"But friends are friends, and I still have to pay for the massage."
Ye Lan paused for a moment, then her smile widened.
"Of course I will. Mr. Xia seems to enjoy tea. I happen to own a teahouse in Chihuyan. Next time I come, I will bring Mr. Xia some good tea."
Chapter 263 You two are truly on the same wavelength
Miss Yelan went to the bathroom to take a shower with a pleasant smile on her face.
Xia Zhi glanced at the silver treasure chest that had appeared in his inventory.
This is what he just took from Miss Yelan.
Like those black iron treasure chests, keep them for now.
At the end of the year, it will be given as a year-end bonus to the best employee in the store.
However, Miss Yelan is indeed an intelligence officer; her observation skills are truly sharp. She discovered his love for tea just by drinking a cup of tea, and that the shop's tea leaves were almost gone.
She's an interesting woman.
Xia Zhi walked to the door and called Bai Shi in.
The secretary looked a little embarrassed, even though it wasn't the first time.
Then came another round of soft, low singing.
After finishing her massage business, Xia Zhi washed her hands and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Ningguang stayed behind with her personal secretary and special intelligence officer, and ended up having dinner there as well.
There's no way around it, his mouth has now taken on Mr. Xia's shape.
After dinner, they agreed to meet at Qunyu Pavilion the next day, and Ningguang and the others took their leave.
Ye Lan returned to the teahouse on the rock.
She sat in her chair and pondered for a while before summoning her subordinates.
"Lord Yelan."
"You don't need to keep an eye on the summer shops anymore."
"But, that Ms. Shen He..."
"Don't worry, I'll personally oversee it every day."
"Yes."
"Go to the warehouse and pick out the best tea for me, the new tea produced by Qiaoying Manor."
"Yes... Lord Yelan, would you like the tea to be carefully packaged?"
"No need for that, just use the jars in our tea room."
"Yes."
After her subordinates left, Ye Lan twisted her wrists, feeling an unprecedented sense of ease in her body, and suddenly chuckled softly.
"With Mr. Xia here, I can be less hesitant to take action in the future."

Xia Zhi returned to the kitchen, took out some [Paradise Rice], and poured it into the [Dragon Turning Pot] along with [Eternal Wine Starter], then covered it and let it ferment.
A moment later, the Blissful Rice Wine in the Dragon-Turning Pot was ready to ferment.
Xia Zhi opened the lid, and a familiar, faint aroma of wine wafted out, attracting Diona, who was washing dishes with Shen He.
"Boss, is this the same kind of rice wine as last time?"
"Yes."
"Are we having rice wine with egg again tomorrow morning?"
"That's not it."
"no?"
Diona looked a little disappointed.
Although she was extremely resistant to rice wine last time, she found it delicious after taking a sip.
"Then why does the boss make rice wine?"
"It's not just for you."
"Hey?"
"Aren't you going to mix drinks for Miss Ningguang tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"Think about it, the Jade Pavilion is the most upscale place in Liyue. Being able to mix drinks for dignitaries, wealthy merchants and tycoons there is a great honor for any bartender."
"It seems...so it is."
“You’re so young and from out of town, yet Miss Ningguang has chosen this important job for you. There will inevitably be people who are jealous and try to cause you trouble.”
"No way?"
"You don't understand. That's how it's written in novels. If you don't believe me, go ask Zhu Zi."
"I believe in the boss!"
"Well, that's why I was thinking of preparing a trump card for you."
"Is this the rice wine?"
"Yes, do you think this rice wine tastes good?"
"It's delicious! I love it! And it won't make you drunk!"
"I remember you have a shaker, right? Clean it and bring it to me tomorrow. I'll fill a bottle with rice wine for you to take with you. If anyone causes you trouble, just make them a cup of rainbow juice-flavored rice wine and shut them up."
"Okay! Thank you, boss!"
"You're welcome."
"Boss, what if no one jumps out to cause trouble?"
"If not, you can decide for yourself. If you find someone you like, treat her to a drink and make friends."
"Oh!"
"Go get a cup, I want to taste how well the rice wine is fermenting."
"Ok!"
Diona ran to get a clean little wine glass.
Xia Zhi scooped up a little, drank it from the cup, and smacked his lips: "It tastes good, but the alcohol flavor is a bit weak."
Diona looked at him expectantly: "Really?"
"Would you like to try some?"
"it is good!"
"Is the flavor of the wine weak?"
“I think it’s just right!”
"You don't understand wine."
"!"
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to make the wine taste stronger."
After Xia Zhi finished speaking, he took the [Dragon-Turning Pot] and went upstairs.
Diona looked down at the small wine glass in her hand before she suddenly realized what was happening.
I think I just shared a drink with the boss. He didn't wash it after drinking from it, and I just drank from it...
This...this...isn't this just like indirectly kissing my boss?
Diona's face flushed bright red at the thought, like a ripe apple.
Feeling a little dizzy, she went back to continue washing the dishes.
Shen He raised his head and glanced at Diona, whose face was flushed.
"what happened to you?"
"Nothing!"
"Your face is so red."
"Yes, because I just drank alcohol!"
"Oh."
Shen He lowered his head calmly and began washing the dishes unhurriedly.
On the second floor, Xia Zhi carried the [Dragon-Turning Pot] back to his room.
