"Why aren't you saying anything? Did I guess right? "Lu Jin was even more nervous. His tone was slightly impatient and angry.
It seemed that as long as Gu Nianzhi nodded, he would tear those who didn't care about her into pieces …
Gu Nianzhi felt a little uncomfortable.
This kind of unadulterated concern made her feel warm and comforted, but it was a little strange for such strong concern to come from a stranger she had just met.
When she was growing up, Huo Shaoheng always reminded her that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and there was no such thing as a free lunch.
She had to work hard to get what she wanted.
What was given to her for free was either poison wrapped in honey or a trap thrown out as bait.
Her heart was churning with the "rules" that Huo Shaoheng had set for her, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and shook her head. "Of course not. I'm just more easily moved."
Lu Jin looked at her silently with a stubborn expression that said, "Keep making up stories. If I believe you, I lose."
Gu Nianzhi had a headache. How was she going to convince this person?
After thinking about it, she said softly, "Mr. Lu, there are actually a lot of people who care about me. It's true. They treat me very well. I can basically get whatever I want …"
As long as she paid the same price.
Of course, she didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Lu Jin looked at her suspiciously. "Really? But I feel like you're hesitating and reluctant. It seems like you're hiding something. "
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help pursing her lips. She was very worried that she would accidentally say what she was keeping in her heart.
This person was too sharp. Although his words weren't pleasant to the ear, his observation skills were top-notch.
Gu Nianzhi was annoyed and her eyes darted around. She looked up and saw the waiter coming over with the menu. She quickly said, "Oh, I'm starving. Let's see what's good here."
When Gu Nianzhi said she was hungry, Lu Jin's thoughts immediately went astray. He quickly said, "Then hurry up and order. Don't you want to eat seafood? Let's see what seafood specialties they have here. "
Long Jingxuan was the only Michelin three-star Huaxia restaurant in H City. It did have its own delicious specialties.
Before they ordered, the waiter brought the appetizers. They were free and available at every table.
Gu Nianzhi looked at it and licked her lips.
It was indeed a high-class restaurant. The appetizer was pickled cucumber and abalone.
A delicious abalone was placed on top of a few slices of tender cucumber. Just the color scheme alone was enough to whet one's appetite.
Gu Nianzhi took a bite of the abalone, then didn't hesitate to order the abalone and chicken crisp platter, dragon with jade pear fragrance, crispy fried lobster balls, French duck liver stuffed crab, and celery mixed green melon dumplings. The main dish was Long Jingxuan's signature lobster fried rice, and the dessert was poplar sweet dew.
After ordering, she looked at Lu Jin embarrassedly and said, "Did I order too much?"
Lu Jin shook his head seriously and said, "I've calculated the amount of food here. The food you ordered is only enough for you to eat until you're half full."
"Oh?" Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows. "You've eaten here before?"
"No." Lu Jin shook his head honestly. "I calculated it from their menu and the calories of every dish on their menu."
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
The waiter's eyes were almost popping out of his head.
He had worked here for so many years, but this was probably the first time he had seen someone calculate the amount of food from the calories of every dish on their menu …
"… Then, should I order more?" Gu Nianzhi looked at the price of each dish and her heart thumped.
She hoped that she had brought enough money for a meal.
It was too expensive.
Lu Jin flipped through the menu and quickly ordered, "Six gold-foil seafood dumplings. The menu says that there's fish maw, ginseng, and mushrooms from Japan. The nuclear leak in Japan has been quite serious in the past two years. Food raw materials from there can't be served on our table. If I measure it, I'll sue your restaurant for treating human life like grass. "
The waiter's legs began to go weak and he wanted to kneel down.
Gu Nianzhi listened with relish and nodded repeatedly. "That's true. We don't need mushrooms from Japan. The mushrooms from Yungui in our country are very good."
Then she reminded the waiter, "Remember, if you don't explain it to the chef, we won't comply."
The waiter nodded repeatedly. "I'll remember, I'll remember."
All food raw materials from Japan couldn't be used in the dishes ordered by this table of customers.
