Chapter 1977: Chapter 1977 Shad Without Thorns (second update)

Was this really necessary?

Song Jinning’s fair and creamy cheeks slowly turned pink.

For a moment, she didn’t know what to say, and she didn’t dare to nod casually. She stood there frozen, not knowing where to look.

After the waiter served the dishes, song jinning still maintained her original position. Lu Yuan looked on anxiously for her neck.

Without thinking too much, Lu Yuan’s hand went around her neck and placed it on the back of Song Jinning’s neck. He pressed on one of the acupuncture points.

Song jinning grunted, and her stiff neck came back to life.

Her face turned even redder, and she stared at Lu Yuan helplessly. “President Lu…”

Before she could protest against Lu Yuan’s “Touching”, Lu Yuan had already retracted his hand. Taking the opportunity, he took the freshly squeezed coconut milk from the waiter and poured a cup for song jinning. He said with a smile, “Do you want coconut milk?”

“Yes.”Song jinning nodded and took a sip.

Lu Yuan nonchalantly picked up a crab roe soup bun for her and placed it on her plate. “This is good. Help Yourself.”

Song Jinning picked it up with her chopsticks and took a bite. She frowned and said without thinking, “It’s not that good. It’s not as good as yours.”

Because Gu Nianzhi liked seafood, Lu Yuan had picked out seafood that he knew how to cook for her a few times in the past month. The Crab Roe Soup Bun was one of them.

Lu Yuan also picked up a crab roe soup bun and put it in his mouth to taste, he said, “The ingredients of the authentic crab roe soup bun are crab roe and crab meat. Add a bit of chicken soup and pork chops, and add the cooked meat jelly together. The emphasis is on making the noodles as thin as paper and breaking them with a puff of air.”

“The crab roe soup dumplings here were prepared by the restaurant after all. They didn’t use fresh hairy crabs to break apart the crab roe and crab meat. They only used canned crab meat and salted duck egg yolks instead. The meat jelly wasn’t made freshly either. The chicken soup was also canned chicken soup bought from the supermarket. Of course, it can’t be compared to the homemade chicken soup.”

Song Jinning was stunned when she heard that. Unknowingly, she forgot about her nervousness and embarrassment. She said,”… how can you tell? Although I can’t Cook as well as you can, the difference is actually not that big…”

Lu Yuan looked at her and smiled even more deeply. “Really? If the difference isn’t big, then eat more.”

As he said that, he placed another crab roe soup bun on her plate.

Then, he picked up the steamed shad with his chopsticks. After picking off the spines, he placed it on her plate and said, “The shad here is still fresh.”

Song jinning rarely ate fish because she hated fish spines.

However, Lu Yuan actually noticed that the shad on her plate had all been picked off.

Shad without stingers was truly delicious. Song jinning almost swallowed her tongue.

She smiled and said, “If Nianzhi finds out, she’ll be furious! She Won’t be able to eat such delicious food.”

As she spoke, Song Jinning had an idea. She took out her phone and took a photo. After she posted the photo, she added, “Some people won’t be able to come to dinner tonight. It’s a pity that the shad is so delicious. It hasn’t been stung yet!”

In less than a minute, song jinning noticed that someone had replied to her wechat moments.

It was Gu Nianzhi.

She mischievously replied to the picture she had just posted: “Important thing: Shad doesn’t have thorns!”! Shad didn’t have thorns! Shad didn’t have thorns! How could shad not have thorns? Of course someone had picked them! Look at that hand hidden in the mirror… it’s already taken a screenshot. Deleting it won’t Help!”.

Song Jinning’s eyes widened as she searched the nine palace picture, and sure enough, she saw that she had accidentally smacked Lu Yuan’s hand into it.

“… I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”Song jinning subconsciously apologized to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback, and took out his phone to take a look as well.

Lu Yuan laughed when he saw song Jinning’s recent moments and Gu Nianzhi’s mischievous message.

