Chapter 272 Lucky Star 7 (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
Tang Jiayou even suspected that his brother might not like women. In order to avoid being teased by his brother, he repeatedly and intentionally or unintentionally stated that he was a straight man and did not like men.
Looking back now, I realize how foolish I was. It was clearly my brother who had high standards and looked down on those ordinary women.
He thought that his grandfather's phone had too high a resolution and the beauty filter was too strong when he saw Ning Yan's photo yesterday, making Ning Yan look too beautiful. But actually, Ning Yan is not photogenic and is even more beautiful in person than in the photo!
Otherwise, how could the brother have fallen in love with Ning Yan at first sight!
Ning Yan greeted Nie Jiu as soon as she entered, "Boss."
Nie Jiu nodded, gesturing for her to sit down.
Tang Jiayou smiled and said, "I was in such a rush yesterday that I didn't even have time to introduce myself. Old Tang is my grandfather. He praised you highly and even sent me your photo, trying to set us up."
As he spoke, he kept an eye on his brother's reaction, and sure enough, the man's face slowly turned ugly.
Goodness, he's really a loner!
It was just a casual remark, but my brother is already unhappy. It seems that it won't be long before he gets to drink at his brother's wedding.
"However, I'm a bit of a jerk. I'll always like 18-year-old girls and I'm destined not to stay with anyone. So, let's be brothers."
"It's so nice to go out for a drink and a meal whenever we have free time!"
Nie Jiu: "...You're talking about a meal buddy!"
What brothers? How can a man and a woman be brothers?
Tang Jiayou: Fine, fine, so we can't even be brothers?
"A meal buddy is fine, I have no objection if Ningyan agrees."
"As long as I don't have to treat them or pay for it, I naturally have no objection."
Ning Yan looked like she was determined not to spend a single penny of her money, which made the two of them burst into laughter.
Tang Jiayou smiled and assured him, "Don't worry, I definitely won't let you treat me. Your salary isn't even enough for two meals."
Soon, lunch for the three of them was served. The seafood buffet wasn't all seafood; Nie Jiu's diet focused on a balanced mix of meat and vegetables.
The food prepared by the head chef himself was much tastier than the buffet she had eaten before. She kept praising it as she ate, which made the other two eat an extra bowl of rice.
When the three of them came out of the private room after finishing their meal, a group of customers downstairs had already left. The manager was talking to a man dressed as a salesman, and there was an open bag of fresh meatballs on the bar.
"We have four kinds of handmade meatballs: pork meatballs, shrimp meatballs, octopus balls, and beef meatballs. Zijin Yunding is the most upscale seafood restaurant in the city, so it deserves these carefully handmade meatballs."
The manager was somewhat tempted. Compared to fresh seafood, these meatballs were cheaper and easier to cook, so it wouldn't hurt to try making some and selling them.
He was already planning to take some to the kitchen to cook and try it.
Ning Yan glanced at Wanzi a couple more times, and Nie Jiu noticed, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing much, it's just that we have so many chefs at home, we can totally make the meatballs ourselves, at least we can guarantee the freshness of the ingredients."
Besides, everyone's spending 1688 yuan on this all-you-can-eat buffet, who wouldn't want to eat a couple more king crabs and imported langoustines? Who would even want meatballs? We're not a hot pot restaurant!
"You're right! From now on, we'll try to sell fresh ingredients in the store as much as possible, and no processed food is allowed."
The manager had already handed several bags of meatballs to the waiter, but he quickly snatched them back and gave them to the man who was selling them.
Although the man was somewhat disappointed that he hadn't been able to close the deal, he smiled and said that he would cooperate with him again if there was an opportunity in the future, and then left.
That was the end of it, and nobody took it to heart.
The manager, however, went to the kitchen specifically to explain the boss's instructions.
He specifically instructed that, apart from instant noodles which were too troublesome to continue using those big brands, all noodles, dumplings, etc., should be made to order, emphasizing health and safety.
Actually, since everyone is eating at the all-you-can-eat buffet, not many people like to eat staple foods. The chefs who make staple foods aren't too busy, so everyone accepts it well.
Ning Yan originally planned to rent an electric scooter to go home after getting off work at nine o'clock in the evening. It would only cost two yuan. Now that the weather is hot, riding an electric scooter with the wind blowing is very comfortable.
I had just taken out my phone to scan the QR code when it rang.
Caller: Boss.
"My car is to your left front, do you see it?"
Ning Yan looked up to her left and saw the headlights of a black car in front of her flash.
"Then what?"
"Come here, I'll take you home."
Ning Yan chuckled softly, then hung up the phone, walked to the car, opened the passenger door, and sat down confidently.
"**Hotel, thank you, boss."
Nie Jiu frowned: "You're staying at a hotel?"
Moreover, he had never even heard of that hotel before, so he knew it couldn't be very high-end.
"Yes, I used to rent an apartment, but the environment was too bad and a bit unsafe, so I temporarily moved into a hotel. Anyway, it's not far from the company, so it's quite convenient."
With a monthly salary of 50,000, spending 5,000 on a hotel room with cleaning services is simply the best deal.
Nie Jiu didn't find anything particularly good about it, so after dropping her off at the hotel, he didn't leave. Instead, he followed Ning Yan upstairs. Although it was a bit impolite, he still looked around the entire room.
The bed sheets and duvet covers were not the hotel's standard style, and the bath towels and hand towels in the bathroom were also pink, which Ning Yan must have prepared herself.
"When you're resting at night, make sure to lock the door and put the chain lock on. If anything seems amiss, call the police immediately. You can also call me; I live near the company."
Ning Yan nodded in agreement and poured him a glass of mineral water.
Nie Jiu took the water glass and took a sip, but her eyes remained fixed on Ning Yan.
Ning Yan raised an eyebrow: "Boss, is there something you want to say to me?"
Nie Jiu hesitated for a while but didn't say anything. The next day, he picked Ning Yan up to go to work, had lunch together, and took her back to her hotel in the evening.
When they went upstairs, there were other people in the elevator. Nie Jiu naturally moved closer to Ning Yan. However, there weren't many people in the elevator, so they were practically touching each other, but his hand accidentally touched Ning Yan twice.
When Ning Yan looked over, the man immediately turned his gaze away, not daring to look at her.
Ning Yan's lips curled up slightly.
Nie Jiu stole a glance at her and saw that she was smiling, and his face instantly burned.
Once he got off the elevator, Nie Jiu slowed down his pace, because if he didn't slow down, he would have to go back immediately.
Ning Yan: Luckily there are no ants in this hotel, otherwise they would have all been trampled to death by the two of them.
After finally managing to get to her room door, I said, "Boss, you can go back now, I'm going in."
Nie Jiu gave a low "hmm," but his feet didn't move an inch.
Ning Yan had no choice but to open the door and tentatively ask, "Why don't you come in and sit down?"
Nie Jiu was somewhat tempted, but still refused.
