Chapter 447: Forming a Couple

When Bai Zhigan arrived at the train station, the green train that Ye Tiandong was on had not yet arrived.

She waited at the train station for a while.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, the train station is much busier and more crowded than usual.

Many migrant workers who come to the city to work carry large and small sacks, planning to take a bus back to their hometowns for the Spring Festival.

The entire train station square was packed with people.

Bai Zhi squeezed to the exit and glanced at her watch.

With twenty minutes to go before the train pulled into the station, she tried her best to protect her backpack.

They were afraid of being robbed by pickpockets.

It has to be said that the security situation at train stations in this era was truly chaotic.

Some pickpockets, it can no longer be called stealing.

They just grabbed it raw.

She hadn't planned to bring her mobile phone with her when she came out, but she was afraid she wouldn't be able to find her uncle or contact him, so she had no choice but to bring the phone with her.

Therefore, the backpack in her hand is a gold nugget.

There was still the money her grandfather had just given her inside, which she hadn't had time to put at home.

But in such a messy place, she couldn't appear to cherish her bag, lest she attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives.

She squeezed through the exit, clutching her bag, and finally waited for the train to arrive.

She stared longingly at the exit, afraid of missing her uncle.

When most of the people had left, Ye Tiandong finally strolled out.

Bai Zhi saw that there was a familiar figure beside him.

His capable assistant, Manager Cui,

When Bai Zhi saw Manager Cui, a smile curved her lips.

She never expected that her uncle would bring Manager Cui on a business trip.

As Ye Tiandong and Manager Cui approached, Bai Zhi waved to them happily.

"Uncle, over here, I'm over here."

When Ye Tiandong saw Bai Zhi, he forced a smile and walked straight toward her.

Manager Cui followed closely behind, carrying a bag.

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes speechlessly when she saw this scene.

Her uncle was so ungentlemanly, making Manager Cui, a young woman, carry his bag.

He had his small black leather bag tucked under his arm, looking every bit the boss.

Even though he was the boss to begin with.

Bai Zhi, who had already mentally paired the two of them as a couple, couldn't help but complain when she saw Manager Cui carrying a bag.

Did her uncle know what Manager Cui was thinking?

Did he actually have those feelings for Manager Cui?

Is there any possibility for their relationship to continue?

A series of question marks hung on Bai Zhi's forehead.

As her thoughts raced, Ye Tiandong squeezed in front of her, frowning. "Xiao Zhi, why did you come to pick me up? Didn't I tell you I'd call you when I arrived?"

Looking at the chaotic train station and then at his petite niece, Ye Tiandong grabbed her arm and forcefully protected her.

"Uncle, I already said I would come to pick you up."

Bai Zhi turned to look at Supervisor Cui behind him and greeted her with a smile, "Supervisor Cui, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see, Miss Bai." Manager Cui was as polite and serious as ever.

"Manager Cui, let's go together." Bai Zhi let go of Ye Tiandong's arm, and then pulled Manager Cui along.

He then handed the briefcase from Manager Cui to Ye Tiandong.

"Uncle, you can carry this bag."

Ye Tiandong looked at the bag that had been forcibly shoved into his hand, and then at the two women who were already walking hand in hand ahead of him.

Several black lines appeared on his forehead.

He then quickly followed.

After exiting the train station, Bai Zhi hailed a taxi.

Ye Tiandong mentioned a place.

It was the restaurant he planned to take over.

This restaurant is called Nancheng Restaurant. It used to be a state-owned restaurant, but due to the rise of private restaurants and the poor management of state-owned restaurants, it had to close down.

They then planned to contract out the project to external parties.

Ye Tiandong had already contacted the other party and reached a preliminary agreement on the transfer price.

The purpose of this visit is for both sides to finalize the details.

For example, the cost accounting of equipment, and the placement of hotel staff.

The restaurant's head chef had met Ye Tiandong before, and seeing him arrive with his entourage, he warmly welcomed them. After they ordered, he instructed the kitchen to prepare the food, and then sent someone to call the restaurant owner. The dishes were served.

"We've had a long day, let's eat first."

The three of them ordered six dishes.

Of course, besides being full, the most important thing is to try the dishes.

Ye Tiandong whispered to Bai Zhi and Manager Cui, "Let's try the food here first and see if their chef is worth coming along."

"good."

"Try every dish carefully."

All three of them picked up their chopsticks and savored the food.

Ye Tiandong had eaten there once before, and this time he mainly wanted Bai Zhi and Manager Cui to try the dishes and taste them.

Bai Zhi took a bite of the signature roast duck and concluded, "I don't think it's as good as the one at Bincheng Grand Restaurant."

Supervisor Cui expressed his agreement.

Bai Zhi tasted another bite of Kung Pao Chicken. "This is not bad."

After trying six dishes, Bai Zhi and Manager Cui commented that "overall it was okay, but not as good as Bincheng Grand Restaurant."

Just as we were finishing our meal, the restaurant owner rushed over in a flurry.

As soon as he came in, he greeted me with a smile, "Boss Ye, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I just got home this afternoon and came over as soon as I got the call."

Ye Tiandong explained, "Mr. Yang, we originally planned to come here for a meal and then discuss business tomorrow."

"Bring a few more dishes," said Boss Yang, but Ye Tiandong stopped him.

He smiled and shook his head, "No need, we're already full."

He said to the restaurant owner, "Since you're here, then you can have a detailed chat with our Manager Cui later."

Boss Yang's gaze fell on Manager Cui's face.

His expression held a hint of inquiry.

Ye Tiandong introduced her to him, "She is the manager of our Bincheng Grand Hotel. She is in charge of all matters and is a very capable woman. She can represent me fully, so you can talk to her with peace of mind."

Supervisor Cui nodded slightly to him.

The restaurant owner looked at the powerful and aloof businesswoman in front of him, smiled and nodded, "Okay."

After the meal, Ye Tiandong kept Manager Cui at the restaurant to discuss business, while he and Bai Zhi planned to leave first.

"Uncle, will this work?" Bai Zhi glanced at the middle-aged man, then looked at the aloof and serious Manager Cui, who was dressed in a suit.

Ye Tiandong remained calm, his eyes revealing his trust in Cui Hua. "Of course, she's more professional than me in this area. Let's go home and leave the work-related matters to Cui Hua."

Bai Zhi naturally believed in Supervisor Cui's work ability.

only......

"Where will Supervisor Cui stay tonight?" she asked with concern.

"She'll go to the hotel after she finishes her business," Ye Tiandong replied. "That's how it's always been arranged for business trips. She'll handle it herself, so there's no need to worry."

Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly upon hearing Ye Tiandong's words.

Her uncle is completely using Manager Cui as his subordinate.

There wasn't a single trace of personal feeling involved.

She had no choice but to take Ye Tiandong home first.

When Ye Tiandong got out of the car with Bai Zhi, he saw the courtyard in front of him and his eyes flickered slightly. "Xiao Zhi, so you brought me home here?"
