Chapter 59: Red Mill

  Su Yingxue's expression changed, and she asked hesitantly: "Mrs. Mu, you... know about my mother?"

  "Of course, when Qingcheng International was first established, it was your mother who single-handedly created it. It can be said that up to this day, although Qingcheng International is nominally founded by your father, if not for your mother's talent and guidance, your father wouldn't have been able to build it into such a large scale so quickly. When your mother was still alive, you were young and may not have understood much about business, but she was the most talented woman I've ever met in my life, and just like you, extremely beautiful."

  Su Yingxue listened and her eyes became slightly red, murmuring: "When I was young... Mom never mentioned work to me, I thought... she was just a housewife..."

  "Hehe, the biggest difference between you and your mother is that although your mother is talented and beautiful, she has no intention of doing business, only occasionally helping your father."

  But you, however, have a very strong ambition and entrepreneurial spirit, which is probably the biggest difference between you and your mother. I also value this aspect of yours and hope that my legacy can be transformed in your hands.

  "Of course, I'm not intentionally asking you for anything either. Just go with the flow and use your own judgment to do things," said Mrs. Mu with a sigh.

  Su Yingxue showed interest and eagerly asked: "Madam, can you tell me more about my mother's past? My father never mentions it to me..."

  "Madam Mu opened her mouth, but then regretfully said: 'I also don't know much, I'm old and some things have faded from memory. If you have the chance, it's better to ask your father.'"

  Su Yingxue's face fell, the image of her mother in her memory had always been a housewife, but after she took over Qincheng International, she felt more or less that many important constructive works of the company at that time were not something her father would do.

  If what Mrs. Mu said was true, then it was Mother's doing back then, and Mother was absolutely not ordinary at that time.

  It's good for Father and other old men in the company too, they almost never mention Mother's past.

  It's rare for Mrs. Mu to seem like she knows something, but she won't say any more either.

  Su Yingxue didn't want to force the issue, so she had no choice but to give up. However, in her heart, she was even more curious - what special background did her mother have that made these people all avoid talking about it?

  Mrs. Mu saw Su Yingxue's loss and felt a pang of guilt in her heart, secretly thinking that it was not intentional concealment, but also for your own good...

  An old and a young person chatted for a while, then Su Yingxue asked Zhang Jing to bring another contract, which was the formal completion of the handover.

  Mrs. Mu left, unable to bear Su Yingxue's repeated requests, and reluctantly accepted the watch, also inviting Su Yingxue to visit her in Los Angeles in the future, and Su Yingxue naturally agreed with a smile.

  An "exciting" morning passed, Su Yingxue felt a little hungry while being in a good mood.

  Suddenly remembered Lin Fei hadn't come back for so long, so I made a phone call over there.

  Lin Fei just made it back to the company when he received a call, and upon hearing Su Yingxue's cheerful tone, saying she wanted to go out for lunch, he knew that the contract signing must have gone smoothly.

  Of course, Lin Fei did not know that there were so many twists and turns in between.

  Lin Fei was too lazy to go up, so he waited in the garage for his boss to come down.

  After waiting for over ten minutes, I finally saw her. Not only did Su Yingxue come herself, but Xu Wei also came with her!

  Lin Fei got out of the car and opened the door eagerly. "Hey, Su Zong, you're going with Xu Wei Jie too?"

  "Look at you, so excited... What's wrong, didn't you say you wanted to invite Wei to dinner? Can't I help you invite her?"

  Su Yingxue was also in a good mood, hoping someone would share her joy. Her only good sister was Xu Wei. Anyway, Lin Fei said he wanted to treat them to dinner, so she invited Xu Wei along.

  Xu Wei was actually quite busy, but she knew that Su Yingxue wasn't the type to be particularly happy and would never go out for a meal outside of work hours, so she didn't want to spoil her mood.

  "Of course, I'd love to", Lin Fei said with a wink at Xu Wei.

  Xu Wei covered her mouth and smiled, giving him a white eye, but her heart was filled with sweetness.

  Su Yingxue found that the two people were exchanging flirtatious glances, which made her feel a bit uncomfortable. But since they had all been called over, she couldn't let Xu Wei leave, and with her strong personality, she subconsciously didn't think she would lose to Xu Wei, so she didn't bother thinking about it anymore.

