Ian and the others looked at these elders, who looked much younger than they were. They were truly astonished.
However, when Xiao Lingyu introduced her parents to them, her jaw dropped once again.
“Xiao… CEO Xiao, is this your Mother?”
Ian and the others stared at this young woman who was 70-80% similar to Xiao Lingyu. She looked to be only in her 30s and 40s. Their faces were filled with astonishment.
“Your mother is a little too young, isn’t she? Standing together with you, you are practically sisters!”
!!
If Xiao Lingyu had not introduced herself, Ian and the others would not have believed that they were mother and daughter.
Mother Xiao seemed to understand them. She winked at them and said with a smile, “Eat well, sleep well, have a good attitude, and you will naturally become younger and younger!”
Ian and the others, “…”
They probably got the same compliment every time, so they had the same reply.
Ian and the others listened to Xiao Lingyu’s introduction of their family again. They were no longer surprised that Xiao Lingyu’s family looked so young.
They were really envious of this family of people who were so good at taking care of themselves.
As for the secret they had to stay so young, they were half skeptical.
However, they were soon attracted by the fragrance on the dining table.
The fragrance here was much more intense than the food in the gourmet hall.
The food was rich in color, aroma, and taste. It made them want to sit at the dining table and eat immediately.
Of course, their rationality made them restrain their actions.
Mother Xiao saw that they were staring at the food and drooling. She immediately smiled and said, “Come, sit down. We were waiting for you to come back to eat.”
With the Xiao family’s greeting, Ian and the others quickly sat down.
Father Xiao took out the good wine from the house.
Mother Xiao smiled and said, “I heard from Yu ‘Er that you’re all foreigners and are used to western food. I don’t know how to make Western food, but I can make a few home-cooked dishes. I hope you can eat them.”
Mother Xiao spoke in Chinese. Ian and the others didn’t understand, and their eyes revealed confusion.
Xiao Letong, who was sitting next to Xiao Lingyu, immediately translated for them, “My Grandma said that you’re used to western food, but she doesn’t know how to cook Western food. She only knows how to cook a few home-cooked dishes. She hopes that you don’t mind.”
Xiao Letong’s English was quite standard, which made Ian and the others impressed.
Ian said to Xiao Lingyu, “President Xiao, your son is really cute and smart. How old is he now? Is He Seven?”
Xiao Letong answered him, “No, no, I’m not seven. I’m only four today.”
“Ha, four?” Ian and the others looked at Xiao Letong’s height and couldn’t believe that the child in front of them was only four. “You grow up so fast!” Ian praised.
Then, Ian politely replied to Mother Xiao, “Mrs. Xiao, we didn’t like to eat Chinese food in the past, but after we came here, we fell in love with it. The food you cooked must be so delicious!”
Xiao Letong translated for Mother Xiao.
Mother Xiao smiled and said, “Then you have to eat more! Do you drink wine? Our wine is also very good!”
Under Tong Tong’s translation, Ian and the other three nodded and said, “Yes, we will drink wine. Today, we will definitely have a good taste of president Xiao’s wine!”
They were very curious about all the food in Taoyuan village, so they naturally wouldn’t let go of the opportunity to taste the wine.
Father Xiao opened a small jar of peach blossom wine.
As soon as the jar was opened, the fragrance of Peach Blossom Wine immediately wafted out.
“Oh, this wine smells so good!” Ian didn’t hold back in his praise. “Such fragrant wine must be very delicious.”
Xiao Letong curled his lips and said, “The peach blossom wine specially made by our Xiao family isn’t something that ordinary people can drink.”
Ian and the others were even more interested. They smiled and said, “Oh, is that so? Then we’ll definitely have a good drink!”
Father Xiao poured a glass of wine for each of them. Ian and the others couldn’t wait to take a sip. Then, they couldn’t help but exclaim, “This wine… This wine is simply too delicious. I’ve never drunk such a fragrant and delicious wine!”
Even the ’83 Lafite that they treasured didn’t have such a mellow taste.
Just a sip of this wine was enough to make people unable to stop.
Then, the five of them gulped it down.
Looking at the empty wine glass, Ian and the others looked at the Xiao family members and couldn’t help but blush.
Father Xiao smiled, then immediately stood up and filled their wine glasses with wine. He said with a smile, “The wine in our house has this effect. Every guest who comes to my house drinks like this!”
Father Xiao said this to ease the awkwardness of the five guests.
After drinking the first glass, Ian would pay attention to the rest.
Then, with the introduction of the Xiao family members and Xiao Letong’s translation, they tasted every dish in advance.
They were shocked when they tasted the food. They wanted to pour every dish on the table into their bowls and swallow them all.
These dishes were so delicious and beautiful. They were much better than what they had in the cafeteria at noon.
It was the first time they had eaten such delicious dishes.
Now they finally understood what Xiao Lingyu meant when she said that she would reward her employees by having a meal at her home.
Such a delicious meal could not even be eaten at a sky-high restaurant.
The dinner lasted for an hour. Well, actually, there were only five people who had eaten for more than an hour. The elders of the Xiao family went to rest after dinner while the women went to clean up. The rest of them accompanied Ian and the others.
After all, they were guests. They could not be too rude, so they left the guests to eat and drink at the table.
An hour later, Ian and the other three touched their round bellies and could not help but burp.
They looked at the food on the table with pity in their eyes.
They wanted to continue eating, but their bellies were so big that they couldn’t fit any more food.
“President Xiao, the food your family cooks is really delicious,” Ian and the others praised him again.
Xiao Lingyu blinked and said, “My Mommy’s cooking is pretty good, right?”
“How can you describe it as pretty good? It’s simply amazing, okay?”
Xiao Lingyu said, “Yes. I have always had many incentives for my company’s employees. One of them is naturally those who are outstanding in their work and have the best performance can come to my house to eat and drink for a week!”
Ian and the others were speechless.
This was an extreme temptation.
Even if they paid a lot, they would not be able to eat such delicious food.
Therefore, they had to work hard even for this bite of food. They absolutely could not be outdone by others.
Ian and the others nodded and said, “Yes, we understand, President Xiao!”
They had gotten the tour guide to show them around the entire farm and then brought them to their home for a meal. Everyone understood the intentions of Xiao Lingyu. She had laid a trap for them.
But even if they knew that this was a trap, they still jumped down willingly.
Sigh, they had followed Bruce into the boat of thieves.
Xiao Lingyu did not hide her intentions. She immediately felt amused.
Her company was expanding wantonly and was in urgent need of all kinds of talents, especially those from foreign markets. Now that the five of them had delivered themselves to her door, how could she not lure them in?
Xiao Lingyu saw that they had eaten their fill and suggested, “The night view of the village is very good. Now that you have eaten your fill, you can go take a look. How about taking a walk?”
Of course, Ian and the others would not refuse.
Xiao Lingyu called the tour guide and translator, Xiao Zhou, over.
“Xiao Zhou, take them to enjoy the night view of our Taoyuan Village!”
“Yes, President Xiao!”
