At twelve o'clock at noon, Ye Fan and Chen Ximo appeared in the imperial dining room.
It is ten kilometers away from the city center, located on Bailian Mountain in Tiancheng, west of the Great Buddha Temple, and was built in the style of a palace.
Carved dragons and phoenixes, golden tones, and palace decorations make people feel like they have returned to ancient times.
Royal history, dreamlike and picturesque, yet within reach
Managers, chefs and even waiters all have chef, physician, and nutritionist licenses.
Moreover, Master Gong, a famous descendant of the imperial chef, is in charge.
Master Gong is an excellent doctor and chef. He has hosted state banquets more than once, and he also randomly cooks a dish for customers every day, so the restaurant is of very high quality.
In the imperial hall, there is a red carpet. On both sides of the red carpet, there are ten small wooden pavilions, which are places for dining.
Sitting inside, it's like waiting for the emperor's ministers to gather.
"Mr. Chen is at Xinghua Pavilion."
When Chen Ximo reported Chen Chenxi to the waiter, the beautiful little palace maid immediately led the two of them to a pavilion.
Ye Fan glanced over and saw five beauties sitting together, holding cups and drinking apricot blossom wine, while talking humorously and elegantly.
Each of these beauties is wearing cheongsam, fashionable and beautiful, with a mature atmosphere of thirty or forty years old.
Gathered together, it is very eye-catching and eye-catching.
But what made Ye Fan narrow his eyes the most was Chen Chenxi.
She was wearing a light-colored cheongsam, with a very high thigh slit, and her fair skin was looming.
She talks and laughs elegantly, giving people a mature and noble feeling, like a ripe peach.
But no one dared to strike up a conversation easily. Chen Chenxi looked charming, but the strength in her eyes was enough to scare away most men.
This kind of woman is very ambitious and intelligent. How can a man with no means dare to approach her?
"mom!"
Chen Ximo stepped forward to say hello: "Hello Aunt Lin, hello Aunt Ye, hello Aunt Zhao..."
"Is Ximo here?"
Chen Chenxi nodded slightly: "Sit."
Then, without waiting for Mark to speak, she continued chatting with some of her best friends.
Ye Fan was just ignored and left aside.
Ninety-nine percent of young people in their twenties can't bear to be treated like this.
But Ye Fan was calm and composed. He had been looked down upon for a year, so he didn't take this point seriously at all.
Chen Ximo wanted to pull Ye Fan to sit down, but Chen Chenxi stopped him with his eyes.
Several beautiful women didn't pay attention to Ye Fan, they just warmed up the apricot wine and pointed out the situation with Chen Chenxi:
"Chen Xi, I heard that you are in contact with the Shen family, and you are very likely to take over the Xinghualin in Tiancheng New District? This is a great thing."
"Yes, if you win Xinghualin, you can build an eighty-story landmark and have outstanding performance, and then you can be transferred back to Qianying headquarters as the group vice president."
"Now that the real estate industry has begun to slump, it's hard to mess around. Take advantage of this opportunity to get back."
"Even if you don't serve as the vice president of the group, you can still be the president of Yunyin. Yunyin's advertising revenue this year is tens of billions, which is more money than the real estate industry."
"If you are short of money, I'll say hello to Lao Sun and lend you a loan of five billion."
"You don't have to worry about the purpose of Xinghualin. I'm familiar with the people from the Land and Resources Department and can solve the problem with just a phone call."
"By the way, I heard that the popular Shame Flower Beauty Balm I'm buying now has something to do with the Qianying Group. Remember to put it into operation when you go to Longdu."
"Yes, help us grab a few more bottles of Shame Flower Beauty Balm, or let us buy some shares."
"Damn it, the beauty cream is so crazy. It costs 100,000 yuan a bottle, and you need an ID card to buy a bottle. It's hard to buy even if you have money."
"I also heard that Qianying Group has changed its boss. Now the boss is a young man. Chen Xi, if you can take him down, you will have unlimited glory."
"That's right, Qianying Group has a market value of trillions. If you take advantage of the new boss, your sisters will also benefit from it."
Yingying Yanyan, smiling sweetly, it's either the CEO or the top leader, and billions and tens of billions are also frivolous numbers.
His words were condescending, but also frivolous and ambiguous, making many people passing by feel stressed and ashamed.
Chen Ximo couldn't sit still. Even if her mother didn't want to see Ye Zi, she couldn't keep ignoring him. But in this situation, she couldn't interrupt.
After about fifteen minutes, Chen Chenxi, who was smiling beautifully, stopped smiling. With a flick of his wrist, a diamond bracelet flashed.
She turned her head and looked at the calm and calm Ye Fan.
The four gorgeous women also looked at Ye Fan with a smile.
"Ye Fan, thank you for your reminder last time, which allowed me to discover my condition in time."
"I will thank you very much for this."
Chen Chenxi talked about his condition in a downplayed way. Gastric cancer was detected in time and with the help of money, not only could it be stopped, but it could also be cured with a high probability.
The woman who had passed through the critical point of life and death felt a little grateful to Ye Fan, but it also made her understand more and more that she had to be more indulgent in life, otherwise her life would be in vain.
This also made her more determined that her daughter could not suffer with Ye Fan.
Ye Fan opened his mouth subconsciously: "Auntie, you're welcome..."
"We are not that close, just call me Mr. Chen."
