Chapter 2402: Chapter 2205: Cutting Off Someone’s Livelihood Is Like Killing Their Parents (Part 5)
Song Xiaodong opened his eyes and said to Huang Yuansheng, "Go ahead, go ahead, it’s fine."
In Huang Qingyuan and Zheng Lulu’s view, Song Xiaodong was clearly comforting Huang Yuansheng, afraid that he was too nervous.
"What is the background of this Song guy, making Huang Yuansheng scared like this?" Huang Qingyuan thought.
"I just treated him like that, hopefully he won’t hold a grudge? Judging by appearances, this Mr. Song has quite an influence in Minghe; after all, Chu Xianling is one of Beijing’s Three Great Talented Ladies, her taste can’t be that low, choosing an ordinary person. Seems I really misunderstood the situation." Huang Qingyuan grew more fearful the more he thought about it.
"Mr. Song, are you very familiar with Mr. Huang Yuansheng?" Huang Qingyuan cautiously asked Song Xiaodong.
"I don’t know him." Song Xiaodong said as he moved chicken skin onto Chu Xianling’s plate.
"Then... why did Mr. Huang suddenly let us off, just like that?" Huang Qingyuan asked again.
"No idea, maybe because of your reputation as President of the Pengcheng Development Bank?" Song Xiaodong said while helping Chu Xianling remove chicken skin from skewers and placing it on her plate.
"Mr. Song, you must be joking, Mr. Huang obviously did it for your sake, truly thanks to Mr. Song, otherwise Lulu and I might have had to suffer financial loss." Huang Qingyuan added.
"You are both bank managers; your families run banks too, what’s a little financial loss to you?" Song Xiaodong didn’t lift his eyelids, speaking as he directly put a piece of chicken skin into his mouth.
"Mr. Song, we were wrong earlier; it was our snobbishness, looking down on you. We’re here to apologize." Zheng Lulu stood up with Huang Qingyuan, bowing in apology to Song Xiaodong.
"Alright, alright, it’s not entirely your fault, you are both classmates of Chu Xianling, no need to make it formal, sit down." Song Xiaodong waved them off.
"Alright, alright."
Soon, Huang Yuansheng returned with a few waiters carrying dishes, saying to Song Xiaodong, "Mr. Song, it’s rare to have you here, try our restaurant’s specialty dishes, please serve them up."
"Go ahead, go ahead, I told you it’s fine." Song Xiaodong looked at the lavish dishes added to the table, then spoke to Huang Yuansheng.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Song didn’t notify me you’d be coming, the preparations were really rushed, it’s my last day, if the service isn’t satisfactory, I hope you won’t mind." Huang Yuansheng said to Song Xiaodong.
"This place is indeed nice; spacious, lively, friendly atmosphere, but most importantly, the food is delicious." Song Xiaodong looked around at the people enthusiastically drinking, chatting, and crowding the place, expressing his satisfaction to Huang Yuansheng.
"Mr. Song, you flatter me." Huang Yuansheng nervously and bashfully rubbed his hands."
"Mr. Huang, your barbecue sauce is really tasty, is there a secret to it?" Chu Xianling asked while chewing.
"Lady Song, not hiding anything from you, the sauce recipe we have was bought for a high price; if Lady Song likes it, I’ll send a few bottles to Su Family Courtyard another day, or you can come by any time if you want it, though the outdoor barbecue area is closed, the chefs are still working across at the hotel. If you’d like some, come by anytime, but remember to notify me in advance so I can prepare the specialties for you and Mr. Song. Today was really rushed, unfortunately, we are out of stock now." Huang Yuansheng replied.
"Even if you gave us the sauce, we couldn’t make it taste as good at home." Chu Xianling said.
"Then please come by often, Lady Song and Mr. Song!"
"Definitely."
After a few words with Huang Yuansheng to ease the awkward atmosphere, Chu Xianling sincerely retreated.
Huang Qingyuan, Zheng Lulu, and Zhou Xuan sat nearby, listening as Chu Xianling and Huang Yuansheng chatted effortlessly, causing Huang Qingyuan and Zheng Lulu to break into a sweat.
Huang Qingyuan and Zheng Lulu had oversimplified things; could someone like Chu Xianling really choose an ordinary person?
"Chu Xianling’s husband must have quite a background in Minghe; just one glance scared Huang Yuansheng without any blame, wondering what the background of this Song guy really is." Huang Qingyuan thought.
"Can I boldly ask what Mr. Song does; is he a leader at the Municipal Health Bureau? Why does Huang Yuansheng treat you so respectfully?" Huang Qingyuan couldn’t resist his curiosity, so he asked.
"I’m not any leader, just a businessman; I usually deal in stocks and mergers, make a bit of money." Song Xiaodong humbly replied.
Chapter 2209: Humble yet Low-key
"Mr. Song is really humble yet low-key compared to him, I feel too naive!" Huang Qingyuan said while wiping sweat from his forehead.
"Yes, truly thanks to Mr. Song," Zheng Lulu also said to Song Xiaodong.
"Alright, enough talk, let’s try the new dishes Boss Huang brought us." Song Xiaodong gestured to Zheng Lulu and Huang Qingyuan."
