C2 Shrewd and Competent

"Hello, my name is Su Yue!" "Sorry for being late."

"It's fine, I just arrived too."

Duan Yu was wearing the same clothes as in the photo. He was in a business suit and tie, and there was not a single fold on his jacket. His hair was pushed back neatly, and his face was white and clean, which made him look even more handsome than in the photo.

There were some similarities between their attire. Both of them appeared smart and capable, but they also exuded an inexplicable sense of seriousness.

Only then did Su Yue notice a photo on the table. If she looked carefully, she would see that the girl in the photo was none other than Su Yue herself!

This was even a photo of Su Yue, the one she had taken earlier. It had always been in the frame on her bedside table. Why would it appear here?!

Needless to say, it must have been done by Aunt Su!

Su Yue felt a wave of helplessness. She hadn't even realized that the picture on the bedside table was missing …

Duan Yu might have noticed Su Yue's actions, so he subconsciously picked up the photo and casually said, "I'm prettier than the photo!" to ease the awkward atmosphere in front of him.

Su Yue smiled slightly and said, "Thank you!"

Duan Yu looked at the photo and then looked at Su Yue. With a polite smile, he pushed the photo on the table towards the latter. Su Yue was stunned for a moment; apparently, she didn't expect Duan Yu to return the photo to her.

She didn't think too much and took out Duan Yu's photo from her bag and handed it over. Duan Yu naturally took it and Su Yue also put her own picture back into the bag.

Duan Yu raised his watch and looked at the time. Su Yue noticed this detail and seemed to be in a hurry.

"Since Auntie Li introduced me, I think you should know my situation. I don't have anything else to say, so let's chat casually!"

Duan Yu looked at Su Yue, looking forward to her response.

"En, alright!"

As expected, hearing Duan Yu's words, it was as Su Yue had guessed. He was indeed in a hurry. Since that was the case, there was no need for Su Yue to drag things out.

However, the following topic of the two people had nothing to do with the usual topic of dating talk. This made Su Yue less disgusted and instead enjoyed the conversation with Duan Yu.

During this period, Duan Yu looked down at his watch from time to time, giving Su Yue a feeling that he was a person with a strong sense of time. At least, this was one of the strong points of his existence.

The clock on the wall of the coffee shop pointed to twelve o'clock. Duan Yu offered to take Su Yue to lunch, but Su Yue didn't refuse.

The two of them walked out of the coffee shop. Duan Yu took out the car keys from his briefcase, looked at Su Yue and said with a smile, "Wait for me here, I'm going to drive!"

"En, alright!"

Watching Duan Yu's straight back disappear around the corner, Su Yue sighed softly. From the way they chatted, Duan Yu was indeed outstanding in every aspect. However, what Su Yue didn't understand was why such an outstanding person would come for a blind date …

After a minute or two, Duan Yu drove a white Mercedes out of the parking lot. This matched Duan Yu's personality.

Su Yue directly opened the back door and sat in the back. Duan Yu stared at Su Yue silently in the rearview mirror.

"Miss Su, are you going to choose a place or …?"

Su Yue had just fastened her seat belt. Hearing Duan Yu's words, she immediately answered: "You can choose a place, I'll do whatever you want!"

Duan Yu started the car and drove into the downtown area. The two of them did not speak along the way …

About ten minutes later, the car entered an alley and stopped at the end of the alley, in front of an old-fashioned residential building that was simply decorated.

Su Yue looked at the buildings on both sides of the street. They looked like a small bridge with flowing water. Memories floated in her mind. She had been here before, but she never knew that there was such a beautiful scene at the end of the alley.

While Su Yue was still in a daze, Duan Yu opened the car door for her and gestured for her to open it. Su Yue came back to her senses and got out of the car with a shy smile.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, she saw the spacious farmyard. It was filled with flowers and plants, and a faint fragrance of flowers wafted into her nose. Su Yue could not help but take a deep breath, as if she was enjoying it.

"It seems that Miss Su really likes this place."

Seeing Su Yue's expression, Duan Yu revealed a satisfied smile.

Su Yue smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect Mister Duan to be able to find such a good environment."

The two of them smiled at each other.

When the boss saw that a customer had arrived, he hurriedly came out to greet him. When he saw Duan Yu, he greeted him as if he had seen an old acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time: "Mr. Duan, you haven't come for some time, but you're still the same as always?"

While speaking, the boss looked Su Yue up and down, making her feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Yes, I brought a friend over this time." He looked at Su Yue and continued, "It's Miss Su's first time here, so she might not understand the rules here. I can give you a simple introduction, there's no menu here, just cook whatever food there is. If Miss Su doesn't like anything, you can explain it to the boss and it will be fine with him!"

Su Yue was stunned. This was the first time she had heard of such an interesting shop owner. She waved her hand and said, "I'm not picky with food. Thank you!"

