A Proper Young Lady from a Good Family: Robert (continued)
He treated the Zhang Family this way, and he did the same with his own wig business.
"Aren't you afraid that I, a woman whose mind isn't as sharp as yours, will ruin your business?" Kong Wing-yan tilted her head slightly, thought for a moment, and asked.
Song Tianyao, perched on his saddle, winked at Kong Wing-yan and said lazily, "Once the Foreign Girl is done with her business, all that's left is to play it safe, develop steadily, and make money. There's no need for any more schemes or tricks. After all, the signboard is under the Foreign Girl's name. If anyone tries to cause trouble, just let the Britain handle it."
"I can give it a try, if you're really prepared to hand over the affairs of the trading company to me once the industry environment stabilizes, instead of having me continue doing things like recording daily schedules, answering phones, and making coffee." Kong Wing-yan lazily stretched her arms upwards, which made Song Tianyao had previously categorized Kong Wing-yan as a B-cup flat-chested woman, suddenly realize that he might have been wrong. It was obvious that Kong Wing-yan's breasts weren't as voluptuous as Alice's, but they were still just the right size.
Noticing Song Tianyao's gaze, Kong Wing-yan calmly lowered her arms and looked at Song Tianyao with a half-smile, "Why are you looking at a tomboy like me instead of trying to chat up those two prettier girls who are prettier than me?"
"You are indeed slightly less attractive than the other two, but if I walked up to them and said, 'Miss, could you please raise your arms so I can see your chest?' do you think I'd get punched? So it's better to just enjoy their eyes; at least I won't be called a pervert." Song Tianyao opened a can of beer and laughed.
Kong Wing-yan imagined Song Tianyao walking over to Alice and Tiffany, bowing deeply, and saying, "Miss, please raise your arms, I'd like to take a closer look at your breasts," and she laughed.
The restaurant owner, a 40-year-old United States white man, finally came out to greet the customers after he finished grilling the meat. The restaurant's female singer was his wife. The two of them opened this restaurant in Hong Kong. He designed the overall style of the restaurant himself and then hired a construction company to help build it.
Moreover, the boss knows Tiffany, and it was Tiffany who arranged for the company to host the dinner here.
But Tiffany didn't seem to give him any special looks, which didn't seem like the girl Lu Peiying had said she was going to introduce to him.
Alice, on the other hand, perhaps because she had drunk two cans of beer, had a slightly flushed face and kept asking Song Tianyao to sing and play songs again in her pleasant voice. She was clearly quite fond of Song Tianyao, who could play and sing on the guitar.
The restaurant owner invited the six men to the backyard, where they drank and played guitar around a campfire. Robert drank quite a bit of beer and seemed to have forgotten that he should be focusing on women that night. Instead, he kept rambling on to Song Tianyao his work troubles, occasionally chatting with him about current affairs and venting his frustrations.
Only Chris Chuang, always remembering his purpose, focused all his attention on Alice. He had already found an opportunity to sit next to Alice and tried to find common ground for the two of them.
The Six-Person Dinner ended when the campfire died down. Kong Wing-yan naturally hitched a ride with Song Tianyao after learning that he had driven there. This greatly disheartened Chris Chuang, who was preparing to hail a taxi to take Alice home. He looked at Song Tianyao with displeasure, seemingly jealous that a small pharmacy owner could afford a car while he, a government employee, could only take a taxi.
"Miss Tiffany, how do I get there? Alice, what about you?" Kong Wing-yan whispered in Song Tianyao's ear, "You're lucky, three women are riding in your car, giving you a chance to play the gentleman." Then, she asked Tiffany, who had also come out behind the group.
Tiffany pointed to an Isabella sedan parked in the distance, the same color as her light blue dress. "I'll drive myself. Do you want me to give you a ride?"
"Uh..." Kong Wing-yan was uncharacteristically speechless, seemingly surprised that a university teacher actually owned a car. "No need, I can just hitch a ride with the pharmacy owner; I need to help him sell medicine."
Alice saw the light blue sedan, then glanced at Song Tianyao's all-black, outdated Ford 49, and decisively turned to Tiffany: "Can I ride with you?"
"Certainly."
"Everyone, it was a pleasure to be with you all. See you again next time! Song Tianyao, remember to come sing for me again next time." Alice said to the group, then, like an excited little girl, walked towards the eye-catching car.
Robert and Chris Chuang looked at Song Tianyao. Song Tianyao hadn't expected Alice to call out his name in the end. He awkwardly touched his nose and didn't explain further. Since he didn't plan to see them again anyway, he casually waved goodbye to them, got into the car with Kong Wing-yan, and Huang Liu started the car and drove away quickly.
Tiffany over there also picked up Alice and left.
Slightly drunk, Robert turned around and, finding that even the restaurant owner had gone home, leaving only him and Chris Chuang on the street, his drunkenness vanished instantly. He let out a heavy sigh and said with ease, "I asked you to come with me to meet Song Tianyao, and you really spent the whole night with that big-breasted girl? You bastard, you value your woman over your friend."
"Pretty enough, huh? If I don't look at big-breasted girls, am I supposed to go and fawn over that Song Tianyao? You're the one who wants to see him, not me." Chris Chuang took out a cigarette from his pocket and offered one to the other person. After they each lit one, he spoke.
"His singing is good, and his smile is very friendly. The ease and comfort he exudes don't seem faked, which doesn't match what I heard before. He doesn't seem like an ambitious man who has swallowed up all the orders in the wig industry and is now planning to take over a giant in the stock market. He seems more like an ordinary young man who isn't particularly eye-catching, but definitely not one to be overlooked. Sigh, it's a pity about Miss Tiffany and the big-breasted girl. Both of them are real beauties. I wonder which one Song Tianyao will mistake for a well-bred lady with ulterior motives towards him. What if Song Tianyao also has some feelings for the big-breasted girl and calls the company to ask for her contact information? And if the big-breasted girl happens to give him her contact information because of Song Tianyao's beautiful singing, and they end up getting together, wouldn't that be like us setting up a marriage..." Robert, with a cigarette in his mouth, told Chris Chuang about his thoughts on Song Tianyao that evening.
