Chapter 27: Zhou Wang’s Gift (2-in-1)
Chapter 27: Zhou Wang’s Gift (2-in-1)
"Brother Dog, have you ever heard of 'a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix'?"
Zhou Wang couldn't help but be a little surprised when he looked at the message from Li Sheng on his phone and the "mysterious smile" on his face.
He looked at Chef Luo who was busy and wanted to ask, how did you know that I was preparing to eat this?
But before Zhou Wang could reply, Li Sheng's message was sent again.
"I'm sorry, I have to take back the pretense I just put on. It seems that 'Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix' is no longer possible...the atmosphere in the private room is also weird!"
"What the hell?"
Zhou Wang asked inexplicably.
"Brother Dog, you don't know something. Originally..."
Li Sheng probably told him the cause and effect. Zhou Wang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up at Luo Wenle, who was helping him carefully cook the next dish.
So it has something to do with me?
Zhou Wang estimated that there must be some mistake here.
Click!
So Zhou Wang took a photo of Chef Zhang Luo cooking and sent it to Li Sheng, who was bragging about Chef Luo.
"So, are you talking about this 'Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix' and this Chef Luo?"
Zhou Wang didn't want to show off to others, and he didn't mind showing off in front of his close roommates. However, after replying to Li Sheng's message, real problems still needed to be solved.
Although the two of them are now strangers, Zhou Wang still remembers her encouragement to him.
In Zhou Wang's memory at that time, Ding Yi was indeed a good girl. It was no one's fault that the two of them failed to get together. Speaking of which, he had never given Ding Yi any decent gift, but today was a little opportunity.
"Huh, I didn't expect to meet Ding Yi again so soon..."
Zhou Wang smiled with emotion, then raised his head and said to Luo Wenle: "Chef Luo, can you do me a favor?"
"Of course it's no problem, please tell me, Mr. Zhou."
...
In the Shanhe Hall.
"Damn it, Zhou Wang, where did you find this picture? It looks like that!"
Li Sheng glanced at the photo sent by Zhou Wang and couldn't help but click his tongue.
"What picture?"
Yu Peipei on the side heard Li Sheng's exclamation and looked over curiously.
"Hey, the background of this photo looks quite similar to our private room!"
Yu Peipei discovered the blind spot.
"What photo?"
Fang Lu, who was waiting for the food to be served, also came over. After taking a look, she couldn't help but be surprised: "This is Chef Luo Wenle. I just searched for his photos..."
"What?"
Li Sheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then Brother Dog's pretense is quite real. People who don't know may really be fooled."
Lu Jin, who was drinking alone at the side, heard them discussing Zhou Wang, and the corners of his mouth trembled involuntarily, remembering the scene just now.
His expression became even more gloomy.
Even though no one else knew, Lu Jin thought about it at this moment, and he had a vague feeling that what he heard was most likely true...
Although he himself had never stayed in a high-end suite at the Wanda Hotel, the waitress who followed Zhou Wang was dressed a bit like a private manager of a hotel room.
If his guess is true, then everything makes sense...
Although Lu Jin was still a little embarrassed when he thought about it, at least no one else knew about it, so it was over.
But the strange looks from those at the main table were actually what made Lu Jin uncomfortable the most.
As the host, Ding Yi almost never sat down. On the surface, she seemed to be laughing with everyone, but everyone knew that she was trying hard to maintain the atmosphere so that it would not be awkward.
The seating arrangement at this time was also very interesting. Jiang Mo and Lu Jin both sat at the outer tables. The former felt more comfortable here, while the latter simply couldn't stand the atmosphere at the main table.
After all, those at the main table laughed and teased Lu Jin and could only continue, but Ding Yi and his classmates didn't have to take them seriously. No one had the guts to say anything to him.
"Hurry up!"
The private room door opened, and Liu Zhiming, who was sweating profusely from work, called to the waiter to bring in a few more dishes.
Seeing the other party, Lu Jin, who was getting more and more angry, seemed to have found an outlet.
"Manager Liu, why are you so slow today? How long has it been? There are only a few dishes. Didn't I tell you to make our dishes first?"
Lu Jin put down the wine glass and asked unceremoniously.
"Uh... Mr. Lu, the kitchen is really busy. Don't worry, I've been urging you to eat. Eat first!"
Liu Zhiming smiled apologetically while cursing in his heart.
Is this still slow?
Only a few minutes!
