The next day was the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Li Ze got up early from his very large and comfortable bed.
After he finished washing up, he put on a very high-end casual outfit.
Today, just like yesterday, he will go out to the Zeran Flower Shop in Han City Tiandi and stay there.
Of course, his going there to manage the flower shop was just a side thing.
His real main purpose was to be able to watch Zhang Ruoran working in the restaurant diagonally across the street from there.
Li Ze's face lit up with a happy smile at the thought of Zhang Ruoran.
He feels that he is living a very fulfilling life now.
At that moment, Li Ze suddenly remembered something.
His older brother, Li Guoqing, had called him before, saying that the village would be holding a dragon lantern parade on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and that Li Ze must return to the township to participate.
Li Ze made a mental calculation.
He plans to take his wife and children with him to the dragon lantern parade on the 15th, so that everyone can have some fun.
Of course, there's also the matter of Li Qiang, the eldest brother's son.
We had agreed that Li Qiang would come to Wuhan to find him after the Chinese New Year and work at his security company.
After thinking about it, Li Ze decided that there was no need to rush Li Qiang's job appointment.
We can wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to play the dragon lantern in the village, and everyone can celebrate the Lantern Festival in a lively atmosphere.
Then we can take Li Qiang back to Han City and arrange for him to start working at the company. It won't be too late at all.
This time arrangement is just right.
After thinking things through, Li Ze left the room and went to the very spacious dining room.
Some prepared breakfast was already laid out on the huge dining table in the restaurant.
There was hot milk and freshly baked bread on the table, which smelled delicious.
Just as Li Ze pulled out a chair, preparing to sit down and eat breakfast, he heard the sound of high heels on the floor.
He turned his head to look over.
He noticed that Dai Chong, the young and beautiful woman his son Li Menghan had brought home the previous night, was already up at this time.
Dai Chong had already finished washing up, and she had put on a very exquisite makeup.
She was wearing the same figure-hugging business suit she wore yesterday, and carrying a handbag; she looked like she was about to leave.
Li Ze sat in the chair with a very easygoing smile on his face.
He looked at Dai Chong and, as an elder, casually asked:
"Young lady, up so early? It's the Lunar New Year holiday, are you rushing to work?"
When Dai Chong heard Li Ze speak to her first, her heart skipped a beat.
She looked at Li Ze, and a slightly embarrassed but very polite smile immediately appeared on her face.
She replied:
"Yes, Uncle. Our car dealership has always had a rule that we start work at nine in the morning."
"It takes a little time to get from this neighborhood to our store. So I have to get up early, otherwise I'll be late for work."
Upon hearing this answer, Li Ze nodded in understanding.
He knew that working was not easy for ordinary people, and they worked very hard to earn money.
He stretched out his hand, pointed to the dining table in front of him, and said to Dai Chong:
"Oh, I see. That must be very kind of you. Please make yourself at home here and don't feel uncomfortable at all."
Li Ze continued:
"Look, this table is full of prepared breakfast. But this only contains milk and bread. There are many other breakfast options in the kitchen."
"Just go into the kitchen and pick out whatever kind of breakfast you want. It's better for your health to eat a full meal before going to work."
Dai Chong was very happy to hear Li Ze say that.
She felt that Li Zezhen was a very approachable and wealthy man.
She quickly bowed to Li Ze and said in a very sweet voice:
"Thank you, Uncle. You're so kind."
In fact, Dai Chong really didn't like eating the milk and bread on the table.
She is a native of Seoul and doesn't like eating Western food in the morning.
So, carrying her bag, she followed the direction Li Ze pointed and went into the very large open kitchen next door.
The moment Dai Chong stepped into the kitchen, she froze on the spot.
Her eyes were wide open, and her mouth was agape.
This was truly the first time she had ever seen such an exaggerated scene.
This enormous kitchen is filled with all sorts of advanced cooking equipment.
What shocked her even more was that dozens of completely different breakfast items were neatly arranged on the kitchen's warming counter.
Dai Chong glanced over and saw the hot dry noodles that Han City people love to eat, which were covered with very rich sesame paste.
Next to it were very exquisite Cantonese breakfast items, including shrimp dumplings and siu mai, steaming hot in small bamboo steamers.
Not only that, she also saw the flatbread and fried dough sticks that northerners love to eat, accompanied by steaming hot soy milk.
Looking further to the side, there was even a very high-end French breakfast, as well as freshly baked American apple pie.
Looking at these things, Dai Chong was filled with indescribable shock.
She felt that this place was more like a five-star hotel's buffet restaurant than an ordinary family's kitchen.
It can be said that this one kitchen alone encompasses breakfasts from all over the world.
Whatever you want to eat, you can find it here.
Moreover, all the food is made with the finest ingredients.
While Dai Chong was still in a daze, a chef with a foreign appearance and wearing a tall chef's hat saw her.
The foreign chef, with a very warm smile, said something in French to Dai Chong.
This French phrase is a greeting to her.
Dai Chong was just an ordinary car saleswoman; she couldn't understand French at all.
She felt extremely embarrassed when she heard this foreign language that she couldn't understand at all.
She could only blush and give the foreign chef an awkward smile, then quickly nod.
Dai Chong dared not linger in the kitchen.
She quickly went forward and took a bowl of her favorite and most familiar hot dry noodles from the warming station.
She carried the bowl of hot dry noodles and slowly walked out of the kitchen.
On the short walk back to the restaurant, Dai Chong's heart remained unsettled for a long time.
This was the first time in her life that she had been so closely and realistically shocked by the lives of the wealthy.
She thought to herself with great emotion:
"So this is what life is like for the super-rich."
"Even the breakfast we eat every morning is something that ordinary people like us can't afford at all."
"This is so luxurious, so enviable."
Thinking of this, Dai Chong gripped the rim of the bowl containing the hot dry noodles tightly with his fingers.
A very determined glint flashed in her eyes.
Yesterday, while she was selling the car, she had already made up her mind to seize Li Menghan, this rich second-generation.
Now that she has seen the big house with her own eyes, and the foreign chefs and the sumptuous breakfast, she is even more determined to marry into this wealthy family.
She felt that as long as she could become the young mistress of the Li family, she could live like this every day.
She no longer has to get up early every day to stand in the car dealership and sell cars, and she no longer has to put up with the customers' attitudes.
Dai Chong is a very intelligent and shrewd woman.
She knew very well that successfully marrying into such a top-tier wealthy family was by no means an easy task.
The first thing to do after marrying into a wealthy family is, of course, to firmly win over Li Menghan, this rich young master.
As long as Li Menghan likes her and can't live without her, she's already halfway to success.
However, Dai Chong also knew that simply winning over Li Menghan was not enough.
Li Menghan's father is Li Ze, who is sitting in the restaurant right now.
Li Ze's relationship is also extremely important.
Because Li Ze is the one who truly controls enormous wealth and absolute power in this family.
If Li Ze doesn't like her and doesn't agree to her being with Li Menghan, then no matter how much Li Menghan likes her, she will definitely not be able to enter the Li family in the end.
She had to make a very good impression on Li Ze.
She wanted to take advantage of the fact that it was just the two of them in the restaurant to make a good impression.
Thinking of this, Dai Chong immediately composed his facial expression.
She put on a very gentle and polite smile.
She carried the bowl of hot dry noodles to the large dining table.
There were plenty of empty seats, but Dai Chong didn't just sit down anywhere.
She deliberately walked to the opposite side of Li Ze.
Then, she pulled out a chair and deliberately sat directly opposite Li Ze.
