"Why don't you say anything? Did I guess it?" Lu Jin became even more nervous, his tone slightly irritable and mixed with anger.
It seemed that as long as Gu Nianzhi nodded, he would tear those who didn't care about her into pieces...
Gu Nianzhi felt a little uncomfortable.
This kind of care without impurities made her feel warm and comforting, but it was a bit strange that such strong concern came from a stranger she had just met.
When she was growing up, Huo Shaoheng always reminded her that there is no such thing as a free lunch and there will be no pie in the sky.
You need to work hard to get what you want.
What comes to your hands in vain is either poison wrapped in honey or a scam with bait thrown out.
Her heart was rolling with the "clear rules and commandments" that Huo Shaoheng had set for her, but she still didn't show anything on her face. She smiled and shook her head, "Of course not, I'm just easier to be moved."
Lu Jin looked at her silently, with a stubborn expression that said, "You continue to make it up, if I believe you, I will lose."
Gu Nianzhi had a headache. How was she going to convince this person
After thinking for a moment, she half-confessed, half-confidently, and whispered: "Mr. Lu, there are actually many people who care about me. Really, they are very good to me. I can basically get whatever I want..."
As long as you pay the same price.
Of course, she didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Lu Jin looked at her suspiciously, "Really? But I think you spoke hesitantly and reluctantly, and you seemed to be hiding half a sentence."
Gu Nianzhi involuntarily pursed her lips, worried that she might accidentally say what she had in her heart.
This man is also too perceptive. Although he doesn't speak well, his insight is really first-rate.
Gu Nianzhi was annoyed and rolled his eyes. He looked up and saw the waiter coming over with a menu, and said hurriedly: "Oh, I'm starving. Let's see what delicious food is available here."
Gu Nianzhi said that she was hungry, and Lu Jin's thoughts were immediately taken astray, and he quickly said, "Hurry up and order, don't you want to eat seafood? Let's see what signature seafood dishes they have here."
Long Jingxuan is the only Chinese restaurant with three Michelin stars in H City, and it does have its own very delicious signature dishes.
Before they ordered, the wait staff brought appetizers, which were free and served to every table.
Gu Nianzhi looked at it and licked his lips with his tongue.
As expected, it is a high-end restaurant, and the appetizer served is pickled cucumber and abalone.
A delicious abalone is placed on a few green cucumber slices. Just looking at the color scheme will make your appetite whet your appetite and your index fingers will move.
Gu Nianzhi took a bite of the abalone, and then without hesitation ordered the abalone and chicken crispy platter, dragon belt jade pear fragrant, fried lobster balls, French duck liver stuffed crab and parsley mixed sprouts and green melon dumplings. For the main course, he ordered Long Jingxuan's signature dish. The lobster fried rice was served, and the dessert was poplar nectar.
After ordering, she looked at Lu Jian sheepishly and said, "Did I order too much?"
Lu Jin shook his head seriously and said, "I have calculated the portions of the dishes here. What you ordered is only enough to fill you up."
"Ah?" Gu Nianzhi raised his eyebrows, "Have you ever eaten here?"
"No." Lu Jin shook his head honestly, "I calculated it through their menu and the calories of each dish on their menu."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
The waiter next to him almost had circles in his eyes.
In all the years he has worked here, this is probably the first time he has seen someone calculate the portion size of each dish on their menu based on the calories...
"... Then, do you want to order more?" Gu Nianzhi looked at the price of each dish and secretly drummed in his heart.
Hopefully she brought enough money for a meal.
It's just too expensive.
Lu Jian flipped through the menu and ordered it in a flash: "Let's have six gold foil seafood dumplings. The menu says they contain fish maw, ginseng and mushrooms from Japan. Japan has had serious nuclear leaks in the past two years, and the food raw materials from there are all the same. It can’t be served to our table. If I measure it, I will sue your restaurant for indulging in human life.”
The waiter's legs began to feel weak and he wanted to kneel down.
Gu Nianzhi listened with great interest and nodded repeatedly: "It's true, we don't need mushrooms from Japan. The mushrooms from Yunnan and Guizhou in our country are very good."