He didn't know what Lu Jin was going through, but he just felt that Lu Jin was more silly than usual today.
After Liu Zhiming went out, the main table was fine, but the atmosphere at the outer tables turned cold because of Lu Jin's venting.
Lu Jin, who still felt unhappy, frowned when he saw that Li Sheng and others were silent, and picked up the wine dispenser to greet everyone at the table.
"Come and have a drink together, why don't you drink? I'll pour it for you!"
"They're not very good at drinking, and I'm not very good at white wine either. I'll accompany you with red wine."
None of the girls responded. Only Li Sheng, who was sitting next to him, raised his glass politely.
"No, no real man drinks red wine?"
Lu Jin couldn't help but pour wine for Li Sheng, "Brother, this is Maotai in the Year of the Rabbit. You probably don't have the chance to drink it normally, so give it a try!"
Li Sheng's face changed slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "I don't have a good drinking ability, so I really can't drink liquor."
"No one is afraid of getting drunk when drinking. I've already talked about this, and you still don't give me face?"
Lu Jin's face darkened.
"Isn't face given to each other? You are mocking others for not being men."
Before Li Sheng said anything, someone had already muttered something. The sound was neither loud nor quiet, but just enough for Lu Jin to hear.
Lu Jin frowned and raised his head, it was the girl named Fang Lu.
Originally, if it was just Fang Lu's dissatisfaction, Lu Jin would not pay attention to her at all, but at this moment, Miao Xiaoling next to Fang Lu also muttered:
"It's so respectable. Didn't you also invite Chef Luo here?"
Miao Xiaoling couldn't bear Lu Jin's pressure on Li Sheng, so she said it without thinking.
But this sentence undoubtedly stung Lu Jin's embarrassment, and his expression suddenly changed.
"What did you say!"
"You heard me."
Miao Xiaoling felt a little guilty, but she still said something. Bang!
Lu Jin, who had been suppressing himself because of the ridicule from Xiao He and the others, as well as a series of unsatisfactory events today, could no longer control his emotions under the influence of alcohol and smashed the wine glass at the station. got up.
This immediately silenced the private room, and the people at the head table also looked over in surprise.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Lu Jin did not restrain himself. He was not a good-tempered person to begin with, he just kept pretending to be himself in front of Ding Yi.
With his family background, he generally doesn't need to wrong himself.
Anyway, he knew that Ding Yi's impression of him had deteriorated, so why should he worry about it?
"Smelly Sanba, try saying it again if you dare!"
Lu Jin sneered, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to afford five-star meals in your life, right?"
"you..."
Miao Xiaoling's eyes suddenly turned red when she looked at Lu Jin, who looked a little ferocious as if he was about to hit someone.
"You are stupid, why are you yelling at a girl?"
"Fuck, you want to fight, right?"
Li Sheng and the other boy at the table stood up angrily.
"Lu Jin, what are you doing!"
At this time, Ding Yi walked over quickly, looked at Lu Jin coldly, and said word by word, "Apologise to Miao Xiaoling immediately!"
"Why?"
Lu Jin also broke the pot at this time. He said with disdain: "Am I wrong? If these poor guys hadn't benefited from me, they would have had the opportunity to sit here and drink in the Year of the Rabbit in this life. Maotai?"
Ding Yi stared at Lu Jin blankly, unable to react at all, as if he didn't expect that a person who usually acted gentle and elegant would actually have such a side.
"Lu Jin, you drank too much, stop saying a few words!"
The people at the head table also came over at this time, and the young man named Zhang frowned and stared at Lu Jin.
"I don't have much, I am extremely sober now!"
However, Lu Jin didn't seem to see the steps he handed over at all. Instead, he looked at Ding Yi with a smile, "I have done so many things for you, but I haven't even held your hand yet. Isn't it because I didn't invite you?" Chef Lai Luo, do you have a problem with me just because of this?"
"How ridiculous!"
"Lu Jin, how can you say that? Which of your eyes saw that Ding Yi had a problem with you?"
Xiao He said angrily, "Yi Yi is such a kind person, do you know that she was still trying to persuade us just now, saying that there is nothing you can do about Chef Luo if something happens at the moment, and she also asked us not to say bad things to you again..."
"Forget it, Xiaohe, stop talking."
Ding Yi sniffed and pulled Xiao He. She turned around and smiled reluctantly at everyone, "Everyone, why don't we just go sing and forget about this meal. I'll order barbecue for everyone in the KTV. Let's just make do with it..."
