Jack turned his head to glance at Zhao Qiang, but Zhao Qiang did not smile. He glanced at Liu Li next to him, seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. Finally, he blinked quickly at Jack.
It seems to be really famous!
Perhaps this Victor has some relationship with his nominal wife Vivian?
Jack had just arrived in Tianxuan City and didn’t know the situation here, but he was not in a hurry.
After Liu Li and the others finished laughing, they seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not mention the matter any more. The topic was quickly changed and everyone continued to drink and chat in a lively atmosphere.
At around nine o'clock, the dinner ended. Liu Li stood up and clapped his hands, saying, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. If you guys have nothing to do, you can continue to drink in the bar area. Just put the bill on me!"
"good!"
"Thank you, Brother Li!"
Liu Li walked past Jack, patted Jack on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Have fun!"
Jack smiled and said, "Thank you for the treat!"
Liu Li laughed and left.
Jack walked up to Zhao Qiang and said with a smile: "Let's go out and find a place to talk?"
Zhao Qiang smiled and said, "I'm too lazy to change places, so let's go to the bar here and we can just find a place to sit alone."
Jack did not object and readily agreed: "That's fine!"
A group of young men and women left the private room, walked through a corridor, took the elevator to the basement level, and entered the bar area of the Tianyu Club.
There were already quite a few customers in the bar, basically all handsome men and beautiful women in bright and beautiful clothes. Some were whispering in the dark areas, while others were drinking and making noise in groups of three or five. The scene was quite lively.
Zhao Qiang greeted everyone else, then took Jack to a remote, empty sofa booth and sat down. He asked the waiter to bring drinks and snacks, and handed over his membership card.
Jack peeled off a pistachio, put the kernel into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Didn't Liu Li say that he would pay for it?"
Zhao Qiang curled his lips and said, "Who needs his little wine money? I want to talk about other things today, otherwise I wouldn't hang out with him. He and I are not the same kind of people."
Jack laughed and scolded: "We are not the same kind of people, so why did you drag me here? When I left, my wife said that Liu Li is not a good person and asked me to stay away from him."
Zhao Qiang chuckled, moved a little closer, and whispered, "It's so boring for me to be alone, so just think of it as coming to keep me company. After we finish our work, can't we have a drink and chat?"
Jack picked up the bottle and filled the glass in front of Zhao Qiang, then filled his own glass, and asked, "What's going on with Victor?"
Zhao Qiang raised his glass and clinked it with Jack, then explained: "In fact, the matter is very simple. Victor and my sister-in-law are both outstanding martial artists of the young generation in Tiannan Province, and they are martial arts geniuses. Victor has always been arrogant and has an attitude of being the best in the world. Who would have thought that he would be defeated by my sister-in-law when he faced her later..."
Jack raised his eyebrows: "Want revenge?"
"That's not the case..."
Zhao Qiang hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind and said, "I'll tell you the truth. Anyway, you just got here and you don't know. You will know after staying for a while. Victor is my sister-in-law's suitor!"
"Suitors?"
Jack suddenly realized: "No wonder those people laughed so hard that their noses were not noses and their eyes were not eyes..."
Zhao Qiang was worried that Jack would be angry, so he quickly comforted him, "Jack, don't take it to heart. This is just Victor's unrequited love. After all, my sister-in-law is so beautiful and capable. How many people in Tianxuan City regard her as their dream lover? Hey, I say you are so lucky to marry her. I don't know how many people are so envious that they want to kill you!"
Jack laughed and said, "This is also because of my grandfather's help. If it were just me, this would never be possible."
Speaking of Mr. Patrick, Zhao Qiang's face was full of respect: "That's right, Mr. Patrick's reputation is known to all children. Although the Du family is a new and powerful family, you are Mr. Patrick's only grandson, which is not bad. You are a good match!"
Jack didn't want to talk too much about Vivian, so he changed the subject and said, "I came out this time because I have something I want to consult you about."
"What is it? Tell me."
Zhao Qiang replied, holding the cup, but his eyes were patrolling the various beauties in the bar.
Jack smiled and said, "Two things. First, your family runs a chain of restaurants. I wonder if you need some gourmet secret recipes. Second, I plan to open a private restaurant..."
Zhao Qiang turned his head in surprise: "Open a private restaurant? No way, the Du family is big and powerful. Not to mention the Du family, my sister-in-law also manages a large amount of Du family assets. Why do you need to start a business by yourself? Besides, how much can you make by opening a private restaurant? Don't you find it tiring?"
Jack answered frankly: "The Du family is not short of money. Vivian also gave me a card with a lot of money in it. I can use it at will. But I am a grown man. Can I use my wife's money? The Du family has a lot of assets, but they belong to the Du family. Even if I want to help, I can't, and I don't want to. But my cooking skills are still good, so I plan to do something myself. No matter how much money it is, it is always my own business. Besides, who said that private restaurants don't make money?"
Jack's words were sincere. After getting married, Vivian knew that Jack didn't have much money, so she gave him a card and let him spend it as he pleased. The original owner was angry at her behavior, so she spent money without restraint. However, Jack was different from the original owner.
It's so shameful for a grown man to spend a woman's money.
If she was really his wife, then the family would have a reason to keep quiet. But they were just nominal husband and wife. What was the point of spending Vivian's money?
A gigolo?
A paid shield?
After all, I am a master chef now and a man with a special skill. Isn't it easy for me to make some money?
Besides, how can you earn shock points if you don’t use your expertise to do something?
In his previous life, Jack was a firefighter. He was busy with work on weekdays and ate very simply. In his free time, he always liked to go to the vegetable market, buy some good vegetables and cook a sumptuous meal for himself. This was also one of his pleasures. Now he won a master chef in the first lottery, which was also a kind of fate.
Zhao Qiang understood what he said: "Is that so? That's fine. You have such good cooking skills. If you open a private restaurant, you will definitely have customers... By the way, what's the secret recipe you just mentioned?"
Jack smiled and said, "If you need a gourmet secret recipe, I will sell you a few. I need money to open a private restaurant. Don't worry, we are classmates, I won't cheat you. The goods are genuine and absolutely delicious. I will give you a 50% discount."
Zhao Qiang came back to his senses and said with a smile: "After all this time, you are planning to make your first pot of gold in my house. Okay, who in the catering industry doesn't want a secret recipe for delicious food? Two or three exclusive dishes are enough to support a restaurant's prosperous business. As long as you can really come up with a good enough secret recipe for delicious food, I don't need you to give a discount, I will just give you the full price!"
Jack smiled slightly and was about to speak when a faint and elegant fragrance blew over him. A soft and tender voice sounded behind Jack: "Handsome guy, what a coincidence, we meet again..."
