My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 754 - 760 received ten thousand yuan_1

"My surname is Zhou, and I’m going to make the payment now!"

"Alright, do you know where our shop is located?" Xuexue asked further.

"I don’t know, sorry for the trouble!"

Xuexue gave a detailed address, told her how to get there, what buildings were around, and only then hung up the phone.

Lin Xiangwan made a hushing gesture, whispering subconsciously, "Leave it to you here, I’ll come back when the payment is collected!"

Xuexue confidently smiled, giving an ’ok’ gesture. "Sister, rest assured, I’ve got this covered. I’ll show you, I can handle not just food-related stuff, but anything else as well!"

Lin Xiangwan smiled. "Good!"

She had just stepped out the door when Zhou Ziqing’s car pulled up at the front.

Xuexue observed the woman walking in and asked cheerily, "Hello! Are you Miss Zhou?"

Zhou Ziqing nodded. "That’s correct!"

"Hello, please come in!" Xuexue gestured for Zhou Ziqing to enter as she walked inside.

Zhou Ziqing took a look inside, observing the décor style of the room. "The way the furniture is paired with the curtains and wallpaper is very tasteful – it’s quite pleasing to the eye!"

"Of course, our designers are all incredibly talented. This isn’t simply about learning – it’s innate aesthetic and creative abilities!" Xuexue casually replied. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Indeed, talent is required!"

"But our designer is great. She’s not someone who lacks money. She just appreciates those who value her aesthetic perspective and wants to spread this sense of beauty to others. Home is a haven for rest, and if it is comfortable, one can rest better. Better rest allows you to earn more money and perhaps even enhance your taste!"

"What you said makes a lot of sense, but I’m not here to design a home. I’m here to plan a birthday dinner!" Zhou Ziqing reminded.

Xuexue inwardly bit her tongue, damn, she had forgotten their purpose. "Of course, we can design a very warm and intimate birthday dinner as well. I forgot to mention, our designer recently came back from abroad – foreigners love romance!"

"Is the designer, Ms. Lin, from abroad? Which country?"

Xuexue inwardly wanted to kick herself again. Why did she have to talk so much?

What do you mean from abroad? How could she forget that Zhou Ziqing herself had recently returned from abroad?

"It’s like this, many of our designers have returned from France!" Xuexue changed the topic from just one designer to many.

"Oh... That’s good. I just love European styles, they’re so traditional, unlike American styles which are overly simplistic!"

"Good!"

Xuexue didn’t dare to say more this time, she directly pulled out the bill. "Miss Zhou, you’re only pre-paying for the first three days, correct?"

Zhou Ziqing nodded. "Correct!"

"Oh, in that case, for the scale of birthday dinner you’ve mentioned, usually it would take about five days for the designing. Are you sure three days would suffice? My concern is not for us but for you. If the plan isn’t completed in three days, but Ms. Lin has already committed to another project, what will you do?" Xuexue asked worriedly. "Of course, if you’re fine with three days, that’s no problem. After all, saving even one day’s fee isn’t a small amount..."

What Zhou Ziqing hated the most right now was people implying she lacked money, it was as if they had slapped her in the face. "No, money is absolutely not a problem. If it should be five days, then so be it. A mere ten thousand is not a big deal, it’s just the cost of one meal!"

Xuexue immediately revealed an admiring look and flattered, "Miss Zhou, at a glance, you look like a rich person. Your boyfriend must be quite wealthy and dotes on you, right?"

Zhou Ziqing smiled complacently. "Hmm, my boyfriend is indeed good to me, but I haven’t spent his money. All this money I’ve earned myself!"

With that, she pulled out her credit card and handed it to Xuexue.

The latter quickly swiped her card, not daring to delay even a minute.

Soon, ten thousand had been transferred to their account. Xuexue promptly handed her the card back. "Miss Zhou, you’re so admirable – being such a strong and independent woman. Plus, your boyfriend’s so well-off to boot. Seeing you really makes me feel like dying!"

"Don’t say that, it’s truly admirable for a girl to be financially independent!"

"Hehe, I have no choice. If I don’t go out and work, I simply couldn’t survive at home." Xuexue lamented.

Of course, she wasn’t talking about money, but rather escaping from the nagging of her mother, the worry of her father, and overprotectiveness of her elder brother.

She didn’t want to be subject to their constant control at home. She would go crazy.

"In most contemporary households, it’s common for girls to go out and work. Otherwise life could be really difficult!" Zhou Ziqing said sympathetically, demonstrating her superior posture.

Xuexue understood what she meant but chose not to explain. "Miss Zhou, this is your receipt, I will arrange for our designer, Ms. Lin, to contact you as soon as possible!"

"You won’t delay my project, will you?" Zhou Ziqing asked concernedly, even after paying.

"Rest assured, we’ll certainly do the work once we’ve received your payment!" Xuexue replied with a sweet smile.

Zhou Ziqing nodded, feeling reassured. Then, she added, "I just realized your shop is quite close to Ai Shang’s, only a few doors apart!"

Xuexue, wearing a stylish wig and dressed fashionably yet tastefully, smiled, "Yes, we’re quite close by!"

"How’s their business?"

"Not bad at all!"

"What about the boss of their shop? Why is the business doing so well? Is there something unsanitary about their food?"

"How could it be? Their food is super delicious! I gain weight if I eat at other places, but not when I eat there!"

"Oh, anyway, I know their boss, and she’s not that great a person. Little sister, you should cut down on eating their food in the future, don’t end up sick!"

"Hehe, sure, I understand!"

Xuexue responded with a smile.

Just then, Lin Xiangwan, who had received Xuexue’s WhatsApp message, reentered the shop.

Zhou Ziqing, who was about to leave, was completely taken aback to see Lin Xiangwan here. "Why are you here?"

Lin Xiangwan looked slightly taken aback. "That’s what I should be asking you. Why are you here?"

Zhou Ziqing suddenly understood and pointed at Lin Xiangwan’s nose. "Are you the designer here?"

"Yes, that’s me!" She said, looking wide-eyed.

Zhou Ziqing shook her head disbelievingly. "Aren’t you running a Spicy Hot Pot restaurant? How come you’ve opened this shop?"

"Hehe, let’s just say this shop is also mine!" Lin Xiangwan said smugly.

"Also yours?"

"Yes! It was originally going to be called ’Home of Love’, but someone had already registered that name, so I had to change it."
