I'm pretending to be a fairy in kindergarten

Hualan Restaurant is a high-end dining spot near the city center, known for its expensive food, luxurious decor, and long waiting times.

It is said that all the dishes are freshly air-shipped from all over the world.

The seventh floor of the restaurant is the best-located and most expensive part of the entire restaurant. It is said that diners on this floor can see the most prosperous scene of the city at night through the floor-to-ceiling windows, which attracts many wealthy people.

This is how the driver introduced the restaurant to Lin Zhengran on his way there.

After getting off the car, the shop assistants in work uniforms who were standing at the door quickly came over to greet me, even though most of the restaurant owners here have drivers.

However, it's not uncommon for wealthy people to arrive by taxi or even bicycle to eat.

No one dared to ask, and they were dismissive without even inquiring: "Hello sir, are you here for a meal? Do you have a reservation?"

Lin Zhengran hummed in agreement: "I'm here to eat. My surname is Lin."

"Mr. Lin! Please come with me!" Upon hearing his surname, the shop assistant led Lin Zhengran to the elevator. As they entered, Lin Zhengran saw a staff member press the button for the seventh floor and immediately understood that Jiang Qian had likely spent a considerable amount of money today, confirming what the driver had said:

"Excuse me, is it true that the taxi driver told me that you have to make a reservation at least three days in advance to eat here?"

"Yes, that's right. Our restaurant has been open for over ten years and thanks to the support of the owners, business is good. We have a lot of customers, so reservations are required."

Lin Zhengran had told Jiang Qian about dinner tonight this morning; she simply didn't have time to make a reservation.
"What if I want to skip the reservation?"

The clerk smiled and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. We've never had such a rule. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome if we made an exception. However, if the person who made the reservation that day has something to do and can't come, the owners can negotiate a replacement themselves."

"I see, I understand."

Upon reaching the seventh floor, the elevator doors opened, and staff led Lin Zhengran to a large private room in the very center.

He gestured for them to come in, saying, "Please come in."

There was a pretty waitress bowing slightly next to the entrance of the private room; you could see her at the entrance of every single private room.

Similar to a customized service with one waiter per private room.

"Hello sir, I am the waiter for this private room. I will be waiting at the door. Please feel free to call me anytime if you need anything while you are dining or waiting for your meal."

Lin Zhengran slowly reached out and pushed open the door to the private room, and the spacious, bright and luxurious room came into view.

The private room was decorated similarly to the main hall, with many artworks and paintings, and some flowers placed nearby.

Although it's a place to eat, the main dining table isn't as large as the decorations, but because of its clever design, it doesn't feel overwhelming and makes people feel comfortable.

One wall of the private room is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, from which you can truly overlook the entire city.

Beside the floor-to-ceiling window, Jiang Qian, dressed in a black evening gown, stood elegantly.

Her dress tonight wasn't glamorous; it was a fitted and simple style for an evening gown. But this simple design made her look noble and beautiful against Jiang Qian's cold face, perfectly highlighting the girl's figure and appearance.

Her young, delicate profile was fixed on the view outside the window. When she turned around at the sound, her cool eyes looked at Lin Zhengran, who was standing at the door.

"You've come," she said calmly.

Lin Zhengran had expected Jiang Qian to dress up tonight, but she was still surprised that she was dressed so formally.

As I approached, the staff closed the door to the private room.

Lin Zhengran, dressed casually, said, "I specially changed my clothes here. I should have worn a suit instead."

Jiang Qian turned around, her high heels clicking softly. "You look great in this. There's no need for a suit. It's just a casual meal." Lin Zhengran looked Jiang Qian up and down and laughed. "I can't believe this is just a casual meal. You even changed into an evening gown."

Jiang Qian remained expressionless: "After all, I still want to show my most beautiful side in front of you, so as to leave a good impression." She walked to the dining table: "Sit down and let's talk."

Lin Zhengran nodded and praised, "But you really do look beautiful today."

Jiang Qian paused, her hands gripping the chair, her cheeks slightly flushed: "Thank you... Just hearing your words makes my outfit tonight worthwhile."

Lin Zhengran smiled and sat down with Jiang Qian.

Before sitting down, Lin Zhengran asked curiously, "You look quite good in high heels. Do you wear them often?"

Jiang Qian stared at Lin Zhengran: "He doesn't wear much, but he sometimes wears it when he attends important occasions with his sister."

"I see. I must say, as expected of you, your appearance and posture are almost perfect. You look completely different in this outfit compared to when you were at school."

"My sister is the same. After our parents started their business, in order not to bring shame to the family, my sister and I have learned a lot of etiquette over the years, and we have gradually gotten used to it."

"That must be really tough, but Jing Shi does go to the company just like you do."

Jiang Qian noticed the four different bracelets on Lin Zhengran's wrist.

Especially the older sister's, which was actually made from the clasp strap of a bra...
Jiang Qian frowned slightly, almost as if warning herself, but there was no need to pay attention.

In the past twenty years, she has never lost to anyone except Lin Zhengran, especially her older sister.

"Let's eat," she said.

"it is good."

I called the waiter, and soon the dishes began to be served one by one.

There was also red wine. Lin Zhengran smiled as he looked at the wine the staff poured for him and clinked glasses with Jiang Qian.

The dinner was very quiet tonight. Jiang Qian didn't say much throughout, as her personality wouldn't allow her to talk much.

Lin Zhengran didn't say much either; he just wanted to quietly savor such delicious food.

It wasn't until almost the end of the meal that Jiang Qian swallowed her food and brought up a very unexpected topic:
"Lin Zhengran, recently a new company in Yongquan City near us has been making a name for itself. It's called Xiyao Entertainment and does a similar business to ours. It cleverly combines the characteristics of Jiang's Group and Zhengshi Company to form a unique self-produced line. I originally thought it was just copying others, but I didn't expect them to make such a big splash and be so capable."

She looked up and said, "Although we haven't reached half the level of either of our families yet, the level of development is terrifying and cannot be ignored."

Lin Zhengran knew that Jiang Qian wouldn't bring up this kind of thing for no reason.

"Go on."

Jiang Qian put down her cutlery:
"The current vice president of this company, the one who has shown up, is named Zhang Yang, but for some reason my people can't find any information about him. They only know that he is a man in his late twenties. I have a bad feeling about this. You and your sister need to be careful lately."

Lin Zhengran smiled and nodded, keeping it in mind: "I understand. But you said the vice president is Zhang Yang, so what about the owner of this company?"

"I don't know. All I found out is that she's a woman, but like Zhang Yang, I can't find any specific information about her. But it's said that she can do everything. In the early days of Chaoxi Entertainment, she single-handedly trained a large number of elite middle managers. She's good at everything, including live streaming, sports, and music."

Upon hearing these three keywords, Lin Zhengran took another bite of food: "That's exactly what Zhengshi Company does. Is the other company hostile towards us?"

"No, not at all. Although we do the same things, I don't know why she always avoids us, as if she's deliberately trying to avoid conflict. That's what I find strange and have a bad feeling about, and that's why I'm only realizing it now." (End of Chapter)
