Chapter 177 He'd be a fool to like you.
The meeting lasted for more than three hours.
Although the meeting was primarily focused on resolving Ryan's situation, they also discussed other specific strategies in detail, considering Ryan's current backing.
The meeting finally ended, and Sera dragged her tired body back to the company.
My stomach was growling with hunger on the way back to the company.
Before she stepped into the company, she instructed her assistant to prepare lunch for her, and then went straight to her office.
Then, in front of the office door, she saw Lennon, who was wearing a mink coat and really looked like a bear from a distance.
"Sister, you're finally back!"
Upon seeing Sera, Lennon immediately stood up and ran over excitedly.
Seeing her nemesis brother, Sera's face turned serious and gloomy. "What are you doing here?"
"I brought you some food! Sis, I know you must be very hungry after working all day. I brought you a lot of dumplings, I've been holding them all this time. The heating is on now, so please eat up!"
Lennon took out a large box of dumplings from his pocket.
Sera was initially angry, but when she saw the dumplings he had brought out, she felt both angry and helpless. He could have waited for her in the office, but he insisted on waiting outside, hoping that she could eat dumplings as soon as she came back.
Her younger brother may be slow-witted, but he's genuinely good to her.
However, when Lennon opened the box, she was somewhat surprised to find it full of dumplings.
Qiyuan Restaurant's dumplings come in boxes of only 16, so the boxes are quite small. But Lunnong's box is huge, crammed full of dumplings. It's obvious it's not from Qiyuan Restaurant. I asked, "Are there any other restaurants in Juecheng that sell these?"
"No, dumplings are only sold at Qiyuan's restaurant."
"They've started offering larger portions of dumplings at their restaurant?"
Sera initially looked down on Qi Yuan's restaurant, after all, it used to be hers, but she gave it away to him because her stupid younger brother caused trouble.
To this end, she deliberately used some tricks to ensure that the restaurant didn't earn a single penny under Qi Yuan's management. However, after Qi Yuan personally renovated the restaurant, its business improved day by day.
Everyone who had tried the dishes at Qiyuan Restaurant said they were delicious, so out of curiosity, Sera asked her subordinates to buy her a serving of dumplings.
As a result, after just one bite of dumplings, she became a loyal fan of Qiyuan Restaurant, although she also secretly tried the congee hot pot at Qiyuan Restaurant in between.
However, she doesn't really like hot pot; she only likes dumplings, and she can eat three boxes of them every day without getting tired of them.
Why only eat three boxes?
It's because Qiyuan's restaurant only sells three boxes per person at a time.
Ever since someone started paying people to queue up, anyone can come and buy fifty or sixty boxes at a time. The price of dumplings isn't high for them, but it takes time to make them.
It's impossible for the staff to make so many dumplings so quickly, so in order to ensure that everyone in line can buy dumplings, the limit is three boxes per person.
The line to buy dumplings is always long. Even if Serado sends a few people to queue, the best they can do is buy nine boxes.
Sera never expected that she, as the head of one of the four great families, would be unable to enjoy her dumplings to her heart's content.
So much so that now, seeing such a large box full of dumplings brings her happiness.
"No, they still only buy the kind of dumplings that come in boxes of 16. The box I have is this much because I asked them to when I went into their kitchen."
With half a dumpling in her mouth, Sera's lips froze upon hearing Lennon's words. She looked at her brother seriously and asked, "Why did you go to their kitchen? Did you go and cause trouble for Qi Yuan again?"
"No, I didn't cause trouble for Qi Yuan." Lun Nong lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, lost in memories. "Qi Yuan is even more handsome now. I'm someone who likes handsome people, so I wouldn't cause him any trouble."
"Not causing trouble for Qi Yuan? You've finally seen the light and aren't going to fight him for Noah anymore?" Sera's eyes were full of expectation, hoping that her silly younger brother could forget his grand plan.
"I'll still try to steal it, but I've thought of a better way. I'm going to become friends with Qi Yuan! That way I can be with Qi Yuan every day and see Noah. If I can appear in front of Noah every day, he'll definitely like me."
There's no way he'd like you!
Sera sighed and rubbed her forehead. She thought that since her younger brother was always with Qi Yuan, Noah would become even more aware of Qi Yuan's good looks and might even like Qi Yuan more.
After all, she found her own younger brother's appearance somewhat distasteful.
"If you're going to stay by Qi Yuan's side, don't have any wicked thoughts, and don't hurt him. If you hurt him, Noah will kill you, and I won't be able to save you," Sera warned, before continuing to eat her dumplings.
"Sister, why don't you believe me? I told you I wouldn't hurt Qi Yuan. He's so handsome and kind. You have no idea how good he is. I almost killed him, but when I talked to him about opening a restaurant together, he actually agreed."
"Cough cough!"
Sera coughed violently twice, spitting out all the dumplings in her mouth.
It took her a while to come to her senses.
"What did you just say? He's willing to open a restaurant with you?"
"Yes."
"He didn't lie to you? He didn't fool you? You weren't fooled by him, were you?!"
Sera found this incredible!
When Lennon was not thinking clearly, he bribed a servant in the Davis family to harm Qi Yuan. Unless Qi Yuan did not know that Lennon had harmed him, how could he possibly cooperate with him?
"No kidding, sis. Qi Yuan is a very nice guy. He seems to have a better temper than Noah."
"What do you know! You idiot, you'd be helping the other person count the money even after being sold out. Does Qi Yuan know you've harmed him?"
“I know, I told him. I told him that if I don’t cause him any trouble, Noah won’t know how much I like him.”
Sera almost choked on her breath. She resisted the urge to beat her brother up. After all, if it weren't for her stupid brother, she, as a woman, wouldn't have become the head of Milne's family.
"After I finish lunch, I'll go with you to see Qi Yuan!"
"Sister, what are you going to see Qi Yuan for?"
"What else can I do? I'm afraid you'll get scammed!"
In Sera's view, Qi Yuan must have tricked Lennon by agreeing to open a restaurant with him. Otherwise, who would be so magnanimous as to forgive someone who almost killed them?
Sera thought that Qi Yuan must have put in a lot of effort and used some tricks to win Noah's favor.
The person who could fool Noah so easily, her brother is so stupid, he would probably be tricked into donating a kidney and would even praise the other party as a miracle doctor!
Sera was really worried that Lennon had been tricked by Qi Yuan without even realizing it, so she insisted on meeting Qi Yuan in person to see if he was as good and kind as Lennon had said.
