Chapter 431 is so tragic, it's a wife-chasing crematorium 20
Zhao Wutong thought that Gu Xingze had treated her last time, so this time it should be her turn to treat.
Zhao Wutong said she would be treating everyone this time.
Gu Xingze agreed.
However, this time he was the one to decide on the restaurant location.
The restaurant that Gu Xingze booked this time was not near the school.
Gu Xingze said that he happened to be at a business event there that day.
It's more convenient to book the restaurant there.
This is quite convenient for Gu Xingze.
However, this was not so convenient for Zhao Wutong.
Zhao Wutong checked the route.
She needs to take three buses to get from school to her destination.
The estimated time is one and a half hours.
It would take at least three hours to go back and forth like that.
During the midday period, the intervals between buses will also be longer.
If you're unlucky, you might spend an hour just waiting for the bus.
Although Zhao Wutong didn't have classes during the last period in the morning and the first period in the afternoon, the time was still quite tight.
Gu Xingze knew that it wouldn't be convenient for Zhao Wutong to go there, so he sent a driver to pick her up from the school.
The driver went to pick him up, but no one recognized him.
The car was different from the one I drove when I gave a speech at the school before.
Nobody knew that the car belonged to him.
Although the car looked nicer, others assumed it was a nice taxi.
If it happens only once in a while, others won't pay much attention.
Zhao Wutong accepted Gu Xingze's proposal.
If a driver comes to pick you up, the trip will only take half an hour.
This will save her a lot of time.
Since she said she was treating, she definitely couldn't be late.
It's not good to make Gu Xingze wait for her every time.
As soon as get out of class ended, Zhao Wutong ran to the school gate, where Gu Xingze's driver was already waiting.
During class, Gu Xingze sent a message saying that he had already notified the driver to go there.
They also told Zhao Wutong the license plate number.
Just tell the driver the last four digits of his phone number.
This makes it more like taking a taxi.
Zhao Wutong found the corresponding license plate number at the school gate.
Several people were standing next to the car taking pictures.
Zhao Wutong walked over and told the driver the last two digits of his license plate.
The driver got out of the car and opened the back door for Zhao Wutong.
He even introduced himself as a Didi Chuxing exclusive driver, serving Zhao Wutong.
Upon hearing this, the people around realized that the chauffeur was driving such a nice car.
No wonder it's so expensive.
Moreover, the driver was wearing white gloves and a suit.
While we were waiting, I didn't hear a single complaint or urging.
The service was incredibly thoughtful; they even opened the door for the passengers as they boarded.
Indeed, there's a reason why things are expensive.
Zhao Wutong arrived at the restaurant.
Gu Xingze's activities are not over yet.
Zhao Wutong then went to the restaurant to wait.
This is a high-end restaurant. The receptionist at the entrance asked Zhao Wutong if she had a reservation.
Gu Xingze had already made a reservation at the restaurant.
Zhao Wutong gave Gu Xingze's name and the appointment number given to her during the previous reservation.
After the front desk verified the information, a greeter led Zhao Wutong into the restaurant.
The restaurant had a very quiet and relaxing atmosphere, with only soothing piano music playing.
The restaurant wasn't crowded; some people were drinking coffee, some were enjoying snacks, some were waiting, and some were chatting.
They all looked like elite individuals.
Zhao Wutong could feel that he was somewhat out of place with the others here.
But no one paid attention to Zhao Wutong, no one cared about her, and no one focused their attention on her.
Zhao Wutong was led to a seat.
This time, it wasn't a private room.
Instead, it was in the lobby.
However, this is a good location.
There are partitions at both the front and back.
You can't directly see the people at the tables in front and behind you.
To the left is a floor-to-ceiling window that overlooks the entire city of A and offers views of the river.
Only the right side is an aisle, where the waiters serve the food.
You can order by telling the waiter, or you can order yourself on the tablet corresponding to your table.
The tablet has detailed pictures and ingredients for each dish.
Zhao Wutong chose to watch it on the tablet by himself.
She had never been here before, and although she searched online, there weren't any very detailed travel guides.
There were only some photos that were unsure whether they were staged.
Zhao Wutong felt embarrassed to have the waiter wait on her while she ordered.
I'll take another look myself.
If you're unsure, ask Gu Xingze.
Gu Xingze is quite familiar with this area.
I just ordered one of their signature dishes.
Gu Xingze highly recommended it.
This restaurant has a pretty wide variety of dishes.
There are both Chinese and Western dishes.
They have juice and coffee.
There are snacks and fruits available.
However, the price is also very high.
Zhao Wutong ordered the signature dish, which cost 1,188 yuan.
Whether this dish is worth the price, Zhao Wutong doesn't know.
But this environment is definitely worth the price.
Zhao Wutong had already gotten a sense of the price when he looked it up online.
This feels acceptable.
After all, this is a big crab.
It's a main dish.
Not every dish here is this expensive.
Apart from a few dishes, the price was in the four figures, directly exceeding a thousand.
There are also some affordable dishes that cost only a few dozen yuan.
For example, at the very bottom, there's a watermelon juice that costs fifty-eight yuan a cup.
Eighty-eight yuan for a serving of smashed cucumber.
One hundred and eighty-eight stir-fried vegetables.
Vegetables are relatively inexpensive.
All are under 300 yuan.
Even if it comes with stir-fried meat slices, the price is still below 500 yuan.
Zhao Wutong said she would treat everyone to this meal.
She also brought her wallet bulging.
It's just a meal; she won't try to renege on her promise.
Zhao Wutong remembered that Gu Xingze had ordered relatively light dishes last time.
And it seems to prefer sweet and sour flavors.
Zhao Wutong then specially ordered several dishes with a sweet and sour flavor.
She looked at the description herself and quite liked it.
Gu Xingze has similar tastes to hers, so he probably likes it too.
Zhao Wutong asked Gu Xingze if there were any dietary restrictions here.
Gu Xingze said that he didn't dislike any of the restaurants, and Zhao Wutong could just choose whatever she wanted.
He'll probably finish in about ten more minutes.
I'll go to her place after this is over.
After Zhao Wutong ordered the food, Gu Xingze arrived.
Gu Xingze's outfit is very different today.
Very business-like and formal.
Her hair was combed meticulously.
They look like the kind of people who have stepped down from the negotiating table.
He was very different from the Gu Xingze I met last time.
Last time it felt like Senior Gu, this time it really feels like CEO Gu.
Gu Xingze briefly explained what meeting he had just attended.
Actually, he didn't want to attend this kind of business meeting at all.
However, given his status, he can only participate.
There was no way around the meeting, so I quickly canceled all my lunchtime social engagements.
He ran two minutes before the end.
Otherwise, I'll be dragged to a drinking party later.
Many seniors and elders, relying on their greater seniority, act arrogantly and domineeringly in front of him.
Because he is young, many people are putting pressure on him behind the scenes.
Zhao Wutong listened to Gu Xingze's story and then complained.
This is the first time I've realized that even a powerful CEO like Gu Xingze has moments when he's not in control of his own destiny.
