351: Yan Xiaoli was stunned

“The Boss told me to come, didn’t he?” Seeing Yan Xiaoli’s expression, Ellie was also a bit confused. She looked at Pan Han and asked, “Didn’t you tell Sister Xiaoli?”

“I didn’t. She’s been busy on the phone. You should go take a shower. Look how cold you are.”

“Oh, it was the Boss.”

Pan Han came into the kitchen with his things. Yan Xiaoli raised an eyebrow and chuckled, “When did you become her Boss? You moved pretty fast.”

“A while ago, I guess.” Pan Han didn’t think too much about it, busy arranging the dishes.

“I wouldn’t have guessed. You’re usually so quiet, but you moved so quickly.” Yan Xiaoli also helped out.

“You saw us that time we had barbecue, didn’t you?”

“That time between you two was a one-night stand. This time, it feels like she’s your female subordinate. The dynamic is completely different.” Once Yan Xiaoli’s gossipy nature emerged, she wanted to get to the bottom of it.

“She’s just like you, one of my female employees.” Pan Han patted Yan Xiaoli’s backside.

“I’m telling you now, if you’re going to play, it’s one-on-one. I’m not serving you both!” Yan Xiaoli held up a cucumber and pointed it at Pan Han’s nose.

“Look at you. Your mind isn’t even as clean as what’s below. What are you thinking about all day? I asked her to come to discuss the National Restaurant. I plan to put her in charge of everything.” Pan Han bit off the cucumber and crunched on it loudly.

“Huh? You’re letting her manage the National Restaurant? But she’s an actress.” Hearing this, Yan Xiaoli felt Pan Han was talking nonsense.

“If I say it’s okay, it’s okay! Do you eat spicy food?” Pan Han was about to add spicy butter hotpot base.

“Yes!”

Ten minutes later, Ellie, having finished washing, came to the restaurant wearing a silk nightgown.

Pan Han looked and thought, ‘Good heavens, vacuum-sealed on top, thong on the bottom.’

Yan Xiaoli almost couldn’t help but laugh when she saw her.

“I’m staying far away from you two tonight.” After saying that, she sat on the opposite side of the dining table, making Pan Han and Ellie sit together.

“Boss, you urgently called me back, do you have any instructions?” Ellie’s first question after sitting down was about work.

“I want to open a restaurant. The location has been chosen. You are responsible for taking over the existing shop, design and renovation, menu arrangements, and staff recruitment. You’ll follow up on all of it.”

“Understood.”

“There’s a manager named Qin Hongbing. You two will partner up.”

“Got it.”

Yan Xiaoli watched the two of them, back and forth. Ellie accepted Pan Han’s instructions without any objection or opinion.

What the heck was going on?

Moreover, when Pan Han spoke to Ellie, his tone was clearly giving orders, very direct.

He rarely spoke to her like that.

“Ahem. Ellie, don’t agree so quickly. This Pan Han has big plans. He wants to open 100,000 chain restaurants. If you fall into this trap, you might end up working yourself to death.” Yan Xiaoli, thinking of Ellie, quickly interjected.

“Sister Xiaoli, thank you for your concern. But as for the Boss’s instructions, I just have to carry them out. Even if he wants to open the restaurant on the moon, I will follow him.” Ellie tucked her hair back, revealing her delicate and lovely face, and replied with a firm gaze… Exaggerated!

Shocking!

It was simply outrageous!

Ellie’s answer completely shattered Yan Xiaoli’s mind.

What kind of magic potion did Pan Han give her?

“Hurry up and put the meat in.” Pan Han saw Yan Xiaoli frozen in place, knowing she was dumbfounded.

“Yes, Boss.” Ellie immediately picked up a plate of meat and put it into the pot.

“Ellie, consider this your home. No need to be so reserved.” Pan Han handed her a small dipping sauce with his other hand and gently squeezed her arm.

“Got it, Boss.” Ellie’s face flushed slightly, actually a little embarrassed.

