"Wow, such pretty flowers! President Liu, we won't disturb your romantic time with your boyfriend then."
"Hehe, President Liu, we're leaving now. See you tomorrow!"
Liu Shishi descended the stairs with two colleagues.
When they discovered Du Fei at the entrance, holding a bouquet of flowers, they all smiled at Liu Shishi and waved goodbye.
After the two colleagues left, Du Fei walked over to Liu Shishi and presented her with the large bouquet of roses he had just bought.
"Thank you."
Liu Shishi accepted the roses from Du Fei with a smile.
"What made you suddenly think of giving me flowers?"
As they spoke, they walked out side by side.
While walking, Du Fei told Liu Shishi about his phone call with Du Yunyun and how she had 'scolded' him.
Liu Shishi giggled as she listened.
Once they were in the car, Du Fei looked at Liu Shishi in the passenger seat and said with some guilt, "Shishi, since we've been dating, I don't think I've ever done anything particularly romantic. Do you feel like I'm not romantic or thoughtful enough?"
"How could you? In my eyes, you're absolutely a perfect boyfriend. Because whenever I encounter any difficulties, you're always the first to step forward."
Hearing Du Fei's words, Liu Shishi reached out and took his hand, her clear, bright eyes full of tenderness.
Half an hour later, Du Fei drove Liu Shishi to a trendy restaurant.
"Where did you find out about this restaurant? It looks quite nice."
Liu Shishi looked at the restaurant before them and was very pleased.
Du Fei smiled and said, "It was that girl Yunyun who picked it. She told me to bring you here to eat and that you'd definitely be satisfied. I'm just curious, where did she find it?"
"You wouldn't know, but the internet is very developed now. Young people like to post things online, so it's not strange for Yunyun to know about it," Liu Shishi said.
The two of them walked into the restaurant, which had a very distinctive decor.
In the center of the restaurant, there was a piano, and a beautiful long-haired woman was playing it.
The melodious music brought joy to everyone who entered the restaurant.
Led by a waiter, Du Fei and Liu Shishi were shown to their reserved table.
"Here is our menu. What would you like to order?"
The waiter handed each of them a menu that had been prepared in advance.
Since it was their first time there, they decided to look through it first.
Du Fei said something to the waiter, who nodded and left.
"I didn't expect that besides the good decoration and ambiance, the food here is also great. There are several dishes I really want to try, but there are only two of us, so we can't eat that much."
Liu Shishi flipped through the menu and wanted to try many of the dishes.
However, she had always disliked extravagance and waste, so she was a little conflicted.
Du Fei, sitting opposite her, smiled and said, "It's okay. Since my girlfriend wants to eat them, let's order them all. I know you don't like wasting food, so if you can't finish anything, I'll take care of it all, I promise not a single bit will go to waste."
After receiving Du Fei's assurance, Liu Shishi beckoned the waiter who had left earlier and ordered all the dishes she had her eye on.
"Right, how did your trip to Spring City go?"
After the waiter left with the menu, Liu Shishi initiated a new topic.
Although Du Fei had returned from Spring City over a week ago, they hadn't discussed it yet.
Since they were sitting and waiting for the food, it was a good time to chat.
"It went quite smoothly. When we went to Spring City..."
Du Fei then recounted how he and Gong Chengbin went to Spring City to find medicinal herb suppliers, only to discover that the owner of one of the companies was the elderly man they had previously saved.
Later, they discussed it with the old man's daughter, and a preliminary procurement plan had been formulated.
"Before, I never truly understood, but after these past ten-plus days, I've come to deeply realize how difficult it is to be a company's head. You have to consider every aspect."
Du Fei sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Even though Du Fei was now wealthy, it was during this procurement trip to Spring City for medicinal herbs that he realized money couldn't always solve everything.
For instance, if they hadn't met Jiang Shan, they wouldn't have been able to get the lowest prices for some of the herbs.
Even if Du Fei was willing to spend some money to get things done, the subsequent cost of medicinal herbs was a colossal sum, and even Du Fei was powerless to subsidize it.
Furthermore, in business, one must be wary of dishonesty. If the medicinal herb suppliers they chose were to substitute inferior quality herbs, it would cause immense trouble during actual production.
Therefore, Du Fei truly understood the saying that every profession has its own challenges.
For him, he would rather treat a hundred patients than be a company head.
"Heh heh, this just shows that everyone has their own strengths. Your abilities don't lie here, so there's no need to force yourself to do these things," Liu Shishi said comfortingly.
Du Fei nodded.
At this moment, the waiter pushed a cart over and began serving the dishes they had ordered.
Seeing the table full of delicious food, Liu Shishi couldn't help but feel her appetite whetted.
The two temporarily stopped talking and began to savor the delicacies on the table.
The pleasing dining environment, the melodious piano music, and the delicious food were the perfect combination.
Liu Shishi reluctantly put down her chopsticks.
"Oh my, I accidentally ate too much today. I'll have to eat less for the next few days, or I'll definitely gain weight."
After enjoying the meal, Liu Shishi first wore a satisfied smile, then patted her small belly and said with some unease.
Du Fei, sitting opposite Liu Shishi, couldn't help but shake his head.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Seeing Du Fei's action, Liu Shishi immediately asked.
Du Fei said, "Shishi, do you know that if other girls heard you say that, they might want to kill you?"
Although Liu Shishi didn't exercise every day, some people in this world were blessed by heaven. Liu Shishi was one of them. Her figure was curvaceous, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a figure of a goddess.
Combined with her stunning beauty, she was undoubtedly an object of envy for countless women.
Yet, she was saying she was afraid of gaining weight, which was why Du Fei made that remark.
Liu Shishi understood Du Fei's meaning immediately and smiled sweetly.
After they finished eating and rested for a bit, they got up and left the restaurant.
