Chapter 119 Our young lady is actually a really nice person!

May in Hangzhou has a pleasant temperature.

The nighttime temperature is 18 degrees.

It's perfect for having hot pot in the courtyard.

The lawn is large enough, so the male bodyguards assembled the newly purchased dining tables into one long table.

They also moved out the projector, screen, and sound system, setting them up in front of the dining table.

"Miss, we're going to play TV in a bit. Would you like to pick a show?" Qu Shu trotted downstairs and came to the poolside.

There was no one in the pool, and Ling Yue walked out of the sauna.

Her whole body was covered in both water and sweat, and her hair was damp.

"Let me see." Ling Yue took the tablet and carefully browsed the movie sources.

After a while, she said, "Let's play 'Empresses in the Palace'; it's a must-watch while eating."

"Okay!" Qu Shu ran off happily.

Ling Yue went back to her bedroom, changed clothes, and went downstairs.

Entering the courtyard, the lawn before her was hung with small white lights of varying heights, positioned on both sides of the long table. They not only illuminated the table for easy picking of food but also added to the atmosphere of the evening meal.

The dining table was covered with a light gray tablecloth, with red wine glasses and rows of fresh flower decorations.

Each person had their own pot; for now, only bowls and plates were set, with no hot pot ingredients laid out yet.

If they wanted something to eat, they could go to the side station along the long table to choose. It was like a buffet, with various foods already cut and plated, placed on dry ice to keep them fresh.

White mist gently descended to the ground, quietly spreading across the lawn, forming a thin layer of fog that unexpectedly added a hazy, dreamlike quality to the night.

Ling Yue couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "What a romantic sense of ritual; I love it, I love it!"

This is how you should enjoy life when you have money.

Ling Yue took the head seat. The table in front of her was filled with specially supplied, top-quality food, and the clear broth pot was already boiling, ready for cooking at any time.

Her seat faced the screen directly. 'Empresses in the Palace' had already started, and it was the episode where they perform the blood test to confirm parentage—top-tier quality for a meal.

Everything was perfect.

Ling Yue picked up her chopsticks. "Everyone, let's start."

At her command, the lawn instantly became lively.

Almost everyone stood up. Some went to make dipping sauces, some went to get food, and others gathered in groups to chat. The key thing was that the Miss didn't actually lose her temper.

The life assistant, Zhao Fang, was shocked by this scene.

She really couldn't help herself and nudged Luo Shanshan's arm. "Doesn't the Miss need someone to take care of her over there?"

This afternoon, Luo Shanshan helped her make the bed, so she was the most familiar with Luo Shanshan here, which is why she asked her first when she had a question.

This was Zhao Fang's first time eating at the same table as her employer.

Her previous employer was very sensitive about hierarchy and did not allow, nor would they ever, eat at the same table as the staff. When the employer was eating, the kitchen staff had to be ready to refill tea and water at any time, and they couldn't talk.

Luo Shanshan's eyes were fixed on the large shrimp. "The Miss said that tonight is a team-building event. By definition, it means everyone happily eats, drinks, and chats together. What we're eating is the lively atmosphere of the team-building."

"Besides, even if it weren't a team-building event, the Miss doesn't like people standing by and watching while she eats."

As she finished speaking, she had already scooped a full bowl of prawns.

Come to think of it, the Miss treats her staff very well and never skimps on food. Although they eat ordinary ingredients, they are fresh, and the quality is much better than a buffet restaurant.

Zhao Fang nodded repeatedly and said, "If that's the case, then our Miss is actually quite nice!"

"Of course! Once you've interacted with her more, you'll know she's practically an angel." Luo Shanshan held the bowl full of shrimp in her left hand and the plate with vegetables in her right, walking back to the dining table with quick, small steps.

Zhao Fang followed her back, putting vegetables into the pot while asking, "Why do you say the Miss is an angel?"

Luo Shanshan swallowed her saliva, staring at the pot. "If you want to, you can also trigger her 'demon mode.' Do you want to try?"

"No, no!" Zhao Fang waved her hands repeatedly. "I just want to earn money honestly and steadily."

"Then why are you asking around so carefully?" Luo Shanshan tilted her head and looked at Zhao Fang.

Zhao Fang explained, "Miss Ling pays a high salary. I have to learn more about her preferences to avoid bad luck or breaking taboos. If she fires me, I'd be devastated."

