Chapter 178: Kick the ball straight at the start
Under Huo Qingyu's guidance, Yang Chenyue dazedly saved his name in the phone.
Huo Qingyu finished his coffee, stood up and said, "Good coffee. Then I will start pursuing you."
Yang Chenyue, "..."
The girl was well-behaved to begin with, and the word "boss" could never be associated with her. In most people's minds, female bosses are shrewd and strong, and when they are older, they are labeled as seductive. After all, this is an industry related to beauty. However, Yang Chenyue's image completely overturned Huo Qingyu's stereotype of female bosses.
Looking at her silly look, Huo Qingyu said, "I'll leave today so as not to disturb your business. What time do you get off work tonight? I'll pick you up?"
Yang Chenyue: "..."
Huo Qingyu curled his lips, "Why do you always have this expression? Are you scared?"
This time Yang Chenyue finally responded, nodded, and said, "Yeah." She looked into Huo Qingyu's deep and sharp eyes and said, "Are you being urged to get married by your family? Do you need someone to deal with you? I can help you with this, but I can't."
Huo Qingyu narrowed his eyes slightly. This lamb-like girl was actually so meticulous. How could she have been discovered? But he didn't just randomly grab someone to deal with his family, did he? He is really interested in this girl.
Huo Qingyu raised his eyebrows, "Why can't you?"
Yang Chenyu, "I'm so much younger than you, I'm sure I'll be exposed!"
Huo Qingyu had a frown on his forehead. How old is he?
After a brief silence, Huo Qingyu asked Yang Chenyue, "Besides the fact that I'm older than you, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
Yang Chenyue, "???"
Huo Qingyu, "I'm not doing this to please my family. I really want to pursue you and get married."
Yang Chenyue, "Why? This is the first time we meet."
Huo Qingyu, "How can there be a second time without a first time?"
"???"
"Okay, I'll go first and pick you up from get off work later. Is that okay?"
Yang Chenyue, "No."
"Why? Even though I'm older than you, you should at least give me a chance!"
Yang Chenyue said, "Not today, I have a dinner party for my employees tonight." There were too many orders today, and several part-time makeup artists had to get up early in the morning to run around Kyoto to do makeup and styling for people. There were only a few who followed the makeup, and the rest could go home after finishing their makeup and hair. But that was also very hard work, and they basically got up at 5:30.
Huo Qingyu's eyes lit up with joy. Does the girl mean that he can pursue her?
"Where are you planning to eat?" Huo Qingyu asked.
Yang Chenyue, "I heard that a new hotpot restaurant opened nearby and it's pretty good. We plan to go there and eat hotpot."
Huo Qingyu, "There's a 'Han Ji Restaurant' on your street that serves pretty good food."
A shop assistant pretending to work outside the tea room said, "Boss Yang, we all want to go to Han Ji. I heard the food is super delicious!"
Yang Chenyue, "Didn't you guys want to eat hot pot?"
"Oh! Don't you feel like eating hot pot now? We've been eyeing Han's Restaurant for a long time, so why don't we eat there today?"
Yang Chenyue, “Okay then!” Business was good today and we made a lot of profit, so we’ll just bleed once and eat at Han’s.
The store manager was older than Yang Chenyue. He had just heard some gossip from the girls upstairs. After coming downstairs, he asked with a smile, "Boss Yang, is this your boyfriend? He's so handsome! He's so young and has so many stars on his shoulders!"
The youngest makeup artist in the store poked her head in and asked, "Boss Yang, will my brother-in-law go to dinner with us?"
Yang Chenyue, "Hey, what are you talking about? He's not a boyfriend, just an ordinary friend."
Huo Qingyu looked at the shop assistants in front of him and said, "I'm pursuing your boss Xiao Yang. What time do you get off work? I'll treat you."
Yang Chenyue: "..." Did she meet a lunatic or a liar?
The store manager looked at his watch and said, "All the makeup artists who went out today are back. Everyone go upstairs and find a place to rest. We will get off work promptly at 4:30 and have lunch."
Yang Chenyue: “…” Who is the boss?
The store manager looked at Huo Qingyu and said, "Don't be surprised, boss. I am the store manager. I usually arrange everything for the store. Today's dinner and the time to get off work were already discussed with General Manager Xiao Yang in advance."
Huo Qingyu nodded and said in a low voice, "That's reasonable."
“…”
The man checked his watch and looked at the cute Mr. Yang. "You should take a rest as well. I'll go to Han Ji to order food first. I'll come pick you up when the time comes?"
Don't be fooled by Yang Chenyue's cute and silly appearance. Actually, she is quite smart. Mr. Han, the owner of Han Ji Restaurant, was once an investor in the TV series adapted from the famous novel starring Fang Wenxi. He also had a scandal with Fang Wenxi, and Huo Qingyu also had a scandal with Fang Wenxi.
Yang Chenyue glanced at the store manager, who sent the other employees away and went to the front hall.
Yang Chenyue then looked at Huo Qingyu, "Do you know the boss of Han Ji?"
Huo Qingyu nodded, "Boss Han Ji is my brother-in-law."
Yang Chenyue, "The famous Han Jianwu, President Han?"
Huo Qingyu, "Yes."
Yang Chenyue, "Can I ask you for a favor?"
Huo Qingyu, "Don't use you on me, you can."
Yang Chenyue, "Okay, can I ask you for a favor?"
"explain?"
"Could you please not come to the dinner with us?"
Huo Qingyu pursed his lips in silence for a while, nodded, and said: "Okay, I'll go over and book a private room for you, and leave after you've settled in."
Yang Chenyue, "No need."
Huo Qingyu, "It's just a piece of cake. I'll leave first, you go and get some rest." He looked at Yang Chenyue again, "Don't reject my pursuit."
“…”
"I don't look that old, do I?"
Yang Chenyue, "Why do you want to pursue me?"
Huo Qingyu, "You again?"
Yang Chenyue said "Oh!" and asked, "Why are you thinking of pursuing me?"
Huo Qingyu stared at the girl for a second and said, "I can't tell you why, it's just my intuition." He had a gut feeling that this was his wife.
Yang Chenyue, "You say you want to pursue me when you don't even know me, isn't that too casual?"
Huo Qingyu, "Isn't the process of pursuit the process of understanding? If I had known you earlier, I would have understood you a long time ago. Isn't this just knowing you?"
When it comes to the logic of the negotiation, Yang Chenyue seems to be a little bit inferior to Huo Qingyu?
Yang Chenyue’s studio is less than a thousand meters away from Han Ji Restaurant, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there.
When Huo Qingyu went to the store manager to order food, Jiang Zian happened to be in the store and said to the store manager, "You go and do your work. I will take care of Commander Huo."
Jiang Zian felt something was wrong the more he listened, and looked up at Huo Qingyu, "Who are you ordering for?"
Huo Qingyu, "A girl and her employees, is there a problem?"
Jiang Zian, "No problem, but who is this girl to you?" I have known Huo Qingyu for a few years and this is the first time I see him being so attentive.
Huo Qingyu, "My future daughter-in-law, you have to do your job well. If you mess up, I will punish you."
Jiang Zian turned his back on Huo Qingyu and called Huo Qingqing and Han Jianwu to ask what was going on.
