Be reborn and be happy to the fullest
Chapter 477: Pretending to be cool? Met Li Shuo
"Yu Chengcheng, when I first heard your name from Huang Yuyao, I almost mistook you for someone else." Li Shuo said.
Yu Chengcheng's face changed slightly, and his eyes rolled around: Of course he knew Li Shuo's reputation, the newly rising eldest son of Lenghai, a person who even wanted to win over his young and promising cousin Yu Chengcheng and cousin Yu Nuannuan!
However, the first time Yu Chengcheng heard of Li Shuo was because of Lu Ailin. When he was pursuing Lu Ailin, he had fought fiercely with Lu Liang several times. The two had won and lost alternately, but because he lost patience and confessed to Lu Ailin in advance, he was rejected and was swept out of Lu Ailin's team of lickers early.
Later, Yu Chengcheng heard that Lu Liang suffered a great loss at the hands of a new young master named Li Shuo, so he was like a thunderbolt to Li Shuo!
"Really? My name is indeed quite ordinary... Li Shuo, has the food been served? Let's go in and talk..."
Yu Chengcheng changed the subject again and tried to pull Li Shuo inside.
Li Shuo dodged, thought about it, and felt that this was quite interesting, so he did not continue to "confess his identity".
The two entered the private room, and immediately heard Huang Yuyao say angrily: "Where have you been? The ice on the sashimi is about to melt..."
Yu Chengcheng smiled and said, "No need to wait for us, you can eat first."
Huang Yuyao wrinkled her nose, and Tian Miaomiao spoke for her: "Who is waiting for you? Li Shuo, come here quickly..."
This was a great loss of face for Yu Chengcheng. Even if it was a lesser-ranked young master, he would have exploded if he heard such words. However, Yu Chengcheng knew that Li Shuo had a great reputation, so he easily endured it and went in with a smile.
Looking at the seats, among the three girls, only the seat next to Bai Lu had one, but it was obviously Li Shuo's. Yu Chengcheng finally chose the empty seats at both ends of the table.
Just as he was about to sit down, Bai Lu said, "Um, Mr. Yu, please close the door..."
The Koten private room of Iwasaki Cuisine is very large. There is a foyer at the entrance, and inside the foyer are two wooden sliding doors separating the dining area. The innermost side is the dining area. Perhaps in order to wait for the two people to come in, the sliding door was always open.
However, such trivial matters are usually done by the person with the lowest status at the table. Bai Lu's voice made Yu Chengcheng very dissatisfied.
He was just an idle young man, and he was not good at hiding his likes and dislikes. After closing the door, he sat down and said:
"Bai Lu is so beautiful, she must be a goddess in school, right?"
Considering the current situation, the implication is actually "Goddess, you are too bossy."
Bai Lu raised his eyebrows and said stiffly, "Huang Yuyao is the goddess. I am just Li Shuo's little follower... What? I asked you to close the door. Is that a disgrace to you, a rich young man?"
"No, no, no, I don't mean that." Yu Chengcheng waved his hands quickly. In front of Huang Yuyao, he still had to be graceful.
"It's good that you didn't mean that. Huang Yuyao might think you're too stingy..."
Seeing Bai Lu's sarcastic remarks, Huang Yuyao quickly said, "It's just a small matter, everyone, please stop talking... Yu Chengcheng, thank you for bringing us here and letting us experience the Koten private room of Iwasaki cuisine..."
"Yuyao, why are you being so polite to me? Just enjoy your meal here..."
Yu Chengcheng's face was full of excitement. It was the first time that he called Huang Yuyao by her name. Then he started talking a lot, bragging about how great Iwasaki cuisine was and how rare the Koten private room was...
"Look here, the scenery outside our window is also very particular. Water is used as a conveyor belt, and some ordinary dishes can be taken directly from the window..."
"Also, the Jiatian box is equipped with the best Japanese classical music, and someone will come to perform later..."
Li Shuo and Bai Lu had actually seen these things at Iwasaki Cuisine Caoshan Restaurant, but Huang Yuyao and Tian Miaomiao had not. After all, the two girls were young and their eyes lit up when they heard them. In this kind of atmosphere, even the most ordinary food would taste delicious, not to mention that this place was newly opened and the ingredients used would naturally not be bad.
Only Li Shuo took a bite and thought the taste was just so-so. He had a very picky palate. He had tasted the fact that the dishes made for him by Chef Yoshino, the number one chef of Iwasaki cuisine, did not use the top-quality air-freighted ingredients. In comparison, although it was now a private room of Koten, the ingredients used were still not top-quality air-freighted fresh-keeping products.
