Folks, let's put in more effort, save this, and push the recommendation tickets up! The better the performance, the more updates there will be!
"Boss Wang, as long as Chef Wang agrees to take your eggs, you'll be able to open up the market in the Provincial Capital. After that, you can just focus on expanding your business..."
During the meal, Xia Mi learned that Wang Xiaoqiang was running a Chicken Farm in the mountains back home and was surprised but also filled with admiration. Now, with a delighted face, she analyzed for Wang Xiaoqiang, "Chef Wang is very famous in the Provincial Capital's culinary industry, one could say he's an authoritative figure.
In the future, when you sell your eggs, just mention his name, and other hotel chefs will recognize it..."
Xia Mi's words confirmed that what Wang Dakui had told Wang Xiaoqiang was not just empty talk; this person indeed had a lot of fame and prestige.
Nodding in agreement, Wang Xiaoqiang suggested, "Right, let's invite Chef Wang over for a drink!"
"No need... There's no need to cozy up to him; he's not the type to fall for that," Xia Mi said. "As long as you can guarantee the quality of the eggs afterward, he'll keep working with you..."
"Uh..."
"Moreover, I think, at the culinary festival on New Year's Day next month, he will use your eggs as ingredients. If that's really the case, it would be like advertising for you," Xia Mi was quite eloquent, hitting the nail on the head with every sentence.
She seemed to be looking out for Wang Xiaoqiang's interests, which was also a subtle way of pleasing Xu Qingxue, as she could tell that Wang Xiaoqiang and Xu Qingxue had a special relationship.
"Xia Mi, it's a pity you're in management; you really should go into business," Xu Qingxue said to Xia Mi with a smile.
"What's the matter, old classmate, are you mocking me?" Xia Mi flipped her hair from her neck, revealing a temptingly pale and tender neck.
"No, no, I'm speaking the truth," Xu Qingxue shook her head and waved her hands.
Although Xu Qingxue flatly denied it, Xia Mi felt from her woman's intuition that Xu Qingxue was indeed being a bit sarcastic. She realized that she had been talking too much, and her excessive attention towards Wang Xiaoqiang had already caused Xu Qingxue's annoyance.
"I can't do it anymore, I'm so stuffed," Xia Mi said in an exaggerated manner: "I need to go to the restroom, excuse me."
With that, she got up and left the private room. As Xia Mi had become the manager of this star-rated hotel, her ability to read the room and adapt was naturally exceptional. At this moment, she wisely left some space for Xu Qingxue and Wang Xiaoqiang.
"This cheeky girl, what's she up to now?" Seeing Xia Mi make an excuse to leave the room, Xu Qingxue muttered, then said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Don't mind her, come on, Little Qiang, let's drink..."
Xu Qingxue raised her glass to Wang Xiaoqiang.
"I dare not drink too much, how can I treat you if I get drunk?" Wang Xiaoqiang spoke softly.
"It's okay, just drink. I don't believe you can't hold your liquor as well as I can," Xu Qingxue said, and then she gulped down a big glass of red wine. She choked a bit from drinking so fast and started coughing.
"You shouldn't drink so much either," Wang Xiaoqiang advised. He could tell that Xu Qingxue was not a drinker, yet she seemed intent on forcing herself to drink.
"It's nothing, I'm happy today," Xu Qingxue said looking at Wang Xiaoqiang, "If I get drunk you can take me home..."
"Why would you want to get drunk?" Wang Xiaoqiang was a bit surprised.
"…" Xu Qingxue opened her mouth but said nothing, her face turning red.
Seeing Xu Qingxue's shy demeanor and evasive gaze, Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly understood something and said, "If you want to drink, go ahead."
Sure enough, Xu Qingxue continued to drink, and by the time the gathering ended, she was indeed somewhat tipsy, her speech was slurred, and she staggered when she walked, though her mind was still clear.
Fortunately, Xia Mi returned to the private room when the gathering was over and helped her out of the hotel, escorting her all the way to the passenger seat of Wang Xiaoqiang's truck. After closing the car door, Xia Mi whispered in Wang Xiaoqiang's ear, "Boss Wang, you're really something, getting our beautiful Bureau Chief like that!"
Wang Xiaoqiang not only didn't refute but also smiled proudly at Xia Mi, "See you next time, Manager Xia. I'm going to take Little Xue home now."
Hearing this, Xia Mi no longer doubted, but was convinced that the beautiful Bureau Chief had truly fallen, and for a man younger than herself at that, which was very contrary to her usual style.
