Rebirth 05: From Coal Mine Owner to Mobile Phone Tycoon

Lu Yuan looked towards the doorway with a puzzled expression, feeling unable to enter the normal cooldown state after being forcibly interrupted during his spellcasting.

It was a helplessness that came from the inside out, truly like punching the air with all your might, hurting yourself before hurting anyone else.

Zhou Mei quickly stood up and tightened her bathrobe, which had been loosened by Lu Yuan's thrusting.

"I'm sorry, I saw you were busy and I was worried you wouldn't have time to eat, so I ordered room service to bring food to your room."

Lu Yuan smiled, not wanting to disappoint the goddess, and while adjusting his bathrobe, he used his sword-concealing technique to hide the peerless weapon.

But it was indeed inconvenient to get up, so I could only sit and wave my hand.

"It's alright, it's alright. I was starving too, I almost exhausted myself last night."

Zhou Mei rolled her eyes at Lu Yuan. "Whose fault is it?"

Lu Yuan chuckled to himself, thinking that a goddess is a goddess, even her eye-rolling was beautiful.

But suddenly, Lu Yuan felt something was wrong with him. If this continued, he was starting to become a simp.

No, no, I promised myself I'd have women by my side, but no women in my heart.

Zhou Mei tugged at the hem of her bathrobe again to make sure she wasn't exposed at all before walking towards the door.

Unlike Lu Yuan's gloomy expression, Zhou Mei was actually quite pleased.

Firstly, she could genuinely feel her own charm and its attraction to the young man in front of her.

Secondly, this little brat really puts all his energy into me, and I both like him and feel sorry for him.

I have to treat him to something good today.

The door opened

A waitress was standing at the door, followed by a young man in a white chef's robe and a bowler hat, pushing a two-tiered food cart.

When the waitress saw that it was Zhou Mei who opened the door, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes, but she still maintained her professional smile.

It is clear that the waiter has received very professional training.

When the waiter saw a completely unfamiliar man in the room, his surprise lingered for only a second, and his professional smile faltered slightly.

Although Zhou Mei has rarely appeared in the public eye in recent years, her dramas are still frequently rebroadcast, and many people rent or buy DVDs to watch them.

In addition, Zhou Mei had already accumulated a huge following.

It's indeed easy to recognize Zhou Mei at a glance.

Moreover, Zhou Mei made no attempt to conceal it.

But Zhou Mei has always been known for having zero scandals, so who is this guy who suddenly appeared?

Moreover, judging from their attire, it's clear they have a close and unusual relationship; otherwise, who would meet in a hotel wearing bathrobes?

And maybe they were already in the room last night.

I seem to have stumbled upon some big news: the most beautiful Zhiruo is already taken!

But she knew she couldn't talk about such things carelessly; she had worked incredibly hard to get the job at the Peninsula Hotel.

If I were to accidentally expose an artist's secret because of my loose tongue, I would definitely lose my job.

The waitress quickly composed herself, quietly cleared her throat, and made sure she spoke as usual.

The man pushing the cart, dressed as a chef, seemed much more experienced.

He has an air of indifference, as if nothing in the outside world matters to him.

"Hello, miss, where would you like to place this?"

Zhou Mei pointed to the coffee table in front of Lu Yuan.

"That's fine."

The waitress's response was concise and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

The duo went straight to the coffee table, nodded to Lu Yuan, and then...

The man opened the vegetable covers one by one.

The waitress placed the dishes one by one on the coffee table.

"This is your brunch."

A red wooden boat-shaped tray holds a white porcelain bowl in the same boat shape.

The golden-brown, slightly caramelized cheese layer covers the entire surface of the bowl like lava.

"Bull Demon King Baked Rice".

Two thick slices of Italian toast lay on a white plate, topped with strips of avocado and two soft-boiled eggs, making it look quite appealing.

"Australian avocado toast".

Two dumplings were placed on a delicate little plate.

"Blue Lobster and Goldfish Dumplings"

A small bamboo steamer.

"Dim sum platter".

Three jelly-like desserts are placed on a small white plate.

"Lanlu cake".

The last large white glass bottle

Lemon soda.

"It's a pleasure to serve you. Please enjoy your meal."

Lu Yuan and Zhou Mei both thanked them, and the waitress and the male chef pushed the food cart out of the room.

After closing the door for the guest, I turned around the corner and looked back to make sure no one was following.

The waitress excitedly poked the male chef's arm.

"You saw that! You saw that!"

"Zhou Mei! She's alone with a man in our hotel!"

The male chef nervously made a shushing gesture and looked around again to make sure the surroundings were safe.

"Shh! Keep your voice down."

"Let me tell you, this kind of thing is best left to us family members to talk about in private. You absolutely mustn't tell anyone else."

"You're not excited at all?" The waitress had a look of smug satisfaction.

"Hey, we have countless celebrities visiting the Peninsula Hotel every year, you haven't been here long enough to realize it."

"After a while, you'll get used to it, just like me."

"But you must remember, you absolutely must not tell anyone."

"Once this gets out, you never know who you might offend."

"The previous Ah Wen had told outsiders about a female celebrity having a secret rendezvous with two men, and then..."

The male chef stuck out his tongue and made a throat-slitting gesture.

"It's said that they raped her first, then killed her, then raped her again, and then killed her again."

"Eek~" The waitress shivered.

I feel quite regretful that I can't share this good news, like wearing fine clothes in the dark. But then I think about how I'm just an ordinary person, so I'd better not take the risk.

......

Lu Yuan and Zhou Mei, who were in the room, were unaware of their conversation.

But given their personalities, even if they knew, they probably wouldn't care at all. At this moment, the two were enjoying brunch at Jialin Restaurant.

"Brother Lu, this was specially ordered for you. It's a treat for you after you worked so hard last night."

"If I remember correctly, this bill should be charged to my room number, right?"

"That was specially chosen for you. Let me tell you, the head chef of Jialin Restaurant used to be Li Jiacheng's private chef. Ordinary people don't know which dish is the best to order."

Lu Yuan smiled indulgently, not caring much about the reward.

That didn't convince her. Now, all that's left of the alluring goddess is her stubbornness.

Just give way to your own woman, it won't bother you.

"That's a really unique name, 'Ox Demon King's Rice,' what were you thinking?"

Lu Yuan scooped up a spoonful, and the stringy cheese with its crispy crust was gently torn apart, revealing rice and other ingredients soaked in sauce.

"This is a Hong Kong specialty, you definitely have to try it, but be careful it's hot."

Zhou Mei snatched the spoon from Lu Yuan, blew on it, and then fed it to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan shamelessly opened his mouth and ate it.
