It was the first time that Lin Ruifeng was held by a girl like this. He was holding Shen Qingluo's things in his hands, but his arm was held by Shen Qingluo. At this moment, it seemed as if the things in his hands had no weight.
Walking in Shen Qingluo's company, Lin Ruifeng was a little nervous as he was noticed by a group of handsome men and beautiful women.
But when he thought of Shen Qingluo beside him, he held his head high and chest out, not wanting to embarrass Shen Qingluo.
The two of them took the elevator downstairs and walked out of the high-end office building.
After Shen Qingluo walked out of the office building, she let out a long sigh and looked at Lin Ruifeng and playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Are you feeling very happy now? Because you haven't even told anyone that I'm your girlfriend yet, but I confessed to you first, in front of our company manager."
When Lin Ruifeng saw Shen Qingluo sticking out her tongue at him, his eyes lit up and he almost stared with his eyes wide open.
After hearing Shen Qingluo's words, Lin Ruifeng suddenly came to his senses.
Subconsciously stopping and moving a little away from Shen Qingluo, Lin Ruifeng said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I, I actually wanted to explain just now, I..."
Shen Qingluo took a step closer, pouted and asked, "What do you want to explain? Tell that manager, aren't you my boyfriend?"
Lin Ruifeng wanted to say this, but after hearing what Shen Qingluo said, he quickly changed his words: "No, no, I, I am, I am..."
After thinking for a long time, Lin Ruifeng didn't know what to say
Finally, Shen Qingluo couldn't help laughing when she saw Lin Ruifeng like this.
"You have been learning from Chef Feng for so long, but you are not like Chef Feng who can handle anyone with ease. How can you become Chef Feng's direct disciple?"
Lin Ruifeng lowered his head in embarrassment: "I, I also want to be like Master, but, but I can't do it for the time being."
Shen Qingluo leaned closer and said, "So you should work harder, but I think you are good the way you are now. You are more sincere. Maybe many girls nowadays don't like honest people like you, and don't care about sincerity, but I like it. You are cute when you stutter."
Lin Ruifeng suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Qingluo, and saw the smile on the other's face.
Then he also laughed, thought for a moment and asked: "Shen Qingluo, are you really willing to be my girlfriend?"
Shen Qingluo didn't expect Lin Ruifeng to ask this. He stood there for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Seeing that Shen Qingluo did not answer immediately, Lin Ruifeng thought that the other party was hesitating, and immediately lowered his head again and said: "No, it's okay? If you think we are not suitable, we can continue to be friends."
Shen Qingluo came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Aren't we already boyfriend and girlfriend? Are you going to break up with me so soon?"
Lin Ruifeng raised his head and looked at Shen Qingluo in disbelief.
But then he immediately understood what Shen Qingluo meant and said with a smile, "No, no, we won't break up. I will be like Master and Master's wife and will never break up with you."
Shen Qingluo laughed when he heard this: "Okay? You said so? You must do it."
Lin Ruifeng nodded heavily and agreed very seriously: "Yes, I will definitely do it."
Then Shen Qingluo took Li Ruifeng's arm again and said, "Let's go? Don't stay here? I don't like it here. Let's go to the ancient street. You can help me decide which shop to rent."
Lin Ruifeng nodded first, then looked at Shen Qingluo's things and asked, "Why don't you go home first? Put these things down?"
Shen Qingluo turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Do you feel heavy? You said you would always be good to me, but now you feel tired after doing such a small job?"
Lin Ruifeng quickly said: "No, no, I just think it's inconvenient for you to carry so many things like this."
Shen Qingluo saw Lin Ruifeng's nervous look and laughed immediately: "Hahaha, I was just kidding you. Let me tell you, I resigned from the company. The place I lived in before was the apartment rented for me by the company. After I resigned, the company naturally couldn't continue to let me live there, and I didn't want to pay for it myself."
Lin Ruifeng responded: "Oh, is that so? Then let's go directly to the ancient street to look at the shops."
The two of them set off together. After walking a few steps, Lin Ruifeng asked again, "Where are you staying tonight?"
Shen Qingluo's answer was: "Live at your house."
Lin Ruifeng was shocked again when he got such an answer. He almost dropped everything in his hands and stammered, "Live, live, live, my home? This, this, is, is it, almost, it's not good, right?"
