Chapter 548 The People Who Came to Eat
"No, I know the technology I'm investing in, I'm not going to join this frenzy."
Fang Luxue resolutely refused.
Then, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Sister Qi, Wu Gousheng's name is so awful. Why didn't you ask Headmaster Tao and Master Wan to give him a new one?"
Wan Qiqi stared at Fang Luxue for a while, then chuckled and said, "Little Xue'er, who told you you can change someone else's name at will? That's the name his parents gave him, it's registered in the household register, how can you just change it like that?"
"Pingping and An'an can be renamed, right?" Fang Luxue said innocently, then added, "We can change the names of the maids and servants we bought!"
Upon hearing this, Wan Qiqi reached out and tapped Fang Luxue on the forehead, saying seriously, "Gousheng is not my follower or servant; he is my younger brother."
Fang Luxue touched her forehead, which was still sore from being tapped, and muttered "Oh." She then said, "When a boy comes of age, he can ask his teacher to give him a name. Why don't you ask his teacher to give him a name too?"
Wan Qiqi didn't answer, but instead looked Fang Lucue up and down and asked, "Why are you so fixated on his name? Anyway, what he's called doesn't seem to have much to do with you, does it?"
"I just think his name sounds awful. All my friends have nice names, none of them sound like his," Fang Luxue muttered to herself.
At this moment, the waiter brought over the dishes that Fang Luxue had ordered earlier.
Looking at the steaming dishes, Fang Luxue quickly forgot about what she had just been agonizing over and buried herself in eating.
Seeing that she was eating so intently, Wan Qiqi didn't disturb her. Instead, she got up and wandered around to see if there was anything she was doing wrong.
Although the place is large and there are few staff, it doesn't feel rushed at all, and no customers are rushing to order their food.
Some people sat eating snacks and chatting, while others gathered around to watch the pitch-pot game; everything seemed very harmonious.
This harmony made Wan Qiqi feel a little uncomfortable. After all, the opening of Hefeng Town was full of twists and turns, but today there wasn't even a single troublemaker.
At this moment, Wan Qiqi suddenly spotted someone who looked somewhat familiar in the crowd playing pitch-pot.
Although she had only met this person once, she wouldn't mistake him for someone else.
"Li Guannian?"
A silvery female voice interrupted Li You's attention.
He looked around, his gaze finally settling on the woman approaching.
"Chen Yongnian's wife?" He was somewhat uncertain.
Although Wan Qiqi's clothes were the same as when they last met, her temperament was somewhat different.
Last time, she exuded feminine charm, making one think of her as a delicate and charming woman relying on her husband; but today, she carries a sharp edge, appearing more independent.
"Why does Li Guannian have time to come over?" Wan Qiqi put on her signature fake smile and, without waiting for the other party to answer, said, "Li Guannian, why didn't you say so earlier? I would have had someone reserve a good seat for you."
Li You seemed somewhat hesitant, still somewhat unable to believe that this person was Chen Yongnian's wife.
She not only looks clever, but also has a touch of nobility about her.
Thinking back to his own wife, he realized she was completely unsuitable for the job, let alone capable of running a restaurant.
Li You grew angrier and angrier, wondering how Chen Yongnian could find such a woman.
He felt that Chen Yongnian was not worthy of such an outstanding woman!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Wan Qiqi didn't speak either. She just stood there quietly, watching to see what he was trying to figure out about her.
"Li You? I didn't expect him to be here."
A clear male voice interrupted Li You's thoughts once again.
He turned his head and saw that it was Qi Yang who had called him, along with Chen Yongnian and several yamen runners.
"Why can't I be here? Just because the owner of this restaurant is your wife, does that mean I can't come in?" Li You said, glancing at Chen Yongnian and letting out a cold snort.
"Did I say that?" Chen Yongnian asked in a deep voice, then walked to Wan Qiqi's side, changed his expression, and smiled, "I brought them here to eat."
"Great! I've reserved a private room on the second floor, you can eat and chat without worry." Wan Qiqi said, tilting her head to look at Qi Yang, "I promised to treat you to dinner last time, and I kept my word~"
“Your restaurant has just opened, and you still have a lot of expenses. Wait until you make money before you treat me to a meal! Today, I'm treating all the brothers under my command to dinner,” Li You said seriously.
The constables standing behind him immediately nodded in agreement with Li You's words.
Wan Qiqi didn't argue with Li You, and led him upstairs, leaving Li You in the lobby.
She reserved a private room for them with the theme "Plum Blossom," and the room was decorated with plum blossoms.
Today, the room feels like it's filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms.
Qi Yang sniffed the air and asked curiously, "There are no plum blossoms at this time of year, so why does it still smell like plum blossoms?"
He followed the scent and then stopped at a small porcelain bottle.
He leaned closer and sniffed, saying, "The fragrance is coming from here. It's such a small bottle, yet the contents inside can spread the fragrance throughout the entire room. What kind of wonderful thing is this?"
Of course, Wan Qiqi wouldn't tell him that this was perfume she bought at the mall!
"This is a little secret of our restaurant, you can't tell anyone! If you want to give it to your wife, I can sell you a small bottle."
Qi Yang touched his nose and said, "Never mind, this thing looks pretty expensive."
If his wife knew he was wasting money, she would definitely scold him.
No, you can't!
Then, belatedly, he realized, "Oh no, this private room smells so good, I'm going to have trouble explaining this to my wife when I get back!"
"What's so difficult about that? I'll pack some plum blossom dew for you. You can take it back and give it to her, telling her it's from me. That should solve the problem, right?"
