Having distributed the books, Bai Xiaofei only gave a few sentences of encouragent. After all, the enthusiasm of the girls on the Blossom Ranking had already gone through the roof without him having to say anything more.
The departure of the beauties also officially announced the complete success of the first stage of his plan. Compared to those already on the Blossom Ranking, the girls who wanted to be on it but had missed their chances were simply too easy to persuade. Bai Xiaofei didn’t have to make the move himself, he only needed to let Yun Jingshuang hand out the books.
Therefore, what Bai Xiaofei had to do now was to prepare the next stage. For this, he must go to see soone – the long-ti-no-see boss of the Thousand Aroma Restaurant, Liu Lingyun.
Honestly, Liu Lingyun’s patience was laudable. Just the renovation alone had already taken such a long ti, and after the renovation, there had been no movent from Bai Xiaofei, but this fellow didn't even utter a sound, not intending to disturb Bai Xiaofei at all.
Even Bai Xiaofei himself was a little embarrassed for taking so much money from the guy without any visible returns, which was contrary to his principles as a human. Therefore, he even turned down the invitations from Hu Xian’er and the others and imdiately ran straight to the Thousand Aroma Restaurant as soon as he handled the Blossom Ranking matter.
Standing at the gate of the Thousand Aroma Restaurant, Bai Xiaofei hesitated for half a second.
Not because he was embarrassed, but because he was afraid. He had developed an allergy to this place. And the allergen was Rui ngqi!
Every now and then, what had happened the last ti he was here still appeared in his sleep in the form of nightmares. The feeling of being scared awake wasn’t pleasant.
Can you imagine having a dream with the breath of romantic spring, when your girlfriend suddenly pushes you away, takes out a big kitchen knife and chases you while chopping and loudly calling you an ungrateful bastard?
Bai Xiaofei didn’t have to imagine, because he already had first-hand experience in his dreams. And the person that called him ‘ungrateful’ was Rui ngqi!
Let the heavens and earth be the judge, this lord has been wronged!
No matter how scared he was, however, he had to enter. If he didn’t see Liu Lingyun, he might just harvest another kind of nightmare.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Xiaofei took a historic step. Inside, the hostesses were half-asleep. However, it wasn’t that they were unprofessional, but that the Thousand Aroma Restaurant was too cold and cheerless.
“Boss Bai! You’ve co!” exclaid a hostess imdiately the mont she saw Bai Xiaofei. Ever since the end of the renovation, Liu Lingyun had passed down an instruction that whoever received Bai Xiaofei would be rewarded with half a month's salary!
“Are you looking for Director Rui this ti?” The girl was very sensible. She didn’t directly ntion Liu Lingyun, but tried to anticipate Bai Xiaofei from his perspective.
As for why Rui ngqi was found in his perspective, don't even ask...
Who in the Thousand Aroma Restaurant didn’t know that Rui ngqi was parachuted into here because of Bai Xiaofei?
Who didn’t know that Rui ngqi received Bai Xiaofei personally every ti he visited?
Who didn’t know that Bai Xiaofei once gave Rui ngqi a piece of Crystal’s Longing!
Also, who didn’t know that Rui ngqi would shout out Bai Xiaofei's na in her dreams!
If soone said there was nothing between them, would you believe it? Well, no one in the Thousand Aroma Restaurant would.
As for how those were known by others, it was very simple. As long as soone asked Rui ngqi, she wouldn’t hide anything.
“No, I'm looking for Boss Lu.” Bai Xiaofei, who didn’t know anything, didn’t think much about the question and simply stated his purpose.
When the hostess heard that Bai Xiaofei had co to find Liu Lingyun, her eyes imdiately lit up. Here cos half a month's salary!
“Let take you to him. Boss Lu has been waiting for you for a long ti!” Her using the respectful form of ‘you’ made Bai Xiaofei feel uncomfortable all over.
“Ehh, Sister, you don't have to call ‘you,’ just call by my na, or even ‘Boss Bai’ is good. I'm only sixteen...” Bai Xiaofei awkwardly interrupted the hostess.
The hostess couldn’t help but laugh out loud at his shy little act. Who would have thought that the ‘headache’ of Starnet would have such a cute side to him? Well, the word ‘cute’ needed to be reconsidered, but let's make do with it for now...
“Good, Boss Bai, let us go!” Her mood being lifted by Bai Xiaofei, the hostess led the way with a hint of joy that was hard to hide.
Soon, they arrived at the top floor where Liu Lingyun was. This ti there was nothing on this floor besides Liu Lingyun's office.
Regarding enjoying life, Lu Lingyun was definitely the best expert in the entire academy. After all, he ca from a big place.
“Boss, Boss Bai is here.”
The hostess knocked and inford gently in a voice as if she was afraid of frightening Liu Lingyun, but such a light voice was t with a series of loud noises. In less than a second, the door opened with a bang. The mont he saw Bai Xiaofei, Liu Lingyun's stubble-covered face didn’t show excitent, but injustice...
“If you had co any later, I’d go crazy.” Liu Lingyun choked as he said this. There was no one else but this weirdo Bai Xiaofei who was able to drive the mighty big boss to such a state.
“Brother Lu, calm down, there’s still another person here!” Bai Xiaofei hurriedly comforted upon seeing Liu Lingyun on the verge of tears. He wouldn’t know how to coax such a big man if he really cried out loud!
Indeed, Liu Lingyun heeded the reminder and successfully controlled himself. He turned to the hostess and sent her away, saying, “Receive your reward from finance. You can go now.”
“Won’t you invite in for a drink?” In order to ease the atmosphere, Bai Xiaofei asked without any sha.
“How many glasses do you want? My wines are all ancient now. If I don’t get to sell them soon, they’d be old enough for auction!” His words were full of bitterness; Bai Xiaofei had really turned Liu Lingyun from a big boss into a codian.
“They will sell, they will sell...” With a hint of embarrassnt on his face, Bai Xiaofei, who didn’t regard himself as an outsider, entered Liu Lingyun's ‘office.’
Erm, using the word ‘office’ to describe it was really an understatent for this room. Even a presidential suite was nothing compared to this.
“Just sit down anywhere. Don't mind it. The place is small,” Liu Lingyun said lightly, but Bai Xiaofei gulped with difficulty.
This place is small... then what do you call the place where I live?
Forget it, let’s not bring myself down.
Helplessly shaking his head, Bai Xiaofei shook away the redundant thoughts and looked at Liu Lingyun, who was walking towards him with a glass of wine. For the first ti, Bai Xiaofei was too embarrassed to know how to start the conversation...
“I hope you didn't just co here just for a drink, otherwise, you’ll need to be ready to take over the Thousand Aroma Restaurant.” Liu Lingyun passed the glass to Bai Xiaofei as his expression revealed a trace of pain and embarrassnt.
“What do you an?” Bai Xiaofei realized that there was more to it from Liu Lingyun’s words.
“The inspector sent from headquarters to carry out an assessnt is coming ahead of schedule this year...”
