Michel's Restaurant is famous throughout New York's high society. Their steaks are flown in on the same day. Expensive food including tableware, red wine, caviar, lobster and other items have also been carefully selected one by one.
Therefore, eating at Michel's restaurant can not only satisfy your appetite, but it is also a symbol of status and a display of wealth.
Because Michelle's restaurant is only serving Xiao Zheng and Sophia tonight, no matter what Xiao Zheng wants to eat, it will be cooked as quickly as possible and then served.
Sofia doesn't have a big appetite, but she is very particular about what she eats. Every time a dish was served, it was on a huge plate, but the dishes on the plate were very rare. According to Xiao Zheng's appetite, he would eat it all in one spoonful. But Sophia was able to eat slowly while waiting for the next dish to come. As elegant as royalty, it is pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Zheng looked at the extremely beautiful Sophia during the meal. It was hard to imagine that she was the vicious woman who killed the world-famous Jones and pushed herself into the abyss again and again. At a certain moment, Xiao Zheng felt that Sophia was absolutely stunning, as beautiful as a fairy.
Sophia noticed Xiao Zheng's gaze, slowly put down her knife and fork, and asked with a subtle look: "What are you looking at?"
"It depends on you." Xiao Zheng answered honestly.
Sophia smiled slightly when she heard this. She changed her cunning and mysterious attitude and smiled: "Does it look good?"
"It looks good." Xiao Zheng nodded.
Sofia smiled slightly, pursed her lips and said, "If you don't eat, the food on your plate will get cold."
Xiao Zheng casually forked a piece of steak, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it hungrily, saying vaguely: "Before, at the Lin family, you acted like a tomboy when you ate. Why have you become such a lady now?"
He can control both ladies and men so skillfully, and there is no trace of artificiality at all. This is what Xiao Zheng is most curious about. Only a woman who has truly been a man and a lady can switch smoothly between the two.
Hearing this, Sophia's lips curled up with a trace of nostalgia, and she said, "After I was ten years old, every winter and summer vacation, my father would send me to the royal family to study etiquette. I didn't graduate until I was eighteen."
"Aren't you very tired?" Xiao Zheng said in surprise.
Xiao Zheng has no parents, and has never been a parent, so it is difficult for him to understand that there are parents who educate their children in this way. According to his thinking, as long as the child's three views are positive and not a treacherous villain, he will basically not interfere too much in the child's growth. Just let nature take its course.
"Tired?" Sophia asked. "Why do you think so?"
"You are not a member of the royal family, but you have to learn the etiquette of the royal family. Don't you feel tired?" Xiao Zheng asked.
Sophia smiled slightly and said: "Among all the women you come into contact with, who would behave too rough and unfeminine in front of you? No matter if she is a rich girl or an ordinary girl."
Xiao Zheng was taken aback for a moment, smiled and shook his head: "Indeed. Every woman will show a gentle side to a certain extent."
"Men are the same." Sofia smiled. "Etiquette is what every human being will actively pursue. No matter what position he is in, or what status he has, no matter how high or low he is, etiquette is a beautiful thing. No one will actively refuse it. Unless he wants to attract attention, Or it might break the jar."
"So you like it?" Xiao Zheng asked. "For you, learning royal etiquette is not tiring, but also a kind of enjoyment?"
"If my father hadn't died in the hands of Jones three years ago, you would be able to see me now. Not the me who scares you." Sophia said word by word.
Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and finally stopped using cruel language to evaluate Sophia, and said slowly: "Everything in the world is impermanent, and life will never follow the established track before it dies."
"Are you trying to comfort me?" Sophia asked.
Xiao Zheng was silent for a long time, nodded and said: "Forget it."
"Three years ago, I might have gladly accepted your comfort." Sophia smiled. "But now, I have a deep understanding that comfort is, to a certain extent, just a perfunctory and meaningless thing. It has no effect at all."
Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "If I had to choose, I prefer your gentle side."
"Then you protect me?" Sophia asked bluntly. "Who wants to scheming if they can live in a harmless environment?"
Sophia. This is true for everyone living in this society. Including Xiao Zheng.
During his years overseas, he had to master all the habits of his targets, analyze their behaviors, and understand their personalities. Only after the target is fully grasped can the assassination operation be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
At ENN, after entering the overseas department, he had to understand his employees and analyze their psychology in order to work and manage more effectively.
These are all intrigues and painstaking living conditions.
Want to live a life as heartless as in the security department? But the vast majority of people in society would probably not accept such a life with no fighting spirit and no future, right
Therefore, as long as you want to live a better life, you must face greater challenges and inspire your most sinister but sharp side to complete the transformation of your life.
For Sophia, showing her sharp side is not only a better life, but also a means to save her life. Otherwise, she will follow her father's path and become another ghost under Jones's fangs.
She likes and longs for an elegant life, but reality cruelly shatters her life, forcing her to embark on the path of becoming strong step by step. It might be scary, but it would make her life better.
"The steak is really delicious." Xiao Zheng spoke highly of it and took another sip of red wine. "The red wine is also mellow and fragrant. Unlike the red wine I drank in China, most of which were watered down or simply fake."
"If you like it, I will airlift it to you regularly after you return to China." Sophia smiled.
"Isn't this cost too much?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
"I'm not short of money." Sophia said calmly.
Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, lit a cigarette and said, "What's the situation over there at Hunting Fox now?"
"The darkness before dawn." Sophia said concisely.
"Will you still encourage them to kill me?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"They don't have any extra energy to pay attention to you." Sophia smiled. "The new leader will be born next month at the latest. They are making their final efforts."
"It sounds very hurtful to one's self-esteem." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "But it's good news."
"So, is it worth a drink?" Sophia picked up the wine glass.
"Of course." Xiao Zheng raised his wine glass and greeted him with a smile.
The two drank it all in one gulp, and Sophia showed a sly look on her face and said meaningfully: "Congratulations on your successful detoxification."
