"Yun, why didn't you inform your younger brother before coming?" Li Zhi paid little attention to Fang Guoxiang and instead turned his head to look at Yun, who was sitting next to the woman in the middle. Yun, a woman as familiar as she was, shone like a dazzling gem, captivating the attention of men wherever she went.
Today's dinner, however, was not hosted by Yun. Fang Guoxiang sat to the left of the woman in the middle, while Yun sat to the right. Li Zhi didn't know who the woman in the middle was, but she bore a striking resemblance to Fang Guoxiang. Her beauty and grace were no less than Yun's.
The nobility exuded from her was not something that could be feigned.
"Haha, how would I know if my little brother still remembers his sister!" Yun chuckled, her voice carrying a hint of teasing.
Li Zhi chuckled, "The experience brought by Yun is absolutely unforgettable for me." "It's hard to forget even if I wanted to."
"Bad boy!" Yun playfully scolded in a low voice.
Qian Rou, the woman in the middle, gazed at Yun and inquired with a smile, "Do you two know each other?"
"An Encounter of a Night!" Yun smiled, openly revealing her relationship with Li Zhi in front of everyone. They knew each other, but it definitely couldn't be considered very familiar. It was nothing more than a combination driven by alcohol and desire. Whether there would be any feelings involved, or if they would even remember what happened that night in the long run, was still uncertain.
Perhaps for Yun, it was just an occasional indulgence!
"Hehe," Qian Rou smiled, refraining from saying much due to the presence of the younger generation. If it were in private, she might have made a playful remark. She and Yun had been good friends since they were young. Although they hadn't met frequently in recent years, their bond and connection had never been severed. Of course, she also knew that it was due to Yun's deliberate efforts to maintain the relationship. What could be done about it? In her heart, there were indeed few people she could consider friends.
"Is this Fallen Star Tower yours?" "No wonder it's a shady place!" Fang Guoxiang snorted. Not only did she unexpectedly encounter Li Zhi here, but this place also turned out to be his establishment. New grudges and old grievances, when will they be settled!
"Shady place?" "I really don't like the way you put it," Li Zhi's smile gradually faded. He turned to look at Yun, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Those who come to Fallen Star Tower for a meal are people who appreciate and understand good food." And today, it is the greatest honor of your lives to be able to dine at Fallen Star Tower!
"The greatest honor of our lives?" "What do you mean?" Qian Rou, sitting at the head of the table, smiled and asked Li Zhi.
The four words "grace and nobility" were not an exaggeration when used to describe the woman speaking to Li Zhi. He had never seen such qualities in any woman, including Yun.
"What is your surname, sister?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.
Qian Rou gazed into Li Zhi's eyes for a moment before smiling and saying, "You can call me Sister Rou."
"Sister Rou, hehe, Sister Rou, you are the most elegant and mature woman I have ever met!" Li Zhi praised with a smile.
"You, full of tricks, if I give you a stick, do you still want…" Yun playfully scolded from the side. What Yun meant was, if she gave Li Zhi a stick, would he want to turn the world upside down.
Li Zhi's face revealed a wicked smile as he continued, "Do you want me to turn the world upside down with the stick, or do you want me to poke a hole in the sky?" You know, I'm quite daring. "As long as I'm given the opportunity, there's nothing I wouldn't dare to do."
Yun's thoughts were unclear, but she blushed and gave Li Zhi a disdainful look. Even Qian Rou, who was sitting beside her, flashed a hint of amusement in her eyes!
"The young man is quite interesting!" Qian Rou muttered.
At this point, Fang Guoxiang, who was sitting next to them, became unhappy and somewhat angry. "Auntie, are you helping me or him?" This kid is really not a good person. I am going to expose his questionable business practices today. Are you going to help me or not?
Before Qian Rou and Yun could speak, Li Zhi looked at her and coldly said, "Fang Guoxiang, you've been plotting against me, and I haven't settled the score with you yet." Let's put that aside for now. You keep saying that Fallen Star Tower is a shady place. "Can you tell me where it's shady?"
