"I'm so sorry that I suddenly ran over and said I wanted to see you, actually...... I'm here this time mainly because of the matter of the source inspector, that ...... You know that he and Miss Catherine are going to be engaged!"

"Hey, I just heard about this from the person concerned, and it's really surprising to say it!"

"Yes!"

……

When Lin Xiuyi saw Li Fan, who had not seen him for many days, the two couldn't help but feel embarrassed when they talked about Origin Zhizhu and Catherina. However, Lin Xiuyi was entrusted by others, and naturally he still had to do what he should do, just as Lin Xiuyi was about to directly inquire about Catherine's family situation with the other party, the service staff in the store suddenly came to the table of the two at this time, and immediately served them appetizers.

"This is our special avocado sweet shrimp salad!

"Uh...... Do you have any recommendations?"

"Today's diaphragm and beef shoulder are very good, it's still early, the two of you can eat it if you want, and you may not have it in a minute!"

"Huh...... Alright then, please have a diaphragm and a beef shoulder, and that's it, by the way, please bring us two beers!"

In the barbecue restaurant, Lin Xiuyi took it upon himself to tell the shopkeeper his preferences, while Li Fan sat silently and looked at him with a smile. This is not Lin Xiuyi's rudeness, in fact, it is because Li Fan rarely comes to this kind of popular barbecue restaurant, so after eating together a few times, Lin Xiuyi gradually knew Li Fan's confusion!

When the store took Lin Xiuyi's order and turned to leave, Lin Xiuyi took the initiative to ask Lifan:

"I'm really sorry, but in fact, I asked you out this time, mainly because the Ombudsman wants to know about Catherine's parents, after all, this is the first time that the Ombudsman and Miss Catherine's family have met. If we can know some of the other party's situation in advance, I believe it will be easier for the two sides to get in touch......"

"Hmm...... I actually understand this, but ...... Katya's father, what do you say...... I think it's a very great person, in fact, I haven't had the opportunity to meet each other before, so I don't know Mr. Ulyanov very well, as for Katya's mother, she is a woman with an extraordinary temperament, and the Rose Palace Gallery that we run now was actually founded by her when she was young!"

"Uh...... Do you mean that Miss Catherine's mother was the founder of the Rose Palace Gallery......? I know a little bit about this, and it's said that it's an English aristocratic lady, right?"

"This ...... I only remember Katya saying that her mother was Afghan...... But she does have a lot of influence in Europe......"

"Ah...... Afghans?"

"Hey, Katya's father was the Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Soviet government during the Soviet era, and it is said that he and Katya's mother met during the war in Afghanistan......! I'm actually going to have a hard time revealing more details to you......"

"Officials from the former Soviet Union?

"Haha...... Okay, that's all I know, right...... Should I also ask Shuichi-san about Mr. Gen?'s parents...... What kind of people are they?"

"This ...... I'm sorry, I don't seem to know!"

"Huh...... ,Xiuyi,You're a very incompetent minister!Haha,It's good that I got to know you a little bit before I met you.,Otherwise...... It's really hard to explain!"

"Eh, I'm sorry that you know about Mr. Yuan's family! I should have introduced this matter to you!"

"It's okay, in fact, Mr. Gen is also from a famous family! Mr. Gen's father used to be the Minister of Finance, and then after retiring from politics, he went to the Central Bank of Tokyo as president, and as for Mr. Minamoto's mother, before getting married, she used to be the eldest lady of the Ando family, who ran Nissin Foods (the one who invented instant noodles)"

“……”

When the two successfully completed the task assigned by the client, the waitress in the barbecue restaurant happened to deliver the meal they ordered, and under the guidance of the other party, Lin Xiuyi carefully picked up a large piece of beef tendon meat with a clamp and put it on the charcoal grill, and then grilled it slowly. Under the charcoal fire, the fat in the beef gradually seeps out, and when the fat drips onto the hot charcoal, a mouth-watering aroma can't help but make your fingers flutter.

As soon as Lin Xiu saw that the fat on the meat had oozed a little, he picked up the kitchen scissors on the side and intimately helped Li Fan cut the large piece of beef shoulder into small pieces, and then said to Li Fan enthusiastically:

"Ah...... It's almost there, try the sesame salt dipping sauce here!"

"Then I'll go!"

After Li Fan got Lin Xiuyi's prompt, she picked up a small piece of chopsticks and put it on her plate, and then took out a small spoonful of sesame salt from the dipping jar and put it on the side of the plate, when she picked up the beef again, she first picked up a little wasabi puree with the tip of the chopsticks and put it in the middle of the meat, and then gently rolled up the meat with chopsticks and dipped it in a little sesame salt. The melt-in-your-mouth texture, coupled with the spicy taste of wasabi and the cereal aroma of sesame salt, several flavors mixed with the heaviness of tallow, immediately made Li Fan feel the happiness of eating meat for a long time.

"Ah...... I really hope that I can often eat barbecue with Shuichi-san in the future, and the satisfaction of eating barbecue is really incomparable to teppanyaki!"

"It's absolutely no problem, if you want to eat, as long as you don't have anything to do at work, I can accompany you at any time!"

"Really, wouldn't Akemi-chan have a problem if she did that?"

"Forehead ......"

Lin Xiuyi was originally a polite remark, but he was suddenly caught by Li Fan and asked a very serious question, and for a while, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but hesitate how to answer. However, when Li Fan saw Lin Xiuyi's embarrassed appearance, he suddenly burst out laughing, and then asked Lin Xiuyi with a curious expression:

"Shuichi-san, it seems that the matter between you and Akemi has been very hot lately! Say, are you about to get engaged?"

"I, I knew that this matter would cause Akemi so much trouble, so I wouldn't let him visit me in the hospital......! I just hope that Reina can come back soon, so that Akemi and I will have another excuse to meet!"