  After getting on the car, Lin Fei asked: "Director Su, where are we going to eat?"

  Su Yingxue consulted with Xu Wei: "Weiwei, the salary I pay this guy is already high. Since he wants to invite us out so badly, you go ahead and name a place."

  "Today is for you to celebrate, of course it's up to you", Xu Wei was a bit embarrassed to speak up, so she pushed it off to Su Yingxue.

  Su Da CEO was not polite at all, her beautiful eyes rolled and said: "Lin Fei, aren't you good at French? Then go to Moulin Rouge."

  Lin Fei was taken aback, "The Red Mill? Isn't that an opera?"

  "You really understand......" Su Yingxue said: "That is the name of a French restaurant, and the boss himself is a great chef from France, and the waiters are also French."

  Although Chinese can be spoken inside, in order to ensure the accuracy and reasonableness of each dish, the menu is all in foreign languages. If there is someone who understands French, it will be very convenient and not easy to order wrong dishes.

  Lin Fei was amazed, he didn't know there were such places. It turned out that the restaurants Su Yingxue had been to and his own were not in the same league at all.

  Xu Wei behind him was somewhat surprised, "Lin Fei, it turns out you also understand French?"

  Lin Fei smiled awkwardly, "After all, I've been abroad for a few years, so I understand a little bit."

  "That's impressive, I can barely speak English, Xiaoxue only knows how to say a few words in English. We wanted to go to that restaurant before, but we couldn't communicate effectively and were worried that we wouldn't be able to find anyone who speaks French."

  Su Yingxue remained silent, thinking to herself, still pretending, sooner or later I'll dig out all your secrets.

  The car headed towards the restaurant using the navigation system.

  All the way, Su Yingxue was talking about work-related things with Xu Wei, and the two women completely forgot that Lin Fei existed.

  It has to be said that Su Yingxue's professionalism is still impressive to Lin Fei, just by listening to the details she mentioned, it can be known how focused she is when doing things.

  The Red Mill restaurant is located on the coast of Lin'an in the northeast, listening to the sound of the tide, looking at the winding beach, which is very much in line with the French romantic sentiment.

  The red elegant building style, also makes people temporarily placed in the Champs-élysées, with a nostalgic flavor of the eighteenth century.

  The luxury cars outside the restaurant are almost all worth more than two million, and there aren't many of them. They're all driving on high-end routes. Lin Fei suddenly feels like he's been cheated, his salary is probably not even enough to eat one meal here...

  Fortunately, I still got a check for one million from Su Xingyuan. At worst, let Su Yingxue help out with the payment first and then return the money to her later.

  A French white beauty respectfully opened the door and led the three into the dining room, where European aristocratic decorations made the entire interior like a small palace.

  Unlike Chinese restaurants that use private rooms, this Western restaurant retains the habits of Westerners, arranging each table in a large hall. The exquisite leather sofa and solid wood tables and chairs are surrounded by the faint scent of French cheese in the air.

  After sitting down at a small table for four, Su Yingxue and Xu Wei saw that the waiter hadn't arrived yet, so they went to the restroom together first.

  Perhaps because the people dining here are all upper-class, and many of them are foreigners, even two women who are rarely seen beauties did not attract much attention, everyone politely lowered their voices to enjoy their meal and bask in the afternoon sunlight.

  Lin Fei could somewhat understand why Su Yingxue liked to come to this kind of place, it wasn't that she looked down on the common people, but being with people from the same social class made her feel more at ease.

  Just as Lin Fei was about to order some bread to fill his stomach, he saw a waiter leading a man and a woman walking in this direction.

  The man was elegant and refined, while the woman was gentle and soft-spoken; they were none other than Zhang Chen and Liu Jinglan, whom he had met just two days ago.

  Zhang Cheng, who was boasting with Liu Jinglan, also saw Lin Fei sitting in front of him at this time, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he slightly frowned.

  Lin Fei suddenly fixed his gaze on Liu Jinglan, and he keenly discovered that the left arm in Liu Jinglan's beige long-sleeved shirt was somewhat unnatural when moving...
