The village beauty and me!

Qiao Lingling stared blankly, stunned.

Her hands were still in the position of tying her hair up.

Although she is slim and doesn't have a particularly large bust.

But when she stands there, her slender waist perfectly connects the curves of her entire body into one.

She exuded a unique charm that women of this age possess.

The fat man stood to the side, dumbfounded, almost drooling.

"Xiaozhu, come here and pinch me. Why do I feel like I'm still half asleep?" Qiao Lingling frowned.

"Sister Ling, you're not dreaming." Xia Xiaozhu covered her mouth and laughed.

"So I must have misheard?"

"What does Jinhao Restaurant have to do with us?" Qiao Lingling was still full of questions.

The fat man chimed in, "Didn't the Jinhao Restaurant go bankrupt because of... cough cough, his own mismanagement?"

"Now we're waiting to find someone to take over, but it turns out that the place now belongs to Brother Huan, and the money has already been paid."

Qiao Lingling walked over and placed her hand on Chen Huan's forehead.

Such intimate behavior made Chen Huan feel somewhat uncomfortable.

The fat guy standing next to him was incredibly envious.

"You don't have a fever, so why did you do something so foolish?"

"The Jinhao Restaurant is already infamous."

  

"Ever since that rat incident, everyone says that place is unclean, and people avoid it. How much did you pay to bring it here?" Qiao Lingling stood very close to Chen Huan.

She continued to tie her hair up as if nothing had happened. The unique fragrance of a young woman mixed with the scent of virginity created an atmosphere that easily stirred up fantasies.

This made Chen Huan feel agitated.

Although Qiao Lingling usually acts like a tomboy and has quite a few tattoos, she is actually no less attractive to the opposite sex than other women.

When combined with her unique facial features and slender body curves, this charm was amplified many times over.

If Chen Huan hadn't realized that the fat man liked Qiao Lingling, he probably would have already started having some thoughts about her.

After coughing twice, Chen Huan moved his chair back and replied, "That money was paid by someone else."

"A friend of mine is very wealthy and doesn't care about such a small amount."

"Don't worry about anything else for now. We're here specifically to invite you to cooperate."

"Didn't you always want to open a big restaurant? The location and equipment are all ready, now all you need is manpower."

Qiao Lingling blinked. "Really?"

"You're inviting me to join your team?"

Chen Huan quickly replied, "Of course it's true, Fatty thinks so too."

Qiao Lingling didn't even turn her head. "What he thinks isn't important. I'm curious why you invited me."

"Could it be that they've taken a liking to my grandfather's cooking skills?"

"You've got a pretty good plan, haven't you?"

"Are you planning to get rid of this young guy like me, and then drag the old guy down with you?"

After saying that, Qiao Lingling approached Chen Huan again.

One was standing and the other was sitting, standing too close together; their posture was undeniably ambiguous.

Perhaps Qiao Lingling herself didn't have any particular thoughts; she simply wanted to put some psychological pressure on Chen Huan.

But to outsiders, it looked just like an intimate interaction between a young couple.

"Xiaozhu, let's go buy ice cream."

"I can't stay here for even a second longer." The fat man pulled Xia Xiaozhu out the door.

"Hey...you two, don't go." Chen Huan was speechless for a moment.

He wanted to speak up to stop her, but the next second Qiao Lingling sat directly on his lap, her slender arms draped over his shoulders and wrapped around him.

"What are you doing? It's not good if others see this." Chen Huan became increasingly agitated.

"There's no one else here."

"Why are you acting so coy, you're a grown man? I remember you were quite brave when you fought with people, weren't you?" Qiao Lingling looked at Chen Huan with a grin.

There wasn't much of a flirting intention; it was just that Chen Huan's state was unusual and quite interesting.

Chen Huan swallowed hard. "I'm afraid your old man will see this and then have a problem with me."

Qiao Lingling snorted, "The person my old man admires most right now is you."

"He kept urging me to spend more time with you, hoping I could win you over."

At this point, Qiao Lingling finally showed a hint of shyness typical of young girls.

Chen Huan grinned. "How do I win him over?"

Qiao Lingling giggled, withdrew one hand, and gently pinched Lin Yuan's cheek. "You're clearly an old fox. Why are you pretending to be innocent in front of me?"

"How many young women have come and gone since I met you?"

"Even the rich young ladies in the city are willing to spend millions to take over a run-down restaurant just to get closer to you. You have such great charm."

Chen Huan was annoyed. "Damn, you understand that too?"

He didn't want to stay depressed any longer, so he reached out and slapped Qiao Lingling's butt hard.

Qiao Lingling gasped and practically sprang off Chen Huan's lap.

Clutching his backside, he was furious. "Why did you hit me so hard? I was just joking!"

Chen Huan crossed her legs, took out a cigarette, and lit it. "Can't a girl be a little more gentle and reserved?"

"I can see that Grandpa Qiao has been very worried about you."

"Why haven't I seen anyone today?"

Qiao Lingling pouted and sat on the table next to her, swinging her two slender, long legs.

He said slowly, "You haven't come these past few days either. The old man has nothing to do, so he goes fishing at the reservoir."

Chen Huan scratched his head. "What do you think about what I just told you?"

"I'm genuinely here to recruit you, and I'm truly impressed by the old man's culinary skills. I thought such excellent cooking shouldn't go to waste."

"You're a capable person too, and more importantly, we know each other well and I trust you."

Upon hearing the words "knows everything about me," Qiao Lingling covered her mouth and giggled, clearly misinterpreting the meaning.

"Can you be serious for once? I'm waiting for your reply." Chen Huan rolled her eyes.

Qiao Lingling swung her long legs and said, "I have no problem with that. After all, we're friends. Even if I know that Jinhao Restaurant is a pit of fire, I'm willing to jump in with you."

"But the problem is that my father-in-law is already disheartened after what happened before, and I can't persuade him."

Chen Huan rubbed his chin. "Is that so?"

"I'll discuss with the old man in person which reservoir he fishes at."

Qiao Lingling pointed in a direction.

"I'll be going now, wait for my good news." Chen Huan immediately stood up.

When I arrived at the door, I saw Fatty and Xia Xiaozhu sitting in the shade eating ice cream.

Xia Xiaozhu had a big smile on her face, but the fat man hung his head and couldn't muster any energy.

It's obvious at a glance that he's jealous because of Qiao Lingling.

Thinking back to what had just happened, Chen Huan felt a little sorry for his brother.

He coughed twice and said, "Fatty, I'm going to the reservoir. You and Qiao Lingling go to the next town and check on the current state of the Jinhao Restaurant."

"So that we can be aware of the situation."

Upon hearing this, the fat man immediately perked up, "Don't worry, Brother Huan, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."

"But you haven't gotten your driver's license yet. Are you sure you can drive by yourself?"

Chen Huan waved his hand, "I've already encountered a traffic cop once before, I don't think I'll be that unlucky."

Driving my Rolls-Royce, I had only gone two blocks when I saw a female traffic police officer standing in the middle of the road stopping cars.
