Galaxy Domination Guide

This was a restaurant that was not easy to find, as they said, it was an insider restaurant, actually, only when the restaurant owner brought someone over, or as a dining card given as a gift to others, could one dine here.

Although the exterior was unobtrusive, the interior was decorated with particular delicacy. It was not the kind of luxury where nearly everything had to be made glittering with gold, instead, it was imbued with a subtle, elegant Eastern style.

The bamboo in the hall was especially thoughtful, pruned with great skill, while to the side were pavilions and terraces with the sound of trickling water, quite exquisite.

The dinner was not just for four people; in fact, Yang Yixian had also invited a few friends, and there were eight people sitting at the table in total, all of whom were quite influential. However, these people obviously also looked up to Yang Yixian, fawning over him.

The table was not a traditional round one, but a long one, which indicated that the food was shared. There were also plenty of utensils, including knives, forks, and spoons, and even a pair of ivory chopsticks, convenient for guests who might need them.

After everyone was seated, Yang Yixian naturally sat opposite Han Jiaxue, a position that was clearly conducive to conversation. Bai Zhongqi sneered inwardly; he had already roughly understood what was going on today. Zhao Wenling was obviously planning to sell out her bestie, but at least Han Jiaxue had called him here today.

Bai Zhongqi sat next to Han Jiaxue, and on Han Jiaxue's other side was Zhao Wenling.

Yang Yixian began by showing off his taste, saying, "The head chef of this restaurant is a craftsman with unique ideas. His specialty is blending several ordinary ingredients into a delicious and exquisite dish. I recommend that you, Jiaxue, try his bamboo shoot foie gras, it's fantastic."

Han Jiaxue politely said thank you and turned to ask Bai Zhongqi, "What would you like to eat?"

Bai Zhongqi was feeling relaxed and said with a laugh, "The dishes on my side are quite simple; some are quite interesting, though. After eating a lot, it always seems like the variety just repeats itself. Haha, I must thank Young Master Yang, I've been craving for some days now, and coming back, I can eat at a Michelin three-star restaurant.

Since he recommended the bamboo shoot foie gras, then I'll give it a try."

Bai Zhongqi's words were quite self-effacing, not only did Zhao Wenling look down upon hearing them, but even the friends of Yang Yixian at the table could not help but show mocking expressions. The bumpkin really hadn't seen anything, thinking foie gras was something so remarkable.

Completely ignoring the others, Han Jiaxue nodded at Bai Zhongqi's words, looked at the menu printed like a piece of craftwork, thought for a moment, and said, "Then I'll order this cherry trout."

Yang Yixian on the side praised, "The cherry trout here is also extraordinary, Jiaxue, you have good taste. It's a dish that uses traditional kaiseki cuisine handed down from the old Ni Hong teahouse, improved with Western culinary studies, creating a fine dish that can fully showcase the unique texture of the fish.

Seasoning instead enhances the inherent characteristics of the ingredients, it's a very sophisticated dish."

Han Jiaxue then turned her head again to speak to Bai Zhongqi, saying, "I still remember you grilled a salmon fillet for me to eat, it had a very similar taste to this dish."

Zhao Wenling couldn't help but interject, "Hahaha, Jiajia, don't joke around. This is an exclusive dish created by a Michelin three-star chef, using the best cherry trout, it can't be compared to the salmon you bought from the supermarket."

Sipping his tea leisurely, Bai Zhongqi responded, "Originally, the cherry trout is a kind of salmon."

Seeing Zhao Wenling looking embarrassed, Yang Yixian intervened to smooth things over, changing the subject and asking, "Xiao Bai, where are you high employed?"

Bai Zhongqi laughed sarcastically; Zhao Wenling had called him by his surname Bai, and now this guy had really taken it to heart, referring to him as Xiao Bai. Annoyed, he said, "I'm an unemployed idler, loafing around every day, caring and caring about the nation's big affairs."

Hearing Bai Zhongqi's words, Han Jiaxue couldn't help but burst into laughter and patted his thigh lightly.

Bai Zhongqi actually enjoyed sparring with her playfully, saying, "What, did I say something wrong?"

Han Jiaxue couldn't help but smile, "No, no, you're right."

Despite Bai Zhongqi's ordinary looks, he was being so intimate with the most beautiful girl at the table, which made Yang Yixian's friends uncomfortable. No one dared to compete with Yang Yixian for a girl, but they couldn't tolerate a little commoner like Bai Zhongqi acting out of turn in front of them.

A guy with a row of earrings and hair dyed granny gray said, "Is this what they call having the ambition of the central leadership but the life of gutter oil?"

The people at the table roared with laughter, looking at Bai Zhongqi with contempt. Zhao Wenling also laughed along, seemingly very satisfied to have such a group supporting her.

Han Jiaxue was very displeased and wanted to scold that person, but Bai Zhongqi felt that chatting with these guys was very beneficial to his mind and body. He reached out to stop Han Jiaxue, preventing her from blowing up.

The atmosphere at the meal, albeit discordant, didn't stop Bai Zhongqi from enjoying the delicacies. Even though he always thought that a Michelin three-star rating was just a gimmick, the food that was served was indeed delightful, certainly better than what the bionic human chefs cooked in Ruyi City.

After all, even if bionic humans could mimic to perfection, they would always lack the genuine human touch when it came to cooking and creativity.

Bai Zhongqi cut a piece of foie gras and passed it to Han Jiaxue, giggling, "For you, it's delicious."

Han Jiaxue opened her mouth and ate the piece of foie gras, her eyes squinting into crescent moons, causing Bai Zhongqi's heart to flutter.

Their actions only made Yang Yixian feel increasingly unable to maintain his composure. He took the initiative to invite, saying to Han Jiaxue, "Jiaxue, are you on vacation? We're planning a trip to the Maldives. I've booked an entire island and it's also my birthday, so why don't you join us for the fun? Don't worry about the expenses."

Zhao Wenling also chimed in from the side, "Come on, Jiajia, if you go, I can muster up the courage to go too. Young Master Yang has a yacht that he ordered specially from Italy, costing thirty million US dollars. Aren't you particularly fond of surfing? Young Master Yang is also an expert surfer, so you two can exchange tips."

Yang Yixian put on a sincere expression, with his companions boasting on his behalf. This strategy had worked wonders in the past; some girls with soft spots were swayed by the crowd's praises for Yang Yixian and often approached him accordingly. Later, Yang Yixian would reward those who helped him succeed.

But Han Jiaxue was not like those girls. She was the kind of girl who wouldn't disclose her boyfriend's secrets under the toughest CIA interrogation, let alone be swayed by such small tricks.

Playing the mischief-maker, Bai Zhongqi deliberately belittled himself as he too spoke to Han Jiaxue, "Kathy, I recently booked a boat too. Although it didn't cost much, it can run quite fast. It may not be able to fish or surf like Young Master Yang's yacht, but at least we can watch the stars."

Han Jiaxue knew exactly what boat Bai Zhongqi was talking about, but Zhao Wenling didn't, and she taunted eagerly, "Even those paddle boats in the park can be used to stargaze. If you don't have the means, don't show off. You might not be ashamed, but our Jiajia would be embarrassed for you."

Finally, Han Jiaxue couldn't stand Zhao Wenling's behavior any longer. She said coldly, "The real embarrassment is you. No matter what, he's my boyfriend. He didn't provoke or offend any of you. You're being too much, and it just makes others look down on you!"

Bai Zhongqi watched her with a warm smile, protective as if she were guarding her own cub. No matter how strong or weak he was, seeing Han Jiaxue care so much about him felt absolutely wonderful.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Just then, Yang Yixian's phone rang.
