Fortunately, Zhao Yingjun was not dressed in home clothes, so the two could go out directly. Experience new stories on freewebnovel
Zhao Yingjun filled VV’s food bowl with dog food, ready to leave.
"V~~~~~~"
The Pomeranian refused to let go of Lin Xian’s shoelaces, following her wherever she went, and if she walked a bit faster, it would pull her neatly tied shoelaces apart.
?
Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun looked down at VV.
"VV."
Zhao Yingjun squatted down and looked at the Pomeranian:
"Do you want to go too?"
"Woof!"
"The restaurant is not a place for you to eat, you can’t have human food, it’s too salty, and your eyes will get tear stains."
"Woowoo!"
Zhao Yingjun helplessly looked up at Lin Xian:
"How about... if you don’t mind, we could take VV with us? It just recovered its spirits, so it might be better to have some stability. I’m worried that it might regress to how it was before if we leave it alone."
"Of course, let’s take it with us."
The two of them and the dog got on the elevator and went downstairs.
Lin Xian opened the electric sliding door for Zhao Yingjun from the outside, then let Zhao Yingjun, holding the Pomeranian, get in first and sit on the seat to the left.
Then Lin Xian got in the car, sat on the seat to the right by the door, and closed the electric sliding door.
VV skillfully jumped off Zhao Yingjun’s lap and lay down under the folded footrest of the seat, licking its paws.
Since both Lin Xian’s car and Zhao Yingjun’s were the same model Alfa Romeo, VV made itself right at home and immediately found its special spot.
"It used to like lying here as well."
Zhao Yingjun buckled up, turned to look at Lin Xian:
"I guess no matter when you want to take VV home, it won’t miss me at all. It will definitely be too happy to think of home."
"That won’t be the case." Lin Xian smiled and said:
"It has never left you, so it doesn’t know the taste of separation. Let it be away from you for two days, and it will know it misses you. Dogs are like people, not knowing how to cherish what they have until it’s gone."
"I hope so."
Zhao Yingjun blinked:
"But even if it’s too happy to think of home, I wouldn’t mind, I’d feel even more at ease knowing it’s with you."
After that, she turned to the driver in front:
"Xiao Li, head to Xibei Road."
"Yes, President Zhao!" The driver immediately answered.
Only then did Lin Xian realize.
Actually!
Like Brother Wang, Xiao Li was also Zhao Yingjun’s person, brought over from MX Company!
Drat, he had been surrounded by Zhao Yingjun.
But Xiao Li was indeed a good person.
He was a professional from a military driver’s unit, previously drove for the Vice President at MX Company, and later, when Brother Wang felt that Lin Xian’s driver had to be someone trustworthy... Worried about finding and training someone new, he directly discussed with Zhao Yingjun and transferred Xiao Li to Rhein Company as well.
However, worthy of his military background, Xiao Li was very competent at keeping secrets. Lin Xian believed he definitely wouldn’t be reporting any happy news to Zhao Yingjun.
For example, Xiao Li was fully aware of his trip to Copenhagen, even knowing exactly when Lin Xian went to Imperial Capital and when he returned to East Sea... Yet clearly, Zhao Yingjun did not know about these.
This was also why Lin Xian felt assured about Xiao Li.
The boss’s driver is the closest to the boss and the one who comes into contact with the most secrets; it’s essential to have a tight-lipped person in that role. On this point, Xiao Li really did well.
So...
Every time he appeared at Rhein Company, it must have been Brother Wang who informed Zhao Yingjun.
It’s not really informing though, after all, it’s not some secret, and Brother Wang and Zhao Yingjun are quite close anyway. Moreover... Brother Wang had secretly revealed to him at MX Company that Zhao Yingjun had the idea of promoting him as her secretary.
Brother Wang indeed wasn’t very tight-lipped, but his heart was in the right place.
...
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Jing Cuisine Restaurant, which was decorated in an antique style that showed its age at a glance.
The gate and exterior decorations were very grand, the redwood style was very much steeped in historical charm.
Zhao Yingjun ordered a few signature dishes, and then let Lin Xian take a look at the menu; seeing that Zhao Yingjun had already ordered enough for the two of them, Lin Xian did not order anything else.
Shortly after, a few simple home-cooked dishes were served.
"Try them and see if they suit your taste."
VV lay quietly on the carpet in the private room, Zhao Yingjun picked up the chopsticks, gesturing Lin Xian to eat first:
"There’s an old saying that ’In Imperial Capital, there is no fine food, all rely on being finicky; the good meat is overlooked, but the offal is used instead.’ Actually, as a person from the Imperial Capital, I don’t really agree with this saying. Although many well-known traditional snacks from Imperial Capital do use a lot of pork offal, like stir-fried liver, stewed items, intestines, and the like... They do seem to be an acquired taste."
"But in reality, as a branch of Shandong cuisine, Jing cuisine does have many excellent dishes. You should try these; even though they appear to be simple home-cooked dishes, cooking them well still tests the chef’s skills."
In front of Zhao Yingjun, Lin Xian naturally did not hold back or act polite, so he began tasting the food without any reservations.
"Mmm, indeed very good."
Lin Xian praised sincerely:
"Although it’s not the kind of heavy, distinctive, or spicy flavor that’s stimulating, home-cooked dishes taste good precisely because they have this sort of homely flavor."
Pff—
Zhao Yingjun laughed at Lin Xian’s remark about feeling like he was at home:
"How could you feel at home eating Jing cuisine? Wouldn’t it be the dishes from Hang City that give you that feeling?"

"Ah, don’t even mention it."
Lin Xian waved his hand:
"Hang City is really a gourmet desert. It was only after I graduated from high school and came to East Sea that I discovered there were so many delicious things in the world. Just the cafeteria at Donghai University alone is enough to defeat the whole of Hang City."
