“There are ten restaurants in Xia City, all ready for opening.” Nian Junting smiled. “That’s a surprise for Luo. She loves beef noodles the most. I’m letting you know in advance, in case you decide to spread the news.”

The corner of Xiao Si’s mouth twitched. “Ugh... I think Sangsang not only likes beef noodles but also everything else.” He found out a little about that during their journey in Shanghai.

“Would she tell you what her favorite food is? You can’t know her better than I do,” Nian Junting said, then turned and left.

Xiao Si paused for a moment, then remembered what Nian Junting had said just now... Ten percent discount...

D*mn, we grew up together, even shared pants, but he’s only going to give me a ten percent discount? What kind of person is he?

...

In the office, Lu Kang came in with a file for Nian Junting to sign.

“I’ll bring Luosang to Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant for dinner tonight. Let the restaurant manager know,” said Nian Junting.

“Sure.” Lu Kang nodded.

“You’ve made a good business plan for the Luo Ting chain restaurants.” He nodded and continued approvingly, “Time flies. It’s the end of another year. I feel that many things happened this year. The most important one is that I’m no longer single. Your proposal plan was lame, and it made me lose a diamond ring that was worth over a hundred million. But overall, it wasn’t bad. You’ll get a pay raise.”

After hearing his last sentence, Lu Kang finally straightened his quivering legs. He really wanted to say, The proposal plan was fine. You lost the ring yourself, and that had nothing to do with me. “Thank you, Mr. Nian.”

Nian Junting let out a long breath and said, “The night after tomorrow, at the award party, everyone’s bonus will be doubled. After all, this year is special.”

“On behalf of all employees, thank you, Mr. Nian.” Lu Kang hurriedly nodded. Yes, yes, we know, we should all celebrate together, as this year is the year you finally have a girlfriend, he thought.

“Another thing. Make an hour for me this afternoon. I’m going to buy a ring,” said Nian Junting.

Lu Kang almost cried. “Mr. Nian, you’ve taken a rather long vacation. It’s already amazing that you don’t have to work overtime now. How can I possibly free up an hour in your schedule?”

“You think I want this? I lost the ring last time, and last night, Sangsang got jealous. I have to buy a new ring to make her happy. But Xia City is a small city. Normal jewelry stores in this city don’t have 19-karat diamond rings in stock.” Nian Junting sighed.

Lu Kang wanted to die. Watching Mr. Nian maintaining his relationship made him feel hopelessly poor.

...

In the afternoon, Luosang finished lunch and rested for a while. After that, Nian Xi drove over to pick her up. Nian Xi apologized once she saw Luosang. “Sangsang, I’m really sorry about last night. I honestly didn’t know that Ji Chuan invited Shuangwei.”

“It’s okay.” Luosang smiled, recalling what Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng had said. Nian Xi is close with me now, but after she and Ji Chuan get married, the Feng family will probably try to keep her away from me, she thought. Even if she refuses, she might still fall into a difficult situation.

“Sangsang, what’s wrong? You’re being weird. Have you been... having thoughts since you met Shuangwei?” Nian Xi asked hesitantly. “My brother is a freak, but he won’t do things that he shouldn’t be doing. He’s a very responsible person.”

“I know. I was just surprised to see Leng Shuangwei yesterday.” Luosang smiled.

“Me, too.” Nian Xi sighed. “I complained to Ji Chuan yesterday. I was really quite mad. I don’t know why, but yesterday, I felt a gap between him and me for the very first time. Actually, I don’t know him as well as I thought I did.”

“Don’t let me affect your relationship.” Luosang felt a little guilty. “It’s understandable. After all, Ji Chuan and I aren’t familiar with each other.”
