Chapter 20
Seeing Lu Zhi showing a look of forbearance, Song Yuxing was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
She pointed at her empty bowl, feeling both amused and helpless. "Although, what I just ate was delicious. Even though it smelled bad, it wasn't anything... weird."
She spoke righteously, how come snail noodles, such a delicious food, became like *?
Lu Zhi frowned with some suspicion. He stared at her several times before finally confirming it from her expression.
"Okay." He reluctantly agreed with her, but doubts remained in his heart.
Feeling that he was looking at her as if she were a fool, Song Yuxing twitched the corners of her mouth, feeling helpless.
How should I tell him that snail noodles are really delicious?
Wait, she seems to have a solution.
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Song Yuxing instantly took out a brush, made a bowl of snail noodles right in front of him, and then pushed it in front of him.
"Try it, it tastes delicious."
Suddenly, there was a piece of extremely smelly food in front of him. Lu Zhi's expression froze slightly and he could hardly keep the smile on his face.
He lowered his head and peered closely.
It must be said that although this thing smells quite bad, it looks surprisingly good. However, he seems to have never seen the food inside.
But no matter what, the smell that rushed into his nose still made him feel a little resistant.
But the person in front of him is the owner of the park he is about to cooperate with. If he refuses at this time, wouldn’t it be a bit embarrassing?
His heart was filled with conflict.
Seeing him stop moving, Song Yuxing urged him, "Eat quickly. Trust me for once."
Lu Zhi picked up the chopsticks stiffly, hesitated for a while, and finally, under her gaze, picked up a yellow square strip and put it into his mouth.
As soon as it enters the mouth, the tip of the tongue feels like it has touched something new and the taste of the food is amplified countless times.
The square strips are soaked in the flavor of the soup in the bowl. The juice will overflow when you bite it lightly. The surface has been softened and tastes very soft.
Because the soup base was added with red oil and chili peppers, Lu Zhi, who had never tasted spicy food before, even opened his mouth slightly and said "Sah" after taking a bite, trying to dispel the spiciness in his mouth.
This is a food he has no aversion to at all.
No, it should be said that this was the first time in all his years that he felt the door to a new world was opening to him in terms of food.
He felt a deep shock in his heart.
“It tastes really good.”
His eyes lit up instantly, and his hands seemed to have their own consciousness, constantly picking up the food inside.
He ate without even looking up.
This bowl of snail noodles looked very large, but he still finished it within 10 minutes. In the end, he even drank up all the soup, completely forgetting what he thought of the food before he came in.
Lu Zhi leaned back in his chair contentedly. He touched his stomach and felt a rare sense of satisfaction.
He pointed to the bowl of food he had finished and asked curiously, "What is this called?"
Song Yuxing: "This is snail rice noodle. See, I didn't lie to you. Although this snail rice noodle smells bad, it really doesn't taste bad at all."
This time, Lu Zhi finally nodded sincerely, completely agreeing with what she said.
He smiled and said, "Before I came here, I was worried that you, Miss 007, would be affected by what happened on Starnet. Now it seems that I was indeed overthinking it. It turns out that the food in Huaxia Paradise is really delicious."
Before he came here, he had seen the news about her being hacked on Starnet, and he was a little skeptical at first, but after what happened today, he now completely believes it and even thinks that this food has great potential.
Not forgetting his identity as a businessman, he jokingly said, "How about this? Since we're already partners, why don't you give me the right to sell the food as well?"
Knowing that he was really attracted to her, Song Yuxing refused without hesitation.
"No, each of these foods requires my mental energy to construct, and I don't have that much time and energy to do it."
Food is not like peripherals. Peripheral cards only require mental power to construct the main card, and the secondary cards can be given to others to copy, so they do not take up much of her time, but food is different.
The construction of all food is infused with spiritual power. If she only focused on food, there would be no need to update the paradise.
After hearing what she said, Lu Zhicai realized that he did feel much more comfortable mentally after eating.
This feeling of comfort is even better than seeking treatment from a therapist.
Feeling like he had gotten a great bargain for no reason, Lu Zhi coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
Secretly keeping this favor in mind, he simply changed the subject and took out the contract he brought with him.
"Lu's agreed to your request. We only want the operating rights to the peripheral stores. You get 70% of the sales revenue, and we get 30%. But there's a condition: from now on, all peripheral operations must be handled by Lu's. Do you agree?"
Song Yuxing took the contract and glanced at it. She found that the contents were basically what she had proposed last time, and there were no traps in the text. It can be seen that Lu Zhi and the others are still very sincere.
She also knew what they wanted.
——Exclusive operating rights in the surrounding area.
This request is actually not excessive, especially considering her current situation.
Song Yuxing looked up at him and said, "Mr. Lu, aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?"
"Before you came here, you should have known about the hacking of me, including the incident involving Chinese civilization."
