Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Yang Mi seemed to have gone mad, no longer listening to anyone's advice.

Jiang Nian was also quite helpless about this.

"Let's go out to a restaurant to celebrate!"

Yang Mi smiled confidently, stretched, and looked at Jiang Nian excitedly.

"Okay, then let's go in my car."

Yang Mi nodded, took Jiang Nian's arm, and walked like a child, skipping happily while humming a cheerful tune. It was clear that she was in a very good mood.

After all, she's already a multi-millionaire.

Although this 100 million was obtained through a signed agreement.

But at least the money belongs to her now.

After all, who wouldn't get cocky if they received a hundred million right now?
Yang Mi only planned to have a meal at a restaurant to celebrate.

According to Jiang Nian's idea, it was time to splurge a little at a time like this.

Moreover, based on Jiang Nian's understanding of Yang Mi's personality, she would definitely buy all the clothes she had previously been reluctant to buy, and spending a million in a single day wouldn't be a problem.

But this time she surprisingly chose to eat out.

Could it be that I am overthinking it?

Jiang Nian looked at Yang Mi with curiosity.

Downstairs at Yang Mi's company.

Jiang Nian's car was downstairs, so he didn't go to the underground parking lot to get Yang Mi's car.

"Rich woman, where are we going?"

Inside the car, Jiang Nian asked with a teasing smile and a wicked grin.

Yang Mi fastened her seatbelt and looked around.

Because this is a high-end office area, there are also many good restaurants nearby.

Since it's a high-end office building, there will naturally be many companies that need to discuss business.

They naturally need a decent restaurant to conduct business, so there's no need to go far away.

But after thinking for a while, Yang Mi excitedly said:

"Let's go to the pavilion in the lake."

As if confirming her own idea, Yang Mi's eyes lit up:
"Yes, let's go to the pavilion in the lake. I haven't been there in a long time. It feels like a great place to relax."

Jiang Nian nodded:
"Okay, let's go to the pavilion in the lake then."

As he spoke, Jiang Nian drove his Range Rover through the city and arrived at the upscale restaurant, Lake Pavilion, in just twelve minutes.

Jiang had heard of this restaurant before; it was one of the best in the entire city.

It has a lake view that can be visited, and the restaurant has a very comfortable environment.

However, I heard that business at Huzhongting has not been good in the past six months.

Logically speaking, a restaurant with a beautiful view should be popular.

Unfortunately, their main focus is on sightseeing, while their food is somewhat lacking.

Many people here don't even have enough to eat.

Some wealthy people even ordered a table full of dishes, only to find that they had only tasted the flavors and were not full at all.

When questioned, the other party argued that their main focus was on the enjoyment of the environment.

Eat more if you want to be full, and just bear with it if you don't have money.

Because of this incident, the boss was so angry that he mobilized his network to spread the word.

This incident caused quite a stir at the time.

This led to a sharp decline in the restaurant's business, to the point where it was on the verge of closing down.

However, I heard that the restaurant fired that waiter.

But it didn't seem to be of much use, and I heard they're planning to make a move soon.

Logically speaking, any smart person would know to admit their mistake and correct it at this point.

Then there is a chance to salvage one's reputation.

Unexpectedly, this boss is also a great talent.

They actually touted that their main focus was on the enjoyment of the environment, rather than filling guests' stomachs.

Therefore, not many people are willing to come here and be taken advantage of.

After all, when big bosses do business, they hope to have a pleasant meal and drinks with their clients; they certainly don't just want to taste the food.

They even ordered a whole table of dishes, but each dish only contained a few bites.

Some only have a small bite, so how can we share them with customers?

Moreover, their set meals often cost thousands of dollars, but the total amount of food is less than the weight of a cup of water, so big bosses naturally stop choosing such places.

Young people naturally wouldn't come to such places for entertainment.

Because this place emphasizes quiet and comfort, which doesn't meet their needs.

Some people who genuinely desire a comfortable environment for writing or creating may be reluctant to spend hundreds of dollars on such things.

Moreover, the minimum charge for this lakeside pavilion is 100 yuan, and there is only one hour for dining.

However, I heard it has been cancelled recently because there are almost no customers. Even if you sit here all day, no one will ask you to leave.

"Why did you suddenly decide to come here?"

As they entered the pavilion in the lake, Jiang Nian asked curiously.

