The first thousand one hundred and ninety-eight chapters are tricky
"Ye, I'm tired of shopping, let's go eat!" Annie took Ye Fan's arm and asked with a smile: "What do you want to eat?"
"As long as you can eat enough." Ye Fan tilted his head, "I haven't had Chinese food for several days, let's find a Chinese restaurant!"
"Okay!" Annie nodded repeatedly and pointed to a small square in the distance: "There is a Chinese restaurant there. It has become very famous recently. I have never had the chance to try it. Why don't we go there for our dinner?"
As soon as he finished saying this, Duke's expression suddenly changed, "Don't, don't go!"
"Why?" Ye Fan and Annie both turned their heads.
Duke looked a little panicked and said in a low voice: "I have been to that store, and the taste is not very good, and the hygiene is not very good.
Annie, haven't you always wanted to eat Couston? Let's go to that store! I heard that the chef has come up with many new dishes..."
Couston is a three-star Michelin hotel that is very famous in Paris and has a history of nearly a hundred years.
Its chef is the sixth most famous chef in the world and is good at cooking all kinds of seafood.
Seafood is mostly white meat with low fat content and is very popular among female consumers.
Annie was a little moved and said to Ye Fan: "Ye, how about we go to Couston?"
Ye Fan turned his head and looked at Duke, always feeling that this kid's behavior was weird.
He has been influencing Annie's travel route since getting on the plane. Could it be that he has prepared some back-up plan to take revenge on himself?
No, then it would be too obvious for him to do so.
With his IQ, he shouldn't be able to do such an idiotic thing.
However, Duke obviously didn’t want to go to that Chinese restaurant by himself. What was the reason?
If he really arranges a killer, then he has to be more careful.
It's not that I'm afraid, but because Annie is by my side, and it would be terrible if it affects her.
"Annie, why don't we go to the Chinese restaurant to try it first? To be honest, although the Western food is exquisite, the portion is too small and it's hard for me to feel full."
Ye Fan smiled and said, "We warriors have big appetites, so Chinese rice is more suitable for me. We can finish the Chinese food, take a walk around, and then go to that Couston restaurant to try new dishes!"
"Well, okay!" Annie smiled and nodded.
"No, no!" Duke became more and more anxious, "Mr. Ye, I have been coveting the chef's new dishes in that Western restaurant for a long time. Just fulfill my little wish!"
If it were anyone else, maybe Mark would have agreed.
However, Duke's attitude towards him had always been very cold, even with a feeling of hatred.
To be so flattering right now is obviously not in line with his appearance.
This kid might be really holding back some water!
The more he is like this, the less likely Mark is to comply with his wishes.
"You can eat Western food, but not this meal." Ye Fan shook his head and smiled faintly: "Duke, if you really want to go, just go alone. Anne and I will go to eat Chinese food."
"Yes, you have hands and feet, but we don't necessarily need you to accompany us."
Anne wished that Duke would disappear immediately, "We are here to accompany Ye San. He can do whatever he wants and go wherever he wants. You can stop pointing fingers.
Ye, let’s go and let him eat Couston alone!”
With that said, Annie took Mark's hand and walked towards an alley across the street.
Duke stood there, neither leaving nor staying, with a particularly complicated expression.
Seeing Ye Fan and Annie walking further and further away, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and quickly chased after them, constantly thinking in his mind: "She is not in the store, she is not in the store!"
The alleys of the Champs Elysées are no less lively than those outside.
The eight-meter-wide lane is packed with pedestrians and tourists.
After walking for more than fifty meters, at a fork in the road, a conspicuous storefront came into view.
The facade is very Chinese-style. The restaurant is five stories high and looks very grand from the outside.
At the door, the queue formed a long queue, and the end was almost invisible. A rough calculation showed that there were at least hundreds of diners queuing up.
Ye Fan gasped, "Are there too many people?"
Annie was secretly stunned, "Yes, even when Couston is at its peak, there are not so many people queuing up!"
Duke breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, there are too many people here. How long will the queue last? Mr. Ye, Annie, let's go!"
"It's okay, I have a platinum card." Annie took out a crystal clear card from her wallet, "I haven't been here since I applied. Ye, we can just go in directly, there is no need to queue!"
"Very good." Ye Fan grinned and followed Annie into the Chinese restaurant.
Anyou showed your membership card to the waiter at the door, and she quickly called the manager to verify the authenticity of the membership card.
The waiters and managers here are all Chinese, so Ye Fan did not communicate in foreign languages.
"Sir, Miss, please keep your VIP card and come with me."
The manager respectfully returned the membership card to Annie and made a gesture of invitation to them.
Ye Fan nodded and followed the manager into the Chinese restaurant.
The Chinese restaurant has five floors, the first floor is the lobby, the second and third floors are reserved private rooms, the fourth floor is the membership floor, and the fifth floor is the VIP floor.
Each floor of the Chinese restaurant has an area of 500 to 600 square meters. There are five floors in total, and almost all the tables are packed.
