> Dating in the Kitchen Recap
The young man selling vegetables saw it was Gu Shengnan, who often buys vegetables, so this bag of vegetables definitely couldn't be sold at the original price, based on the experience taught by the elder sisters at neighboring stalls.
The young man was bold and knowledgeable, directly saying these duck eggs were of good quality, high value, and authentic Gaoyou duck eggs, and would sell them to Gu Shengnan at cost price, implying he would rip off anyone but Gu Shengnan. Gu Shengnan didn't fall for this at all, casually moved a stool and sat down in front of the vegetable stall, took out a small black box, and started scanning the young man with it.
The young man said he was a seller with a conscience, the little box beeped, it turned out to be a simple lie detector, Gu Shengnan pulled out such a thing from who knows where.
Gu Shennan asked the cost price, the young man replied four yuan eight, the lie detector beeped, losing face the young man quoted a lower price, the lie detector still beeped, Gu Shengnan sized up the young man with a playful look, now he really couldn't keep his face. Gu Shengnan pressed further, the lie detector kept beeping, the young man gave up, admitting the duck eggs were actually of average quality and not authentic Gaoyou goods.
Gu Shengnan ultimately defeated the opponent's psychological defense and secured six salted duck eggs at the lowest price of three yuan five. Lu Jin watched the amusing but insignificant haggling over the price from the side, seeing Gu Shengnan scan and pay with a triumphant air and leave, quietly doing cleanup.
Throughout the whole market, Gu Shengnan walked ahead with her lie detector and scanning, whatever difference Gu Shengnan haggled down, Lu Jin followed behind and scanned again to make up the difference for the stall owners. The young man who sold the duck eggs thanked this 'uncle', and Lu Jin's expression curdled quite a bit upon hearing 'uncle'.
After buying vegetables and returning, night fell, the stairs lights in "Chengde Li" brightened upon sensing sound, illuminating generously with ten light bulbs. Lu Jin and Gu Shengnan stood at the entrance, neither showing intention to go in, waiting for the lights to dim. Just as their lips were about to meet, Gu Shengnan's lie detector seemed to get excited too, its sudden beeping shattering the silence.
They tidied this and tidied that, whiling away the long period the lights were on. Just as the mood started to return, Grandpa Zhang coughed as he came up from around the corner, praising how well Lu Jin had fixed the lights. Their intimacy interrupted, the two had no choice but to say goodnight and go home separately. Gu Shengnan in 302 asked her little turtle, "Do you like me?"
, while Lu Jin in 303 said to the Gu family spoon he collected, "I like you." Over and over, she asked, and he answered. They couldn't hear yet could hear, happiness lingered on the night lit by the warm lights.
Chairwoman Zheng's lunch was about to start, Gu Shengnan carefully prepared dish after dish, finally at the last dish, Red Wine Braised Truffles, Gu Shengnan was about to personally introduce it to Chairwoman Zheng, but upon opening the dish cover, she saw a terrible dish. The ingredient was still truffle, but it hadn't been processed, placed together with a pile of rotten vegetable leaves. For some unknown reason, the dish had been swapped, Gu Shengnan quickly denied it.
Lu Jin at the dining table wholeheartedly defended her, instructing Manager Shen to remove it, but Li Man turned the dish around and carefully explained it to Chairwoman Zheng. The symbolism of this dish was also extremely bad, subtly implying Gu Shengnan was dissatisfied with the hotel acquisition and expressing her anger through this. Chairwoman Zheng didn't particularly like her to begin with, and now she was unable to defend herself.
All the chefs in the back kitchen discussed what had just happened together, Master Yu's words directly pointed at Gu Shengnan, saying she must have had a grudge with Lu Jin back then, then Lu Jin came to the back kitchen to find Gu Shengnan. Lu Jin comforted Gu Shengnan, telling her to go home and rest, called for Gu Shengnan's little follower Da Laba, asked a couple of questions, and then found Master Yu.
He pressed him hard, one leading to another trick, questions coming thick and fast, leaving no room to breathe, finally the exasperated Master Yu shouted out his confession that he had swapped Gu Shengnan's dish. But in the end, everything was just Lu Jin's fabrication, what was truly real and effective were the words Cheng Ziqian had just recorded nearby, where Master Yu clearly confessed his crime. The art of war is based on deception, and this was exactly it.
Master Yu was leaving. Having found out the truth, Lu Jin came to find Gu Shengnan to deliver the good news, just bumping into her as she came downstairs. It turned out Xu Zhaodi and her maternal uncle had gone to Matsubashi One to protest loudly for her. This kind of behavior was not polite at all, nor was it beneficial to Chairwoman Zheng's already poor impression of her.
The good news had to be put aside, to be told another day. At Gao Quanan's custom studio, Meng Xinjie came to fulfill the deal they had agreed on last time. Her maternal uncle would help Meng Xinjie pursue Xu Zhaodi, and Meng Xinjie would provide the orders for their company's clothing needs. It was a win-win, each getting what they needed.
Before he finished speaking, Meng Xinjie suddenly got excited, asking about the handsome guys around Xu Zhaodi, especially the foreigner who came out of the mall that day. At a bar and nightclub on the other side, Xu Zhaodi called for help, asking her maternal uncle to pick her up. She and the German hadn't reached the point of going home together, and at a crucial moment, her maternal uncle, this close confidant, was reliable. Coming out of the bar entrance, her maternal uncle, in a suit and sunglasses, with a Northeastern accent, pulled up in a sports car in front of her.
