Brush Up Your Proficiency

Wang Hao arrived at the third-floor office, checked the time, and realized there was still a long time before the restaurant officially opened.

So, as usual, he decided to spend an hour brushing up on his reading skill before going downstairs to check on the kitchen's preparations.

Sitting in the office chair by the window, he gently picked up the ancient 'Lao Zhuang, Volume One,' and as he slowly opened the pages, a familiar aura wafted over him.

A faint smile appeared on his face, as if he had instantly stepped into another world.

His mind gradually immersed itself, instinctively ignoring everything around him.

At this moment, the intermediate reading skill seemed to sense the special significance of the day and went all out to help Wang Hao better comprehend the artistic conception of the book.

Meanwhile, Cheng Yufei and Li Nan were standing by the office window, quietly watching Wang Hao.

When they saw the smile on Wang Hao's face, Cheng Yufei couldn't help but shiver and turned to Li Nan, saying:

"Nannan, look at Wang Hao, he's actually enjoying reading 'Lao Zhuang' instead of getting a headache. He's a ruthless person! It's so scary! I think he's even scarier than when you read!"

Her voice was full of surprise and confusion. How could anyone read that heavenly book with such relish? Although she knew Wang Hao liked to read, she still felt unbelievable at the scene before her!

Li Nan heard Cheng Yufei's surprise, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of a smile. She was the first to discover that Wang Hao liked to read. Facing this like-minded yet so amazing person, she couldn't help but feel a little smug.

She gently shook her head, indicating that she did not agree with Cheng Yufei's view. Just as she was about to express her own opinion, she suddenly heard the second half of Cheng Yufei's words and couldn't help but pout her little mouth and glared at Cheng Yufei fiercely: "What do you mean by scarier than me? Where am I scary?"

Cheng Yufei also immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized to Li Nan in a low voice: "I didn't mean that. How could our Nannan be scary? We're too busy finding her cute!"

As she spoke, she was about to reach out and touch Li Nan's face, but she dodged it in time.

"It seems I have to have a good chat with Uncle Cheng later. Your office is too empty; you need to put more books in it." Li Nan took a step back, suppressing a smile.

Hearing this, Cheng Yufei's face became a little stiff, thinking that if her dad knew about this suggestion, he would definitely agree. Since she was a child, they liked bookish children like Li Nan, so she quickly explained:

"Don't, Nannan. Look how busy we are with work now. Where do we have time to read? We just need to manage the restaurant well."

However, Cheng Yufei saw that Li Nan ignored her plea and continued to joke around:

"Books? You can't put those in the office. 'Book' sounds the same as 'lose,' which is unlucky. How can we who run a restaurant afford to lose? If you really think it's empty, just put a few money trees. You don't have to put books, my good Nannan."

Cheng Yufei grabbed Li Nan's arm and shook it hard.

Li Nan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. This reason was too bizarre.

However, seeing that Cheng Yufei had already realized her mistake, she didn't tease her anymore and gently nodded in agreement.

Seeing Li Nan nod, Cheng Yufei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't have to be accompanied by her lifelong enemy, "books," and her face was instantly filled with a smile.

Li Nan looked at Cheng Yufei's appearance and couldn't help but laugh. Of course, she wouldn't really tell Uncle Cheng these things; she just wanted to tease Cheng Yufei.

After playing around, the two looked at Wang Hao again.

Bright sunlight shone through another window, scattering on Wang Hao's profile like golden gauze, outlining a soft light.

This beam of light, like a spotlight, highlighted the restrained yet eye-catching scholarly aura on Wang Hao's body, making it even more intense.

Even someone like Cheng Yufei, who didn't read much, noticed this scholarly image of Wang Hao.

After this period of improvement in cooking skills, accompanied by the improvement of physical fitness, Wang Hao's originally strong physique did not continue to expand, but instead became restrained. He looked much thinner, and even his height seemed to have increased in the eyes of others.

The current physique combined with the temperament does give people a feeling of a weak scholar.

Standing outside the window, quietly observing this scene, the two were deeply attracted by the scene in front of them and were stunned for a moment.

Cheng Yufei couldn't help but sigh softly: "I suddenly feel that Wang Hao is really suitable for academic research! The temperament emanating from him is very similar to our professor's before." Her voice was filled with a hint of amazement and appreciation.

Li Nan on the side couldn't help but nod heavily, expressing her agreement.

At that moment just now, she also seemed to see the way her father focused on academics back then. That expression and attitude were so similar.

They quietly admired it for a long time until the sunlight gradually shifted its position, and the two gently left the window and returned to the office.

As soon as they entered the door, they couldn't wait to start chattering and discussing, and then compared Wang Hao with various men they had met.

After a heated discussion, the final conclusion was that although Wang Hao's family background might be slightly inferior, he showed absolute advantages in all other aspects.

Whether it is appearance, temperament, or talent, Wang Hao stands out in a steady manner.

"We still have to keep a close eye on him in the future and not let people like Su Mo Dan get close to him. A hero can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. What if he's dug away?" Cheng Yufei said solemnly.

Li Nan smiled and shook her head, without expressing her opinion.

Seeing that there was still some time before the start of business, Li Nan took out the erhu soundtrack and played it in the office.

The melodious sound of the erhu sounded, like a clear spring flowing in the air, making people feel a sense of tranquility and comfort.

With the playing of the erhu music, an immersive scene once again appeared in the minds of the two.

They seemed to see a beautiful woman, wearing a white dress, standing in a sea of flowers, dancing lightly.

Their mood gradually calmed down, enjoying this leisurely and comfortable time.
