Su Nian and Chu Beichen set off together to the Chaoshan restaurant where they were going to treat He and the secretary to dinner. The reason they chose this restaurant was because He and the secretary had lived in Southeast Asia for many years, and Chaoshan cuisine should be more suitable for He and the secretary's taste.
The restaurant was not far from where the two lived, only about ten minutes' walk. Chu Beichen did not drive, but instead picked up two bottles of wine from home and walked there with Su Nian.
He has a special identity as a secretary. He is the secretary of overseas wealthy businessman Wang Jiacheng. If he doesn't want to publicize his trip to Beijing and rashly exposes his whereabouts, it would offend people.
When Su Nian and Chu Beichen entered the restaurant, he and his secretary also came with Tang Xiaofang. He had flowers in his hand and handed them to Su Nian as soon as they met.
Tang Xiaofang became the one who did the rough work, and she took all the local specialties. She had a sullen face, and only after the secretary beside her coughed did she put on a fake smile.
Su Nian's invitation was naturally not because of Tang Xiaofang. She pretended not to see Tang Xiaofang and extended her hand to let her and the secretary go in first.
Chaoshan cuisine is all about fish and shrimp, which is not cheap in the north, but it is much more affordable than Tan's cuisine, and can be considered mid-to-high-end consumption in Beijing. The restaurant is also elegantly decorated, and the secretary is very satisfied. "Thank you for troubling Miss Su this time!"
Su Nian handed the menu to the secretary and said, "Please order!"
He declined with the secretary: "It's up to the host, Miss Su, just order!"
Su Nian pursed her lips and smiled, "Then I won't be polite!"
Together with Chu Beichen who was sitting next to her, she quickly ordered the signature dishes such as lobster and shark fin, and also ordered two vegetarian dishes and two sweet dishes. Then she looked at the secretary and asked, "Do you have any special tastes?"
The secretary smiled and replied, "No, it's good to keep the characteristics of this restaurant!"
Tang Xiaofang had been taught a lesson by her secretary yesterday, and had become much more honest. Since entering the restaurant, she hadn't said a word. However, Su Nian asked about the taste without asking for her opinion, which made Tang Xiaofang, who loved to be the best, unbearable again!
"I love pumpkin and taro puree, add this to the dish!" Tang Xiaofang picked up the snow-white towel to wipe her hands, and instructed Su Nian in a reserved manner.
Her attitude almost made Su Nian and Chu Beichen laugh. You know, the host and guest today is the secretary, and Tang Xiaofang is not the secretary's original wife, so she should recognize her own identity.
However, Su Nian would not care about such a small matter. It was just one more dish, so she added it immediately.
The secretary's face was not looking good anymore. As a secretary, one must be observant of others' expressions. Tang Xiaofang's behavior would be seen as being out of touch with the times. However, Tang Xiaofang was still complacent, and the secretary could only be secretly angry.
For Su Nian and Chu Beichen, today's meal was just an ordinary social event. Since they were not close friends with the secretary, everyone tried to choose words that would not go wrong during the meal.
At the end of the meeting, he told his secretary about Su Nian's new drug. "The cure rate is shockingly high, over 90%. The boss is very excited and has asked the research institute to speed up the testing so that it can be put on the market as soon as possible."
"Ms. Su, do you have any other patents? How about cooperating with us again?" He and the secretary were obviously well prepared, and it was not just about having a meal.
Su Nian thought about it and said, "There is still a little bit!"
"Oh? That's great. I heard that the snacks here are good. I wonder if Miss Su Nian can accompany me to try them?" He said this with his secretary's eyes shining.
