Begitu tiba di hotel, Nian Xiaomu langsung tidur nyenyak, dan saat bangun, ia ingin makan sepuasnya.
Apa bedanya tingkahnya dengan orang yang sedang berlibur?
Wang Miaomiao tidak bisa melihat kegelisahan dan kekhawatiran Nian Xiaomu; sebaliknya, Nian Xiaomu tampak sama sekali tidak peduli pada proyek dengan Lombardi.
Mata Wang Miaomiao menyipit; ia tidak peduli apa maksud Nian Xiaomu melakukan semua ini.
Selama kerja sama itu akhirnya gagal, kesalahan ini pasti akan membuat Nian Xiaomu terlempar dari Yu Corporation!
Wang Miaomiao tidak lagi khawatir memikirkan hal itu.
Ia keluar kamar bersama Nian Xiaomu dan masuk ke restoran di hotel.
Wang Miaomiao tertawa sinis dalam hati begitu menyadari Nian Xiaomu memilih restoran Tionghoa.
Tampaknya Nian Xiaomu benar-benar sudah putus asa terhadap proyek dengan Tuan Lombardi dan berencana membiarkan semuanya berjalan apa adanya.
Karena Lombardi orang Italia, mereka mungkin punya peluang tak sengaja berpapasan jika ke restoran barat.
Namun, Nian Xiaomu justru memilih restoran Tionghoa. Sepertinya ia hanya peduli bisa makan kenyang dan melupakan tujuan keberadaannya di sini!
"Penerjemah Wang, kenapa masih berdiri di situ? Ayo duduk! Katanya restoran ini menyajikan masakan Tionghoa yang lezat. Sekalian kita coba karena sudah di sini!" Mata Nian Xiaomu berbinar begitu membicarakan makanan.
Berkelip-kelip, matanya tampak seperti bintang kecil di langit malam.
Ada kilau memikat dalam matanya.
Bahkan Wang Miaomiao, sesama perempuan, sedikit cemburu melihat paras Nian Xiaomu saat menatapnya.
Namun setelah berpikir lagi, ia tenang kembali karena teringat Nian Xiaomu akan segera menemui ajalnya akibat mengacaukan proyek kerja sama. Wang Miaomiao mengulurkan tangan, menarik kursi, dan duduk di seberang Nian Xiaomu.
"Coba kupikirkan apa yang mau dipesan. Selain kita, rekan-rekan lain juga akan makan." Sambil membalik menu, Nian Xiaomu membacanya dengan teliti sekali sebelum memesan beberapa hidangan untuk dibawa pulang.
Setelah itu, ia menatap Wang Miaomiao dan bertanya, "Penerjemah Wang, kamu mau makan apa?"
"... Aku apa saja. Aku agak khawatir soal proyek dengan Tuan Lombardi—Supervisor Nian, bukankah kita harus mencari Tuan Lombardi sekarang?" Wang Miaomiao memasang raut cemas padahal hatinya bersorak gembira.
Wang Miaomiao membujuk Nian Xiaomu tanpa henti.
"Perut kosong bikin orang tak bisa bekerja dengan baik dan akan merasa sangat tidak nyaman kalau belum makan kenyang. Kita baru punya tenaga untuk bekerja setelah makan." Sambil berbicara, Nian Xiaomu memesan lebih banyak hidangan andalan restoran itu sampai memenuhi seluruh meja.
Ketika mulut Wang Miaomiao ternganga keheranan, Nian Xiaomu menutup menu dengan anggun. Menoleh, ia melihat ke arah pintu masuk restoran.
Nian Xiaomu menunduk dan melirik jam.
Hampir pukul 12 siang.
Lombardi dan timnya pasti kelelahan dan kelaparan setelah perjalanan jauh.
Setelah beristirahat di hotel, mereka seharusnya turun untuk makan karena sekarang sudah waktunya makan siang.
Ia telah melihat informasi Lombardi dan menyelidiki minat pribadinya; ia tahu Lombardi sangat menyukai masakan Tionghoa meskipun orang Italia.
Ia pasti akan menyantap hidangan mewah di restoran Tionghoa setiap kali sedang perjalanan bisnis.
Restoran di Hotel Shi Ting seharusnya jadi pilihan utamanya.
Begitu pikiran itu melintas di benak Nian Xiaomu, beberapa orang berkulit putih muncul di pintu masuk restoran—bukan rombongan besar, hanya lima orang.
Jumlah ini persis sama dengan jumlah tim Tuan Lombardi menurut berkas informasi.
Nian Xiaomu menyipitkan mata, pandangannya tertuju pada orang di barisan depan.
Saat mengenali kemiripan 90% dengan foto Tuan Lombardi, ia tersenyum yakin dan berkata, "Mereka datang!"
"..."
Wang Miaomiao duduk membelakangi pintu masuk restoran. Saat itu, ia melihat Lombardi, yang tadinya ia yakini tidak akan muncul, berdiri tepat di pintu masuk.