Then he told the waiter: "You have to remember, if you don't explain it clearly to the chef, we won't comply."
The waiter nodded repeatedly, "I remember, I remember."
That is, all food raw materials from Japan cannot be used in the dishes ordered by this table of guests.
Lu Jin continued to order: "I want two organic Australian black and white onion lobster balls, three cages of emerald scallop dumplings, and an appetizer platter with barbecued pork, roast duck, roast suckling pig and jellyfish skin."
He explained to Gu Nianzhi: "The dishes on this platter are actually unhealthy and have too high fat content, but because the portion is very small, I'll order one for you to try. The roasted suckling pig here is unique and worth trying."
Gu Nianzhi's mouth was about to drool, and his eyes sparkled with the light of a gluttonous eater seeing delicious food, "Okay, okay, I like to try delicious food from all over the world."
Lu Jin looked at the menu again and said, "Four servings of lobster fried rice and two servings of each of the dishes she ordered before. That's enough."
Gu Nianzhi silently calculated the bill.
This meal cost about 5,000 yuan, which was almost enough for her monthly salary.
Just as he was wondering if he still had money to go shopping and buy some souvenirs, Lu Jin handed the menu back to the waiter and said, "This order is signed under the name of Lu Group."
The waiter's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Are you a senior executive of the Lu Group?"
Those with the power to sign orders are senior executives.
Lu Jin took out his business card and said, "I have the right to sign."
Gu Nianzhi suddenly blushed and said hurriedly: "I'll treat you to this meal! Don't do this, it's not good for others to know..."
This is public money to eat and drink...
If Huo Shaoheng found out, her legs would probably be broken.
The waiter ignored Nian Zhi and walked away happily with Lu Jin's business card.
Lu Jin frowned and looked at Gu Nianzhi: "What's wrong? As a shareholder of Lu Group, I can't even sign a bill?"
Gu Nianzhi began to reason: "Mr. Lu, please don't be like this. We agreed that I would order these dishes because I was the treat. If it was you, I wouldn't order the same way. Besides, we have already agreed, how could you go back on your word?" What do you mean?"
In fact, if Lu Jin took the initiative to invite her to dinner, she would definitely not come.
Lu Jin felt that it made sense, and said regretfully: "Then you'll treat me to this meal, and I'll treat you to the next meal."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
She decided not to dwell on the issue.
After this meal, she can take care of it for three days.
Be it the appetite or the wallet.
After smiling at Lu Jin, Gu Nianzhi said nothing more.
The two of them made up their minds and began to enjoy the food quietly.
The waiters brought the dishes over one after another.
Only then did Gu Nianzhi discover that the so-called "dragon belt jade pear fragrance" was actually a combination of shrimp and pear.
The shrimp meat is delicious, and the pear meat is sweet and delicious. They are wrapped together with a little bit of starch powder and steamed to eat. Both foods retain their natural taste, and the aftertaste is endless when mixed together.
She ate the delicacies in small bites, sitting upright, chewing carefully while eating, never showing her teeth, and of course not chirping.
Her demeanor is dignified and elegant. One look at the way she eats, and one can tell that she has a very good upbringing and must have a good background.
Canglin knows etiquette in a practical way, and it is also said that for wealthy people, it takes three generations for them to know how to eat and how to dress.
And the way Gu Nianzhi looked while eating could make people believe that she was a noble lady from a famous family.
At this moment, no one thought she was an orphan whose parents had died.
Lu Jian didn't know what he was eating, and his attention was entirely on Gu Nianzhi.
Seeing her demeanor while eating, he nodded inwardly, finally believing what Gu Nianzhi said.
There should still be someone who cares about her.
Because what kind of life you live will determine what kind of person you will grow into.
No matter how hard a person hides his hatred, he can't hide the vicissitudes of life in his eyes and the tension in his posture.
They wished they could turn themselves into swords of revenge at all times, and their whole bodies were tense.
Gu Nianzhi's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, as well as her elegant behavior, especially her clear and moving eyes, and her witty and playful conversation, are enough to make people believe that she is indeed living a good life.
Lu Jian just watched her eating like this, and the more he watched, the happier he became, as if he was drunk after drinking a bottle of 1982 Moutai.
