97: A warm "little home"

Cao Lang hadn't returned to the hotel for the past few days.

This left Li Meng feeling quite dejected.

After all, she was Cao Lang's dedicated private butler. If the VIP had no needs, she had no value!

Just as Li Meng was feeling bored out of her mind at the Xiwier Hotel, she suddenly received a call from Cao Lang.

He wanted her to be his true private butler!

For a moment, Li Meng couldn't believe it, but her years of professional tempering allowed her to quickly calm down and start asking Cao Lang about the specifics!

"Mr. Cao, how large of a house do you need me to manage, and where is it located? Do you need me to start immediately?"

Three simple questions covered all the information she needed to know.

See, this is what you call service!

Considerate and meticulous!

Cao Lang gave her a general overview, and Li Meng immediately processed the information!

The location was Tan Palace! CEO Cao was hosting a dinner for his employees tonight!

"I am very willing to work for you. I will first arrange a private chef and housekeeping staff for you now so that you can smoothly host today's dinner banquet."

Li Meng immediately displayed her professional competence. She quickly contacted Shanghai's most high-end housekeeping service company, and in less than an hour, she had arranged for three private chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants and five professional cleaning ladies to rush to the scene.

"CEO Cao, the chefs were poached from the Pudong Shangri-La Hotel, and the cleaning team is composed of high-end service personnel exclusive to Tan Palace." Li Meng's voice carried a hint of excitement as she reported her work.

On the other end of the line, Cao Lang nodded in satisfaction; Li Meng's efficiency was indeed beyond reproach.

After handling all of this, Li Meng went to the changing room and shed her Xiwier Hotel uniform, revealing well-proportioned, slender legs wrapped in gray silk stockings. Her black hair draped over one shoulder, and in the mirror, her face was exquisite and fair, with subtle crow's feet at the corners of her eyes bearing witness to her years of experience.

Her entire being, from head to toe, exuded the unique sexy charm of a mature woman, along with the aura of a beautiful, sophisticated wife and mother.

Li Meng was forty years old; her son had already taken the college entrance exam, and her younger daughter was a high school freshman.

It was truly not easy for her to still maintain such a graceful and charming temperament!

Li Meng quickly changed into a pair of nude silk stockings, put on a long white skirt and a chiffon shirt, carefully smoothed her hair in front of the mirror, and prepared to head to Tan Palace!

As soon as Cao Lang's call came, she had chosen to jump ship without hesitation!

Who would still work for Xiwier Hotel if they could be a private butler at Tan Palace?

There was simply no need to consider which of the two jobs carried more weight!

...Tan Palace.

The security guard Li Qiang escorted a plainly dressed elderly woman and a young girl to the door.

"Hello, I am Duo Duo's grandmother. Tangtang said to have me bring the child over." The old woman's voice was a bit nervous, and her eyes were filled with restraint.

"Mom!" Wang Tangtang hurriedly went to meet her. "You've worked hard, come in and have a seat."

The little girl looked to be about seven or eight years old, with two pigtails and a little pink dress. Her large eyes blinked and flickered, looking incredibly well-behaved.

She timidly hid behind her grandmother, secretly sizing up this magnificent, golden house.

Cao Lang walked over, crouching down to be at eye level with the little girl. "You must be Duo Duo, right?"

"Hello, Uncle..." Duo Duo's voice was soft and sweet, like cotton candy.

Looking at this exquisitely carved little face, Cao Lang's heart was instantly melted by the cuteness. This child was simply an angel; no wonder Wang Tangtang treasured her so much.

"Does Duo Duo want to see Uncle's big house?" Cao Lang held out his hand.

The little girl hesitated for a moment before finally taking Cao Lang's hand. That little hand was so soft that Cao Lang's heart was about to melt.

"Come, Uncle will take you for a tour!"

Cao Lang took Duo Duo's hand and led her off to play.

Seeing this scene, Wang Tangtang showed a gratified smile.

Such a warm picture caused a sense of happiness to well up in her heart, which had been empty for many years as a single mother.

Xue Ziqi, Xu Yizhen, and the other actresses, along with director Zheng Yi, peered cautiously around the living room.

"Do you think it would be too flashy if we took a photo now and posted it to our Friend Circle?" a minor actress quietly took out her phone.

"Take it, take it! How many times in a lifetime do you get an opportunity like this?" Xue Ziqi had already started posing.

"Wait, I want to take one too!" Xu Yizhen quickly joined in. The two linked arms with priceless works of art as their backdrop.

The chefs and housekeeping services had arrived. Li Meng had already given instructions, so they immediately got busy as soon as they reached Tan Palace.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Holding Duo Duo's hand and watching this warm and harmonious scene, Cao Lang felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction welling up inside.

In the future, every bedroom in the house would be filled with a mistress. When he woke up, he could have friendly interactions; what a wonderful thing that would be.

This should be realized very soon.

He, who didn't usually like posting to his Friend Circle, captured this scene and posted it.

[Home is not about how luxurious it is, but about how warm it is.]

The comment section below:

College roommate Jia Jie: "Stealing pictures to show off again. Hurry up and get online! How long has it been since I saw you play League! Are you trying to die!"

Childhood friend Wang Meng: "Bro, I saw someone on TikTok who looks a lot like you! Except he's way more handsome than you!"

Li Na: "Please save a bedroom for me, thanks."

High school class beauty and white moonlight Li Shuang: "Old classmate, does what you said last time about introducing me to a job still count? I was laid off."

Cao Lang replied to Li Shuang: "It counts. Do you want to come?"

Li Shuang: "What position? How much is the salary?"

Cao Lang: "You can choose the position. As for the salary, is twenty thousand okay?"

Li Shuang: "Really!!! If you're serious, I'll take the train over tonight!"

Cao Lang: "Honest service for all."

Among the many comments in the section, Cao Lang only placed importance on Li Shuang.

After all, she was his white moonlight.

Before obtaining the system, Cao Lang's longing for Li Shuang was the type that grew day by day. This longing was especially strong late at night, when thousands of shut-ins collectively felt emo.

It could make Cao Lang squat alone by the roadside, with only a can of beer on the curb and a whole night's worth of smoke swirling around him for company.

Back then, they both had feelings for each other, but through a series of mishaps, they simply missed their chance.

The girl thought the boy was uninterested, while the boy felt he wasn't worthy! Or he simply couldn't see the other's hints at all.

When dead memories suddenly attack the victim, the victim recalls every little bit of the past, obsessing over every detail and replaying every sentence.

The conclusion reached is usually: if I were given another chance, I would definitely confess!

Unfortunately, girls mature early while boys mature late. Everyone's blooming period is different, and they can no longer empathize with the feelings of that year.

Cao Lang's biggest regret was being too ignorant in his youth. He could feel that Li Shuang liked him, but he didn't dare to take that step proactively!

This feeling can only be a memory now; one can only sigh that at the time, one was already lost in it.

You can never possess youth and the feeling of youth at the same time.

"Uncle Cao, you look a little unhappy." Duo Duo pulled Cao Lang's large hand, her big eyes staring at him.

Cao Lang stroked Duo Duo's head and said with a smile, "Duo Duo, Uncle is very happy."
