Chapter 327: Eating Dog Food
They walked to the counter together. Tang Zhiyun said to Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao, “Teacher Little Wu, Junior, what do you want to eat?”
He took a pen and notebook. “Take a look first. I’ll write it down.”
The two of them started looking at the wooden tablets. Chu Luo pointed at a few dishes, Wu Yiyao also ordered a few, and then the boys ordered.
After ordering, Wu Yiyao looked at the dozens of dishes written in the notebook and said worriedly, “Did we order too much?”
“Haha, Teacher Little Wu, don’t worry about this matter. We have huge appetites.”
“Exactly. Especially since I’ve been walking around the school this afternoon, I’m already famished. I think I can eat a cow now.”
The few of them were amused by Wang Mingtao’s exaggerated words.
Just as they finished ordering, Boss Xiong walked out with a pot of tea and a few teacups on a tea tray.
He first placed the tea on the dining table before walking over and asking, “Have you ordered?”
“Yes.” Tang Zhiyun handed him the notebook.
Boss Xiong took the notebook and glanced at it before saying to them, “Sit and wait for a while. You can also walk around. I’ll go to the kitchen to cook immediately.”
After saying that, he took his notebook and walked back.
As he watched the boss leave, Wang Mingtao widened his eyes in disbelief. “Could the boss be a chef too?”
Xie Mingtao nodded. “Obviously.”
“This Boss Xiong is really an extraordinary person. He was the only one who received us when we came to eat. He even knows how to cook now. Is he the only one in this shop?”
“It’s possible.”
Wang Mingtao and Xie Minghai looked at each other. Xie Minghai asked, “Why don’t we go to the courtyard in front and study those rockery?”
“Agreed.” Xie Minghai had the same idea. He asked the others, “Are you guys going?”
Yu Lei nodded. “Let’s go. I’ll go too.”
The other four didn’t go.
Chu Luo reminded them as they went out, “You can look, but don’t touch anything.”
“Got it, Junior.”
The three of them left with their arms around each other’s shoulders.
Xu Qingfeng walked to the table and sat down to play with his phone.
Tang Zhiyun asked Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao, “Teacher Little Wu, Junior, the dishes will take some time to cook. Why don’t we take a walk in the courtyard? I see a chessboard there. Why don’t we play chess?”
After saying that, Tang Zhiyun winked at Chu Luo.
A trace of a smile flashed across Chu Luo’s eyes. She said seriously, “Go ahead. I want to see who defamed me today. I’ll take this opportunity to play with them.”
After saying that, she sat down on the bench and took out her phone, ignoring them.
Tang Zhiyun looked at Wu Yiyao expectantly. “Teacher Wu, why don’t we go out and play chess?”
Wu Yiyao smiled and said, “I only know how to play Gomoku[1].”
“Then let’s play Gomoku.” After saying that, he added, “Actually, I also only know how to play Gomoku.”
Chu Luo and Xu Qingfeng glanced at him at the same time, then lowered their heads and continued to scroll through their phones.
Wu Yiyao didn’t notice their reaction. Thinking that it would be boring sitting here, she nodded.
The two of them walked out of the door.
Chu Luo glanced at the two of them from the corner of her eye, pursed her lips, and continued tapping on her phone.
She first hacked into the company that the reporter was in today and checked that boss’s private matters. Then, she realized that there were many videos and photos that could destroy a person inside.
Chu Luo pulled a long face and permanently removed these videos and photos. She also uploaded some of the evil deeds that the boss had done on the Internet.
In a few minutes, everyone who saw the thread exploded.
“D*mn! Indeed, there aren’t many clean people in the entertainment industry!”
“The boss of this entertainment company is too dirty!”
“Get rid of him! This kind of person is a scum in society!”
…
After watching the show for a while, Chu Luo hacked into the website that had defamed her. It was a group of professional haters. These haters were obviously instructed by someone. Chu Luo hacked into their system and quickly checked the transaction records. Soon, she found a clue.
“Pfft…” She sneered and wiped off all her traces.
“Junior, have you found out who made these haters defame you?”
“Mm.”
“Just tell us what you need us to do.”
“No need for the time being.”
Just as Chu Luo finished speaking, approaching footsteps and Wang Mingtao’s excited voice could be heard from outside. “Brother Chu, you have no idea how impressive Sister Chu’s painting was today. Not only did the people from the Education Bureau want it, but the President of the Painting Association and Imperial College also wanted it.”
Li Yan finally responded with an “Mm”.
When Chu Luo heard his voice, she put away her phone and looked at the door.
The few of them walked in quickly.
Chu Luo looked at Li Yan with her sparkling eyes and smiled.
Li Yan’s cold face instantly softened. He walked to Chu Luo’s side and sat down.
