"I didn't mean it like that," Li Si said quickly, seeing Guo Xuyang's expression turn cold.
She didn't know why she was acting this way, why she was afraid of Guo Xuyang getting angry.
According to her personality, there was no need for this at all.
"Gao Lihua is my woman. It's okay if you don't like her, but please don't slander her.
Meeting is fate. It takes a hundred years to share a boat, and a thousand years to sleep in the same bed. Although she is not my wife, she is my woman.
I hope you find your place in the future."
"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to."
"Alright, Yang Zi, Si Si didn't mean to belittle Gao Lihua. There's no need to dwell on it."
Lin Ziqi stepped in to mediate as things were about to get awkward.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Lin Ziqi called out.
Two people pushed a small cart into the room.
On it was a large pot of lamb soup and oysters, along with various seasonings.
"Mr. Lin, your lamb soup is ready," said a handsome young man.
"You can leave it here. You two can go now," Lin Ziqi waved them off.
"Okay," the two replied and left.
"New staff?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"What?" Lin Ziqi didn't understand what Guo Xuyang meant.
"The young man is quite handsome."
"Are you jealous? The head chef hired them, I didn't inquire."
"People are the face of the establishment. Hiring some good-looking guys and girls is fine."
"As long as you're not jealous, it's fine," Lin Ziqi said with a smile.
"Hurry up and eat, it'll be bad if it gets cold.
Si Si, come over and try, see how this lamb soup is cooked?"
"That would be great. You usually don't spare it."
Li Si ignored Guo Xuyang and sat down directly.
"Is this sent from the provincial capital?" Guo Xuyang asked after tasting the lamb soup.
"Yes, every time they deliver jade, I ask them to bring me some lamb."
"You certainly know how to enjoy yourself."
"You eat and drink well every day, why can't I?"
"Is there any beef?" Guo Xuyang didn't dwell on this topic.
"There's very little beef. Usually, only a few dozen jin are sent."
"You can have the hotel car go pick it up."
"If you hadn't spoken up, no one would dare to pick it up. If you hadn't come this time, I wouldn't have had someone cook lamb soup for you."
"Don't you sell it externally?"
"I'm eating this for the next generation, how could I sell it?"
"No wonder Li Si said you were reluctant.
From now on, if you run out, contact me directly, and I'll arrange for someone to deliver it." Guo Xuyang said.
"Really? That's great." Lin Ziqi was very happy.
"Eat up, everyone. After we eat, I'll arrange for someone to take me to the cold storage. I need to know where to put the beef and lamb."
"Let's eat first. Look at the time, you must be starving."
Lin Ziqi ladled a bowl for Guo Xuyang. When she was about to ladle for Gao Lihua, Gao Lihua took the bowl from her.
"Sister-in-law, let me do it. It's not convenient for you." Gao Lihua took the bowl.
"Okay," Lin Ziqi said, handing the spoon and bowl to Gao Lihua.
Gao Lihua first ladled a bowl for Lin Ziqi, then for Li Si, and finally put a bowl in front of herself.
"Eat quickly, it'll be bad if it gets cold," Guo Xuyang said after Gao Lihua sat down.
"Whoever eats, serves themselves. No need for such trouble."
Li Si rolled her eyes upon hearing Guo Xuyang.
He didn't say anything when Lin Ziqi ladled lamb soup for him, but now Gao Lihua ladled bowls for two people and he found fault with it.
Since she was the owner of the hotel, and she had a big mouth, Li Si couldn't control him and could only lower her head and eat speechlessly.
"Have you thought about it? If you have, I can give you a chance," Guo Xuyang suddenly said to her.
"Three hundred million a year in pocket money, otherwise, let's not talk." Li Si replied.
"Are you sure you only want pocket money?"
"And stock options."
"Your appetite is too big, isn't it?"
"How much pocket money does Ziqi get a year? I'm a maiden, so I naturally have to ask for a high price."
Guo Xuyang was so angry he wanted to curse, but he ultimately didn't.
This was a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit.
You can ask for the sky, and I can offer what I can.
"Thirty million, plus three percent in stock options."
"One hundred million, plus three percent in stock options."
"Deal. But you have to give me three children within three years."
"Why should I?" Li Si was displeased.
"Then wouldn't I become a baby-making machine? Besides, what if I can't have children because of your seed? Who is responsible?"
"The money remains the same. If it's due to health reasons, it can be postponed."
"I want to be your wife."
"That can be arranged, but not now. Let's wait until after you've had children."
"If we don't get married, my mother won't agree to me having your children."
"This is a matter between the two of us, it has nothing to do with your family."
"How can it not be related? Haven't you heard? Marriage isn't just about two people, but about two families."
"You're absolutely right, but it's not applicable to me.
Here, there are only women. As for family, you can tell your parents, or let them come to my house to discuss. But I advise you not to.
Because if your parents come, they definitely won't agree to you marrying me.
You should know my family situation. There are plenty of women waiting to have children for me, and I can't marry them all.
Of course, if you're unwilling, I can't help it."
Guo Xuyang said shamelessly.
Li Si was completely defeated by his shameless words. She had met shameless people before, but never someone so utterly shameless.