Xu Qingxue seemed too drunk to function but was still lucid inside. Hearing Wang Xiaoqiang call her Little Xue, her heart fluttered, and seeing Wang Xiaoqiang get into the truck, she leaned in even more, pretending to be more drunk.
Earlier in the hotel's private room, she really wanted to get drunk so that when Wang Xiaoqiang treated her, it would avoid the awkwardness of physical contact.
Wang Xiaoqiang later realized this as well, and after offering a word of caution, he stopped urging her to drink. However, Xu Qingxue had greatly underestimated her own tolerance, and after downing a bottle and a half of red wine, she still wasn't completely drunk.
Now, she was feeling very conflicted, both wanting Wang Xiaoqiang to treat her illness and fearing his physical touch.
It was too awkward; how could she face each other in the future?
All right then, from now on, no more meetings; let's forget each other in the Martial World!
She silently gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
Just as the thought surfaced, she suddenly felt an unexpected pang of reluctance in her heart.
A wave of bitterness.
"Shall I take you home?" Wang Xiaoqiang started the car.
"Mm, okay," Xu Qingxue responded. She wanted to act more drunk, but without the talent for performance, she gave up on pretending and steeled her heart, "Let's go to my own place."
"Uh..." Wang Xiaoqiang immediately realized that she was bringing him into a world meant only for the two of them, and then she would ask him to treat her. With that thought, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a bit awkward, and a romantic notion started to stir within him.
Following Xu Qingxue's directions, Wang Xiaoqiang drove to a residential area called Jinxiu Garden and parked the car in the underground garage.
"Shall I help you out of the car?" After parking, Wang Xiaoqiang asked.
"I should be able to walk now." Xu Qingxue said as she forcefully pushed the car door open to get out.
Wang Xiaoqiang hurried out of the car to help her, but to his surprise, Xu Qingxue was indeed somewhat sober now and could walk on her own.
Xu Qingxue didn't expect this either, cursing inwardly at how quickly the alcohol's effects were fading, wondering how to get him to treat her now.
Watching him touch her body, how embarrassing would that be?
Xu Jingxue walked shakily in front of him while Wang Buqiang carefully followed behind her, vigilantly watching her as if fearing she might fall and he wouldn't be able to catch her in time.
After a few dozen steps, Xu Qingxue suddenly stopped, and Wang Xiaoqiang followed suit. Turning her head and seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's cautious look, she chuckled and said, "You don't have to be so cautious. I'm not pregnant."
"Uh..." Wang Xiaoqiang uttered, showing a trace of restraint.
Xu Qingxue turned back around and continued walking, feeling a warm and sweet sensation in her heart. Whether in the past or present, there were always some men who wanted to approach her, uttering words of concern. But none of those sweet nothings moved her as much as Wang Xiaoqiang's silent care did.
Taking the elevator up, they entered the apartment, which was empty and appeared to have been uninhabited for some time. Despite that, the interior was neatly arranged and clean.
"There are drinks in the fridge. Help yourself," Xu Qingxue advised before collapsing onto the sofa.
"Shall I get one for you as well?" Wang Xiaoqiang opened the fridge, noting that it contained beverages and mineral water.
"I don't want it," Xu Qingxue declined abruptly, thinking that the chilled water would only make her more sober.
Wang Xiaoqiang took out a bottle of YiLi mineral water and began drinking it while standing in front of the open fridge door.
"When you're finished, help me with the treatment," Xu Qingxue's voice trembled slightly, but she was firm. As she spoke, she turned over and lay facedown on the sofa, burying her face underneath.
"Mm…" Wang Xiaoqiang hummed a response as he drank the water, contemplating how to proceed with the treatment—this was a question that deserved serious thought.
It was a matter of "degree"—specifically, the level of physical contact during the treatment.
Actually, Wang Xiaoqiang only needed to press his fingers against Xu Qingxue's wrist, like taking a pulse, to channel Spiritual Energy into her body and use his willpower to guide it into her organs. But such a method would be considered too shocking and inappropriate.
Remember that when he treated her mother, Liu Yueying, Wang Xiaoqiang still had to lightly stroke her back for appearances, and even that had surprised those present. Now, how could he "skimp on the job" again?
But if he didn't skimp on the job, the degree of physical contact between them would have to be greater and deeper. Wang Xiaoqiang would have to touch her body, and that would make both feel very uncomfortable.
Both approaches seemed inappropriate.
And such a thing, he couldn't discuss with Xu Qingxue; he had to decide on his own.
What to do?
What to do?
To treat or not to treat?
Wang Xiaoqiang finally finished the mineral water, his gaze shifting to Xu Qingxue. There she was, lying on the couch, her figure alluring, curves delightful,