Chu Luo handed him a cup of tea. “Dinner should take a while more. Have some tea first.”
Li Yan took the teacup and took two sips before putting it down.
This table was neither big nor small, and it was just nice for two people to sit at it.
Chu Luo and Li Yan sat on one side, Yu Lei walked straight to Xu Qingfeng’s side, and Xie Minghai and Wang Mingtao sat on the other. In the end, Tang Zhiyun could only sit with Wu Yiyao.
After they sat down and discussed today’s competition, Li Yan asked Chu Luo, “Who do you plan to give that painting to?”
“Sister Chu said that she won’t give it to anyone,” Wang Mingtao immediately replied.
Chu Luo glanced at Wang Mingtao and said to him, “There are so many people there who want my painting. Of course I said I won’t give it to anyone.”
“Uh… Then, Sister Chu, are you really going to give away the painting? The price on the Internet has reached 60 million yuan.”
“Wrong,” Xu Qingfeng corrected. “It’s already reached 100 million yuan.”
“Tsk…”
Other than Chu Luo and Li Yan, the others were all shocked.
“Junior’s painting has already been bid so high!”
“Junior, are you really not selling that painting?”
“No.” Chu Luo blinked and asked, “Do you think 100 million is a lot?”
The few of them were about to nod when they remembered Li Yan’s identity. In their eyes, 100 million yuan might be just chump change.
“No, no. Actually, I don’t think Sister Chu’s paintings should be tainted with the vulgarity of money.”
“That’s right. Junior’s painting is a priceless treasure. Why should we sell it?”
Chu Luo was amused by Wang Mingtao and Xie Minghai’s words. She said, “When the time comes, I’ll give the painting to Imperial University, since it’s a painting of Imperial University to begin with. I’ll put it in the art college to motivate the students there.”
“Pfft… Junior, why do I feel that you’re a little evil? If you do that, those students from the art college will be suppressed by you forever.”
Chu Luo looked innocent. “How could that be? As long as they work hard enough, it’s not impossible for them to catch up to me. Yan… don’t you think so?”
“Mm.” Li Yan responded and took the cup of cold tea from her. He handed her his cup and poured her a cup of hot tea from the teapot.
Chu Luo smiled at him and took a sip of tea.
The six people sitting at the side were caught off guard and ate a mouthful of dog food[2].
Wang Mingtao covered his face with his teacup and said to Xie Minghai, “Oh no, I want to find a girlfriend to date too.”
Xie Minghai slapped his shoulder and said in dissatisfaction, “I haven’t even found a girlfriend. Why are you, a child, looking for one? Do you know what it means to respect the old and love the young?”
Wang Mingtao: “…”
So respecting the old and loving the young could be used like this!
After waiting for another ten minutes, the boss walked out with a large tray.
After he put down the dishes, he said, “Dear guests, please eat first. More dishes will be served later.”
Wang Mingtao was really hungry. He asked, “Boss, do you have rice? Can we get some rice?”
“Yes, wait here.”
With that, he went to the back and quickly brought out a basin-sized wooden bucket of rice.
“Wooden bucket rice. I haven’t eaten it in a long time. It smells so good.”
After Boss Xiong placed a wooden bucket of rice on a stool beside him, Wang Mingtao stood up to scoop up some rice.
Seeing that they were scooping the rice themselves, the boss didn’t stand on ceremony and went to the back.
After the meal, besides bringing them the food, the boss actually didn’t appear.
The food was delicious, so delicious that the boys were stuffed.
Wang Mingtao, Xie Minghai, and Yu Lei collapsed in their chairs.
At that moment, Boss Xiong sent them another pot of tea and said, “This is a tea to help with digestion. You can drink it before leaving.”
After saying that, he placed the tea on the table and left.
“Hey, why is Boss Xiong leaving again? If we leave directly later, will he not know?”
Everyone looked at Wang Mingtao.
Wang Mingtao chuckled and said, “I’m just giving an example.”
He then stood up to pour a cup of tea for each of them and handed one to Li Yan with both hands. “Brother Chu, have some tea.”
“Thank you.”
“No need, no need.”
Wang Mingtao placed another cup of tea in front of Chu Luo.
The others carried the tea over themselves.
The few of them chatted casually for a while before Li Yan asked Chu Luo, “Luoluo, do you want to go back?”
Chu Luo nodded.
At that moment, Boss Xiong walked out from behind as if he knew they were leaving.
He said, “You guys spent a total of 18,000 yuan tonight. Cash or credit card?”
Li Yan took out a card and handed it to him.
Boss Xiong took the card to the counter and swiped it before returning it to him. He said, “Guests, take care.”
After saying that, he actually didn’t have the intention to send them out. He simply stood there without moving.
