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…
