Chapter 69: It Would Be Best If The Chef Is Petite And Cute

When the two returned home, it was already evening.

Xiao Yuan finally got back to work. She drove Wen Jin's blue Lamborghini to pick up her boss. As expected, she saw Ruan Jinghong quietly following Wen Jin.

Ruan Jinghong, who was wearing a pure white knitted sweater, was holding her suitcase handle with both hands obediently, appearing even smaller in person.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help being a mother fan: Little one lost a lot of weight in the variety show, but she is still 100% cute.

Seeing that the two had already walked out of the gate, she took the initiative to go forward to hold the suitcase, which was Ruan Jinghong's suitcase.

Ruan Jinghong, now empty-handed, froze for a moment, and carefully said: "Teacher Wen is over there."

Xiao Yuan came back to her senses and froze: How could I be tempted by cuteness by accident, and leave the boss behind?

She hurriedly used her free other hand to pick up Wen Jin's suitcase, but was rejected.

"No need, you can just carry that suitcase."

Xiao Yuan spent two seconds analyzing her boss's micro-expression, and made sure that what she said was true and there was no irony in it. Only then did she safely drag Ruan Jinghong's small pink box to lead the way ahead.

Anyway, little one is now the boss's girlfriend, serving the boss's girlfriend is also the duty of a qualified assistant.

Xiao Yuan found a reasonable explanation for her behavior just now in her heart.

Wen Jin looked at the pink box that was bouncing on the ground, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth: It seems that the little thing is more popular than expected.

At this time, Ruan Jinghong, who was a junior, had the nerve to be alone and empty-handed. Seeing that her suitcase had been taken away by Xiao Yuan, she walked up to Wen Jin.

"Teacher Wen, why don't you leave your suitcase to me."

Wen Jin understood Ruan Jinghong's temperament, if she was left empty-handed, she would definitely feel uncomfortable. But her suitcase is much heavier than her little pink suitcase.

"Then can you carry half of it for me?" Wen Jin said, as she gave up half of the width of the handle.

Ruan Jinghong watched as Wen Jin tightly gripped half of the handle of the suitcase, thinking that she was the type of person who needed to hold her belongings tightly in her own hands. Without any objections, Ruan Jinghong reached out and shared half of the weight of the luggage with her.

The handle of the suitcase was not very wide, and their palms holding onto it unavoidably touched each other. As they walked forward in sync, there was a slight friction between them.

Ruan Jinghong felt an itch on the back of her hand from the friction, but she couldn't easily withdraw her hand at that moment. She could only stare at the stone pavement beneath her feet, focusing on moving forward.

Fortunately, the parking lot was not far from there. Xiao Yuan naturally placed her pink suitcase into the car's trunk and then turned to take the suitcase from Wen Jin's hand.

Ruan Jinghong, who originally planned to take a taxi home, saw her own quiet little suitcase lying in the trunk and belatedly thought about speaking up.

But in that instant when Ruan Jinghong was about to speak, Wen Jin already understood her intention. "It's on the way, I'll give you a ride."

Ruan Jinghong naturally didn't believe it: Whether it is Teacher Wen's company or her own villa, how could it be on the way to my complex?

But since Wen Jin had already offered, she couldn't ignore the goodwill, so she obediently sat in the back seat.

By the time the car reached Ruan Jinghong's complex, it was already late at night, and there were few pedestrians around.

The security guard saw it was a Lamborghini and let them through without any hassle.

Wen Jin got out of the car together with Ruan Jinghong and handed the pink suitcase to her.

"Don't forget, you owe me a meal."

Ruan Jinghong remembered this and quickly inquired about Wen Jin's food preferences.

"Do you have any preferences in terms of food, Teacher Wen? I want to make a reservation for tomorrow morning."

"I don't have any taboos. Let's discuss the details tomorrow."

Taking advantage of the cover of the night, Wen Jin now playfully ruffled Ruan Jinghong's head without any hesitation.

It continued for several seconds, satisfying her urge before reluctantly letting go: "Go back and rest early. See you tomorrow."

Ruan Jinghong obediently stood in place, allowing Wen Jin to mess up her smooth and obedient long hair. She couldn't help but think: This is some strange hobby Teacher Wen.

Finally granted amnesty, she pulled her suitcase and waved to Wen Jin while walking forward, "See you tomorrow. Good night, Sister Xiao Yuan."

"Good night," Wen Jin watched as the petite figure in white gradually moved further away until it completely disappeared in the corridor. She then turned to Xiao Yuan and said, "Let's go back too."

Ruan Jinghong returned to her small room, finding a layer of dust covering the table after being away for a few days. She briefly tidied up the room, temporarily placing the suitcase aside. It was only after she finished her tasks that she remembered she should give a call to her agent, Shen Yun.

Most people were already asleep at this hour, but Ruan Jinghong knew that Shen Yun was probably still busy worrying about the affairs of the company's artists.

As expected, the phone connected in just a couple of seconds, and a familiar female voice came from the other end.

"Xiao Ruan, have you returned to China? Did the variety show go well? How did you get along with the other guests? Did the director say anything to you..."