Chen Chenxi interrupted Ye Fan's topic, shook the apricot flower wine and said coldly:
"What I want to say today is that with your current status and status, you are not worthy of Xi Mo at all."
"I hope you will show your noble hand and give Xi Mo a helping hand."
Are you trying to beat a mandarin duck?
Ye Fan suddenly laughed.
He has no romantic feelings for Chen Ximo, so becoming friends is just a coincidence.
I came here today just to thank Chen Ximo for his hard work these days.
If they are not a couple, how can they talk about beating a mandarin duck?
Chen Ximo got emotional, grabbed Ye Fan and shouted:
"Mom, didn't you invite Mark to dinner? Why did you suddenly say such things?"
"Besides, he saved my life twice and saved your life once."
"He is the savior of our family. Is this appropriate for you to treat him like this?"
Chen Ximo couldn't help complaining to his mother: "Also, no matter how bad he is, he is still better than the Shen Shen Cheng you introduced to me."
Chen Chenxi's pretty face sank: "Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this?"
"Xi Mo, your mother also does her best for you."
A woman drank half a glass of apricot wine and smiled at Chen Ximo: "What is this... Ye Fan is it..."
"Yes, he did help you, but you can help him materially, just like you decorate them."
"You can also make the store rent-free for a few more years, or give you millions in return. There is no need to make old-fashioned promises of your own body."
Another charming woman also lightly opened her red lips:
"That's right, Ximo, with your mother's status and identity, a herbal tea buyer like him can't squeeze into a circle like ours."
"If you lead him to get here desperately, you will only be out of place, become everyone's laughing stock, and embarrass you and Chen Xi."
Another woman with an oval face shouted at Ye Fan like a blue:
"Several billions, tens of billions, either rich or noble, how do you think he can fit in?"
"Little brother, don't be so self-aware, just sell herbal tea and you won't be able to squeeze into the upper class."
She held the cup, touched it lightly with several female companions, and then drank up the apricot flower wine.
Ye Fan didn't explain, didn't refute, didn't get angry, and calmly watched several women pick on him.
Seeing Ye Fan like this, Chen Chenxi's eyes became more contemptuous.
Over the years, Chen Chenxi has seen all kinds of men.
Arrogant, smart, stupid, but all have strong self-esteem. They can't stand stimulation and blows, and show their remaining bloody nature.
As for Ye Fan's calmness, in her opinion, he was completely thick-skinned and had no sense of shame.
Chen Chenxi crossed her legs and said coldly: "Ye Fei, do you have anything to say?"
"Should Ximo and I be together?"
Ye Fan's tone was calm: "What you say doesn't count, what they said doesn't count, only Ximo has the final say."
"Xi Mo wants me to get out, I'll get out immediately, and we can stop interacting with him in the future."
"But if Ximo didn't chase me away, I wouldn't leave in despair."
For Ye Fan, this relationship is just a simple friendship.
Chen Ximo felt a touch of emotion in his heart. He didn't expect Mark to value him so much.
At the same time, she secretly sighed that Ye Fan's family background was a bit different, otherwise she would have fallen in love without hesitation.
After hearing Ye Fan's crisp and clear answer, Chen Chenxi not only didn't look at him with dignity, but also felt a touch of contempt.
It seems that she is disgusted with such self-righteous people.
"Ye Fan, there's no point in stalking me like this."
"I'll say it again, you and Ximo are from two different worlds."
"I will never allow you two to be together."
Chen Chenxi showed a strong momentum: "If you want a toad to eat swan meat, I tell you, you are dreaming."
Obviously she regarded Mark as someone with ulterior motives.
She also looked at Chen Ximo, not angry but powerful:
"Xi Mo, you have to repay the kindness, but you have to stop it in moderation, and don't say stupid things about promising yourself."
"Don't associate with this kind of person. You and him are completely different from each other."
"He just runs a herbal tea shop. He relies on you to start the shop. How can he keep up with you?"
She hates that iron cannot become steel: "A little money on your finger is the ceiling of his life. How can you fall in love?"
Chen Ximo pursed his lips and said nothing.
At this time, an old man in Tang suit with a celestial spirit was leading a few people to bring up a steaming porcelain pot.
The pot is very large, at least one and a half meters in diameter, and just fills the middle of the table.
The lid is not open, but the fragrant aroma hits your mouth and nose, making you feel appetizing.
The old man in Tang suit smiled brightly and extended his hand: "Mr. Chen, this is today's new dish. I made it myself. Please try it."
Chen Chenxi instantly turned into a smile, humble and polite: "Thank you, Master Gong."
Several women in cheongsam also smiled and said: "Master Gong is interested."
Master Gong laughed loudly: "If you are happy eating, I will be happy."
Chen Chenxi stared at Ye Fan: "Xi Mo, ask Ye Fan if he has ever seen this kind of medicinal food?"
Several women in cheongsam smiled playfully and looked at Mark without comment.
"The Palace Buddha jumped over the wall."
"Mainly abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw, and vermicelli."
"Boiled with 5% ginseng, 3% kudzu root, 3% schisandra chinensis, 4% moxibustion root, 2% green bark, 6% gastrodia elata, 5% angelica root, and 10% cork..."
Ye Fan said casually:
"It nourishes qi and blood, clears heat and replenishes qi. It looks good, but it's a pity that you will die if you eat it..."
Master Gong, who was about to turn around and leave, stopped instantly.
