Eating food, drinking wine, and chatting are all the things at the dinner table.
But Sheng Jiaoyang didn't know that Zhao Qianjin had such a strong taste that most of the dishes on the table were on the spicy side, especially a big fish head with lots of red and yellow chili peppers on it, which made it spicy even just looking at it.
When she went to the bathroom to wash her hands and returned to the private room, she had already ordered the food.
When the food was served, the corners of her eyes twitched. The numbing and spicy taste from the last time she ate hot pot seemed to still linger on her taste buds, and she didn't dare to take off her chopsticks.
"Xiao Lei, didn't you grow up in Canada? Why do you eat so spicy food? People who don't know may think you are from Hunan and Sichuan." Mr. Shi looked at the table of dishes and said with a smile.
"My mother is from Hunan, and she has taken me to eat spicy food since I was a child. Uncle Shi, you also know that it is very cold in Canada, and eating spicy food can keep me warm." Zhao Lei said without stopping, and the fish head with chopped peppers was already She pinched half of it into the bowl.
"My daughter's taste is as strong as her mother's. If you are not used to it, you can order some lighter dishes." Mr. Zhao said.
"It's okay. The weather is getting colder now. Eat more spicy food to keep out the cold." Another Mr. Li said with a smile.
Zhao Lei suddenly added a piece of fish head meat with serving chopsticks and put it into the bowl of Sheng Jiaoyang. The two of them happened to be sitting next to each other, so it was very convenient to pick up the food.
"Ms. Xu, I saw you looked at this dish several times. Don't be embarrassed to pick it up. Try it quickly. This restaurant makes it quite authentic." Zhao Lei said.
Sheng Jiaoyang looked at the large piece of fish still stained with chili seeds in the bowl and felt that he was not feeling well.
Why does she feel that this scene seems familiar
A smile flashed in Zhao Lei's eyes. She could tell after the food was served that Xu Jiaojiao couldn't eat spicy food. "Come on, come on, this stir-fried spicy chicken is very delicious, try it." She directly took a spoonful and put the chicken and pepper into the other person's bowl.
"Xiao Lei, why are you so enthusiastic all of a sudden? You see, it scares Miss Xu." Mr. Zhao said.
"I haven't had any female friends since I returned to China. Didn't I feel friendly when I saw Miss Xu and wanted to make friends?" Zhao Lei said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, but you have to ask Miss Xu first if she likes spicy food." Mr. Zhao, who is obsessed with his daughter, has no principles at all in front of his daughter.
"Mr. Shen's face doesn't change even after eating pickled peppers. As Mr. Shen's girlfriend, Miss Xu must also be able to eat spicy food. Otherwise, how can we live together. Right, Miss Xu?" Zhao Lei raised the corners of her mouth, as if watching the fun. looked over.
Sheng Jiaoyang wanted to roll her eyes at Miss Zhao. Just as she was about to retort, a hand from beside her reached out and took away her bowl. She turned around and saw Shen Zhining removing the contents from her bowl. He poured all the spicy vegetables into his own bowl.
Everyone saw what he did.
Shen Zhining calmly washed the bowl with tea and put it back in front of Sheng Jiaoyang. Facing everyone's gaze, he said: "She has a commercial shoot tomorrow, so she shouldn't eat spicy food today."
How come I didn’t know I was going to be filming a commercial tomorrow? Sheng Jiaoyang opened her mouth, then thought about it and realized that Shen Zhining was trying to get rid of Zhao Lei for her. At this moment, she was very moved and decided not to pick carrots for Demon King Shen to eat in the future.
Huh? She said that Zhao Lei's behavior of picking up food for her just now seemed familiar. She had done this before...
"A commercial? Miss Xu is a star?" Mr. Shi asked in surprise.
Sheng Jiaoyang pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "I'm just an unknown little star."
"Our company's daily necessities are going to change spokespersons this year. Miss Xu can consider it." Mr. Shi said. Of course, he made the suggestion purely for Shen Zhining's sake. In his opinion, celebrities he didn't know could only be regarded as minors. star.
"Thank you. I still focus on studying at the moment." Sheng Jiaoyang indirectly refused.
"I understand, I understand." Mr. Shi glanced at Shen Zhining. With Jinshan as his back, why did he need to come out to accept advertisements and make money? This girl is still young, but she is quite smart.
"Come, come, it's fate to get together. Let's have a drink together." Mr. Zhao stood up holding his wine glass.
Zhao Lei pushed a wine glass in front of Sheng Jiaoyang, "Miss Xu, come and have a drink!"
Sheng Jiaoyang couldn't always refuse, and she was a person who liked wine and would not resist drinking. She picked up the wine glass gracefully and stood up, clinking glasses with everyone.
After one glass, Zhao Lei poured her another glass.
"Miss Xu, I'll toast you alone and leave your contact information later so we can come out and play together later!" Zhao Lei raised her cup and said with a smile. She was very curious about how this person defeated Mr. Shen.
"It is indeed a pleasure to meet the beautiful and generous Miss Zhao today, and I respect you too." Sheng Jiaoyang raised his glass and clinked it with Zhao Lei.
Seeing her being so frank, Zhao Lei's impression of her changed greatly, "Don't go here, miss. It sounds awkward, so just call me Xiaolei, and I will just call you Jiaojiao."
"Okay." Seeing that Zhao Lei was about to pour her another drink, Sheng Jiaoyang hurriedly covered the mouth of the wine glass with his hand and said, "I don't drink well. I feel a little dizzy now. If I drink more, I will be really drunk." As he spoke, in order to show that he was tipsy, he half-closed his eyes and shook his head, like a drunk person.
"What are you afraid of? Isn't Mr. Shen still here? Besides, you are in the entertainment industry now. Will there be less drinking parties in the future? You have to start practicing your drinking ability from now on." Zhao Lei had no room for her to refuse. , took her hand away and filled another glass.
Anyone who has ever been to a wine table knows that some people are completely overpowering when trying to persuade someone to drink. Because they also care about the other person's face and not be too disgraced, so they do the right thing when others are kind.
Sheng Jiaoyang knew this well. She drank half of the cup slowly and then propped her head up, looking like she was no longer clear-headed.
"Really drunk?" Zhao Lei didn't believe that she got drunk so fast. She drank so happily just now, and thought she had a good drinker!
"It seems that Miss Xu doesn't drink much. She probably drank too much just now and got drunk," Mr. Shi said.
Shen Zhining put down his chopsticks, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, "I'm afraid she'll catch a cold, so I'll take her back to rest first. Please use it slowly."
"Okay, let's meet up next time when we have time."
Shen Zhining nodded. He helped Sheng Jiaoyang get up and walk out of the private room. As he walked, he took out his mobile phone and called the driver to pick him up at the door.
"Stop!" A person caught up from behind and blocked the front, "Where are you taking her?"
Shen Zhining looked at the young man in front of him calmly, "What does it have to do with you?"
"She is my girlfriend, it's none of my business whether you say it or not!" the young man said arrogantly with his hands folded across his chest.
Shen Zhining didn't have any reaction yet, but the man pretending to be drunk couldn't stand it anymore.
Sheng Jiaoyang opened his eyes and kicked Yuan Neng's knee, "Get out of here!" He pulled Shen Zhining around Yuan Neng and walked away gracefully.
Yuan Neng hugged his knees and leaned against the wall, grinning.