Facing Shen Yun's barrage of questions, Ruan Jinghong obediently answered one by one.

"Sister Yun, I just returned home. The filming of the variety show went smoothly, and I got along well with the guests. As for the director, she didn't say anything..." 

After receiving the reply, Shen Yun took reassurance. Running on behalf of the few underachievers, while worrying about Ruan Jinghong who is far away in a foreign country.

The black hot search turmoil caught her by surprise, but luckily things turned around soon afterwards.

Seeing that Ruan Jinghong returned to the country safely now, it is finally a matter of peace.

Shen Yun flipped through the scripts that had been delivered to her over the past couple of days, all of which specifically requested Ruan Jinghong to audition. It seemed that the short few days of filming the variety show had indeed brought her a lot of popularity.

As Shen Yun looked at the one who was the most clueless among the group of young artists she initially brought in, but now had become the most promising one, she couldn't help but feel happy for her in her heart.

After Ruan Jinghong finished reporting everything, Shen Yun finally spoke, holding the script in her hand.

"Xiao Ruan, rest well tonight and come to the company tomorrow. We'll discuss your upcoming schedule. There are several roles inviting you for auditions these days, and I have a hunch that you're going to make it big!" 

Whether Ruan Jinghong would become famous or not, she didn't know, but...

"Sister Yun, can I take a day off tomorrow?"

Shen Yun didn't expect that Ruan Jinghong, who had always worked hard in the past, would take the initiative to ask for a vacation, and frowned slightly.

"Vacation? Xiao Ruan, I know it was hard work for you to return to China after filming the variety show, but you are now in a rising period, and finally you have so many opportunities, you must seize them."

Ruan Jinghong who was busy on the other end of the phone, nods, though no one could see.

"I know, I just promised to invite someone to a meal, and I shouldn't break my promise. I will come to the company the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow."

Shen Yun is still a little unwilling, "There is a chance for meal anytime. Those friends of yours also know what your job is, so they should be able to understand your busyness. Hey, who did you agree to invite to dinner?"

Shen Yun's tone was not harsh, but Ruan Jinghong still felt the lesson, she bit her lip.

"It's...it's Teacher Wen. She took care of me a lot when we were filming variety shows together these few days."

Shen Yun was taken aback when she heard this,Wen... who filmed the variety show with you...Movie Queen Wen? I approved this vacation. You better show some gratitude to her and it would be even better if you could keep in touch with her in the future. How many people want to climb up to Queen Wen but had no chance. You have hit the big luck this time. It is rare that she is willing to have dinner with you. Is one day of vacation enough for tomorrow? I should give you an extra two days.

Ruan Jinghong didn’t expect that Shen Yun, who has always been stern and selfless, would change her face so quickly when Wen Jin was mentioned, and asked in a hurry.

That's enough, that's enough. We'll have the meal tomorrow, and afterwards, I'll resume my normal work."

In fact, even without Shen Yun's constant reminders, Ruan Jinghong herself was quite career-oriented, or rather, driven by the desire to earn money.

After ending the call with Shen Yun, Ruan Jinghong then remembered that she needed to make some preparations for tomorrow's treat.

Although Wen Jin said that she has no taboo, it is impossible for her to really invite someone to eat at a roadside restaurant.

So she opened a gourmet app and filtered through the nearby restaurants with high ratings and high prices. Many of them required advance reservations, so she had to pass on those for now.

Looking at the average cost per person for a meal displayed on the website, which could cover her food expenses for half a month, Ruan Jinghong endured the heartache and added all these establishments to her favorites.

Ruan Jinghong glanced at her remaining balance in the bank account and encouraged herself internally.

Ruan Jinghong, be generous. Teacher Wen has been so good to you and helped you so much. Treat her to a nice meal and make her happy. It's worth more than anything else.

So she temporarily ignored the shock caused by the prices of these restaurants and carefully compared the differences in their flavors.

There were Japanese cuisine, French fine dining, Sichuan specialties, and Huainan snacks...

Ruan Jinghong took notes on each different style of food, but she still couldn't make up her mind.

She glanced at the time on her phone: At this hour, Teacher Wen should have already returned to her villa.

So she carefully composed a text message: "Teacher Wen, I've just selected a few restaurants that would be suitable for our meal tomorrow. But I'm not sure if you prefer Chinese cuisine or international cuisine. If it's Chinese cuisine, do you prefer southern dishes or northern dishes?"

Ruan Jinghong sent the message, thinking that Wen Jin might not see it so quickly. However, to her surprise, she received a reply shortly after.

"I prefer Chinese cuisine, especially southern dishes, and it would be even better if the chef is petite and cute."

Petite and cute chef?

Ruan Jinghong stared at the message, doubting her own eyes.

To have preferences for the chef's physique just for a meal, Teacher Wen is really particular.

Ruan Jinghong looked at her collection and decided to eliminate the options of international cuisine and northern restaurants. Finally, her gaze settled on Sichuan cuisine and Suzhou snacks.

She nodded with satisfaction.

Both of these options belonged to southern cuisine, which should align with Teacher Wen's preferences. Perhaps tomorrow morning, I should go early and check out these places, see which chef is more petite and cute.
