Chapter 159: Chapter 159: The Little Drawing Expert

This nickname was like timely rain!

"Okay, got it."

Leng Lingxiao smiled with his eyes as he set down the foreign liquor and, with a wave of his right hand, a middle-aged man in a neat suit immediately stepped into the booth.

The freshly squeezed watermelon juice was quickly delivered, along with some dried fruits and spiced meats.

Wang Jinghui shook his head with a smile, "Not drinking anymore?"

"Not drinking, not drinking, let’s do it another day. I still have to take Tangtang back to Mei Garden later, and it’s late... It’s also not safe for a girl to walk on mountain roads."

As Leng Lingxiao replied, he poured a drink, and as he finished speaking, he handed the square glass to Wang Jinghui.

The respectful gesture served as an apology!

After all, Wang Jinghui was the one invited, and it indeed seemed somewhat inappropriate not to drink at a bar.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaowan quickly pushed the newly served spiced meats closer to Wang Jinghui, though they weren’t far apart to begin with, making them now even closer.

Soon after, the three of them raised their glasses and drank together, all smiling.

"Big brother, I have a rough sketch here. Can you see if it’s possible to make it like this? If there’s anything unsuitable, I can modify it. It’s just that I drew it in a rush. Please take a look."

Before she even finished speaking, Tang Xiaowan had already pulled out a very small folded piece of paper from her pocket.

Leng Lingxiao: "?"

Wang Jinghui tightened his chin and nodded, "Sure, no problem."

The blueprint was unfolded amidst their curious looks.

Cleverly structured and finely lined.

Wang Jinghui examined it over and over again with great astonishment, finally leaning back against the sofa.

It was hard for him to believe that it came from the hands of a young girl; not only the scale, but even the thickness of the detailed parts was clearly marked, although the handwriting was a bit ugly.

"Did you draw this yourself?"

Tang Xiaowan nodded, "Can you make it?"

"Yes, but it will take some time, about... seven days or so."

"Can it be done a bit faster?"

Knowing that such a request was a bit much, Tang Xiaowan still boldly asked.

After another look at the blueprint and a moment of thought, Wang Jinghui slowly replied, "Five days, any quicker and... I can’t guarantee the tensile strength."

"Okay, that will do. How much money will you need, big brother?"

Observing Tang Xiaowan’s earnest demeanor, Wang Jinghui chuckled.

He was, after all, a man often referred to as the wealthiest!

"No need, Brother Leng and I are good friends. Consider this a gift for our first meeting, I’ll give it to you."

"This... okay, thank you so much, big brother!"

"Don’t mention it, it’s a minor thing!"

With that, the elder and the younger one entered into a mode of discussion, foregoing the drinks and even setting aside the watermelon juice.

With their level of engagement, an unknowing observer would have thought they were plotting something big.

In reality, the so-called blueprint was just a shopping receipt. As for when Tang Xiaowan drew on it, Leng Lingxiao was completely baffled.

From the moment they left Mei Garden, they were inseparable except for trips to the restroom.

The restroom? Yes, that was it!

Leng Lingxiao suddenly remembered that right after entering the bar, Tang Xiaowan had gone to the restroom once, and it was he who had personally accompanied her to the door.

But the time wasn’t long, just five minutes.

Little rascal, she was prepared all along!

Managing to find a pen and receipt, she really did make do with what was available.

Sneaking around, she could have just told me; as if I would have stopped her from drawing – what a joke, we were already there.

Oh you, such a surprise attack!

In truth, Tang Xiaowan’s rapid drafting skills did not surprise Leng Lingxiao; after all, they had collaborated many times before.

One would draw, the other would fill in the colors.

He simply didn’t understand what her ultimate goal was in going to such lengths.

Was she spurred by something Grandma Tang had said?

Could she possibly know...

No way, absolutely impossible, it couldn’t be!

"Brother Leng, what’s wrong? Why are you so quiet? Come and take a look at the sketch, give some advice!"

"It’s nothing, you folks go ahead."

"Oh, okay then."

Tang Xiaowan nodded, took a big sip of watermelon juice, and continued her discussion with Wang Jinghui, all the while beaming with smiles.

Seeing them engrossed in conversation, Leng Lingxiao quietly got up and headed to the bar.

There, he spoke with the bartender about something, and the bartender promptly set down the glass in hand and quickly left.
