His expression made it seem as if he had stuffed a box of razor blades into He Jing's hand.
He Jing opened it and found it was a pair of elegant Mary Jane shoes with beautiful pearls embedded in the laces.
Well……
He Jing was genuinely surprised. It wasn't her birthday or any holiday recently, so why would He Zhou give her leather shoes out of the blue?
He Jing could only attribute this to He Zhou's congratulatory gift for her entering Qingyuan.
Otherwise, the idea of buying her things just because you have money would be completely unacceptable in Hezhou.
He Jing took the shoebox back, took out the shoes and tried them on; the size was just right.
Seemingly to avoid the lessons learned from the last sports meet, this time he chose shoes with very loose toes, so they wouldn't get rubbed even without socks. These shoes actually looked better next to the uniform shoes issued by Eun-go.
He Jing smiled, her red lips curving into a wide smile.
He Ning was on his way to the gymnasium to practice, with the coach paying for it. Moreover, the provincial team coach had already approached him. As he passed by He Jing's room, he saw her smiling at the new shoes on the floor and was startled.
He Jing immediately noticed He Ning: "Second Brother."
He Ning quickly looked away, holding the basketball He Jing had given him, and casually said, "I'm going to the court to practice."
"Go, Second Brother!"
"Um."
...
After He Ning left, He Jing was completely idle. He Sui took He Xiaoguo to a training class, He Yi stayed at a classmate's house, and only He Zhou and He Chen were at home.
He Zhou gave her a pair of shoes and then acted like he wanted to cut ties with her forever. He Chen was in his room writing and it wasn't convenient to disturb him, so she found it unusual to have some peace and quiet by herself.
Normally, she's in class at this time, and during the ten minutes after class, she either does her homework or is chatted with by Shen Qiuyu. But now that she doesn't have any summer homework, she doesn't know what to do.
Why don't you check out the training courses?
He Jing got out of bed and looked for the advertisement she had seen when she enrolled He Xiaoguo.
The thought flashed through her mind, and He Jing immediately got out of bed to find the advertising flyer she had received when she enrolled He Xiaoguo.
"Fangqing Street, Chaoyang District..."
He Jing silently read the address on the flyer.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door three times.
He Jing suddenly snapped out of her daze, looked up, and saw He Zhou standing expressionlessly at the door, saying, "Come with me to Zhou's Restaurant."
He Jing clutched the flyer, her eyes filled with confusion: "What's wrong, Third Brother?"
"A difficult guest suddenly arrived at the hotel and specifically requested that I serve him."
These are the exact words spoken by the hotel manager when he called.
He Jing: "Wait for me."
Then, she kicked off her slippers and put on the little leather shoes that He Zhouxin had given her.
He Zhou glanced at it, and a hint of softness unconsciously appeared in his gloomy eyes.
Fearing that it would delay important matters, He Jing specially called a car and rushed to Zhou's Restaurant with He Zhou.
Soon, the magnificent building of Zhou's Hotel stood before them. The manager, dressed in a black suit, stood anxiously at the entrance. When he saw He Zhou get out of the car, he looked at him as if he had seen a savior.
"You've finally arrived."
He Zhou asked crisply and efficiently, "Where is that guest?"
"In the VIP room." The manager explained as he led He Zhou into the restaurant, "That guest has a Golden Tongue Gold Card and wants you to cook a dish in front of him. I've already had your cooking equipment brought in; all that's missing is you. You know what a Golden Tongue Gold Card customer is..."
This card is a pass that no four-star hotel or above can refuse. It represents the highest level in the industry and can easily assess the ability of a hotel or a chef. A hotel that receives a bad review, even if it was originally of superior status, will suffer a setback as a result, while an inconspicuous chef will become famous in the next few years after receiving a good review.
This presents both an opportunity and a challenge.
