Chapter 116: Thank you formally!

  The beautiful CEO's right-hand man

  Leaning on the street lamp post, Yan Hong looked at the endless stream of cars, and the gentle spring water that once filled her eyes suddenly dried up.

  Her daughter is her everything and she can't even imagine a day without her.

  She wanted to scream, she wanted to wail loudly, she even wanted to tear her clothes to shreds and run wild in the sunlight naked.

  If all this could bring her daughter back before her eyes, she would not have a shred of hesitation.

  "Wenwen, where did you go?"

  Xie Hongyan leaned against the street lamp post, unaware of how long she had been standing there. Just as she was about to slump to the ground, a taxi stopped in front of her not far away.

  The red makeup was still there, but it seemed as if she hadn't noticed, her delicate body slowly sliding down.

  A lifeless body is just a corpse that can no longer stand up again.

  Just as Yan Hongyan was about to collapse to the ground, a strong hand grasped her arm: "Boss lady, what's wrong?"

  Xie Hongyan raised her head dazedly and asked foolishly: "Who are you?"

  That long-faced guy with great potential for being a "small white face" still hasn't spoken, when suddenly he heard the girl's voice calling out: "Mom, mom, what's wrong!"

  Upon hearing this voice, Jie Hongyan suddenly lifted her head as if she had been injected with chicken blood, and saw that her precious daughter was running over.

  "Wenwen!"

  She pushed someone away with one hand, opened her arms and tightly hugged her daughter: "Where did you run to? You're going to scare Mom to death!"

  "Mom, I was just being impulsive for a moment and worried you, sorry."

  Seeing her mother, who used to be so elegant, lose her composure like that, Zhang Wenwen also regretted it and burst into tears: "I'm sorry, mom, I didn't mean to, it's just that I felt too ashamed to face you."

  "Silly child. Don't cry, it's just that you didn't get in, what's the big deal? At most we'll repeat a year or go to vocational school, or if not, then don't attend school at all. You can do whatever you want. Mom won't stop you, but you also can't run away from home. If you leave, what will mom do?"

  Hongyan stroked her daughter's hair, tears streaming down her face.

  Zhang Wenwen was very obedient at this time, just quietly crying and nodding continuously.

  "Alas, it's truly a deep mother-daughter relationship, moving to tears."

  Rubbing her eyes, which were not at all dry, Gaofei whispered beside her: "Boss lady, Wenwen, if you want to cry, can't you go home and cry? There are many people watching here. They didn't even buy tickets..."

  "Huh?"

  She raised her head in surprise and saw that there were over a dozen people standing around her, everyone looking at her with interest.

  "Go, Wenwen. Go home with Mom."

  Hongyan hastily wiped away her tears and quickly pulled her daughter towards home.

  "It's over, everyone has dispersed, what's so good about this, it's been acted out many times on TV."

  Gao Fei waved his hand at those who were watching and slowly walked into the alley.

  He knew that at this time he had to give the mother and daughter some space to talk alone, after their "reunion", they would definitely have a lot to say.

  Squatting on the steps of the studio, Gao Fei smoked a cigarette and felt that it was almost done. He patted his butt and was about to stand up when he found out that he had stepped on a note.

  He picked it up, tilted his head to read it, and muttered in a low voice: "Damn kid, I treated her like this, but she dared to slander me behind my back. Hmph, Confucius was right, 'Women and small men are hard to raise'!"

  But this blow cannot change Gao Fei's determination to conquer Jie Hongyan, and instead feels that it is better for Jie Hongyan to know these things.

  Mr. Gao dislikes hiding and concealing things.

  When Gao Fei pushed open the door and walked into the studio, Hongyan and her mother had stopped crying. The two of them were sitting on the sofa, hugging each other, a very touching scene.

  "Thanks a lot this time, Gao Fei."

  Jie Hongyan already knew it was Gao Fei who brought her daughter back, and she quickly got up to thank him.

  "Hehe, nothing much, just a coincidence."

  Gao Fei smiled and glanced at Zhang Wenwen, casually throwing the note into the wastebasket.

  Zhang Wenwen's heart skipped a beat and she jumped up, saying "I'm going to change clothes", and then ran upstairs.

  Disregarding Hongyan's words, she personally poured a cup of boiling water for Gao Fei and handed it to him: "Gao Fei, I won't say anything extra, let my actions speak instead."

  Mr. Gao's eyes lit up, staring at Jie Hongyan's stunning face: "Hehe, boss lady, don't be so polite, this is what I should do."

  In Gao Fei's eager anticipation, Jie Hongyan said: "I've decided that starting from next month, I won't charge you rent for half a year."

  "Oh, thank you then."

  Gao Fei was very disappointed: "Dude, I thought you were going to make a big sacrifice for me, but it's just this? The rent for half a year is less than 5,000 yuan, who cares?"

  Hongyan smoothed her hair and changed the subject: "Gao Fei, didn't you go to work today? Let's have dinner at home later, I'll cook - no charge."

  "Haha, how embarrassing. Alright, thanks boss lady."

  Gao Fei rubbed his hands together and smiled: "I'm done, from today on I won't be going to work anymore."

  Just as Hongyan was about to turn and go upstairs, she stopped and asked: "Why aren't you going to work? Did you quit or get fired?"

  "Of course I resigned, our boss begged me to stay with tears in his eyes, but I didn't agree."

  Gao Fei started bragging again.

  Hongyan nodded: "Oh, what are you planning to do in the future?"

  "Do some small business on your own."

