Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband Chapter 561 - Carelessness

Chapter 561 Carelessness

They are having the same coffee and the same sandwiches.

Jing Shu makes a comparison secretly and finds the subtle differences between their breakfast.

The coffee in front of her is stronger in color and smell.

And her sandwich looks more attractive.

Looking at Jing Shu’s eyes, Beitang Xiu smiles.

Shu is potential as a “blue-chip stock”.

“Would you like to try both cups of coffee?”

“Uh?” Jing Shu blinks, “Nah, it is not good to drink yours...”

“It’s okay. Just for comparison.”

Jing Shu pauses for a moment, and then she nods. She takes a sip from both cups.

They taste similar, but her coffee is slightly bitter with a mellow aroma, while Beitang Xiu’s coffee tastes a bit of astringency! In terms of fragrance, Beitang Xiu’s coffee is slightly sour.

A miss is as good as a mile!

“There’s a tiny different, isn’t it?”

Jing Shu nods, “Mine is better.”

“I made yours.” While speaking, Beitang Xiu pushes his sandwich over, “Try this.”

This time Jing Shu takes a bite of the two sandwiches without hesitation. She finds that her sandwich has a stronger taste and fragrance. Looking at Beitang Xiu, she asks, “Mine is better. Did you make this?”

“Yes.” Beitang Xiu starts to have his sandwich, “That waiter made my breakfast. The procedure we follow is the same, but the result is different. Shu, think about it.”

Experience, skill, talent, and ideas are all important. To pursue perfection, these four factors are indispensable.

Watching the waiters who are doing cleaning carefully, Jing Shu learns a lesson.

In some areas, making perfection more perfect is the only way to be successful. Just as people always say, the devil is in the details.

To be honest, Beitang Xiu’s breakfast is delicious, but it is not good enough to be deeply remembered, but once you taste what Beitang Xiu made, you will never forget it in a lifetime.

A miss is as good as a mile!

There must be a fundamental reason why the waiters are still cleaning.

“Mr. Beitang, when does the cleaning start here? I’ll come over earlier tomorrow.”

“You don’t need to do it. Just let them do their work.”

“Mr. Beitang, I come here to learn skills. I can’t take it without paying anything. I should do what I can do for you. Other apprentices all start out as handymen.”

The smile spreads wider over Beitang Xiu’s face, “Come here at half past five tomorrow. Wait for me here. Don’t do any work.”

Seeing that Jing Shu is about to argue, Beitang Xiu points his finger on her lips, “I told you. Be a good girl. Are you?”

Beitang Xiu’s gentleness and elegance seem to have a kind of magic, making Jing Shu obedient, “Well, I see. I’ll come and wait for you at five thirty tomorrow.”

“Good.” Pus.h.i.+ng his coffee to the side, Beitang Xiu says, “Little A, pour me a gla.s.s of boiled water.”

Junhao International Group.

An Zihao, Xia Ning, and Lei Buyang are sitting in a huge conference room.

Xia Ning sits on the chair. An Zihao and Lei Buyang sit on her right and left respectively.

Lei Buyang’s spine tingles when he looks at An Zhihao who is brainy and wears gla.s.ses. An Zhihao smiles innocently. But why does he subconsciously want to run away from him?

Xia Ning... She is trickier. He felt nervous when she called him out to meet in the Junhao International Group this morning.

Her tone was a bit weird, but he couldn’t tell what it was.

In the Junhao International Group, he notices a wicked flash in Xia Ning’s big eyes. He wonders if it is because he said something “bad” about Yi Yunrui.

“Mr. Lei, thank you for sparing us a few minutes of your busy schedule. Today is special. I want to introduce someone to you.” Xia Ning says.

“Ning, don’t be so impersonal. It’s rare for you to call me out. I always have time for you. Didn’t you promise to call me by my name? Call me Buyang. It is so strange for you to call me like that.”

Xia Ning rolls her eyes secretly, but she still keeps the smile. And then she lowers her head and takes a sip of milk. An Zihao, who is sitting beside her, puts on a playful look.

Lei Buyang’s lips move, but he doesn’t say anything. Subconsciously, he feels it is better to stay away from An Zihao.

“Ning, who do you want me to meet? No one has shown up yet...”

At this moment, someone knocks on the door of the conference room. There are echoes around the open s.p.a.ce. Jing Shu leads a man in.

Seeing who is coming, Lei Buyang’s eyes flash quickly!

Beitang Xiu comes over. He glances at Lei Buyang with his eyes as black as obsidian and then he says to Xia Ning with respect, “Mrs. Xia, sorry I’m late.”

“Not at all. We arrived early. Mr. Lei, this is Mr. Beitang Xiu, the newly appointed board chairman of Tianyu Entertainment Company. Mr. Beitang, this is Lei Buyang, the board chairman of Lei’s Group.” Xia Ning stands up and introduces them to each other.

