Seeing the beauty of a combination of Chinese and Western styles, in an instant, Xia Ning understands what is called “brightening the house by one’s presence” .
Because of her, the whole room becomes shining, as if it is infused with the energy of life .
Gu Luan gives the woman a hug and makes an introduction, “Pingping, let me introduce to you . This is Yin Jingyao, a daughter of Mayor Yin of B City . This is my sister . This is Commander Yi from C Military Region and this is his wife, Xia Ning . Everybody, this is my old friend for years, the owner of Yijunxuan, Zhou Wenping, a real beauty . ”
“Ah . Director Gu, what are you saying? I can’t be called a real beauty . Look, which one sitting here is not a real beauty? Are you making fun of me?”
“Who dare make fun of you?” Gu Luan laughs, “Look, you have a houseful of guests on the first day of opening . Your restaurant can definitely become the representative of catering in C City in the future . ”
“Haha, Director Gu, you are a sweet talker . I feel happy to talk to you . Anyway, thank all my friends . Without you guys, I can’t even open the restaurant . ”
“It is our pleasure . Pingping, you just take it . ” Gu Luan pauses, “Pingping, I have invited these people for you here . And I really appreciate Commander Yi, who spares some time to come here . Pingping, how will you hospitality for that?”
Zhou Wenping glances at Yi Yunrui . She blinks her slanted eyes, “It is the opening day for my restaurant . This meal is on me . If my distinguished guests feel the dishes here not bad, please come again in the future . ”
“Pingping, I may feel embarrassed about that…”

“You feel embarrassed about many things!” Zhou Wenping winks at Gu Luan and then she turns to others, “Everyone, I have a little request . Would you please give me your honest comments after dinner? Then I can make further improvements . Especially,” Zhou Wenping pauses here, “Especially Commander Yi . I heard a long time ago that Commander Yi is a gourmet!”
Hearing this, everyone is shocked . Is Yi Yunrui a gourmet?
Xia Ning is surprised . She then at once has a strange feeling .
She is not surprised that Yi Yunrui is a gourmet . After all, Hokkaido Sushi restaurant and Lung King Heen hotel are two international grade restaurants . What makes her feel surprised is that how could Zhou Wenping know that Yi Yunrui is a gourmet?
Does Zhou Wenping know that the two high restaurants are owned by Yi Yunrui?
“Well . Pingping,” Gu Luan reacts first, “No wonder that you insist in inviting Commander Yi to come . It turns out you have the plan . Why didn’t you tell me at the beginning?”
Zhou Wenping smiles, “Commander Yi is a famous person in C City . I don’t want to cause any rumors to him . ”
Gu Luan lifts his eyebrows, “Did you know each other before?”

Gu Luan asks the questions for all the people there . Zhou Wenping smiles, “What’s the surprise? In C City, who has no interests in the three brothers of Yi Family? There is a saying called “grapevine” . Director Gu, you understand it . ”
Gu Luan smiles helplessly . He nods, “Well . I understand it and I may stop being confused . However, it really surprises me . ”
At the time, Manager Kong comes in and says something in a low voice by Zhou Wenping’s ear . Zhou Wenping says, “Everybody, it is late . Why don’t we get the dishes served?”
Hearing this, Gu Ruoruo widens her eyes and continuously nods . She is almost starving to death .
The catering philosophy of Yijunxuan is to focus on the special family dishes all over the country to meet different demands of people from different areas . Based on the family dishes, they add some high-grade catering culture and offer the customers with high grade service in middle grade prices .
The dishes for them are specially ordered by Zhou Wenping herself . The first served dish is the soft-boiled chicken, then, stewed pork with taro, stir-fried green vegetable and black mushroom, steamed white pork, steamed mandarin fish, stewed goose with three cups of sauces, sweet and sour spareribs, stir-fried crab with ginger and scallion, braised beef brisket with radish and fried Sanxin spring onion rolls, followed by a bowl of cordyceps chicken soup .
The dishes don’t seem to be very high end, but all of them are famous Cantonese home dishes . Looking at the whole table of dishes, everyone’s appetite is roused .
Xia Ning happens to like them all . There are so many dishes . She puts some into her mouth while her eyes are caught by others .

Yi Yunrui is aware of Xia Ning’s excitement . He helps to pick food for her . In a while, the bowl in front of Xia Ning is full of foods .
Yi Yunrui’s consideration to Xia Ning makes Yin Jingyao envy . She puts on a false smile, “Commander Yi is very considerate . But, Xia Ning, you really eat a lot . If you continue to eat like this, your body will be out of shape . If you get fat, you will be laughed at by other people when you walk with Commander Yi in the future . ”
Yin Jingyao’s sudden words sound very uncomfortable . Xia Ning swallows the food in her mouth, “I believe that my husband doesn’t care . He said that he liked me to be plump . Isn’t there a saying? If the wife is too thin, people tend to believe that the husband bullies the wife? Thus, I think we can get easy at it . ”
Not expecting that Xia Ning will talk back like this, Yin Jingyao is stuck and can’t say a word in an instant .
At the time, Gu Luan picks a piece of mandarin fish for Yin Jingyao, “Miss Yin, have more fish . It is good for health . It can also beautify skin . ”
Yin Jingyao curls her lips . She looks at the mandarin fish in her bowl for quite a while and doesn’t respond .
Instead, Gu Ruoruo says, “Commander Yi, Sister Xia, will Brother Yi mind my getting fat? I am a real food aficionado . ”
Hearing this, Xia Ning and Yi Yunrui can’t help laughing . Xia Ning says, “You Silly, our second brother is not that kind of person . Don’t worry . Darling, am I right?”
Yi Yunrui nods, “All our three brothers like our women to be plump . That will be cute . ”
Gu Ruoruo widens her eyes in surprise, “Really? That is great . I don’t need to diet . Haha . ”
“Dieting is unnecessary, but you can’t eat too much . Come on . Wipe your mouth . ” Gu Luan says and passes a tissue to Gu Ruoruo .
They are enjoying the food when Zhou Wenping comes in, “My distinguished guests, do you mind my sitting here?”
Gu Luan glances at everyone and responds, “Of course not . What instructions does the boss have?”
Zhou Wenping says, “Director Gu, you are making fun of me again . I come here to ask for your comments and suggestions on these dishes . ”
“Delicious . They are delicious . I like them very much . ” Gu Ruoruo compliments first .
“Thank you, Ruoruo . There is a dessert to be served later . I hope you will like it . ”
“Seriously? Wow . Thank you . ”
Zhou Wenping glances at them and her eyes stay at Yin Jingyao . She blinks her eyes, “I wonder whether Miss Yin has any comments on the dishes of Yijunxuan . ”
