Chapter 1773: Chapter 657: A Date at Lu Zhining’s Home! (Long Chapter Subscription Request)

Zhang Jingdong held Shu Ran and kissed her for a full five or six minutes before letting her go.

He pinched her delicate chin with his hand: "How about now, still angry?"

Shu Ran, eyes soft with affection, said: "I wasn’t really angry to begin with."

"So you were just acting for me earlier?"

"I..."

"Then I must punish you properly!"

Zhang Jingdong said as he directly scooped her up and headed to the ladies’ restroom.

"Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing the teaching in a special environment, reward of 2 million yuan!"

A full hour later, the two finally came out of the restroom.

At this moment, Shu Ran looked like a lotus in summer that had suddenly been showered by a rainstorm, bursting with life.

Zhang Jingdong gave her a kiss, then looked at the time.

It was almost 1 o’clock.

He immediately said: "Are you hungry? Let’s go eat?"

Shu Ran pursed her lips: "When I have classes, I usually eat a bit around 9 in the morning, and then eat again after classes in the afternoon. You go eat... If you have time tonight, you can come see me."

Zhang Jingdong thought: Perfect, I can then go see classmate Yuan Mei.

So he pretended to be regretful and said: "Alright, it’s because my woman is a strong career woman, I’ll go by myself... But tonight you owe me some compensation elsewhere?"

Shu Ran indulgently said: "Okay... I promise, is that enough for you?"

"That’s more like it."

The two lingered for a while longer before Zhang Jingdong left the studio.

He went downstairs, got in the car, and sent a text to Yuan Mei: "Are you awake?"

Soon Yuan Mei replied: "Awake, I’m preparing the ingredients for you, when are you coming over?"

Zhang Jingdong: "I’m coming over now, at most half an hour."

Yuan Mei: "Alright, I’ll start cooking now."

Zhang Jingdong: "Okay, see you in a bit."

After the call, Zhang Jingdong started the car, skillfully maneuvered, and quickly left the spot.

In less than twenty minutes, he arrived at Yuan Mei’s private kitchen courtyard.

The staff here immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing him.

Because they had noticed a pattern, which was that if Zhang Jingdong didn’t come here for an entire week, their boss would be in low spirits.

And if their boss was in low spirits, she would start researching new dishes, and if she researched new dishes, someone in the kitchen would get scolded, and if someone in the kitchen got scolded, everyone else in the restaurant would be on edge all day.

So these days, the customer they most wanted to see was Zhang Jingdong.

And when they saw that Zhang Jingdong really came, the pretty receptionist immediately put on an especially happy smile: "Boss Zhang, you’re here, our boss is waiting for you on the third floor of Lake Heart Pavilion."

Zhang Jingdong smiled and nodded: "Thank you."

After speaking, he walked through the small building and directly headed to Lake Heart Pavilion.

Upon reaching the third floor, the rich aroma of food met him at the door, and he quietly went to the small kitchen in the back.

Yuan Mei was diligently cooking.

She had her hair tied up, and her slender, fair neck resembled that of a swan.

An apron tied over a black dress left the lower hem exposing a lovely calf.

Judging just from her profile, it was obvious she was an exceptional culinary beauty.

Zhang Jingdong watched for a moment, then stepped forward, hugging Yuan Mei tightly from behind.

Yuan Mei didn’t struggle at all; as a top-notch chef, her sense of smell was slightly inferior to Zhang Jingdong’s, but still much stronger than most people’s.

When Zhang Jingdong reached the kitchen, she had already detected his scent.

Zhang Jingdong took a deep whiff of her fragrance, then said: "Did you miss me?"

Yuan Mei said emotionally: "I’ve missed you so much, I haven’t slept well these days."

Zhang Jingdong gave her a kiss: "So have you mastered the skill of cooking while studying now?"

Yuan Mei turned her head to glance at Zhang Jingdong, then shyly nodded: "...I should be able to now."

"Shall we try it out then?"

"...Hmm."

"Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing the teaching in a special environment, reward of 2 million yuan!"

An hour later, Zhang Jingdong finished explaining four points of knowledge, and Yuan Mei had also completed four dishes.

Zhang Jingdong was very satisfied with Yuan Mei’s dishes and rewarded her with a bottle of Life One.

The two tidied up before bringing the dishes to the table together.

After sitting down, Yuan Mei pointed at the dishes on the table: "These are the new dishes I’ve researched this week, give them a taste?"

Zhang Jingdong picked up his chopsticks and tried each one, then sighed: "I never expected you to reach such a high level, yet still improve your culinary skills. It’s really incredible!"

Receiving the compliment, Yuan Mei smiled sweetly: "It might be like composing music; people can create good pieces when in extreme sadness or longing, and I’ve missed you so much these days, so I could research these delicious dishes."

Zhang Jingdong nodded thoughtfully: "Seems that’s really the case."

After eating for a while, Zhang Jingdong said: "Dear, with your culinary skills this good, haven’t you considered taking on a few apprentices and opening a few branches nationwide?"

Yuan Mei paused, then said: "I was just about to tell you, I’m planning to train a few apprentices and then open branches in Shanghai and Beijing."

"It’s all your fault that I didn’t have such strong career aspirations before, but your constant busy schedule made me ambitious."

"However, you’ll have to partner with me then and help me with ideas, otherwise you’ll be accountable for any losses."

Zhang Jingdong laughed heartily: "Of course, no problem! That way, we can research dishes while learning beautiful knowledge in the Shanghai and Beijing shops, just thinking about it is exciting!"
