Chapter 39: A Sweet Invitation
Shu never expected Gao Min to take her to the top restaurant on the cloud, which celebrities flock to, and Lu Lujin did not hesitate to occupy the spread page in the face of the cloud restaurant, saying that it is the gospel of the food world, comparable to the luxury restaurants in Manhattan, and it is also a vanity fair that considers identity and taste. Especially after a big star brought his mysterious girlfriend to the cloud to dine and successfully proposed, the cloud restaurant was rated as the best place to propose by magazines and institutions, and a borrowed advertising slogan was widely circulated: If you love her, take her to eat on the cloud.
Influenced by the sensational advertising words, Shu Neem refused in his heart, how strange he thought about coming to eat in such a place with creditors, but as soon as he stepped into the revolving door, he felt that it was worth the trip.
The lobby is furnished with elegant bar counters and transparent wine racks, and the overall style of the restaurant is minimalist and design-oriented, from the art paintings hanging on the walls to the crystal wine glasses on the dining table.
If you want to get involved in art collection, then please take a good look at every painting on the wall of the restaurant, they are the trend of art collection.
Shu Neem didn't look around like a bun, she secretly looked at the surrounding environment with the corner of her eye, and then found Zhu Ziteng's masterpiece of name*, the raging fire surrounded the plump naked woman, this is still what he painted when he was with Lu Lujin, you and me, a painting of a relationship, it is quite embarrassing to think about.
The woman in the lead is full of charm, wearing a one-shoulder little black dress, wearing Tahitian black pearls on her ears, thick eyebrows and red lips, and a few minutes of Chu Hong's shadow, and she looks heroic and amorous when she laughs.
The beauty hugged Gao Min and saluted, "Hi, Min, long time no see"
Look at this familiar posture is not as simple as the ordinary relationship between the usherman and the customer, Shu Neem secretly thought.
"Hey, how are you doing?" , Gao Min quietly took a half step back, dodging the slender jade hand that the beauty was about to put on his arm.
Tsk, I really don't understand the amorous feelings, waiting for the lonely life. The two of them were greeting each other, and Shu Neem was not idle here, busy with mental activities.
"This-", the beauty finally freed up to find a person next to her.
Ouch, beauty, what kind of meaningful gaze is you, it's clear that you want to misunderstand something's rhythm.
Without waiting for Gao Min to speak, Shu Neem introduced himself first, "Hello, I am Mr. Gao's customer, Shu Neem"
"Oh, client, hello, I'm Min's friend, you can also call me Jasmine"
Is the seating arranged? I can't wait to taste the chef's own cooking", Gao Min smiled and hinted that they were too fake.
"Ah, look at me, I've forgotten about business", Jasmine covered her mouth exaggeratedly, "The position has been arranged for a long time, two of you here, please"
The seats are futuristic, with white eggshell-shaped screens enclosing a semi-private space with two seats.
Gao Min didn't flip through the menu and ordered Chef'u, an eight-course set meal paired with Pinot Noir.
"Do you want dessert?" , Gao Min raised his head and cast an inquiring glance at Shu Neem.
Shu Neem flipped through the menu, picked a brightly colored dessert and said, "I want vanilla cranberry buffy", and then closed the menu and returned it to the beauty, with a sweet smile.
Gao Min found that Shu Neem's smile was very childish when he was really unguarded, and he looked very pleasing to show his pointed canine teeth.
Looking at Gao Min like a prehistoric monster, how long has it been since he removed his armor and smiled warmly, this kind of pure and harmless appearance is about to become history. She couldn't bear to puncture the soft vibe, smiled lightly, and walked away with the menu.
The beauty is so graceful even when she walks, and her eyes are glued to Jasmine's slender waist and she admires silently.
Gao Min bent his fingers and knocked on the table, and Shu Nee came back to his senses, "Eh, this beautiful woman is yours...... Lover? ”
"You're good, don't talk nonsense, it's the proprietress of the restaurant on the cloud"
"The cloud has always reserved a seat, and you can occupy a seat when you come, which shows that your relationship is extraordinary, otherwise why make an exception for you?"
"I'm friends with the owner and chef on the cloud, and I also have a stake in this restaurant, so I don't have to make a reservation every time I come here to eat."
"Second boss, it's a pity, your friend's wife can't be bullied", Shu Neem lamented.
"Don't be naughty!"