The instant her voice breaks off, Beitang Xiu and Lei Buyang stare straight at each other and fall silent for a while.

They look both intriguing.

Xia Ning is puzzled. Does Lei Buyang know Beitang Xiu?

“You two... Do you know each other?”

“No!”

Lei Buyang and Beitang Xiu say it together.

Xia Ning becomes even more puzzled!

They are so in sync!

“Mr. Lei,” Beitang Xiu stretches out his hand first, “My pleasure to meet you!”

“Not at all.” Lei Buyang holds Beitang Xiu’s hand tightly, secretly wrestling with him, “Mr. Beitang, you’re young and promising. As the old saying goes, ‘As in the Changjiang River the waves behind drive on those before.’ We’re old-timers. It’s my pleasure to meet you!”

They both keep a smile, but the veins in their clenched hands burst out.

The air seems to be full of gunpowder. Xia Ning gets a bad feeling. She makes a sign to Jing Shu.

Jing Shu puts two identical doc.u.ments on the table in front of Lei Buyang and Beitang Xiu, “Mr. Lei, Mr. Beitang, these are doc.u.ments about Yu Di Long Tu’s new cooperation. Please take a look.”

Lei Buyang raises his eyebrows, smiling viciously, “Mr. Beitang, why don’t we have a look at them first?”

“Sure!” Beitang Xiu answers cheerfully, “Let’s take a look!”

They let go of their hands and sit down at the same time.

Their movements are so weird that Xia Ning is not convinced that they don’t know each other.

“Su Shen, the president of TC Group, got involved in a lawsuit. We have to fill the vacancy there. No one has any objection to Mr. Beitang’s joining. We are waiting for your opinion, Mr. Lei.”

“Really?” Lei Buyang sneers, “Ning, will it be unreasonable if I disagree when everyone agrees? I respect their opinions.”

Xia Ning powders for a few seconds and then she asks directly, “Mr. Lei, no kidding on the matter about Yu Di Long Tu. If there is any problem, we can talk about it together.”

“I have no problem!” Lei Buyang waves his hand, “Business is the top priority. You’re the boss. I listen to you.”

Xia Ning’s eyebrows twitch. What was he just saying?

Beitang Xiu’s grin gets even broader, “No matter what happens, let’s keep personal and business matters apart. We’re here to talk about business. Let’s get down to it.”

Just then, Jing Shu brings coffee for them. She places two cups in front of Lei Buyang and Beitang Xiu.

Lei Buyang takes a sip. He asks Beitang Xiu purposefully, “I heard you were a great coffee maker. I like coffee. Could you supervise me a little bit if you have a moment?”

Xia Ning’s eyes light up. They must know each other. Lei Buyang even knows what Beitang Xiu is good at.

“This is very flattering. Surely, I will.”

Lei Buyang narrows his eyes slightly, stands up with the coffee, and walks to Beitang Xiu, “The girl next to Ning is also good at making coffee. What would you say, Mr. Beitang?”

“Ahem!” Before Beitang Xiu answers, Xia Ning interrupts, “Mr. Lei, could you please find another time to talk about coffee with Mr. Beitang?” Don’t involve Shu in a battle between men!

“Mrs. Xia is right. Mr. Lei, how about taking a rain check?” Beitang Xiu suggests, glancing at Jing Shu.

Jing Shu’s heart skips a beat. She quickly lowers her head.

She is definitely not as good as Beitang Xiu! The problem is that Lei Buyang doesn’t know that Beitang Xiu is her master. It’s not appropriate for him to evaluate her skills.

“Oh... Tsk, tsk...” Lei Buyang says regretfully, frowning, “Well, I guess we’ll have to take a rain check.”

With talking, Lei Buyang turns around. He seems to be tripped over by something. He t.i.tles and throws the coffee in his hand on Beitang Xiu all of a sudden!

Xia Ning and Jing Shu gasp.

“Ouch! I was really careless!” Lei Buyang cries, “Beitang Xiu, I’m really sorry. What should I do?”

What Beitang Xiu should do?

If someone is splashed with coffee, he must go back and get changed. This is Lei Buyang’s purpose.

He wants Beitang Xiu to leave.

Black coffee stains spread over Beitang Xiu’s white suit. It is hard to remove these stains. Beitang Xiu smiles and says calmly, “Don’t worry. I usually prepare a few sets of clothes when I go out, just in case. Mrs. Xia, Mr. Lei, give me a few minutes to get changed.”

And then he stands up, bows to everyone, and walks out of the conference room.

“My G.o.d. He must have done a lot of awful things so that he prepares spare outfits.” Lei Buyang looks surprised.

Xia Ning’s eyes darken, “Mr. Lei, do you think this is fun?”
