A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

Xia Ning stood there, her mouth opening and closing repeatedly.

She wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Finally, all I managed to get out was, "Boss, don't worry, I definitely won't let you down!"

Lu Yang waved his hand: "Alright, stop pledging your loyalty to me. Go back and practice the recipe until you're proficient. We'll start testing it tomorrow."

"receive!"

Xia Ning saluted and then put the list away.

Xia Qing walked over and glanced at her sister's beaming face: "Boss, let me double-check the manpower situation with you."

"explain."

"There are currently three people at the old store: myself and two part-time workers. If I am transferred back to the old store after the new store opens, Xia Ning will need at least two to three full-time workers."

Lu Yang thought for a moment and nodded:

"You're in charge of hiring, you set the standards, I only care about the results."

Xia Qing nodded and said nothing more.

The three of them walked around the shop again.

Xia Ning took a bunch of photos with her phone, muttering to herself about how to design it next.

Lu Yang checked the time; it was getting late.

"Alright, that's enough for today."

Xia Ning said "oh" and put her phone away.

The three of them walked out of the shop.

"Boss."

"Um?"

"Boss lady... will you really come again next time?"

Lu Yang glanced at Xia Ning.

The girl looked very serious when she asked that question.

"Whether she comes or not depends on her mood." Lu Yang thought for a moment, then added, "But if she said she could come if she had time, then she will come."

Xia Ning chuckled and remained silent.

"Are you hungry?" Lu Yang suddenly asked.

Xia Ning was about to say she wasn't hungry.

My stomach answered first.

Glug glug.

Xia Ning quickly covered her stomach, her face turning slightly red.

"A little bit..."

Xia Qing didn't speak, but she didn't deny it either.

Lu Yang glanced at the restaurants on both sides of the pedestrian street.

There are plenty of restaurants on this street, including hot pot, barbecue, and Japanese food.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to a good meal."

Xia Ning's eyes immediately lit up.

"real?!"

"Otherwise what? You've been running around with me all day, I can't let you go hungry," Lu Yang said.

Upon hearing this, Xia Ning began looking around, searching for a restaurant she wanted to eat at.

She's been so busy with the shop these past few days that she hasn't had a proper meal.

"What would you like to eat?"

"Is barbecue okay?"

Xia Ning pointed to a nicely decorated barbecue restaurant across the street.

Lu Yang looked up.

"Okay, that one."

"yeah!"

The three of them crossed the road and entered the barbecue restaurant.

It's not peak mealtime yet, so there aren't many people in the restaurant.

The first thing Xia Ning did after sitting down was to open the menu.

Lu Yang pushed the menu towards her and said she could order whatever she wanted.

After all, I'm a big boss now.

Xia Ning was thrilled when she heard that she could order anything.

She rubbed her hands together, radiating the joy of finally seeing food.

Soon, the meat arrived.

After the meat is grilled.

Xia Ning dipped the sauce directly into her mouth and stuffed it all in.

Well--

Her lips bulged out, and she chewed very quickly.

This girl eats like a hamster hoarding food, as if she's afraid the meat will fly away at any moment.

In contrast, Xia Qing.

The movements were clean and unhurried.

We finished dinner around 7 p.m.

Lu Yang and Xia Ning parted ways at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant.

Lu Yang called a car to go back.

We've secured the berth.

A year's rent was waived, and the water and electricity renovation was also included.

The renovation plan is ready.

At this pace, it should be able to officially open for business very soon.

at this time.

Li Xixue sent a message.

Where are we?

Lu Yang replied: [On my way, almost there.]

Li Xixue: [What do you want to eat for dinner?]

Lu Yang stared at the message on the screen, his finger pausing.

What should we have for dinner?

He looked down at his stomach.

At the barbecue restaurant earlier, Xia Ning ordered a whole table full of food, and he didn't hold back and ate quite a bit.

My stomach is so full right now.

Lu Yang hesitated for two seconds before replying: 【What do you want to eat?】

Li Xixue didn't reply for a while.

I did it.

Lu Yang stared at those three words.

Did she do it?

What did you do?

Li Xixue added another message: 【Come back quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold.】

Lu Yang's finger hovered above the screen.

It’s over.

He had just finished a barbecue, and now Li Xixue had cooked dinner at home and was waiting for him.

If we were to tell the truth...

Lu Yang ran through the scene in his mind.

Li Xixue studied the recipe book for an entire afternoon and finally managed to cook a table full of dishes, only to go back and say: I've already eaten.

have to.

I'll probably be sleeping in the living room tonight.

After all, if you don't eat the meal a woman has carefully prepared, something bad is bound to happen. Don't ask why.

Lu Yang swallowed hard and replied: 【Coming soon.】

Twenty minutes later.

Lu Yang stood at the door, took a deep breath, and rubbed his stomach.

Yes, it's possible.

Just pretend you never ate it.

It's a small matter if I get too full, but it's a big deal if I get beaten up.

Push open the door.

A smell of food wafted over.

Hmm, it doesn't smell like burnt stuff, and there's no biological bomb involved.

Lu Yang changed his shoes and walked towards the kitchen.

Then he saw Li Xixue.

She stood between the kitchen and the dining room, wearing a beige apron.

The apron straps were tied into a neat bow at the back of her waist, and the hem of the skirt just reached her knees.

She wore a light gray knit sweater underneath, with the sleeves rolled up to her forearms, and her hair was loosely tied back with a hair tie, revealing her slender neck.

A few stray hairs fell down from her ears.

Judging from her posture, she looks like a wife waiting for her husband to come home for dinner.

But her face was so striking that it created a strong contrast when paired with the apron.

Li Xixue looked up at him and said softly.

"handwashing."

Lu Yang said "oh" and obediently went to wash his hands.

After returning.

Three dishes and a soup were already laid out on the table.

Lu Yang glanced at it.

Braised pork ribs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a pot of seaweed and egg drop soup.

Overall appearance...

To be honest, it's much better than last time.

The ribs were a normal dark reddish-brown color, not burnt.

Although the eggs in the scrambled eggs with tomatoes were a bit broken, at least the color was right.

There shouldn't be any eggshell.

probably.

Lu Yang looked at the dishes on the table and rubbed his stomach.

"eat."

Li Xixue had already sat down, chopsticks were set out, and bowls were filled with rice.

Two bowls.

One bowl was hers, and one bowl was Lu Yang's.

Lu Yang's bowl was overflowing.

He glanced at the bowl of rice and his throat moved.

sit down.

Pick up your chopsticks.

Li Xixue didn't touch her chopsticks, just looked at him.

"Try it first."

She said this in a very indifferent tone.

Lu Yang picked up a piece of spare rib and put it in his mouth.

I chewed it twice.

taste.

Ok?

good?

It's really good.

It wasn't overcooked.

I didn't add too much salt.

He looked up and glanced at Li Xixue, surprised by how quickly she had progressed.

Li Xixue rubbed the hem of her skirt with her fingers, but on the surface she pretended to be very calm.

"How is it?"

"tasty."

Li Xixue stopped.

"real?"

"real."

Lu Yang picked up another piece of pork rib: "It's a thousand times better than last time!"