Shen Qingluo turned her head and looked at Lin Ruifeng's nervous expression, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm just kidding. I've already made an agreement with Grandma Wanhua that I'll stay at her house tonight. You, don't even think about it. We haven't reached that stage yet. I'm telling you, I'm not a casual girl."
Lin Ruifeng breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
The two men walked out of the commercial district where the high-end office buildings were located, took a taxi and headed towards the ancient street together.
In the car, neither of them spoke at first. After a while of silence, Lin Ruifeng felt that this was not a good idea, so he started to find topics to talk about.
"By the way, does the manager of your company also know my master?"
Shen Qingluo looked at Lin Ruifeng in surprise: "Don't you know that your master is a famous person in Huaicheng now?"
At this point, Shen Qingluo asked the driver in front of him to prove it: "Master, do you know where in Huaicheng the local dishes are the most authentic?"
The driver immediately said, "Needless to say? Of course it's Su Ji. The cooking skills of Chef Feng at Su Ji are really amazing. Not only can he make our local dishes very authentic, but he also combines dishes from all over the world. Locals know that if you want to eat well, you have to go to Su Ji."
After listening to the driver, Shen Qingluo looked at Lin Ruifeng and said, "Did you hear that?"
Lin Ruifeng was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that his master was so famous now.
Shen Qingluo continued, "My manager is a typical scumbag. It is said that he used his power to coerce and bribe many female employees in the company. The way he looked at you, it was obvious that he looked down on you and thought that you were dressed too ordinary and that they were all cheap goods from street stalls."
Lin Ruifeng nodded and asked, "So you brought up my master to scare him?"
Shen Qingluo looked at Lin Ruifeng and said, "I didn't mean it. Don't be angry. I believe you will surpass your master in the future, and you will definitely become famous by then."
Lin Ruifeng smiled and said, "I'm not angry. I just feel a little useless. I haven't even made enough money to buy you a decent set of clothes. When I make money in the future, I will definitely buy you a set of clothes that will match you."
Shen Qingluo tapped Lin Ruifeng's head gently: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I care about your clothes? If I care about those, I won't resign. You think this is wrong, don't you know?"
Seeing that Lin Ruifeng seemed a little confused, Shen Qingluo explained it carefully again.
"Think about your master. Does he dress very elegantly? Does he wear designer clothes and make himself look slicked back like my manager? But when your master goes out, will anyone disrespect him? Will anyone not admire him? Who wouldn't give him a thumbs up when they mention him?"
After hearing what Shen Qingluo said, Lin Ruifeng immediately understood and realized that what he said before was wrong.
Shen Qingluo said seriously: "So, don't worry about those clothes and appearances. You must learn well from your master and learn cooking skills well. Then you will naturally gain respect from others in the future."
After listening to these words, Lin Ruifeng nodded seriously: "Well, I understand."
When Shen Qingluo saw Lin Ruifeng's serious look, she started smiling again.
Looking at Shen Qingluo with a smile on her face at this moment, Lin Ruifeng felt that the girl next to him was really beautiful.
After laughing, Shen Qingluo said, "I hope you can be as carefree as your master in the future. Don't care what others think. No matter who they are, if you want to eat the dishes made by Chef Feng, you have to line up in front of Su Ji's door. That's the real master."
When the driver heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "So this little brother is Chef Feng's apprentice?"
Lin Ruifeng replied, "Yes, I have just started learning from Master and my skills are not yet up to par."
The driver smiled and said, "You are too modest. To be able to be Chef Feng's apprentice, you must have some skills. You must work hard, young master."
Lin Ruifeng nodded: "Yes, I will work hard and learn from Master."
The driver then asked, "By the way, I heard that the ancient street has been closed for reconstruction. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat Su Ji's food for a while. I wonder if Chef Feng will move his business to another place?"
Lin Ruifeng said immediately: "Oh, Master and I will go to the west of the ancient street and set up a stall in the small market planned by the reconstruction department. Of course, Master can't cook properly in the environment there, but there will be fried rice and noodles, and Master will also make some classic toppings."
The driver was pleasantly surprised when he heard this: "That's great, I like Su Ji's noodles, the noodles are chewy, and the toppings are delicious too. If I have noodles to eat, I must go and show my support."
Shen Qingluo continued, "Then Master, you can go there tomorrow at noon. It's on the west side of the ancient street. Isn't there a kindergarten there? The place where they set up the stall is just opposite the kindergarten."
