Chapter 19 Chapter 19 The importance of having a name in BL novels...
As the highest-rated restaurant in this business district, this hot pot restaurant is quite good.
Shao Jiayan looked at the red tomato pot towards him, then looked at the fragrant butter pot next to Si Yizhi, and couldn't help licking his lips.
"Mr. Si, the beef fat pot here smells very fragrant and should taste authentic. Don't be afraid..."
As a rising star who started his own business, Si Yizhi was somewhat dissatisfied with his words.
He said "hmm" in a cold tone, then reservedly called on Assistant Niu Ma to start eating.
Shao Jiayan was quite satisfied with this slightly weird hotpot, but Si Yizhi was not so happy with it.
The spicy beef oil pot was steaming, and even the air was filled with a spicy aroma. The terrifying red bubbling bottom of the pot made Si Yizhi cough when he got a little closer to it.
Under the encouraging gaze of Assistant Niu Ma, he still raised his chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef, squinted his eyes and started to scoop it up.
After eating together for such a long time, they have become quite proficient in triggering empathy.
This meal looks horrible, and actually tastes horrible.
Although Si Yizhi was not touched by the spiciness this time, he was touched by the sourness.
"Don't drink it, this lemonade is making my teeth sour!" The tomato pot at Shao Jiayan's place was already sour, and with that glass of lemonade...
It made Si Yizhi put on the mask of pain.
"Ah? Sorry, I won't drink it then." Shao Jiayan quickly poured himself a glass of boiled water and took a big gulp.
But it's not his fault, after all, Si Yizhi ordered the drink himself.
"How about we order a new drink?" Shao Jiayan suggested, then scanned the code and looked through the drinks section of the menu.
Wow, his boss really knows how to order.
In a sense, it is quite impressive that he was able to accurately find the only lemonade with a one-star rating.
Finally, Shao Jiayan took the initiative and ordered himself a cup of peach oolong tea, which he drank for Si Yizhi.
After the little incident with lemon tea, Shao Jiayan gradually became bolder in this noisy environment.
He was always thinking about the upcoming quarrel between the villain and the protagonist over the inheritance. After all, who is heartless? Having been with Mr. Si for such a long time, Shao Jiayan really wanted to rescue this handsome villain.
"Mr. Si...are we going straight back to the Si family after dinner?" Thinking that Mr. Si's lawyer would read the will in the afternoon, Shao Jiayan no longer had an appetite for hotpot.
Si Yizhi didn't even raise his eyelids. He chewed and chewed while making a "hmm" sound.
Seeing this, Shao Jiayan asked cautiously, "Didn't your father want you to give up the inheritance? What are your plans?"
[My dear boss~ Although money and shares are tempting, life is more priceless! The protagonist is the destined prince of the Beijing circle. If you fight with him for his property, you will hinder him from ascending the throne! No one will let you go! ]
Think about Si Yiran’s team.
The entire Wen family is Si Yiran's loyal helper, and the entire Si family also hopes that Si Yiran will be the successor.
On the other hand, for Si Yizhi, although his parents are still alive, they are worse than dead. They are all holding him back.
He has no romantic partner, only a vicious female subordinate with whom he is not very close.
The people in the initial founding team of Ark Games were loyal to Si Yizhi, but they were only business partners and had no say in the internal struggles within the Si family.
[If I persuade Mr. Si to give up his inheritance rights, will I be fired tomorrow? But I can't bear to watch Mr. Si go astray~]
Si Yizhi then raised his head and looked at him.
Assistant Niu Ma was looking at him anxiously, the worry in his eyes was evident.
It was the first time that Si Yizhi was looked at in this way and he subconsciously looked away. His first reaction was that he was afraid to meet the man's gaze.
After all, he had lived for almost 28 years, and he had only seen this kind of caring emotion from his grandfather and teacher. Si Yizhi, who had been in business for many years, was not used to others' overly caring attitude, especially since he knew that Shao Jiayan's care was sincere.
"I won't give up my inheritance rights." Even though he knew that if he didn't let go, he would completely break off relations with his family, Si Yizhi didn't care.
"Grandpa is an independent individual. He is qualified to decide who will inherit his inheritance. Even my father is not qualified to influence the will of others."
This is certainly the truth, but people die for money and birds die for food.
Shao Jiayan was still very worried about Mr. Si's future fate.
Just as the two chatted for a few sentences, the number of people in the hot pot restaurant seemed to have decreased unknowingly.
At first, Shao Jiayan thought it was his own illusion, but when he lost interest in eating and was thinking about how to continue persuading them, he noticed that after the people at the two tables in front and behind them left, no new diners came...
Si Yizhi also quickly noticed the changes in the store. When he looked up and looked around, the waiter came over to apologize, "I'm sorry, due to equipment problems we may need to close the store in 30 minutes. Can you two eat as soon as possible? As compensation, this meal will be free for both of you."
