This ti, the dinner was arranged at Tan's Private Kitchen, the most luxurious in Lin'an City.
Though the na Tan's Private Kitchen sounds unremarkable, it is a rather upscale private restaurant.
This private kitchen is one of the priciest in Lin'an City!
The restaurant only serves two tables a day, one at noon and one at night. In Lin'an City, plenty of wealthy people pay to queue but still can't get a spot.
Thus, dining here is a symbol of status.
Lu Yu had heard about Tan's Private Kitchen long before the changes in the Lu Family. Now, standing at the door, he looked at Leng Qingqiu beside him and remarked, "Looks like the other party is investing heavily by booking here; they must be very sincere."
"Not all who drink are interested in wine alone."
Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu replied calmly. Her tone toward Lu Yu no longer carried that icy indifference, subtly mingling with emotion.
Lu Yu chuckled at her words and then said, "Despite all the talk, I still don't know who invited you this ti?"
Lu Yu's voice carried a trace of humor, giving an impression of teasing.
"It's Zhang Boyong and his son, Zhang Yaowei."
Upon Lu Yu's inquiry, Leng Qingqiu's beautiful eyes slightly shifted, and she spoke with a sense of restraint, clearly disliking these two individuals.
"Zhang Boyong and Zhang Yaowei?"
Lu Yu was slightly taken aback and then said, "I haven't heard of them; they probably aren't local to Lin'an City, right?"
"No."
Leng Qingqiu shook her head at Lu Yu's words and said, "They are from an overseas technology company, developing abroad for years. Once, they had a very good relationship with my father."
Her words were filled with restraint: "And this ti, they are likely returning for discussions on cutting-edge technology product collaborations."
"So, are they here to reap the rewards?"
After hearing Leng Qingqiu's introduction, Lu Yu roughly understood the situation.
The Victory Group had secured a collaboration with Newman Group, thus holding a distinct advantage in cutting-edge technology products.
Therefore, it was likely that Zhang Boyong and his son were eting with Leng Qingqiu to discuss this matter.
As the saying goes, with tea and wine co many brothers; when in distress, not a single soul is seen.
When you are unremarkable, few care about you, but once you rise to prominence and can bring benefits, those people will flock to you like dogs, begging for favor. This, Lu Yu understands profoundly.
"You can say that."
Leng Qingqiu nodded slightly, the words carrying a restrained tone.
"Alright, then let's et this Zhang Boyong and Zhang Yaowei."
Lu Yu's words resonated with restraint, yet possessing a subtle smile.
Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu nodded and directly took Lu Yu's arm, gradually taking steps towards the quaint Tan's Private Kitchen.
As they arrived at the entrance of Tan's Private Kitchen, two clean, tall, and handso attendants approached and said, "Are you Miss Leng? Please present your invitation."
Despite its modest size, Tan's Private Kitchen has many rules. Every guest must present an invitation; otherwise, entry is absolutely prohibited.
At this, Leng Qingqiu, holding Lu Yu's arm, handed over the invitation directly.
The attendant took the invitation, inspected it carefully, and returned it respectfully while addressing Lu Yu, "Sir, could you please show your invitation?"
"I don't have an invitation," Lu Yu stated truthfully.
"He's my fiancé, accompanying here."
Upon hearing the attendant's words, Leng Qingqiu replied, her tone sowhat chilly.
She hadn't known beforehand that Tan's Private Kitchen had so many botherso rules.
But now, these botherso rules had made Leng Qingqiu sowhat angry. Lu Yu was helping her, and she did not want him to endure embarrassnt due to this.
"Just a pretty boy."
Upon hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, the two attendants disdainfully thought to themselves, while outwardly saying, "Sorry, Miss Leng, Tan's Private Kitchen has strict rules. Custors without invitations are not allowed inside."
At this, Leng Qingqiu looked at the two attendants and then spoke, her tone now carrying more chill, "He's my fiancé, and I want him to accompany inside."
"Sorry, Miss Leng, this gentleman truly cannot co inside; these are the rules."
The two attendants said softly.
"In that case, relay to Mr. Zhang for that I will not attend and ask him to choose a better place next ti!"
Saying this, Leng Qingqiu took Lu Yu's arm and began walking away.
Her action was entirely in the style of a decisive businesswoman, clean and direct, refusing to waste ti. She hadn't wanted to co in the first place, and faced with this situation, she simply turned around and left.
Seeing Leng Qingqiu's action, the two attendants were stunned, montarily frozen in place.
They hadn't expected Leng Qingqiu to act this way.
Bear in mind, they were specifically instructed by Zhang Boyong to attend to Leng Qingqiu. If she left because of them, then they naturally wouldn't have a pleasant outco!
"Miss Leng, please wait!"
Seeing Leng Qingqiu and Lu Yu turning away, the two attendants spoke, "We are willing to change the rules for you; this gentleman can accompany you inside."
Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu raised her eyebrow, her stunning face emanating a sense of aloof detachnt.
Seeing this, Lu Yu smiled slightly and remarked, "Looks like Zhang Boyong and Zhang Yaowei value you greatly."
Clearly, if Leng Qingqiu's status was insignificant, these attendants wouldn't risk violating Tan's Private Kitchen's rules to let both her and Lu Yu enter.
Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Yu, the aloof atmosphere montarily dissipating, and she said, "But they aren't important to ."
Her words restrained, yet inevitably tinged with emotion.
Lu Yu shook his head slightly with a smile, looking at Leng Qingqiu, "If that's the case, then let's go inside."
Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu nodded, then took Lu Yu's arm, and they walked into Tan's Private Kitchen.