The two of them didn't speak much and ate most of the dishes in one go before they looked at each other and started chatting.
Gu Nianzhi raised the mango juice in his hand and said to Lu Jin with a smile: "The portions of these dishes are really too small. I can eat a whole plate in two bites."
She pointed to the abalone and chicken cake in front of her.
On the huge plate, there were three abalone and chicken cakes alone. Gu Nianzhi finished off all the abalone and chicken cakes in just three strokes.
Needless to say, the abalone is delicious. The outer puff pastry is more crispy and tender, and the filling inside is fresh but not fishy.
She wanted to swallow all her tongue.
After eating three of them, Gu Nian glanced at Lu Jian with unfinished thoughts.
Lu Jin actually understood the look in her eyes, shook his head and said, "You can't order this anymore. Although it is delicious, it is very high in calories and cholesterol, and the purine level is ridiculously high. Eating too much is bad for the body." not good."
Gu Nianzhi licked his lips and nodded obediently, "Okay, then I won't eat it. I'll try this dessert."
The fragrant mango and poplar nectar can be regarded as the signature of Longjingxuan Desserts. After taking a bite, Gu Nianzhi was not interested in the overly sweet taste.
Seeing that she didn't eat much, Lu Jian didn't urge her. He nodded, "You should also eat less desserts and more organic fruits. It's no worse than this dessert."
After the meal, Gu Nianzhi was "popularized" by Lu Jin with a lot of knowledge about food safety and health. He was not only satisfied with material (food), but also with spiritual (knowledge).
After eating this meal until three in the afternoon, Gu Nianzhi couldn't hold it anymore.
He handed his card to the waiter to settle the bill and agreed that it would not be linked to the Lu Group's account.
The waiter reluctantly agreed and took her card in exchange for Lu Jian's business card.
Gu Nianzhi didn't even look at the bill and stuffed it into his wallet, fearing that he would vomit blood after reading it...
With a smile still on her face, she said to Lu Jin: "Mr. Lu, I really can't eat anymore tonight. If there is a chance in the future, can we choose a restaurant to have a good meal?"
Seeing that she had indeed eaten a lot, Lu Jin was no longer in a hurry and said, "Okay, don't lie down to sleep immediately when you go back. You can walk around for five more minutes before resting."
He rambled on and explained a lot of things that should be paid attention to after the meal. Gu Nianzhi did not mind his nagging and listened very carefully. He walked all the way back to his room and opened the door with the key card before saying to him: "Thank you, Mr. Lu. I had a great time eating today."
Lu Jin hadn't said so many words in one breath for a long time. It was rare for an obedient person to not only not hate him, but also listen attentively, not to deal with him.
He was so happy that he almost hummed all the way back to his room.
Lu Yuan and Zhao Liangze happened to be discussing important matters in the back room. When they heard Lu Jin coming in, they both fell silent.
After a while, Zhao Liangze wondered: "Mr. Lu, your brother can still sing?!"
Lu Yuan said: "!!!"
…
The next night was the Lu Group's grand celebration banquet.
Gu Nianzhi changed into a regular black dress and only wore a necklace of natural seawater wild pearls.
The pearls were full of grains, each one as big as a little finger. What was rare was that each pearl was almost exactly the same size, with a lustrous pearl that complemented her delicate and white skin.
Entering the beautifully decorated banquet hall, Gu Nianzhi found Xiao Zhang who was eating the buffet on a plate and said with a smile, "Aren't you a star chaser? Where are those stars?"
Xiao Zhang went shopping during the day and didn't eat all day, so he was waiting for the buffet at the celebration banquet to fill his stomach.
Although chasing stars is important, having a full stomach is even more important.
Xiao Zhang chewed the fragrant lobster fried rice and said inarticulately: "... It seems over there, I just saw a few celebrities surrounding Miss Xie."
Gu Nianzhi asked nervously: "Miss Xie? Which Miss Xie?"
"That's Prime Minister Xie's niece Xie Qingying." Xiao Zhang looked around and found traces of Xie Qingying and pointed over, "Here, it's over there."
