"Abao, where have you been all this time? Why haven't you come to see me? I'm almost driven crazy by that woman, Afang."

The only person who can call Liu Xiaobao "Abao" is Tao Tao, his childhood friend who grew up with him.

Liu Xiaobao smiled and nodded to the three of them.

"I've been busy with business lately, so I haven't been here." Liu Xiaobao answered Teacher Ge first, then said to Tao Tao, "Tao Tao, you should put away those messy thoughts and just live a good life with Afang, right?"

Tao Tao said with a wronged look, "I do want to live a good life, but Afang is mentally ill. She always tries to make things difficult for me. I can hardly stand staying in that house anymore."

"I can't save you!" Liu Xiaobao rolled his eyes at Tao Tao and ignored him, then turned to ask Ling Hong a question.

"Linghong, didn't Lingzi say that you were reopening today? Why are there only the three of you here? Where are Lingzi, Xiaowen, and Xiaoqin?"

Ling Hong pointed to the kitchen and replied, "They're all busy in the kitchen. Mr. Bao, please have a seat. Lingzi should be out in less than three seconds."

As soon as Linghong finished speaking, Lingzi, dressed in a white chef's uniform, walked over from the direction of the kitchen.

Seeing this, Ling Hong laughed and said, "I knew it. As long as you come, Mr. Bao, Lingzi will definitely not be late in more than thirty seconds."

Lingzi glared at Linghong before speaking to Boss Bao.

"So, how's the new style of Tokyo Nights?"

Liu Xiaobao sincerely praised, "Very good, quite tasteful, I just wonder how the dishes are!"

Lingzi was clearly delighted to receive Liu Xiaobao's praise.

"Wait, I'll make sure you're the first to try our new restaurant's food!" she said to Liu Xiaobao with a smile, before rushing back into the kitchen.

Liu Xiaobao then walked towards his private room.

Soon, Liu Xiaobao discovered that almost everything at 'Night Tokyo' had been changed, except for his private room.

Clearly, this was something Lingzi did intentionally, deliberately reserving it for Liu Xiaobao.

Tao Tao and the other two followed in, and Ling Hong even clicked her tongue in disbelief.

"Tsk tsk... Mr. Bao, you can see it with your eyes, right? Anyway, we outsiders can all see Lingzi's feelings for you. Don't tell me you can't see it, Mr. Bao!"

Liu Xiaobao didn't respond to Ling Hong's words. He simply brewed a pot of hot tea and poured a cup for each of them.

Seeing this, Linghong felt indignant on Lingzi's behalf and then spoke up.

"I really can't stand it anymore, Mr. Bao. If you don't like Lingzi, then stop dragging her along, okay? If this goes on, you can afford to wait, but she can't."

Liu Xiaobao took a sip of tea and replied with a smile, "Okay, Linghong, I understand."

Ling Hong was even more furious after hearing Liu Xiaobao's words.

"What do you mean 'I understand'? Mr. Bao, give me a straight answer! Do you want to get together with Lingzi or not?"

Liu Xiaobao put away his smile, looked at Ling Hong, and said seriously.

"Linghong, I know you and Lingzi are good friends, but this is between Lingzi and me, and you shouldn't interfere!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Hong sighed softly, "Sigh! Fine, I don't care anymore. You two can do whatever you want!"

A moment later, Lingzi brought in a dish and placed it directly on the table in front of Liu Xiaobao.

"Come on, Mr. Bao, have a taste, and then give your feedback!"

When Liu Xiaobao saw Lingzi bring out the dish, his eyes lit up.

He first carefully examined the dish before picking up his chopsticks and tasting it.

Tao Tao, Teacher Ge, and Ling Hong also wanted to try it, but as soon as they reached out, Lingzi slapped their hands away, and the three of them could only watch enviously as Liu Xiaobao ate it.

Just as Tao Tao and the other two couldn't help but swallow, Liu Xiaobao spoke up.

"Lingzi, your dish is quite interesting. The middle part is sashimi from Japanese cuisine, while the outer layer of decoration is crystal shrimp from Shanghainese cuisine. The garnish is also a dish of pickled bamboo shoots and pork belly from Shanghainese cuisine. It tastes good and the combination is excellent. How did you come up with this idea?"

Hearing Liu Xiaobao's comments, Lingzi smiled smugly.

"Boss Bao is amazing! You figured it all out. Over the past two months, I've eaten at every restaurant on Huanghe Road. I figured if we at Night Tokyo just followed their cuisine, we definitely wouldn't be able to compete. So Night Tokyo had to innovate and do things that other restaurants didn't have. After thinking and thinking, I came up with the idea of ​​combining Japanese and Shanghainese cuisine to create unique dishes that Night Tokyo has to offer!"

Liu Xiaobao agreed, saying, "Your concept is good; it's definitely feasible. Who knows, it might even make 'Night Tokyo' more popular than the restaurants on Huanghe Road."

Lingzi straightened her face and said very seriously, "Of course, otherwise all my brainpower over this long period of time would have been wasted."

Liu Xiaobao nodded approvingly: "I'm so happy to see you like this!"

Lingzi's efforts to change were all for Liu Xiaobao's sake.

Now that she had gained Liu Xiaobao's approval, Lingzi felt that all her hard work had paid off. She turned to Tao Tao and the other two and said...

"Alright, Mr. Bao has already been the first to try my new dish. Now that 'Night Tokyo' can officially reopen, would you three like to be our first customers?"

