Chapter 1751: Chapter 1750: He Brought Back a Woman
"Qiaoqiao, I’ll call Chengfeng in a while." Qin Yize paused for a moment and said.
"Don’t bother, he’s already left the Imperial Capital, and he didn’t bring his mobile phone so we can’t contact him." Gu Qiaoqiao said sullenly.
"Where did he go?"
"No one knows, he said he’ll be back in a few days."
"Then let’s wait until he comes back."
The two of them talked for a while about the children. At this moment, Qin Yize was dealing with things in Yanjing, so he hadn’t arrived at Stone Town yet. Gu Qiaoqiao asked, "When will you go to Stone Town?"
"The day after tomorrow."
"Then you can attend my uncle’s wedding. By the way, my mom is still preparing Xiao Wen’s dowry, she doesn’t know what happened between Xiao Wen and Chu Chengfeng, nor does Great Grandfather."
Qin Yize pondered for a moment, "Then let’s not tell our parents for now, wait until they return to the Imperial Capital. But we can’t hide it from Great Grandfather."
"I know, I’ll talk to him when I have time. The Old Patriarch already treats Xiao Wen like family, and he’s waiting for her to get married so he can be at peace. Who would have thought this would happen."
"Xiao Wen and Chu Chengfeng are deeply entangled, it’s not something that can be cut off easily. Your company has already established itself, and its operations are on track. Xiao Wen is now a shareholder and also the Vice General Manager of the beef noodle restaurant, the two of them are going to have interactions at work."
At this point, Qin Yize, feeling a bit of a headache, continued, "Qiaoqiao, when Chu Chengfeng returns, call me, I’ll talk to him about this."
Speaking of the beef noodle restaurant, Gu Qiaoqiao was also quite troubled. Now Sima Xiaowen and Chu Chengfeng couldn’t simply never speak again, they were still tied together in many ways. Xiao Wen is still the Vice General Manager of the beef noodle chain restaurant. "...Ah Ze, if Sister Xiao Wen quits, there isn’t anyone suitable at the moment, but if she stays as Vice General Manager, the two are bound to see each other at work every day..."
"I think, considering Sister Xiao Wen’s temperament, she might not want this job anymore, she might withdraw her shares. This can only be discussed when Chu Chengfeng comes back." Qin Yize comforted Gu Qiaoqiao.
After they talked for a while more, they hung up the phone. Indeed, everything had to wait until Chu Chengfeng came back to make any decisions.
A week later, Chu Chengfeng returned, looking travel-worn, but to everyone’s surprise, he wasn’t alone. He brought back a woman, a delicate and gentle woman!
And when Chu Chengfeng brought the woman back, Sima Xiaowen was working at the beef noodle restaurant.
To be precise, the most booming business now was the noodle restaurant opposite the station. Currently, Old Master Li and Sister Li could only handle the back kitchen, while the rest had to be managed by Chu Chengfeng and Sima Xiaowen.
So when the General Manager Chu disappeared, and Vice General Manager Sima didn’t come to the noodle restaurant for two days, things got a bit unstable.
There were some managers below taking charge, and although everything seemed normal, the hearts of the people were still a bit uneasy.
Many rumors were quietly spreading beneath them.
The most talked-about thing was that the General Manager had thrown away all the clothes Vice General Manager Sima Xiaowen gave him. Everyone was in disbelief, and even frightened.
No one knew what had happened between these two.
To know the feelings these two had, they seemed unbreakable, as though no third person could interfere, so the waiters and the managers never thought these two would one day become enemies.
What was even more incredible was that it was actually Chu Chengfeng who was the main character in their enmity.
They didn’t know what happened, nor heard any quarrels, just quietly, one left the noodle restaurant and vanished, and the other went back to the Gu Garden and didn’t come to work for several days.
So, although everything ran as usual, people’s hearts had already changed.
These two, General and Vice General Manager, were incredibly competent. Under their management, the noodle restaurant was booming, earning money hand over fist, and expanding.
And indeed, a third beef noodle restaurant was about to open soon.
Though Gu Qiaoqiao was also a shareholder and board member, it was truly run by Chu Chengfeng and Sima Xiaowen.
The two of them owned the largest shares.
Now, with this situation, how could everyone not let their imaginations run wild?
The manager had to call Sima Xiaowen.
After all, only the Vice General Manager could be contacted.
The General Manager Chu left, without even taking his always-on mobile phone.
When she received the call, Sima Xiaowen was already feeling much better emotionally.
She wasn’t going to just let it go.
So she went to work at the noodle restaurant, and Gu Qiaoqiao had two classes this week, which she couldn’t easily cancel or take leave from, so they only met twice this week.
Seeing that Sima Xiaowen was in a decent mood, Gu Qiaoqiao felt a bit relieved, but who expected this to happen again.
For the beef noodle restaurant at the station, there was no concept of weekends, every day was busy, and today Sima Xiaowen was just as usual.
Except there were fewer customers in the afternoon. In the restaurant industry, the period from 2:00 to 4:00 PM is usually a little break.
Even so, there were still a few diners, as well as servers offering customer service, and the restaurant’s manager and team leaders were present.
So, all the on-duty staff saw Chu Chengfeng, and the gentle woman beside him.
This woman was different from Sima Xiaowen.
If Sima Xiaowen was a glamorous red rose, then this woman was a delicate white lotus.
They were two completely different styles.
While Chu Chengfeng and this woman didn’t hold hands when they came in, their expressions were as if they had known each other intimately for many years.
For a moment, Sima Xiaowen’s mind went blank.
Before this, she had gradually calmed down and regained her composure, waiting for her uncle and father to appear.
But deep down, she had to admit, Xiao Wen still harbored a sliver of hope.
Hoping that when Chu Chengfeng returned, everything would go back to the way it was.
She didn’t care about the new Clan Leader identity.
She just wanted her Chu Chengfeng to return, for the two of them to manage the beef noodle restaurant well and expand the chain, as they had once dreamed, not only across the nation but also internationally, becoming the world’s largest noodle chain.
But now, this harsh reality hit her like a heavy blow to the head, striking her until she saw stars, her chest hurt, and even left her staggering. Nevertheless, she forced herself to endure.
