Chapter 50: Delicious lunch

In the dining hall, Ling Qingyu, Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue sat on their seats, waiting for the dishes brought by Dise from the kitch to arrive. Ling Qingyu and others had volunteered to do so themselves but were advised against it after Dise's insistce.

Dise preferred to do something by herself for now. She said she felt happy serving the dishes and Ling Qingyu couldn't say more.

What caused Ling Qingyu to be flabbergasted was that the two strong Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue were behaving like elegant ladies from a prestigious aristocratic family. Her scalp tingled from disbelief at their transformation.

She was puzzled how Dise had subdued these two wom. Perhaps it was the wisdom and experice that Dise possessed. Or maybe it was the guine respect they had for her.

The time was way past lunch and it was o'clock in the afternoon. Ling Qingyu looked toward the kitch which was connected to the dining hall.

Outside through the glass, the sky was clear as the sunlight reflected from the buildings and landmarks constricted Ling Qingyu's eyes. Ev within the dining hall, she could sse the heat of the day.

Ling Qingyu th glanced at Dise who was busy in the kitch, scooping meals and rice onto the plates. Her gtless and care shrouded the emanating backg.

The aroma permeated across the air and Ling Qingyu's sses were instantly captivated. The tantalizing sct filled the room, causing her stomach to growl in anticipation.

Caught in the spell of the fragrant aroma, Ling Qingyu couldn't help but take a deep breath, savoring every nuance of the delicious sct. She felt her mouth water as it veloped her.

Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue reacted similarly, as their eyes shone with greed, expecting the food to arrive on the table soon.

Dise brought over the dishes and placed them on the table. Humming melodious syllables, she wt back and forth.

With everything set before them, Dise took her seat and signaled the others it was time to indulge in the feast. If one didn't realize the real owner of this place and financial provider of this family was Ling Qingyu, everyone would assume Dise was the master of the tire family.

Ling Qingyu gulped her saliva as she saw the dishes close. An ticing Beef Stroganoff, with its rich greyish-brown cream as a main dish. Gold Frch fries, perfectly crisp and slder as a side one. A refreshing vegetable salad, its vibrant color mixed with a scrumptious sauce for a healthy diet.

"I can only make these in a limited amount of time. I didn't know wh you'll come back. I wish I could do more, especially your favorite meal." Dise obviously wanted to tertain with more varieties of cuisines.

Ling Qingyu grasped her hand gtly. "That'll do, Aunt Dise. We're starving now. Nothing outside is comparable to yours. And I guess, my frids think the same."

"Yes, Aunt Dise, I'm sure this is gonna be the most delicious meal, I'll ever have." Xiao Yue affirmed Ling Qingyu's word.

"Just from the tder and moist ure along with flaming alluring aroma, I'll rate this one, a 5 stars." Tang Ziyi playfully twitched her five fingers as a complimt.

Ling Qingyu, in spite of her memory, was filled with a sse of conttmt relishing the craft from a culinary master for the first time. Her head dug into the sumptuous meal, only raising at times wh she took in more pieces.

"Sister Ling. Have you finished your lunch?"

"I just ate not long ago. You should have eat, right?"

"Yes. I was about to remind you to eat on time." Now Zhao Xiurong was ev preparing to nag her.

"Well, I know my style's unhealthy but sometimes you forget about it wh in full-mode. I'll pay atttion to my behavior, I promise." Ling Qingyu chuckled.

"Good to hear. I just hope it doesn't disappear after a week."

"Haha...I presume you didn't call me for just a meal."

"You know me from inside-out, Presidt Ling." Her change of address made Ling Qingyu realize the topic was related to work.

"I'm a bit hesitant in spding a lot to buy a mere share. I want to lower the price by spreading some rumors about you. Is that okay?" Zhao Xiurong seemed hesitant.

"You can as long as it can help you buy more. I'm sure my returning try will once again raise the whole situation. So, don't worry. Just proceed on what you feel best."

"Alright, Presidt Ling." Ling Qingyu heard a sigh of relief from other side.

"Anything else?"

"Oh yes, I almost forgot. It's about the manor you asked me to search for. I've called someone I know and told him the requiremts. He st me three options, matching yours. I reckon, you might need to talk with him more ."

Ling Qingyu was surprised at her secretary's working pace. A few hours ago, she told her and now she already had the results.

"You work fast, Sister Zhao." Ling Qingyu returned back to her chair.

"It's all for the perct." Her remarks caused Ling Qingyu to laugh. "I've st you the details in your email. I've some works left to do."

"Okay, Sister Zhao. Go ahead, I'll take it from here and ask your real estate frid to give me a call."

"Orders received. Bye, bye."

"Thank you Sister Zhao for your effort. Bye." Ling Qingyu hung up the phone and searched for her mailbox on the scre.
