"Big brother, why are we out for dinner today?" Su Ruanruan asked Su Yiqing, swaying her little feet in a comfortable chair and looking around the restaurant with curiosity.
"Because big brother landed a big project today." Su Yiqing's face was full of doting smiles.
Originally, the "Tender Document for the Construction and Operation of Energy-Saving Education and Training Centers for Public Buildings in Hot Summer and Cold Winter Areas" project, although a national-level project and crucial to the transformation of the Su family in the real estate industry, has seen Su Yiqing lead the Su family to gradually reduce its dependence on the real estate industry in recent years, and has already achieved results.
Therefore, winning this project shouldn't have made him so happy in the first place.
However, because a crucial piece of data in the original tender document for this project was incorrect, and Su Ruanruan had taken that tender document after being persuaded by Su Miao.
He reviewed the tender documents again and discovered the problem. He then had his team re-examine and redo the tender documents, which enabled them to win the project in one fell swoop.
After the bidding process ended, he discovered that the Qin family's bidding data was just enough to cover up their previous erroneous data.
It was precisely because of this that Su Yiqing felt that Su Ruanruan was simply his lucky star, which cleared up some of the conflicting feelings he had about his parents dying because of Su Ruanruan, making him especially happy.
The melodious sound of a piano filled the restaurant.
The little dumpling's eyes lit up instantly, "Big Brother is so happy today, Ruan Ruan should treat Big Brother to a meal to celebrate!"
Su Yiqing laughed, "How is Little Softie going to treat Big Brother to a meal?"
The little dumpling wobbled on its short legs and landed on the ground. "Big brother, wait for me."
Su Yiqing watched as the little dumpling went to find the waiter and whispered something to him.
Then I took the little one to the piano. Soon, the piece ended, and the waiter spoke with the original pianist.
The pianist glanced at the little dumpling and then stepped aside.
Su Yiqing watched as the little dumpling gracefully sat down in front of the piano. Then, the music lingered in the air, sometimes soaring, sometimes swaying, deep and melodious yet passionate!
For a moment, everyone dining in the restaurant was completely absorbed in it.
Su Yiqing had some knowledge of music, but she had never heard such beautiful music before.
When the music ended, the restaurant was silent for a long while before thunderous applause erupted.
"Wow, whose child is this? So young, yet so skilled in piano. This must be at least level ten!"
“My good-for-nothing daughter started learning at the age of three, and she’s fifteen now and has only passed the sixth grade. Making her practice the piano for a little while every day is like taking her life.”
"Little Tuanzi plays the piano so well, and she's so cute! She's so soft and adorable. Is she trying to trick me, a staunch non-marriage advocate, into having a baby?"
"Why bother having a child? Can yours be as pretty, cute, and adorable as hers? We might as well just steal one!"
...
As Su Ruanruan stepped down from the piano, people kept asking her questions.
How old is the little girl?
"Little sister, which master did you learn the piano from?"
...
These are all routine questions, and there's also the question, "Little sister, what color burlap sack do you like?"
Is it a multicolored black? Or a dazzling white?
Su Ruanruan stared blankly at the young girl who was smiling like a flower. Even though she had lived for more than twenty years, she still couldn't understand her strange language.
But adhering to the principle of politeness, she tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Rainbow colors!"
The young girl screamed and collapsed onto her best friend, "Ahhh—so cute! I'm going to steal a child, don't stop me!"
Su Ruanruan returned to Su Yiqing's side with an embarrassed smile. "Big brother, the manager has already promised to give us a free meal today! And she also said that I can play a song as payment for my meal anytime I come to eat!"
Su Yiqing's face was full of the pride of a father, "My little Ruanruan is so great!"
"Ruan Ruan, can you tell your brother who taught you to play the piano?"
“It’s Dean Mom!” Su Ruanruan said without hesitation.
She was indeed introduced to piano by the director of the orphanage, who had an old piano donated by someone else at the time.
The dean would play the instrument whenever she had free time, and she especially loved listening to it.
The dean then taught her the skills.
This became her only pastime during her later, boring research life.
Actually, she didn't know her own piano skills. She just heard the pianist play and noticed that he had played several wrong notes. She felt that she should be able to play a little better than him, so she went to talk to the store manager.
"When will Ruanruan take her brother to see the headmistress?" Su Yiqing stroked her soft hair tenderly. "Brother wants to thank her properly for taking such good care of you."
Su Ruanruan was stunned for a moment. Actually, she should go back to the orphanage to visit.
When she traveled back in time, she was in the orphanage. She only left a letter for the director and then ran back to the Su family.
The headmistress must be very worried about her!
Thinking this, she nodded vigorously, "Thank you, bro. Then Ruanruan will take you to see the headmistress when you're not busy!"
"Okay, it's a deal." Su Yiqing said, extending her finger to make a pinky promise with Su Ruanruan.
Su Ruanruan smiled, her bright eyes crinkling into crescent moons. She hooked her little hand around Su Yiqing's big hand, saying, "Pinky promise, never to change for a hundred years, whoever changes is a little puppy!"
