"It's really you who's back, why didn't you tell me when you returned?"

Lin Yuluo stared intently at Ling Zhenfei, her gaze seemed to melt with emotions, tears brimming in her eyes.

The two of them just hugged each other like that. After a long while, Xiao Yaqing coughed, reminding them that there was someone else in the room.

They quickly separated and sat back down. By then, the dishes had already been set on the table.

Ling Zhenfei still seemed a bit incredulous and asked, "What are you doing here, how did you know I came to Modu?"

Lin Yuluo laughed, "You're a big star now, it's impossible not to know, oh, and why didn't you bring your girlfriend today?"

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, knowing Lin Yuluo was referring to Jiang Hui, but he couldn't help feeling a little saddened. Although Lin Yuluo was still the same as before, things were hard to go back to how they were.

Back then, he and Lin Yuluo were in a relationship. After helping Yuluo reclaim Lin's Group, everyone thought Ling Zhenfei would become the leader of Lin's Group.

Lin Yuluo also thought this at the time, and had said to Ling Zhenfei that as long as he followed her, everything she had would be his, but in the end Ling Zhenfei chose to forge his own path.

After such a long time, seeing Lin Yuluo again inevitably sent his thoughts adrift. He had become an online celebrity, but Lin Yuluo had also changed.

"You must mean my assistant. I've arranged for her to stay and study at the hotel, as she has a lot to do."

After staring at Ling Zhenfei for a long while, Lin Yuluo said, "You've changed a bit; you're even more confident than before."

Lin Yuluo was certainly right. At that time, Ling Zhenfei was just starting from a nobody inching towards success, but now it's different; Ling Zhenfei has become a full-fledged success.

Now when Ling Zhenfei goes out to discuss business, deals are worth billions. More importantly, he is very famous, and countless people see him as their savior.

So Ling Zhenfei is now very confident.

Xiao Yaqing couldn't help but interject, "Can you two stop being mushy for a moment and talk about my business first?"

Ling Zhenfei and Lin Yuluo both looked at Xiao Yaqing, and Ling Zhenfei said, "It's really strange, how do you know Lin Yuluo?"

Xiao Yaqing said, "I met Lin Yuluo a long time ago. Back when I was studying, I was Yuluo's tutor, but we got along very well, so we stayed in touch.

The reason I ate vegetables from Xishan Manor was because I ate them when I went to Binyang to visit Yuluo, so that's not surprising, right?"

"So that's it, but I'll still tell you, even though you're friends with Yuluo, I'll still say that I still plan to open a restaurant here, opening one in Modu has long been part of my plan."

"Zhenfei, the thing is, see if there's a way for Yaqing to reduce some losses. Your Xi Shan Restaurant is incredibly popular online; your restaurant would take away at least half the customer flow."

Lin Yuluo said worriedly.

Ling Zhenfei looked at the two beautiful women and said, "It's hard to say anything right now. You two are getting scared even before the restaurant opens; this doesn't seem like the style of two big CEOs."

Lin Yuluo and Xiao Yaqing are both big bosses. Even though Lin Yuluo doesn't manage things as much now, she's still a boss.

Xiao Yaqing said, "It's not that we're afraid, we're just more aware of reality. Your vegetables, combined with your decor style and online reputation, make you unrivaled."

Ling Zhenfei said, "That's true, I can foresee that too, but as they say, different people have different tastes. You shouldn't belittle your own restaurant; surely there will be people who choose yours."

Xiao Yaqing said, "I do know some regular customers will come, but I'm worried about the comparisons. Once compared, our reputation will definitely be inferior."

After thinking for a while, Ling Zhenfei said, "Our Xi Shan Restaurant's prices are very high, not everyone can afford to come every day. Additionally, our arrival may bring a lot of traffic to this pedestrian street,

possibly making your restaurant even more popular than it is now. It's hard to tell."

Though what Ling Zhenfei said made a lot of sense, Xiao Yaqing still looked a bit worried.

Lin Yuluo then said, "How about this, I'll suggest an idea, and you two can see if it works."

Both of them looked at Lin Yuluo, and she said, "After Xi Shan Restaurant opens, it will mainly take the high-end route, meaning its prices will be very high, definitely higher than Imperial Palace Hotel's.

Imperial Palace Hotel can hold some events to attract customers from beneath Xishan Manor. Another way is for Imperial Palace Hotel to appropriately use vegetables from Xishan Manor.

For those customers who think Xi Shan Restaurant is too expensive but still want to eat Xishan Manor's vegetables, how about Imperial Palace Hotel satisfy that need? What do you think?"

You have to admit, Lin Yuluo's mind is still very sharp. This is also why she could become the Chairman of Lin's Group back then and then calmly step back.

Xiao Yaqing nodded, "That's the best we can do. I hope it turns out as good as you say. But one thing's for sure, I must use Xishan Manor's vegetables."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Alright, once our Xishan Manor's vegetables arrive, we'll definitely provide them for you to use. Right now, Guo Jia wants exclusive rights for all of Modu, and he's figuring out how to transport Xishan Manor's vegetables here."

"So that's how it is. I'm very curious about how he manages to transport vegetables over such a long distance," Xiao Yaqing said, obviously curious.

"That's not something we can control; we just enjoy the benefits when the time comes," Ling Zhenfei replied.

After the three resolved the issue, their conversation finally lightened up. Ling Zhenfei even felt that there was a reason why Xiao Yaqing could be such a good friend with Lin Yuluo.

This woman was witty and humorous, magnanimous, but sometimes she exhibited the toughness of a female CEO, with a sharp problem analysis, so it was rare for Ling Zhenfei to meet a woman like her.

Among the women Ling Zhenfei met, Ji Mei was very formidable, but Xiao Yaqing and Ji Mei were quite different; Ji Mei had risen through the ranks as a celebrity.

But Xiao Yaqing had entirely clawed her way up on her own, which was remarkable. Building such an enterprise from scratch was very difficult, proving her exceptional skills.

It wasn't until after ten o'clock in the evening that the three of them began to feel a little tired, and then Xiao Yaqing asked Ling Zhenfei to take Lin Yuluo home.

Ling Zhenfei was surprised, because in his mind, since Lin Yuluo had come to find Xiao Yaqing, then Xiao Yaqing should have already arranged a place for Lin Yuluo to stay.

Logically, they might even stay together. If Xiao Yaqing was not staying with Lin Yuluo, then there could only be two situations: first, Lin Yuluo didn't want to stay with Xiao Yaqing.
