The restaurant opened for business, and business was booming like a signature dish. When the soup base was poured from the big spoon into the bowl, the rich fragrance of the meat spread out. The spicy chicken pieces were sprinkled on the rice noodles, which couldn't hide the spiciness. The color of the red oil and the fine white and tough rice noodles amazed the diners who walked in tentatively and became expectant.
Liu Changan scanned the QR code on the table and glanced at the menu. Although he was not in a hurry to order, he decided to try the rice noodles on the first day of the opening. He didn't pay much attention to the trifles of the opening, but there was no reason for him not to care about the quality of the dishes.
"What would you like to eat?" An Nuan warmly greeted Zhu Juntang and Bai Hui.
"It seems that there is no choice at the moment." Bai Hui glanced at the menu and said, "There is only soybean milk for beverages, rice noodles for staple food, and Zhou Dongdong's Brand Chicken Drumstick for snacks … Huh? Haha … What is Zhou Dongdong's Brand Chicken Drumstick? "
"It's so expensive." Zhu Juntang suddenly sighed.
The three of them looked at her together. Liu Changan's first reaction was a little surprise, but then he understood and turned his head, not taking what she said as customer feedback. Bai Hui and An Nuan were both shocked. Even Zhu Juntang said it was expensive. Could it be that there was really a problem with the restaurant's pricing?
Zhu Juntang was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. This was the effect she wanted. Building No. 2 of Baolong Center often revealed a feeling of "I am an ordinary heroine, I know how to live, and I am down-to-earth." Today, Zhu Juntang decided to completely destroy An Nuan's arrogance while the other party was unprepared. Not only could Zhu Juntang be elegant and noble, but she could also sigh "so expensive" like a little girl from an ordinary family. Zhu Juntang had always thought that sigh "so expensive" was the essence of ordinary people's life, and she cleverly grasped this point.
"It's okay … After all, we need to make money. Those who can't afford the price can choose not to eat. There are poor people everywhere in the world, but there is no shortage of rich people." Bai Hui was also a "little rich woman," so she spoke with confidence. She didn't want to do this kind of business. Originally, she thought that buying a house was very profitable, but she heard that investing in stocks was faster. So, Bai Hui asked her cousin, and Zhong Qing recommended a few stocks to her. Bai Hui saw a stock related to biotechnology and genetics. She remembered that Liu Changan studied biology, so it should be good. So, she bought this stock.
She didn't expect it to keep rising after she bought it. Now, Bai Hui felt that her net worth was increasing every day. It was very good, so Bai Hui became more and more certain that, although Liu Changan was a very annoying person, the luck of some people and things that were close to him would change. For example, she had been very poor in the past, but when Liu Changan sat at the same table with her, she made a small fortune. When she met him at the Window of the World, she made a big fortune. Then, she decided to buy stocks because of him, and it kept rising.
"You have to know, if we each order a bowl of rice noodles, a cup of soy milk, and a Zhou Dongdong brand chicken drumstick, the four of us will be … hmm … hmm … a lot of money. Maybe it's enough for some ordinary students to live on for a month." Zhu Juntang's tone was heavy with a sense of pity.
"Poor students in school apply for all kinds of subsidies. Even if their families don't give them a penny, they shouldn't be able to live on for so little a month, right? How can they survive then? Our school has such an accountability system. If a student's university education can't continue simply because of the school's subsidies, it will be a very serious problem. " An Nuan looked at Zhu Juntang strangely. She knew that Zhu Juntang was very rich, but she wasn't familiar with Zhu Juntang, and they hadn't interacted much. Today, she felt that this person was very pretentious. When she talked about serious social issues, her style was exactly the same as that of Taiwan's political news.
Zhu Juntang still wanted to express her sympathies for the poor, but Liu Changan looked at her with a gentle expression. "Please don't make such comments anymore, Third Young Miss. Diamonds will fall off when you walk."
"Of course not!" Zhu Juntang looked down at her shoes worriedly. Today, only her shoes were inlaid with diamonds. If one or two diamonds fell off, her obsessive-compulsive disorder would feel very uncomfortable looking at them … It wasn't that she felt sorry for the diamonds, but diamonds were actually very cheap in most cases.