Dare to make Chinese cuisine on the Champs Elysées, where land is at a premium, and scale it on such a large scale, which shows the ability and courage of the proprietress of this shop.
When the passengers queuing up at the door saw Ye Fan and others swaggering in, they immediately felt dissatisfied. Several Chinese people kept complaining, and some even questioned the waiter.
The waiter smiled helplessly, "Everyone, I'm sorry, those three are platinum members, so they can avoid the trouble of queuing."
"Is a platinum membership great? Tell me, I'll get one too!" a Chinese young man shouted angrily.
"With a one-time top-up of one million euros, you can become a platinum member. Sir, do you need it?" the waiter replied politely.
As soon as he heard the amount of the platinum card, the Chinese youth immediately became scared. He said a few words about emptying his stomach and continued to line up honestly.
But he said that Ye Fan and the others went straight to the fifth floor. During this period, Duke kept his head lowered and looked around suspiciously, as if he was afraid of being recognized.
Ye Fan became more and more curious.
This kid is not a famous person, otherwise he would have been recognized long ago after walking around the streets for an afternoon.
Could it be that the person who opens the store here is his enemy?
Seeing Duke's awkward look, Ye Fan chuckled and asked the manager on duty: "Hello, how long has your store been open?"
"It's only one month to go until a whole year." The manager replied with a smile.
"Is your boss also from China?" Ye Fan asked again.
"Yes." The manager nodded, "Sir, do you know our landlady?"
"No, no, no, it's my first time here." Ye Fan laughed, and said with a weird smile: "So, she's still the boss's wife?"
"Um."
"No wonder." Ye Fan understood.
It seems that Duke is quite romantic, and he actually has a bad relationship with the proprietress of this store.
I guess this boss lady is also a ruthless character, otherwise Duke would not be afraid of being like this.
Ye Fan deliberately said loudly: "What's your surname, the boss lady?"
"My surname is Wu." The manager smiled politely, "Sir, Mr. Wu is still a graduate student studying in France. She is not in the store today, otherwise she would toast with you and talk about nostalgia."
When he heard that the proprietress was not at the store, Duke let out a big breath, and his aura that had been so weak suddenly became active.
Ye Fan glanced at Duke, smiled contemptuously, and then said to the manager on duty: "Those who speak politely are worthy of being brought up by educated people!
It doesn't matter. If you're not here, just be here. Let's eat ours. By the way, tell the kitchen to prepare more rice. I'm not into salty and spicy food, so I can make some for dinner."
"Yes, I understand."
The manager on duty welcomed Ye Fan and the others into the private room on the fifth floor.
The elegant room where Ye Fan and the others were staying was called "Osmanthus Flower Moon", which had quite an artistic conception.
The decoration in the private room and the tables and chairs used are also in line with the elegant Chinese atmosphere.
The area of the private room is not large, about twenty or thirty square meters. There is a tea table, tea sets, and tea leaves placed against the wall.
After Ye Fan ordered the dishes, he walked to the tea table and chose a cup of tea to brew.
After sitting at the cup, I put it into the tea cup and took a sip. My mouth was filled with saliva and the fragrance was sweet and fragrant.
"Good tea!" Ye Fan exclaimed, "It's quite interesting!"
Tea of this level costs several thousand yuan per pound in China, so it is still hard to find at a high price.
If you are not a tea lover, it will be difficult to get your hands on it.
Unexpectedly, the proprietress of this shop is also a tea lover!
Duke regained his vitality and called at the window with his mobile phone, talking and laughing in French.
Ye Fan was proficient in French, so he naturally understood what the birdman was saying.
It's just that he has a sweetheart in Paris. He is going to spend the night with her tonight and asks her to find a way out without letting her husband know.
"Haha, Duke is really not a good guy. He plays with women everywhere. The proprietress of this store is one, and the amorous young woman on the phone is another..."
Ye Fan sneered in his heart, too lazy to care about his affairs, and just drank tea by himself.
Anne sat next to him obediently and told him some interesting things about Paris, its customs and history.
Ye Fan knew as much as she did, but she was so excited about what she said that it was hard for Ye Fan to dampen her elegance.
After a while, the food was served, and Ye Fan and Annie came to the table to eat.
Duke's previous phone call didn't seem to go well, as it seemed that the young woman was inconvenient, so he changed his target and continued to tease other women.
Anne already knew Duke's temperament and didn't even glance at him.
Ye Fan didn't have a good look on this kind of birdman, so neither of them would call him to eat.
While we were eating, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and the manager on duty came in from the outside and said respectfully: "Sir, Miss, I'm sorry to disturb you.
Our Mr. Wu just returned to the store and heard that a distinguished guest from Huaxia came, so he came here to toast you all..."
"Bata!"
Duke suddenly trembled, and the cell phone in his hand fell to the ground.
Before he could stop him, a graceful and intellectual woman walked in from outside.
She was wearing a black long skirt with a waist and a glass of red wine in her hand. She had beautiful features and long, straight black hair.
The whole person looks like a charming fairy, which makes people admire her involuntarily.