Mendengar ucapan Nian Xiaomu, ia terkejut saat menoleh.
Ia tak berani percaya Nian Xiaomu ternyata benar-benar sialan yang beruntung!
Nian Xiaomu menyuruhnya maju dan melakukan tugas penerjemahan. Mendengar itu, Wang Miaomiao mencengkeram serbetnya erat-erat—sekilas cahaya berkelip di matanya saat ia tetap duduk tanpa bergerak.

Nian Xiaomu had had her beauty sleep the moment she reached the hotel and now wanted to eat to her heart’s content the moment she woke up from her sleep.
Were her actions any different from someone who was on holiday?
Wang Miaomiao was unable to tell that Nian Xiaomu was anxious and worried; instead, Nian Xiaomu seemed like she did not give a single hoot about the project with Lombardi.
Wang Miaomiao narrowed her eyes; she did not care about Nian Xiaomu’s intentions for doing these things.
As long as the collaboration ultimately failed, this mistake would definitely result in Nian Xiaomu being ousted out of the Yu Corporation!
Wang Miaomiao was no longer worried when she thought of this.
She left the room together with Nian Xiaomu and entered a restaurant at the hotel.
Wang Miaomiao sneered silently in her heart the moment she noticed that Nian Xiaomu had chosen a Chinese restaurant.
It seemed that Nian Xiaomu had really given up all hope on the project with Mr. Lombardi and was planning to let things run their own course.
Since Lombardi was Italian, they might have had a chance of bumping into him coincidentally if they were headed to a western restaurant.
However, Nian Xiaomu had chosen a Chinese restaurant instead. It seemed that she was only concerned about whether she could eat her fill and had forgotten about the purpose of her being here!
“Interpreter Wang, why are you still standing there? Come and take a seat! I heard that this restaurant serves awesome Chinese food. We can have a taste of it since we are here!” Nian Xiaomu’s eyes brightened the moment she was on the topic of food.
Twinkling, her eyes looked just like the tiny stars in the night sky.
Her eyes carried an enchanting gloss within them.
Even Wang Miaomiao, who was a woman as well, got a little jealous of Nian Xiaomu’s looks as she looked at her.
However, after having second thoughts, she calmed down again because she remembered that Nian Xiaomu would soon meet her doom all because she had messed up the collaboration project. Reaching out, Wang Miaomiao pulled a chair out and sat across from Nian Xiaomu.
“Let me think about what to order. Other than us, our other colleagues will be eating as well.” As Nian Xiaomu flipped through the menu, she read it thoroughly one time before she ordered a few dishes for takeaway.
After that, she looked at Wang Miaomiao and asked, “Interpreter Wang, what would you like do eat?”
“… I am fine with anything. I am pretty worried about the project with Mr. Lombardi—Supervisor Nian, shouldn’t we look for Mr. Lombardi now?” Wang Miaomiao put on a look of worry even though she was in fact feeling gleeful in her heart.
Wang Miaomiao persuaded Nian Xiaomu incessantly.
“One can’t function properly on an empty stomach and would feel extremely awful if he or she did not have a satisfying meal. You will only have the strength to work after you have had your fill.” As Nian Xiaomu spoke, she ordered more of the restaurant’s signature dishes up until they filled up the entire table.
As Wang Miaomiao’s mouth gaped widely in astonishment, Nian Xiaomu closed the menu gracefully. Twisting her head, she looked in the direction of the restaurant’s entrance.
Nian Xiaomu lowered her gaze and took a glance at the time.
It was nearly 12 PM.
Lombardi and his team must be exhausted and hungry from the long journey.
After taking a rest at the hotel, they should come down for a meal since it was already lunchtime now.
She had taken a look at Lombardi’s information and had also investigated his personal interests; she knew that he loved Chinese food even though he was Italian.
He would surely have a sumptuous meal at a Chinese restaurant every time that he was out on a business trip.
The restaurant at Shi Ting Hotel should be his top choice.
Just as this thought flashed past Nian Xiaomu’s mind, a few Caucasian people appeared at the entrance of the restaurant—it wasn’t a huge crowd, and there were just five people in total.
This number was exactly identical to the number of people in Mr. Lombardi’s team according to the information file.
As Nian Xiaomu narrowed her eyes, her gaze landed on the person who stood at the forefront.
When she recognized that he had a 90% resemblance to Mr. Lombardi’s photo, she flashed a confident smile and said, “They are here!”
“…”
Wang Miaomiao was seated with her back facing the entrance of the restaurant. At this point in time, she saw Lombardi, who she had been certain would not appear here, standing right at the entrance.
When she heard what Nian Xiaomu said, she was left stunned the moment she turned her head around.
She dared not believe that Nian Xiaomu was actually such a lucky b*tch!
Nian Xiaomu instructed her to head forward and do the translation work. When Wang Miaomiao heard this, she gripped her napkin tightly—a streak of light flickered in her eyes as she sat still without moving.
