Chapter 1017: Trouble!
Gu Yin and the others looked over and saw a man coming down from the second floor. He was tall and slender, with a beautiful but not effeminate appearance! He was wearing a tracksuit with the zipper half open, exuding a casual and aristocratic air.
She's absolutely gorgeous!!
"Your face is so pale, there's not a trace of blood in it. How many nights have you been staying up? Aren't you afraid of dying suddenly?" Xiao Sheng stepped forward and examined the dark circles under the other person's eyes, then shook his head helplessly.
"I was going to sleep for three days, but I heard you brought your friends over for dinner, so I came down to check it out. You didn't even tell me!" The other person said as they walked up to Gu Yin and the others.
"Damn, Xiaosheng, where did you make these friends?! What kind of looks are these? But come to think of it, I feel like I'm on the same page as these guys. Your ugly face makes us look bad! Hello friends! I'm Wei Zijing, the owner of this shop. Welcome! Just tell the kitchen what you'd like to eat or drink! As for me, I'm not going to chat with you all in this state. I'm going upstairs to catch up on some sleep, otherwise I'm afraid I'll fall asleep while sitting here, which would be so rude! Excuse me, sorry!"
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Yin and the others to speak, he staggered upstairs to sleep, looking like he was about to pass away!
"Aren't you going to do anything about it?" Gu Yin looked at Xiao Sheng.
Xiao Sheng shook his head: "It's nothing. There are doctors upstairs. The fact that they can come down means they're not seriously injured. They're just tired. Let's go in."
The store is quite large, decorated entirely with e-sports and futuristic technology themes. It looks great; if it were in the future, it would definitely be a popular spot for social media check-ins!
At four o'clock, there were very few people in the store.
"Would you like to eat in the lobby, in a private room, or upstairs?"
Gu Yin looked around and said, "Let's go upstairs. I see that the upstairs area is also open-plan, so there's enough space, and there won't be many people coming and going during mealtimes."
After the group went upstairs, Xiaosheng brought over the menu.
"There are so many ingredients here, are they all really available?" Gu Yin looked at the four pages of the menu filled with information and asked curiously.
"It's not just that there are a lot of ingredients. I see from the labels that many of them are from our farm. The seafood and beef are all imported from abroad. The eight major cuisines, the Manchu Han Imperial Feast... Does he really not lose money? Or is it that his e-sports team makes him a lot of money?" Gu Shu asked Wei Zijing curiously!
Xiao Sheng laughed upon hearing this, "There are a lot of dishes, but not many. They are limited every day and are first-come, first-served. The team hasn't made any money yet and is currently losing money. The main reason is that his family is really rich. As long as he doesn't do anything illegal or criminal, his family spoils him. These losses are nothing."
Gu Yin knew that this person was very wealthy and had never appeared online. He was among the top ten richest people in the country, but there was no record of him with the surname Wei.
"From a reclusive family?"
Xiao Sheng shook his head: "The Wei family is in the antique business. Half of the museum's collection was donated by them. Their ancestors made jade ornaments for the former royal family. The imperial seal also came from their family. Their descendants are relatively low-key. Now, whenever there is an important meeting or event that needs any jade or accessories, they are the ones who arrange it."
Gu Hua couldn't help but murmur, "No wonder she's so beautiful! She's been raised on jade!"
"You're so old and still not married, do you like someone?" Gu Ran suddenly blurted out this question.
Xiao Sheng was so startled that he spat out his tea: "Cough cough cough!!! Cough cough cough!! What nonsense are you talking about! I like women! Zi Jing likes women too! What have you been learning at the base???"
Gu Yin denied it: "Hey! The base won't take the blame for this! You should ask Chief Zhang! What exactly did he teach Gu Ran that makes her head full of these kinds of ideas! Gu Ran, tell me!"
Gu Ran shifted her gaze from Xiao Sheng to Gu Yin, paused for a moment, and said quietly, "In that previous case, one of the reasons his wife betrayed him was because that man liked men, asked her to keep it a secret, and even asked her to help sponsor male college students, and then..."
Gu Yin: "...What was Chief Zhang's reaction?" The other party always referred to him as an old comrade-in-arms, saying he wasn't that kind of person.
Gu Ran: "...He hasn't left the house for several days. I heard that when he was in the army, he shared a dormitory with the other party. Maybe he has some kind of trauma."
Gu Yin: "...Him, well, let's mourn for him."
Chi Xing asked curiously, "...He shouldn't have been offended, right?"
"No, but there was hugging and cuddling, showering together and stuff... everything. He treated him like a brother, but who knew he liked men? He felt a little unclean."
"Pfft!! Cough cough cough! Um, why isn't the hot pot base here yet? I'm hungry, hurry up and bring the food, I want hot pot!" Gu Yin quickly changed the subject. It was best not to talk about Zhang Huanan's face, hahaha!
Xiao Sheng knew the other person, who was also an elder. He could just listen to what the other person said and not continue the conversation.
"I'll go take a look and bring the menu to them while I'm at it!"
A short while later, the waiter brought over two pots of broth.
Xiao Sheng followed behind: "I just went to the fish tank to pick out some seafood, like crabs and shrimp. Do you want to peel them yourselves or have them do it for you?"
Gu Yin was unwilling to do it: "Let them do it, I just want to eat what's ready." Mainly, she didn't know how to cook those arm-sized mantis shrimps!
Half an hour later, the dishes started to arrive one after another.
Gu Yin took off her coat and used a disposable chopstick to tie her hair up.
"Ah Hua, get me some seasoning, I'm going to the restroom."
"OK!"
Ten minutes later, Gu Yin came out of the restroom and saw a group of people sitting in the lobby as she passed the main entrance. They were all wearing the same clothes, so she guessed that these people were Wei Zijing's e-sports employees.
Gu Yin glanced at it and continued upstairs.
"You're back just in time! The beef bone marrow is all soft now, perfect for eating! Sit down and have a taste!"
Upon seeing Gu Yin return, Gu Hua immediately waved and served her a generous amount of beef bone marrow, knowing that Gu Yin liked to eat it!
Gu Yin sat down, ate a few bites, and nodded: "So fresh! It's also very well prepared, with no other smell!"
Afterwards, Gu Yin tried other dishes, and they were indeed delicious! The main reason was that the ingredients were very fresh!
"Hello everyone, the roast chicken, salt-baked chicken, and lotus leaf chicken you ordered are all ready. Would you like them served now, or later?"
The waiter came over to ask, and Chi Xing, looking at the food that was cooking, said, "Bring it here now."
She ate a little too quickly; there wasn't enough food for her, and the other person arrived just in time.
"Okay, so do you want us to disassemble it, or will you do it yourselves?"
"You guys take it apart! I'm afraid if I do it myself, the whole thing will end up in my stomach." She wasn't joking; at the Gu family's house, she could eat two by herself!
Five minutes later, the waiter pushed the food cart to their table and began to unpack it.
"Don't cut the chicken legs into small pieces after you take them out; just leave them as is. They like to hold them and gnaw on them." Gu Yin immediately reminded him as he was about to take apart the chicken legs.
"Okay, then the chicken wings..."
"Didn't we say that each table could only order one chicken? How come they have three! I came early specifically to order, and they're all gone? What's going on? Don't you deserve an explanation?"
A male voice, arrogant yet tinged with dissatisfaction, came from the stairwell.
