If I leave, there will be no chance or reason to see him again.
"I don’t need a reason to fire someone." Huo Jincheng glanced coldly at Zhou Jia Ren, "If you must have a reason, it’s because you didn’t respect Zhi Zhi and made her unhappy. When she’s unhappy, I’m unhappy. Is that reason enough for you? You liking me is your business, but you’re interfering with our relationship."
"I..." Zhou Jia Ren didn’t expect Huo Jincheng to admit so directly to his feelings for Lu Xingzhi. Her mood instantly dropped a lot.
"You have seven minutes. After seven minutes, I don’t want you still in Xingzhi Pavilion." Huo Jincheng said, then directly took Lu Xingzhi’s hand and sat down at the dining table.
Lu Xingzhi was no longer upset; looking at the scenery outside, she said excitedly, "There’s such a big bamboo grove out there! So in winter and spring, there must be bamboo shoots available. If we can’t finish them, we can dry them; dried bamboo shoots with bacon are also delicious. Sour bamboo shoot stir-fried with meat is also quite a treat."
In the eyes of a foodie, it seems there’s nothing that can’t be eaten. The rıghtful source is n0velfire.net
"When winter comes, we’ll dig up bamboo shoots." Seeing no unhappy expression on Lu Xingzhi’s face, Huo Jincheng felt at ease.
"Sure!" Lu Xingzhi nodded contentedly.
Thinking about the name of the restaurant just now, Lu Xingzhi looked at Huo Jincheng and asked, "Uncle, is this restaurant newly opened?"
"Not quite new. It was originally an inn, but it wasn’t managed well. I took it over and renovated it." Huo Jincheng poured Lu Xingzhi a cup of tea, "Zhi Zhi, you’ve probably guessed, it’s my gift to you."
"Then I won’t refuse." Lu Xingzhi originally wanted to say it was unnecessary since she didn’t know how to run a business.
But, seeing the intense look in Huo Jincheng’s eyes, she didn’t refuse.
Anyway, in the future, they would be one family. So it didn’t matter.
"The name here is already registered to you. So, Zhi Zhi, you’re the owner now," Huo Jincheng joked.
"I won’t refuse, but you should manage it as you see fit!" Lu Xingzhi thought she might as well just have her name on it.
"Alright. When the time comes, all the earnings will be deposited into your account," Huo Jincheng said.
"Then isn’t this kind of similar to Brother Shihuai’s farm?" Lu Xingzhi was a bit worried that Qin Shihuai wouldn’t have an issue with Huo Jincheng.
"It’s still different, more targeted. There will be VIP cards and a membership system in place. The clientele will be different, and for now, it’s only dining and lodging. Gradually, it will expand." Huo Jincheng had ambitiously bought the entire area.
"Alright!" Lu Xingzhi understood, and anyway, she didn’t want to manage it.
It’s all Huo Jincheng’s business.
Soon, a waiter brought the dishes, starting with a pot of country chicken and a pot of fish soup; Huo Jincheng served Lu Xingzhi a bowl of fish soup.
He said to her, "The chicken is raised at Shi Huai’s farm, and the fish is from the pond here. It tastes very fresh and tender, you should try it."
"Mm." Lu Xingzhi couldn’t wait any longer, took a sip of the soup, and praised, "It’s so good! Really fresh and sweet, it’s fantastic."
Next, a few more dishes were served one after another, and Lu Xingzhi looked at the table full of food and said, "The two of us can’t finish so much; it’s too wasteful."