"Say, keep talking, why don't you let her talk?"
Maybe it was because he saw Ding Yi ignoring him again that Lu Jin blushed even more. For some reason, he just wanted to see Ding Yi break his guard.
"Xiao He, you said Ding Yi is kind? Haha, indeed, she loves to pretend to be optimistic and kind, as if she is really an ignorant and energetic girl. When others are hooked, she will say "I don't want to fall in love now"... "
Lu Jin sneered and suddenly looked at Li Sheng standing aside, "By the way, I just heard you talking about Zhou Wang, Ding Yi, that's your Bai Yueguang, right? It's the real reason why you keep rejecting me, right?"
"Hahaha, have you ever thought about what if someone never likes you?"
"Let me tell you clearly, this kid has been pretending to be poor to you. He is deliberately alienating you!"
"I met him just now. Guess what he looks like in this hotel?"
"Wearing Louis Vuitton's new model, he is followed by a personal butler from the main suite. Chef Luo, who I couldn't even invite, is serving him personally. He is in the private room next door. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself..."
Lu Jin's words shocked everyone.
"Zhou Wang?"
"Did he just say Zhou Wang? Is Zhou Wang here too..."
Fang Lu and other classmates were very surprised.
Ding Yi, on the other hand, was stunned on the spot, "You said Zhou Wang...is next door?"
"Yes, he doesn't even want to come to see you... Tsk, maybe he did it on purpose. He knew today was your birthday and used this method to humiliate you. Now you know the real reason why Chef Luo doesn't want to come. Come on, hahaha!"
Lu Jin laughed freely. Although he said this deliberately, he actually felt that there was nothing wrong with his logic. Maybe this was the truth...
Ding Yi's face paled visibly, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.
"Wori..."
At this time, Li Sheng, after a moment of silence, quickly took out his mobile phone, looked at a photo again and fell into even greater sluggishness.
Yu Peipei on the side also reacted, and she hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Ding..."
But she had just called Ding Yi's name. At this moment, the private room door was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man in chef's uniform walked in with two waiters pushing a dining cart with a smile on his face.
When they saw the other party's appearance, most people recognized him instantly.
Isn't this the hotel's executive chef, the famous chef Luo Wenle?
Lu Jin, who was scolding so freely, couldn't help but stop suddenly. At this moment, his first thought was, had he guessed wrong and Manager Liu had invited the other party here again?
Then wouldn't the venting just now be self-defeating?
Just when Lu Jin's face changed several times and he was wondering if he could take the opportunity to make amends, Luo Wenle walked in. Although he didn't understand why everyone was staring at him with strange eyes, he still asked with a smile:
"Excuse me, who is Miss Ding Yi?"
"I am..."
Ding took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his mood, and walked up.
"Hello, Ms. Ding, let me introduce myself first. I am Luo Wenle, the executive chef of the hotel. First of all, I want to apologize to you. Due to some unexpected reasons, I was not able to prepare a birthday dinner for you as planned. Although I had prepared it in advance. Not aware of it."
"No, no, Chef Luo, you are too polite..."
Although there were still some doubts, the upbringing in his bones still made Ding Yi speak quickly.
"You don't mind, but I don't know if it's still too late for me to make up for it temporarily?"
Luo Wenle smiled and asked the waiter behind him to push the dining cart over, "These are the dishes I just made. If you don't mind, you can eat them first, and I will prepare the subsequent dishes."
Seeing the six obviously extraordinary dishes in the dining car, everyone still swallowed subconsciously, even if they had already eaten some dishes to satisfy their stomachs. And when they heard that Luo Wenle would continue to cook, everyone was even more surprised.
"Is this... going to be too much trouble for you?"
After a sudden turn of events, Ding Yi also showed a smile. In this case, her guilt towards everyone would be minimized.
"It's actually a bit troublesome to say it, because strictly speaking, I'm already off work at this time."
Luo Wenle made a joke first, and then said: "Of course, since Mr. Zhou asked me for help so solemnly, I will naturally not refuse."
"Mr. Zhou?"
Thinking of hearing Zhou Wang's name just now, Ding Dun suddenly realized something.
"Yes, Mr. Zhou... I think you should know each other. In addition, Mr. Zhou has also prepared a gift for you, Miss Ding. It is in the private room next door. You can go and check it out at your convenience."
