Corporate slave? Pshaw, I'm the richest woman now!

This assistant is truly a wonderful person.

He is quiet, calm, and meticulous, like a high-IQ, high-EQ robot operating at high speed.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

Tang Tang nodded readily. This small favor wasn't even worth mentioning. Putting aside the fact that this whole thing was a stunt orchestrated by Chi Ningbei's business, Tang Tang was deliberately implying that Chi Ningbei owed her a huge favor.

However, Chi Ningbei's favor isn't worth much money, and she's not going to do anything that doesn't benefit her.

"I trust you, Ms. Tang. Thank you, Chairman Chi!"

Wu Xiaoxiao thanked the group, then smiled brightly. "Miss Tang, Chairman Chi, I led the planning of all the arrangements for tonight, so Manager Song's departure will not affect our dinner."

She recovered quickly; with just a deep breath, she could immediately perk up and continue her work.

But neither Tang Tang nor Chi Ningbei were ruthless, so Tang Tang looked at Wu Xiaoxiao and said gently, "You can go and rest. Tonight is not an important occasion."

How could it not be an important occasion?

Wu Xiaoxiao is a veteran of Amun, having worked here for five or six years. Tonight is the first time Amun has completely booked the entire place, and it's just for one dinner.

That's absolutely impossible, so Wu Xiaoxiao just smiled gently and said firmly, "Ms. Tang, please rest assured, this is my job."

Since that's the case, Tang Tang didn't bring it up again. She left Wu Xiaoxiao with a few words of encouragement, "I wish you all the best tomorrow."

"Ms. Tang, please enjoy your meal."

Wu Xiaoxiao bowed slightly, watching Tang Tang's cheerful departing figure, and felt a warmth in her heart.

Tang Tang had just entered the banquet hall when she saw Chi Ningbei leaning against the wall, standing straight with his head down, looking at his phone.

She walked over in a few steps, her high heels clicking lightly on the marble floor.

Chi Ningbei looked up and said, "Miss Tang, I'm sorry to have made you watch this farce."

Although he wanted to get Tang Tang involved in a business deal targeting the Chi family, he had no intention of showing Tang Tang any of these schemes.

But for some reason, apart from our first meeting, every time I met Tang Tang afterward, some inexplicable people would always appear.

“It’s alright,” Tang Tang said frankly. She looked up at Chi Ningbei, shrugged slightly, and joked, “Many people have told me that the Chi family is a mess, a chaotic mess full of trouble.”

That's really going too far.

Chi Ningbei's expression was gentle, as if Tang Tang wasn't criticizing the Chi family at all. He occasionally chuckled and chimed in, "Yes, the Chi family is rotten to the core. There isn't a single good person in it."

Ah this.

Chi Ningbei shook his head and handed a menu to Tang Tang. "The head chef is a graduate of the Apicius International Hotel Management School in Italy. I think his cooking should suit Miss Tang's taste."

Tang Tang paused abruptly as she took the menu. The pearls on her manicure shimmered under the light. She tapped her fingertips together, looked up at Chi Ningbei, and chuckled, "Mr. Chi, do you know I'm from Italy?"

"I am not aware of Miss Tang's background."

Chi Ningbei gestured to the waiter next to him to get the wine from his wine cabinet, then looked at Tang Tang and said, "I was very impressed with Miss Tang when we first met, and I have a good impression of her."

He was brought back to the Chi family as an illegitimate child, with the purpose of being used as a whetstone for the brothers.

Illegitimate children are the most despicable.

However, Chi Ningbei initially had no interest in the Chi family's assets because he thought the Chi family was filthy and, apart from their so-called wealth, was nothing but a joke.

His mother did not actively become a mistress; at that time, she was a beautiful college student, innocent, pretty, gentle, and charming.

He was then deceived by his married father.

From the moment he entered the Chi family, he was no longer in control of his own destiny; even if he didn't want to fight, he was forced to.

It's a pity that no one expected that the seemingly gentle and easy-going, lowly illegitimate son would win.

"How come you have feelings for me? Did Mr. Chi fall in love with me after just one meeting?"

Tang Tang looked at the menu and was very satisfied. The menu not only had English and Italian, but also a special Chinese version.

Unlike some restaurants that use only English menus in the name of so-called sophistication and think they are very high-class.

Please, this is China, we have to label it with Chinese characters.

The bread served before the meal was chosen by the chef; Tang Tang looked behind her.

"For appetizers... Capri salad, stuffed mushrooms, and Italian windmills."

Tang Tang looked up at Chi Ningbei, "Where is Mr. Chi?"

Chi Ningbei simply shrugged and said, "Although the banquet is mine, I really don't know anything about Italian cuisine."

What could Tang Tang do?

Although she had no knowledge of Italian cuisine, she hadn't forgotten that her persona was that of the eldest daughter of an Italian family.

It's okay. Even though she doesn't understand, she can pretend!

Moreover, with such a great chef here, the food won't be too bad.

"In that case, I'll order according to my preference."

Tang Tang nodded seriously and calmly said, "One cold cut platter, crab lasagna with garlic cream and shrimp pasta, king crab for seafood, and tiramisu for dessert."

"The chef is free to add any other troubles."

The waiter quietly took the menu and left. Not far from the restaurant, a performer was playing the violin, the music melodious and beautiful. Fresh red roses were placed on all the tables at the banquet, creating a romantic atmosphere.

"I hope my wine collection will satisfy Miss Tang."

Chi Ningbei took the bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and gently opened the cork.

This is an Amarone red wine from Domaine Quindalelli, made from grapes personally selected by the winery's founder, Giuseppe Quindalelli. The winemaker has since passed away, and this is one of only six bottles remaining in the world.

[A bottle of this wine costs approximately $60, but it's unavailable.]

The system played educational videos in Tang Tang's mind. Tang Tang looked at the deep red wine in her glass, gently swirled the glass, and then took a sip.

"Slightly sour and astringent, but with a unique fruity aftertaste."

"Mr. Chi has truly made a great contribution with his several bottles of Master Giuseppe's works."

She downed the red wine in one gulp, leaving a blurry lip print on the rim of the glass with a few drops of wine. Tang Tang rested her chin on one hand and held the empty wine glass in the other, ambiguously clinking glasses with Chi Ningbei using the side with the lip print.

"Cheers."

Chi Ningbei's eyes darkened slightly. He readily agreed and raised his glass with Tang Tang. He watched as the rim of the glass touched the red lip print, then slowly brought it to his lips and, imitating Tang Tang, drank the wine in one gulp.

The cold appetizers were the first to be served, accompanied by top-quality olive oil and aged Italian balsamic vinegar, as well as different cuts of ham, and the world-famous prosciutto ham with melon.

Uschetta, Italian toast, etc.