Bai Hui and An Nuan didn't take Zhu Juntang's words seriously anymore, and continued to look at the menu … There was nothing to look at, so they scanned the QR codes to order, and tacitly didn't ask anyone to pay. An Nuan ordered two rice noodles, two cups of soy milk, and two Zhou Dongdong brand chicken drumsticks. Bai Hui also ordered two, but only one rice noodles, because Zhu Juntang didn't plan to eat it. She had tasted it once and felt that if she ate it all, her lips would rot.
Zhu Juntang was a little dissatisfied. Liu Changan stopped her from continuing to perform. He must have realized that she was better than An Nuan. This old man was very protective.
"Your shoes are really nice." An Nuan also looked down at Zhu Juntang's shoes. Even for girls, dancing in high heels was something that required more practice.
"Fortunately, our feet are the same size. She has four pairs of the same shoes, or I can't afford to buy the same shoes as her." Bai Hui was secretly happy. She was very happy. Zhu Juntang couldn't accept shoes that had been worn by others, so she gave it to Bai Hui. She didn't know the price of this pair of shoes, but how could Zhu Juntang's things be cheap?
"Four pairs of the same shoes?" An Nuan could buy several different colors for the same style, but the four pairs of shoes of Zhu Juntang were probably exactly the same, right?
"Is there a problem?" Zhu Juntang was puzzled by An Nuan's doubts.
"No." An Nuan thought that maybe you are a centipede spirit, and your body is full of feet. Wearing four pairs of shoes at one time is just right.
"I can give you a pair as well." Zhu Juntang said generously. When she bought it, she liked it very much, but she had worn it today, so she didn't feel that it was so fresh.
"No need, I can't wear your shoe size." An Nuan waved her hand. With her height, if she wore size 3536 like Bai Hui and Zhu Juntang, she would look top-heavy and uncoordinated.
Zhu Juntang turned sideways and wanted to look down at An Nuan's feet. An Nuan quickly shrunk her feet under the stool. Liu Changan hit Zhu Juntang's head. Zhu Juntang held her head in pain and glared at Liu Changan. Although she was very smart, no one could accept that her head would become stupid after being hit!
Bai Hui thought that if she lowered her head to look at An Nuan's feet, would she also be hit? Bai Hui found that she was actually a little envious of Zhu Juntang's head being hit by Liu Changan just now. This thought made her a little ashamed. What's with this cheap feeling?
However, what was certain was that Zhu Juntang and Liu Changan should have a close relationship caused by a secret reason that An Nuan didn't know. Otherwise, how could Zhu Juntang show anger and grievance, but she didn't intend to fall out with him?
"But An Nuan's legs are really long." Since An Nuan's attitude was friendly today, and she didn't have any hidden intentions, Bai Hui also sincerely praised An Nuan. She was usually envious, but she was more or less unwilling to praise An Nuan in front of Liu Changan. He was already very proud, why should she encourage his arrogance?
"When you grow up, you look like two bamboo poles. In fact, the key is that your figure is well-proportioned. You both look slender and slender." An Nuan praised him and felt sorry for herself. "I can't wear a lot of cute stockings. Those soft and cute stockings are basically only suitable for girls below the height of 1.68 meters."
"But you look good in a skirt. An evening dress needs a tall figure to be elegant, and you look especially good in a cheongsam." Bai Hui also said.
Liu Changan watched them praise each other without saying a word. He reserved his opinion about the current friendly atmosphere. Girls were really superficial creatures. It would be a little too naive to think that they really appreciated each other now.
"I suddenly remember. If I combine the two of you, it'll become Qin Yanan," Zhu Juntang said with sudden realization.
The two people who were praising each other stopped, still maintaining a reserved and polite smile on their faces. They tacitly pretended not to hear what Zhu Juntang said. After all, they were not familiar with the woman Zhu Juntang mentioned. Wasn't it normal not to respond?
It was quiet.
