The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 213, "Meng Shen's Dietary Classics" (4k)

"what's the situation?"

The woman gently stirred the tea egg in the porridge bowl with a spoon, while gesturing towards where Tian Xiwei was.

"Sister Tong, I heard that the young man is the chairman of this five-star hotel, a super-rich A10 level. Yesterday, when he came to inspect the hotel, he happened to run into Director Zhang and his team who were on their way to the film set, and they had a brief interaction."

The assistant sitting in front of the woman hesitated slightly as he said this: "However, I'm not sure how he and Tian Xiwei met, whether they knew each other before or just now."

"Please talk to Sister Lan about this later and ask her to pay more attention to it."

The woman wearing the baseball cap is none other than Zhou Yutong, a female star who made a special appearance in the film "Half-Mature Men and Women".

"what?"

Is this necessary?

The assistant was somewhat surprised and subconsciously asked.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

Zhou Yutong glanced at her assistant, her tone cold.

"No no no!"

"Sister Tong, I didn't mean to teach you how to do things."

The assistant quickly waved his hand: "I'm sorry, I'll report this to Sister Lan immediately."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yutong's expression softened slightly.

She gently picked up the bowl of porridge and ate it slowly, saying softly, "There are rumors that Tian Xiwei is also very interested in the role of Ya Ya in the movie 'Little Me' and is trying to get an audition opportunity."

"The Little Me is an inspirational film about caring for people with cerebral palsy in society. This film was made with the aim of winning awards. If I can use this film as a springboard to enter the film industry, it will be of great benefit to me."

"Moreover, this movie also has top idol Yi Yangqianxi as the lead actor, and the remaining important roles are all played by veteran actors in the industry. If I can get the role of the third female lead Ya Ya, it's basically a sure win. In the end, I can win the popularity, awards and word of mouth."

After listening to Zhou Yutong's explanation, the assistant understood why the other party was so concerned.

Such a golden opportunity must be being watched by countless people.

Do you know the most essential descriptive words for the character Ya Ya?

Zhou Yutong counted on her fingers and said in a low voice, "Youthful and beautiful, full of vitality and vigor, don't you think that based on these words alone, the role of Ya Ya is more suitable for Tian Xiwei than for me?"

Hearing this, the assistant didn't dare to respond at all. Although she did think so in her heart, she dared not say the truth.

"Hey……"

"Forget it."

"I can only suffer on my own again."

"After I get back to Yanjing, I'll have to talk to my godfather again."

Zhou Yutong sighed, her expression slightly bitter.

At the same time, looking at Gu Heng's handsome face and then at Tian Xiwei's smiling face, she suddenly felt very unbalanced.

'Oh shit! '

'Could this young, domineering CEO really be Tian Xiwei's new backer?'

'Everyone else has a godfather, but you found a younger brother?'

'Aren't you eating a little too well?'

"Eating so well, how can you sleep at night?"

Without comparison, there is no harm.

Looking at Gu Heng, and then thinking of her "white-haired, wrinkled" godfather, Zhou Yutong couldn't eat a single bite of the porridge in her hand...

……

Tian Xiwei was unaware that Gu Heng's sudden appearance had already alerted Zhou Yutong. At this moment, looking at the energetic and bright-eyed Gu Heng, she was filled with admiration.

They were both drinking, and both drank until 3 a.m.

It took Lu Ya a lot of effort to finally wake her up from bed, while Gu Heng was probably already working with his subordinates by then.

Despite being so successful, they remain so disciplined and hardworking.

How could Tian Xiwei not admire this?

"Is this special effects makeup?"

Gu Heng looked at the many "freckles" on Tian Xiwei's cheeks, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Yes."

Tian Xiwei smiled brightly, her tone slightly arrogant: "Because the character I play in this drama is an ordinary girl, and I'm naturally pretty, I can only use special effects makeup to slightly conceal my good looks~"

"So that's it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng smiled slightly: "However, I feel that your special effects makeup is a bit mediocre. The concealing effect is minimal, and it even makes you look cuter."

As Gu Heng finished speaking, a makeup artist who had worked diligently all morning quietly shattered.

Tian Xiwei glanced at Rou Rou, who was sitting opposite her, her expression slightly strange, and her lips were trembling with suppressed emotion.

"Ta Tata..."