Lu Jin continued to order. "Two organic Australian black and white lobster balls with scallions, three baskets of scallop dumplings, and an appetizer platter with barbecued pork, roast duck, roast suckling pig, and jellyfish skin."
He explained to Gu Nianzhi, "This platter isn't actually healthy. The fat content is too high, but because the amount is very small, I'll still order one for you to try. The roast suckling pig here is unique, so it's worth trying."
Gu Nianzhi's saliva was about to drip out, and her eyes shone with the light of a glutton who had seen delicious food. "Okay, okay. I like to try delicacies from all over the world."
Lu Jin looked at the menu again and said, "Four servings of lobster fried rice, and two servings of each of the dishes she ordered before. That's enough."
Gu Nianzhi silently calculated the bill.
This meal would cost about 5,000 yuan, and she would spend almost a month's salary.
Just as she was wondering if she still had the money to go shopping and buy some local specialties, Lu Jin had already handed the menu back to the waiter and said, "This meal will be signed under the name of the Lu Corporation."
The waiter's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "May I ask if you're a senior executive of the Lu Corporation?"
Those who had the authority to sign the bill were all senior executives.
Lu Jin took out his business card. "I have the authority to sign."
Gu Nianzhi blushed and quickly said, "This meal is on me! Don't be like this, it's not good if others find out … "
This was eating and drinking at public expense …
If Huo Shaoheng found out, he would probably break her legs.
The waiter ignored Gu Nianzhi and left happily with Lu Jin's business card.
Lu Jin frowned and looked at Gu Nianzhi. "What's wrong with that? As a shareholder of the Lu Corporation, can't I even sign the bill? "
Gu Nianzhi began to reason. "Mr. Lu, don't be like this. We agreed that I would treat, so I ordered these dishes. If you were the one treating, I wouldn't have ordered them. Besides, we already agreed. What do you mean by going back on your word? "
Actually, if Lu Jin had taken the initiative to treat her to a meal, she definitely wouldn't have come.
Lu Jin felt that it made sense and said regretfully, "Then this meal is on you, and the next meal is on me."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She decided not to dwell on this issue.
She could manage this meal for three days.
Whether it was her appetite or her wallet.
Gu Nianzhi smiled at Lu Jin and didn't say anything else.
The two of them made up their minds and began to enjoy the food quietly.
The waiter brought the dishes over one after another.
It was only then that Gu Nianzhi realized that the so-called "dragon with jade pear fragrance" was actually a combination of shrimp and pear.
The shrimp meat was delicious, and the pear meat was sweet and delicious. It was wrapped in a little powder and steamed together. Both foods retained their natural taste, and when mixed together, the aftertaste was endless.
She ate the delicious food in small bites and sat upright. When she ate, she chewed carefully without showing her teeth, and of course, she didn't smack her lips.
Her demeanor was dignified and elegant. One look at the way she ate was enough to tell that she had a good upbringing and must have come from a good family.
It was also said that in a rich family, only after three generations did they know how to eat and dress.
The way Gu Nianzhi ate was enough to convince people that she was a lady from a wealthy family.
At that moment, no one thought that she was an orphan whose parents had died.
Lu Jin didn't know the taste of his own food, and his attention was all on Gu Nianzhi.
He saw the way she ate and nodded repeatedly in his heart. He finally believed what Gu Nianzhi had said.
There should still be someone who cared about her.
Because the kind of life you lived, the kind of person you would grow up to be.
No matter how hard people tried to hide it, they couldn't hide the vicissitudes in their eyes and the nervousness in their posture.
They wished they could transform into swords of revenge at all times, and their entire bodies were tense.
Gu Nianzhi's neither servile nor overbearing posture, her elegant demeanor, especially her clear and moving eyes, and her witty and playful manner of speaking, were enough to convince people that she was indeed living a good life.
Lu Jin watched her eat. The more he watched, the happier he became. It was as if he had drunk a bottle of 1982 Maotai. He was drunk.
The two of them didn't speak much. They ate most of the dishes in one go before looking at each other and smiling. They began to chat.
