Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

When Jiang Shuying mentioned cooking, the first thing Li Shuo thought of was Iwasaki cuisine. He still owed favors to Iwasaki Junko for "Yōhen Tenmoku" and investing in SC. This was much more difficult to obtain than money.

"A Japanese restaurant just opened in front of the drama academy. I heard from students that it's quite high-end. I haven't eaten there yet. Should we go there for lunch?"

"Uh, okay"

"Hehe, what's wrong with you? Why are you so unhappy being with your beautiful teacher? What did you just think of?"

"You won't understand anything about work even if I tell you."

"Tsk, don't forget, I'm still a consultant for Shuoguo Culture."

"Come on, you're a consultant who has never worked a single day!"

"Who said that? When I signed the contract, I went to your Hongqiao headquarters and met Lu Tingyu. Tsk, I heard that she is a junior from the same class? You are always surrounded by beautiful women."

When Jiang Shuying brought up this topic, Li Shuo immediately didn't dare to respond because there was a big issue of "Lu Ailin" between them.

The former couldn't help but curl her lips upon seeing this, but she knew she was no match for her best friend Irene, so she tactfully didn't continue the conversation - after a day of getting along, Jiang Shuying had already figured it out. Anyway, she was going to be the heroine of "A Good Man" in the future, so why should she make things difficult for herself by getting entangled with Li Shuo?

If you like someone, then be brave enough to chase after them, even if they are your best friend, even if it violates your moral bottom line...

Just as I was lost in thought, I suddenly heard a surprised voice calling out, "Jiang Shuying, why are you here?"

Li Shuo looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man and a woman standing in front of the Iwasaki restaurant. They were obviously here to eat. The woman was the one who was talking. She looked at Jiang Shuying with surprise, then immediately walked up to her and took Jiang Shuying's hand:

"Old classmate, how long has it been since we last met? Aren't you abroad? Why are you in China now?"

"Jing Fei, long time no see"

Upon hearing this conversation, Li Shuo roughly knew what was going on: Jiang Shuying and Lu Ailin were classmates. Normally, they should have been the graduating class of the year before last. After graduation, Jiang Shuying went to study in England, which was supposed to take at least three years. However, she couldn't stand it after only one year, and happened to receive an invitation from a teacher at the drama academy, so she came back to be a lecturer on campus.

This matter is not glorious to talk about, so only people who are close to Jiang Shuying know about it, such as Lu Ailin.

The woman named Jing Fei obviously had an average relationship with Jiang Shuying. The superficial intimacy was just a daily routine for everyone in the drama academy. The two chatted for a while at the door. Li Shuo saw that they were endless and interrupted them in a tactless manner:

"Two beauties, it's already the twelfth lunar month. How about we go in and chat? You guys are here to eat too, right?"

Hearing this, Jing Fei's male companion looked at him in surprise, hid his hands in his arms, and secretly gave Li Shuo a thumbs up, meaning: Brother, you are so awesome, you dare to interrupt a woman when she is talking?

It's no wonder he was nervous. As one of the top art schools in the country, the beauties who graduated from the Academy of Drama were all pretty and talented, and they were always followed by a bunch of men.

As for goddesses, their word is theirs. After most men catch them, they hold them in their hands for fear that they will melt.

Jing Fei glanced at Jiang Shuying, not only was she not angry, but she smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Shuying, is this your boyfriend? He's quite handsome, where does he work?"

student?

Jiang Shuying glanced at Li Shuo, who continued, "I don't have a job, so I'll start my own business..."

"That's true. Business is not easy these days. It's better to be a civil servant. Oh, by the way, Shuying, let me introduce you to my boyfriend Jiang Nan, who works in the land and resources department..."

"Hello" "Hello"

Li Shuo shook hands with Jiang Nan and grumbled a few words in his heart about the other party's work department, but he didn't take it to heart: Jing Fei didn't introduce his position, which meant that he was at least not at the leadership level, so there was no need to pay attention to it.

The four of them entered Iwasaki Cuisine, and Jing Fei said first: "Iwasaki Cuisine has sent a VIP card to Jiangnan, allowing him to enter the private room after placing an order..."

Then he turned to look at Jiang Shuying and asked, "Do you know this restaurant at the entrance of our college? It is the most high-end Japanese cuisine restaurant in Lenghai. There are many customer levels in the restaurant. Only those with VIP cards can enter the private rooms..."