Yan Xiaoli watched this scene unfold, a flurry of questions swirling in her mind: Who am I? Where am I?

She was completely shown up by these two.

Who would wake her up?

“Xiaoli, Ellie won’t need to go for the later publicity runs.” In a daze, the lamb was already cooked. Pan Han picked up a few slices and put them into Yan Xiaoli’s bowl.

“Yes, Boss.” Unconsciously, Yan Xiaoli’s tone also became like Ellie’s.

“Alright, alright, you two just be normal. You’re giving me goosebumps.” Pan Han waved his arms in the air twice.

He couldn’t stand these two beautiful women being so serious either.

Although he was the big boss, it was best to keep work and personal life separate. There was no need for this at home during dinner.

“Alright, my big boss Pan. I’ll go get the wine. Let’s all be normal.” Yan Xiaoli, who usually didn’t ask much, was now the one who knew the least, so she had the fewest reservations.

People are always like that; sometimes it’s better not to know certain things.

“Don’t move, either of you, I’ll get it from the car.” Pan Han shouted. He remembered the wine Guo Jing had given him.

In this damn weather, with such good hotpot, drinking two bottles to warm up would be absolutely wonderful!

As a result, he carried up a whole case of six bottles.

“Big brother, there are three of us, why did you bring so many?” Yan Xiaoli asked, looking at the ordinary-looking case of white wine.

“You’ll know when you taste it.”

At this moment, Ellie brought three small cups, opened a bottle, and filled all three cups.

“Come on, my two beauties. It’s rare for us to meet again, let’s have a drink!” Pan Han raised his glass, looking at the two beautiful women, his mood at its peak.

Living in a large flat, drinking wine given by the National Security Agency, and accompanied by two beautiful women.

If this wasn’t the pinnacle of life’s enjoyment, then what was?

After one drink, the three of them warmed up and began to eat meat heartily.

“This wine is indeed extraordinary.” Yan Xiaoli, having tasted countless wines, could naturally tell.

Good wine always leaves a deep impression with the first sip. But if you keep drinking it, you gradually stop noticing how good it is.

However, once you switch to inferior wine, the bland taste can be immediately detected.

As the saying goes, it’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Ellie, on the other hand, didn’t speak, continuing to pour wine for the three of them.

Her alcohol tolerance was far superior to Yan Xiaoli’s. A glass of good wine thoroughly revitalized her, making her complexion even rosier.

And so, the second round began, the three of them drinking it all down, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Pan Han’s taste buds were fully open, and he ate bowl after bowl of meat.

Ellie sat beside him obediently, looking at Pan Han, her eyes full of affection.

Yan Xiaoli simply ignored them, concentrating on blanching tripe, seven up, eight down!

By the time the third round was finished, Pan Han had already eaten two catties of sliced meat, patted his stomach, put down his chopsticks, and lit a cigarette.

A smoke ring floated above the restaurant, triggering Yan Xiaoli’s nicotine craving. She hadn’t smoked in a long time, but at this moment, she particularly wanted to light one.

So she pulled out two cigarettes, handing one to Ellie.

Ellie, in turn, picked up the lighter and lit hers first, then lit her own and started smoking.

Pan Han looked at the two women and suddenly laughed.

How he wished time could stop at this moment! Perfect happiness in life was probably no more than this.

“Do you two know how to play Landlord?” Pan Han suddenly asked.

“What’s there to know? We play it all the time on set, don’t we?” Yan Xiaoli hadn’t smoked in a long time and was choked, coughing several times.

“I can learn.” Ellie nodded seriously.

“Good, after dinner, we’ll play Landlord. It’s been a long time since I played.”

“We don’t have any money. How do we play!” Yan Xiaoli pretended to pat her pockets, then pulled out a handful of air.

“If I lose, I’ll pay. If you two lose, you take off your clothes!” Pan Han chuckled, ‘Isn’t this my chance!’