"Of course I know."
Lu Zhi did not refute, he even asked calmly: "So, what's the problem with this?"
She raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you afraid that my reputation will be ruined because of this?"
Judging from the online sentiment, she should be the one being attacked by everyone right now. Isn't Lu Zhi afraid that if he gets on her bandwagon, it will affect their reputation?
She was a little confused.
But Lu Zhi just smiled lightly, "Ms. 007, you not only underestimate us, you also underestimate yourself. Even if you are being criticized now, you can't deny the excellence of Huaxia Paradise. Just with your paradise's 80% healing value, you don't have to worry about what others think. As long as you have this, there will be a steady stream of tourists coming to play. In our opinion, it should be a matter of time before your paradise is upgraded to S-level."
He spoke very bluntly, and Song Yuxing understood his subtext.
But he continued to add one more sentence.
"Besides, having haters is a good thing. It's better than being unknown."
These days, who says black and red are not red?
Of course, he admitted that he chose to cooperate at this time because he thought the probability of her agreeing would be greater.
Song Yuxing certainly understood this, and she only thought about it for a few minutes before simply signing the contract.
The moment the letters fell, the contract was officially established.
Then Lu Zhi saw the person opposite him with a bald head, and two slender hands stretched out from the side, covered his hands and shook them left and right.
This action is both cute and a little funny.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
Lu Zhi laughed, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
After finishing his business, he looked at the time on his watch and said happily, "It's just right. I should leave too."
Song Yuxing looked at him curiously, "Where are you going?"
Lu Zhi nodded. "Speaking of which, it's related to you. I received an invitation from my brother and plan to stay at the hotel in your park for a few days. How about it, Mr. Park Owner? Do you have any recommended activities?"
invite?
Song Yuxing immediately thought of Lu Zefeng and Zhou Song.
She opened her eyes wide, "Lu Zefeng is your brother?"
"Yes." Lu Zhi admitted directly, "He has a rather naughty personality, but he didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"
Song Yuxing shook her head. "Of course not. On the contrary, I think your brother has great potential as a blogger."
Hearing her praise, Lu Zhi's eyes seemed to soften a lot.
"As for the projects, it seems that there are indeed not many projects in the park now." Song Yuxing thought about it carefully and found that if you really want to count them, there are probably only three projects.
Slopes, immersive experiences, and the Sycamore Tree Hotel.
She felt the long-lost poverty.
Seeing her slightly embarrassed expression, Lu Zhi guessed something, so he immediately and politely changed the subject. After a few pleasantries, he left.
After seeing the people off, Song Yuxing suddenly remembered the incident with the guest in the mountain. Not knowing how the matter was progressing, she went up to take a look.
Unexpectedly, even though she was being blacklisted by the entire network just a few hours ago, the comment section below has completely changed.
"What's going on?" She was confused.
The little whale knows.
[Host, a big boss has come out to speak for you.]
Following the guidance of the little whale, she finally found this so-called big boss.
A retired professor from the First Federal University, he specialized in civilization research and was a senior expert in this field.
According to the professor, this incident was told to her by her former student.
After research and analysis, the two preliminarily proved the authenticity of the existence of this civilization.
Professor Cong Lan: After analysis by my student @Chen Xia and I, we have preliminarily confirmed the authenticity of the data. This result is exciting because before this, there was virtually no information about Chinese civilization, and many people even believed it was fictional. But perhaps from today on, everything about Chinese civilization will be overturned!
The excitement could be felt even through the text, but when this news came out, everyone was stunned.
[Wait, am I seeing this right?]
[What's going on? This is hilarious. Are you in cahoots with that park owner?]
[The person above, open your eyes and see clearly. He's a professor at the First University. Even if I haven't learned anything about civilization research, I've heard of this big guy. Don't criticize him casually. You're just criticizing for the sake of criticizing, right?]
I don't believe what others say, but I do believe what you say, Professor. Does that mean Chinese civilization is real?
[Wow, such explosive news! It really overturned my worldview. So, are all the information Sister Ling released true?]
"Are you focusing on the wrong thing? Since the information Sister Ling provided is true, how could Shan Zhongke, as a researcher, not know about it? Is he lying with his eyes open?"
[Yeah, this Shan Zhongke is so unreliable. Is he really a researcher? Tag @Institute, would you please come out and clarify?]
…
The number of comments increased rapidly. Originally, everyone was joking when tagging the institute. After all, everyone knew that the institute never paid attention to people online.
However, what no one expected was that the institute actually returned.
[Institute: We have determined that our researcher, Shan Zhongke, falsified his academic background. We have dismissed him from his position as a researcher and filed a lawsuit in federal court. His previous actions were personal and have nothing to do with our institute. Also, Miss @077, begging for a park ticket! (crying)]
This statement caused an uproar among the crowd.