Jiang Shuying really didn't know. Upon hearing this, she frowned and said, "Is it so troublesome to enter the box?"

Seeing this, Jing Fei couldn't help but say with a little pride: "Of course, it's mainly because the environment here is good, and the private rooms are divided into four types: A, B, C, D, Tiandi, Xuanhuang, etc. The Japanese are quite fascinated by this. Even the leaders of Jiang Nan's unit may not be able to enter the legendary A-level private room!"

As Jiang Nan walked to the front desk and was about to take out his membership card, Li Shuo's voice suddenly rang out beside him: "Brother, are you in the land and resources department? If I remember correctly, you are the one led by Director Zhang, right?"

Hearing the title of the big boss in the bureau, Jiang Nan's heart tightened, and then he saw Li Shuo rushing to the front desk and said: "Open a private room for us..."

Hearing this, Jiang Nan suddenly felt relieved. He thought that he might have overthought. This person didn't even know the rules of Iwasaki cuisine. He quickly grabbed Li Shuo:

"Um, Li Shuo, let's open a private room here..."

Before he could finish the second half of the sentence "I need a membership card", the receptionist said neatly, "Good afternoon, President Li. There is no vacancy in the Jiatian room today. Can I get you a Jiadi room?"

What? A place with a good location! And from what I heard, Li Shuo could open a place with a good location directly! He didn’t even have to show his membership card?

Thinking of this, Jiang Nan laughed at himself, knowing that he was just a typical ordinary person. Why would someone who could afford a private room at Jiatian need a membership card?

Li Shuo nodded: "It's all right."

"Well, I have already booked a room for you..."

After the receptionist finished speaking, she apologized to Li Shuo, "President, the store manager is not here at noon. We can arrange for Yingzi to accompany you. She is the best musician here besides the store manager. Yingzi, you will be in charge of Box A..."

As the receptionist spoke, a girl in kimono came out. She looked more than 90 points beautiful.

Jiang Nan was stunned by this scene: This Iwasaki cuisine actually has escort service? And it's a beauty of this level, and it looks like she's from Japan!

It was a pity that Li Shuo was accompanied by Jiang Shuying. This woman was extremely jealous. He nodded to Yingzi and said, "Just take us there. No need for accompaniment."

"Okay, President."

Jiang Nan was about to ask what "President" meant when two women came up from behind. Jing Fei glanced at Yingzi and looked at Jiang Nan sharply: "Who is this?"

Jiang Nan was so frightened that he suddenly became alert. Li Shuo next to him said casually: "The waiter of Iwasaki Cuisine left..."

He actually couldn't stand Jiang Nan's behavior in front of Jing Fei: a grown man, a cold-blooded civil servant, how could he be in front of his girlfriend? Didn't he know that civil servants were very popular in the blind date market?

"Hey, why is this place different from the one we came to before?"

The four of them followed Sakurako, walked through corridors, and pushed the door to enter Box A. The decoration design of Box A was basically the same. There was a large entrance hall between the box and the corridor. Jing Fei felt the difference as soon as he came in.

Jiang Shuying hadn't been here, so naturally she couldn't feel it. She just looked at the decoration design and praised it a few times.

"This is Room A!" Jiang Nan whispered to Jing Fei.

Jing Fei suddenly became excited. She thought it was the recipe ordered by Jiang Nan, and she pushed the door and entered the box as if she were the hostess.

Looking at the spacious private room, Jing Fei's eyes were extremely bright, but she said to Jiang Shuying reservedly: "It feels good, right? This is the most high-end private room of Iwasaki Cuisine. To be honest, Jiang Nan is in charge of a big event recently. I guess the people here want to curry favor with him, so they deliberately arranged it this way."

This was purely her imagination. Jiang Nan felt anxious when he heard it, but he knew that his girlfriend was very proud. And this was in front of her "old classmates". If he exposed her now, she would definitely get angry. For a moment, he could only look to Li Shuo for help.

Li Shuo saw all these little thoughts and comparisons, and thought they were funny. He didn't take them too seriously. He just asked Jiang Nan with interest, "Jiang Nan, what big thing are you responsible for? Can you tell us about it so we can learn more?"

"Well, there is indeed something. It is about a project at the Academy of Drama, but the project has not yet been approved and is kept confidential." Jiang Nan greeted him apologetically.

Li Shuo instantly had a hunch: the only project related to the Academy of Drama could be "old house renovation".

