Chapter 191: 191 Nana’s True Face (Today is too busy, a bit late)

Zhu Na was a store exploration live streamer with a substantial following, and thanks to her good looks and lively commentary style, she quickly carved out her niche in the gastronomy sector.

She was different from those big eaters who stuffed their faces in front of the camera and sneakily edited out their gagging later; her brand was about being real and reliable!

She used to be a decent person, but fame gradually got to her head.

In the past, when fans criticized a restaurant’s practice in her live stream, she would definitely step up and speak on their behalf! Now, she just chuckled ambiguously, as if she agreed with the fans, feeling that the restaurant was being unfair to her.

After all, as a celebrity with a million fans, she informed the restaurant in advance about her visit, so why couldn’t they reserve a private parking space for her?!

It didn’t occur to her that the places she used to visit were mid-range restaurants, where they were more than pleased with her free promotion and treated her with courtesy.

Food Supplement Shop, on the other hand, targeted the high-end market and didn’t need streamers to hype them up.

In fact... if it wasn’t for the pursuit of finding the boss, the owner wouldn’t even want to open that many branches.

Store exploration live streamer? Who cares about that...

It was a drizzly day, and the people downstairs were holding umbrellas, their specific features unclear, but one could vaguely make out a family, with members both young and old.

Zhu Na contemplated whether to seize the opportunity to "bump into" them, but the family went straight through the VIP entrance, with no intention of heading towards the main hall stairs...

She smiled and said, "Nana needs to work even harder! I hope to receive VIP treatment in the future."

"Nana, keep it up, your fans will always have your back."

"Don’t worry, this shop’s got no eye for talent; if they don’t give you VIP, I will! Light up the Super Fires!"

"Hopefully the food at Food Supplement Shop is delicious; otherwise, what’s the point of having tiers? It’d be fun to see them ruin their reputation in the end!"

"Nana’s reviews have always been objective; I believe in her!!!"

Meanwhile, in the private booth, Lin Qiming breezily ordered over a dozen dishes: "Make these specialties!"

His face was a billboard for "money is no object."

The waiter accepted the order with politeness: "Some dishes are complex and are expected to be served within half an hour; please be patient."

Lin Qiming waved his hand magnanimously: "No problem!"

What’s half an hour anyway? At the Food Supplement Shop in the capital, you have to wait an hour for your food, and he waits without complaint!

Great food is worth the wait, just like fine wine is worth the search.

The private booth they occupied was spacious, not only with a dining room and a reception room but also a broad balcony adjacent to a pond. The second-floor terrace’s small bridges over flowing water style was indeed a pleasure to the eyes.

Since they were waiting for the food anyway, nobody was in a hurry, and everyone found a spot to relax and have fun.

Soon, Du Mansheng arrived with Song Xiaoyu.

"Sister Xiaoyu! long time no see!" Tang Tang was the first to eagerly dash over, "I really missed you!"

Song Xiaoyu had undergone head surgery, and half of the hair at the back of her head was shaved off. Furthermore, to avoid catching a cold, Du Mansheng had specifically chosen a loose beret for her, which made her eyes appear even more bright and lively.

To be honest, despite Song Qinglong being a jerk, the beauty genes were there, and both of his daughters looked quite good.

Song Xiaoyu had previously suffered greatly, and at a tender age, she had to take on most of the agricultural work at home. Her entire face was dark and thin, her little hands alarmingly dry and withered.

After the car accident, under the meticulous care of a caregiver and the patient companionship of Du Mansheng, she visibly gained weight. Her eyes no longer held the cautious, timid look they once did; instead, they seemed increasingly gentle and cute.

"Sister Tangtang, I miss you so much too," Song Xiaoyu said with a smile, her eyes curving into crescents.

Tang Tang tugged at Song Xiaoyu’s sleeve, "Sister Xiaoyu, let me take you to see the pretty little carps, they’re red and always hiding under the rockery, no matter how I call them they won’t come out."

"Sure, I’ll come with you to have a look."

Yan Wang and Jun Yan sat in the corridor and greeted in unison, "Sister Xiaoyu."

Song Xiaoyu nodded, her demeanor much more composed than before.

Yan Yueqing watched the children playing together from a distance and patted Du Mansheng on the shoulder, "Xiaoyu is recovering well, all thanks to Sister Mansheng’s careful efforts."

"It’s my own child; no amount of care is too much." Du Mansheng smiled and turned to enter the quiet reception room with her, closing the door behind them. "Yueqing... I subtly mentioned Xiaoyu’s background to her."

"Oh?" Yan Yueqing was a bit surprised. From her observation, Song Xiaoyu’s expression appeared normal just now, as if such matters hadn’t stirred any waves in her. Could this child be so accepting?

Seeing the confusion in her heart, Du Mansheng let out a deep sigh, "I just told her a story about a child being taken away, I don’t even know if Xiaoyu truly understood.

She just left the Song Family; I’m worried that saying too much too soon would scare her... Isn’t it laughable? Even though she’s my own daughter, I still have to approach the matter with such caution..."

"Mothers and daughters share a bond; things will improve," Yan Yueqing reassured her, thinking about her own process of getting along with Yan Wang. Wasn’t it the same?

She advised, "Besides, Xiaoyu is someone who knows gratitude. Look at Qin Youran, she just pretended to be nice to Xiaoyu, and the child has taken her to heart! You truly love her; how could Xiaoyu not understand that?"

"I hope so..." Du Mansheng thought of something with aversion and turned away, "The sins that Song Qinglong has committed... How can such a person even deserve to have two daughters?"

Speaking of Song Qinglong, I have something I would like to discuss with Sister Mansheng," Yan Yueqing said, "I just purchased a piece of land, planning to do a small business. As I mentioned before, I plan to invest in the Du Family in Xiaoyu’s name. Our two families will work together to bring down Song Qinglong."

Du Mansheng nodded, "Yueqing, for helping me to such an extent, I don’t even know how to thank you..."

"Don’t mention it, even Grandpa acknowledges the strength of the Du Family. Teaming up with you is actually a bargain for my Yan Family," Yueqing replied.

These days, whoever you invest in is your dad!

Du Mansheng was fully aware that Yan Yueqing was indirectly helping her and expressed her gratitude, "I’m not too involved with the Du Family’s business, but I have discussed this with Dad, and he plans to send my brother over tomorrow to coordinate with the Yan Family."

"Tomorrow?" Yueqing calculated the time – the All-Purpose Butler scheduled by the system was also due to arrive tomorrow, just in time to facilitate their discussion!

She could be the carefree shopkeeper, perfect!

After chatting for a while longer, the waiters began to bring out the dishes gradually.

Old Master Yan was very keen, the first one to take his seat in the dining room. The others followed, and upon seeing the dishes on the table, they nearly salivated with anticipation!

Qiming, being sensible, served Old Master Yan a bowl of chicken soup first, "Grandpa, this chicken soup is fresh, tender, and smooth – have some to whet your appetite."

Then, he proactively placed the signature dish, the mixed elbow, in front of Old Master Yan: "This is their famous mixed elbow!"

The glistening elbow, topped with a savory sauce blended with mushrooms and mixed vegetables, was mouthwatering to behold.

"Good, good, good!" Old Master Yan repeated the word ’good’ three times.
