Chapter 1289: Good Times With Big Shot Businessmen

Before Gu Nianzhi could ask further, the automatic fire sprinkler system connected to the smoke alarm was activated.

Poof!

A waterfall of water gushed out from several sprinklers installed on the roof, and completely drenched Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu.

The kitchen, which had appeared exquisite and beautiful just a moment ago, now looked like a fire scene in a downpour.

The automatic sprinkler system quickly dispersed the thick smoke in the kitchen.

The flow of the water gradually slowed down, and He Zhichu rushed out of the kitchen with Gu Nianzhi.

The two of them glanced at each other at the kitchen door, then started laughing at the same time.

He Zhichu’s smile was still very reserved, but the corners of his lips curled up, and his cold expression softened slightly.

On the other hand, Gu Nianzhi was laughing so wildly that with her hands clenching her stomach, she could barely stand up.

When she laughed like that, He Zhichu couldn’t take it anymore.

He grabbed her arm and scolded her in a low voice, “What are you laughing about? Go wash up and change your clothes! Look at yourself!”

He Zhichu looked away awkwardly after he finished speaking.

Gu Nianzhi’s laughter stopped abruptly.

She looked down and saw that the light pink silk and cotton cardigan she was wearing today was soaked through. It stuck to her body and outlined the contours of her breast...

She quickly covered her chest with her hands and ran to the bathroom with her head lowered.

He Zhichu rubbed his forehead and called out to her, “Go to the guest room across from the master bedroom on the second floor. It’s prepared for you. There’s a set of clothes to change into.”

Gu Nianzhi stopped in her tracks. She couldn’t just wear this. She turned around and ran up the spiral staircase leading to the second floor.

The corridor on the second floor was quiet and deep. There was a window at the end of the corridor, and a hexagonal window hung with a lamp. A paper lampshade in the shape of a full moon hung in the air and gave off a desolate vibe.

Gu Nianzhi glanced at the lampshade in a hurry and pushed open the door across from the master bedroom.

The room was very large and also a small suite. A small living room and living room was outside, and a small entrance was to the right.

A paper door blocked the other end of the hallway.

Gu Nianzhi opened the paper door and realized that she was in the bedroom.

Thankfully, this wasn’t the pink princess room.

The decoration of the room was very simple and elegant. It was mainly beige and decorated with pale yellows.

A blanket with a yellow duck embroidered on it was casually placed on the big bed.

The blanket didn’t look big, but Gu Nianzhi found it surprisingly familiar.

But she didn’t have time to think about it too deeply, so she rushed into the bathroom in the bedroom.

The toiletry products in the bathroom were also brands she usually used, including the snow-white towel on the cabinet. It was also made of Egyptian cotton flannel, and was very soft and absorbent.

She took off her clothes, turned on the water in the shower, and quickly took a shower.

She wrapped herself in the towel and came out, then carefully examined the bedroom again.

There was a tall four-poster bed, and the beige sheets with thin stripes were neatly laid out. There was a big soft pillow on the bed, and two soft yellow pillows embroidered with little yellow ducks.

Like she was possessed, Gu Nianzhi walked over and touched the little yellow ducks embroidered on the pillows.

The little yellow ducks weren’t much different from the ones sold on the market besides the fact that their eyes were exceptionally large, so they looked particularly animated.

She picked up the blanket with the duckling embroidered on it and looked at it.

The blanket felt soft, and was probably made from the finest high quality cashmere. It wasn’t easy to embroider things on this kind of blanket, and if one wasn’t careful, the blanket’s cashmere would fly out of the thread.

But this duckling’s embroidery was very cleverly done, and the needle and thread were dense. At a glance, one could tell that it was made from the hands of one who had many years of embroidery experience.

However, it was a waste to use such amazing embroidery skills for sewing a simple and unadorned little yellow duck.

Gu Nianzhi secretly cursed inside, but couldn’t help picking up the blanket and rubbing it against her face.

It was just like a blanket children would hug when they were sleeping.

Gu Nianzhi reluctantly put down the blanket and walked into the closet in the bedroom to pick out some clothes to wear.

It was obvious that He Zhichu had put a lot of thought into renovating the room.

The four walls were covered with wooden closets, shoe racks, and there were clothes and shoes for spring, summer, and autumn.

There was also a long closet in the middle of the closet that was about half the height of a person.

Opening the closet drawer, Gu Nianzhi saw that it was filled with underwear, scarves, belts, and other private clothing and accessories.

There was also a drawer with a lock, but Gu Nianzhi didn’t touch it.

She blushed and took out a set of lingerie. She went to the summer wardrobe and picked out the simplest set of black T-shirt and light blue leggings.

Her legs were long, so the jeans barely reached her ankles.

So she picked out a pair of Isabel Marant’s flat white sneakers.

This was a brand she was used to. The casual shoes that Huo Shaoheng bought her were usually of this brand.

After she was done packing, she came downstairs and saw that He Zhichu had already changed and was standing at the bottom of the stairs.

There were even people coming and going in the house.

Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows.

She hadn’t seen anyone else here when she had come.

He Zhichu turned to look when he heard someone coming down the stairs. His bright almond-shaped eyes flashed slightly, but he quickly relaxed his eyebrows and asked airily, “Do they fit?”

“They’re alright.” Gu Nianzhi walked down. “It’s just that the pants are a little short.”

He Zhichu: ” ... ”

“Don’t you wear this size? ” He Zhichu remembered Gu Nianzhi’s clothing size.

