Looking at the bustling restaurant, and then at the waiters carrying plates steadily through the crowd. Watching the patient order taker explaining each specialty dish, Bi Xia curled her lips and went to take a look in the kitchen through the back door.
She saw Xia Shi dressed in a chef’s uniform, managing the kitchen. Bi Xia knew that this was what Xia Shi had told her about, each table receiving a dish personally made by her, a unique feature of Xia Family Cuisine.
"Young Master, you’re here. Madam is still busy with her work."
In Xià Family Cuisine, to match the classic decor, all terms of address were changed to those used in ancient tis, setting it apart from other restaurants.
Smiling at the chef who greeted her, Bi Xia said, "Keep up the good work, I’ll head out first."
Nodding at Xia Shi, Bi Xia turned and walked out of the kitchen, starting to greet everyone.
Among them, Chu Hansong pulled Bi Xia aside to introduce her to many notable figures of Qing City. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Bi Xia finally pushed Qu Zian and Wen Yian, who had followed her, out to continue the conversation, excusing herself responsibly.
After making a round, she pushed open the last door.
"Oh! Our boss is finally here!"
As soon as Bi Xia entered, the blast of air conditioning made her pause at the doorway, before turning to look at the half-eaten al of the H Class students.
"Looks like you’ve been waiting for for a while?" Bi Xia raised her eyebrow as she held up her juice cup and asked.
Wu Zhiyuan, with his arm around Zhao Wenxin, said, "Of course, Boss! We’ve been eagerly waiting for you!"
"Exactly, exactly. We were almost finished eating before you got here. Even though today is the opening of Xia Family Cuisine, you didn’t have to be this busy and forget about us. This is our class’s first reunion!" Zhao Wenxin chid in.
Bi Xia said wryly, "Shut up. Look at you two now, always following each other. What will you do in the future? Be more mindful."
"Hey, hey, Boss, you can’t just stir things up like that," Wu Zhiyuan pulled a blushing Zhao Wenxin behind him, "We’re doing great, actually. It’s ’man works outside, woman at ho’. In private, I’m the one who listens to my wife the most."
Bi Xia laughed, "Alright, but let warn you, Wu Zhiyuan! Don’t think that just because I’m your Boss, I’ll always be on your side. Before being your Boss, I’m Zhao Wenxin’s big brother, Zhao Wenxin’s Emperor. If you dare mistreat or wrong Zhao Wenxin, you’ll end up alone. Our H Class will not tolerate cheating scumbags, got it?"
Zhao Wenxin was montarily stunned, clearly not expecting Bi Xia to say such things. Then she grinned and looked smugly at Wu Zhiyuan, "Did you hear that?"
"Yes, Boss!" Wu Zhiyuan stood up straight and answered loudly.
For a mont, everyone burst into laughter. Bi Xia shook her head with a smile, seeing everyone joking and laughing, as Wu Zhiyuan ca over to Bi Xia and ng Chi, "Boss, don’t worry! I’ll treat Wenxin well!"
"Whether you treat her well or not is your business," Bi Xia said with a faint smile, "But let give you just one piece of advice: Wenxin is a girl. If you’re going to do sothing, think carefully if you can bear the responsibility. Otherwise, the one who’ll get hurt is Wenxin, understand?"
Wu Zhiyuan was montarily confused, then quickly got it, his eyes resolute, "I understand, Boss! I, Wu Zhiyuan, will be a responsible, accountable man. Otherwise, I’m not fit to be a mber of H Class! Not only will I despise myself, our class will despise for a lifeti."
ng Chi patted Wu Zhiyuan, "Taking good care of you two!"
Wu Zhiyuan patted ng Chi back, "Of course!"
At this mont, the door was pushed open again, and a flamboyant young man, holding a wine glass, appeared at the door, his charming eyes raised flirtatiously as he leaned against the door fra, "My classmates, did you miss ?"
"Ahhhhh!!! Brother Fei!"
"Brother Fei!"
In an instant, everyone in H Class cheered, rushing forward to pull Xu Renfei into the room. Xu Renfei looked smugly at Bi Xia, "Little Jiu’er, see, my charm is greater than yours!"
Then, Xu Renfei asked, "Darlings, tell , who is the most handso god in your heart?"
The boys and girls of H Class almost simultaneously replied, "Emperor/Boss!"
Xu Renfei: ...Who told you to have a loose mouth!
