The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 310: Chapter 169 Eight Million, Five Years, and a Wedding Dress_2

”How much is this wine?” Zhou Wang asked curiously.

”28888.”

”And the beef?”

Hearing the number Jiang Qingkui reported, Zhou Wang clicked his tongue, and asked again.

”That depends on how much you eat. The unit price is eight thousand yuan per kilogram.”

Jiang Qingkui answered with a faint smile.

Indeed, extravagant... For ordinary people, a kilogram of beef would cost two months’ wages...

As for that bottle of red wine, being over twenty thousand was actually within Zhou Wang’s expectations. Anyway, being the ”fool who pays” wasn’t a first for him, and paying attention to such things while enjoying himself would be beneath him.

Besides, it was hard to say that the beef was even the main expense, with three people there, a service fee was definitely expected.

”By the way, Miao Ying...” After Jiang Qingkui sat down next to him, Zhou Wang remembered something.

”She’ll have it too, Sister Mei will send it to her room later.”

As soon as Zhou Wang opened his mouth, Jiang Qingkui knew what he wanted to ask and answered.

Zhou Wang nodded, and at this moment, the beef on the iron plate was already cooked. Once plated with some simple vegetables, the chef brought it to the dining table.

Upon receiving Zhou Wang’s signal, the woman holding the violin began her performance.

However, after she played just a few notes, Zhou Wang was taken aback.

”What’s wrong?” Jiang Qingkui thought that something was bothering Zhou Wang, so she asked in a low voice.

”It’s nothing, it’s just quite a coincidence...”

Zhou Wang smiled and waved his hand.

”Hmm?”

Jiang Qingkui was a little puzzled, and Zhou Wang didn’t explain further.

It was a coincidence because the first piece the violinist played was exactly ”Canon,” which he had just played last night...

But speaking of it, ”Canon” is indeed a magical piece, where a sad person can hear sadness, and a happy person can feel joy; it suits various scenarios well.

Taking a sip of wine to cleanse his palate, the taste was not bad. It was certainly better than a supermarket’s Yunan Province red wine that cost a few dozen yuan a bottle, but Zhou Wang couldn’t taste much more.

The purpose of drinking was mainly to remove any unpleasant taste in the mouth, though Jiang Qingkui had suggested Zhou Wang brush his teeth, but he was too lazy to fuss over it...

Cut a piece of beef; there were simply two dipping sauces—

One was a dish of salt, and another of soy sauce.

As Jiang Qingkui said, the more advanced the beef, the more its original flavor should be savored, and too much dipping sauce would ruin the taste.

So, Zhou Wang, who usually preferred spicy food, chose to dip in nothing and just put it into his mouth.

Compared to seventy or eighty yuan per kilogram of beef, the biggest difference was... tenderness.

Very tender.

And juicy.

Slowly chewing, there was a faint milky aroma as well.

In short, it was like chewing a piece of soft gum, so smooth that once he started, he couldn’t stop...

Amidst the elegant violin performance, Zhou Wang, who briefly transformed into an upper-class gentlefolk, ate piece after piece until the plate was empty, yet he still felt he hadn’t had enough.

But only his taste buds felt that way. In truth, he was already full beyond his limits.

During this, Jiang Qingkui didn’t eat much; most of the time, she rested her chin in her hand, watching Zhou Wang with a smile, or thoughtfully handed him a napkin during pauses.

So gentle, it’s absurd.

”To be honest, Qingkui, I find it... a bit hard to get used to.”

Satiated, Zhou Wang leaned back on the custom Minotti dining chair worth fifty thousand, wiped his mouth, and felt uneasy.

”This is what I should do as your secretary.”

Jiang Qingkui merely smiled.

”You’re not seriously treating me as a ’child psychology’ experiment subject, are you?”

Zhou Wang was suspicious.

”How could I? You are my boss.” Jiang Qingkui’s smile remained unchanged. ”Providing you with detailed and satisfactory service is my duty.”

”If the service could upgrade a bit more that would be great...”

Zhou Wang glanced at her legs wrapped in black stockings and muttered something.

Jiang Qingkui obviously heard it. She took a glance at Zhou Wang, crossed her long legs, and from Zhou Wang’s viewpoint, a shadow flashed by indistinctly. Then Jiang Qingkui chuckled softly:

”Maybe one day I’ll figure it out, and you can look forward to it.”

What the—?

Zhou Wang glanced sideways, and indeed a little bit of anticipation arose in his heart...

Then he realized it—wait a minute, didn’t that mean he was being coaxed?

Damn it, why are men so easy to handle...

However, Zhou Wang wasn’t particularly surprised by Jiang Qingkui’s subtle change, as there were signs leading up to it.

First was the loyalty aspect. Jiang Qingkui, who initially only had 70 loyalty points, currently had her loyalty value increased to 78.

Additionally Zhou Wang had long given Jiang Qingkui the course links attached to the resume, and with her intelligence, she would certainly absorb the relevant professional knowledge very quickly.

For instance, the meticulously planned dinner arrangement today could be seen as one of her phased learning results.

Her inherent personality hadn’t changed, but she was trying to interact in a way that made Zhou Wang more comfortable, which included responding to his slightly colored jokes, also counted as one of her changes.

After the chef and the violinist left one after another, Chen Mei silently came over to tidy up the dining table. At this point, Jiang Qingkui carefully put away her smile and took out a notebook to start speaking about business:

”Mr. Zhou, your scheduled itinerary is as follows—tomorrow morning at nine, you are to go to the Intermediate Court in Ming City to observe a certain case...

”The day after, you will go to the 77 Super Car Club Ming City branch; the Mercedes AMG GT Black Series you ordered has arrived and requires your inspection...

”On the 11th, we will set off for Hang City, except...”

Saying this, Jiang Qingkui paused for a moment.
