The car slowly stopped in front of Tang Li and a group of people including Feng Caixia and Huo Qianli.
As Su Yan got out of the car, before she even saw anyone, Feng Caixia and Huo Qianli rushed to her side and hugged her tightly.
"I'm so glad to finally see you, my little girl!" Feng Caixia exclaimed, her voice trembling with excitement.
Huo Qianli stared at Su Yan in disbelief, "How come you've become so thin, you're just a skeleton?"
Su Yan sighed, "The poison I was given was too potent. I've become like this in just a few days. I'll have to take it slowly later."
Feng Caixia released her, pinched her flesh, and then felt only bones in her hand. Her brows immediately furrowed. "You really need to eat well. You're so unhealthy. A gust of wind could blow you over. But you're really foolish. Is it worth it for a man?"
Jiang Jingxing is indeed a good man, but there are plenty of good men out there, and besides, they've only been dating for a short time.
She almost lost her life for a man, but she felt it wasn't worth it at all, since he wasn't her husband.
“You know she’s a bit slow, that’s enough. We’ve already criticized her. If you criticize her again, she’ll be upset,” Su Yu said as he got out of the car from the other side.
Feng Caixia glanced at Su Yan, who looked like a wronged little wife. She didn't want to say anything more, so she said, "Alright, today is a happy day, so let's talk about happy things."
Xie Jin then got out of the driver's seat. Feng Caixia raised an eyebrow and asked, "This must be Ah Yan's senior brother, right?"
Xie Jin nodded and extended his hand, saying, "Hello."
"Hello, welcome."
Tang Li walked over and said, "Don't stand here talking, let's go inside and check out the hotel."
After he finished speaking, he shook hands with Su Yu, but when facing Xie Jin, he only nodded slightly.
Xie Jin also smiled and glanced at him, clearly indicating that the two knew each other.
Considering the relationship between Tang Li and Jiang Jingxing, it's not surprising that Tang Li and Xie Jin know each other; they must be from the same circle.
She snapped out of her thoughts and asked, "Uncle Tang, is everything going well in Guangzhou?"
"Everything is going smoothly." Tang Li's face was flushed with joy. "My wife's pregnancy is stable, and she should be able to give birth on time if there are no complications. She heard that you were coming here today and originally wanted to come with you, but it takes more than two hours to get here from my place, so I didn't let her come. She asked me to invite you and Caixia to my house as guests after I finish my business."
“No problem,” Feng Caixia replied immediately.
Su Yan thought for a moment, "I have to take my brother to the train station today. How about we visit him after I'm done with this busy period?"
Besides checking the restaurant's condition today, there are many other things to discuss. If we go to Tang Li's house as well, we'll be in a bit of a rush.
Tang Li said, "Of course, no problem. Let's get down to business first. Why don't you come and see how the renovation is going?"
He said he would turn to the side so that Su Yan could see the restaurant better.
Su Yan raised her head.
Xie Jin and Su Yu followed her gaze.
The restaurant, which originally had a liver-colored exterior, has been completely transformed. Its red and gold exterior is grand and eye-catching, without any hint of tackyness. Two exquisite white and gold lanterns hang above the entrance, and even the steps leading to the entrance are decorated with lotus flower and leaf patterns.
Stepping into the restaurant, the same color scheme was used inside. However, Boss Zhu added some of his own design. He actually painted various antique-style murals on the walls, including landscape paintings and paintings of the twelve zodiac animals. Each one gave people a lifelike visual experience and was very exquisite!
Su Yan couldn't stop smiling when she saw this. "Looks like I'll have to thank Boss Zhu properly for his thoughtfulness later."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a hearty laugh came from outside the door.
"Mr. Su can thank me properly now."
The person who came was Zhu Gongcheng. He strode to Su Yan's side and said with a smile, "I was worried that you would be unhappy, since I put it up on my own initiative. Now it seems that my idea is to your liking."
As he spoke, he pointed to the tables and chairs in the lobby one by one, "I also had these things recolored and repainted with patterns, so that they match the overall color scheme of the restaurant."
Su Yan walked to the tables. Each table had flowers painted on its four corners and the center of its surface, and the flowers on each table were different.
"Mr. Zhu is truly amazing. I want to thank you sincerely again," she said happily.
Zhu Gongcheng said, "Actually, this wasn't entirely my idea. When the renovation was finished, I always felt that something was missing, but you couldn't come and see it for yourself. Then my cousin came to visit me for dinner on the weekend. When she passed by the restaurant, she was very interested in the color scheme and wanted to come in and take a look."
As soon as she came in, she said something was missing: "My cousin is an art student, and all the paintings in the restaurant are her work. Mr. Su, my cousin thinks your color schemes are very creative and would like to discuss them with you sometime."
Su Yan: "..." This is truly a huge misunderstanding.
She quickly explained, "Then I might have to disappoint your cousin, because I saw this color in a book, it wasn't my own idea. But I'll thank her in person sometime, she gave me a really big surprise."
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Zhu Gongcheng's eyes, then he said, "By the way, I've also prepared the signboard for you. Have you thought of a name for the restaurant yet?"
Su Yan immediately looked at Tang Li and Feng Caixia.
Tang Li: "I'm fine with anything, you two decide."
Feng Caixia coughed lightly, "I'm not very cultured, and the names I came up with are not elegant enough."
Su Yan's lips twitched, and she pointed to her nose, "So you're counting on me?"
“Oh, whatever you think of sounds better than what Tang Li and I came up with,” Feng Caixia said.
Can you just think about things like that?
Su Yan felt a little helpless.
Everyone's eyes were on her.
Su Yu said, "You can think of several, and then we can all filter the final result together."
Knowing his sister as he did, it was impossible that she hadn't thought about the restaurant's name at all.
Just as he guessed, Su Yan had already thought of several possibilities.
She hesitated and said, "Flower Shadow Dream, Tea Fragrance Record, Half-Day Leisure, and Full Moon Pavilion? These four names all have their own meanings. I will explain them after everyone chooses the final name."
Tang Li pondered for a moment and said, "I think Tea Fragrance and Half-Day Leisure are both pretty good."
Feng Caixia and Huo Qianli liked Flower Shadow Dream and Half a Day of Leisure.
Su Yu and Xie Jin shared the same idea as Tang Li.
"Then let's have a half-day of leisure, since that's the most popular option," Su Yan said. "The meaning of 'half-day of leisure' is simple: to make guests feel comfortable and at ease while enjoying tea at our restaurant during their leisure time."
"What does 'Flower Shadow Dream' mean?" Huo Qianli asked curiously.
"It immerses you in a beautiful, dreamlike world."
"The name has a good meaning, but it's a bit too dreamy. Male customers might not like it. This name will attract more female customers," Tang Li offered his opinion.
