In just half an hour, Tan Xiu had explained all his plans and discussed it with Long Hanwen. Finally, they finalized a perfect plan.
"Are we having breakfast here, Uncle Long?"
Asked Tan Xiu with a guilty conscience after discussing the proper business.
"Since we've made the plan, then I'll go back and prepare ahead of time." Long Hanwen shook his head. "On the way here, the City Public Security Bureau's leaders and the Harbo Group's people have arrived at my residence. I'll deal with them first and wait for your arrival."
"Alright!"
Tan Xiu felt relieved inwardly and sent Long Hanwen out of the house with a smile on his face.
When Tan Xiu returned to the living room on the first floor, he saw Andy coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron. What made Tan Xiu laugh and cry was that Andy's delicate and lovely face had some pot ashes on it, making her look very distressed.
"She doesn't look like someone who can cook."
Tan Xiu secretly laughed inwardly, yet he maintained his composure on the surface and lightly said, "Andy is good! You even took the initiative to make breakfast. Have you already prepared it? I'm already hungry. "
Andy glanced at Kang Xia and stammered, "Are you going to keep your word, Boss?"
"I may not be the Emperor, but I've always been a man of my word." Tan Xiu nodded.
Upon hearing it, Andy immediately asked, "Kang Xia said that if I want to be your woman, I must be able to go to the main hall and cook in the kitchen. She also said that if I can cook, you'll agree to let me be your woman. I wanna know if you're going to keep your word or not? "
Tan Xiu turned his head to glance at her and saw her nodding at him with a smile. Then, he slowly said, "I've eaten a lot of exotic delicacies, and ordinary dishes are simply hard to swallow in my eyes. If you can't cook, then just give up on this idea. "
Andy pretended to be angry. "You haven't eaten yet. How do you know my cooking isn't good?"
Tan Xiu stared blankly for a moment as he carefully sized her up a few times. He found that her eyes were erratic and had a guilty look on her face. Then, he said, "If your cooking is really good, then I'll consider it. But if your cooking is bad or just average, then listen to Kang Xia's arrangement and seize the time to go on a blind date and find a boyfriend."
Kang Xia interrupted and said, "Boss, if you don't kill Andy, she won't give up. You don't want to be pestered all the time, do you? "
Tan Xiu thought about it and felt that Kang Xia's words made sense. However, he was still a bit worried. He released his divine sense and quickly covered the dining room. He found that there were already four dishes on the dining table. What made him secretly amused was that the appearance of the four dishes was too horrible to look at. Especially the fish, the skin was black and clearly burnt.
"Andy, if I like your cooking, then I'll accept you. But if I'm not satisfied with your cooking, then we'll never talk about this matter again. It proves that we're not fated to be together, "Tan Xiu said seriously.
"This … alright!"
Andy turned around. Her somewhat pitiful expression suddenly turned into a smiling face like a blooming flower when Tan Xiu couldn't see it clearly. Even her footsteps were very light. After taking Tan Xiu and Kang Xia to the dining room, she personally scooped the boiled soup from the clay pot and served a bowl of rice to Tan Xiu and Kang Xia. Then, she sat opposite to the two and said, "Taste it and tell me your real feelings."
Kang Xia smiled and picked up the chopsticks. While picking up the food, she smilingly said, "I'm the witness, so I'll definitely tell you my real feelings."
After saying that …
She picked up a piece of Sour and Spicy Shredded Potato. After a while, an arc outlined on the corner of her mouth as she looked at Tan Xiu and said, "This potato … is pretty good."
Tan Xiu rolled his eyes and also picked up a piece of Sour and Spicy Shredded Potato with his chopsticks. When he put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times, his expression instantly froze.
"This taste … is good."
Even though Tan Xiu was accustomed to eating exotic delicacies, he still felt that this seemingly terrible Sour and Spicy Shredded Potato actually tasted really good.
After a while …
After swallowing the Sour and Spicy Shredded Potato, he calmly went to pick up other dishes.
Andy hurriedly asked, "How is it? How's the taste? "
"I just tasted it," Tan Xiu said, "I only tasted one dish, so I won't comment on it for the time being. After I've tasted it, I'll give a final evaluation. "
Andy and Kang Xia glanced at each other and then revealed a smile at the same time.
Subsequently …
Tan Xiu tasted the Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Steamed Egg Drop, and Sweet and Sour Carp. When he tasted the three dishes, his face nearly turned green.
"I've failed miserably in an easy task."
This was the most powerless groan Tan Xiu could mutter inwardly. He really couldn't understand Kang Xia now. Because of her rotten idea, he actually fell into this trap.
Each of these four dishes could be regarded as the best main dishes if they were to be served in star-rated hotels. Even if he had eaten a lot of good food, he still had to admit that Andy's cooking level was really very high.
