Chapter 545: Chapter 545: Only Yan Shao Can Cure You
"Huh?"
Chen Jing didn’t understand Luo Yifan’s hidden meaning and asked blankly, "Don’t you have other alternative dishes?"
Luo Yifan replied with an amused expression, "No!"
"Then you...Didn’t you say you would simply change it?"
"Yes!"
"If you don’t have an alternative dish, how will you change it?" Chen Jing was persistent.
Luo Yifan, in high spirits, laughed, "I don’t have one, but you do!"
At this, Chen Jing’s brow knitted slightly. Was Luo Yifan playing with her?
After a moment, Chen Jing finally relaxed her forehead and asked formally, "Mr. Luo, are you messing with me?"
It was then that Luo Yifan realized that although Chen Jing is Zhu Qianying’s mother, her thinking is entirely different from Zhu Qianying’s.
However, it was just as well. Even though they were mother and daughter, it was impossible for them to share the same thoughts.
Zhu Qianying’s temperament was indeed good, but Chen Jing’s was not bad either.
"Ah Jing, I’m sorry, I’m not fooling you. What I was saying is true. I indeed felt that these two vegetarian dishes do not match the menu. And I’ve tasted your dishes a few times recently. The two vegetarian dishes are perfect for this menu."
"So, I came here to sincerely invite you to cooperate with our Fanxin Restaurant, to participate in the International Gourmet Fair together. What do you think?"
It’s been said that when happiness comes too suddenly, some people’s brains might briefly lack oxygen, a phenomenon commonly known as "blacking out".
Right now, Chen Jing was experiencing this symptom.
Chen Jing blanked out for a moment before she finally returned to reality. She turned to Luo Yifan, who had been watching her patiently waiting for her response, and said, "Brother Luo, let me consider this matter, is that okay?"
Luo Yifan, clearly relieved, replied, "Of course, you can discuss it with Ying Zi. Here is the menu and the brochure for the food exhibition that I’ll leave for you. The registration deadline is the end of this month, can you give me an answer before the 20th?"
Chen Jing nodded, "Yes, I will get back to you as soon as possible. I won’t keep you waiting too long."
After recollecting her thoughts, Chen Jing understood that this was a big challenge for her, but also a great opportunity.
Entering the kitchen, she scolded Zhu Qianying.
"Ying’er, you are too much! You knew everything yet you never told me. For such a big event, you should have revealed your cards to me first instead of letting me make a fool of myself in front of Luo!"
Zhu Qianying teased her with a smile, "Mom, tell me, how did you make a fool of yourself? Are you happy that you started crying?"
Chen Jing glared at her, "Just keep joking, no one can handle you now except Yan Bo!"
Of course, Chen Jing was only joking.
In her heart, she knew very well that her daughter is way more sensible compared to other girls her age.
Zhu Qianying stuck out her tongue, "He can’t handle me either. I have total control over his finances. He wouldn’t dare to cross me!"
Chen Jing spanked her, "You’re so arrogant!"
Despite the disdain on her face, Chen Jing was filled with joy at her daughter’s happiness.
"Mom, I’ll go out with you to chat with Uncle Luo. If you don’t understand something, just ask him."
Chen Jing cleared her throat, "But won’t he get annoyed if I ask everything?"
Zhu Qianying giggled, "I think he’d be more than happy to answer your questions. He won’t get annoyed!"
That lunch, the mother and daughter ate with Luo Yifan. The three of them ate and talked, some of it about the food exhibition, and some about unrelated matters.
Initially, Zhu Qianying chipped in occasionally. But as the conversation continued, she quietly listened and ate.
It was then that she realized her mother was quite eloquent.
Moreover, Zhu Qianying noticed that when her mother talked about gourmet food and the dishes she loved, she would become quite animated, exuding a radiant confidence.
Later, she noticed that when her mother heard Luo Yifan’s straightforward praises, she would smile shyly, looking as cute as a child who had just been praised by their teacher!
This made Zhu Qianying’s thoughts clearer.
In the evening, when Chen Jing returned to the Yan family’s home and told everyone what Luo Yifan had proposed, everyone agreed that it was a great opportunity that should not be missed.
"Mom, I was wondering why Ying Zi was giggling all last night. It turns out she was laughing about your stuff!"
Yan Bo teased jokingly.
Zhu Qianying pinched his arm fiercely, "When was I giggling? I was minutes away from being annoyed to death by you!"
The moment Zhu Qianying’s words came out, Yan Bo’s parents couldn’t help giggling.
Before Chen Jing could ask, Yan Bo explained.
"Mom, can you believe it? We all think she should rest well, right? So, I had Uncle Hai disconnect the internet during the afternoon so she could take a nap in peace. But when she returned and found out there was no internet or computer, she got angry at me!"
Indeed, Yan Bo’s actions were for Zhu Qianying’s sake.
She must have had some free time recently as she had downloaded a game and started playing online games.
They all knew that online games could be addictive.
She had been working overtime for a while. These past few days were a rare moment of relaxation for her. Naturally, Yan Bo hoped she could regain the weight she had lost.
Never could he imagined that she would get addicted to playing games, forgetting meals and sleep. When she returned from the restaurant at noon to find the internet disconnected and her laptop taken away (according to Uncle Hai, per Young Master’s order), she couldn’t receive her laptop until that evening.
As soon as she heard this, Zhu Qianying was naturally angry. After all, she was not a child anymore. She knew how to balance fun and work.
"Ying’er, I also think Yan Bo is right. You’ve been so busy lately, it’s time for you to rest. It’s better to play less games."
Chen Jing often disagreed with her daughter’s opinions. In her words, she sided with reason rather than relations.
Feeling unsupported, Zhu Qianying stood up with a huff, ran up the stairs, "Ying’er, where are you going?"
Yan Bo couldn’t help but ask from behind.
"Sleep! I want to sleep till I turn into a pig!"
Zhu Qianying’s angry voice echoed back before her figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
So Yan Bo stood up and followed her upstairs.
The elders continued discussing Chen Jing’s exhibition topic downstairs, not taking Zhu Qianying’s childish reaction to heart.
After all, they were assured that even if Zhu Qianying was truly angry, Yan Bo could always placate her.
As for how, that was the young people’s business. As elders, they couldn’t interfere too much.
