Chapter 30 - Order Cantonese Dishes

Yun Jin understood. Zheng Han wanted her to help him invest nominally in private without informing Old Master Zheng.

However, she was not at a disadvantage. Not only would she be earning money, if Zheng Han dared to lie to her, Old Master Zheng would definitely help her.

“Okay.” Yun Jin shook the carrier in her hand and nodded.

Zheng Han was satisfied. He pointed at the bag of clothes in Yun Jin’s hands and asked, “Don’t shake it so much, otherwise the money will fall out.”

“What money?” Yun Jin was confused.

“Eh, didn’t you see it when you stuffed the clothes into the carrier?”

Yun Jin immediately reached into the bag and touched the bottom of the clothes. Her expression suddenly changed. She turned around and wanted to go back, but Zheng Han pulled her back.

“Don’t. We’ve already finished talking about becoming a shareholder and the dividends. He even gave you the money, which means that he thinks it’s worth it. You’re willing to work with me to earn money, so why won’t you take his money?”

“You earned this money with your ability. My ideas are all thanks to me.”

Yun Jin said mockingly, “Wait until your ideas really earn money before saying that!”

Even though she said that, she also realized that what Zheng Han said was right. She stopped turning back.

At the construction site.

Some of the people had already left, but there were still nearly ten people. Some of them were men and some of them were women. They were discussing where to eat later.

Originally, they had decided to go to the old restaurant that they used to frequent, but Lu Cai suggested something new.

“Don’t go to that restaurant. It’s nothing new. Isn’t there a new Cantonese restaurant nearby? Let’s go have some seafood.”

She wanted to make Yun Jin embarrass herself once and get as far away from the circle that she was in, as possible.

Cantonese food was expensive. It was within the acceptable range for people like them to share it.

However, it was different for Yun Jin.

Given her background, they thought that she must be spending the Zheng family’s money now and did not know the price of Cantonese cuisine.

If she were to be intimidated by the prices when ordering the dishes later, it would be a big joke.

However, if she were to order recklessly, Lu Cai would be even happier. She would tell everyone in her social circle about Yun Jin’s background later. ‘A woman like her from the countryside will definitely face criticism for spending money lavishly. Let’s see who would continue to praise her.’

“Cantonese cuisine? It’s quite popular in the Pearl River Delta. They’ve expanded to the capital in such a grand manner. I wonder what the new restaurant is like. Okay, let’s go to that one.”

Bai Lei had just angered Lu Cai and was worrying about how to make her happy. He immediately supported her suggestion.

Then, he asked the others for their opinions. No one had any objections.

Zheng Han and Yun Jin came back and learned about the proposal.

Zheng Han did not care about such a small matter. Yun Jin wanted to finish her meal early and return to the Zheng family as soon as possible. She still had to attend junior brother Lin Yuan’s class the next day, so she did not say much.

Thus, they decided to go to the Cantonese restaurant.

Lu Cai smiled in satisfaction until Wen Zi started to speak.

“Wow, Miss Yun, you’re wearing a streetwear shirt, huh? You have such a personality. Zheng Han must have picked it out for you.”

Lu Cai looked at the words on Yun Jin’s clothes and immediately understood that she was silently criticizing her. She pursed her lips and anger flashed across her eyes.

‘How could Zheng Han have picked it out? Such a petty thing must have been done by Yun Jin herself!’

However, Zheng Han’s nod of approval had vetoed Lu Cai’s imagination. It also made her understand that Zheng Han, who kept calling her Sister Cai, already had a faint abhorrence for her. It was only because she had slightly targeted Yun Jin.

Lu Cai’s face became sullen.

Bai Lei was really right. Zheng Han and Yun Jin might not be in a romantically exclusive relationship, but Zheng Han definitely cared about Yun Jin and was deliberately protecting her!

‘Then my sister… No, no, the Lu family must be in a marriage alliance with the Zheng family!’

After entering the Cantonese restaurant, Lu Cai’s mood returned to normal.

She took the opportunity when Zheng Han went to the bathroom to take the initiative to pass the menu to Yun Jin.

“Order whatever you like.”

“Every time a new friend comes to a dinner party, they will be the first to choose the dishes. This is your first time having dinner with us, so you can choose.”

Yun Jin knew that she had bad intentions, so she raised her guard against her sudden enthusiasm.

She did not take it and shook her head. “I don’t know much about Cantonese cuisine. You guys can choose instead.”

Lu Cai directly placed the menu in front of her. She smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. Even if you order something that isn’t delicious, it’s fine. It’s an old rule for newcomers to order. Don’t reject it.”

She smiled happily. Those who did not know much about the price of Cantonese cuisine thought that she was expressing her goodwill to Yun Jin, so they all agreed to persuade Yun Jin to order.

However, there were also those who knew the price of Cantonese cuisine, such as Bai Lei. He frowned.

Cantonese food was currently popular and considered a trendy consumer good. Cantonese cuisine included dishes like Australian lobster, abalone, bird’s nest, wings, and so on. They were all expensive ingredients served in small quantities, so there were no cheap and affordable dishes on the menu at all.

Bai Lei could not interrupt Lu Cai. After all, Lu Cai was his girlfriend. If he spoke now, he would be putting Lu Cai to shame.

Moreover, Lu Cai might not have done it on purpose..

Bai Lei was in a dilemma. He did not want to think that his girlfriend was a bad person.

Uncle Li vaguely felt that the atmosphere was not right, but as a chauffeur, it was not appropriate for him to speak at this time.

Yun Jin listened to the echoing voices and flipped open the menu. The price of the dishes on the first page surprised her.

‘Is the food in the capital so expensive?!’

Ever since she came to the capital, she had been eating at the Zheng family and school. She had never eaten out.

But thinking of the thousands of Yuan she had easily earned today, Yun Jin adjusted her state of mind and started to order the dishes leisurely..