The driver agreed: "Okay, I will definitely go there at noon tomorrow. I will also tell the drivers in the company to go and show their support to Chef Feng."
Lin Ruifeng first expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Master."
But then he said, "Master, don't bring too many people, otherwise you and I won't be able to receive them. Previously, there were too many people going to Su Ji every day, and you were almost too busy to handle it."
The driver laughed when he heard that. "Hahaha, isn't it because your master's cooking skills are so good? My goodness, recently, the TV has been talking about Chef Feng and Su Ji. The "Fei Chang Zhi" has reported on them many times, right? There are also many videos online praising them."
Shen Qingluo followed up and said, "Yes, yes, now many people are not chasing celebrities anymore, they are chasing Chef Feng's food."
The driver said, "That's right. My son watched the episode of 'Philippines' where Chef Feng cooked. He told me that he wanted to be a chef when he grows up and be as good and handsome as Chef Feng."
Shen Qingluo smiled and said to Lin Ruifeng: "Look, you will have many competitors in the future, you must work hard."
Lin Ruifeng said seriously: "In fact, being a chef is very hard. It takes a long time to practice the basics."
The driver nodded and said, "Yes, on TV, Chef Feng's skills are so neat and tidy, but everyone who has cooked knows that it takes years of hard work to achieve such a level of skill."
Lin Ruifeng said seriously: "My master once said, 'Three years of knife skills, five years of cooking, and a lifetime of seasoning.' If you want to become a top chef like my master, you must first go through three to five years of honing your basic skills, and then you may need a lifetime to study seasoning."
The driver said again: "Every master is devoted to one thing in his life and does it to the best of his ability."
When Shen Qingluo heard this, he immediately applauded the driver: "Master, what you said is very good. If you devote your whole life to one thing, endure the loneliness, and do that thing to the best of your ability, then you are a master."
The driver smiled and said, "Haha, I just thought of this by chance, so young master, you have to work hard."
Shen Qingluo turned his head to look at Lin Ruifeng, patted him and said, "Did you hear that? Work hard."
Lin Ruifeng came to his senses after hearing what the driver said and nodded seriously: "Well, I will definitely spend my whole life to master the cooking skills."
In Shen Qingluo's heart, she had the same thought.
She will also spend her whole life studying embroidery and Hanfu design and production thoroughly, and work hard to restore the production of handmade Hanfu.
The driver's unintentional words inspired both young people.
Both Lin Ruifeng and Shen Qingluo were determined to work hard to achieve their respective goals.
When the car drove towards the ancient street, it happened to pass in front of the kindergarten. Lin Ruifeng pointed to the small market opposite and said, "Master, look, it's the small market opposite. My master and I will set up a stall in the small market starting tomorrow. You can go there for lunch."
The driver turned his head and took a look and said, "Okay, I remember. It's opposite the kindergarten."
Then the car moved forward a little and stopped at the intersection of the ancient street.
Lin Ruifeng paid the fare and got off the car with Shen Qingluo.
The driver finally said, "Young master, keep your fuel on the gas, but don't embarrass your master."
Lin Ruifeng smiled and nodded in response: "Of course, thank you, driver."
After saying goodbye to the driver, Lin Ruifeng helped Shen Qingluo carry her things and they entered the ancient street together.
The two of them first went to Liu Wanhua's shop. After entering the door, Shen Qingluo said to Liu Wanhua: "Grandma, I'm here to seek refuge with you. I have no place to stay tonight. You must take me in."
When Liu Wanhua saw Shen Qingluo and Lin Ruifeng walk in together, she almost instantly realized that the two had an unusual relationship.
Hearing Shen Qingluo's words, Liu Wanhua smiled and said, "Don't you have a place to live? Ruifeng's parents left with his sister this morning, right? Ruifeng's family should have room for you."
Hearing this, Lin Ruifeng quickly waved his hands: "Aunt Liu, um, my family, my family can't do that."
Shen Qingluo turned around and said fiercely: "Don't call me Aunt Liu, you have to call me Grandma like me."
Lin Ruifeng was stunned for a moment, and after hesitating for a while, he called Liu Wanhua: "Grandma, Grandma."
When Liu Wanhua saw this scene and heard Lin Ruifeng actually calling her "Grandma", she couldn't help but burst out laughing. The laughter spread from the small shop and floated over the old street.
