Chapter 517 Empathy
Located in the secluded Blue Lake Bay of the New Xilan Luxury Hot Spring Resort, there are several villas of different sizes surrounding the Blue Lake.
In one area, there are many two-story villas, and there is only one villa closest to the Blue Lake.
The surface of the villa has a milky blue color that is closest to the Blue Lake. Maybe it is night now and only the street lights are shining, so it is not very obvious.
At this time, this rather special little villa was bustling with activity, except for the first floor where no one was barbecuing.
The aroma of barbecue fills the air, and if you smell it carefully, you can distinguish the aroma of various ingredients.
In particular, after sprinkling with cumin, chili powder and other seasonings required for barbecue, the aroma of the meat is no longer just the aroma of meat, it is as if it is sprinkled with a soul, making people drool.
At this time, on the long sofa in the middle of the open terrace on the second floor, Li Chuyue took the initiative to reach out and take another plate of delicious food grilled by Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong.
After politely thanking her, she placed the freshly baked food on the sofa next to her and sat at the table in front of Jiang Yunhan, Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Xiao, who she had invited.
After Jiang Yunhan expressed her gratitude with a smile, Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Xiao, who were sitting next to her, got Jiang Yunhan's consent and immediately started eating skewers happily again.
Li Chuyue saw Xiaozhuo and Xiaoxiao eating so happily. She seemed to see Chen Yaxin, a foodie whose mood would improve as long as there was delicious food, and she smiled happily.
Then, she looked up at Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong who had been grilling food non-stop and were about to go back to continue grilling.
With a smile on her face and a friendly tone, she called Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong and said:
"I didn't expect you to work overtime to help us prepare these. Actually, you don't need to worry about what happens tonight, just do your normal work."
Tang Hezi turned around and looked at Li Chuyue, her heart filled with gratitude, and replied respectfully:
"It's okay, Cuirong and I are bored and have nothing to do when we get home from get off work anyway.
And we are happy to stay here and offer our services to show our gratitude, especially to the elderly..."
Tang Hezi was halfway through her words when Li Chuyue noticed from the corner of her eye that Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Xiao, who were eating happily, were looking over at her.
She suddenly remembered what happened in her private villa not long ago, and immediately interrupted Tang Hezi's words of exposing her resort owner, and said with a smile:
"Ahem! Hahaha, old friend! We are all old friends! Stop saying these polite words!
Come on! You guys have already grilled a lot of food, and there’s more than one staff member grilling over there, so you’re welcome, sit down and eat together!
Hearing this, Xu Zhishan, who was sitting next to Li Chuyue and had remained silent because of Jiang Yunhan's arrival, spoke up:
"Look! I told you Chu Yue would be like me and let you sit down and have barbecue together!
So don't worry, just be grateful.
We are also destined to meet each other. You must have had a hard time meeting that stupid customer today. Let's sit down and rest together, and eat some delicious barbecue to make up for it!"
Ou Junli, who was sitting next to Xu Zhishan, also echoed Xu Zhishan's words and invited:
"You two sisters have worked really hard all day! So don't refuse anymore!"
Chen Yaxin, who was sitting on another long sofa, happily ate skewers while patting the empty seat next to her and bewitching her with an interesting story:
"Yes! We are all very casual. If we consider you to be friends, we will really treat you as true friends.
Please sit here with me. I just wanted to share with you how Bai Yixin targeted and bullied me in the coffee shop.
Do you want to know what super cool thing happened next? Come over here and I'll tell you something funnier than what happened today!
At this time, Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong saw that everyone was so approachable and enthusiastic, and it didn't feel like they were being polite at all.
This made them grateful, and they gradually relaxed their tense nerves from working hard in front of their boss, and relaxed smiles appeared on their faces.
In particular, when they heard that Chen Yaxin was bullied by the same people who had targeted them, they felt a sense of sympathy.
They were also very curious about the super cool follow-up that Chen Yaxin was going to talk about, as if they were really bewitched by Chen Yaxin's words.
So, under everyone's enthusiastic gaze, Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong took off the gloves they wore when grilling.
While expressing their gratitude, they slowly sat down next to Chen Yaxin.
Seeing this, Chen Yaxin smiled happily and took the beef skewers that she thought were the most delicious and handed them to Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong.
At this time, Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong still looked a little reserved, and they were hesitant in reaching out to take the skewers.
After all, as hotel employees, they know that the ingredients used for barbecue are the freshest and best, and the price is much more expensive than ordinary ingredients.
Although they had already sat down, they still felt embarrassed and couldn't bear to eat such expensive food when they had come to work overtime.
Chen Yaxin, who had been in the same mood as Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong, noticed their discomfort.
She has always been taken care of by the wealthy Li Chuyue and Xu Zhishan, and understands that Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong are feeling uneasy and stressed.
Chen Yaxin deliberately sat closer to Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong. She leaned closer to them, used the big skewer as a shield, and whispered:
"It's okay, eat without worry. Even if you eat all the food here, Chu Yue won't go bankrupt.
And Chu Yue would be very happy to see that you are full. That's just the kind of person she is.
If you feel guilty about eating too much, please help Chu Yue protect her important resort. I believe this is also a good way to repay you, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong felt as if they had suddenly understood everything. They immediately understood what Chen Yaxin meant.
Then, they relaxed and ate the delicious beef skewers in their hands.
Afterwards, as they listened to what Chen Yaxin shared, they ate more and more comfortably, and they became more and more determined to manage the New Xilan Luxury Hot Spring Resort for Li Chuyue.
At this time, Li Chuyue saw Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong integrated into the group, and she was indeed very happy as Chen Yaxin said.
In particular, Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong did not reveal the fact that they were the owners of the resort in front of Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Xiao, so she was able to keep the secret for the time being.
However, Xu Zhishan, who was particularly sensitive today, noticed something wrong in Li Chuyue's previous words.
After thinking about it for a while, she still couldn't figure it out, so she leaned close to Li Chuyue's ear with a curious look on her face and asked in a low voice:
"What old friends? Chu Yue, have you known Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong before?
Then why didn't you recognize each other when you confronted Bai Yixin in the restaurant before?
Or... is there some other reason why you're pretending not to know me?"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Li Chuyue didn't expect that Xu Zhishan, who was usually the most carefree, would care about these little things. She was so surprised that she coughed repeatedly.
