Da Si Ma Kelly
Chapter 162 To Be a Role Model
I drove straight in. The hotel's appearance immediately energized me.
Wang Rui led me directly to the catering department. It was very quiet inside, and the decoration was very comfortable. The small table we chose was right by the window, where we could overlook the entire view below. Wang Rui went to order food, and I quietly admired the surrounding high-rise buildings. This is the Hangzhou CBD business district, one of the newest and most prosperous areas.
Wang Rui, who had finished ordering, stood beside me and said, "Isn't this pleasing to the eye?"
"Yes, the planning is indeed very beautiful," I replied sincerely.
"Sit down."
I didn't forget the purpose of my visit today, so I immediately took out my phone and made a video call to Pei Shi Yu. She seemed to be very busy, as she didn't answer the first call. Just as I was about to make a second call, she called back, her tone sounding very hurried. She opened her mouth and asked, "Have you found a place yet?"
"I was just about to ask for your opinion. Wang Rui and I are at the Kangdelai Hotel. Do you think it's okay?"
"I haven't eaten there before, as long as the dishes are good."
"We just ordered, haven't started eating yet."
"Today's client is very important, so let Wang Rui take care of it." Pei Shi Yu rarely agreed with Wang Rui.
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I'll pick you up tonight."
"No need, I'll bring them over directly."
"Got it."
When I ended the call, Wang Rui had already sat down, and at the same time, she looked at me with curious eyes and said, "Pei Shi Yu wants me to take care of it?"
"You heard it, why are you still asking?"
"What kind of client are you entertaining today?"
"Investment and foreign trade, can it not be important?"
"I'm interested in that."
"Don't get any funny ideas."
"Don't worry, such despicable behavior is not my forte."
"Cooperation is fine, maybe you'll gain something today too."
"Well, looking forward to it."
During the conversation, four or five dishes were served all at once. They were very exquisitely made. I tasted one of them first, and then praised, "The taste is good."
"Nonsense, would I bring you here if it wasn't good?"
Wang Rui's greatest advantage is that she can eat roadside barbecue and also taste food from high-end hotels. She's completely immersed in the food right now, and she's ordered all the main dishes here. I think Wang Rui's personality is the kind that's relatively easy to get along with.
"Is You Xiang's girlfriend coming back too?" I asked Wang Rui to confirm, because it seemed like she had mentioned it last time.
"If the two of them are sure they'll be together for life, she'll definitely come. Otherwise, my dad's efforts will be in vain."
"Learning English, right?" I asked with a smile.
"Yes, she's studying very hard, and she asks me for advice from time to time."
"Then what about me?"
Wang Rui laughed and replied, "You have Pei Shi Yu, that's enough."
"I feel like society has abandoned me. It's okay for me to be with you guys, but how am I supposed to communicate directly with her when Wang Xin comes?"
"I'll force her to learn Chinese, because it's already too difficult for you to learn."
"And my mom," I didn't forget to add.
I seem to have a special connection with Wang Rui, or maybe it's because she's a cheerful person. We've been able to chat since the first time we met, and she always shows a friendly side, which can also drive my temperament. Otherwise, how could a wild child like me integrate into their family?
"I'm not going to the company today," Wang Rui said while eating.
"Playing truant?"
"After eating, I'm going for a beauty treatment. Do you want to go?"
I touched my face and said, "My skin is pretty smooth."
"Go and enjoy yourself. I have a card, get a full body massage."
"That sounds good, stretch out my muscles."
I feel particularly relaxed every time I'm with Wang Rui. We're not siblings, but we're closer than siblings. After I finished the food on my plate, I gently pushed away the bowl and chopsticks, and my eyes looked out the window again. I pointed to the houses on both sides of the Qiantang River and said, "If I had money, I'd buy a house here as a wedding room. I like the environment here."
"That's easy, just discuss it with Mom."
"No, I have to do it through my own efforts."
"Ambitious, but no strength, that's what people are talking about when they describe someone like you."
"Didn't you see how anxious she was when I said I was going to sell the restaurant?"
"That's a kind of sentiment for the restaurant. She originally hoped that you would inherit it, but she didn't expect you to run away."
"It's my honor that Pei Shi Yu's dad took a liking to me. I can also learn a lot by being by his side."
"Mom was also complaining at home last night, saying that you're unreliable."
"If I'm unreliable, then I'm unreliable. I'll make her look at me with new eyes."
"Let's go, there's no point in saying more. We have to take practical action."
After Wang Rui finished speaking, she stood up, pointed in one direction and said, "Go and pay the bill."
I was just about to get up when Pei Shi Yu called again. I answered immediately, "Hello!"
"Have you finished eating?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"What are you doing this afternoon?" Pei Shi Yu asked.
"Wang Rui skipped work this afternoon, we're going to a beauty salon together."
"You're going too?"
"I'm going for a massage, I'm free anyway."
"You gave up the restaurant so easily?"
"I've already told your dad, so I won't go."
"Then come directly to the company."
"I have an appointment with Wang Rui this afternoon."
I didn't know what the purpose of Pei Shi Yu's call was. She kept saying some unimportant things. Judging from the call just now, she still has a certain appreciation for Wang Rui, otherwise she wouldn't have said to let Wang Rui take care of it.
"I didn't drink at noon," I guessed her thoughts and said again.
"It's best if you're drunk."
"Don't always think of us as drunks. I just get along with her, I'll hang up first if there's nothing else," I replied, avoiding Wang Rui.
"Have you booked a place?"
"I'll book it now."
I was deliberately avoiding Wang Rui, but Wang Rui seemed to have heard what I said, and came up and asked, "Is Pei Shi Yu unwilling to let you stay with me?"
"She didn't say that, she just asked me if I had been drinking."
"What's wrong with drinking? She'll just make a fuss about drinking."
"We'll be married, so you'll be my sister-in-law. Set an example, why fuss over small things? Besides, you're a generous woman."
"Don't protect Pei Shi Yu in this way, it's very annoying."
After Wang Rui finished speaking, she walked towards the service desk. We didn't order many dishes today. I counted the menu and there were only five dishes and one soup in total, and the price was within my acceptable range.
I slowly followed her, and heard that Wang Rui had already decided to book a place on her own. Obviously, she was quite familiar with this place. I paid the bill directly, and at the same time, Wang Rui had already taken care of everything. From this point of view, she still has a certain ability to execute, which is one of the reasons why I like to be with her.
