Chapter 26: There are many industries
Considering this was their first time eating alone, Lu Yunque specifically asked for a booth in the hall's enclosed box space to avoid feeling uncomfortable with Yun Zijin.
The waiter led them and arrived at the booth Lu Yunque had reserved.
The waiter picked up the tablet on the table, opened the menu, and handed it to the two people.
"Here is the menu. Would you like to order now?"
"Yes, order now."
Lu Yunque signaled to the waiter to give the tablet to Yun Zijin and let her order first.
"This is my first time here; I'm unfamiliar with it, so I'd better order it, Mr. Lu."
Yun Zijin doesn't like ordering food when she eats. She prefers someone to help her order and can wait and eat.
"Okay, is there anything you should avoid eating?"
Lu Yunque asked as he took the tablet in his hands.
"Don't eat offal. You can have onions, ginger, and garlic, but it's best not to have too much."
Yun Zijin doesn't reject onions, ginger, and garlic but doesn't like them. She will most likely refuse to eat the dish if there are too many of them.
Lu Yunque nodded to show that he understood.
His hands kept moving, and soon he finished ordering.
The waiter took the tablet, operated it quickly, and returned it to the table.
"The menu has been sent to the kitchen. Please wait a moment."
After the waiter finished speaking, he turned around to serve other guests.
Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque sat in their seats, and no one spoke for a long time. For a moment, the atmosphere seemed awkward.
"Just like when the clouds are low, it rains; when you sing softly, I am moved..."
Yun Zijin's cell phone rang at this time, and they both breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously. The call came at the right time.
"Um...let me take a call."
Yun Zijin picked up the phone and pointed to the incoming call on the screen.
"Miss Yun, please feel free to do as you please."
Of course, Lu Yunque would not refuse. He was even grateful for the phone call, which eased their awkward atmosphere.
Yun Zijin swiped the answer button.
"Hello, hello!"
"Good afternoon, Miss Yun. I'm Wang Zhongxin, the property manager of the Feicui Lakeside Community. I received news yesterday that our community has been bought in full by Miss Yun. I saw that you didn't come yesterday, so I called to ask you if there is a house in the community that needs to be rented out. Our property can fully handle this matter for you!"
After hearing Wang Zhongxin's self-introduction and the Emerald Lakeside Community he mentioned, Yun Zijin remembered that after she spent five million on Antique Street yesterday, the system gave her a rebate of 20 million and also rewarded her with a community.
Today, she was so busy chatting with Lu Yunque at Lu's about cooperation on the West Suburbs project that she forgot about the matter at Emerald Lake.
"Oh! If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. Look! The house must be rented out, but I still need to go and see the details. I'll be there at 2 pm. Please have someone prepare the documents."
Emerald Lakeside is a newly completed residential area. I don't know how the system worked, but they bought out the entire community. When Yun Zijin thinks about it now, he finds it unbelievable.
But none of this matters. Yun Zijin must know that all the procedures are legal and compliant and that she must pay the taxes.
"Okay, okay! I look forward to your visit on behalf of all the property staff!"
Yun Zijin felt embarrassed after hearing what Wang Zhongxin said and quickly found an excuse to end the call.
"Ms. Yun has quite a lot of assets. Not only does she own land in the southern suburbs, but she also owns houses. I, Lu, can't compare to her."
Lu Yunque's tone was teasing, and there was a smile in his eyes that he didn't even notice. "Please don't make fun of me, Mr. Lu. My assets are nothing compared to the Lu Group."
Although the system gave her many industries, Yun Zijin understood her assets.
What will happen in the future is still unknown, but what she has now, compared with Lu's, is the difference between an ant and a tree.
"This is different. Lu's is indeed a behemoth, but it is a capital chain. The company's account balance may not be high with various project investments."
Yun Zijin collects rent, and all the money he gets is cash flow. When the critical moment comes, Yun Zijin may be able to come up with more money than him.
Yun Zijin did not comment on Lu Yunque's statement.
Her bank card has a balance of over 10 billion, thanks to the rewards she receives from collecting rent and spending freely.
"If you don't mind, the Xijiao project welcomes Miss Yun to invest in it."
After talking for so long, Lu Yunque finally revealed his true colors.
Knowing Yun Zijin was a wealthy landlady, he set his sights on her wallet.
"I just collected your rent, and Mr. Lu wants me to invest in the company. He deserves death!"
Yun Zijin did not give Lu Yunque a direct answer.
Yun Zijin believes he cannot defeat a behemoth like the Lu family and does not want to interact with them too much unless necessary.
Lu Yunque smiled and did not continue the topic.
At this time, several waiters came over with the dishes, which they put on the table individually.
Yun Zijin asked the waiter for a bowl of white rice.
Lu Yunque was a little surprised at Yun Zijin's request for white rice:
"I thought you girls only ate vegetables to avoid getting fat or didn't eat meat or carbohydrates for a long time."
"Then just treat me as if I'm not a girl. If I skip meals, I'll be the one who's hungry and uncomfortable. Why bother?"
Yun Zijin doesn't like the current aesthetic of being fair, young, and thin. How can you get fat without overeating and eating three meals daily? This is to meet the normal nutritional needs of the human body!
If so many people eat three meals a day normally and get fat, then wouldn't the streets be full of fat girls?
"You are right to think so. I don't understand those who only eat two vegetables in one meal."
Lu Yunque strongly recognized Yun Zijin's idea.
"Right, so I never try to lose weight on purpose. I can't stand being too thin!"
"Then eat more. If you like it, come back next time."
Lu Yunque used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised pork for Yun Zijin.
"I heard it's hard to book a seat here. I don't know when I can come next time."
After saying that, Yun Zijin picked up the braised pork and took a bite.
"A friend of mine owns this place. If you want to come next time, call me, and I'll reserve a seat for you."
Lu Yunque casually gave Yun Zijin a small privilege.
"Your friends? Are they the ones I met at the auction last time?"
Yun Zijin subconsciously thought of the few people who visited the auction with Lu Yunque.
"No, my friend often has to fly abroad for work, and he opened Liuxian Pavilion just because he wanted to eat authentic Chinese food.
Except for Teikyo, the head office and the other branches are all in places where he flies frequently."
Yun Zijin: ...
"Sure enough, those who can be friends with Mr. Lu are not ordinary people."
Opening a store can become a global chain, and it is hard to get a seat. It is easy to break people's defenses when they hear it!