He swiped his fingers on his phone and replied to Gu Nianzhi: [ it’s really delicious. Have you recovered from your illness? Can you take screenshots now? ].

Gu Nianzhi was in the kitchen of Huo Shaoheng’s official residence at the moment. She watched as Huo shaoheng cooked paella fried rice for her while she played on her phone.

Gu Nianzhi quickly clicked on it when she saw that someone had replied to her post.

“TSK TSK, president Lu is really going all out. Even a simple sentence can contain a hint of ‘killing intent’! A big shot trying to woo his girlfriend with threats and enticement, tsk!”

Gu Nianzhi replied to Lu Yuan’s message and only made a few “Disdainful”emojis.

Lu Yuan smiled and put away his phone. He said to song jinning, “Nianzhi is a mischievous person, don’t take it to heart.”

Song jinning nodded lightly.

Lu Yuan’s attitude was normal and peaceful. He was neither distant nor polite, nor intimate.

The uneasiness in song Jinning’s heart gradually subsided, and she was able to start chatting with Lu Yuan.

“Shaoheng’s one-month vacation is coming to an end, and he’s going to work in two days. Nianzhi is also going to report to the Senate, and Lu Jin is going to be a professor at our place. CEO Lu, what do you plan to do in the future?”

Lu Yuan glanced at song jinning and said, “I have a two-year release period. I Won’t be able to do any related work for the next two years, so I want to help Lu Jin manage the company first.”

“Oh? Professor Lu has set up a company?”Song Jinning was interested. “What does he want to invest in?”

“Of course he wants to use his technology.”Lu Yuan said and showed song jinning the patent that Lu Jin had just applied for. “Here, this is his first patent. Don’t even think about it. He’ll definitely make a lot of money in the future.”

“Electric car battery patent? ! That’s Amazing!”Song Jinning exclaimed. “If it’s just a patent, then licensing is enough, right? What kind of company does he want?”

“He’ll have a lot of patents in the future. It’s better to run a company by himself.”What Lu Yuan said was not a trade secret. Anyone could listen to him.

Of course, Song Jinning was not an outsider. Apart from state secrets, Lu Yuan was willing to share anything in his life with song jinning.

“What do you mean by ‘many’?”Song Jinning’s heart skipped a beat. “Will this delay professor Lu’s teaching work?”

“No,”Lu Yuan said with a smile. “We plan to set up an investment company. At the moment, his patented technology is the biggest asset. If you want to cooperate with us, we don’t want cash, we want the other party’s shares.”

Song Jinning was not very clear about these business things. She only listened to Lu Yuan’s explanation, so she could only nod and look at him with adoration.

Lu Yuan was overjoyed, but he could still remain calm.

The meal lasted from six to eight. The waiter came over and walked back and forth between the two seats several times. Only then did Lu Yuan and song Jinning pay the bill and leave unsatisfied.

“Let’s go watch a movie.”Coming to the parking lot, Lu Yuan walked to song Jinning’s car very naturally. “I’m not driving. I’ll be your driver.”

Song Jinning handed over the car keys and asked curiously, “Why aren’t you driving? Is it too congested? It’s not bad today. When I came over after work, there wasn’t much traffic.”

Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said, “It’s more convenient to take a taxi.”

Song Jinning couldn’t figure out why taking a taxi was more convenient than driving herself, but she wisely didn’t ask further. She pulled open the other car door and sat inside.

Lu Yuan had just driven song Jinning’s car away when Huo Guanchen got out of his own car.

He looked at the familiar car with an obscure gaze. Naturally, he saw Lu Yuan get into the car just now.

“… second brother, what are you looking at?”Zhang Baochen got out of the car behind him. He did not see Lu Yuan and song jinning leaving together.

Huo Guanchen came back to his senses and said lightly, “Nothing, I saw an acquaintance… two acquaintances.”

Zhang Baochen did not care. “Go in. Miss Guo is already waiting inside.”

What a coincidence. Guo Huining suddenly invited them to dinner today. It was also at the “House on the lake”.
