That's all.
"Okay." The waiter smiled and left.
The dishes were served quickly, filling the table to the brim. They looked, smelled, and tasted delicious, and were extremely tempting.
Xuanxuan couldn't wait to urge Bai Mengxue to start eating. Bai Mengxue looked at the exquisitely arranged plate in front of her, which was like a work of art, and hesitated before picking up her chopsticks and taking a piece of green vegetable from the plate closest to her.
The moment the blanched greens, still crisp and tender, entered her mouth, their fresh and refreshing flavor filled her senses, causing Bai Mengxue to widen her eyes in surprise. She was a meat lover, and aside from the last few days of the month when she was short of money and had to cut back on her meals, she rarely ate vegetables. The meat dishes in the school cafeteria weren't expensive, and she could easily afford them.
She had absolutely no appetite for these bright green leafy vegetables.
Today, this leafy green vegetable shattered her understanding of "vegetable leaves".
This restaurant truly lives up to its reputation as a high-end establishment where a plate of shredded potatoes can cost over a hundred yuan. The chef's skill level is indeed exceptional!
Bai Mengxue secretly admired it.
Little did she know that while the chef's skill was indeed exceptional, the quality of the ingredients was paramount.
Although they weren't seated in a private room, their seats were next to a floor-to-ceiling window, with screens surrounded by greenery on both sides. There were no outsiders present, and Tang Xiaoxiao was very approachable, so Bai Mengxue gradually relaxed and began to enjoy her meal to the fullest.
She got up to go to the restroom halfway through, and Xuanxuan seized the opportunity to say to Tang Xiaoxiao, "Auntie, I haven't told anyone about my family at school, so don't let me know!"
"Afraid of trouble?" Tang Xiaoxiao asked.
"Well... it's alright." Xuanxuan pouted. "I came here to study and learn, and I don't want to see those ill-intentioned people always hanging around in front of me."
Since Tang Xinxin married He Zhan, Xuanxuan has become the eldest daughter of the He family. Although she is only a stepdaughter, He Zhan has repeatedly expressed his high regard for Tang Xinxin and her daughter in public, so many people have indeed set their sights on Xuanxuan.
When Xuanxuan was in high school, a boy came to pursue her on his family's orders. He kept saying things like, "If our two families were to get married, it would help solidify your position in the He family." He acted as if he was doing her a favor and that if she refused, she would be ungrateful. This really infuriated the girl.
"Then why are you interning at my company again this time?"
Tang Xiaoxiao asked.
“I only told you that I have a relative who works at ‘Xiaoxiao Ecological Agriculture’ and that I could pull some strings to get us an internship for two months. I didn’t tell the truth, so please cover for me and don’t give me any special treatment.”
"You know we're only sophomores, and we haven't learned any professional knowledge yet. Without connections, no reputable company will hire us. Many students just use their family connections to find a nominal job to do for a couple of months and get some internship credits. In order not to waste two months, I told them I had connections, and it was with a well-known big company. How could they refuse?"
Tang Xiaoxiao looked at the talkative young girl in front of her and nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you have your own ideas. I won't ask anyone to take special care of you when you go to the company tomorrow, but if anyone bullies you, don't put up with it. This is our own territory, there's no reason for you to be wronged."
"Don't worry." Xuanxuan smiled, her eyes crinkling. When she saw Bai Mengxue walking back, she quickly made a "shh" gesture to Tang Xiaoxiao, ending the conversation.
