With a sizzle, the slices of meat came into contact with the hot grill pan, instantly releasing an enticing aroma.

The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually warmed up with the aroma of cooking.

Yu Xinxin is clearly a qualified atmosphere-maker.

While clumsily imitating Wang Hao as she flipped the grilled meat, she chattered on and on about the funny things that happened at the company.

"Brother Hao, let me tell you, don't let Lei Zhen's quiet demeanor fool you, his videos are amazing! The promotional video we shot for that parent-child event last time was raved about by the client!"

"And then there's Zhang Wei. He's incredibly eloquent. Last time, he had dinner with a particularly difficult client and managed to persuade him to sign the contract on the spot."

Once she started talking, she couldn't stop, praising everyone in the company.

With a smile, Wang Hao listened attentively while methodically grilling the meat, placing the cooked pieces onto the two girls' plates.

He has now discovered that although Yu Xinxin is very introverted, she becomes very talkative when it comes to people and things in the company.

But when she encounters strangers, like in the situation just now, she feels a little embarrassed to even offer them food.

Lin Wei still spoke very little.

She just sat quietly, eating her meat in small bites, listening to Yu Xinxin talk.

But Wang Hao noticed that although she didn't speak, she listened very attentively. When Yu Xinxin mentioned something interesting, a very faint smile would unconsciously appear on her cool lips.

She ate very elegantly, chewing each bite slowly and carefully, as if savoring a work of art.

"Sister Lin Wei, you should eat more too." Yu Xinxin put a piece of roasted shiitake mushroom into Lin Wei's bowl.

Lin Wei nodded, picked up a shiitake mushroom, and took a small bite.

"By the way, Brother Hao, where are you from?"

Yu Xinxin ate a piece of grilled meat and asked indistinctly, "Judging from your accent, you don't sound like someone from our area."

"My hometown is a prefecture-level city," Wang Hao said casually.

"So what did you do before? Was it also in administration?"

This question made Wang Hao pause for a moment.

"Well... sort of. I worked at a small company, doing all sorts of odd jobs." He gave a vague answer.

Just then, Lin Wei, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised her head and looked at him with a cold gaze.

What collaborative software did your previous company use for project management?

The question was sudden and very specific.

Yu Xinxin was stunned for a moment, wondering why Sister Lin Wei would suddenly ask this.

Wang Hao's heart skipped a beat.

Here it comes, this is the pressure from professionals.

His mind raced as he recalled the various business information he had previously read.

"We're using a combination of DingTalk and Lark," he said calmly.

"I mainly use DingTalk for attendance and approvals, and Lark for documents and project dashboards to track progress."

"But small companies are often poorly managed, and they often have to resort to yelling."

His answer was both professional and down-to-earth, perfectly capturing the image of a "corporate slave" who had worked odd jobs in a small company.

Lin Wei looked at him, the scrutiny in her eyes lessening. She nodded gently and didn't press him further.

She just felt that this man named Wang Hao was quick-witted and had clear logic, unlike what he himself said about him being so simple.

After eating for a while, Yu Xinxin remembered something and said, "I'll go get some drinks and desserts."

She stood up, but seeing the self-service area crowded with people, she hesitated and sat back down, muttering to herself, "So many people..."

Wang Hao, seeing this, smiled and said, "I'll go. What would you like to drink?"

"I want orange juice!" Yu Xinxin said immediately.

"Lin Wei, what about you?"

"Lemon juice, thank you," Lin Wei replied.

"Okay." Wang Hao got up and easily squeezed into the crowd, quickly returning with three drinks and a plate of small cakes.

During the meal, Yu Xinxin did most of the talking, Wang Hao listened, and Lin Wei ate.

But the atmosphere was unusually harmonious.

Wang Hao discovered that although Yu Xinxin was somewhat introverted in front of strangers, she was like a perpetually energetic little sun in familiar surroundings and with close friends.

Lin Wei, like an iceberg, mostly lies submerged, only revealing a cool, clear corner. But under the sunshine of Yu Xinxin, that iceberg seems to show signs of melting.

After Wang Hao paid, the three of them walked out of the barbecue restaurant.

The evening breeze was a bit cool, and it felt very comfortable on my skin.

"Sister Lin Wei, is your place far away?" Yu Xinxin asked.

"It's not far, I can just take a taxi," Lin Wei replied.

"It's so late..." Wang Hao said naturally, "How about I take you home?"

"I'll drive back to my apartment; it'll be quick."

Yu Xinxin immediately chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, Sister Lin Wei, let Brother Hao take you, it'll be safer."

"Hao-ge and I will take you there together, and then we'll come back together."

Lin Wei glanced at them, instinctively wanting to refuse.

"No need, it's too much trouble for you. I can just take a taxi, it'll be quick."

"What's the trouble?" Wang Hao insisted. "We just finished eating and are just walking back to the apartment to digest. We don't have anything else to do, so giving you a ride is just on our way."

Seeing that Wang Hao and Yu Xinxin were so insistent, Lin Wei hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded gently.

The three of them walked side by side on their way back to the apartment.

Along the way, Lin Wei attracted an astonishing number of people turning their heads to look at her.

Almost every boy who passes by will subconsciously glance at her a few more times, and some will even stop and follow her back with their eyes.

Wang Hao even saw a young man on a skateboard who kept looking back at Lin Wei and didn't pay attention to the road ahead. His wheels hit a small stone, and he cried out "Ouch!" and almost fell. His flustered appearance made Yu Xinxin cover her mouth and laugh.

Even Lin Wei herself noticed the young man's embarrassment, and a fleeting smile appeared on her lips.

As Wang Hao walked beside Lin Wei, he could clearly feel the gazes that were focused on him.

He secretly marveled, "Is this the allure of a top-tier beauty?"

She's practically a walking focal point.

Soon, the three of them returned to the apartment's underground parking lot.

Wang Hao walked to a black BMW 330i and pressed the unlock button.

Two beeping sounds followed by the flashing of the car lights.

"Wow!"

When Yu Xinxin saw the blue and white car logo, she couldn't help but let out a small gasp, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Brother Hao, you...you drive a BMW?"

"You're so amazing!"

Her tone was filled with pure surprise and admiration, like a child who had seen a new and exciting toy.

Lin Wei maintained her unchanging expression, but she also turned her gaze to Wang Hao.