At this moment, Huang Yuyao looked at him and asked, "Li Shuo, what do you think?"
Her eyes held a hint of boasting and eager anticipation: Yu Chengcheng was pursuing her, but she just treated it as a normal thing, and when she heard there was something delicious, she agreed to come over and take a look.
It was originally quite simple, but there was the interference of the male god Li Shuo: since the Grand Prix, Li Shuo has been deified among the students. Huang Yuyao didn't say it, but she was actually very happy every time she saw Li Shuo. But Li Shuo "ignored" her every time and messed around with women like Bai Lu and Feng Linlin.
This made Huang Yuyao feel: Li Shuo, can't you see me? Am I not beautiful?
Hence the current show-off, which is essentially the same as a peacock spreading its feathers.
Li Shuo really didn't understand this. In his eyes, Huang Yuyao was the bright and dazzling super internet celebrity of the future, so when he saw her slightly "provocative" look, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself: Huang Yuyao wouldn't really like Yu Chengcheng, right?
"Well, the environment is very good..."
He mumbled something, and Huang Yuyao smiled and said, "Not only is it good, this is the best dining place I've ever been to..."
Yu Chengcheng had a reserved smile on her face, but she was actually very excited: That was Young Master Li, and here he was "slapped in the face" by me!
He felt that Huang Yuyao's favoritism towards him was a slap in Li Shuo's face.
At this time, Bai Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't ever say it's the best, because there are too many beautiful things in the world, and you can't experience them all... Shuo Ge'er and I have been to many places. In my opinion, the layout here is indeed novel, but it has too many traces of artificiality..."
As she spoke, she held Li Shuo's arm and said in a tender voice, "It's not as good as the time we were on the cruise ship!"
Li Shuo would think of the cruise trip with Bai Lu, that was the day when they knew each other's information and were spiritually honest with each other.
Thinking of this, he smiled knowingly and said, "It's a good thing you still remember that day. I prepared a lot of food, but unfortunately I didn't eat much in the end..."
"Food is not important, who you are with is important. The so-called environment itself is for people to appreciate. As long as you are around the right people, everything will look the best!"
Bai Lu said something philosophical in a serious manner, which resonated with Tian Miaomiao. She shouted excitedly, "Well said, Xiaobai. I didn't expect you to be so literary..."
Huang Yuyao's mood instantly dropped. She agreed with Bai Lu's point of view that Yu Chengcheng, who kept showing off around her, was definitely not "the one" she wanted.
At this moment, a charming voice came from outside: "Excuse me, may I come in?"
Yu Chengcheng was stunned and explained to everyone: "It's the exclusive musician of Jiatian Box... But from the sound, it turned out to be the store manager himself..."
Bai Lu frowned and said, "Well, he's just a store manager, there's nothing to be proud of."
Yu Chengcheng paused, ignored Bai Lu, and looked at Huang Yuyao, explaining softly, "I'm not showing off intentionally. The manager of this restaurant, Miss Kurokawa Miho, has an extraordinary family background. She is the eldest daughter of the Kurokawa family in Japan, and was also selected for the Iwasaki family's global revival plan. Although she is just a restaurant manager, she is multi-talented and is actually a Japanese artist."
Huang Yuyao asked curiously: "Iwasaki family? Is it the first family in the folk legend of Japan? So Iwasaki cuisine comes from here!"
Yu Chengcheng smiled and said, "Yes, Iwasaki Cuisine is opened by this family..."
Having said this, he said "Come in" to the outside, and then pushed the door open, and Kurokawa Miho appeared in front of everyone with two maids.
After a while, Kurokawa Miho changed into a light blue kimono with beautiful petals, which made her look younger and more immature than the formal and mature one just now. When she entered the door, she bowed to everyone and then said, "Excuse me, this is a Japanese marbled Wagyu steak specially given by our restaurant. It was marinated and seasoned by Chef Yoshino of the head office. After it was baked over charcoal, it was immediately packed into an insulated box and sent to me. Now the temperature is just right, please enjoy it."
As she spoke, two maids brought a large mahogany plate and placed it on the dining table. If nothing else, just this large plate alone would make anyone familiar with Japanese cuisine stunned: When did Japanese cuisine become of this weight?
Looking more closely at the food on the table, there were five servings of Marbled Wagyu beef, served on a wooden tray, with plates of various condiments and side dishes next to it!
Yu Chengcheng's eyes widened as well, and she asked in surprise, "These are five whole portions of Wagyu beef, right? Miss Kurokawa, you are really spending too much money. This set meal is probably enough to cover all the expenses for tonight's meal!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Yuyao and Tian Miaomiao exclaimed in surprise. They had naturally heard of the name of "Japanese Marbled Wagyu Beef", but had never thought that this thing would be a "gift". Moreover, judging from its current appearance, five servings were given away at once!
