"Uncle Tian has carefully examined those two people. Qianwei is knowledgeable, but he is arrogant, very stubborn, and not very considerate of the feelings of those around him. Mingbo is steady and down-to-earth, pays attention to details, but is not good at speaking and appears weak in communication. Although these two are good, they both need some time to hone their skills. Uncle Tian said that in his heart, you are the most suitable candidate."
"Tsk..."
"You usually prefer to plot in the shadows and are used to operating covertly. Don't you think you also have the potential to become a star like Tian Shu?"
"Actually, Uncle Tian mentioned this to me last time, but I didn't agree. He came to you again this time, probably because he thinks I'm one of your people and is afraid you won't be willing to release him."
“Our relationship is not that of a typical superior and subordinate. I have no intention of forcing you to stay. Now that Liyue is missing the Oracle, the position of the Seven Stars is indispensable. We do need someone like you, the Celestial Pivot.”
"..."
“I know you enjoy the feeling of walking on the edge of danger. If you become a Seven Star, you can no longer easily take risks, but I hope you will think about this matter carefully.”
"...Yes, I'll think about it carefully."
Ningguang nodded, then squinted her eyes.
"It's so comfortable to take a bath after a massage like this. It makes me feel like all the fatigue of the day has disappeared."
“If you have money, you can build a bathhouse like this in your Qunyu Pavilion.”
"The main point isn't the bathhouse; hot showers are just an extra. It would be more appropriate to invite Mr. Xia to Qunyu Pavilion as well."
"Indeed."
"Mr. Xia said he would also give me a box of that tea later. I'm also interested in trying to boost my energy levels by drinking more of that tea."
"Highly recommended."
"Just kidding. After your experience, I'd better not."
The two chatted for a while longer before Bai Shi, wrapped in a bath towel and with a slightly flushed face, walked in from outside.
"Lord Ningguang."
"Finished the massage?"
"Ah."
"Come down and soak for a while."
"Uh-huh..."
"Mr. Xia will be cooking later, so we can soak a little longer."
"You guys go to the bar, I've been there all afternoon, so I'm leaving now."
"Row."
Ye Lan stood up from the bath, revealing her beautiful figure without a single scar.
After rinsing herself briefly, Ye Lan dried herself off and took out clean clothes from the bracelet on her wrist to change. She turned her head and saw Ning Guang lying by the pool, smiling at her.
That woman is so rude.
Under Ningguang's watchful gaze, Yelan confidently put on her new clothes.
"You really like wearing leather jackets."
"Because wearing a leather jacket makes it easier to get things done."
"Then why do you keep wearing that cumbersome thing?"
"That's my spoils."
"alright."
Stepping out of the bathroom, the sky outside was already getting dark. Ye Lan gazed into the distance and felt that her eyesight seemed to have improved somewhat.
The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.
Ye Lan went inside and saw Xia Zhi busy at the stove.
"Mr. Xia."
"Miss Yelan is awake?"
"Ah."
"How do you feel now?"
"I feel very relaxed, neither physically nor mentally tired."
"That's good. Don't drink too much tea next time."
"I know, I accidentally fell asleep during the massage, and I don't know who carried me to the bath. I wanted to thank her..."
"Oh, that's actually me."
"Oh? Is this Mr. Xia?"
"Well, after I finished massaging you, you didn't respond when I called you. You seemed to be sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb you. But you were covered in essential oil, so it was inconvenient for you to get dressed. And since the weather is cold now, you might catch a cold if you're only covered with a towel. So I thought about it and carried you to the bathtub to soak in. It's warm in there."
"I see. Thank you so much, Mr. Xia."
"Just a little thing."
"Oh right, I haven't paid for today's massage yet..."
"No need, Miss Ningguang has already paid for you."
"Oh."
"Miss Yelan, please sit down in the front for a while. Dinner will be served shortly."
"it is good."
Ye Lan glanced at Xia Zhi, then silently walked out of the kitchen. She saw everyone still playing mahjong and greeted her with a smile.
She suddenly felt a great sense of peace.
It felt just like being at home.
Chapter 297 Miss Gan Yu, is your family still lacking that?
Dinner was plentiful, with half meat and half vegetables.
After all, this meal was to celebrate Miss Gan Yu winning the chess championship, so Xia Zhi made a point of catering to her tastes.
Miss Gan Yu also ate her fill.
Anyway, with Mr. Xia's amazing skills, she doesn't need to worry about her tendency to gain weight easily.
After the meal, Xia Zhi gave Ningguang, Yun Jin, Gan Yu, and Yan Fei each a box of Silver Dew Tea.
This time he gave a serious reminder: you can only brew one tablet at a time, and even if you're drinking it to stay awake while working overtime at night, you can only brew two tablets at most.
Ningguang smiled and glanced at Yelan.
Ye Lan remained calm, as if she wasn't the last person who had drunk too much tea.
It was completely dark when Ningguang Yelan took her leave, and everyone went for a walk together.
This was the first time Miss Yun Jin had participated in this routine activity at the store.
For big stars, this kind of experience is still quite novel and interesting.
"Boss, tomorrow's Thursday again!"
"Yes, remember to buy chicken and potatoes."
"I won't forget it!"
"And small fish!"
"Didn't you eat the little fish last week?"
"Senior Shenhe said he wants to eat it!"
"Is that so, Shen He?"
"Ah."
"Let's bomb it again tomorrow."
Miss Yun Jin looked puzzled and asked in a low voice, "What happened on Thursday?"
Zhu Zi told her with a smile that the shop serves fried chicken and fries every Thursday. As for why, she didn't know, but that's what the boss said! Anyway, the fried chicken is super delicious!
"fried chicken……"
"If Miss Yun Jin is curious, why don't you come to our shop tomorrow afternoon? You can try some!"
"This one……"
Miss Yun Jin was curious about just how delicious fried chicken was, but when she thought about the huge calories in fried food and its tendency to cause internal heat, she dared not indulge.
She shook her head and declined, "No, I've already had a day off today, and Yunhan Society is preparing for a performance tomorrow, so I don't have time. Thank you for the invitation."
Zhu Zi looked regretful: "Oh, then there's nothing we can do. What about Miss Yan Fei?"
Miss Yan Fei tilted her head and smiled, "I can come over tomorrow afternoon."
