Chapter 34: Her lipstick smells so sweet (Guess the new male lead - no prize)
Xiao Chen chuckled and said, "Isn't this the first time I've seen so many star coins? My God, that's two million! I was stunned when I saw that string of zeros!"
Someone nearby laughed and said, "Little Chen, look at you, so naive. When we get a multi-million dollar deal, you'll be scared out of your wits."
Everyone laughed until someone noticed that Nan Jiao's expression was a little strange.
Nan Jiao's voice trembled slightly, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes. She said, "What did they say? Let me see it."
The mere mention of "Capital Star" makes her more sensitive. Especially since the other party is demanding that she go there in person to discuss it, it's hard not to overthink it.
"Oh, I'll get it right away. They sent an email to our restaurant requesting to discuss a collaboration."
Nan Jiao looked at it again and again. The person on the other end said that they had long admired its reputation and hoped to cooperate, but because this cooperation was quite important, they preferred to discuss the details in person.
The explanation is reasonable.
But Nan Jiao was always haunted by a strange sense of unease.
"The company name mentioned here is Linyi. Go look it up."
"Oh, this company is a medium-sized enterprise that has been established for five years, and the manager's name matches. They mainly handle wedding banquet planning." Xiao Chen asked, "Boss, is there something wrong with this company?"
"No." Nan Jiao secretly scolded herself for overthinking.
"So...should we still accept this order?"
"Of course, that's two million star coins, of course we have to make money."
Last time, I only made a few hundred thousand yuan preparing a banquet for the Qiu family, so I certainly can't let go of a two million yuan order.
"Okay, I'll go reply."
"Okay, ask him for the specific time."

The next day, Nan Jiao arrived at the Lancer Hotel on time. As usual, she applied lipstick, which instantly added a touch of charisma to her originally fair and innocent face.
This is her old habit, because she doesn't have an advantage in terms of image or voice in business battles.
Nan Jiao once encountered a client who treated her like a student. The client thought she was naive and deliberately tried to take advantage of her, but after she realized he had misjudged her, he slunk away, and the cooperation naturally fell through.
After taking the aerial train, she arrived at the agreed location smoothly. The Lancer Hotel is said to be the oldest and most luxurious hotel in Lant City, bar none.
After entering, Nan Jiao was quickly led to the pre-arranged private room by a waiter.
Her gaze casually swept over the decor of the Lancer Hotel, and she thought of her own restaurant.
She was determined to make her restaurant even better than the Lancer Hotel; she wanted to create the most famous hotel in the entire galaxy!
"This is the place, please come in."
Nan Jiao nodded and went inside. Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie came to greet her. When she saw him, Nan Jiao's heart finally settled back into her stomach.
"Hello, Miss Nan. I am Hua Wei. I heard about your restaurant back in the first star. It is said that people who have eaten there never forget it."
"You flatter me."
"Come, here, please have a seat."
Nan Jiao sat down opposite him; the table was already laden with food that was shockingly expensive.
The Lancer Hotel also boasts the highest spending standards in Lant City; such a meal would cost at least tens of thousands of Star Coins.
"I hope I haven't been too forward. Here's the thing: we've received a wedding banquet invitation from a nobleman. He's very picky, so we need to discuss many details about the food in person."
"I see," Nan Jiao said. "I understand."
"I'm glad you understand. By the way, this is Lancer's signature white jade cake. Please try it."
Seeing that Hua Wei across from her had already picked up a white jade cake and was eating it with relish, Nan Jiao also took one.
She almost threw up the moment she put it in her mouth. How could something be so salty? It was as if the salt merchant had been beaten up and swallowed along with the food.
But Hua Wei on the other side kept praising her.
"It seems a little salty..."
"Oh, this is salty, you'll get used to it."
Because of Hua Wei's presence, Nan Jiao suppressed the urge to vomit, swallowed a mouthful, and then put the white jade cake aside.
She grabbed the drink from the table and drank it all in one gulp; she could barely taste what it was.
After drinking two cups, the salty taste in her mouth finally subsided.
"Miss Nan, are you alright?"
A concerned voice came from the side.
"I'm fine, maybe I'm just not used to the food..."
Before she could finish speaking, Nan Jiao felt her head getting dizzier and dizzier, and before she could think of anything, she had already slumped onto the table.
Light footsteps sounded, and a tall figure completely enveloped the girl.
Hua Wei immediately stood up: "Your Highness..."
Upon seeing the gesture, Hua Wei immediately closed the door and left.
His slender, shapely fingers, with a lustrous, white sheen, gently brushed aside her hair, his dry fingertips tenderly caressing her delicate chin.
"You've lost weight..."
He slowly leaned down, his dazzling golden hair intertwining intimately with her jet-black hair.
She was as obedient as before, and wouldn't resist even if she was kissed too hard.
The crimson tip of her tongue licked the lip mud that had accidentally gotten on the corner of her lips.
So sweet.

When Nan Jiao woke up, she found herself lying in bed. Hua Wei, who was not far away, saw that she was awake and hurriedly came over.
"Miss Nan, you're finally awake!"
Nan Jiao hurriedly checked her clothes. Thankfully, they were intact, and she felt no discomfort, except…
Her mouth seemed to hurt a little.
What's wrong with me?
Hua Wei handed her a glass of water, but because of her previous experience, Nan Jiao didn't dare to take it.
Hua Wei didn't press the matter. He said, "It's like this. You just fainted due to an allergic reaction. It was really my oversight. The drink you had was a mixed fruit juice. I originally wanted to identify your allergen, but the kitchen said that the ingredients for this juice were lacking, so the chef used other natural foods as substitutes. However, they couldn't remember exactly what they used."
He looked sincere: "I'm really sorry for the trouble. I'm willing to pay an extra 10% as an apology."
It turns out it was an allergic reaction. No wonder my mouth hurts so much and my neck is a little itchy.
Seeing Hua Wei's sincerity, Nan Jiao decided not to argue with him anymore: "I know this wasn't your intention, so let's continue discussing cooperation, otherwise it will get dark soon."
Hua Wei nodded hurriedly: "Then this way, please."
"good."
After the conversation, Hua Wei sent someone to take Nan Jiao back. Nan Jiao initially refused, but couldn't resist his enthusiasm and had to agree.
During the journey, Nan Jiao received a call from Qi Han, whose voice sounded very anxious.
"Jiaojiao, Kang Kang has a fever and is in the hospital. He keeps talking about you and refuses to eat. You know, Kang Kang has never had a mother since he was little. Could you please come and check on him?"
"Don't worry, Brother Qi Han, I'm coming right now."
Nan Jiao quickly told the driver to turn around and go to the hospital.
As soon as he entered the hospital lobby, he saw a group of doctors walking towards him, with Lu Xiao surrounded in the middle.
He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye as usual, then froze.
Because he saw the hickeys on her neck.
