Xiao Yaqing was stunned, and it took her several seconds before she said, "Maybe you're right, it's just that I haven't let go myself."

After speaking, Xiao Yaqing actually shed tears, leaving Ling Zhenfei astonished. Clearly, Xiao Yaqing and Lin Yuluo had a good relationship.

Ling Zhenfei said, "You don't need to worry. It's possible that when Lin Yuluo truly lets go, she might appear before you with her real Prince Charming."

Xiao Yaqing nodded: "Originally, when I saw you, I planned to give you a good scolding. Now it seems like you're the only one who sees things clearly, not sad at all.

By the way, why do you look like you don't care at all? Isn't Lin Yuluo leaving you supposed to make you sad, or do you have so many women around you that you're simply not sad?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Does being sad necessarily mean you have to show it? That's not how I see things at all. Just assume I was never sad."

Ling Zhenfei took a few bites of the dish, found it quite good, really made by an expert, and tasted nice.

At this moment, Xiao Yaqing asked, "How many women do you have around you, Ling Zhenfei? Tell me."

Ling Zhenfei didn't expect Xiao Yaqing's tone to suddenly change, as if she turned into a curious little girl.

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "That's hard to say, they are truly countless. Which girl doesn't go crazy when she sees me? So, make sure to keep an eye on your own girls, don't let them see me."

Xiao Yaqing laughed heartily and said, "Could it be that all those things online are true?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Just assume they're true, and it's all stuff they've discovered, there are even more they haven't found, wouldn't you say?"

Xiao Yaqing said, "During the Tangcheng scandal, I kept track of it all. Back then, the internet said you were a jerk, and I actually defended you. It turns out I was wrong, you really are a jerk."

Ling Zhenfei was truly helpless, seems like the word 'jerk' is inseparable from himself.

Ling Zhenfei said, "No need to defend me; people online can say whatever they like. If there are people who like you, there will be those who don't. It's their freedom."

Xiao Yaqing smiled and said, "You sure seem to have an open mind, really impressive."

Ling Zhenfei said, "What do you mean by that? Anyway, why did you invite me over for a meal? Surely it's not just to talk about this, you could have said it over the phone."

Jiang Hui said, "This is just one matter; also about the restaurant. You know, currently, my restaurant is using a few types of Xishan Manor vegetables, but the variety is too limited. Can we add one or two more kinds?"

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback; the Imperial Palace Grand Hotel does use certain Xishan Manor vegetables, which was decided back then because of Lin Yuluo.

No wonder Xiao Yaqing started by talking about Lin Yuluo, she was really worried that now Lin Yuluo has no connection with Ling Zhenfei, Ling Zhenfei might retract the vegetable usage rights.

Then she discussed her relationship with Ling Zhenfei to secure more vegetable usage rights.

It suddenly made sense; while Lin Yuluo's issue is crucial, Xiao Yaqing's main concern is the restaurant's vegetables.

Ling Zhenfei said, "The Imperial Palace Grand Hotel and Xi Shan Restaurant are directly competing, and they're very close in distance. I've already provided several types of vegetables, but giving you more would be like shooting myself in the foot. What's in it for me?"

Xiao Yaqing said, "Do your restaurants even need to compete? Look at the lines during meal times; I'm helping you reduce pressure.

If people can't get a seat, they won't come in the future. My restaurant helps distribute some of the crowd, reducing your pressure."

Ling Zhenfei laughed after hearing this and said, "Boss Xiao, this is the first time I've heard someone describe snatching business in such a refreshing way."

Xiao Yaqing was also embarrassed; what she said earlier really was twisted logic, but it seems she has no choice.

Xiao Yaqing said, "Let's discuss further; the price is negotiable."

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's not about the price. Even if I agree, others won't."

As Ling Zhenfei's attitude became firm, Xiao Yaqing's face fell, and her eyes started to well up, looking like tears would fall any moment.

"Ling Zhenfei, are you really going to just watch my restaurant go out of business?"

Ling Zhenfei couldn't bear seeing a girl cry in front of him, and Xiao Yaqing's tearful look truly made him a bit flustered.

"Please don't cry, let's talk things over nicely."

Xiao Yaqing immediately became happy: "You agree?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Not agreeing, but I can go back and discuss it with them."

Xiao Yaqing said, "You're the biggest boss, what is there to discuss? As long as you decide, then you agree. You're just stalling me."

Listening to Xiao Yaqing, she seems a little coquettish, giving Ling Zhenfei a sense of illusion.

Ling Zhenfei seems to see Ji Mei and Xu Yuyu in Xiao Yaqing.

Only they have ever been coquettish with Ling Zhenfei, now there's another Xiao Yaqing, although their relationship didn't seem that deep.

Ling Zhenfei said, "This is not child's play, can't just do whatever I want. When I offered you the vegetables, it was already under heavy scrutiny."

Xiao Yaqing wiped her tears and said, "Oh well, Jiang Hui won't agree, I guess I have to find another way. If there truly is no solution, I can only shut it down."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned and said, "Come on, Boss Xiao, you don't have to make it sound so desperate. Even if your business is slightly affected by Xi Shan Restaurant, it's not to the point of closing."

Xiao Yaqing said, "Actually, you don't know, due to your Xi Shan Restaurant, many shareholders of my Imperial Palace Restaurant have lost confidence and are withdrawing investments, I really am in trouble now.

I think if I can use Xishan Manor vegetables, and make customers feel our taste has improved, then I might continue running, and win back the shareholders."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned after hearing this and said, "No way, do those shareholders lack foresight that much? Besides, what's the investment in your restaurant?"

Xiao Yaqing said, "Several billion, I suppose."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea, don't know if it'll work."

Xiao Yaqing said, "What idea, tell me."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Since there are shareholders withdrawing, let them withdraw. Preferably all of them, and once they're all out, I'll invest, how about that?"