Even Li Shuo blinked, knowing that he could no longer hide it: Kurokawa Miho's gift was obviously too much. The gift from that restaurant was a main dish? And it was the most expensive main dish.
As expected, Kurokawa Miho immediately looked at Li Shuo and said respectfully, "We didn't know President Li was here before, so we neglected him, so we specially prepared this main dish. As I said just now, this was specially made by Chef Yoshino of the head office. He knew that President Li had many complaints about Japanese cuisine, so he specially made these five steaks as compensation... In addition, Miss Iwasaki asked me to tell President Li that she would pay for your consumption in the Koten box tonight, and I hope to get your consent."
What?
What the hell?
Everyone was stunned by Kurokawa Miho's words.
Especially Yu Chengcheng, he blurted out:
"Li Shuo actually knows Miss Iwasaki? Miss Kurokawa, are you sure? He..."
He wanted to say, "Although he is Mr. Li, he is not as familiar with Miss Iwasaki as he is, right?"
But then he remembered that he didn't know Li Shuo's identity, so he stopped talking in time.
Huang Yuyao stared at Li Shuo. Although she did not understand the weight of Kurokawa Miho's words, she could feel that in her eyes, Li Shuo was a much more powerful VIP than Yu Chengcheng. At this moment, her curiosity about Li Shuo had been aroused, and she was eager to peek at Li Shuo's true appearance.
Tian Miaomiao had similar thoughts, but she seemed even more ignorant. She asked in confusion, "Where is the headquarters of Iwasaki Cuisine? Who is Chef Yoshino? Is he very good? And who is Miss Iwasaki? Do you know Li Shuo?"
In comparison, Bai Lu was the calmest person, because in her heart, Li Shuo was omnipotent, no matter how awesome he was, it was not surprising, so at this moment, she actually teased with interest: "Shuo'er's 'many complaints' about Japanese cuisine, I'm afraid it's because the portions are not enough, right? That's why the chef made a very generous steak and sent it to me. I just don't know who Miss Iwasaki is? Shuo'er, do you have another woman behind my back?"
Li Shuo glared at her and said, "What do you mean by going behind your back? Miss Iwasaki and I are just acquaintances. You're making it sound like we have some shameful relationship."
"Hmph." Bai Lu curled her lips and muttered, "Didn't all the women you knew end up in your harem?"
The voice was not loud, but most people in the box heard it. Tian Miaomiao didn't react, but Huang Yuyao lowered her head guiltily.
On the other side, seeing the chaos in the box, Kurokawa Miho realized at the first moment that these people might not know Chairman Li’s identity, and she might have accidentally leaked it!
She immediately bowed to Li Shuo in fear and trepidation, saying, "I'm sorry, President Li, it seems that I came at the wrong time, I..."
Before she could finish, Li Shuo waved his hand and said, "No need to apologize. These are all my classmates. They actually know who I am, but they don't know that I know Ms. Iwasaki... By the way, I heard from Yu Chengcheng that you are a versatile Japanese artist. Do you have time now? Can you show us your skills?"
Kurokawa Miho then smiled: "Of course!"
It was obvious that she was prepared when she entered the box. After she finished speaking, the two maids beside her immediately lifted the white sand curtain on one side of the box. Kurokawa Miho walked in and picked up an antique instrument that looked like a guitar. Li Shuo found it very familiar, but he couldn't remember its name for a moment.
Kurokawa Miho sat on the ground, smiled at everyone, and introduced: "Now, please allow me to perform for you, the ancient Japanese song - "Sea of Spring"..."
Then, slender fingers began to play on the instrument.
This was a piece of instrumental music. Although it sounded very pleasant, Li Shuo obviously did not have the ability to appreciate it. He looked around and saw Bai Lu, Huang Yuyao and the others sitting upright with expectant looks on their pretty faces. He nudged Bai Lu with his elbow and whispered, "Hey, aren't you going to eat anymore?"
Bai Lu glared at him fiercely and said in a low voice, "This is a performance of ancient Japanese music. Miss Kurokawa is using the Liuqin, a classical instrument that is rarely used and extremely difficult to play. It is an opportunity that many ordinary people will never have in their lifetime to appreciate such elegant music. How can we waste it just because of eating?"
However, by the time she finished speaking, Li Shuo had already cut the steak.
Li Shuo took a bite, his mouth full of saliva, and the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth. He looked intoxicated, then looked at her with innocent eyes, and raised another piece of meat with his fork: "Do you want a bite?"