The smile on the owner's face didn't decrease as he hurriedly led the two to a private room on the second floor. Listening to their conversation, Duan Yu seemed to be a regular customer here.

After serving the dishes, Su Yue couldn't help but swallow her saliva as she looked at the tasty smell. She secretly rejoiced that she didn't come this time for nothing.

By the time the two of them finished their meal, it was already 2 PM. During this period, Duan Yu received a few phone calls as if Duan Yu had something to take care of. Su Yue was understanding and didn't waste too much time.

Outside the alley, Duan Yu's phone rang frequently. Seeing the situation, Duan Yu had no choice but to explain the situation to Su Yue. "I have something important to deal with at the company. I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you in the afternoon."

"It's nothing. If you have anything to do at the company, you can go back first. After I'm done, I have to go back to our group. Just put me down and take a taxi."

In order to make up for his guilt, Duan Yu sent Su Yue to the company's entrance in the end. He then drove away. Before leaving, the two of them left a number for each other to contact later.

The reason why she took Su Yue's rest today as an excuse was because she didn't want to go back too early, lest Aunt Su kept nagging at her.

She was now the manager of the Food Restaurant, which was also one of the group's project assets. Other than the restaurant, they also had properties such as a hotel and shopping mall.

Since Su Yue had nothing better to do, she decided to take a walk around the restaurant.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, she saw a young and beautiful woman arguing with the waiter. As the manager of the restaurant, Su Yue naturally had the responsibility to deal with this kind of thing.

Without giving it much thought, Su Yue rushed forward to inquire about the situation.

A few waiters who were surrounding her to persuade her, upon seeing Su Yue's arrival, all called out respectfully: "Manager Su!"

Su Yue waved her hand, indicating that they should go down first.

The woman saw the reaction of the waiters and looked towards Su Yue. She frowned slightly and asked, "You're the manager here?"

Su Yue stepped forward with a smile and said, "Hello, I am the person in charge here. Is there anything that you are not satisfied with?"

Su Yue looked at the waiter beside her as she spoke. The latter lowered his head and sobbed softly, as if he had suffered a great grievance.

The woman crossed her arms in front of her chest as if she was a superior being and coldly snorted, "Since you're the manager here, then I won't let you go even if you're holding onto a waiter. If you can be in charge, then I'll tell you!"

Facing the unruly people in front of her, Su Yue was still smiling and trying her best to do her job.

Su Yue: "May I ask how should I address you, Madam?"

"My surname is Lu!"

After hearing the word 'Lu', Su Yue's heart skipped a beat. She unconsciously thought of her boss, Lu Yichen …

Su Yue retracted her thoughts and said to the waiter beside her, "Go and bring a cup of water for Miss Lu!"

Then, he turned to look at Miss Lu: "If you have anything to say, please come to my office. I think it's not good for all of us to stand here and settle it!"

Su Yue turned to look at her surroundings as she said that. Although it was already past dinner time, there were still a few people standing by the window watching her eat.

In the eyes of outsiders, Su Yue didn't seem to care about standing in the hall and settling the matter, but in regards to Miss Lu's face …

"Sure, I'll follow you to the office!"

Looking around her, Miss Lu did not even think much before she immediately agreed, her face turning red at some point in time.

Su Yue turned around and led the way to her office, followed by the restaurant manager.

Arriving at the office, Miss Lu sat down on the sofa without waiting for Su Yue to say hello.

Su Yue sat at the side and looked at the shop manager with a cold expression, asking what was going on.

After the shop manager's explanation, Su Yue finally understood the whole story. So it turned out that Miss Lu's limited edition bag, which was worth over a hundred thousand yuan, had been accidentally filled with soup by a waiter.

The one hundred thousand yuan white satchel was placed on the tea table, and it was extremely eye-catching as Miss Lu leisurely drank her coffee. Su Yue's expression was very calm, and her heart was burning with anxiety. That was a limited amount of money bag, and even if that waiter was in the wrong, it wouldn't be enough to compensate her for her salary.

However, this happened right in the middle of the cafeteria, and there was no way for Su Yue to leave it at that. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge forward.

Su Yue said apologetically, "Miss Lu, this matter was caused by the mistake of one of my employees, but we will do our best to compensate you for this loss. Can you minimize this loss?"

Miss Lu was stunned for a moment. She slowly placed the coffee cup on the table, maintaining her arrogant attitude and said faintly: "Lower? How to lower it? I suppose it's not that you don't want to be responsible for this? "

Su Yue quickly explained, "Miss Su, we didn't mean that …"

"What does that mean?"

Before Su Yue could finish her sentence, Miss Lu asked.

Su Yue felt helpless …

Miss Lu did not pay any attention to Su Yue. She took out a piece of paper and a pen from her bag and wrote down her phone number.

"I'm in a hurry, you guys settle the matters regarding the bag. Once it's settled, give me a call. Don't be delusional and casually solve it. I'll need to personally inspect it!"
