The caviar on Yang Cheng's plate was round and plump, and its color was clear and transparent, even faintly glowing with a golden luster.
This kind of caviar was definitely not ordinary. High-quality caviar was called "black gold" because of this characteristic.
Xu Zhihong finally realized that he had overlooked something, and that was, he did not ask Yang Cheng what kind of caviar he wanted.
With a heart full of anxiety, Xu Zhihong smiled and asked Yang Cheng, "Mr. Yang, the caviar you ordered looks pretty good."
Yang Chen was stuffing his mouth with a spoon. He gulped down another mouthful of red wine, which tasted great. He rolled his tongue and said in enjoyment, "Yeah, the caviar of the Great White Sturgeon from the Caspian Sea really tastes different. I have to thank Boss Xu for your hospitality, hehe …"
The Caspian Sea's White Sturgeon?!
Xu Zhihong's face suddenly darkened, and he was on the verge of going berserk …
In the eyes of the French, who were the most infatuated with caviar, there were only three kinds of sturgeon eggs in the world that could be made into qualified caviar.
These three kinds of fish were Beluga, Oscietra, and Sevruga. The highest grade of Beluga, which was the White Sturgeon, was produced less than a hundred times a year, and only Beluga over 60 years old could be made into caviar.
Among them, the White Sturgeon produced in the Caspian Sea between Russia and Iran was the most precious.
This kind of caviar, in the market, could easily reach a price of more than 2,000 US dollars per 100 grams!
This also meant that within the borders of Huaxia, eating such luxurious food, including the various taxes, storage, and transportation costs, the price of each bite was no different from gold!
"Mr. Yang, you really know how to enjoy life …" Xu Zhihong forcefully held his breath and said with gritted teeth. If it were not for Lin Ruoxi by his side, he suspected that he would have let Hairy Ball close the door and secretly kill this guy who repeatedly provoked him!
Damn it! Pervert! B * stard! Xu Zhihong roared in his heart. Spending tens of thousands was fine, and he would not care about that, but it had to be for this man who was his enemy in the open and in the dark! How could he not be angry?
Yang Cheng waved his hand. "Not at all … CEO Xu, do you want a bite too? There are still a few left on my plate! "
How … how many!? Did he think it was popcorn!?
Xu Zhihong almost spat out a mouthful of blood again. He forced a smile and said, "No need, Mr. Yang can keep it for himself." After that, he didn't give Yang Cheng a chance to speak and directly waved to the waiter, "Serve the dishes! Serve the dishes! "
Xu Zhihong had to finish his meal quickly so that Yang Cheng could leave. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would really not be able to resist pulling out a gun.
When Lin Ruoxi saw that Xu Zhihong had lost his composure, she remained expressionless, but she felt very comfortable in her heart. After all, she had always been extremely repulsed by what Xu Zhihong had done in the past. Due to the need of work, they could only talk calmly.
Lin Ruoxi vented her anger. When she looked at Yang Cheng again, her gaze softened a little. She just felt that if Yang Cheng could spend his time messing with Xu Zhihong on work, she wouldn't have to worry about these things all the time.
They finished their lunch very quickly. Xu Zhihong practically sent the two of them out of the door in a hurry. His smile was uglier than crying.
It was impossible to guard against! It was impossible to guard against! They had accidentally been cheated of tens of thousands of yuan by this scoundrel!
When they walked out of the hotel, Lin Ruoxi seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden. "It's actually very risky for you to do this. Xu Zhihong isn't the kind of person who is afraid of trouble. If he really falls out with you, I'm afraid that things won't be as simple as they seem."
"Are you worried about me?" asked Yang Cheng.
"I just don't want you to keep your mind on messing with those people. Why can't you calm down and learn how to manage?" Lin Ruoxi corrected herself.
Yang Cheng shrugged. "Aren't I doing something serious now? At least I was the one who negotiated the collaboration with Changlin and Muyun this time."
Speaking of this, Lin Ruoxi reminded him, "Li Muhua will personally lead a team to Zhonghai next Monday to sign the final agreement. At that time, you'll be the main person in charge, so you must be there. Don't be too careless."
"Don't worry. Since I promised you, I'll do it well. Where are we going next? "
Lin Ruoxi thought for a while. "Get in my car. We're going somewhere else."
Yang Cheng didn't ask where Lin Ruoxi was going. He figured that the place she needed him to go was probably a place where she needed a shield.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the ground floor of Zhonghai's Emperor Building. This building was famous for being a high-end shopping center. Every floor was either a high-end KTV, conference center, or a high-end clubhouse.
