As Lu Yang finished speaking...

Li Xixue slammed on the brakes.

The car suddenly lurched forward.

Lu Yang was suddenly jolted by the seatbelt, completely bewildered.

What are you doing?

He was also bewildered by the sudden and surprising driving skills.

Li Xixue took a deep breath, placed her hands on the steering wheel, and looked ahead.

Two seconds passed.

She spoke.

Why should I see them?

Lu Yang rubbed his chest, which ached from being constricted, and said, "Didn't you say you were going to supervise the construction?"

"Who said we needed to supervise the construction?"

"You."

"The supervisor I was referring to... was you."

Li Xixue thought for a moment and said very seriously.

After all, the main reason I came out today was because I was worried about Lu Yang. What if he got a fever again? Would he even be able to sleep tonight?

"..."

Lu Yang blinked.

Ok.

Li Xixue tapped her finger twice on the steering wheel: "Is this how you usually talk to them?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Sending messages so frequently."

Lu Yang finally figured it out.

The woman wasn't unwilling to go; she was just being reluctant.

She even said she wasn't jealous.

"We usually talk about work, okay?"

"real?"

"otherwise?"

"..."

Li Xixue glared at him, then stepped on the gas again.

The car started moving.

A few more seconds passed.

"What do they look like?"

Lu Yang almost burst out laughing.

But he held back.

"Anyway, she's definitely not as pretty as my wife."

……

Shop entrances on the pedestrian street.

When Xia Ning arrived, Lu Yang had not yet come.

She stood in front of the empty shop, pacing back and forth, her eyes occasionally darting forward on tiptoe, just like Sun Wukong.

Xia Qing leaned against the wall next to her, her hands in her pockets.

"Could you please stop spinning?"

"I'm nervous!"

Why are you so nervous?

"Hey, it's the boss lady!"

Xia Ning clutched the hem of her clothes, looking impatient.

"What should I say if she asks me how my sales are going? What if she thinks I'm not qualified to be a store manager? Will she suddenly fire me?"

Xia Qing rolled her eyes.

You're overthinking it.

"I don't!"

Xia Ning stamped her foot anxiously and said, "What kind of person do you think the boss's wife will be? Gentle? Domineering? Or the kind of particularly shrewd and capable woman?"

Xia Qing thought for a moment.

Although she didn't say it, she was actually quite curious.

"I guess it's similar to the boss."

"About the same as the boss?"

Xia Ning tilted her head: "Isn't that just a big mouth?"

After saying that, she quickly covered her mouth to correct herself: "Oh no, I mean 'unique'! Yes, unique!"

Just then.

A pink Panamera drove towards us.

The moment Xia Ning saw the car, she was stunned.

This pink and adorable exterior is so pretty and cute...

Then the car stopped.

The driver's side door opens.

A fair, white leg landed first.

Then there was the hem of a black slip dress.

And then—

Li Xixue slowly got out of the car.

Xia Ning froze as she watched the woman get out of the driver's seat.

Her features were so exquisite they didn't look real, her hair was a kind of lazy, big wave, and her body proportions were outrageous.

Pretty.

beautiful!

The first thought that popped into Xia Ning's mind was...

Could this be a celebrity?

The second thought was...

No, celebrities don't have that kind of charisma.

She turned her head and glanced at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing couldn't help but glance at the other person a couple more times.

Her thoughts were the same as Xia Ning's.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yang also got out of the passenger seat and saw Xia Ning.

"Boss!"

Xia Ning quickly looked away and waved to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang walked over, with Li Xixue beside him, their pace neither fast nor slow.

Xia Ning jogged a few steps to meet him, and then her gaze drifted to the woman next to Lu Yang.

A closer look.

It's even more beautiful now.

That kind of beauty isn't achieved through makeup; it comes from her naturally exquisite features.

But he has a cold look in his eyes when he looks at people.

at this time.

Xia Ning had only one thought in her mind.

It’s over.

The proprietress seems a bit difficult to get along with.

She quickly stood up straight: "Boss... okay, Boss lady... okay too."

Her voice was much softer than usual.

Li Xixue's gaze fell on Xia Ning.

The girl in front of me was not tall, had a round face, wore a rabbit hair clip, and was dressed in a light blue short-sleeved shirt and pleated skirt.

They're quite cute.

Lu Yang introduced from the side: "This is Xia Ning, the one I told you about, in charge of operations and design."

Xia Ning nodded quickly, smiling somewhat awkwardly, "Hello, boss lady! I'm Xia Ning! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Li Xixue hummed in response, her expression remaining unchanged.

Xia Ning became nervous again.

It's over. It's over.

The proprietress looks so aloof.

She glanced at Lu Yang furtively, her eyes seeming to say: Boss, is the boss's wife unhappy?

Lu Yang gave her a wink, meaning not to be nervous.

Xia Ning took a deep breath.

At this moment, Xia Qing also came over.

She glanced at Li Xixue and nodded naturally.

Li Xixue nodded as well.

Although the two did not speak, their personalities seemed somewhat similar; neither of them seemed to like talking.

Four people stood at the door of the berth.

There was a moment of awkwardness in the atmosphere.

Xia Ning clutched the design proposal in her hand, unsure whether she should report on her work first or try to get closer to the boss's wife.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Lu Yang pushed open the door to his berth.

The shop was empty and hadn't been renovated yet. The floor was cement, and old posters left by previous tenants were still pasted on the walls.

Xia Ning immediately got into the zone, holding up the blueprint in her hand:

"Boss, look, this is the proposal I made..."

She gestured with her hands as she spoke.

Lu Yang nodded and listened.

When this girl talks about her work, her eyes light up.

She unfolded the blueprints in her hand and pointed to certain areas with her finger.

"Boss, look, this is the cashier area, this is the production area, and this is the rest area."

"I used the brand's main color scheme for the overall color scheme, but added some gradients in the details so that it wouldn't look too monotonous."

"And the height of this bar counter, I specifically measured it, it's just the right angle for customers to place their orders..."

Lu Yang listened to the other person's explanation and nodded.

Although this girl seems a bit silly most of the time, she becomes very professional when it comes to serious matters.

After Xia Ning finished explaining the plan, she looked up at Lu Yang.

"Boss, what do you think?"

Lu Yang hummed in agreement, indicating that there was no problem.

"Okay, let's do it this way."

Xia Ning breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Her smile widened even more: "Great! I'll go find the construction team and coordinate with them tomorrow!"

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Li Xixue next to her.

Li Xixue remained silent.

Xia Ning subconsciously tensed up again.

The proprietress still didn't seem to have much of an expression, nor did she say anything.

She glanced at Lu Yang furtively, her eyes asking: Is the landlady dissatisfied?
