Chapter 160: Chapter 160: The Secret Recipe Wasn’t Given by You_1
Greenland Restaurant.
This is one of Zhonghai’s most upscale Western restaurants, specializing in French cuisine.
To meet Qin Feng, Yu Keqing had gotten all dolled up, donning a sultry and enchanting purple dress.
Around her deep V-neckline, she wore her favorite diamond necklace.
Qin Feng, as usual, was dressed extremely casually.
Stall-bought T-shirt paired with stall-bought baggy shorts.
That was his standard outfit.
Simple and dismissive.
The moment Yu Keqing saw Qin Feng’s attire, she felt somewhat unhappy inside.
"You come out to have dinner with me dressed like this?" she asked, irritated.
"Can’t I dress like this? I’m not indecent."
"You also want to be indecent? Going out to dinner with someone, don’t you know to dress up a bit? Look at you, you look like a dirty little kid."
"You despise it, huh?"
"I despise it."
"Then I’m leaving."
"Stop! Don’t you dare leave!"
"You despise me, yet you don’t let me leave?"
"I despise you, but tonight you’re mine, no running away!"
Qin Feng always found something off about that remark; it sounded weird to him.
Wasn’t tonight supposed to be just a simple dinner?
Why did this woman give off the vibe of a Hongmen Banquet?
"Why on earth are you asking me out for dinner without any reason?"
Feeling uneasy, Qin Feng decided to ask for clarification.
"Do I need a reason to ask you out for dinner? Of course, I asked because I wanted to! If I’m in a good mood, I invite you out for a meal, that’s all!"
Yu Keqing, in her high heels, led the way ahead.
Qin Feng followed behind her, his eyes glued to her swaying figure, unable to help but become mesmerized.
This woman’s silhouette was truly beautiful!
The Charm Physique, naturally exuding a captivating charm that was irresistibly enchanting.
Yu Keqing knew Qin Feng was sneakily watching her from behind, so she twisted her body even more provocatively.
After all, a woman loves it when the man she fancies admires her in secret.
The more he stares without blinking, the more he is enchanted, the itchier his heart feels, proving further how much allure she possesses.
Finally, Yu Keqing led Qin Feng to a table by the floor-to-ceiling window.
This was the best spot in the entire restaurant, from where one could enjoy the city’s most beautiful night view.
After they took their seats.
Yu Keqing smiled and asked, "What would you like to eat?"
"Anything."
"Men shouldn’t be so careless."
"Then let’s choose whatever’s expensive."
"Are you trying to slaughter me? Be careful, or I might not have enough money to pay the bill later and have to leave you here as collateral."
Yu Keqing called over the blond, blue-eyed waiter and ordered in fluent French.
Qin Feng, who had never learned French, didn’t understand a single word.
"Ordering in French? Are you bullying me because I didn’t go to primary school?"
"You don’t understand?"
"I don’t understand."
"You deserve to not understand! You were told to study hard at school, but you spent all your days peeping at your female classmates."
While waiting for the dishes, Yu Keqing took out a small glass bottle with no label, containing two anxiety-relief pills.
"Look at this."
Yu Keqing passed the small glass bottle to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng opened the bottle, poured out a pill, and sniffed it at the tip of his nose.
The sniff made him slightly startled.
"Where did you get this?" he asked.
"Don’t worry about where I got it from just yet. Can you tell what this is?"
"This is an ancient formula, called Free and Easy Powder. After taking this stuff, you’ll feel almost like you’re floating in the heavens. However, you can’t take too much of it, no more than one pill every three days. Of course, it’s best not to take it at all because it’s addictive. If you just take one or two, it’s no big deal, but if you take too much, in the long run, the harm it can do to your body is substantial."
Yu Keqing was shocked by Qin Feng’s assessment.
She looked at him with a puzzled face and asked, "What did you say? You mean to say that taking this stuff can harm the body? These are called anxiety-relief pills, a product of Ren’antang. I had them tested, and they contain only ordinary traditional medicine ingredients, nothing harmful! At least from what the ingredients suggest, they should be harmless to the human body, right? How can they be harmful?"
"Free and Easy Powder, or as you call it, these anxiety-relief pills, if tested, indeed show no issues with their ingredients. However, the medicinal components of Free and Easy Powder need to combine with a person’s saliva to produce that miraculous reaction, especially after being chewed with teeth, the reaction is even greater."
At this point, Qin Feng suddenly remembered something.
"The Ren’antang you mentioned, what’s its background?"
This question left Yu Keqing completely dumbfounded.
Her eyes widened as she retorted, "Didn’t you introduce Ren’antang?"
Now it was Qin Feng’s turn to be dumbfounded.
"Me, introduce it? I’ve never even heard of Ren’antang, what are you talking about?"
"The secret formula for White Cream, wasn’t it you who gave it to Xiao Manlian?"
"Who is Xiao Manlian?"
Qin Feng wasn’t pretending; he genuinely did not know Xiao Manlian.
"Then when I asked you if you knew about White Cream, you said you did?"
"I do know about White Cream!
But I don’t know any Xiao Manlian at all!
So how could I have given her the secret formula for White Cream?"
"So you’re saying the secret formula for White Cream that Xiao Manlian has wasn’t from you?"
"Of course not."
"You bastard! You’ve ruined me! I thought the secret formula for White Cream was given by you, so I didn’t give it another thought and approved the project. Now it’s over, I’m screwed!"
"What’s going on?" Qin Feng was a bit confused, not understanding what the woman was talking about.
"All because of you, bastard! Misleading me time and time again, making me think you were helping me, so I didn’t think it through. Now, Huanmei Group has put all its bets on White Cream. If the product is produced and fails in the end, Huanmei Group is doomed."
"Doomed? That’s great! Once you’re doomed, you can just sell Huanmei Group to Haiyun Group and then go work as the CEO for Shencao Ji!"
"Be CEO of your big head ghost!" Yu Keqing glared at Qin Feng, then asked seriously, "Will you help me or not?"
"I won’t help!"
"Fine! You won’t help! Even without your help, you stinking kid, I’ll rebuild Huanmei Group from scratch. Even if the secret formula for White Cream didn’t come from you, I’ve decided to take the risk."
Yu Keqing made up her mind with a determined heart.
At this point, she had no other choice.
Just then, a guy who was rounder than a winter melon and looked quite pot-bellied, strutted over with his big belly leading the way.
Qin Feng glanced at the guy and asked Yu Keqing, "Do you know him?"
Yu Keqing shook her head, "I don’t know him."
As the two were talking, Fatty Winter Melon had already arrived at their table.
"Beauty, can I add you on WeChat?"
