Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Miss Tian, what you said is a bit too……"

Zhao Qifeng was both amused and exasperated; the words reached his lips but he couldn't continue.

He quickly glanced at Fang Yuan beside him.

Fang Yuan held her teacup, her eyes holding a hint of suppressed amusement.

She seemed not to care about what Tian Xiaolin had just said.

What Tian Xiaolin had just said was obviously nonsense, but Zhao Qifeng couldn't refute it.

He couldn't very well say that Fang Shiming's figure was almost as round as a ball, could he?

Once those words were spoken, he would definitely offend someone.

Tian Xiaolin spoke without restraint and without thinking; perhaps people thought this little girl was innocent and candid.

If he himself said such things, it would be different.

After all, Fang Yuan was the financial backer investing in the concert, and Zhao Qifeng didn't dare offend her.

"Miss Tian, mealtime is not working time. If you feel the current body management plan is not satisfactory enough, I will adjust it within working hours."

Zhao Qifeng hemmed and hawed for a long time, and could only refute from this angle.

Tian Xiaolin raised her eyebrows, about to open her mouth to say something.

Zhao Qifeng immediately spoke again before she could: "Miss Tian, continuing to argue like this is meaningless. You'd better follow the plan I just mentioned, or I'll call Sister Yang and ask for her opinion?"

Agent Yang Zhen was famously strict in the circle.

Even if Tian Xiaolin was willful in private, she had to obediently listen in front of her.

Zhao Qifeng brought up the agent again, on one hand to pressure Tian Xiaolin, and on the other to get her to talk less.

He couldn't let Tian Xiaolin keep talking nonsense; if she continued speaking without restraint and offended the investor, this concert cooperation might run into trouble.

"Alright, then I'll listen to Coach Zhao's arrangement."

Tian Xiaolin looked at Zhao Qifeng's determined eyes, seeing he had no intention of compromising, and that he had even brought up the agent, so she reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Although she hadn't managed to send Zhao Qifeng away, she wasn't worried either.

She still had other trump cards she hadn't used yet.

While waiting for the food, Zhao Qifeng indeed sat silently at the table as he had just said, not interfering in the conversation among the three girls.

But his gaze was glued to Tian Xiaolin, his brow furrowed the whole time.

He looked like an old father angered by a wayward daughter, trying to make her feel a bit of guilt through his gaze.

But Tian Xiaolin simply didn't care about his gaze at all.

She chatted happily with Fang Yuan while occasionally glancing toward the kitchen, looking forward to the coming lunch.

Lu Feng's preparation work before opening every day was thorough, so the speed of serving food had always been fast.

"Everyone, your meal is ready, please come pick it up!"

Not long after, Hu Xiaoyun's clear shout came from the counter side.

Zhao Qifeng scanned the shop and found that diners at other tables were serving themselves.

"How can this shop not even have a waiter to serve food? Do customers have to serve themselves?"

He frowned and couldn't help muttering softly.

Dining with investors of Fang Yuan and Fang Shiming's level, yet having to serve the food himself.

He felt this meal lacked a bit of grandeur.

Tian Xiaolin, however, didn't care about this; upon hearing Hu Xiaoyun's shout, her eyes lit up immediately, almost jumping up from her chair, and she immediately wanted to get up and run over.

"Miss Tian, please sit and wait here, I'll go serve the food for you."

The little assistant beside Tian Xiaolin was very perceptive, immediately standing up and saying.

"Okay, then thank you."

Tian Xiaolin smiled and nodded, sat back down, and said in a very intimate tone.

Seeing this, Zhao Qifeng also hurriedly stood up, bowing slightly to Fang Yuan: "General Manager Fang, I'll also go help serve the food; you and Miss Tian don't need to go over."

The one treating today was Fang Yuan, and she was also the investor, so naturally he couldn't let her personally go serve food.

Moreover, he didn't know if Tian Xiaolin's earlier lack of restraint had made her unhappy inside.

His doing this also carried a bit of meaning of making amends to Fang Yuan on Tian Xiaolin's behalf.

"Okay, thank you."

Fang Yuan smiled faintly at Zhao Qifeng and said.

The smile on her face was still very gentle, and looked very natural.

Zhao Qifeng's hanging heart finally relaxed a bit, and he turned and walked toward the counter side.

It seemed General Manager Fang hadn't taken what Tian Xiaolin said earlier to heart.

The first dish served to the table was the Dongpo Pork Knuckle Tian Xiaolin ordered.

Tian Xiaolin glanced at it, and her gaze couldn't move away at all.

This Dongpo Pork Knuckle before her eyes looked simply like a work of art.

The surface was red and bright as if coated with a layer of amber, and when served to the table it trembled slightly a few times; one look and it was clear it was stewed thoroughly.

The deep brown soup/juice surrounded the knuckle spread in a shallow pool, the color very tempting.

The pork knuckle was just the right size, lying quietly on a plate as clean as new.

The pork knuckle gave off an enticing meat fragrance, yet smelled in no way greasy.

Tian Xiaolin had previously still carried a few traces of a female singer's reserve in public.

But once this pork knuckle was served, she could no longer hold back that bit of reserve.

The fragrance of the pork knuckle stirred the hunger in her belly into a surging rush, and saliva began to pour forth wildly.

"Sister Yuan Yuan, I'm starving already—can I taste this pork knuckle first?"

Taking advantage of the time Zhao Qifeng went to the counter side again to serve dishes, Tian Xiaolin said quietly to Fang Yuan.

She stared fixedly at the pork knuckle, her tone full of impatience.

The others' meals had not yet arrived, and she felt it would be somewhat impolite to eat first.

But this Dongpo Pork Knuckle looked far too tempting, making her almost unable to resist.

"Of course you can, taste it quickly! Lu Boss's culinary skill is guaranteed to open your eyes."

Fang Yuan looked at Tian Xiaolin's appearance of drooling with green light in her eyes, and couldn't help but smile and nod.

Having received permission, Tian Xiaolin nodded quickly, reached out with both hands, and pulled the Dongpo Pork Knuckle in front of herself.

She first glanced around; the diners around were all buried in eating their own things, and no one paid attention to her side's movements.

Tian Xiaolin then carefully took off her mask, and next lifted the plate with both hands.

She blew a few breaths at the fattest, most tender part of the pork knuckle; once the temperature on the pork knuckle had dropped slightly, she went straight in with a big "ah wu" bite.

Indeed, when Tian Xiaolin ate, she didn't even pick up chopsticks, but bit directly with her mouth.

With that bite, sauce from the Dongpo Pork Knuckle stuck around her mouth and on the tip of her nose.

Tian Xiaolin's action left Fang Yuan across from her staring dumbfounded.

This way of eating could be said to show not the slightest regard for appearance.

If she were recognized by fans right now, she might end up on the hot search tomorrow.

Tian Xiaolin bit down, and instantly her eyes widened.