” ... I used to be, but now I’ve grown taller again.” Gu Nianzhi stuck out her long legs in the air and kicked.

He Zhichu: ” ... ”

“What’s there to be proud of? ” He Zhichu looked away, folded his arms, and said coldly, “What’s the use of growing taller? Go cook if you’re really capable... ”

Gu Nianzhi: ” ... ”

This was the unspeakable sore spot in both their lives.

He Zhichu didn’t know how to cook, and coincidentally, neither did Gu Nianzhi.

Their talents didn’t seem to include the skill of “cooking”.

Gu Nianzhi laughed. “Professor He, we’re both ‘inept cooks’. Why do we have to hurt each other’s feelings? Come, it’s my treat. What do you want to eat, Professor He? As long as it’s not a Manchu–Han Imperial Feast, I can afford it!”

“A Manchu–Han Imperial Feast only costs 40,000 to 50,000 yuan per seat. You can’t afford it? ” He Zhichu glanced sideways at her. “Pawn your watch there and you can eat it dozens of times.”

Gu Nianzhi covered her watch and shook her head. “I can’t do that. This is my priceless treasure. Even if I don’t have any food to eat, I won’t pawn it.”

“Are you stupid? If you don’t have any food to eat, how would the watch matter? ” He Zhichu rubbed her head. “... Didn’t you blow dry your hair?”

“The weather’s getting hot, so it’ll be dry soon. I’ve already wiped it half dry.” As she pointed at the people walking back and forth between the kitchen and the living room, Gu Nianzhi asked, “Are they here to clean up the kitchen? ”

He Zhichu said without batting an eye, “Yes, the kitchen needs to be redecorated.”

That was the scene of his failure, and he needed to “destroy the evidence” so that no one else could see it.

Gu Nianzhi instantly understood He Zhichu’s thoughts. She laughed to herself and flipped the car keys in her hand. “Professor He, take my car. We’ll go down the mountain to eat, okay?”

If she hadn’t come today, she bet ten bucks that He Zhichu would have gone to bed after finishing his red wine.

He Zhichu took a few steps forward. “Then can you send me back?”

“Of course, I’ll pay for everything. Professor He, please enjoy yourself today! ” Gu Nianzhi giggled as she walked towards the door.

The two of them went to the garage to get their cars. Gu Nianzhi really did drive the car and went down the mountain with He Zhichu for dinner.

They didn’t go far.

The facilities in the west mountain villa area were very well-equipped. The people living here were either wealthy or well-off. There were restaurants, shopping, fitness, and leisure facilities.

He Zhichu pointed the way and said, “Let’s go to that Luhuitou restaurant. It’s a Cantonese restaurant, and the seafood there is very authentic.”

Gu Nianzhi, who was famished, almost drooled when she heard this.

“Then you have to try it later. Why didn’t you tell me there was such a good place? Do they deliver the order? You could have ordered takeout... ” Gu Nianzhi deliberately glanced at He Zhichu and sighed.

He Zhichu looked ahead with a blank expressionand said airily, ” ... Eat your food. You talk too much.”

Gu Nianzhi: ” ... ”

She smiled and drove the car into the parking lot. Together with He Zhichu, she arrived at the entrance of the Luhuitou restaurant.

There was a couplet on the door in red with black words.

“Here could be heard the table-talks and laughters of renowned scholars, but the rough and gross come not hither their wares to sell..”

Gu Nianzhi: ” ... ”

This restaurant sure was confident!

With a straight face, He Zhichu showed his membership card to the uniformed security guard.

Only then did Gu Nianzhi realize that the membership system was in place, and only members were allowed in to eat.

And He Zhichu’s membership card was the highest-end platinum card.

As soon as he showed his membership card, the manager of the restaurant immediately came over to personally welcome him and Gu Nianzhi.

“It’s the same old place.” He Zhichu said lightly. “Serve the dishes as soon as possible for us.”

The manager’s eyes sparkled, but he didn’t dare refuse. He smiled and said, “Please follow me. There are too many people today, so please order first. Actually, Mr. He, why did you have to come here in person? Just give us a call, and we’ll send the dishes up for you.”

He Zhichu nodded, and his facail expression slightly softened. “Next time. Give us the menu so that the kitchen can prepare faster.”

He could tell that Gu Nianzhi was already very hungry.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, she saw the delicious dishes on the tables of the diners. Her eyes were practically shining...

The restaurant manager called the waiter over to help them order the dishes. He hurried out to make a phone call, then said to the person on the other end of the line, “I’m sorry, Miss Cai. There are no private rooms available today. Would you like to eat in the lobby? I’ll save the best room in the lobby for you. It’s right next to the window. I’ll get someone to screen it for you. It’s better than a private room. It’s bright and you can see the scenery outside.”

The person on the other end of the line seemed to be a little impatient. After discussing with the person for a while, he complained, “Didn’t you say that there was a private room? My friend and I have something to discuss. We’ve already walked to the entrance of your restaurant. Now you say that there are no private rooms? Are you kidding me?”

“Miss Cai, I’m not kidding you. Previously, I also said that there was only one private room left. That was a private room reserved for our platinum customer. No matter when, as long as he needs it, we have to give it to him. Today, I thought he wouldn’t come. Unfortunately, he just brought someone here to eat and entered the private room, so we have to aggrieve you.”

The manager of the restaurant said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

The people who came to eat here were all high-ranking and wealthy?

Didn’t you see what was written on their door couplet? !

There were scholars chatting and laughing, and no one there isn’t of status!

In fact, it should be: good times with big shot businessmen, no one there isn’t of status...