Gu Nianzhi raised the mango juice in her hand and smiled at Lu Jin. "The portions of these dishes are indeed too small. I can finish a plate in two bites."
She pointed at the abalone chicken crisp in front of her.
On the huge plate, there were three abalone chicken crisp. Gu Nianzhi finished all the abalone chicken crisp in a few bites.
Needless to say, the abalone was delicious. The crispy skin on the outside was even more crisp and tender, and the filling inside was only fresh and not fishy.
She wanted to swallow her tongue.
After eating three, Gu Nianzhi looked at Lu Jin with a lingering desire.
Lu Jin actually understood the look in her eyes. He shook his head and said, "You can't order any more of this. Although it's delicious, it's very high in calories, cholesterol, and purines. It's not good for your health if you eat too much."
Gu Nianzhi licked her lips and nodded obediently. "Okay, then I won't eat anymore. I'll try this dessert. "
The fragrant poplar branch mango was considered Long Jingxuan's signature dessert. Gu Nianzhi took a bite and didn't like the overly sweet taste.
Lu Jin saw that she didn't eat much, so he didn't rush her. He nodded. "You should also eat less desserts. Eat more organic fruits. They're no worse than this dessert."
During the meal, Gu Nianzhi was taught a lot about food safety and health by Lu Jin. Not only was she satisfied with the material (food), but she was also satisfied with the spiritual (knowledge).
The meal lasted until three o 'clock in the afternoon, and Gu Nianzhi couldn't take it anymore.
She handed her card to the waiter to settle the bill and agreed not to put it on the Lu Corporation's account.
The waiter reluctantly agreed and took her card in exchange for Lu Jin's business card.
Gu Nianzhi didn't look at the bill and stuffed it into her wallet. She was worried that she would vomit blood if she saw it …
She still had a smile on her face as she said to Lu Jin, "Mr. Lu, I really can't eat anymore tonight. If there's a chance in the future, shall we choose another restaurant to have a good meal?"
Lu Jin saw that she had indeed eaten a lot, so he wasn't in a hurry. He said, "Okay, don't lie down and sleep right away when you go back. You can walk for five more minutes before you rest."
He nagged at her about what she should pay attention to after the meal. Gu Nianzhi didn't mind his nagging and listened very carefully. She walked all the way back to her room and opened the door with her key card before saying to him, "Thank you, Mr. Lu. I had a good time today."
It had been a long time since Lu Jin had spoken so much in one breath. It was rare for an obedient person to not only not hate him, but also listen very seriously and not perfunctorily.
He was so happy that he was almost humming all the way back to his room.
Lu Yuan and Zhao Liangze were discussing important matters in the inner room. When they heard Lu Jin come in, they fell silent at the same time.
After a while, Zhao Liangze was puzzled. "CEO Lu, your brother can sing?!"
Lu Yuan: "!!!"
..
The next night was the Lu Corporation's grand celebration banquet.
Gu Nianzhi changed into a formal black dress and only wore a necklace of natural seawater wild pearls.
The pearls were full, and each one was the size of a pinky finger. What was rare was that each one was almost exactly the same size. The pearls were shiny and complemented her delicate and fair skin.
Walking into the beautifully decorated banquet hall, Gu Nianzhi found Xiao Zhang, who was eating the buffet with a plate. She smiled and said, "Aren't you a celebrity chaser? Where are those celebrities? "
Xiao Zhang had gone out shopping during the day and hadn't eaten all day. She was waiting for the celebration banquet buffet to fill her stomach.
Although it was important to chase after celebrities, it was more important to fill her stomach.
Xiao Zhang chewed on the fragrant lobster fried rice and said incoherently, "… I think they're over there. I saw a few celebrities surrounding Miss Xie just now."
Gu Nianzhi asked nervously, "Miss Xie? Which Miss Xie? "
"It's Prime Minister Xie's niece, Xie Qingying." Xiao Zhang looked around and found traces of Xie Qingying. He pointed and said, "There, she's over there."