Following Lin Ruoxi into the building, Yang Cheng could see that the staff of the building were all beautiful young women with graceful figures and wearing cheongsams, or handsome men in suits and ties. It was enough to show the importance of serving their clients.
"We're holding a small cocktail party in the clubhouse on the top floor to entertain the representatives of some big projects. Originally, Qianni was going to attend on my behalf, but now that she's out early, it's better for me to come and take a look in person. I asked you to come with me because I hope that you can interact more with the elites of these big companies. It might be of great help to you in the future. " Lin Ruoxi explained as they walked, "The signing of the agreement next week will also be held here. I'll bring you around to familiarize yourself with the lower floors."
"Then if I go in with you, what kind of identity would that be?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi paused, pursed her lips, and said softly, "As the person in charge of an important project, you don't have to explain too much."
Yang Cheng already knew this answer, so he didn't care too much. It would be strange if Lin Ruoxi suddenly announced to the world that he was her husband.
After all, although their relationship had improved, there were still many obstacles between them.
When they arrived at the entrance of the clubhouse on the top floor, Yang Cheng was a little stunned because the name of this clubhouse was "Maple Forest" again!
It can't be Tang Wan's again, can it? Yang Chen mumbled to himself as he followed Lin Ruoxi into the clubhouse. They walked past a few large indoor potted plants and entered the hall.
At this time, there were already dozens of people in the hall holding champagne and cocktails. Seeing Lin Ruoxi enter the hall, many people were surprised, but they were all experienced in social occasions, so they didn't immediately surround her. Only a few people walked up to greet Lin Ruoxi, and after some compliments, they talked about business.
Yang Cheng's appearance didn't attract many people's attention. After a few people simply greeted him, they focused their attention on Lin Ruoxi, who rarely appeared in public.
On the other side, Mo Qianni, who had already been entertaining the guests, also noticed Yang Cheng entering the venue. She was a little surprised, but seeing that Lin Ruoxi was there, she had to continue chatting with the guests, pretending not to see him.
Yang Chen was also happy to be free. Just when he wanted to find a secluded place to sit down and eat some fruits, he saw Tang Wan, who was wearing a black and red off-shoulder gown, walk out from a small room with a sexy and graceful smile on her face, "Mr Yang, we meet again so soon."
Many people knew Tang Wan. After all, Tang Wan had connections in Zhonghai that couldn't be ignored, and she was a strong woman with strong assets. As for her complicated background, it also made people stay away from her. So when they found that she took the initiative to talk to a strange man, many people began to speculate whether Yang Cheng and Tang Wan had any secrets.
Lin Ruoxi, who had been secretly paying attention to Yang Cheng, saw this scene and frowned slightly.
Yang Cheng finally understood what it meant to be everywhere. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he asked, "Miss Tang, can you tell me how many properties you have?"
Tang Wan was stunned for a moment, then she giggled and said, "To be honest, I don't know how many properties I have. Many places are rarely visited once a year, so I can't tell you. If Mr. Yang is tired of seeing me all the time, then Tang Wan will leave immediately. "
"How can that be? I'm already very satisfied if Miss Tang doesn't get tired of seeing me." Yang Cheng also knew that he probably didn't have a good image in the eyes of Tang Wan.
Tang Wan pursed her lips and smiled, "Mr. Yang, do you remember what you promised me last time?"
Yang Cheng thought for a moment, "Let's have dinner together?"
"Yes, but Mr. Yang didn't give me his contact information until the end. This time, you won't leave without saying a word, right?" Tang Wan said with some bitterness.
Yang Cheng was a little embarrassed. He smiled and took out his mobile phone and exchanged phone numbers with Tang Wan.
When the guests saw this scene, they immediately had a better understanding of Yang Chen.
Mo Qianni was so angry that she wanted to stamp her feet. This guy, in front of me and his wife, he even wants to hook up with another woman! Also, when did he suddenly get to know Tang Wan!?
Lin Ruoxi's eyes became more and more unfriendly, and at the same time, she was full of worries.
As the owner of the club, Tang Wan just made a guest appearance and left the banquet hall not long after. When she left, she gave Yang Cheng a slightly meaningful look, obviously reminding Yang Cheng not to forget the agreement.
