Chapter 195 From Today on, You Don’t Have to Come to Work Anymore!
Liu Xiaoshuang gently broke free from Li Lingwei's hand, looked at her with complicated eyes, and spoke lightly.
"Li Lingwei, it's not that I won't help you, but... it seems that our relationship in high school was not that good?"
This sentence was like a thorn, piercing Li Lingwei's heart fiercely.
She was stunned, and the expression on her face seemed to be frozen.
She recalled every bit of high school. Indeed, she and Liu Xiaoshuang were not close.
Those so-called "friendships" were nothing more than her wishful fantasy.
Liu Xiaoshuang's words were like a mirror, reflecting Li Lingwei's fragile self-esteem and false friendship.
She suddenly felt dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning.
She leaned against the wall weakly, looking ahead with empty eyes.
It was also at this time that the owner of the restaurant came out and recognized Lin Yuan. After all, Lin Yuan's Wangxiangju was one of the best in Luocheng, and they had heard of Lin Yuan a long time ago.
"Oh, isn't this Boss Lin? Nice to meet you."
"Huh? Do you know me?"
"You're kidding. Who in Los Angeles doesn't know Boss Lin? After all, Wangxiangju is one of the best restaurants."
The boss hurriedly explained.
Lin Yuan smiled slightly and responded politely: "Boss, you are too kind. Wangxiangju can achieve today's success without everyone's support and hard work."
He looked around and noticed that the decoration inside the store was very homely, exuding a warm atmosphere.
He nodded and said to the boss.
"Your store is very distinctive, and the environment is also very tasteful."
After hearing this, the boss showed a proud smile on his face and introduced proudly.
"Boss Lin is really a discerning person. I spent a lot of thought on this store. From site selection to decoration, to the selection of dishes, every step is carefully planned."
As he said, he pointed to several calligraphy and paintings on the wall and continued.
"These are all selected by me personally, hoping to bring some cultural atmosphere to customers."
Lin Yuan followed the boss' words and turned his eyes to the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
Each of them reveals a simple and elegant atmosphere, as if it can make people travel through time and space and immerse themselves in the ancient cultural hall.
He walked closer to take a closer look, and saw that the brushstrokes were smooth, the ink color was appropriate, and every detail revealed the author's ingenuity.
He couldn't help but admire that the owner of this store was indeed a person with taste.
Dining in such an environment, not only can you taste delicious food, but also feel the strong cultural atmosphere, which is indeed a rare enjoyment.
Lin Yuan looked at these calligraphy and paintings, and an impulse to create surged in his heart.
At this moment, seeing that the boss was so dedicated to running this store, he couldn't help but want to leave something for this store.
"Boss, I also like calligraphy and painting. I wonder if I can borrow your treasure land so that I can also paint and splash ink?"
Lin Yuan asked with a smile.
When the boss heard it, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
"Really? Boss Lin, you are also going to pick up the pen yourself? That's great! I'll go get you the pen, ink, paper and inkstone right now!"
After saying that, the boss turned around and trotted into a room.
After a while, he came out with a set of exquisite four treasures of the study and carefully placed them in front of Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan looked at the four treasures of the study in front of him, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes.
He gently stroked the pen, feeling the familiar texture, as if he had returned to the days of his own brushstrokes, after all, the last time he had written was for calligraphy activities.
He turned his head and looked at the boss, smiling.
"It seems that you, the boss, are also a person who likes calligraphy!"
The boss heard this and immediately showed a happy smile on his face. He nodded and said excitedly.
"Boss Lin is really a soulmate! I do have a special liking for calligraphy, but my level is limited. I can only appreciate it but not create it."
As he said that, he stepped back a few steps, stood aside, and stared at Lin Yuan's hand.
I saw Lin Yuan dipped the ink, gently waved the pen, and a piece of calligraphy appeared on the paper.
The strokes flow with a lively beauty, as if they have vitality.
The boss was stunned and secretly admired it.
"I didn't expect that Boss Lin's calligraphy attainments are so high! He is simply a role model for us."
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, put down the pen in his hand, and said modestly.
"Boss, you are too kind. I only know the basics."
He looked up at the boss, and saw that the other party looked at him with admiration, and his eyes were shining with excitement.
Lin Yuan couldn't help feeling a little proud, but he quickly suppressed this emotion, after all, he knew what his level was.
"Boss, what do you think of this calligraphy?"
He pointed to the work on the table and asked.
The boss came forward and carefully admired the calligraphy, with an intoxicated expression on his face.
"Great! It's just a wonderful pen! Boss Lin, your calligraphy is simply a height that mortals like us can't reach! Can I hang it in the store?"
Lin Yuan nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed to the boss's request.
The boss was overjoyed and quickly told Li Lingwei to hang up Lin Yuan's work.
Under the boss's urging, Li Lingwei quickly walked to the table and carefully picked up the calligraphy.
Her fingers gently touched the paper, as if she could feel the breath of Lin Yuan when he was writing.
However, at this moment, Lin Yuan suddenly spoke.
"Wait."
His voice was calm and firm, which made Li Lingwei's movements stiff instantly.
She raised her head and looked at Lin Yuan in confusion.
Lin Yuan walked to her side, his eyes fell on the calligraphy and painting in her hand, and said lightly.
"I'll hang this calligraphy and painting. I don't want my work to be dirty by your hands."
The boss realized that something was wrong when he heard this. He turned his head to look at Lin Yuan, and saw that Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with cold light, like a sharp blade.
The joy in his heart disappeared instantly, replaced by an inexplicable fear.
Li Lingwei also felt the sudden change in the atmosphere. She looked at Lin Yuan nervously, at a loss.
"Boss Lin, did my employee offend you?"
"Ah~ I guess so."
After getting Lin Yuan's affirmative answer, the boss's face suddenly became gloomy.
He glared at Li Lingwei and said in a stern tone.
"Li Lingwei, do you know your mistake?"
Li Lingwei was frightened by the sudden change of her boss. She tightly grasped the calligraphy and painting in her hand, not knowing how to answer.
The boss stopped looking at her and turned to Lin Yuan, smiling.
"Boss Lin, don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
After saying that, he turned around suddenly and said loudly to Li Lingwei.
"From today on, you don't have to come to work anymore!"
Li Lingwei was struck by lightning when she heard this. She looked at the boss in disbelief, her eyes filled with tears.