"Because it's so beautiful here, it's the perfect place to whisper secrets."

Jiang Nian immediately became interested:

"Whispers, interesting."

Sure enough, this girl didn't come here for a meal.

Besides, it's not mealtime here.

We arrived at the pavilion in the lake.

Yang Mi easily found her way to a booth by the deepest part of the lake.

The restaurant here is constructed entirely of wood.

Even the restaurant tables and chairs are mainly made of wood, with almost no stone materials.

I've even heard that the entire building was constructed using mortise and tenon joints, without using a single nail, yet it's incredibly sturdy.

"This is it."

Yang Mi chose a spot by the lake, where the view was very open.

Just sitting in the chair and looking around can inexplicably calm one's mind.

Even now, with no idea what's going on with his own daughter, Meimei, Jiang Nian doesn't seem worried at all.

It seemed that no matter the outcome, it wouldn't affect Jiang Nian's emotions in the slightest.

Jiang Nian also noticed that Yang Mi, who was in front of him, had been pretending to be calm, but was actually very nervous.

But at this moment, she seemed to have truly relaxed.

It was as if the matter of her signing the performance-based agreement had relieved her of her worries.

"It's a nice place."

Jiang Nian praised.

Yang Mi, with her hands folded and resting her chin on them, asked with a smile:
"Jiang Nian, do you know why I wanted to come here?"

Jiang Nian shook his head.

He wasn't really sure what Yang Mi was thinking.

"Actually, when I was signing the performance-based agreement just now, I felt like I was going crazy."

"Because I'm also afraid of failure."

"Just now I was even thinking about going to a bar and treating everyone there to a meal to vent my pain and dissatisfaction."

"But as you know, such spending can easily amount to hundreds of thousands, or even millions, or even tens of millions."

"My 100 million yuan simply cannot withstand the consumption."

"I'm afraid I might really lose control and go there."

That's why I thought I'd come here to relax.

"Indeed, my choice was right."

Yang Mi said proudly, as if she was very satisfied with her choice and decision, which made her even more confident.

Jiang Nian naturally wouldn't expose her at this moment. Instead, he went along with her words:
"Smart choice."

These words seemed to strike a chord with her, and Yang Mi immediately smiled happily.

She stretched lazily without any regard for her image, then propped her cheek with one hand, turned her head to look at the calm lake, and smiled slightly.

At this moment, the restaurant waiter came up with the menu:

"Sir/Madam, would you like to order a set meal or order à la carte?"

The waiter handed the menu to Jiang Nian.

The menu is simple yet features thirty dishes, each with a straightforward name, similar to a bubble tea shop, where most items are beverages.

The desserts were things like pudding, and the pictures were all very beautiful, but what the actual food tasted like was anyone's guess.

It's worth mentioning that, according to Jiang Nian, the pudding here is served in very small portions.

"Give me a pudding and a glass of lemonade, please."

Jiang Nian spoke succinctly.

He didn't mention the fancy names on the dishes, finding them tedious and meaningless.

The waiter was taken aback by the answer, then nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

"Okay, sir."

He certainly wouldn't look down on Jiang Nian.

After all, the Great Xia Dynasty has a population of over a billion, although not everyone knows Jiang Nian.

But now at least 100 million people know that Jiang Nian is a well-known actor.

After all, Jiang Nian has been trending on social media multiple times.

This waiter, however, did not like to pay attention to entertainment-related matters.

But he knew the two people in front of him very well; they were Jiang Nian and Yang Mi.

However, he wasn't quite sure why the two of them were sitting together.

However, he doesn't particularly care about other people's affairs.

Everyone who comes here is an important person; they are not people that a lowly waiter like him can interfere with.

"Madam, what do you need?"

The waiter turned the menu to Yang Mi.

Yang Mi withdrew her gaze from the lake and turned to the menu, this time speaking with a light and refined tone:

"Give me a 'delicate ball shaped sour cherry mousse cake' and a 'blueberry mousse cup'."

"Oh, right! I definitely need another vanilla pudding!"

Yang Mi's eyes lit up, like a little girl, she was especially happy and excited.

It was as if these desserts were precious items that she could only eat once in a long while.

With her abilities, she could easily come here every day.

"Give me another Rémy Martin."

Actually, the name Rémy Martin comes with four more words: Louis XIII.

It's unclear why they chose such a name.

