Soon, they saw the beautiful waitress who had left earlier return!

At the moment, she was pushing a brand-new serving cart…

"Dear guests, our Chef Zhang has begun preparing the meal. Soon, you'll be able to enjoy it. For now, let me serve you some fresh fruits before the meal. These fruits are very fresh, please try them. I believe you will definitely love them!"

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome! It's what we should do!"

As she responded, the beautiful waitress discreetly glanced at Hu Xiaobei.

Hu Xiaobei noticed her gaze and smiled gently…

The others didn't notice this detail.

Because all their attention was now on the absolutely exquisite pre-meal fruits.

They found the pre-meal fruits to be particularly exquisite…

…

"These are made by the hands of a master chef!"

While they were marveling at this, the beautiful waitress in the black uniform started to carefully arrange them.

Soon, they were all neatly placed…

Glancing at them, the beauty softly introduced, "Ladies and gentlemen, this fruit platter was personally prepared by our Chef Zhang, I hope you like it."

Hearing such soft words, they responded excitedly!

"Thank you, we sure will like it!"

"Then take your time to enjoy, I'll go prepare other things. If you need anything, just call me anytime!"

"Sure!"

Watching her leave, Han Yueyue and the others quickly reached for their phones…

This left Hu Xiaobei, who picked up the chopsticks, somewhat puzzled.

Because Hu Xiaobei didn't understand what they were doing…

Soon, Hu Xiaobei realized they picked up their phones to take photos!

"Girls really like taking photos!"

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Hu Xiaobei put down his chopsticks with a bitter smile.

…

Soon, Hu Xiaobei heard them curiously asking, "Brother Xiaobei, aren't you going to take a few photos? It's not every day you get this kind of opportunity, I recommend taking more to enjoy later!"

"Yes, this fruit platter is arranged personally by a top chef for us!"

"No opportunity? Zhang Tongren is here, so there are plenty of opportunities!"

Mumbling this to himself, Hu Xiaobei said, "Well... I'm not fond of taking photos! Don't mind me, keep snapping away!"

"Alright then!"

Eagerly agreeing, the group continued their serious photo session.

Observing them, Hu Xiaobei learned a lot about how to handle a phone and how to pose…

Three minutes later, they finally put down their phones and picked up their chopsticks!

"It's finally time to eat!"

Murmuring this to himself, Hu Xiaobei also prepared to have a taste.

But then he saw that they still had no intention of digging in with their chopsticks.

"What's this all about now!"

Murmuring this to himself, Hu Xiaobei chuckled dryly, "Why aren't you eating? Could it be that you don't like fruit?"

"No, it's because these fruits are arranged so exquisitely, we can't bear to eat them!"

"Exactly!"

As they spoke, they once again looked at the fruits on the platter…

The fruit was indeed arranged in a very attractive way…

Hearing their strange reasoning, Hu Xiaobei was amused yet exasperated!

"No need to hesitate, food is meant to be eaten, everyone dig in quickly, otherwise, such good ingredients would really be wasted!"

"Well, that does make sense!"

Exchanging looks, they nodded their heads!

Soon, they extended their chopsticks and picked up the various fruits from the platter.

"Wait, after they taste it, they'll definitely be amazed again!"

Seeing them pick up the fruits, Hu Xiaobei muttered softly to himself.

He had absolute confidence in his Xiaobei Brand, so he believed they would be completely amazed after tasting it…

…

"Oh my! The taste is incredible!"

"I've never eaten such perfect fruit before!"

"Me neither!"

"Same here!"

As they spoke excitedly, their eyes lit up.

Previously, they had heard that the brand of raw materials here had changed.

They thought such a change was just a small adjustment…

Now, they realized they were wrong, it wasn't a small adjustment, but a drastic, transformative change.

"Looks like I guessed right again!"

With a bit of pride in his self-talk, Hu Xiaobei picked up a piece of apple and casually took a bite.

After eating, Hu Xiaobei found they were all staring at him in a daze!

Subconsciously touching his face, Hu Xiaobei said very softly, "What is it? Is there something on my face?"

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei was truly puzzled!

Because suddenly, they all were intently staring at him.

Just as Hu Xiaobei finished speaking, Han Yueyue spoke up, "Brother Xiaobei, why do you look so unfazed, is the fruit not tasty?"

"Yeah, exactly!"

They were genuinely confused at this moment!

Because, after Hu Xiaobei ate, his expression remained calm, as if he had eaten it countless times before!

"So that's the issue!"

Mumbling this to himself, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "I think it's really tasty too; I'm just not good at showing expressions."

"Is that so?"

"What else could it be?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's rhetorical question, they exchanged glances, thinking carefully, but truly couldn't come up with any other reason…

So, they chose to believe Hu Xiaobei.

"That was close, almost got found out by them!"

Secretly mumbling this, Hu Xiaobei picked up another piece of apple and gently took a bite.

…

Outside, a specially dressed-up Song Yaling arrived at the kitchen!

"Manager Song!"

Seeing her, everyone quickly greeted her.

They now held Song Yaling in special regard.

Previously, they didn't know Song Yaling and assumed she was just a pretty face.

Later, after getting to know her, they realized she wasn't just a pretty face, but someone with real talent.

"Mmm! The dishes prepared now are to be sent to Hu Xiaobei's table, right?!"

"That's right!"

Hearing the quick confirmation, Song Yaling smiled lightly, "Then let's go together in a bit!"

"Manager Song, that's really unnecessary! It really is!"

Hearing that Song Yaling wanted to accompany them to deliver the dishes, the beautiful waitress quickly shook her head!

She knew she absolutely couldn't let Song Yaling do such things.

Otherwise, it would really be absurd…

Knowing she would refuse, Song Yaling gently waved her hand, "It's alright, it's my choice to do so!"

Saying this, Song Yaling leaned toward the beautiful waitress and whispered something.

After hearing Song Yaling's soft words, she whispered, "Is… is this really okay?"

"It's fine! Just do as I say!"

"Alright! I understand!"

Agreeing, the waitress pushed the serving cart in front…

Song Yaling chuckled softly, followed along with a calm demeanor…

Thinking about meeting Hu Xiaobei soon, Song Yaling self-reflectively murmured with a hint of anticipation, "Xiaobei, I'll see what tricks you're up to shortly!"