"288 million, is this paltry thing worth 288 million?" What is this? Even if it's made of gold, is it not worth 288 million, right? If you can't explain it, then your position is questionable. I am going to expose your questionable establishment today. "Are you going to help me or not?" Fang Guoxiang's real intention was to dismantle the establishment, not to get a refund.
Li Zhi was actually more inclined to refund the money to them. After introducing the ingredients and food, he could have cleared the dishes from the table in front of them, but ultimately, he chose not to. He didn't want to lose face in front of Yun, Qian Rou, and the others.
No refund will be provided. Consider these people lucky. Otherwise, from now on, they would only be able to stare at Fallen Star Tower. Once they left today, they would never be able to enter Fallen Star Tower again.
In the future, not just anyone will be able to visit the Fallen Star Tower. It had its own pride and dignity.
"Huang, please introduce a few dishes to our guests on my behalf!" Li Zhi stepped back and called Huang because he didn't know what the dishes were.
"Alright!"
Huang came over, squinting and smiling, "Let me start with the simplest dishes." We have seven portions of abalone, using double-headed abalone as the selected ingredient, a rare and precious item in the market, valued at over 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. Just with these seven abalones, I believe you already have an idea of whether Fallen Star Tower is a shady place or not!
"Next is the 'Emperor Crab'!"
As he said this, someone pushed a food cart in with a huge emperor crab on top.
"This emperor crab weighs over 70 catties, and the selected ingredient for the 'Emperor Crab' is the most essential part of this crab." "A 20-catty emperor crab is already rare, and a 70-catty one is definitely a top-grade item."
After the chef pushed the cart out, Huang pointed to another dish and said, "Shrimp balls, made from the rare and precious peony shrimp."
"Sashimi made using over 400 catties of bluefin tuna." Everyone here is an expert, and I assume you are all aware of the price of a top-quality bluefin tuna. "If you don't believe me, you can go downstairs and check the ingredients."
"Seven fresh delicacies crafted from seven top-grade seafood ingredients, including…"
Fang Guoxiang's eyes widened as he listened to Huang's introduction. Were these dishes really that expensive? Did they have so much value?
"Finally, I want to introduce the 'Grilled Lobster', which can be considered the signature dish of Fallen Star Tower." "Fresh lobster meat, grilled to perfection, with an exquisite taste!"
Someone pushed in another food cart, and on top of it was a huge lobster.
"The selected ingredients are definitely the essence of the lobster." Our guests can personally verify this!
"Finally, I want to present the 'Spring of Life'." The source of this spring water cannot be disclosed by our establishment, but I can tell you that the price of this water in our establishment is 300,000. It's not something that anyone can buy at any time. Its effects can slow down aging, beautify the skin, and promote health. After drinking it, I believe you will feel the difference!
After introducing the six dishes and the spring water, Huang stepped back, leaving the rest to Li Zhi.
"Any questions about the dishes at Fallen Star Tower?" Li Zhi asked calmly.
He added, "Of course, my previous offer still stands." If you feel that this meal is not worth 288 million, Fallen Star Tower can provide a full refund!
Li Zhi went unnoticed by everyone. Qian Rou couldn't help but start eating, followed by Yun, and even Fang Guoxiang.
No one could resist good food!
"Why didn't you just tell us what ingredients were used?" Instead, you made it seem so "simple." "Who knows what ingredients you used!" Fang Guoxiang grumbled, trying to save face, and swiftly changed the subject.
Li Zhi rolled his eyes. Just now, she was the one loudly accusing Fallen Star Tower of being a shady establishment.
"Enjoy your meal; we won't disturb you any longer!" Li Zhi led his people to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute, don't you have any red wine here?" "Hurry up and bring a bottle!" Fang Guoxiang stopped Li Zhi and gave an order.
Li Zhi couldn't be bothered with her. Huang arranged for someone to bring the red wine!
