Chapter 97: 080 A Light Celebration (2 more updates)_2

As a result, she ate too hastily and choked.

Lu Han helped her to slowly adjust her breathing, then gently sipped some soup, coaxing her to swallow it down gradually.

Once Tang Su felt better, Lu Han leaned in close, whispering in her ear, "Relax and eat, I promise, once you’re full, your boyfriend will still be here, he won’t disappear."

Tang Su blushed: "..."

She knew she was too anxious about losing him, but she didn’t expect Lu Han to tease her like that.

Tang Su bowed her head, collected her emotions, and ate her meal seriously.

Meanwhile, Old Tan had been sneakily watching the two of them, noticing Lu Han shamelessly nibble the young lady’s ear in broad daylight, and making Tang Su so red-faced, Old Tan cursed under his breath, "This old Lu is just too awful, a real beast."

Everyone: "..."

Even if Doctor Lu is a beast, can he compare to their boss?

Lin Jiaojiao rolled her eyes. Under the table, her shoe tip kicked Old Tan in the calf, "Mind your own business?"

With teeth clenched and face grimacing, Old Tan: "..."

After Lu Han and Tang Su finished their meal, Lu Han transferred the payment to Lin Jiaojiao.

The bill came to ten thousand yuan. Lin Jiaojiao, upon seeing the transaction record, was dumbfounded; she dared not accept it. This wasn’t just ten times today’s lunch price—it was many times over.

If she accepted it, and someone complained to consumer protection, their little tavern would probably have to close down. Whose drinking would her daily brewed wine be for then?

To get Old Tan drunk?

She wasn’t ready to part with him yet.

"Doctor Lu, what’s this about?" Lin Jiaojiao called out, holding up her mobile phone.

"Tonight I’m booking the whole place, prepare something sumptuous. When Bai Dingxian gets off work, and Tang Su’s best friend too, let’s have a small internal celebration. You two take a break. I see Old Tan’s eyes are turning blue; if certain things are beyond his reach, his sense of crisis might explode, leading to irritability."

"Pfft—"

Lu Han’s words were excessively subtle, so subtle that everyone present understood.

Whether eating or sipping soup, they all sprayed it out; fortunately, there wasn’t much in their mouths, otherwise it would have been a major disaster scene.

Tang Su understood too, and she wanted to laugh, but she dared not.

After all, in front of everyone, she was still seen as an innocent young girl. If she, like everyone else, instantly turned into an old driver, how would they view her?

She didn’t care what they thought, but what would Lu Han think?

Would he think that she had done everything with Ye Sichen?

She didn’t want Lu Han to have such a misunderstanding; she and Ye Sichen were pure.

"Lu Han, you young rascal, stop talking nonsense." Old Tan banged the table, infuriated by the young man’s self-sabotaging remarks. Where had he shown any lack of ability?

He didn’t know his own skill and ease.

If he could, let this brat reach his age and still be as untiring in battle, then mock his supposed incompetence.

"Wife, how much money did he transfer to you? Let me tell you, Lu Han, you may be a director at the hospital, but you can only act tough on your turf. Over here, you wouldn’t be able to afford this place for even a month with your measly director’s salary."

"Old friend, a 20% discount out of friendship," Lu Han shamelessly continued.

"...I’m going to be frugal till death," Old Tan sulked, nearly spitting blood in frustration.

"Don’t listen to him, it’s enough, it’s enough. I’ll go arrange the menu in a bit, and as for inviting people over, the two of you can make those calls yourselves," Lin Jiaojiao quickly interjected to save Old Tan from further embarrassment.

But Old Tan was relentless, "For a little internal celebration, should we beat drums and gongs, and also notify your family in Beijing?"

"It’s not the right time yet, I’ll wait until Tang Su is ready and follow her arrangements," Lu Han said, showing immense respect for Tang Su.

Old Tan: "..."

Heh, he was just trying to put Lu Han in a tough spot on purpose, since Lu Han didn’t give him any face just now.

In the end, the argument he had thought would corner Lu Han was easily dismissed by him.

You have to understand, proposing a meeting with the parents is a big deal. Answer well, and you score big, but a wrong answer could easily lead to trouble between the two.

Old Tan knew his actions were harsh, but he had no choice.

You couldn’t let Lu Han have an easy time. Was only he allowed to bully others?

Lin Jiaojiao didn’t want to fail to back up her man. But this wretched man, even when teamed up with Bai Dingxian, wasn’t a match for Lu Han. He was looking for punishment and no pulling back would help; what could she do?

Sin brought about by heaven can be forgiven, but sin brought about by oneself is inexorable.

Lu Han, holding Tang Su’s hand, strolled leisurely along the Panxi River promenade.

The pace of city life is fast, and they had both been busy with work for a long time without enjoying such a leisurely afternoon walk.

Lu Han sent a message to Bai Dingxian, and Tang Su sent one to Sun Qing.

When they found out Lu Han was together with Tang Su, they were both happy for them. Sun Qing was originally supposed to work overtime that evening at the behest of the "old hag," but given that it was Tang Su’s big day, she decided no matter what, she was not going to work late.

Let the "old hag" make things difficult or go crazy, that’s her problem; she wasn’t afraid of her anyway.

Previously, she was so obedient only because she didn’t want to make a big fuss about it.

Besides, as someone like the "old hag" who arbitrarily demands employees work overtime, that’s just not right. She’s seen company leaders who really do receive last-minute tasks from higher-ups just before closing time and then, apologetically, request their staff to stay for overtime.

Not only is overtime pay guaranteed, but humane leaders will also pay out of their own pocket for some late-night snacks to compensate everyone.

As for their company’s "old hag," as soon as they clocked in early in the morning, she’d announce in the group chat that all units would be working overtime.

It’s like a disguised way of ruining employees’ entire days.

Damn it, if there really was something urgent, they have eight hours during the day. What kind of huge issue can’t be resolved during work hours and has to be dealt with by working late?

To say that the "old hag" wasn’t deliberately making things difficult, she wouldn’t believe it.

Anyway, Sun Qing had made up her mind she wouldn’t work overtime tonight. She had to witness the happiest day of the life of her only best friend, little Su Su.

Of course, the most important thing was not to miss out on the fine wine from Sister Jiaojiao.

Hahaha...
