"How much? Add twenty million?" Xu Nan's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Boss Ma, then she turned to Shen Qiang with a bright smile, saying, "Our Boss Ma is famous for not caring about small change. For him to readily offer to add twenty million, it actually makes me think that your restaurant might really be able to make a lot of money."

Shen Qiang laughed.

Even if this restaurant could make money, it would never be as profitable as Alchemy.

And now was obviously not the time to discuss such matters.

After all, whether it was Xu Nan or Bai Jiao, they had both brought a group of people to help Shen Qiang. It was clear that at this time it was appropriate for everyone to sit together for a meal as a token of his gratitude.

So, after a brief chat, Shen Qiang asked someone to take Bai Jiao and Xu Nan to the third floor to find the best seats, and then he carefully instructed the manager to pay attention to the seating arrangement.

Cheng Xinyi and Wan Xin Hesheng, these two Families, were like fire and water on ordinary days, and this was not a matter of just a year or half a year. Having their people mixed together would definitely lead to mutual displeasure.

As for the Zhong Family,

among the medical Families in the province, they were quite decent.

But compared to super Families like Wan Xin Hesheng or Cheng Xinyi, the difference was too great. Putting them together would definitely be awkward, so it was undoubtedly best to separate the three parties.

Besides them, there were three other people whom Shen Qiang thought appropriate to sit together.

The assistants of Xu Nan and Bai Jiao, and Dark Department's Xiu Ju.

The three of them at one table.

Apart from that, Shen Qiang also specially invited Old Master Zhong upstairs, but he refused, stating that he dared not disturb and wouldn't go.

Shen Qiang did not insist.

Zhong Yongxi, on the other hand, seemed eager to try and looked forward to Shen Qiang inviting him to dine together.

But Shen Qiang thought it over and decided to forget it.

After all, both Xu Nan and Bai Jiao basically paid no attention to Zhong Yongxi.

It would be too awkward to bring him along.

As for Boss Ma, Shen Qiang did not invite him either because it was clear that once here, he would engage a waiter and then decide where to take them. He shouldn't be a nuisance in his sight.

After explaining everything,

Shen Qiang went up to the third floor.

Xu Nan and Bai Jiao were sitting at the innermost table by the window.

Shen Qiang walked over with a smile, noticing that the previously cheerful expressions of the two women had turned quite cold.

Shen Qiang coughed.

Xu Nan looked up and smiled at Shen Qiang, saying, "You really are surprising, not only secretly managing a restaurant but also having such a powerful woman by your side."

Shen Qiang laughed, Dark Department's Xiu Ju might indeed be very powerful, but when it came to Combat Power, Qian Shanxue would definitely not be inferior to her.

But this was something to think about internally. Saying it out loud would be too boastful.

"What are you eating, have you ordered?" Shen Qiang said with a smile.

Bai Jiao smiled, "I'll leave it to the host, I'll eat whatever you arrange. Of course, I am quite interested in that Truffle Steak."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Alright, then Truffle Steak it is."

Hearing this, Xu Nan glanced at Bai Jiao with somewhat cold eyes and said, "Talking about leaving it to the host, and then ordering Truffle Steak. Can't people be less hypocritical?"

Bai Jiao's face turned cold, and with a forced smile, she said, "Tomboy, if you keep quiet, I'll pretend you're my good friend."

"Why be so hypocritical?" Xu Nan said lightly, raising an eyebrow. "It's been scientifically proven that women with small chests have small hearts too."

"So with a big chest like a dairy cow's, you think you have a broad mind?" Bai Jiao asked with a smiling squint.

Watching the two of them about to bicker again, Shen Qiang felt like his head was about to explode.

The last time, Shen Qiang could still pretend to be drunk with the help of alcohol, but now the dining table was still empty.

He certainly couldn't pretend to be drunk without drinking anything.

He coughed and interjected, "Today, I want to thank both of you for going through the trouble for my sake..."

"The grapes out of reach are always sour, having never had them, of course, you would not understand what it feels like to be broad-minded," Xu Nan said with a smile.

Bai Jiao was infuriated, "What good is having a big chest? It's having a large family business that is truly a capital to be proud of."

"Family wealth is inherited from the ancestors, but the wealth you earn yourself through your own efforts is what truly belongs to you."

Smiling at Bai Jiao, Xu Nan said with a smile, "Ever since I arrived here, our Wanxin Sheng's monthly performance has always been at least five percentage points higher than yours. So sometimes I really wonder, is there no one left at Cheng Xinyi? How could they let someone like you, who has neither the chest nor the brains, to manage the business? Winning too easily doesn't even excite me."

Shen Qiang couldn't stand it any longer and coughed again, "What would you like to drink?"

"The one who laughs last, laughs best." Bai Jiao, with a cold face, said coldly, "Our competition has only just begun."

"Competition?" Xu Nan laughed. "I'm not interested in challenges from the weak."

"Really? Such arrogance can bring about retribution."

Bai Jiao's complexion turned ugly, looking like she was about to erupt in anger.

Barely able to watch anymore, Shen Qiang frowned and said, "Do you want me to step aside for a while so you two can argue? When you've had enough, call me, and then I'll come back to express my gratitude."

Bai Jiao fell silent.

Xu Nan just smiled without a word.

Seeing that neither of them was speaking, Shen Qiang waved to call over a staff member, saying, "Tell your chef to prepare his best dish."

After giving the instruction.

Shen Qiang was silent for a moment before he said, "Actually, from a personal standpoint, I'm very grateful to have met you both. Xu Nan, you helped me when I needed it most, and Bai Jiao, you were no small help either."

"I'm not good at flowery speeches, and I can't say words that will stir you with passion, but I hope you can understand that I wish, when we are together, we could temporarily put aside family, sect, and business matters. Just like real friends, let's chat happily, share some jokes, instead of arguing every time we meet."

Bai Jiao forced a laugh, rolling her eyes grandly, "Ha, don't blame me. Today, it was Xu Nan who started the provocation."

Xu Nan frowned and said coldly, "Last time it was you."

Seeing that the conversation between them had eased somewhat, Shen Qiang's eyes lit up, and he chuckled, "Let's agree that bygones be bygones, and from now on, let's interact normally, okay?"

"No way," Xu Nan said with a cold look.

Bai Jiao sneered, "Don't dream."

Shen Qiang felt awkward, looking at the two of them with eyes full of helplessness, saying, "Alright, you two princesses are really hard to please. Then I'll leave you to it, argue however you want, it's none of my business. Come on, start, argue, and whoever wins, I'll give a medal to."

Hearing this, both snorted coldly.

They said nothing more.

Just then, with hurried footsteps, Adrian from France, whom Shen Qiang had seen before at the Huaxia Gourmet Awards, rushed over. With excited eyes, he gazed at Shen Qiang and said admiringly in French, "Boss, I've finally met you. Please, you must teach me how to make those soulful, dreamy culinary delights!"