As the two were talking, a series of footsteps suddenly came from a distance.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw more than ten staff members from the Beichun Junlan Hotel carrying food boxes bearing the hotel's logo, walking briskly toward Gu Heng.

"Chairman Gu!"

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Gu Heng.

"Just find two empty tables and put them down."

Gu Heng raised his hand, gesturing to them.

"Yes."

The crowd responded, and then they placed the food containers neatly on an empty table not far from Tian Xiwei.

"This is……"

Tian Xiwei's round almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, her expression somewhat bewildered.

“Last night I was worried you wouldn’t be able to get up this morning, so before I went to bed I notified the catering department to prepare some tea and desserts in advance, so you wouldn’t miss breakfast in the morning.”

"Later I thought that if you were eating all by yourself while you were on set, it would be a bad influence, so I asked the catering department to make some extra food so that you could share it with the other staff members on set."

At this point, Gu Heng smiled and shook his head: "Who would have thought you would actually get up this morning? But these tea snacks and desserts are already prepared, so we can't just throw them away and waste them. You can take them to the film set later and keep them as snacks for your crew during breaks."

Because of the fact that other members of the film crew were sitting at the two tables in front of and behind Tian Xiwei, and they had already been listening intently for a while, they could no longer hold back after seeing Gu Heng's actions and hearing his words.

"Wow!"

"Chairman Gu is so thoughtful!"

A girl covered her mouth and gasped in surprise; her eyes were clearly wide with fascination.

"This morning's sweetness level is off the charts!"

"But I must try the tea, snacks, and desserts that Chairman Gu sent!"

Another girl chimed in.

"Shhhhhh!"

"Keep your voices down!"

"Don't disturb the other diners!"

Although Lu Ya was also speechless with delight, she still tried to be mindful of her image and gave a few words of advice to the young girls at the tables in front of and behind her.

At this moment, Tian Xiwei's beautiful face was completely flushed.

She blinked her watery eyes, her gaze towards Gu Heng filled with a hint of shyness and sweetness: "Thank you, Chairman Gu, and thank you on behalf of the production team."

Remember to give me feedback!

Gu Heng raised his hand and gently patted Tian Xiwei's head: "If the response is good, our hotel's food and beverage department may add some of these snacks and desserts to the menu for breakfast and afternoon tea in the restaurant."

Tian Xiwei felt the warmth from Gu Heng's large hand, and her already flushed, beautiful face turned even redder when Gu Heng gently stroked her head.

"Okay~"

"I remember!"

Tian Xiwei tilted her head back. Even from her angle, Gu Heng's jawline was still perfectly defined, and his slightly bobbing Adam's apple exuded masculine charm. Although she was much older than Gu Heng, she felt like a little girl in his presence. The feeling of being protected and pampered by Gu Heng was like opium, driving her crazy.

"Then I'll get back to work."

"If it snows in Beichun in the next couple of days, I'll contact you then."

After the paparazzi incident last night, the two talked for a long time.

As a girl from Sichuan and Chongqing, Tian Xiwei had never seen snow before, so Gu Heng promised her last night that if it snowed again before she left Beichun, he would take her out to play.

"Uh-huh!"

Tian Xiwei nodded emphatically, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

"gone."

Gu Heng waved to Tian Xiwei and then left with Dong Qiming and Yan Feng.

As soon as Gu Heng left, Lu Ya's face appeared in front of Tian Xiwei, her eyes burning with such intense gossip that it was almost palpable.

"Tell me the truth immediately. Was your meeting with Chairman Gu last night just a simple drinking session?"

Lu Ya lowered her voice and spoke rapidly: "Judging from your performance just now, I would believe you even if you told me you two were already dating!"

"I……"

"I'm not full yet!"

Tian Xiwei was a little shy, and her eyes darted around.

"Don't eat it."

"Save some room in your stomach."

Lu Ya teased, "Your boss Gu brought you so many tea snacks and desserts, shouldn't you try some later? They're all from your boss Gu's heart!"

"That's right..."

Tian Xiwei blinked, only realizing what was happening belatedly.

"Say it quickly!"

Lu Ya urged.

"Hey!"

"We'll talk about it once we're on the bus!"

Tian Xiwei gave Lu Ya a look.

"Row!"

"Confess the truth now!"

Lu Ya understood Tian Xiwei's meaning and realized that now was not a good time to discuss this matter, so she had to put the matter aside for the time being.