  Gao Fei said this and suddenly had an idea: "I, a few days ago, bought a lottery ticket, hehe, unexpectedly won a first prize, over 30 million. So I quit my job and plan to start my own business. Boss lady, give me some advice, what kind of business is good? Or, I'll invest in your studio?"

  "Gee, you're so lucky! You actually won, it's really enviable!"

  Hong Yan's mouth was saying envious words, but her eyes didn't show any envious expression: "Hehe, what development prospects does my studio have? It's not worth investing in. However, I'll give you a suggestion, the hottest industry right now is catering. With over 3 million, you can open a mid-sized restaurant, and as long as it's managed properly, an annual income of several hundred thousand shouldn't be a problem."

  "Open a restaurant?"

  Gao Fei's heart skipped a beat: "Right, it's opening a restaurant. No, it's opening a dining hall, and it's a Western-style dining hall!"

  Western restaurant?

  Hongyan shrugged: "Gao Fei, do you know how much capital is needed to open a Western restaurant? Not to mention the rent. Just for renovations and ingredients like caviar, foie gras, and escargot that need to be air-freighted in, 30-50 million yuan might not even be enough."

  "Haha. I'm going to open a Western restaurant. I just thought of a friend of mine who's abroad and does this kind of thing."

  Gao Fei smiled confidently and changed the subject: "Boss lady, I'd like to discuss something with you."

  Hongyan nodded: "What's up, you tell me."

  "Why don't we two partners open a restaurant? As for the cost of opening and operating a restaurant, you don't have to worry about it. You just take care of management. As for shares, let's split 60-40, I'll take 60% and you take 40%. If you're not satisfied with that, then we can do 50-50..."

  Gao Fei hadn't finished speaking when Jie Hongyan interrupted him, saying lightly: "Gao Fei, thank you for your kind intentions, but I'm not interested in opening a restaurant. Because I like quietness, and..."

  Gao Fei waited for a moment and asked: "And what?"

  Unravel

  Hongyan turned and walked up the stairs. Halfway through, she threw down a sentence: "Gao Fei, you should have heard of a saying, called 'no trouble to offer kindness, not a thief or a robber'."

  Gao Fei was stunned and didn't react until a long while later, when he muttered under his breath: "Damn it, you were right."

  ……

  In the morning, driving from Jinghua to Jinnan, Gao Fei drove for five or six hours.

  After eating a full lunch, I felt tired and returned to my room, fell onto the bed, covered my head with the sheet, and soon fell asleep.

  I don't know how long I slept before being awakened by a few soft knocks on the door.

  He lifted the quilt and found it was already very dark outside.

  Reached for the phone to check the time, but it's out of battery.

  Gao Fei yawned and sat up in bed, lazily asking: "Who is it?"

  "Uncle, it's me, Wenwen. Have you slept enough?"

  The voice of Zhang Wenwen came from outside the door.

  "Ah, it's about right."

  Gao Fei rubbed his eyes and slowly walked to the back of the door, opening it.

  The light in the living room was too dazzling and made her squint.

  However, he saw that on the coffee table in the living room were placed seven or eight plates, with a waist wrapped around an apron, and a pair of small legs exposed, wearing embroidered slippers, Yan Hong was bending over to arrange the plates.

  A black cheongsam tightly wrapped around Xie Hongyan's beautiful buttocks, revealing the faintly visible valley in between.

  Looking at that plump and round buttocks, Gao Fei suddenly thought of the two vermilion gates hidden under his clothes, and his sleepiness disappeared. He chuckled: "Wow, you really want to reward me?"

  "Yes, to thank you for saving the runaway girl, my mom specially cooked a sumptuous meal."

  Zhang Wenwen smiled and pulled Gao Fei, pushing him towards the bathroom: "Hurry up and wash up, I'm waiting for you."

  "Okay, give me five minutes!"

  Gao Fei snapped his fingers and thought to himself: Although Jie Hongyan saw that I had ulterior motives towards her and refused me, she didn't completely shut the two big doors.

  When he finished washing and came out of the bathroom, Hongyan had already filled a glass of red wine for him.

  "Uncle, please sit there for now," said Zhang Wenwen with a smile, pointing to a small stool opposite the sofa.

  "Go on, what's there to be wronged or not wronged about? There are no outsiders here."

  Gao Fei sat on the mat, took a look at the dishes on the table: "Wow, boss lady, isn't this too extravagant? There's even hairy crab! Just by looking at the color, aroma and flavor of these dishes, I don't need to eat them to know that they're not inferior to those made by top chefs!"

  Hongyan smiled and raised an eyebrow, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes. She picked up her wine glass: "Gao Fei, I'd like to toast you, as a formal thank you."

  "Let's go, let's do it!"

  Gao Fei raised his glass, made amends with Hongyan and her mother, clinked glasses, brought it to the tip of his nose, closed his eyes and sniffed, then lightly took a sip.

  After feeling a slightly bitter taste on the tip of his tongue, Gao Fei slowly swallowed it down and opened his eyes: "Huh?"

  After seeing Gao Fei's very pure drinking action, Jie Hongyan's eyes narrowed slightly and asked: "What's wrong?"

  Gao Fei gently swayed the cup, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "This is Lafite '82, right?"

  1982 is known as the 'century vintage' of Bordeaux, with that year's Lafite having a high collection value, each bottle worth around 100,000 yuan.

  To make ends meet, Hongyan had to rent out her house, with a monthly rent of 800 yuan - no matter how you look at it, it seems that she is not living a comfortable life, but how could she afford an '82 Lafite?
