She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

"Brother Quan, why are you following them?"

Wu Zhongquan remained silent, his face grim.

The woman nestled beside him, not daring to say another word.

It took less than ten minutes to walk to the ground floor of the Huanyu Building.

Watching Fang Li and Ji Tiantian enter the Huanyu Building, Wu Zhongquan smiled coldly and instructed the driver, "Let's go."

The car turned around and left.

...6 PM.

"Sister Fang Li, I'll be going now," Ji Tiantian said as she packed her bag and finished tidying up her desk.

Fang Li was flipping through the interview materials she had selected when she looked up and smiled, "Okay, be careful on the road."

"Uh-huh."

Ji Tiantian lived far away and needed to catch the bus, so she left in a hurry without lingering after saying that.

The huge studio was now empty except for Fang Li.

After reviewing all the interview materials, she leaned back in her chair, looking somewhat tired.

Just then, the cell phone on the table rang.

She took a look and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

"Hey."

"Are you done with your work? I'm downstairs."

Upon hearing this, Fang Li immediately got up and saw a beam of car lights shining downstairs through the window. She quickly took her bag off the clothes rack and left.

"Coming, wait a moment."

The man's voice was low and husky, with a slight smile: "No need to rush, take your time to pack."

downstairs.

Neither Lin Mo nor Jiang Bei were to be seen. Han Xi was leaning against the car, and behind him was not the Maybach from the morning, but a gray Porsche Cayenne.

"are you hungry?"

Seeing Fang Li jogging towards him, Han Xi naturally reached out and took the bag from her hand.

Fang Li paused for a moment, then let go of his hand. "It's alright."

Han Xi opened the car door and smiled slightly: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat."

Fang Li nodded and bent down to sit inside.

Han Xi closed the car door, picked up her bag, and walked around to the front of the car to get in.

The car started and turned out of the parking lot to merge into the traffic.

"You've had a busy day. Are you tired?"

Fang Li: "Fortunately, I found an assistant. Although she is young, she is very efficient."

"That's good." Han Xi turned the steering wheel, and the car drove steadily. "Should we start recruiting next?"

"Yes, I screened more than a dozen resumes today, and I plan to conduct a round of interviews with them all tomorrow."

"Should I ask Lin Mo and Liu Nian to come and help you? They have a lot of insights into interviewing people and can give you some advice."

Fang Li smiled faintly: "No need. With the current size of the studio, we don't need many people. I want to do it myself."

Han Xi nodded: "Tell me if you have any difficulties."

"it is good."

As the two chatted, the car soon turned an intersection and they could see the words "Tan Palace" in the distance.

"There's a Tan Palace in the capital too?"

She had always thought that the Tan Palace only existed in Hangzhou.

The car pulled into the gate, Han Xi unbuckled his seatbelt and got out, Fang Li followed.

He casually tossed the keys to the parking attendant beside him, picked up her bag, and came over, a smirk playing on his lips. "The one in Hangzhou is just a branch; this is the first Tangong."

Fang Li pursed her lips and looked up. Sure enough, the words "Main Store" were written on the golden plaque above the door.

She smiled and said, "I always thought the owner of Tan Palace was from the South, since their Southern cuisine is quite good. I never imagined that its origin was in the capital."

As the two entered, the lobby was bustling with people coming and going. There were quite a few people sitting in the waiting area on the side, and the staff in suits immediately came to greet them.

Upon seeing Han Xi, the other party immediately bowed and was about to say something when Han Xi raised his hand to stop him, saying, "The Tan Palace in the capital is somewhat different from the Tan Palace in Hangzhou. You can try it properly later."

He turned to the staff member and said, "Give me a menu."

After saying that, the staff member nodded and left. He personally led Fang Li upstairs with ease, all the way to the third floor, and stopped at the private room at the end of the corridor.

The noise downstairs had subsided and become quiet here.

He pushed open the door, turned around and made a very gentlemanly gesture to Fang Li. Fang Li smiled and stepped inside.

The private room was very large, and its furnishings and decorations exuded luxury and prestige.

Fang Li looked around, walked over and stood upside down by the window, saying, "Xu's Group also has catering brands, but unfortunately most of them are similar to the current fast-moving consumer goods catering. None of them can achieve the same level of popularity among diners as Tan Palace."

"Really?" Han Xi walked towards her, saying as he went, "The boss of Tan Palace will be very happy to hear that such high praise is given by a future well-known editor."

Fang Li chuckled: "What famous editor? That's nothing yet."

As the two were talking, a black sedan slowly drove in from downstairs and stopped at the door.

Han Xi's smile faltered slightly, and his tall figure glanced sideways at the window, the curve of his lips softening gently.

He looked away and raised an eyebrow at her: "Don't you believe me?"

Fang Li smiled without saying a word.

“You may not trust me, but I can trust you.” He pushed Fang Li into a chair, bent down to grab the menu from the side and stuffed it into her hand: “Let’s order first, I’ll go make a phone call.”

"Ah."

Watching the man stride away, Fang Li opened the menu in her hand.

Private room next door.

As soon as Han Xi entered, the manager of Tan Palace followed him in.

"Mr. Han."

"Do you see that car?"

The store manager leaned closer to the window, looked out, and nodded: "I see it."

"Remember those two people, and tell everyone that Dan Palace will not do business with those two people."

"Yes!"

The store manager didn't hesitate at all when Han Xi spoke. He responded with a 'yes' and then turned and hurriedly left.

Han Xi stood in the private room for a few seconds before turning around and returning to the next private room.

Downstairs at the Tan Palace.

A man and a woman, both wearing masks and hats, entered the room hand in hand.

"The food at this restaurant is really delicious. I used to eat here all the time in Beijing before I went to Hangzhou. After I went to Hangzhou, I missed it. I didn't expect that a branch would open in Hangzhou so soon. It's a pity that some dishes can only be found at the original store. You must try them today."

"With business so booming, are you sure there are seats available?" Under his hat, Song Yuchen frowned slightly.

Yu Wei raised her eyebrows smugly, "You don't know this, do you? I'm a regular customer of this store. The manager and the staff all know me. Watch me."

The two didn't go to the waiting area to get a number after entering the room; Yu Wei pulled Song Yuchen directly towards the front desk.

She walked up to the front desk, pulled down her mask, and said to the staff, "Hello, could you please find me a private room?"

In Yu Wei's mind, her face had become a kind of ubiquitous symbol.

She is a big star, especially among young people, and has a large number of fans.

Many of the staff at Tangong Palace are also her fans. They used to serve her attentively every time she came, and even gave her a lot of perks.

This time, however, things did not develop as she had expected.

The receptionist looked up at her, but instead of being as excited and attentive as usual, she said in a businesslike manner, "Sorry, the private rooms are all full. If you would like to dine, please go over there and get a number."