But Jiang Nian had tasted it.

This wine has a sour and astringent taste, but a very delicate texture. It is a type of wine with a low alcohol content, so drinking a few glasses won't cause any problems.

After Yang Mi finished ordering, she looked at Jiang Nian.

"Won't you have a drink?"

Jiang Nian shook his head.

"Ok."

Yang Mi was somewhat disappointed.

She was speechless.

because!

This kind of place is best enjoyed with desserts and drinks.

Then look at the lake, and you'll feel very comfortable.

I'm happy even when I'm alone.

If you have a loved one with you, it's an even more unique experience.

But Yang Mi had never experienced the feeling of being accompanied by her lover before, which is why she specifically chose this place this time.

However, looking at the glass of lemonade in front of Jiang Nian, Yang Mi pouted in dissatisfaction and immediately lost her joy.

"Please, I'm drinking wine and you're drinking lemonade, how are we supposed to clink glasses?"

"This is so boring!"

Seeing Yang Mi's aggrieved expression, Jiang Nian could only nod helplessly in acceptance.

As if he had expected it, the waiter brought over a glass of brandy in less than ten seconds.

Keep in mind that there is a 30-meter distance between the front desk and the booths located at the deepest part of the lake.

It was obvious that the waiters had already prepared everything in advance.

I must say, no wonder she works as a waitress in such a high-end place, she has a really sharp eye.

"Sir/Madam, please enjoy your meal."

After putting down his glass, the waiter didn't forget to give a reminder before turning and leaving.

Jiang Nian looked at the two glasses of wine in front of him and was at a loss for words.

This glass of brandy, also known as Rémy Martin, costs 1,300 yuan, but contains only a mere 80 milliliters.

This means that Jiang Nian can swallow a big mouthful and finish it off.

However, this kind of wine is meant to be savored slowly, which suits the environment, so it's no wonder that even though there aren't many customers, the business is still managing to stay afloat.

The price of just one glass of wine, if a few people come, could probably cover ten days' rent.

As long as twenty or thirty people order a glass of brandy here every month, maintaining the business shouldn't be a problem; whether it makes a profit is another matter.

Soon, the dessert was served.

Jiang Nian finally understood why their store was doing so poorly; the plates were small, only about the size of a palm.

The dessert in the middle is only enough for three bites.

In Jiang Nian's opinion, it's gone in one bite.

This portion costs nearly 300 yuan, while the lemonade is much cheaper at 40 yuan. It's a world of difference, and the taste is actually just so-so.

However, Yang Mi was very happy. She picked up her fork and ate the dessert in small bites. After finishing the dessert, she picked up her wine glass and clinked it against Jiang Nian's wine glass, making a crisp sound.

Yang Mi excitedly raised her glass and drank it down in one gulp.

As a result, he choked because he drank it too fast.

Then I saw her with tears in her eyes and a bitter smile on her face.

It was as if to prevent Jiang Nian from laughing at her for looking like she was about to cry.

Yang Mi raised her head, tilting it at a 45-degree angle to prevent the tears in her eyes from falling.

She looked at the wooden ceiling, blinked her two big, watery eyes, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and pretended to be nonchalant as she smiled:

"Oh dear, I was so excited about making a lot of money that I was so careless. It must be because I haven't had a drink in a long time."

Jiang Nian looked at her with heartache and shook his head helplessly.

This silly girl really takes on everything herself; she doesn't have to work so hard.

That makes sense, though, Yang Mi has no idea how powerful Jiang Nian is right now.

Let her develop according to her own ideas.

Jiang Nian raised his glass and took a sip, feeling the astringent taste flow into his throat, his lips tingling.

Immediately afterwards, a sweet taste emerged, a flavor that was bittersweet.
"interesting."

Jiang Nian swirled his wine glass, watching the wine inside roll like waves, finding it quite interesting.

While Jiang Nian was keeping Yang Mi company, he was also keeping her entertained.

Meanwhile, at Jiang Nian's home.

After confirming that Jiang Nian and the other two girls were not in the villa, Taylor Swift realized that Jiang Nian and the other two girls were not in the villa.

She immediately stood by the window and peered through the crack into the surrounding grass, but found nothing amiss.

"Does the Great Xia National Security Bureau really not know how formidable Jiang Nian is? Are they really just going to ignore him?" (End of Chapter)
