Chapter 11 Spicy my ass!

"Is she a pretty lady?"

Gao Yanshu kicked the glib-tongued man in the shin, "Get lost, go over there and grill some oyster skewers, and make sure they're extra spicy."

"Bro, how spicy do you want it? Mild, medium, or spicy?" The boy who had been kicked grinned and approached him.

"Spicy my ass!" Gao Yanshu laughed and cursed. "It's my sister, medium spicy."

"Wow! My boss, Gao, is coming! You should have told me sooner!" The grinning guy was Gao Yanshu's childhood friend. Hearing him mention "sister," he quickly understood. "I'll go order from next door right now. Oh, and what about the drinks? Should I have someone order some more?"

"No need to order too much, we still have so much left over." Gao Yanshu picked up a red willow mutton skewer and took a bite. "We'll talk about the wine when my sister arrives."

"Okay." The boy grinned and ran next door to place his order while wearing a flip-flop.

The pink-haired boy was getting anxious as the red lion dance was about to reach him. "I'll go buy some red envelopes. Do you guys have any cash?"

Xianghai City is located in Guangdong Province, and business people here like to wish for good fortune.

Even if there's no lion to bring good luck, there's still a red envelope to give.

"I don't have one." Gao Yanshu patted his pocket and pulled out only a Z-Zippo lighter.

The two boys sitting next to him also shook their heads.

They were all invited to drink; they had no idea they had to prepare red envelopes in advance.

The pink-haired boy reluctantly stood up, wearing thick Crocs. "Fine, I'll do it all at once."

Gao Yanshu picked up his glass and took a sip of ice-cold beer. "It's so late, where are you going to get something?"

"A convenience store, I guess." The pink-haired boy adjusted the silver jewelry on his wrist.

...

When Gao Yinxi arrived, the red lion dancing with its jingling sounds had not yet left the "fake moon" stage. Red silk hung high at the entrance, and firecracker debris was spread out on the ground like cinnabar. The sandalwood and the smoky aroma of whiskey were mixed together, creating a wonderful flavor.

"Mr. Gao, why aren't you going in?" The young man who had been sent by Gao Yanshu to buy barbecue next door stepped out of his neighbor's doorstep with a plate of grilled oysters in his hand, and saw Gao Yinxi, who was a sight to behold, standing outside the bar in a red dress.

"Xiao Liang." Gao Yinxi turned around, first glancing at the barbecue he was holding, then looking at the young man's honest face, "Did Yanshu come with you?"

“Yes, sis.” The young man was completely captivated by Gao Yinxi’s smile and eagerly moved closer to her. “Please come in with me.”

Booth seating area.

Gao Yanshu was scolding the pink-haired boy, "You've already changed your hair, would it kill you to exchange it for more cash?"

You mean brat!

I went out and tried to get some red envelopes, but each one only contained a paltry ten-yuan note.

Ten yuan!

Damn it, other people are comfortable giving gifts, but he's too embarrassed to give one.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" The young man carrying the oysters came out to smooth things over.

As soon as he shouted, the people present saw Gao Yinxi behind him.

Gao Yanshu's expression changed instantly. He waved and smiled at Gao Yinxi, "Sister, come and sit down."

He nudged the boy next to him, who wisely stood up and offered his seat to the radiant Gao Yinxi, saying, "Beautiful lady, sit here."

Gao Yinxi sat down next to Gao Yanshu.

She came out late, so she changed into a dress, put on lipstick, and didn't even take her bag.

Right now, he has a cell phone and a set of car keys in his hand.

The pink-haired boy's eyes lit up when he saw the angry bull on the car keys. "Hello, sister."

His voice was exceptionally loud, and he was very attentive. Before the others could react, he had already picked up a glass and filled Gao Yinxi's glass with the craft beer they were drinking.

"Thank you." Gao Yinxi reached out and took it, placing it beside her.

Xiao Liang walked over, shoved the pink-haired youth aside, and eagerly handed Gao Yinxi a pair of chopsticks, saying, "Please have some oysters."

Gao Yinxi picked up an oyster, pinched her chopsticks, and sucked it into her mouth. She was immediately amazed by the oyster's plump and fresh juice. "Delicious!"

"See if there's anything else you'd like to eat." Hearing Gao Yinxi say it was delicious, Xiao Liang opened the ordering app for the food stall next door and handed it to her.

Gao Yinxi didn't even glance at it, "Thank you, this is enough."

She pointed to the food already on the table.

Xiao Liang then brought up the bar's drink menu app, saying, "Hey sis, take a look at the sign over here at my friend's place."

He organized tonight's gathering; the bar owner is his friend, and he knows the bar's drinks best among everyone present. "The cocktails and specialties are all made by her, and they're delicious."

"Really?" Gao Yinxi glanced at his phone.

Xiao Liang enthusiastically explained, "My friend's bar specializes in 'Mood-Inspired' cocktails, their signature drink being 'Forget-Me-Not Water,' made with gin infused with hibiscus flowers—perfect for you girls."

As he spoke, he pointed to the table next to him.

Gao Yinxi looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that most of the people sitting in the next booth were girls. The drinks in front of them were the signature mood cocktails that Xiao Liang had strongly recommended. They were colorful and each one was beautifully colored, matching the lighting in the store.

This piqued her interest.

Xiao Liang immediately ordered a few drinks on his phone and then raised his glass to Gao Yinxi, saying, "Please feel free to drink as you like, I'll drink this."

His exceptionally enthusiastic attitude towards Gao Yinxi caused the pink-haired boy to frequently glance at him.

Gao Yanshu handed Gao Yinxi a glass of lemonade, which she accepted and clinked glasses with Xiao Liang's. "Long time no see, Xiao Liang. I heard your shop is doing very well."

"Oh, sis." Xiao Liang downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, rubbed his hands together, and couldn't be happier. "I have to thank you for introducing me to Brother Yuan. He helped me get such a good supply chain. Otherwise, my shop would have been in real trouble."

"It's also because you have the ability."

Gao Yinxi praised Xiao Liang, and Xiao Liang was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

As a spoiled rich kid who has spent so many years indulging in eating, drinking and having fun, this is the first time I've heard someone say that he has any ability. And this person is Gao Yinxi, who is recognized as having ability in the second-generation circle of Xianghai City.

Xiao Liang, his face flushed, continued pouring himself more wine. "Right, sis? You really have a good eye for talent. Let me tell you, I have another project coming up, and I'd appreciate your feedback..."

Meanwhile, Xiao Liang is determined to cling to Gao Yinxi's coattails and further showcase his business acumen.

Seeing that Gao Yinxi was occupied by Gao Yanshu and Xiao Liang on either side, and there was no room for him to get closer, the pink-haired boy made do and moved closer to Gao Yanshu to explain about the red envelope, "Brother, this red envelope is really enough. We're all out having fun, so just give a little something to join in the fun."

"I just saw someone else give away 5 yuan."

Gao Yanshu glanced at him sideways and said, "When you open your business in the future, I'll give you five yuan as a token of my appreciation."