Kang Xia put down her chopsticks and smilingly said, "I'll talk about my opinion first. I think Andy's dishes may look ordinary, but the taste is really great. Even some great chefs may not necessarily be better than Andy's dishes. "
Tan Xiu's mouth twitched twice. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Andy looked expectant as she looked at Tan Xiu and asked, "Boss, you haven't commented yet!"
Tan Xiu took a deep breath and helplessly asked, "Andy, have you really never cooked before?"
An innocent look appeared on Andy's face as she looked at Tang Xiu with her big watery eyes and said, "I did! I have a special-grade chef certificate. I've studied a lot of Chinese cuisine recipes and cooked a lot of delicious things. That's right, I used to be a chef in a Michelin 3-star restaurant. "
"I …"
Tang Xiu's jaw dropped. Andy's words made him choke back his words.
"Kang Xia!"
Tan Xiu took a deep breath and angrily shouted, "Are you deliberately teasing me? What the hell is going on in your head? Is it really fun to dig a trap for me to jump into? "
Kang Xia deliberately revealed an aggrieved expression and said, "You can't blame me, Boss! Andy knows the world-class fashion designer, Avril. She's also a very close friend of hers. She promised me that she would give me two sets of the latest clothes designed by Avril. "
"Fuck …"
Tan Xiu was dumbfounded. He never dreamed that he would be sold for two sets of clothes. * * *
Star City.
The Imperial Dragon Manor was a newly built villa complex in Star City's New City. The most spectacular building was the King of Scenic View, which was bought by the Long Group's Long Hanwen. If the best villa district in Star City was the South Gate Town in the past, then the most amazing villa district now was the Imperial Dragon Manor.
Villa No. 1.
Long Hanwen's car had just parked in the courtyard when he saw Vice Mayor Li Yuetao, the newly appointed Public Security Bureau Chief Jiang Fei, and the M Country's Harbo Group's General Manager in China, William, sitting in the pavilion and sipping tea. Around them were four burly men in suits who were indifferently guarding them.
"Mayor Li, Chief Jiang."
Long Hanwen walked over and greeted them.
Li Yuetao and Jiang Fei stood up, even William followed suit.
Li Yuetao said with a smile, "Chief Long is very busy. I hope Premier Long can forgive us for disturbing you so early! There's a lot of pressure coming from the top, so I have no other choice. "
Long Hanwen said with a cold face, "Vice Mayor Li, I know the purpose of your visit and what you want to say. Let's not talk about this matter. Also, I hope you can understand that I don't have much time to accompany you since the three of you know that I'm very busy. "
After saying that …
He then turned around and walked toward the villa.
A forced smile appeared on Li Yuetao's face. He exchanged glances with Jiang Fei and then chased after Long Hanwen alone. After walking side by side with Long Hanwen, he forced a smile and said, "Chief Long, this matter is indeed the Harbo Group's fault. I'm afraid I'd also be very angry if I were you. But it has happened and Cal Solund has been locked up by you for a day. Shouldn't the anger in your heart be appeased? This time, William has come personally with great sincerity. He wants to discuss a solution with you. "
"Discuss a solution?" Long Hanwen snorted angrily. "Are you kidding me? My son is still lying in the ICU of Star City Chinese Medical Hospital and his life and death are still unknown. Do you think I'll let this matter go so easily? This matter can be discussed if my son can recover. But if something bad happens to him, I'll make that Cal Solund pay for my son's life. "
"Chief Long, the Harbo Group is one of the top 50 companies in the world and has invested tens of billions of yuan in the southern part of our country." Li Yuetao sighed. "Cal Solund's father is a major shareholder of the Harbo Group. If we can't solve this matter well, the consequences will be very serious. It may even affect the Harbo Group's future investment in our country. Give me some face, and give our country some face. Let's forget about this matter. You can rest assured that the Harbo Group will definitely compensate you handsomely. "
Long Hanwen was silent for a while and then said, "Vice Mayor Li, you can go back first! I'll think about this matter. It's impossible for me to let him go now. "
"You …"
Li Yuetao was an official in the government, so how could he not understand the meaning behind Long Hanwen's words? The man simply didn't want to give him face. However, he wasn't angry because he understood Long Hanwen. After all, the man's most cherished son was beaten to a pulp. Given Long Hanwen's status, how could he let this matter go?
"This is troublesome!"
Li Yuetao forced a wry smile inwardly and finally said, "If so, then I'll wait for Chief Long's good news."
When Li Yuetao returned to the gazebo, he saw two pairs of eyes looking at him and helplessly forced a wry smile. "I'm afraid this matter won't be that easy to solve, William. Chief Long's son is still lying in the hospital and may die at any moment. Speaking of which, even if you're a foreign investor, even if Chief Long didn't personally send his men to detain Cal Solund, I'm afraid the Public Security Bureau will arrest him. So let's put this matter aside for now. Chief Long is now in a state of anger. Maybe his anger will disappear after his son's injury is healed. At that time, we can plead for leniency and solve this matter smoothly. "
