152 Inspection (2/2)

Xiao Luo took in a deep breath before exhaling, opening the door, and stepping out of the car.

Li Zimeng quickly followed him. Her height was already close to 5'6, and her tall figure looked even taller when she was wearing heels. Her hair was tied up neatly in a ponytail behind her head. The skin of her delicate face was egg-white and smooth.

She wore a white sweater with a fashionable long plush jacket complete with black stockings. With her legs exposed, she exuded a sense of temptation that earned her a few looks from men as soon as she walked by.

In contrast to her, Xiao Luo's outfit was much more straightforward. He wore a black sweater with casual black pants. His sleeves were rolled up, exposing his arms. His informal style created a unique sense of aloofness; he was cleanly handsome but cold.

Usually, anyone who stood beside Li Zimeng would be intimidated by her overwhelming presence, but that was not the case for Xiao Luo. His natural confidence allowed him to retain an aura of authority and a powerful ego. He was like a king standing above everyone else, and Li Zimeng was the loyal retainer who stood beside him.

The store was busy with customers, so Xiao Luo purposely didn't bother the busy Sun Jian'an.

Sun Jian'an's face was plastered with a smile. The store's business had improved, and the traces of exhaustion and helplessness Xiao Luo had noticed about him the first time they met had utterly disappeared.

”President Xiao!?”

Sun Jian'an's voice trembled in excitement when he finally noticed Xiao Luo standing right in front of him.

Xiao Luo smiled and asked, ”Mister Sun, how's business now?”

”Good, very good! Ever since that court case was settled, business here has exploded. I haven't seen so many customers come into our store in such a long time.”

Sun Jian'an was very sentimental and thankful. He hadn't thought that Xiao Luo could take the Luo Workshop to the next level. Now, he was filled with the desire to tell his niece, Sun Yu, about Xiao Luo's identity so that she could hold onto this perfect man.

Xiao Luo nodded and remarked, ”That's good!”

”Owner, do you have bread that's good for the elderly to eat? I need something soft. We old folk don't have many teeth left and can't chew hard things,” an older woman walked over and asked Sun Jian'an.

”Of course, we do. It's right over there. I'll show you,” Sun Jian'an answered the customer's question enthusiastically. He remembered that Xiao Luo was here just as he was about to walk away. He turned and gave his boss a problematic smile, saying, ”President Xiao, I…”

Xiao Luo waved him off. ”Don't worry about me. Just go and do your job.”

”Okay,” Sun Jian'an answered and went over to help the woman.

Xiao Luo walked around aimlessly. For a pastry shop and bakery, the environment was the most crucial aspect. A clean, organized store was essential for increasing customer confidence. If the shop were dirty and unorganized, then customers, naturally, would suspect that their products were also unsanitary.

Even though he hadn't exposed his identity, many young part-time employees had guessed who he was. Since Li Zimeng was also following behind this man as timidly as a tail, who else could it be other than the new big boss? Of course, this theory was also confirmed by one of Sun Jian'an's young female workers.

”Wow, so he's our big boss? So handsome!” The awe-struck girl shot a loving glance at Xiao Luo, adding, ”So those TV dramas aren't all fake. There are really rich and powerful CEO types in this world.”

”Hurry up and get a photo. This shop will go down if you miss your chance.”

”I feel like the boss and Department Head Li would make a good couple. A fine man and beauty, we don't possibly stand a chance here.”

”Such a handsome and successful boss—I wouldn't mind being their little third wheel.”

The employees quietly chatted among themselves and attempted to steal a few photos of Xiao Luo while they greeted their customers.