Zhou Shuling delivered the dishes on the table. It was not that the waiter was too busy, but that the guests at this table were particularly important.
"You do your thing, don't bother to greet us." Liu Changan waved his hand and urged Zhou Shuling not to say nonsense such as "how is the taste?" or "is it too spicy?"
Zhou Shuling muttered a few words and walked away. She felt that it was necessary to do so. Girls should talk a lot of nonsense with her and ask a lot of nonsense to feel valued.
"I wish you a prosperous business." An Nuan said some auspicious words before eating.
"I wish you a prosperous business." Bai Hui originally wanted to say something different from An Nuan, but there was no creative sentence to use on this occasion. She was also not as good at reading poems as Liu Changan. Otherwise, an auspicious poem would appear more high-end than An Nuan.
"I wish you … immortality." Zhu Juntang also wanted to say this kind of auspicious words, but she did not want to appear the same as others. After saying it, she was a little proud. Her words were different and full of meaning.
An Nuan glanced at Zhu Juntang and was a little concerned in her heart. This sentence of Zhu Juntang was completely out of tune. It was not a birthday celebration, so why did she say that she wished him immortality? Zhu Juntang should not be so ignorant … An Nuan just remembered that "immortality" was also mentioned by Liu Changan to her. Could it be that there was a special meaning or story here that she did not know, and Liu Changan and Zhu Juntang had a tacit understanding?
An Nuan casually turned her head and glanced at Liu Changan. Her boyfriend was still treating the food with his usual serious attitude. Zhu Juntang revealed an expression as if she was trying to make eye contact with Liu Changan or gain some kind of tacit understanding that no one else would know, but failed.
"The rice noodles are delicious." An Nuan said to Bai Hui.
"Yeah, it's really good." Bai Hui nodded her head. An Nuan seemed to be too emotional all of a sudden.
Zhu Juntang began to eat the Zhou Dongdong brand drumstick. If it was not for the name, Zhu Juntang did not intend to eat it. Zhu Juntang only liked to use the meat from the chicken wings to make dishes or meat buns. They were not oily, not greasy, and fresh and tender, unlike other meat buns that were oily and too meaty.
While they were eating, Zhongqing walked over and whispered something in Zhu Juntang's ear. Then, he retreated and quickly greeted a group of people who were walking over.
No one asked what was going on, but they were a little curious.
"There are leaders from the city coming to Baolong Center for an inspection. We did not receive any notice before. Zhongqing is going to receive them, "Zhu Juntang said casually.
"There are reporters from the TV station following them." Bai Hui was more sensitive to cameras and cameras. "Do you think they will come to this restaurant to film?"
"Yes." An Nuan had a complicated expression on her face. She saw a familiar figure. It was Qin Yanan, who was exceptionally tall and mature. Even among the group of leaders, he was the most eye-catching. She realized that other than herself, there were many others who were paying special attention to Liu Changan's shop, which he himself did not pay much attention to.
An Nuan thought that this was definitely not a coincidence. When she first met Qin Yanan, this woman pulled the leaders from the provincial office to the First High School and specifically asked Liu Changan to attend. This time, she also pulled the leaders from the city over. Coincidentally, they were all in the same place as Liu Changan. How could this be a coincidence? This … this was her cousin. How could this be a coincidence?
"Will it really happen?" Although she did not know why An Nuan was so sure, Bai Hui quickly put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth. She took out a cute pink mirror and lipstick to touch up her makeup. If she appeared on TV, she would look beautiful.
"Don't you need to go and greet them?" Bai Hui tilted her head and asked Zhu Juntang.
Zhu Juntang was eating Zhou Dongdong's chicken leg seriously. It was unexpectedly delicious and not greasy. Zhongqing just came to inform her and did not ask Zhu Juntang to greet them. If they could not even eat in peace and had to put down their chopsticks to greet polite guests, how could the rich live a superior life? Then did they arrange all kinds of titles such as president and general manager to let them guard the door?
Just as An Nuan had guessed, one of the inspectors was obviously the leader of the group. He was chatting and laughing with Qin Yanan as they stood outside the shop. Then, they decided that today's meal would be at this noodle shop. The group of people looked left and right, and as they looked around, they nodded appreciatively and sat down.