In the evening, after the banquet was over, Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi returned to the car together. The car was not started. Lin Ruoxi held the steering wheel and was silent for a long time. She said, "Yang Cheng, don't be like Tang Wan, okay?"
"Like what?" Yang Cheng asked curiously.
Lin Ruoxi took a deep breath, looked at the steering wheel, and said unnaturally, "I admit that I can't accept you immediately. So if you find other women outside, although I will feel uncomfortable in my heart, I will not forcibly stop you. Because I haven't paid anything, so I am not qualified.
But … Tang Wan can't. She is not an ordinary woman. You may not know her background, but why do you think such a beautiful woman is always alone? I hope you will think about it carefully. Don't treat her like other women just because she is beautiful. "
Yang Cheng smiled, "Baby Ruoxi, you think too much. I and Tang Wan are just ordinary acquaintances. Hearing what you said, it seems that I am really a beast who thinks about women all day. "
"Yang Cheng!" Lin Ruoxi turned around abruptly and stared at him solemnly. "I'm begging you, don't come into contact with Tang Wan anymore, or else … or else …"
"Otherwise what?" Yang Cheng frowned and asked. He had never seen Lin Ruoxi care so much about a woman. She even used the word "beg" for his sake, lowering herself to him.
Lin Ruoxi whispered, "Otherwise, if something happens, it will be difficult for me to protect you …"
Protect me!? Yang Cheng didn't understand for a moment, "What do you mean?"
"There are some people behind Tang Wan that you can't afford to offend. Even if I use Yu Lei as my trump card, I may not be a match for those people. If they want to harm you because of Tang Wan, I don't know what to do … So, I beg you, even if you look for other women, inside the company or outside the company, I can turn a blind eye, but don't look for Tang Wan, okay?"
Lin Ruoxi's tone carried a hint of pleading. Yang Chen couldn't help but be stunned by the deep worry in her voice.
As a wife, asking her husband to look for other women was already giving Yang Cheng a headache. This was a kind of relaxed and indulgent attitude, but wasn't it because they were not close enough and didn't care enough?
This made Yang Cheng feel a little defeated, but he was deeply touched by Lin Ruoxi saying that she would protect him.
Ever since he was young, it had always been him protecting himself, or he protecting others.
In fact, in Yang Cheng's world, there was almost no one in the world who could protect him.
So, from the moment he married Lin Ruoxi, Yang Cheng subconsciously wanted to protect this woman, even if this woman refused to admit that he was her husband.
No one would ever say — — "I want to protect you!"
But unexpectedly, in Lin Ruoxi's heart, it had always been her who wanted to protect him!
In Lin Ruoxi's view, it didn't matter that Yang Cheng had no money or status. In Zhonghai, he was just an overseas returnee. Although he was good at fighting, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. So, at the critical moment, he still needed her to help him. From the beginning when they first met and brought Yang Cheng out of the police station, Lin Ruoxi had been doing this.
Thinking back to these days, Lin Ruoxi also solved all kinds of troubles for him, and at the same time, she always urged him to study and make progress. Wasn't this also because she hoped that Yang Cheng could better protect her?
She had never seen Yang Cheng's strength, and Yang Cheng didn't intend to show his unusual side to Lin Ruoxi. So, between them, it actually formed a situation where they wanted to protect each other!
The love between a man and a woman was divided into three types: passion, friendship, and responsibility. Often, between a husband and wife, a sweet love could make them stay together, and the only thing that could make them grow old together was the word "responsibility."
Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi were different. They directly skipped the sweet part, and it wasn't passion either. Instead, they directly switched to responsibility. They both wanted to be responsible for each other!
Looking at Lin Ruoxi's beautiful and cold beauty, and her watery eyes, Yang Cheng's heart was surrounded by a warm feeling. At the same time, he also felt a strong sense of family responsibility. He was a man, and he shouldn't always let his woman worry about him.
Taking out a cigarette from his pocket, he didn't care that he was in a car, and slowly lit it for himself. He took a puff. Amidst the lingering smoke, Yang Cheng calmed his mind and solemnly said, "Ruoxi, I promise you, I will never let the dangerous situation that you mentioned happen. Moreover, in the future, don't say anything about you protecting me. I swear, there will never be a situation where I need you to protect me. Only I will protect you. "
"You … you still won't listen to me, right?" Lin Ruoxi said dejectedly.
Yang Cheng smiled, and reached out his finger to scratch Lin Ruoxi's smooth pink face, "Are you free tonight, wife? Let's go on a date."
