Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 363 Is love truly blind?
Upon seeing the last comment, Gu Zhao was momentarily stunned. He then picked up the documents on the table, flipped through them, and found the explanation regarding the matter.

Fang Yaohui, male, 42 years old, divorced.

Director of XX Group, investor of XX International Fund.

While seeking Taoist teachings and medical advice at Feiyun Mountain a few days ago, I happened to meet Mr. Gu and Daoist Yuzhang who were returning to the mountain to recruit people. Mr. Gu gave me a cup of medicinal tea, which promised that I could remain abstinent for three years until I was eighty years old, and that if I broke the vow, I would never be able to get an erection again, and that the woman I shared a bed with would remain forever young.

Fang Yaohui couldn't resist the temptation and drank the medicinal tea. However, three days later, he had intercourse with the woman he had been with that day, resulting in erectile dysfunction. He then sued the Feiyun Mountain Taoist Temple, demanding that the Taoist priest guarantee aftercare.

"Holy crap, after-sales service guarantee!" Gu Zhao laughed heartily. "He's really something! Isn't he afraid at all?"

Master Yansong also read the document and shook his head with a smile, "After all, the domestic system is the largest, so it's understandable that he did this."

"But the problem is he doesn't value the domestic system." Gu Zhao chuckled and told Daoist Yansong a few words about Fang Yaohui's performance on Feiyun Mountain that day.

Master Yansong nodded in understanding, "I see."

He had been wondering why Gu Zhao had sent this person such a cup of herbal tea, but after hearing Gu Zhao's explanation, he understood. It turned out that this was another guy who made money in China but whose heart was abroad.

"Doesn't he know about the Berkeley videos?" Master Yansong asked curiously.

"Clearly, he's not well-regarded abroad either," Gu Zhao said calmly. "Sometimes I'm really curious how someone like him managed to amass such a fortune."

Master Yansong smiled slightly, “When cognition and wealth are mismatched, Hayek’s great hand will come into play, and the two will be rematched through market relationships.”

"Good heavens! You even study economics?" Gu Zhao teased.

Master Yansong blinked. "That's what the domineering CEO said in the short drama."

Gu Zhao shook her finger, "You're lying to me. The domineering CEO in the short drama would never use such a professional term!"

The two looked at each other and laughed. Gu Zhao turned a page of the document in his hand and saw the outcome of the matter.

The plaintiff failed to provide original evidence; therefore, the lawsuit is dismissed and the case is not accepted.

……

Guangzhou Folk Music Ensemble.

Xiao Ya, Jiang Shishi, and a tall, blonde, blue-eyed foreign girl walked together, attracting a lot of attention.

"Do you guys have any plans for the weekend? Shall we go shopping together?" Eileen invited the two girls. "Or how about we go get hot pot? Spicy rabbit heads are so delicious!"

Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi, "..."

Since her outburst with them, Eileen has been living life to the fullest. Aside from discussing music, she spends her time eating and having fun at Tianxia, ​​never bothering to find out anything.

Then it was as if she had discovered a new continent.

"American cuisine is delicious, but local American cuisine is even better!"

"Wow! Roast duck! Wow! Hot pot! Wow! Sweet and sour pork! Wow! Squirrel fish! Wow! Braised pork belly! Wow! Husband and wife lung... Why is this dish called Husband and Wife Lung Slices?"

"Isn't it a bit too much?" Jiang Shishi questioned. "Gallic cuisine is quite famous worldwide, isn't it?"

“Gallic cuisine is certainly famous and delicious. I personally think it’s even better than Sacred Flavor and Cherry Flavor. These cuisines, along with Tianxia cuisine, are considered some of the world’s major cuisines,” Eileen explained. “But objectively speaking, apart from Tianxia cuisine, all other cuisines are actually overrated.”

"Why?" Xiao Ya asked, puzzled.

Although as a Chinese person she thinks Tianxia cuisine is the best, she doesn't think other countries' cuisines are inferior. At least, high-end savory dishes in China and European restaurants are quite famous.

“Because the territory is so vast!” Eileen sighed. “The eight major cuisines in Tianxia already have very different flavors, and they are all delicious.”

At most, Gaul, Holy Roman Empire, and Cherry Blossom are equivalent to a province within the Tianxia Kingdom. The so-called Gaul cuisine and Holy Roman Empire cuisine are actually equivalent to Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, and Huaiyang cuisine within the Tianxia Kingdom.

Moreover, in addition to the eight major cuisines, other regional cuisines in China also have their own unique characteristics, such as the sweet and sour pork in Northeast China, the big plate chicken in Northwest China, and the roast duck in Beijing.

Therefore, strictly speaking, cherry blossom jelly cuisine is a branch of Tianxia cuisine, while the cuisine that can truly be compared to Tianxia cuisine is actually European cuisine, encompassing all European countries including Gaul, Holy Roman Empire, Weimar, and Iberia.

Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi looked at each other, as this was the first time they had heard this theory, but it seemed to make a lot of sense.

“It’s just that nowadays people like to use national cuisines as an analogy, which is why there’s the saying of the world’s major cuisines.” Eileen shrugged. “Because of the existence of Tianxia cuisine, the other major cuisines have actually been elevated in status.”

If we're really ranking them by type, style, and dishes, Tianxia cuisine should be in a league of its own, with the rest being other cuisines. Gallic cuisine firmly holds second place, while other regional cuisines like Shenluo and Yinggao compete for third.

Jiang Shishi clicked her tongue, "You've made me a little proud."

“But she wasn’t wrong!” a voice chimed in from the side.

"Husband!" Jiang Shishi suddenly turned around and saw Gu Zhao standing not far from the three of them.

"You have time?" Xiao Ya said with surprise, and couldn't help but glance at Eileen.

Although Eileen had already laid her cards on the table and Gu Zhao had said he didn't care, Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi still tacitly avoided discussing Gu Zhao in front of her.

"I have some free time," Gu Zhao said with a smile, then looked at Eileen beside him and nodded in acknowledgment, "Hello."

"Hello!" Eileen responded politely, took a step back, looked at Jiang Shishi, and then glanced at Xiao Ya with surprise.

Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi have boyfriends; not only she, but the entire folk music ensemble knows this, because the two women have clearly rejected all men who have shown interest in them.

However, at the same time, no one in the group had ever seen the two women's boyfriends. They only knew that they had a male friend in Guangzhou who would pick them up from time to time and have small meals together.

Eileen had also heard of this man. He was said to know traditional Chinese martial arts and had become a sensation because of a video he made with two women, which propelled the two women to become major influencers in the Chinese-style music scene.

But no one knows if this man is one of their boyfriends.

However, because Jiang Shishi blurted out in excitement, Eileen now knows that this man must be Jiang Shishi's boyfriend, but why does Xiao Ya also look surprised?

Surely not... no way?

Jiang Shishi is one thing, but Xiao Ya has an incredibly powerful Taoist elder, who, while somewhat handsome, is...

Is love truly blind?
Then, Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi politely declined Eileen's suggestion to go shopping together on the weekend, got into an SUV parked on the side of the road, and sped away.

Eileen, "..."
