Chapter 977: Chapter 402: Let’s Begin, Jing! (Part 2)

”Mm, over here.” Jing naturally took Tang Song’s hand, fingers interlocked.

They came to the restaurant.

Looking at the exquisite and lavish lunch on the table, Tang Song raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, ”Did you make all these?”

Squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, crab powder tofu, lion’s head meatballs, spicy boiled beef, diced delicate tofu...

With appealing color, aroma, and taste, it whets the appetite.

Who would have thought Jing had such skills!

Jing blinked and playfully said, ”Yes, I made them all. Try it, Brother Tang Song, and see if you like it.”

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of beef for Tang Song.

”Jing, you really are full of surprises,” Tang Song remarked, picking it up and putting it in his mouth.

The texture was tender and firm, juicy and delicious.

”It’s so good! Thank you, Jing, for your hard work.”

”It’s what I should do. Brother Tang Song, don’t be so polite with me.” Jing smiled with her eyebrows curving and began continuously serving him food.

Occasionally, she would introduce the dishes, sharing her training experiences at Smile Holding.

She spoke knowledgeably and entertainingly.

Actually, she is very smart, having received elite education from a young age, and her emotional intelligence and IQ are outstanding.

She shows different sides to different people.

Among company colleagues, she is the sweet and gentle goddess colleague.

She maintains a social boundary, always keeping a certain distance with colleagues, making it clear she’s taken to avoid giving anyone false hopes or illusions.

In front of big figures like Zheng Qiudong and Shangguan Qiuya, she shows a positive and sensible side, earning their favor.

With Tang Song, she plays the role of a cute and obedient girlfriend, providing enough emotional value to gain his affection.

Of course, these don’t affect her somewhat eccentric small hobbies.

She is only 22 now, with parents in their prime and coming from a privileged family background.

Facing her first relationship, she enjoys and explores more.

Plus, influenced since childhood and knowing some of her father’s secrets,

she doesn’t mind the presence of people like Xu Qing and Shen Yuyan; she even finds it particularly interesting.

Of course, this is just how she feels at this stage.

As for the future...

She’ll deal with it later.

”Buzz buzz buzz—”

Yao Lingling paused her work on researching new materials and took out her phone from her pocket.

[Qiuqiu: ”Sorry, Lingling, something urgent came up here, I need to finish it before I can leave, so I might be a bit late.”]

[Qiuqiu: ”Really sorry.”]

Yao Lingling quickly replied: ”It’s okay, no need to apologize, I should be the one feeling sorry for delaying your work. We’ll wait for you at the KTV, and we’re definitely drinking today, so don’t ride your bike.”

[Qiuqiu: ”Mm, I’ll take a cab, sorry.”]

They exchanged a few more messages.

Yao Lingling put down her phone, shaking her head slightly in exasperation.

This new friend of hers is pretty good in all aspects, just sometimes a bit too serious.

Such matters can be casually mentioned, but the friend insists on feeling so guilty, as if they committed a grave offense.

Yao Lingling felt that Qiuqiu wasn’t nearly as indifferent as she appeared on the surface.

Once she accepts someone, you can feel her warm and sincere affection.

”My dear designer, why the sighs?” Li Shumin suddenly sidled over, ”It’s your birthday today; cheer up a bit.”

The designer at the adjacent desk, Li Xuan, teased: ”Is it because President Xiao can’t attend your birthday party that you’re upset?”

Covering her mouth, Yao Lingling laughed, ”Hehe, it’s just as well President Xiao isn’t coming, otherwise we’d feel too restrained. I also have other classmates and friends coming, and I’d be worried about neglecting the leader and getting in trouble later.”

Li Xuan sourly said: ”(ˉ▽￣～) Hmph~~, you two are so close; there’s no need to fear that.”

Everyone knows that Yao Lingling from Shangya Clothing Design had incredible luck.

Accidentally helping Xiao Mingxuan, who was undergoing practical training, led to an enormous blessing.

From an ordinary assistant, she soared to become a designer in the Qimeng Business Department.

Moreover, Xiao Mingxuan took special care of her, showing favors that exceeded typical coworker relations.

Originally, Xiao Mingxuan had promised to celebrate Yao Lingling’s birthday in the evening.

But early this morning, he notified the group that he was going to Hang City on a business trip and would return tomorrow.

He coincidentally couldn’t attend this birthday party.

Li Shumin regretfully said: ”I was hoping President Xiao would come; I wanted to see what gift he’d bring.”

Yao Lingling replied annoyed, ”Such a money-grubber, my birthday isn’t for receiving gifts, it’s mainly to have fun with friends.”

She has a very optimistic and cheerful personality, with a wide circle of friends.

Just within Yan City, she has a large group of close friends, both male and female.

However, because it coincides with Valentine’s Day, those coming tonight are probably all singles.

”Should I invite Senior Tang Song over?” Li Shumin smiled and winked.

Yao Lingling’s cheeks blushed instantly, ”Why invite him over, and it’s too late to say now, let’s not make a fuss out of it.”

”Hehe, truly the verbal master Yao Lingling.” Li Shumin laughed teasingly, ”You declare ownership online, but in real life, you’re all shy and don’t even dare to send a message.

Sometimes, she doesn’t quite understand Lingling. She’s usually very open and lively, yet she’s particularly shy and timid when facing Tang Song.

Even when facing top-tier rich and handsome guys like Xiao Mingxuan, she conducts herself with ease and grace.

Thinking of this, looking at her good sister across from her, Li Shumin couldn’t help but feel a little envious.
