Chapter 120 Treating Xia Mi to a Good Meal

Led by Xia Mi, Ye Jingchen arrived at the entrance of a restaurant called "Jianju Western Restaurant".

Xia Mi glanced at the KFC next to the Western restaurant, wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, and exclaimed, "Finally here! Here comes the feast!"

The last time she ate a family bucket meal of fried chicken, fries, hamburgers, etc. was when she had just received her scholarship.

Xia Mi unconsciously started rubbing her hands together like flies.

"What are you still standing outside for? It's time to go inside." Ye Jingchen glanced at Xia Mi, then walked straight into the door of Jianju Western Restaurant.

Xia Mi watched Ye Jingchen walk through the incredibly luxurious glass revolving door, and was instantly stunned!

Ye Jingchen had just stood in front of the counter when he saw a salesperson wearing a black suit vest over a white long-sleeved shirt and carrying a black notebook.

Xia Mi jogged over, grabbed Ye Jingchen's arm, glanced at the waiter, and whispered to Ye Jingchen, "Hey! Boss, we've gone to the wrong place! We're going to eat fried chicken and burgers next door. The food at this Western restaurant is ridiculously expensive! Run!"

Her thin sweatshirt, faded jeans, and canvas shoes with pilling laces seemed out of place against the bright white marble floor of the Western restaurant.

Ye Jingchen: "..."

Upon hearing Xia Mi's words, the waiter gave an awkward yet polite smile.

"Stand up straight and be more confident," Ye Jingchen said, supporting Xia Mi's waist.

Xia Mi froze instantly, straightened her back, and her chest, which was almost a B cup, bulged out. She felt the hand pressing on her lower back was as hot as a red-hot iron.

Ye Jingchen then turned to the waiter and said, "Give us a private room."

The waiter nodded to Ye Jingchen and gestured, "Please follow me, both of you!"

It looked as if Ye Jingchen had put his arm around Xia Mi's waist as they walked into the private room.

The two sat close together at the round table.

The waiter handed the menu to Ye Jingchen. "Sir, please order!"

Ye Jingchen unfolded the menu and displayed it in front of Xia Mi, "Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Xia Mi looked at the menu, ignoring the colorful pictures of the dishes and the fancy names like Cantonese cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, and steak.

Xia Mi's eyes were fixed on those numbers that seemed unimaginable, clustered together like they were courting death: 2399.00, 1379.00, 980.00...

Xia Mi was completely numb. She stopped looking at the numbers on this page and reached out to turn the menu to the next page, and then another.

Finally, she stopped at "98.00", a number that Xia Mi could accept. She stretched out her slender, long, and fair index finger, bent it and pointed at the number. Looking at the name of the dish, she said, "I want this, I want this, cold... preserved... egg."

98 is enough for her to eat several KFC family bucket meals.

"Miss, this page features complimentary dishes. As long as the total amount of all the dishes ordered reaches a certain threshold, you can receive a complimentary dish..." The waiter hadn't finished speaking.

Xia Mi's ears turned red, as if she had eaten a large spoonful of chili sauce.

Seeing this, Ye Jingchen took the menu back from Xia Mi and interrupted the waiter, saying, "Gentian grouper, Australian lobster, and king crab, let's order these three dishes first. Can we have the complimentary dishes now?"

The waiter smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's possible. What would you like, sir? We can offer two complimentary dishes."

Ye Jingchen: "I only want cold preserved egg salad."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi immediately cast a grateful glance at Ye Jingchen.

The waiter paused for a moment upon hearing this, glanced at Xia Mi, and then left the private room with the small blackboard in his arms. "Okay, please wait a moment, both of you!"

Xia Mi watched as the waiter left and closed the door before she breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her hand and gently patted her slightly heaving chest. "Boss, you have no idea how embarrassed I was just now. Luckily, you came to my rescue."

Xia Mi took the menu from in front of Ye Jingchen, looked at it, did the math, and her eyes widened in shock. "My God, this meal costs over 3,700! That's almost a month's salary for me!"

“You haven’t signed a contract to become a full-time employee yet,” Ye Jingchen said, placing the rental contract and the housekeeping contract on the table. He then neatly signed his name and pushed the four contracts over. “It’s your turn to sign. We’ll each keep two copies.”

Xia Mi took the pen, and without even looking at it, signed her name.

Ye Jingchen raised his right eyebrow slightly. "Aren't you going to take a look?"

Xia Mi pouted helplessly, "It's a contract of servitude anyway, so it doesn't matter whether I look at it or not!"

Xia Mi rested her chin on her right hand, staring intently at Ye Jingchen. "Boss, you'll pay my social security, right? Hehe~"

Ye Jingchen silently took back the two contracts, his face stern. "We'll see how you perform."

Xia Mi's face immediately darkened, and she muttered to herself, "Hmph, heartless boss!"

Two loud knocks on the door.

The previous waiter and another waitress brought the dishes over.

The giant grouper has five cuts on each side of its body to help it absorb the flavor. It is first steamed, then drizzled with sauce, and finally topped with piping hot scallion oil, making it incredibly fresh and fragrant.

Both the Australian lobster and the king crab are red, as if they are a double blessing.

The cold preserved egg salad, a small plate, is placed among three large dishes, showing its extraordinary nature. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, which means never forgetting one's original aspiration.

The waiters said, "Please enjoy your meal!" After saying this, the two waiters left.

Xia Mi looked at the king crab, which was much larger than her own face, and swallowed hard. She would never have dared to dream of such a delicacy from the sea.

Drooling kept dripping from the corners of her mouth, and flies were rubbing their hands together.

Seeing Xia Mi staring intently at the king crab, Ye Jingchen put on plastic gloves and reached out to the king crab. With a gentle pinch of his fingers, he exerted a force of more than a ton, easily breaking off the king crab's two legs.

He cracked each leg shell and placed it on Xia Mi's plate. "Don't be shy, start eating."

"Thank you, boss!" Xia Mi nodded repeatedly, eagerly prying open the crab leg shell, taking a big slurp of the tender white crab leg meat, and biting into it!

Xia Mi's eyes sparkled, and her mouth was full of meat juice. "Wow, Mommy! Ah, it's so delicious! Waaaaah~ Boss, I love you!"

Seeing Xia Mi's incoherent speech, Ye Jingchen paused for a moment, moved his stool away from Xia Mi, then reached for his chopsticks, picked up a piece of grouper, and began to eat.

Bang!

The door to the private room was kicked open.

A man's voice came from the doorway:

Ye Jingchen!
