After three years of dormancy, the Gourmet Tyrant was born.

The Nakiri family is indeed wealthy enough, but Erina still felt that Lu Xuanyu's extravagant spending exceeded her expectations.

……

Mito Group headquarters.

Two rows of beautiful female greeters stood at the entrance.

Waiting for Lu Xuanyu and Mito Yumei to get out of the car.

"Hello, Mr. Lu!"

"Hello, Mr. Lu!"

"Welcome, Mr. Lu!"

"Welcome, Mr. Lu!"

"..."

"..."

The moment Lu Xuanyu stepped out of the car, all the beautiful ladies from the etiquette and reception department greeted him.

Mito Ikumi followed behind Lu Xuanyu with an awkward expression:

"Is this... really that exaggerated?"

"I've never seen a company greet people like this before."

Having grown up in the Mito Group, Ikumi Mito has met many important figures who have visited the company for inspections or to discuss collaborations.

This was indeed the first time she had ever seen such a scene.

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

"Welcome, Mr. Lu! You're so welcome!"

"We had only spoken on the phone before. This is my first time meeting President Lu. He is indeed a young talent with an extraordinary presence!"

"President Lu, the ingredients you and Yu Mei mentioned on the phone that you wanted to prepare have been arranged by someone."

"And a special vehicle has been arranged to transport you to Totsuki Academy at any time."

"Mr. Lu, please come inside. I'll show you around."

"Yu Mei has been working as your secretary during this time, and I am very grateful for your care."

"If she does anything wrong, please reprimand her at any time and be lenient with her!"

Mito Ryokawa!

Mito Ikumi's father!

He is also the current chairman of the Mito Meat Products Group.

In the business world, Mito Ryokawa is undoubtedly a first-rate entrepreneur.

Even so, when facing major shareholders, they still have no choice but to be humble and bow their heads.

“Father, I did it very seriously.”

"No...no mistake was made."

Mito Ikumi said stubbornly.

Back then, her father forced her to go to Lord Xuan Yu's side.

Even now, Mito Ikumi has not been able to shake off this feeling.

Although later events proved that Lu Xuanyu was a person worth following through his character.

However, her complaints about her father never diminished.

"Should we be complacent just because we haven't made any mistakes?"

"As the daughter of the Mito family, should passing grades be your goal?"

"Yu Mei! You better get serious and know what you're supposed to be doing!"

Even without making a mistake, you can still be scolded.

It's as if he was born into the family environment of the chairman of a large corporation.

We must not be complacent because of any achievement or any personal preference.

Having finally spent some time by Lu Xuanyu's side, she gradually found inner peace and happiness.

But as soon as I got home, the familiar sense of constraint returned.

"Yes, Father..."

Mito Ikumi lowered her head, accepting Mito Ryokawa's accusations.

"Mr. Mito, actually I was just accompanying Yumi home to visit her and to pick up some groceries with her."

"I don't mean to inspect the company, please don't misunderstand."

"If there's nothing else, I'd like Yu Mei to show me around on my own."

"As for you and the others behind you... you don't actually need to stay with me."

Lu Xuanyu's words were tactful, yet their meaning was clear.

Mito Ryokawa could tell, of course, that he didn't like being surrounded by a group of business people.

"No problem, Mr. Lu is welcome to take a look around."

"Yu Mei, show President Lu around more and introduce each functional area in detail."

"This level of hospitality is certainly achievable, isn't it?"

Mito Ryokawa maintained his fatherly, superior demeanor as he directed his daughter.

"Understood, Father, I know what to do."

No matter how unwilling Mito Ikumi was, she still had to appear capable.

After the two women had walked some distance, Lu Xuanyu said with a smile:

"Looks like you're feeling quite emotional, Little Meat Charm."

Mito Ikumi quickly adjusted her expression and explained:

"Lord Xuan Yu, please don't misunderstand, I wasn't talking to you..."

Lu Xuanyu nodded:

"Of course I know it's not for me."

"You've been working at the company since you were very young, haven't you?"

"Do you have a place specifically for yourself, like an office? A lounge?"

"I want to see it, take me there!"

Lu Xuanyu had absolutely no interest in visiting the company's various halls and equipment rooms.

I stayed behind simply to see where Ikumi Mito had been growing up.

"Eh?"

"Lord Xuan Yu...you are absolutely right."

"I spend more time with my family at the company than at home."

"There is indeed a lounge for me..."

"Really, really, do you want to go see it?"

Mito Ikumi never expected that Lu Xuanyu would stay behind to check on her rest room.

Lu Xuanyu held up the opaque paper bag in his hand and said:

"Yes, we definitely have to go!"

"I brought you a gift, and I put it especially in your room!"

Mito Ikumi's eyes flashed as she looked down at the paper bag in Lu Xuanyu's hand.

She noticed that Lu Xuanyu had been holding it in his hand ever since they got into the car from the far moon.

I just don't know what's inside.

I originally thought it would be his personal item.

To my surprise, it was a gift for her!

……

soon.

Led by Mito Ikumi.

The two arrived at the company's senior management area, which was not the equipment room or conference room.

Instead, they were rows of lounges.

They arrived at the door marked "For Mito Ikumi's Use Only".