Zhou Shuling walked out. How could she not know that the leader had come? What's more, Qin Yanan gave her a hint with her eyes.
The TV station followed the whole process and made a brief interview with Zhou Shuling. It took about half an hour. It was not until Qin Yanan left that she made an "OK" gesture to Liu Changan's table and walked out of the door. It turned out that she did not come to say hello.
"We are on the screen. I don't know if it will be broadcasted!" Bai Hui said with some excitement. She also knew that it was impossible for the TV station to broadcast the whole process of the news.
"You can shoot a video and upload it on the Internet. Many people will watch it, right? Maybe there will be more people watching it. " An Nuan did not quite understand why Bai Hui was excited. If the online media was not so developed, it would be a little fresh.
"How can it be the same? This kind of leader is all news. How can the news be the same as a video shot by yourself? " Bai Hui shook her head and twisted her body a little awkwardly. "Qin Yanan is different from an ordinary person like me. The camera avoided her from the beginning to the end. She probably didn't want to be on the screen."
"There's nothing we can do about it. She's just too good-looking. Such a good-looking woman would be subjected to all sorts of obscenities in the news of leaders." Zhu Juntang was very understanding. "Me too."
"She did this to advertise, right?" An Nuan asked her boyfriend, Qin Yanan's cousin, Liu Changan, who had not really established a relationship with Qin Yanan.
"Nowadays, there are too many online shops that deliberately market themselves. People are tired of it and don't believe it anymore. On the contrary, the shops that appear in serious news have the feeling of traditional shops. It makes people believe that they are not just relying on hype and marketing. The audience of TV news is not as large as that of many online media, but the people who watch this kind of news are ordinary citizens who pay attention to daily life and society. I think the word of mouth generated from their mouths is more reliable than those online shops. " Liu Changan nodded. "Qin Yanan wouldn't be so ridiculous as to use his official position for personal gain and pull such a large group of people over just for an advertisement. However, mentioning this shop casually in the original itinerary and letting people in to take a look is something that the higher-ups are used to and understand, as long as they give him face."
"That's also good intentions." An Nuan nodded as if nothing had happened.
"It's nothing. Jun Sha, how many people don't give her face?" Zhu Juntang said disapprovingly, "I am one of them … but I usually have to give her face, or she will hit me."
Bai Hui and An Nuan burst out laughing. Zhu Juntang frowned slightly. It seemed that she had lost face by saying that. Fortunately, Liu Changan did not laugh. After all, he knew that he still had a high status in front of Qin Yanan.
"I didn't expect Miss Qin to be so enthusiastic. The highest leader I used to know was Director Chen of the street office." Zhou Shuling ran over excitedly to report to Liu Changan. She was not stupid, and she knew that this could not be a coincidence.
"Go ahead. I will pick up Zhou Dongdong in the afternoon and show her the way. She can come here to do her homework after school." Liu Changan got up and was ready to leave.
"Alright, alright. Thank you for your hard work." Zhou Shuling was so excited today that her incoherent behavior made even Liu Changan start to be polite to her.
"That's all." Liu Changan smiled, took An Nuan's hand, and walked out of the store.
Zhu Juntang and Bai Hui had already walked out and asked Liu Changan and An Nuan if they wanted to go shopping together.
"No, you guys go shopping. We have to pick up Zhou Dongdong from school." An Nuan waved goodbye.
"Bye!"
"Bye!"
The smile on An Nuan's face disappeared until Bai Hui and Zhu Juntang went upstairs in the elevator. She looked at Liu Changan and asked coquettishly and casually, "Guess what I want to ask you today?"
"Guess what color underwear I'm wearing today?" Liu Changan asked in return. Seriously, he wasn't the worm in her stomach. Even though the method to achieve immortality was to let his worm in her stomach to try it out.
"Black."
Today, I received a message from Old Monk Too Young, the moderator and leader of many titles. The message was as follows:
"I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student."
Blow it yourself.
