Middle-aged tycoon: Twins come knocking on his door when he goes home for Chinese New Year

Time flew by and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

This is the time when a restaurant is preparing to open for business.

The waiters were busy making final preparations.

Li Ze decided to eat dinner here since he didn't plan to go home for dinner tonight.

However, on the other hand, he doesn't feel hungry at all right now.

So he remained seated in that pleasant spot and continued drinking his tea.

He thought to himself that he would get hungry eventually, by the time it was dinnertime anyway.

Just sitting here and being able to watch Zhang Ruoran work is actually a pretty good feeling.

Just then, a waiter greeted us loudly from the restaurant entrance: "Welcome!"

Upon hearing the sound, Li Ze naturally turned his head to look.

He spotted a white figure entering the restaurant.

Li Ze took a closer look and immediately recognized the person.

"Bai Qianyue...?"

The woman dressed in white was Bai Qianyue, whom I had just met this morning.

After Bai Qianyue walked in, she glanced at Li Ze.

But she didn't say anything, and her face remained expressionless.

Then, led by the waiter, Bai Qianyue first walked to a table next to Li Ze and sat down.

After sitting down, she also ordered a cup of tea from the waiter.

What Li Ze found strange was that after Bai Qianyue sat down, she acted as if she didn't recognize him at all.

She sat there quietly, looking ahead, silently drinking her tea.

Looking at her profile, Li Ze thought helplessly to himself:

"What's wrong with this woman? I'm just having tea here waiting for my wife to get off work, and she has to come all the way here?"

On the other side of the restaurant.

Zhang Ruoran, along with Wang Cong and Wang Yumo, completed the inspection of all the necessary areas in the restaurant.

Wang Cong really did the restaurant a big favor today.

Wang Cong meticulously identified many details that the new store manager, Wang Yumo, had overlooked.

For example, he pointed out the placement of the tables and chairs, and the cleanliness of the tableware.

Moreover, Wang Cong personally took care of all these minor issues.

Zhang Ruoran looked at the finished area and said to Wang Cong:

"Manager Wang Cong, thank you so much for your help today. If you hadn't been here, we really wouldn't have been able to spot so many small oversights. When the management comes to inspect, we'll definitely lose points."

Wang Cong was overjoyed to hear Zhang Ruoran's thanks.

He smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Haha, you're too kind. We're all colleagues, it's only natural to help each other out. It's just what I should do, don't take it to heart."

Wang Cong was extremely pleased with himself at that moment.

After all, he had really helped a lot this time, and he felt that his impression on Zhang Ruoran would definitely improve.

This will definitely be of great benefit to him in pursuing Zhang Ruoran later.

The new store manager, Wang Yumo, stood beside her and said with great gratitude:

"It's thanks to the two of you that I realized there were many things I hadn't noticed in the first two days I was at the store, and my work wasn't detailed enough."

Zhang Ruoran turned to comfort Wang Yumo and said:

"That's normal. After all, you've only been here a short time and aren't familiar with the environment or the guests yet. You'll get used to it gradually."

After saying that, the three of them returned to the front desk together and began to arrange the work for the next night shift.

Just as I was standing at the front desk arranging work.

Zhang Ruoran looked up and scanned the hall, immediately noticing the white figure sitting at the table next to Li Ze.

That person was Bai Qianyue.

Zhang Ruoran's brows immediately furrowed.

She glanced at Li Ze again and found that he was sitting there quietly drinking tea, not talking to Bai Qianyue, and not even turning his head.

Zhang Ruoran relaxed a little and then stopped looking over there.

She lowered her head and continued to arrange the evening's reception work with her employees.

After all the work was assigned, the employees went about their tasks.

Wang Cong walked up to Zhang Ruoran, looked at her, and said to her in a very warm tone:

"If you're free tonight, how about the three of us, including Manager Wang Yumo, go out for some barbecue and drinks?"

Zhang Ruoran was somewhat surprised to hear this suggestion.

She looked at Wang Cong and asked:

"Oh? What brings you to suddenly want to have a drink with us today?"

Everyone is usually very busy with work, and after get off work they usually go home to rest, so they rarely get together to drink.

Wang Cong scratched his head, smiled, and explained:

"Haha, it's just that the pressure from headquarters has been a bit high lately. Everyone's watching the performance closely every day, and everyone's really on edge."

"So I thought the three of us store managers would go out for a few drinks to relax. We could also use this opportunity to discuss solutions to problems we might encounter at work in the future, and exchange experiences."

After listening to Wang Cong's explanation, Zhang Ruoran nodded.

She felt that Wang Cong's words made sense. The pressure from headquarters had indeed been quite high recently, and the exchange of work among the three store managers was also beneficial to the restaurant's performance.

So Zhang Ruoran agreed:

"Hmm, you have a point. Okay, let's deal with the bosses tonight, and then go out for barbecue after the inspection is over."

Wang Cong was overjoyed to hear Zhang Ruoran agree.

He immediately nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll contact the barbecue restaurant now and make a reservation in advance, so we don't miss out on good spots later."

After saying that, Wang Cong happily went to the side to make a phone call.

Wang Cong took his phone and walked outside the restaurant.

He found a secluded corner and dialed the number of the barbecue restaurant owner.

"Old Chen, save me a good spot. I'm bringing two friends over tonight, and I want the best food."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Cong was very happy.

He felt that today's move was absolutely right.

I invited Zhang Ruoran out under the pretext of discussing work.

Although Wang Yumo was present, this was still a great opportunity.

He believed that with more contact and conversation, he could eventually win over Zhang Ruoran.

After Wang Cong left, Zhang Ruoran was the only one left at the front desk.

She raised her head and looked at Bai Qianyue sitting in the hall again.

Although she had been arguing with Li Ze outside, loudly proclaiming that she was going to quit and not disturb Li Ze and Bai Qianyue.

However, now we see that Bai Qianyue not only opened a coffee shop, but also went directly to her restaurant and sat next to Li Ze.

Zhang Ruoran suddenly felt very uncomfortable again.

Although she said she didn't care, she actually cared a lot.

This is the restaurant where she works, and she feels that this is her place, and no one should come and cause trouble.

Moreover, she was a woman who explicitly stated that she wanted to steal her ex-husband.

Zhang Ruoran bit her lip; she didn't intend to just stand there and watch.

She is the store manager, so she should take the initiative to go and check on the situation.

So she picked up a menu from the front desk and took a step towards the table where Bai Qianyue was sitting.

She walked quickly and went straight to Bai Qianyue.

Zhang Ruoran looked at Bai Qianyue, who was wearing a veil, and spoke in a very direct tone.

She began to speak:

"Oh, isn't this Ms. Bai from next door?"

"What would you like to eat tonight? Or... are you just here to sit for a bit and then leave?"
