Chapter 467 - 456: No Matter Who You Are, You Still Have to Wait in Line!
The next morning.
The sky just began to lighten with a pale blue, a few faint stars still embedded in it. The earth was enveloped in mist, as if shrouded in a silver-grey veil.
Huang Tao’s internal clock woke him from his slumber right on time.
Subconsciously, he opened his eyes and turned his head, his gaze naturally falling on Xuanxuan’s little face.
He noticed a trace of a smile still lingering at the corner of the little one’s lips.
This filled his heart with indescribable warmth, making him want to hug Xuanxuan.
So then...
His hand under the covers reached out towards Xuanxuan...
Huh?
Where had Xuanxuan’s little body gone?
Oh no, darn it~
The little one must have slept in a funny position again!
He quickly turned over and sat up, intending to see for himself...
Oh dear, this is too much!
At some point, Xuanxuan had shifted from sleeping vertically last night to a right-angled direction; her head still nestled against Huang Tao, but her legs stretched towards the wall.
Yet she was sleeping soundly!
Luckily, part of the quilt still covered her, only leaving her lower legs exposed.
Thankfully, the air conditioning had been on for some nights; otherwise, she certainly would have caught a cold.
"It seems she was too excited playing yesterday, which is why she was restless in her sleep."
Feeling regretful for having slept too soundly himself to notice Xuanxuan’s movements, unaware of how long she’d been sleeping like that, Huang Tao carefully adjusted her sleeping posture, all the while thinking he should be less careless at night, even if Xuanxuan seemed more settled these days; it’s crucial to keep a constant watch.
"Hmm~"
In her sleep, Xuanxuan seemed to sense something as she hummed, smacked her lips, and furrowed her brows.
But she didn’t wake up!
Huang Tao gently tucked her back in, then softly smoothed out Niuniu’s forehead, calming her brows.
Xuanxuan smacked her lips again in her dream and continued sleeping.
Seeing she hadn’t awoken, Huang Tao reached out to the bedside cabinet, picked up his phone, and checked the time.
It was still early!
Xuanxuan could probably sleep for another hour or two unless awakened.
Since his parents were home and today was a holiday, he
Tiptoed quietly, dressed, put on slippers, and gently opened the door to leave the room.
Song Cailian, who rose early to tidy up, saw Huang Tao emerge from the bedroom. Just as she was about to inquire, Huang Tao signaled her to be quiet by putting a finger to his lips, indicating not to wake the sleeping Xuanxuan in the room.
Song Cailian nodded knowingly and cautiously approached, standing before him, asking, "Tao, is Xuanxuan still asleep?"
She tried to keep her voice very low.
Huang Tao smiled and nodded, "Yeah, let her sleep some more. Once she wakes, both of you can come to the restaurant for breakfast. I’ll save some soup buns and wontons for you."
"Alright, understood. With your dad and me here, you can head to the restaurant with peace of mind!"
Song Cailian looked at Huang Tao with love and concern, then said, "Oh, by the way, Tao, are you able to handle making those two new products this morning? Perhaps I should come along to the restaurant to help."
She wanted to help her son as much as she could.
Huang Tao shook his head and declined, "Mom, no need. The three assistant chefs at my restaurant are quite competent now and can manage independently, easing my workload greatly. You and Dad should just relax at home."
"You can simply come with Xuanxuan for breakfast later."
Respecting Huang Tao’s wishes, Song Cailian asked, "Really no need?"
"Really!"
"Alright then, I’ll stay home."
Agreeing, she asked, "Do you have any laundry in your room that needs washing? If so, I can wash it later."
Huang Tao shook his head, "Nope, just the few pieces from last night are in the bathroom."
"I’ll take them out after washing up."
Finished speaking, Huang Tao went towards the bathroom.
After washing and tidying himself up, he gathered the laundry and handed it to his mom before changing shoes in preparation to leave.
Just then!
His dad emerged from the second bedroom.
"Oh, Dad, how about we visit the car dealership after I finish work this morning?"
Huang Yide hadn’t quite caught on and asked in puzzlement, "Why the dealership?"
Huang Tao chuckled and replied, "What else? To order a car!"
Song Cailian exclaimed, "Your dad just enrolled, and he hasn’t even taken the first test yet!"
"He’ll pass for sure," Huang Yide assured, patting his chest, "The first test is no problem at all."
Worried, Song Cailian asked, "But what about the second and third tests?"
"Don’t worry; I’ve practiced for the second test already. It’s quite simple, and with my skills, I’ll surely pass,"
Huang Yide confidently assured, "As for the third test, with enough practice, it won’t be a problem either."
Convinced, Song Cailian had nothing to say.
They would let father and son decide!
...
Outside the Delicious Restaurant.
Many locals were already queuing up.
The line was steadily growing.
A Rolls-Royce Phantom Executive and a Maybach parked by the roadside, and seeing the queue getting longer, the two car owners couldn’t wait for their drivers to open the doors, so they got out themselves and ran over.
"Wow, a Rolls-Royce Phantom Executive and a Maybach!"
"Damn~ filthy rich people!"
"Humph! No matter how rich, they’re still behind me in line! I should release a big fart and blow away these damn rich folks!"
"Dude, mind your manners, can you not be so gross?"
The two were Li Yuanfu and Jiang Zhouming.
With the company on a New Year’s break, they each handled their urgent matters, arrived in Wenling City last night, and stayed in their purchased apartments, volunteering to queue up for breakfast first thing this morning.
Simply to grab some of Huang Tao’s breakfast early.
Not easy, truly not easy!
For just a bite, these chairman worth billions had to wake up early and queue up here.
After all, Boss Huang is a man of rules; no matter who you are, everyone queues up honestly to eat at the restaurant.
Breaking the rules means no food from Boss Huang!
Besides them, other big bosses were in the queue too.
"Old Li, Old Jiang, you guys are here too?"
Jiang Mingtao came over, surprised to see them.
Li Yuanfu smiled awkwardly, "My son works here, I came for a visit. How about you, Old Jiang?"
Knowing but keeping quiet, Jiang Mingtao smiled, "My son works here too. I’m thinking of moving my company headquarters here for convenience, and I’ve already found a place. Came to check it out, but arrived early, so I came here for breakfast first."
Whoa~
Now that’s hardcore!
All for a good meal, he’s even moving his company headquarters here!
Li Yuanfu and Jiang Zhouming, realizing Jiang Mingtao’s motives, couldn’t help but look amazed.
After the brief surprise, they thought about relocating their company headquarters here too?
That way, they could be closer and enjoy the food first!
But of course, it’s something that needs thoughtful consideration and planning!
Meanwhile, more taxis stopped by the road, letting off many young folks from various directions, heading towards the line. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"Is it this place? Yes, it’s here!"
"Wow~ quite a crowd!"
"It’s been trending for a couple of days; of course there are lots of people!"
"OMG, how long is this queue gonna take?"
"Regardless, I must try today the food my goddess praised and visited herself. Just how good is it?"
"Hey friends, you guys came here because of the trend? Are you Liu Feifei fans too?"
"Of course!"
"Hahaha, I’m a loyal Liu Feifei fan too, nice meeting you!"
The trend over the past two days began to gain momentum.
Plus, with the New Year’s holiday, many of Liu Feifei’s fans came from afar, hoping to meet their idol, and savor the delicacies she’s been raving about.
No doubt,
This little restaurant owning such fame, unquestionably owes its greatest Thanks to Liu Feifei.