Shu Nem rubbed his arms, goosebumps rose, "Mr. Gao, can you give me a notice before you change your face?" It's so out of your style."
"It's not like it, this is who I am"
"Then your true face is too unfathomable"
I have to say that Gao Min's voice was too Su when he whispered just now, and Shu Neem's fingers curled up when he heard it, if he talked to his girlfriend instead, he wouldn't be numb?
Although Shu Neem is a single dog, she has a matchmaker heart who loves CP, and when she sees a good man and a woman, she can't suppress her desire to match them.
"I think a cold-looking man like you should be matched with a woman with all kinds of amorous feelings, for example, it's a pity that she is actually famous."
"Don't mess around, the mandarin duck spectrum already has a husband, and she's not my favorite type"
It's funny to see Gao Min solemnly deny it, Shu Neem wanted to tease him a few more words, but the pre-dinner snack was delivered, and her attention shifted to the exquisite dishes.
Gao Min introduced it to Shu Neem one by one, "This is a pre-dinner bread, lemon-flavored, can be served with luna foie gras, tuna salad, butter, olive oil, whatever you taste."
Eight dishes were served one after another, the colorful colors were very eye-catching, and Shu Neem pointed to a plate of emerald green vegetables, "What is this, the color is very beautiful, like the leaves that have just sprouted in spring"
Gao Min smiled, "Your imagination enhances the aesthetic value of this dish, this is flounder sashimi, the light color is because it is poured with Japanese white soy sauce sauce, nay, these pieces are not peanuts, they are almonds, and the crystal fish with lime slices and silver onions visually conquers diners!" ”
"I can't bear to spoil this beauty", Shu Neem held the spoon and couldn't do it.
"The cloud focuses on organic green ingredients and seafood, come, often this dish, fruit and pepper crispy crab", Gao Min cut off a piece of orange-yellow crab meat and put it on the plate in front of Shu Neem.
"Thank you", Shu Neem put it in his mouth with a fork, and the sweetness of pineapple dominated the taste buds.
Gao Min likes to watch Shu Neem eat, concentrated, as if he is tasting food with all his heart, and when he eats the food that is right for his appetite, he will stare in surprise, nod his head frequently and give a thumbs up, this positive reaction will drive the appetite of the person who eats together.
"I know this is shrimp, but I don't know where it is, the heat is very good, and the shrimp meat is particularly sweet, crispy and tender", Shu Neem started by himself, and recommended it to Gao Min when he tasted the deliciousness.
"This is Norway's sea shrimp, smaller than lobster, the shell is harder, the meat is elastic and delicious, this dish belongs to you, eat more"
Shu Neem just looked up after eating the shrimp, and another plate of vegetables was pushed over.
"Osaijia sturgeon roe, sea urchin sauce pasta below"
Sturgeon roe is comparable to black gold, Shu Neem put down the knife and fork, raised the spoon and scooped a spoonful into his mouth, feeling the subtle touch between his lips and teeth, and the bite of the caviar had a sweet and fishy smell.
"Don't just eat meat, come, eat some vegetables, warm green black truffle asparagus salad", Gao Min diligently removed the lamb in the neem phase and replaced it with a plate of green vegetables.
Shu Neem protested, "Isn't this just a plate of vegetables, I can't get used to Western-style methods, sweet or salty!" The stomach capacity is limited, of course, I keep eating expensive and uncommon dishes, and I don't know what the year of the monkey is next time I visit the clouds.
Gao Min insisted on his own opinion, and said patiently like a vexatious child: "Green all-natural food, eat it, it's good for the body"
Shu Neem sighed, "If you don't know it, you will think that you are my father!" ”
Gao Min lifted his wine glass and took a sip, the crimson wine lining his slender fingers getting whiter and whiter.
Shu Neem wondered why a big man had such good skin, she looked carefully, her face was smooth and acne-free, and she couldn't even find a black mole, and her lips may have been soaked in red wine, which looked bright and dripping, and in traditional Chinese medicine, this is the body heat conduction. A pampered man like Gao Min probably pays more attention to maintenance, and his brain made up for the scene of him applying grease and powder to the mirror at home, and a chill passed by.
He was indifferent to that kind of big beauty, could it be that he was-
Shu Neem didn't move the fork, Gao Min thought she didn't want to eat, so he personally forked an asparagus and sent it to her lips.
