Chapter 264: The Pitiful ‘Waiting Statue’ Lu Lingyun! (1/2)

Having distributed the books, Bai Xiaofei only gave a few sentences of encouragement. After all, the enthusiasm of the girls on the Blossom Ranking had already gone through the roof without him having to say anything more.

The departure of the beauties also officially announced the complete success of the first stage of his plan. Compared to those already on the Blossom Ranking, the girls who wanted to be on it but had missed their chances were simply too easy to persuade. Bai Xiaofei didn’t have to make the move himself, he only needed to let Yun Jingshuang hand out the books.

Therefore, what Bai Xiaofei had to do now was to prepare the next stage. For this, he must go to see someone – the long-time-no-see boss of the Thousand Aroma Restaurant, Liu Lingyun.

Honestly, Liu Lingyun’s patience was laudable. Just the renovation alone had already taken such a long time, and after the renovation, there had been no movement from Bai Xiaofei, but this fellow didn't even utter a sound, not intending to disturb Bai Xiaofei at all.

Even Bai Xiaofei himself was a little embarrassed for taking so much money from the guy without any visible returns, which was contrary to his principles as a human. Therefore, he even turned down the invitations from Hu Xian’er and the others and immediately ran straight to the Thousand Aroma Restaurant as soon as he handled the Blossom Ranking matter.

Standing at the gate of the Thousand Aroma Restaurant, Bai Xiaofei hesitated for half a second.

Not because he was embarrassed, but because he was afraid. He had developed an allergy to this place. And the allergen was Rui Mengqi!

Every now and then, what had happened the last time he was here still appeared in his sleep in the form of nightmares. The feeling of being scared awake wasn’t pleasant.

Can you imagine having a dream with the breath of romantic spring, when your girlfriend suddenly pushes you away, takes out a big kitchen knife and chases you while chopping and loudly calling you an ungrateful bastard?

Bai Xiaofei didn’t have to imagine, because he already had first-hand experience in his dreams. And the person that called him ‘ungrateful’ was Rui Mengqi!

Let the heavens and earth be the judge, this lord has been wronged!

No matter how scared he was, however, he had to enter. If he didn’t see Liu Lingyun, he might just harvest another kind of nightmare.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Xiaofei took a historic step. Inside, the hostesses were half-asleep. However, it wasn’t that they were unprofessional, but that the Thousand Aroma Restaurant was too cold and cheerless.

“Boss Bai! You’ve come!” exclaimed a hostess immediately the moment she saw Bai Xiaofei. Ever since the end of the renovation, Liu Lingyun had passed down an instruction that whoever received Bai Xiaofei would be rewarded with half a month's salary!

“Are you looking for Director Rui this time?” The girl was very sensible. She didn’t directly mention Liu Lingyun, but tried to anticipate Bai Xiaofei from his perspective.

As for why Rui Mengqi was found in his perspective, don't even ask…

Who in the Thousand Aroma Restaurant didn’t know that Rui Mengqi was parachuted into here because of Bai Xiaofei?

Who didn’t know that Rui Mengqi received Bai Xiaofei personally every time he visited?

Who didn’t know that Bai Xiaofei once gave Rui Mengqi a piece of Crystal’s Longing!

Also, who didn’t know that Rui Mengqi would shout out Bai Xiaofei's name in her dreams!

If someone said there was nothing between them, would you believe it? Well, no one in the Thousand Aroma Restaurant would.

As for how those were known by others, it was very simple. As long as someone asked Rui Mengqi, she wouldn’t hide anything.

“No, I'm looking for Boss Lu.” Bai Xiaofei, who didn’t know anything, didn’t think much about the question and simply stated his purpose.