When he heard about the free meal, Shao Jiayan subconsciously agreed.
However, when he thought that he didn't spend any money on this meal, he immediately swallowed his words and turned to look at the big fool who spent two thousand yuan to buy scalped tickets.
In fact, according to their normal eating speed, half an hour would be enough for them to finish their meal.
Although Si Yizhi was very strict at work, he was also a good talker in life. If he hadn't seen two familiar figures, he should have promised the waiter to finish his meal as soon as possible and leave.
"Lying to customers is not a good habit." The man's tone was cold, making the young hot pot waiter a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Shao Jiayan followed his gaze.
Boy, what did he find?
It's actually the protagonist and the bottom holding hands?
That’s right, Si Yiran and Wen Kefan were talking to a fat man in a suit with a big smile on his face at the cashier counter of the hot pot restaurant.
"Ah, that's not..." Shao Jiayan was stunned, then he reacted.
The protagonist, who is the prince of the Beijing circle, has not yet ascended the throne as king and has mastered the basic skills of the domineering president of Tianliang Wangpo.
But going out to eat a meal or book a place is still basic practice.
Before he could figure out what was going on, Si Yizhi on the opposite side had already stood up.
The poor waitress who had not completed her task was already a little panicked, and she tried to persuade the customer not to be angry by adding some compensation. However, the other party's rather intimidating height made her a little afraid to step forward.
But at this time Wen Kefan and the others also noticed the situation here, and the next moment he trotted over heartlessly.
"Boss Si, Assistant Shao, are you guys eating here too?" Young Master Wen's face was filled with joy. "This hot pot restaurant has been very popular online recently. I was thinking of trying it with Brother Yiran today."
Si Yiran, who was originally chatting and laughing with Wen Kefan, came over with a sullen look on his face when he saw this.
The waiter was relieved when he found out that they knew each other. Shao Jiayan was extremely embarrassed, but he could only stand up with a big smile on his face and greet Wen Kefan and the others, complaining madly in his heart.
[Oh my god~ What kind of Shura field is this? 】
What made him even more nervous was that Wen Kefan came over to take a look at the table where they were halfway through their meal and asked in confusion, "Huh? Brother Si, when did you start drinking Bobo Taro Milk Tea?"
Seeing the two bowls on the table, Wen Kefan was extremely surprised, "Brother Si, you...are you starting to eat spicy food now?!"
Considering that this situation is likely to occur again in the future, Si Yizhi gave up explaining and chose to accept it.
“People’s tastes change all the time.”
"You've changed a lot in the past few years." Young Master Wen said blankly.
Si Yizhi, who followed behind him, asked a more pointed and direct question, "Are you guys dating?"
Si Yiran's scrutiny made Shao Jiayan feel uncomfortable. He quickly waved his hands and explained, "No, I just stopped by to have a meal. Mr. Si is really good at joking~"
But Si Yiran doesn't think so.
He looked at Shao Jiayan carefully again, and when he thought about the relevant information he had found out about this person before, he became more convinced of a certain understanding.
"You just picked this internet-famous couple hotpot restaurant for a casual meal? You guys are really good at finding it."
"What?" Shao Jiayan's pupils trembled.
He then remembered that since he was waiting for his table, most of the diners were in pairs. However, there were also some warm families of three...
[Master Qingtang, I really didn’t have any bias when choosing a restaurant! I simply chose a restaurant with the highest rating! ]
Shao Jiayan was speechless for a moment, while Si Yiran showed an expression of "as expected" and turned to Si Yizhizi.
"I heard before that you, brother, transferred a grassroots programmer to the position of general assistant." Si Yiran glanced at Shao Jiayan again.
The more I looked at him, the more I disliked him, especially because his eyes looked very similar to those of my fiancé.
"Nepotism is not a good habit."
Due to some special reasons, Si Yizhi is not in a position to explain the real reason for transferring Shao Jiayan to the position of general assistant.
But when the two of them looked at Si Yiran with an indescribable expression, the other party still felt that he had hit the nail on the head.
So he added, "No wonder you didn't want to date someone when mom introduced you to one this morning. If you don't like women, you can just say so, okay?"
After hearing this, Shao Jiayan suddenly understood something.
[I told you, how could an important male supporting character with a name and surname in a BL novel not be gay?]
Si Yizhi resisted the urge to curse and said coldly, "You think too much. I am just a single person."
"We're done eating, we're leaving first." Si Yizhi gave the assistant a look.
Shao Jiayan quickly picked up his belongings and prepared to say goodbye to them.
Before the two of them left, Si Yizhi reminded Si Yiran, "I heard that people in the circle call you the prince of the Beijing circle, but you have to book a restaurant to eat hot pot. Isn't this a bit too much? Are you really not afraid of affecting the reputation of the Si family?"
