Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng didn’t know that after they left, there was discussion about them at the barbecue stand.
After all, this kind of discussion was irrelevant to them.
"Let’s go, this time we’ll go to a Western restaurant, somewhere quiet, to talk about some business."
Lin Feng proposed something, seemingly with something on his mind.
"ok, whatever you want."
Lu Xiaobu said indifferently.
Although he didn’t particularly like Western cuisine, it seemed that Lin Feng wanted to focus on business.
Following Lin Feng’s directions, the two arrived at an upscale Western restaurant.
"Here, I come often, Michelin three-star, the taste is alright."
Lin Feng said as he got out of the car.
"Are you sure we’re not going to get kicked out dressed ?"
Lin Feng just rolled his eyes and ignored Xiaobu.
They entered the restaurant.
Most of the guests here were foreigners, with only a small portion of Chinese.
That was normal since Western cuisine didn’t quite suit Chinese eating habits.
Not many people would eat it every day!
They were led to a quiet spot by a waiter.
Lin Feng took charge of ordering.
The aperitif was served first.
Xiaobu tasted the aperitif, smacking his lips: "What’s up? Spit it out."
"Figure out a way for me to escape my family’s control," Lin Feng said, staring intently at Lu Xiaobu.
"No way, don’t even think about it. Let’s eat and then go to sleep!"
Xiaobu dismissed the idea without a second thought.
What a joke, helping Lin Feng escape his family’s control?
What would that imply?
Confronting the Lin Family?!
The Lu Family was not at that stage yet.
"You’re the only one I can turn to! Only you! If you don’t help me, it’s going to be a fight to the death!"
Lin Feng’s tone was as annoying as ever!
A smile appeared on Xiaobu’s lips.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the private room became extremely tense.
These two guys were always like that, friendly one second, at each other’s throats the next.
"Why wouldn’t I be sure?! Very sure!"
Lin Feng’s gaze was sharp, and his tone was full of threatening intent: "You’re an opponent I acknowledge. If I can’t have another battle with you, I’ll just destroy you ahead of time!"
"But I can destroy you right now!"
Lu Xiaobu’s eyes remained lazy, but a sharp gleam suddenly burst forth: "Physical annihilation!"
"Kill me? I doubt you have what it takes!"
Lin Feng picked up the table knife and spun it in his hand, reflecting the overhead light onto Xiaobu’s face: "Your bodyguard isn’t even by your side right now, can you take me in a fight?"
"You must have forgotten about that guy from the Baji Sect."
Xiaobu didn’t grab a knife or a fork, continuing to drink instead.
"I haven’t forgotten, but I don’t believe you can keep that up."
Lin Feng’s hand spun the knife faster and faster, his eyes becoming sharper: "Besides, even if you could kill me, you’d still have to confront the Lin Family! Same result!"
"No, it’s different, one is being threatened, and the other is me issuing the threat!"
Lu Xiaobu spoke indifferently: "I prefer the latter."
Lin Feng’s tone grew even more hostile.
Lu Xiaobu said flatly, then reached out and grabbed the swiftly spinning sharp table knife from Lin Feng’s hand.
He grasped the sharp blade tightly: "Kids shouldn’t play with knives, careful you might cut yourself!"
The Charging Shield made him completely indifferent to such injuries!
Lin Feng’s pupils shrank to the size of pinholes in an instant.
Lu Xiaobu actually grabbed the blade directly!?
And without a scratch?!
He clenched his fist tightly, then released it.
Gradually, his pupils returned to normal.
He gently released the table knife: "If you want it, then it’s yours!"
Lu Xiaobu’s mouth curled into a smile as he took the dinner knife back.
"Alright, let’s eat."
Lin Feng’s face returned to normal.
As if nothing had happened before.
But there was a kind of excitement gradually spreading in his eyes!
Lu Xiaobu, you’re the only one who can help me, and you must help me!
Let’s consider this our next duel!
This time, I will definitely win, so you will definitely help me!
The atmosphere in the private room became gentle once again.
The two had transformed from mortal enemies back to old friends.
Don’t think they were just playing around!
At any moment, just then, blood could truly have been spilled on the spot!
"Try this, a medium-rare steak, one of my favored flavors."
Lin Feng adeptly used his knife and fork to eat the beef.
Lu Xiaobu took a bite, tasted it, and nodded: "Not bad at all."
"Right, didn’t your Lu Family start by running a restaurant? Give some feedback."
Lin Feng said with a smile.
It was purely a joke.
After all, the Lu Family made Chinese food, and this was a Michelin three-star restaurant, how could there be room for feedback.
"Feedback? None! But, I do have a suggestion."
Lu Xiaobu put down his knife and fork and said.
Lin Feng’s mouth curved into an amused smile.
What kind of mischief was Lu Xiaobu up to now?!
"Waiter." Lu Xiaobu snapped his fingers.
"How may I assist you, sir?"
The waiter bowed as he approached Lu Xiaobu.
"Go buy something for me."
"Of course, what would you like?"
"Lao Ganma, you can find it in any supermarket, go buy it."
The waiter was taken aback.
"Something the matter? Is that troubling?"
Lu Xiaobu tilted his head and looked on.
"Sir, if you requested liquor, or some sort of food, I could understand and go buy it. But, this Lao Ganma is hot sauce! Such an item in the restaurant could possibly discomfort other patrons."
The waiter explained.
Lao Ganma is a hot sauce, a condiment, with a distinctive, volatile aroma.
If other patrons were to smell it, it could affect their appetite, which would truly be a nuisance.
Since this is a western restaurant, and the customers are mostly foreigners, it could make things much worse.
"I don’t really like throwing money around, but just this once." Lu Xiaobu said calmly: "One hundred thousand yuan."
"Five hundred thousand!"
"Guest, I’ll go buy it right away!"
The waiter instantly switched sides.
There are no absolute friends, no absolute enemies, only eternal interests.
Although the restaurant’s salary is high.
But, this half a million is enough for him to risk getting fired!
Lin Feng sat by silently, quietly watching it all.
He was curious to see what Lu Xiaobu was up to.
Lao Ganma? Western cuisine? Steak?!
What was going on in Lu Xiaobu’s mind?
Lu Xiaobu didn’t explain either, just quietly waited for the Lao Ganma to be bought back.
Only he knew what effect Lao Ganma would have when paired with western cuisine!
With that thought, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl into a playful smile!