"I just joined the group chat today and already received 30 big red envelopes. I've never seen such a generous employer."

"That's true." Luo Shanshan felt that Zhao Fang's words made sense and patted her shoulder. "Just work honestly. Let's eat, let's eat."

Zhao Fang lowered her head, preparing to pick up food from the pot. Oh my!

Where did she get food just now? She was too busy chatting with Luo Shanshan.

Then what did she just put into the pot to boil?

Why does it feel... like her right cheek is burning?

She turned her head and saw a man with a fierce expression squinting his eyes and staring at her.

Zhao Fang shuddered in fear.

"I, I'm sorry." Her voice trembled.

This man just cracked open five durians in ten seconds in the kitchen!

He was a tough guy.

Judging by his gaze, it looked like he wanted to flatten her.

Liang Hanlin moved the plate, which now only had one piece of cabbage left, closer to himself. His fierce face was full of stinginess. "Why are you taking things that are already ready?"

"Sorry, sorry." Zhao Fang stood up and smiled awkwardly. "I'll bring you another serving just like it."

"Alright then." Liang Hanlin immediately stopped pursuing the matter.

Everyone ate until their bellies were round. This session satisfied both the soul and the body.

Ling Yue wiped her mouth, put down her napkin, and got up to take a walk in the garden.

Zang Lanyi followed not too far behind, holding a fruit platter and eating.

The rest of the people stayed behind to help clean up.

Seeing the other colleagues so united, the new employees felt their sense of alienation in the new environment fade away inexplicably.

As they say, the better the work atmosphere, the better the mood of the working stiffs; only when colleague relationships are harmonious can work efficiency be improved.

A perfect day ended.

A new morning arrived.

The life assistant, Zhao Fang, was in position.

According to Ling Yue's wake-up time recorded in the employee handbook, she arrived early at the bedroom door to wait.

Hearing movement inside the room, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.

Ling Yue was still groggy. Hearing the knock suddenly, she opened her mouth blankly: "Come in."

Zhao Fang opened the door and came in. Based on her many years of work experience, she very skillfully placed the slippers straight by the bedside first.

Then she helped Ling Yue lift the quilt.

After Ling Yue got out of bed, she entered the bathroom first... to squeeze the toothpaste.

Ling Yue wondered to herself, what is this person doing following me?

She gave her a strange look, but still took the toothbrush from her hand and started brushing her teeth.

As soon as she finished brushing her teeth, the facial cleanser was already lathered up.

After washing her face, Zhao Fang came to her side with a tray containing a sterilized hot towel.

With this level of service, the only thing missing was helping her brush her teeth and wash her face.

Perhaps a wild boar just isn't accustomed to fine fodder.

Ling Yue frowned slightly and said, "Is this your job?"

Zhao Fang nodded and then began to list: "Besides this, it also includes organizing your personal items, timely replenishment of bedding and skincare products, constantly monitoring the weather... and a series of other work tasks."

Ling Yue listened patiently and said, "I see. From now on, I will finish washing up and go downstairs by myself in the morning."

Zhao Fang's thoughts raced.

Does she think I'm too enthusiastic?

It seems the new employer is someone who pays extra attention to boundaries.

Unlike the young lady at her previous employer's house who needed a sense of ritual when waking up.

To use a popular internet phrase: every monkey has a different way of being leashed.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fang put down the tray and tactfully exited the master bedroom space.

Without anyone watching from the side, Ling Yue was indeed much more relaxed.

Breakfast ended.

Ling Yue went to the pavilion and picked up some fish food. While feeding the fish, she watched the gardener crouching on the lawn not far away, clearing away rotten leaves.

Ling Yue suddenly remembered something and sent a message to Cheng Jiao.

Before long, Cheng Jiao came over with Li Xinfeng.

"The construction team contacted by Manager Hong is still in the finishing stage of their previous project. They indicated they would give us an answer within a week." Cheng Jiao first answered the question Ling Yue had asked on WeChat, then immediately added, "Miss, Li Xinfeng has something to report."

Ling Yue lay lazily on the garden bench, pinching a tiny bit of fish food in her hand and tossing it into the pond, watching the big fat fish scramble to open their mouths and swallow it.

"What is it?"
