Park
Chen Li was seen lying on a park bench with his head on Feng Xian’er’s lap; after returning from Yun Zhi’s house, they chose to relax to spend time and went to the park, where they spent their childhood together.
“Now that we’ve got the head chef, which position shall we seek for the restaurant, Hubby?” Feng Xian’er asked as she caressed Chen Li’s long silver hair; she was so mesmerized by the beauty of his silver hair.
Chen Li didn’t immediately answer her question, and he thought about which other position he needed for his restaurant later. “Hmm? Since Aunt Yun is the head chef, let her choose the people she will work with in the kitchen. Mom and Aunt Wei’er can be the manager and financier, respectively. Perhaps we need a head waitress, a hostess, and most importantly, someone for public relations. As for the waitresses and the cashier, we can look for them through newspaper ads or something else.”
“Do you intend to make our restaurant a big business, Hubby?” Feng Xian’er asked in surprise because Chen Li’s words indicated he wanted to set up a big restaurant business.
“En, I will not stop at one restaurant; with the advantages of Tianyi Realm, I believe that there will be no restaurant that can compete with our restaurant in the future.” Chen Li replied with a nod.
Then Feng Xian’er was silent for a while; she thought of her acquaintances first, and before long, she spoke again. “If that’s what you want, then we’ll have to choose people who are experts in the three positions, and it looks like I have quite a few suitable candidates for the three positions.”
“Hmm? Who are they, Xian’er?” Chen Li asked seriously; he was aware that Feng Xian’er had more acquaintances than him, and many of them were also skilled in several fields, as she often helped Feng Ao with his company.
Feng Xian’er smiled mysteriously, then she replied. “Big Sis Xi Ling is qualified to be a head waitress because she has previously worked in that position. Then there’s your cousin Lin Yin, who is cheerful, friendly, and agile, so I think she’d be a good hostess. As for public relations, I think the most suitable person is Big Sis Ai Xiaoxue; she has a lot of experience in that position, but I’m not sure if she wants to work with us.”
“Xi Ling? Ai Xiaoxue?” Chen Li asked as he tried to search in his memory for information about the two people, but he shook his head after a while. “I don’t know them, and in my memory, I have never heard their names before. As for Lin Yin, I’m not close to Mom’s family, so maybe I should ask her to talk to her later.”
“Of course, you don’t know them.” Feng Xian’er said with a chuckle. “Xi Ling is Uncle Xi Ping’s daughter, and Ai Xiaoxue is a former public relations officer at my father’s company. If you agree, I’ll try to talk to them later.”
“En, you can try asking them, Xian’er.” Chen Li nodded in agreement since he had no acquaintances for the position.
“En, I-” Before Feng Xian’er could speak, they had already heard a man talk to her, and his tone sounded mocking.
“Aiyo, isn’t this Xian’er? I remember Bei Xiang telling me before that you only wanted to marry Chen Li, but it turns out that you’re just a cheap woman who likes to date a freak.”
Feng Xian’er and Chen Li turned towards the man, and they saw two men walking towards them: a short red-haired man walking in front and a shoulder-length green-haired man walking timidly behind him.
Chen Li’s anger boiled as soon as he saw them; they were two of the four people who beat him up and left him to die in the forest that night. However, he was also quite grateful to them; it was because of them that his life changed drastically now, as he was able to meet Xiao Huoli and become the sole successor of Song Tianyi.
“You better get out of here, or I’ll beat you up, Yang Chen.” Feng Xian’er said with a snort, then she glared sharply at the shoulder-length green-haired man and spoke to him mockingly. “Do you also want me to beat you up, Bei Qiang? Your father is no match for me, let alone a coward like you.”
Chen Li inwardly laughed with amusement; he had never seen Feng Xian’er so fierce before, as she always acted cute, calm, and sweet in front of him. ‘Somehow, I feel that Xian’er has many sides I never knew.’
Bei Qiang was frozen by her threat, whereas Yang Chen didn’t back down at her threat but instead challenged her. “Heh, do you think I’m afraid of you? Just try to beat me up if you dare.”
Hearing that, Chen Li got up and walked directly before Yang Chen, and he disdainfully spoke. “It turns out that young master Yang is just a coward; he only dares to challenge a woman, and he only dares to gang up on a weak man.”
Both of them frowned, and Yang Chen became enraged. “What did you just say, freak?”
“I said you were just a coward.” Chen Li replied with a nonchalant shrug.
“How dare you!” Yang Chen roared, and his body was instantly enveloped in flames, but his flames were just an ordinary red color like any normal fire, and he hit Chen Li’s chest hard.
*Bam*
“Argh!” The next second, Yang Chen screamed in pain as he held onto his sprained wrist; then, he looked at Chen Li in shock. ‘Why do I feel like I hit an iron?’
Chen Li’s lips curled up, and shook his head. Then he stretched out his hand and grabbed Yang Chen’s dislocated wrist.
“Argh! Let go of my hand!” Yang Chen screamed in pain again as he tried to pull his hand away from Chen Li’s grip, but he gripped his wrist even tighter. “Argh! Quickly let go of my hand! Or I will call all my friends to beat you!”
“Heh, do you think I’m afraid of your gang?” Chen Li said nonchalantly, then he kicked Yang Chen’s stomach hard and sent him flying backward; a moment later, his body slammed into the ground.
“Yang Chen!” Bei Xiang shouted and ran to him, then he helped him up. “Are you all right?”
“Cough!” Yang Chen spat out some blood and yelled angrily at Chen Li, pointing his finger at him. “You… You just wait for my revenge later!”