He narrowed his eyes and did not continue asking. Then, Jing Fei fully demonstrated the spirit of "host", picked up the menu and handed it to Jiang Shuying, and said: "Old classmate, it's been a long time since we last met. Come on, order something. It's my treat today..."

Just as Li Shuo guessed, Jiang Shuying's relationship with her was really average, and since they met, he could always feel Jing Fei showing off everywhere, as if to say: You were the school belle when we were in school, what about now? Isn't it because I'm better and my boyfriend is better?

Jiang Shuying couldn't get angry about such a small matter, but she wasn't a hypocritical person. She took the menu and handed it to Li Shuo: "Hey, look at her boyfriend. He can order such expensive dishes at will!"

Li Shuo pretended to smack his lips and said, "Yes, 6888 for a serving of sashimi, this is really generous!"

"What?" Jing Fei was stunned.

Jiang Nan, who was feeling the pain, was afraid that Li Shuo and the others would order something casual, so she quickly explained, "No, no, no, Miss Jiang, I dare not take credit for it. Mr. Li is much better than me. To be honest, with my status, I cannot enter this A-box. I usually only eat in C-box with my boss. This time I can come here, all thanks to Mr. Li."

"Ah? Didn't you mean..."

Jing Fei finally reacted belatedly and looked at Li Shuo in surprise.

Li Shuo waved his hand nonchalantly and explained to Jiang Shuying, "Iwasaki Cuisine is a branch opened by Miss Iwasaki. You know, she is my friend, so I still have some face here."

He repeatedly asked for leave for the matter of Yohen Tenmoku, and once told Jiang Shuying some of the stories about Iwasaki Junko.

“So this is the shop she opened!”

Seeing Jiang Shuying's sudden realization, Jing Fei felt itchy inside. She really wanted to know who the so-called Miss Iwasaki was? How could she be so famous? What was going on with her boyfriend Li Shuo?

But Li Shuo would not show off these things, and Jing Fei's boyfriend Jiang Nan, because he saw that Li Shuo was important, repeatedly approached Li Shuo during the meal:

"Li Shuo, the front desk calls you president. This should be the name that Japanese people use to refer to their bosses, right? It seems like your business is quite big."

"Okay"

"What business is Mr. Li in?"

"Well, I do everything. I've been very interested in real estate lately. Maybe we'll have opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"Really? It's my honor. Come, let me toast you..."

Seeing Jiang Nan actually took the initiative to toast Li Shuo, Jing Fei was furious: I asked you to give me face, why are you bowing to others on your own initiative?

If a man can’t do it, just attack the target directly.

Jing Fei looked at Jiang Shuying: "Shuying, long time no see, why did you return to China?"

"Um, I came back for some personal matters."

"What private matters? Oh, sorry, I shouldn't ask about this... Are you going to stay in the country for a long time, or leave after finishing your business? I see your boyfriend is also from Lenghai, right? You should stay in the country for a long time? If you stay, shouldn't you find a job?"

Seeing that Jing Fei had left Jiang Shuying speechless, Li Shuo felt unhappy and decided to strike hard to prevent the two people who met by chance from ruining his date.

"Ms. Jing Fei, I'm not from Lenghai, but my business is in Lenghai. Ying'er is now the art consultant of my company. My monthly salary is probably more than 5."

"What? More than 5? What company are you from?"

"Shuoguo Culture. Since Miss Jing Fei graduated from the Academy of Drama, you should have heard of it."

"Huh?! It's Shuoguo Culture, the company that took the project from Century Huayue! You are..."

Jing Fei actually knew Shuoguo Culture, and the look she gave Li Shuo was full of shock.

Li Shuo did not hide anything and said directly: "My name is Li Shuo, and this fruit is randomly named after my name..."

Jiang Nan shuddered all over, not even noticing that the Japanese sake in his cup had spilled. He stared at Li Shuo with wide eyes and said haltingly, "So, you are the founder of Shuoguo Group? This... how is it possible... I... that..."

After all, he was a civil servant. After realizing that he had lost his composure, he took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I didn't expect to see you here. Today I saw the "Planning and Arrangements for the Upgrading and Reconstruction Project of the Old Buildings on the Main Street of the Drama Academy". Um, this is a red-headed document. You may not know it, but we have discussed it privately in our department. I have heard your name a lot recently!"

Having said that, he immediately stood up, picked up the wine glass, and gulped down three glasses of wine: "I'm sorry, I should have remembered it a long time ago, but you are too young, I really don't dare to think that you are the founder!"
