"You're Gu Nianzhi? We have the same last name … "Gu Yanran looked very friendly as she nodded at Gu Nianzhi." May I ask what your name is? "
Gu Nianzhi greeted her obediently and said, "Nian as in missing, and Zhi as in Zhi as in Zhi."
Gu Yanran nodded with a smile. "Nianzhi? Nian Zhi? What a nice name … "
"You flatter me, Miss Gu." Gu Nianzhi smiled and didn't know how to respond.
Xue Jingjiang laughed heartily. "Yanran, how can you say someone else's name like that? Look at our Nianzhi, she doesn't even know how to respond! Hahahaha … "
Gu Yanran smiled. "I think it's a special name."
Gu Nianzhi didn't mind and said nonchalantly, "Yeah, it's just one word anyway. That's my name."
Huo Shaoheng coughed and said to Xue Jingjiang, "Boots, you're treating Miss Gu to dinner. You can't be rude."
He was hinting for Xue Jingjiang to take Gu Yanran away and not waste time chattering.
Xue Jingjiang understood what he meant and also understood how Huo Shaoheng felt about Gu Nianzhi. He smiled and nodded at Gu Nianzhi. His tone was much more polite. "Nianzhi, we'll go eat now. Come to Jiulou Fengyue when you have time. I've prepared your favorite dishes for you and can bring them up anytime. "
"Thank you, Brother Xue." Gu Nianzhi thanked him obediently and watched Xue Jingjiang and Gu Yanran leave.
Huo Shaoheng asked her to sit down. "Have you ordered?"
"Not yet, I'll order when you get here." Gu Nianzhi sat on the side of the double seat against the glass wall. Huo Shaoheng sat across from her. His tall frame blocked out prying eyes and gave Gu Nianzhi a very complete space.
Huo Shaoheng turned around and waved for the waitress to order.
"What dishes do you recommend today?" Huo Shaoheng didn't even look at the menu and asked the waitress directly.
The waitress was very attentive and smiled. "Our restaurant's Valentine's Day set today is very popular. Would you like to order one, sir? "
"What dishes do you have?" Huo Shaoheng glanced at the menu that the waitress handed him for Valentine's Day. He immediately chose the most expensive set on the list, which was 6,666 yuan for two. For luck's sake, he specifically added, "Don't put onions on this black pepper steak."
Gu Nianzhi didn't come here to eat, but to enjoy the ambiance and feeling of the place.
On Valentine's Day, having a Valentine's Day feast with the person you like was exactly what you wanted.
Not long after, the set meal was served. First was the appetizer, a small plate of vegetable salad, a small bowl of fruit salad, and a long loaf of freshly baked French baguette.
In order to eat with the bread, there was also a small plate of freshly defrosted caviar in the set meal. It was crushed with a knife and spread on the bread. It was incomparably delicious.
Gu Nianzhi took the knife and fork and skillfully cut a few slices. She smeared caviar on them and placed them on Huo Shaoheng's plate.
Then came the corn seafood chowder. The sweet and crisp corn kernels perfectly balanced the aroma of the seafood chowder.
The main course was black pepper steak and grilled codfish with red wine and herbs, along with a cold plate. The small dining table was densely packed with dishes.
Gu Nianzhi knew that there would be dessert waiting for them after they finished these dishes. She couldn't help propping her head up and saying, "Do we have to finish all this? We'll definitely gain a few pounds after eating. "
Huo Shaoheng took the knife and fork and cut a piece of steak into his mouth. After swallowing, he said to her, "Don't worry. We can exercise after eating."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
It was the middle of the night. How could he exercise?!
However, she quickly understood that this "exercise" wasn't the "exercise" she was referring to …
She lowered her head with a blush and picked up the knife and fork. She silently cut the steak into small cubes and began eating as well.
The steak here was actually just average. It was just nice to look at, but it was a bit overcooked. It was crispy on the outside and hard on the inside. It was quite a burden on the teeth.
She stopped eating after two bites and switched to the grilled codfish.
The fish was even more tender and luscious. She finished the entire red wine herb grilled codfish in one gulp and praised it profusely. "This dish is really good. The fishy smell of the fish is suppressed by the red wine herb, but the sweetness of the fish isn't taken away at all. It's really rare."
Huo Shaoheng saw that Gu Nianzhi had only taken two bites of the black pepper steak and reached out to take it. At the same time, he pushed his plate of grilled codfish over to her.
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "That steak is too hard. It doesn't taste good. Huo Shao, you don't have to eat so much."
"It's okay." Huo Shaoheng looked down and picked up a square piece of steak. "Don't waste it."
Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything. She dragged over Huo Shaoheng's plate of grilled codfish and used the knife to divide it.
On the other side of the restaurant, Gu Yanran and Xue Jingjiang's dinner was almost over. They were delayed for a while because they discovered Huo Shaoheng.