Shu Yu was frightened and swallowed it, chewed it twice and swallowed it, "You are really my child!" ”
Gao Min smiled, "I'm very good at dealing with picky eaters"
Shu Neem pressed his cheeks with both hands and muttered quietly, "The shame is too high, the faces of the eight generations of ancestors have been lost, Mr. Gao, don't do a surprise attack."
Gao Min stared at Shu Neem with her cheeks, her eyes were shining, her face was flushed, and she looked very cute.
"Organic food is just like that, it's no different from the vegetables sold in the market."
"This means that your sense of taste has become dull, additives and excessive fertilization will make the food lose its own fragrance, for example, chickens running in the back mountains to eat insects and chickens fattened with feed on the farm will have different meat quality, and the eggs will taste different."
"Everyone understands the truth, but natural foods are too expensive, who will eat organic at the dinner table of ordinary people? As far as I know, the real organic farm stretches out no more than a slap in the face, the operating cost of growing organic vegetables and grains is too high, it does not mean that you do not apply chemical fertilizers and do not spray pesticides to claim organic planting, the soil improvement period is at least three years, these three years of land vacancy does not produce any profit, but also spend a lot of money to improve the soil quality. The concept of green, environmental protection and low-carbon life is right, the fault is that there is not enough money, even if the money is enough, you can't guarantee that the food you eat in your mouth is absolutely safe, and it is not uncommon for some companies to cheat on environmental protection numbers. ”
Gao Min was very relieved, when he was talking to Chu Xi about business, he put Shu Neem aside, not only was she not angry, but she also paid attention to their conversation and sharply grasped the crux of the problem, which he appreciated very keenly.
"I'll tell Mr. Chu and let him pay more attention!" Gao Min raised his glass.
Shu Neem clinked glasses with him, took a sip of wine, tasted it slowly, then put down the wine glass, picked up the napkin and pressed the corner of his lips, changed his expression to a positive color and asked, "Is Gao always dating me?" ”
Shu Neem's straightforwardness startled Gao Min, and he clenched his fist to his lips and coughed.
"I guess not", Shu Neem asked himself, "so why did Mr. Gao invite me to this luxurious meal?" Sorry because the dinner was so grand that I couldn't help but think about it."
"Maybe I don't have any intentions, I just want to eat and talk"
"Of course you can be friends, but I met Mr. Gao at the end of summer, and now it's only the beginning of autumn, and it seems that I haven't been friends yet."
"Friends are not measured by the length of time together, there is a saying, pour as before, Haotou as new, although we have not known each other for a long time, but for me, it feels like knowing you for a lifetime, and it is probably the same at first sight!"
"Mr. Gao treats me as a friend, you might as well say it bluntly"
"Well, I do have another purpose, but please believe that, other than that, I am sincere to you"
"I have no doubt about Mr. Gao's sincerity, look at the dishes on this table, I have been persuading me to eat and drink, and I have been treated with meticulous hospitality, I have promised to take over my neighbors, can I help with anything else?"
Gao Min smiled and asked, "Do I look like such a snob?" ”
"Is there anyone more snobbish than a hedge fund manager?" , Shu Neem also smiled and asked, "Let's peel off this sweet sugar pill and see what is wrapped inside?" ”
"Misstep, I shouldn't have confused eating with work-"
"Mr. Gao, open the window and say something!"
"What are your plans next, you don't want to take over Aibilin full-time, do you have other career plans? If not, should you consider a position as an analyst at DMC? ”
"Oh, so you want me to work for you...... But I don't know anything about finance, and I even speculate on the stocks I bought."
"I would like to ask you to do PE investment, responsible for finding and evaluating projects, you have done consulting before, and it is more than enough to do this with your ability"
"It's really unfortunate, I might have considered your mention when I just resigned from Chengtou, but I've been thinking a lot lately, I have to do what I like, so I can only refuse this sweet gift package from Mr. Gao!"
"What do you want to do?"
"Back to my old profession, I studied journalism, and the profession of journalist has a charm that will never fade for me, and I will treat it as a lifelong career until my hair is gray."
Shu Neem winked playfully after speaking, Gao Min spread his hands, "Okay, it seems that you can only be friends, I don't know what you think of this mentions?" ”
"No", Shu Neem refused categorically.
Gao Min couldn't hide his disappointment, and asked nervously: "Is my mention too much?" ”
"Be a friend at least until I pay it off, until then, you're my creditor!"
"I told you that the debt you owe is written off!"