Meanwhile, Gu Heng, along with Dong Qiming and Yan Feng, continued their inspection.

In the next two days, he will visit all ten departments of Beichun Junlan Hotel, just like when he first took over Zhencui Group and visited all the restaurants under Zhencui Group.

This is similar to a new official taking office whose first task is to conduct in-depth research at the grassroots level. He may not know the people below him, but they cannot be unfamiliar with him.

"Chairman Gu..."

As soon as Gu Heng stepped out of the restaurant, Zhong Hua came to greet him.

"You said."

Gu Heng gave Dong Qiming and Yan Feng a look, and the two immediately stepped aside, giving the two enough space to talk.

"I just got a call from Chu Zhengnan. They've already warned that paparazzi. He took the earliest high-speed train to Beichun today, without alarming the authorities or causing any further trouble."

Zhong Hua lowered his head and reported in a low voice, "In addition, we have carefully processed the hotel's video surveillance to ensure that no trace will be left."

"Um……"

"I see."

Gu Heng nodded slightly, his expression remaining unchanged throughout.

Using Chu Zhengnan against a mere paparazzi is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

If the other party couldn't even handle this simple matter, Xingchuan International's music business reception room and large-scale high-end bath center would probably have already changed hands long ago.

"Go to the front office."

As Gu Heng finished speaking, Dong Qiming quickly followed, while Yan Feng stood in front of the restaurant door, bowing slightly to see Gu Heng off, his lowered eyes full of respect.

……

Three days later.

Late at night, Cloud Zun Sky Restaurant and Bar.

Gu Heng stood behind the central bar counter, his eyes sparkling with joy.

"Tell your General Manager Huang that I have to leave first."

He greeted the bartender beside him, then hurriedly walked out of the central bar and headed outside the Cloud Bar.

In the past few days, Gu Heng has spent most of his time inspecting the Beichun Junlan Hotel during the day and continuing his in-depth research at the Yunzun Sky Restaurant and Bar in the evening.

In total, it took more than a week.

Just now, he finally completed the challenge he had been working on since August.

[Challenge Mission: Refining Character and Tempering the Mind]

[Task Status: Completed]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: Growth Gift Pack x1]

Do you want to claim your reward immediately?

Gu Heng quickly descended to the underground parking lot and boarded the Bosu minivan that had come to pick him up.

Facing the system light screen that swept out in front of him, Gu Heng took a deep breath and then silently chose to extract.

Recalling the last time Gu Heng completed the challenge mission "Self-Satisfaction," the growth gift pack that his "system father" rewarded him with contained physical gold bars worth over 200 million and an invaluable sports talent card.

"This time..."

What will I get?

Gu Heng was filled with anticipation.

Once the system sensed Gu Heng's intentions, the growth gift pack was immediately activated.

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: "Meng Shen's Dietary Classics"]

【"Meng Shen's Dietary Compendium": Written by Meng Shen, a famous Tang Dynasty physician and the founder of traditional Chinese medicine diet therapy, it is derived from the world-renowned dietary therapy classic "Dietary Therapy Materia Medica." It is a comprehensive compilation of ancient Chinese medicine diet therapy and contains 81 long-lost traditional Chinese medicinal diet recipes.】

As the growth gift pack was successfully opened, its specific rewards were revealed to Gu Heng.

"The Meng Shen Diet Manual?"

"81 long-lost traditional Chinese medicinal diet recipes?"

Gu Heng looked slightly surprised; he hadn't expected such a reward to be included in this growth gift pack.

At this moment, a phantom book icon appeared on the system's light screen.

Just as Gu Heng gently touched the virtual book icon with his mind, a massive torrent of knowledge instantly flooded into his mind.

A physician must first thoroughly understand the cause of the illness, know what has afflicted it, and treat it with food. If food therapy fails, then medication should be prescribed.

……

Grains nourish, fruits assist, meats benefit, and vegetables replenish; when their flavors and properties are combined and consumed, they replenish essence and boost energy.

……

Eat cool foods in spring, cold foods in summer, warm foods in autumn, and hot foods in winter; this is the principle of eating appropriate foods in each of the four seasons.

……

Countless ideas about traditional Chinese medicine dietary therapy flashed through Gu Heng's mind.

Because this flood of knowledge was so vast, and because he had not prepared beforehand.

For a moment, Gu Heng almost fainted from the shock...