After returning to their seats, they ate a few bites before asking the waitress to take away the plates and serve dessert.
Gu Yanran wanted tiramisu, while Xue Jingjiang wanted a small piece of New York cheesecake.
"Jingjiang, you really should try the tiramisu here." Gu Yanran forked a small piece of tiramisu into her mouth and squinted. "The tiramisu here is really good. It's very authentic and has the flavor of Italy."
Xue Jingjiang smiled. "The chef here was specially invited from Italy by the boss. Do you think it's authentic?"
"There are many chefs in Italy, but not many can make such good tiramisu. Here, try it. " Gu Yanran picked up an unused fork and picked up a small piece for Xue Jingjiang to put into his mouth.
Xue Jingjiang ate a few times and forced himself to swallow. He frowned. "Isn't it too sweet? It's so sweet. Is it really delicious? "
"… Delicious is secondary. I like it because it's the most difficult dessert to make. It's called the king of desserts." Gu Yanran said pointedly. "My own tiramisu is better than this."
"Then I must try Miss Gu's personally made tiramisu when I have the chance," Xue Jingjiang quickly complimented.
"I will if I have the chance." Gu Yanran looked up at him and smiled brightly. She was so beautiful and delicate that he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Although Xue Jingjiang was an experienced man, he had no resistance against a natural beauty like Gu Yanran.
He actually blushed under Gu Yanran's stare. His heart was thumping wildly, and his mind was blank. He couldn't even hear anything. All he could see was Gu Yanran's red lips opening and closing in front of his eyes. Her melodious voice lingered in his ears, but he had no idea what she was saying.
He only had one wish in his heart: If only this voice could continue to speak, and never stop, that would be great …
"Jingjiang? Jingjiang? "Gu Yanran reached out to knock on the table in front of Xue Jingjiang." What's wrong? I'm talking to you. "
"Oh, I'm listening. What did you say? " Xue Jingjiang snapped out of his daze. He couldn't believe an experienced man like him could have such an innocent day …
Gu Yanran was annoyed and amused at the same time. She gently kicked Xue Jingjiang under the table. The sharp tip of Hnik's high heels brushed past Xue Jingjiang's leg, causing him to feel a slight sting. It wasn't particularly painful, but it left a deep impression.
"I'm asking you, are you really childhood friends with Major General Huo? I've never heard you mention that before. "Gu Yanran asked lightly as she took a sip of coffee.
Xue Jingjiang had only mentioned that he knew Huo Shaoheng, but there were many people who knew Huo Shaoheng.
Childhood friends, on the other hand, were different.
"Of course he's my childhood friend. I didn't have to tell you before." Xue Jingjiang regained his composure and joked. "Besides, we're doing business. What does that have to do with Huo Shaoheng? Right? "
"If I'd known that you were close to Major General Huo, I would've asked my subordinates to sign the contract with you quickly. I wouldn't have needed so many letters of credit." Gu Yanran said seriously, "Although the bank's assessment of your finances is problematic, you have Major General Huo's backing. What's there to worry about?"
"Hey, don't say that. Business is business, and favors are favors. I grew up with Major General Huo, but that doesn't mean he has to take responsibility for everything. " Xue Jingjiang was a smart man and quickly tried to distance himself from Huo Shaoheng. "If the bank thinks there's a problem, we can negotiate and resolve it, but I wouldn't dare ask Major General Huo to be my guarantor."
"Oh? I didn't expect you to be so evasive. " Gu Yanran looked at him strangely. "It's not the first time I've done business with people from your country, but this is the first time I've met someone like you. You don't try to curry favor or take advantage of others. Fine, based on your character, I, Gu Yanran, will definitely befriend you! "
Xue Jingjiang grinned and raised his glass. "Then it's a deal!"
Gu Yanran clinked glasses with him and asked curiously, "Major General Huo grew up with you, so who's the girl he brought with him today? You said she's his child, but who brings their own child out for a Valentine's Day meal? Also, one's surname is Gu, and the other is Huo … "
Xue Jingjiang wasn't very clear about Huo Shaoheng's relationship with Gu Nianzhi, but he knew that Huo Shaoheng cared a lot about her and was probably interested in her.
He said vaguely, "That's why we said that. Nianzhi is someone he's protecting, so we all said she's his child."
"Oh …" Gu Yanran didn't understand, but politely expressed her understanding and didn't ask further.
They quickly finished their dessert. They paid and left.
Before leaving, Xue Jingjiang waved at Huo Shaoheng but didn't walk over to say hello.
Gu Yanran also took a look and sighed. "This Miss Gu Nianzhi is so beautiful. I wonder what kind of handsome men and beautiful women her parents were to give birth to such a beautiful little girl."
"Nianzhi? She's not bad … "Xue Jingjiang laughed." Major General Huo's mother is the real beauty. You haven't seen her, right? "