Tao Tao and the other two exchanged glances, then replied to Lingzi in unison, "Hurry up and serve the food!"

Lingzi glanced at the three of them with amusement, then turned and went back to the kitchen.

However, since they planned to officially open for business, the store couldn't be left unattended. After Lingzi went in, Xiaowen and Xiaoqin came out from the kitchen and went to look after the store.

Liu Xiaobao originally wanted to chat with Lingzi a little longer, but while Tao Tao and the other two were enjoying the new dishes with great enthusiasm, two more tables of customers arrived at the restaurant.

Moreover, the number of guests continued to increase, and Lingzi, who was personally in charge of cooking, was too busy to talk to Liu Xiaobao, so Liu Xiaobao had no choice but to give up.

After saying goodbye to Lingzi and Tao Tao, Liu Xiaobao left.

After leaving 'Night Tokyo', Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but look back at the 'Night Tokyo' sign one last time, and muttered to himself with a smile.

"As expected, what I said last time was not in vain. Now that Lingzi has woken up, she can actually come up with a new dish that combines Japanese and Shanghainese cuisine. Who knows, she might be able to turn 'Night Tokyo' into a nationwide chain!"

After saying this, Liu Xiaobao turned around and drove away.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiaobao did not return to the Peace Hotel, but went to the Foreign Trade Bureau at No. 27 Bund.

The second piece of good news for Liu Xiaobao today is that Wang Mingzhu has been officially promoted to the position of section chief.

This wasn't something Wang Mingzhu told Liu Xiaobao herself; it was something his uncle told him early this morning.

Because of the great sales of the 'Dongmei' brand and the large export volume, Wang Mingzhu, who handled this order, had an even better performance record. After her mentor, Section Chief Jin, received his transfer order yesterday, Wang Mingzhu's appointment letter as section chief came down today.

When Wang Mingzhu was promoted to section chief, Liu Xiaobao naturally went to congratulate her.

However, congratulating Wang Mingzhu was a troublesome matter for Liu Xiaobao.

For a moment, Liu Xiaobao didn't know what to give Wang Mingzhu.

If Liu Xiaobao gives Wang Mingzhu, a civil servant in a government agency, expensive gifts, it would be seen as an attempt to harm her and give others ammunition against her.

But if the gift is too cheap, it will not only embarrass Liu Xiaobao, but also make Wang Mingzhu a laughing stock among her colleagues.

So before going to No. 27 on the Bund, Liu Xiaobao really racked his brains over the issue of delivering the congratulatory gift.

However, Liu Xiaobao eventually solved the problem.

When Liu Xiaobao arrived at the foreign trade building, Wang Mingzhu and her colleagues were discussing export quotas in the office area.

Although Liu Xiaobao didn't understand the specifics, he knew that Wang Mingzhu, who had just been promoted to section chief, was assigning tasks to her subordinates!

Upon seeing Liu Xiaobao arrive, Wang Mingzhu immediately stopped what she was doing and looked at him with great surprise: "President Bao? What brings you here?"

Liu Xiaobao didn't shy away from the other people in the Foreign Trade Bureau and spoke frankly to Wang Mingzhu.

"I heard that Miss Wang was promoted to section chief today, so I naturally came to congratulate you. This is my gift to you for your promotion."

As he spoke, Liu Xiaobao handed Wang Mingzhu a very ordinary-looking pen, which didn't even come in a box.

Wang Mingzhu paused for a moment, then turned to look at her other colleagues, somewhat hesitant about whether to accept Liu Xiaobao's gift.

Liu Xiaobao understood Wang Mingzhu's concerns and immediately added another sentence.

"Ms. Wang, please rest assured, this is just an ordinary fountain pen that I bought for ten yuan, but it represents my goodwill. I hope that Ms. Wang can use this pen to sign more big deals."

Hearing Liu Xiaobao say this in public, Wang Mingzhu no longer had any reservations and took the pen from Liu Xiaobao's hand.

Soon, Wang Mingzhu discovered that five characters were engraved on the body of the pen.

The right side is inscribed with the four characters '青云直上' (soaring to great heights), while the left side has only the character '宝' (treasure) as a signature.

Although Liu Xiaobao's gift was inexpensive, it wasn't about its value, but about its meaning!

Wang Mingzhu really liked the pen. She smiled at Liu Xiaobao and said, "Thank you, Mr. Bao, for coming to congratulate me in person. I will work even harder to make sure I live up to this pen you gave me!"

Since Wang Mingzhu was still at work and there were a group of colleagues watching, Liu Xiaobao couldn't say anything more.

"Alright, Ms. Wang, you can continue with your work. I won't disturb you any longer!"

Having delivered his gift and offered his congratulations, Liu Xiaobao said goodbye to Wang Mingzhu and then turned to leave.

"Mr. Bao, I'm your bodyguard. Can't you find someone else to go to the stock exchange for you?"

Su Jie protested to Liu Xiaobao, clearly dissatisfied.

Liu Xiaobao didn't respond to Su Jie's words, but just smiled at him.

Seeing this, Su Jie knew his protest was ineffective, so he could only turn around and walk out of room '72' with a wronged look on his face.

After attending the reopening of 'Night Tokyo' yesterday and congratulating Wang Mingzhu on her recent promotion to section chief, Liu Xiaobao has now thrown himself into the business of making money in the stock market.
