Chapter 115 Put everything else on display.
Zhenxiu Pavilion is the most famous restaurant in Tianhui City. It is owned by the Jimo family and managed by Jimo Changliu. At this moment, the restaurant is crowded and bustling.
As soon as they entered the door, the waiter recognized Jimo Changliu at a glance, and hurried forward to lead them to a spacious private room on the second floor. This was a private room specially reserved for Jimo Changliu to check the account books and entertain business partners.
"Miss Zhou, just order whatever you want to eat." It was the first time that Jimo Changliu took the little girl out for dinner. Usually, he ate with his brothers and elders.
The Jimo family's business is managed by their family. Jimo Changliu is quite smart in business, and this restaurant is one of the most popular industries on this street.
Zhou Yun's palm gently brushed over the jade plate that the waiter placed on the table. The jade plate flickered and a menu appeared. She pointed casually, "This, this, this... and this..."
After a short pause.
Jimo Changliu said, "Miss Zhou, there's no need to be so reserved. Since I said I'm treating you to a meal, I won't let you order only a few dishes. That would make me look stingy. Please order a few more. I spent a lot of effort to invite the chef here. You must try all the signature dishes here."
Zhou Yun glanced at Jimo Changliu after hearing what he said, then said to the waiter slowly, "Except for the dishes I just selected, serve the rest."
After placing the order, she looked up and saw Jimo Changliu staring at her in astonishment. Zhou Yun asked in confusion, "Isn't this how you order food? This is how Jimo Yanzhou ordered when he took me out to dinner."
Is what you just said nonsense?
Jimo Changliu was startled. She actually compared him to Jimo Yanzhou, and seemed to be particularly protective of Jimo Yanzhou. This made him feel unhappy. Men are more or less competitive. He couldn't admit that he was not as good as that waste who had been exiled for more than ten years.
Jimo Changliu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Not really, I just didn't expect Miss Zhou, who looks so young, to have such a big appetite."
Zhou Yun rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do I have to finish all the food if I order too much?"
"That may not be the case." Jimo Changliu really couldn't keep up with Zhou Yun's thinking. He just felt that such waste was not a wise move. After all, every time he went out to discuss business, it was quite difficult and it was not easy to make money. The people in the family were extravagant all day long. He often gave them a great lecture and advised them to be frugal, but no one paid attention.
"You seem to be particularly protective of Jimo Yanzhou." Jimo Changliu stared at her, with a probing gleam in his eyes.
"He once saved my life." Zhou Yun pulled over a chair next to him and sat down gracefully.
"He saved you?" Jimo Changliu was slightly startled. He did not expect Jimo Yanzhou to have such a skill. He then said, "Then he is really lucky."
Zhou Yun responded calmly, "I am lucky. I met him when my city was destroyed, my family was ruined, and my life was hanging by a thread."
"Miss Zhou, are you speaking from the bottom of your heart?" Jimo Changliu seemed a little unbelievable. He always felt that her eyes contained too many complex emotions, which made them hard to understand.
"Of course it's the truth." Zhou Yun paused, and repeated with emphasis: "It's the truth, Jimo Yanzhou is really rare." He is the only one who is devoted to her. Even if she only regards him as a tool, he is still a useful tool that is easy to control.
"Miss Zhou, is it because Jimo Yanzhou saved you that you treat him differently? If I had known this, I should have stepped forward when Wushuang City was in crisis. If it was me who saved you..." Jimo Changliu looked at her meaningfully, "Will Miss Zhou also be devoted to me?"
Zhou Yun shook her head slightly, glanced at him calmly, and said slowly: "There is no if. Even if there is such a possibility, you would never save me under the circumstances at that time."
Only the "fool" Jimo Yanzhou could save her. Even if he knew her identity, he would not hesitate to hold her hand tightly and protect her behind him. Others would weigh the pros and cons, but he always had a pure heart.
"How do you know I won't save you, little sister Zhou?" Jimo Changliu seemed to disagree with what Zhou Yun said, and then added: "If he, Jimo Yanzhou, can do it, why can't I?"
Zhou Yun's eyes, as clear as a spring, looked at him, as if he could see through him. "Master Changliu weighed the pros and cons. Even if I came to Jimo's house to ask you for help, you might not help me."
After a long while, Jimo Changliu slowly spoke: "What Jimo Yanzhou can help you with, I can also do."
At this time, the dishes have been served one after another.
Zhou Yun picked up her chopsticks and reached for the fish on the plate in front of her. After a brief pause, she moved her chopsticks slightly, picked up a meatball next to it, and put it into the bowl.
Jimo Changliu noticed her actions and asked curiously, "Sister Zhou, don't you like eating fish?" Why didn't she mention this when ordering the dishes just now?
Zhou Yun picked up the meatball and took a bite, then answered slowly, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that there are too many fish bones and I'm too lazy to deal with it."
Jimo Changliu was slightly startled. She was so self-assured. Did she really think she was still the pampered aristocratic lady? He said, "Then I'll ask the waiter to remove the fish bones before serving it."
Zhou Yun quickly stretched out her chopsticks and stopped Jimo Changliu's hand from carrying the dish. She stared at Jimo Changliu, her eyes flickering with light, and said, "I don't like food that leaves my sight."
"What Xiaomei Zhou said is very true. It would be better to let the waiter remove the fish bones here in front of you." Jimo Changliu said.
“No need, you can pack it up later.” Zhou Yun said as he put the dishes into his bowl, his tone as calm as water.
After all, Jimo Yanzhou hadn't eaten yet, and she had specifically instructed before leaving that no maids were allowed to disturb him. Given Jimo Yanzhou's personality, would he definitely lie quietly on the bed without moving?
"So it was brought for Yanzhou." Jimo Changliu sighed: "Little Sister Zhou really has a deep love for Jimo Yanzhou."
Zhou Yun stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the shrimp, but stopped: "Pack this too." She was too lazy to peel the shrimp. Then, she picked up the chicken leg from the plate in front of Jimo Changliu.
"Jimo Yanzhou is injured, I'm afraid he can't eat shrimp." Jimo Changliu said, and suddenly realized that Zhou Yun was just a little girl, and it was inevitable that she didn't understand the situation, so he kindly reminded her.
Zhou Yun was eating and took the time to look up at him, "Master Changliu, do you have a bad memory?" Could it be that he has the same bad luck as Jimo Yanzhou?
Jimo Changliu was startled: "Why did you say that, little sister Zhou?"
Zhou Yun said: "I have said before, don't call me Zhou Xiaomei. We are not close friends yet, so I don't deserve to be called Xiaomei. I am not your Xiaomei either."
Jimo Changliu was embarrassed for a moment, "It's just a name, why do you have to be so serious, little sister Zhou? You can also call me Brother Changliu."
