Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Craving for Barbecue and Milk Tea

"Absolutely no problem." The chief nodded, understanding that it wouldn’t be acceptable to not offer something beneficial.

"In regards to your first mission, we’ll need a few days to find a place near the sea, a large plot of land on a mountain or an island. We’ll then sign an agreement with you, giving you the sea and the land," Chief Wei explained to Xia Yue.

"Alright, you guys handle it." Xia Yue nodded.

"Regarding the operation of the resort, we’ll arrange for a professional team to help you plan, develop, and promote the resort," Chief Wei continued.

"Alright, alright." This was what Xia Yue was most concerned about.

Chief Wei exchanged glances with Yan Mo and nodded. Xia Yue was indeed just as described in the briefing, she preferred laziness over taking responsibility.

"From here on, Yan Mo will be responsible. Report any issues you have, and I’ll help coordinate as much as I can," Chief Wei said to Yan Mo.

"Yes, sir." Yan Mo immediately saluted.

"Fine." Xia Yue nodded.

Chief Wei told Xia Yue to wait at home for a few days and asked Yan Mo to escort her home.

"Senior Yan Mo, you can drop me off downtown." Once in the car, Xia Yue told Yan Mo.

"I should make sure you arrive home safely, it’s no trouble," Yan Mo replied, thinking she was worried about burdening him.

"No, I just want to go for a stroll and grab a meal." Xia Yue clarified that she had barely eaten anything in the morning and was now quite hungry. Moreover, since she was rarely downtown, she wanted to get barbecue and milk tea, which she was sure Yan Mo wouldn’t enjoy.

"Chen Bing, go to Taiyue Building," Yan Mo looked at her and ordered Chen Bing who was driving.

"Why go to Taiyue Building?" Xia Yue asked, bewildered.

"Didn’t you say you wanted to eat?" Yan Mo asked, puzzled.

"Uh, never mind. I crave Spicy Hot Pot, BBQ, and the like. Just drop me downtown, I can find someplace myself." Xia Yue politely declined, though somewhat embarrassed.

She rarely came downtown, so she wanted to have her favorite foods when she did.

Yan Mo paused for a moment before saying, "...eating too much of these foods isn’t good for your health."

Xia Yue held back a retort, she wanted to yell at the top of her lungs. But she didn’t know Yan Mo that well and they had to work together in the future. She couldn’t afford to sour their relationship.

"I only eat it once in a while, I haven’t had barbecue in a month. I’m craving it now and if I don’t get to eat it, I won’t be able to stop thinking about it. I won’t be able to sleep all night," Xia Yue said, smiling.

After going to university, Yan Mo didn’t really care about what he ate. He ate whatever was available. It surprised him that someone could actually lose sleep over food.

But he saw her earnest expression and realized her cravings were for real. He conceded to drop her at a place downtown.

Once they reached, Xia Yue bid them goodbye, swiftly opened the car door, got out, closed the door, and without looking back, began to run.

"Why is she running? Does she want to eat that badly?" Yan Mo watched her retreating figure and asked, perplexed.

"Maybe she was afraid you’d change your mind and take her to Taiyue Building," Chen Bing replied, laughing.

Yan Mo gave him a speechless glance, then told him to take him back.

Considering her previous status, strolling around and having a meal downtown would not pose any danger.

If they were to arrange for someone to follow her, it could attract attention to her and potentially endanger her.
