Ultimate Agent - C7
On the way into the restaurant, Fang Yao sized up the exquisite decorations and unique romantic designs, not forgetting to remind Ye Lan not to have any presumptuous thoughts.
“Mr. Fang, you’re too worried. Even if you’re the only man left in this world, I still won’t have any thoughts towards you. I like mature and steady men.” What Ye Lan was trying to say was that her taste wasn’t that strong yet.
On the way here, she couldn’t help but wonder if Fang Yao had any thoughts for her. After all, ever since she was young, she had always been the center of attention. There were countless suitors, and apart from her family, she had never eaten alone with any other men.
However, when Ye Lan saw the expression on the other party’s face, he completely gave up on this idea. This behavior was extremely abnormal, and it was likely that his personality was different from that of a normal man.
Under the enthusiastic guidance of the waiter, the two of them entered the dining room. The lighting inside was a little dim, and the surroundings were made up of warm virtual lanterns. They shone on the walls of the purple-colored wallpaper that was decorated with famous French paintings, giving off a warm and cozy feeling.
In the circular hall, tables and chairs were placed outside, up and down two levels. The table was quite far away from the table, and there was also a translucent frosted glass screen separating them.
In the middle of the room, there was a piano. An elegant man wearing a suit was playing the world-famous song “Blue Danube River”. The melodious melody from the piano made the atmosphere in the restaurant extremely relaxed and beautiful.
Even though there were only two tables full.
The waiter handed over two menus. Fang Yao opened them and saw that they were filled with French. Even the translations were in English and there was not a single Chinese character, let alone any pictures.
“One portion of foie gras, one portion of cold steak, and one portion of ice water. Thank you.” Ye Lan ordered the dishes in a practiced manner. When he announced the names of the dishes, he used pure English pronunciation.
Noble and elegant like her not only reflected in her appearance, but also the years of hard work and accumulation of knowledge, good home tutoring and outstanding experience were incomparable to ordinary people.
However, only Ye Lan himself was clear of the amount of effort Ye Lan had put in. If Ye Lan was born into a normal family, then her talent and temperament would definitely not be any worse than they currently were.
After Ye Lan finished ordering, he saw that Fang Yao was still staring at the menu. He smiled and asked, “Do you need any help?”
On the menu, there were a few words that even Ye Lan could not identify. As for Fang Yao, he was merely an ex-soldier, so his studies must have been inferior to that of an ordinary university student. Ye Lan did not underestimate him, simply because he did not want to hurt his pride.
“Don’t think you know me. You don’t know my taste.” Fang Yao decisively shook his head. He flipped through the menu and tapped it with his finger.
“This, this, this, um, that’s all. Two for each.” After saying that, he returned the menu to the waiter. Under the latter’s astonished gaze, Fang Yao smiled and said, “I’m very hungry. Please hurry up and serve the dishes.”
“Cough cough, that’s all. Go serve the dishes.” Ye Lan only felt a little awkward as he lightly coughed twice before letting the waiter leave.
This was definitely the first time Ye Lan had met someone who chose a different dish from every other dish. Was his appetite really that good?
He probably didn’t even know what food he had ordered. If he brought in six servings of soup in a while, who knew how the waiter would look at Fang Yao and her?
The price of a meal was equivalent to a month’s salary for an ordinary worker. Money was a small matter for Ye Lan, so putting aside the matter of face, she was somewhat anticipating the reaction of this thick-skinned fellow when he saw the dishes being served.
The wait took about twenty minutes.
During this period, Fang Yao chatted with Ye Lan from time to time, asking her a few questions about various topics. Sometimes, he would chat with her about Ye Lan’s studies abroad in the UK, and other times, it would relate to the lives of the people, the business world, and some things related to Far Flower International Group, such as business projects, how much profit they made, their prospects for development, and so on.
Ye Lan answered all these questions truthfully without holding back. In his heart, he felt that Fang Yao might have stayed in the army for too long. He was very curious about everything and had the drive of a young man.
However, during the entire process, behind Fang Yao’s indifferent expression, a pair of sharp eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ye Lan’s subtle expression.
“She’s not lying.” Fang Yao thought to himself.
As the top secret service in the Battle Dragon’s secret service, Fang Yao possessed unimaginable skills and mental fortitude.
His interrogation techniques could be said to be the nightmare of spies from all over the world. Many of the agents interrogated by Fang Yao could not help but lament, “He is a guy who can see through people’s hearts. There are no secrets that can be hidden from him.”
The reason he wanted to have a lunch together with Ye Lan was to find the breakthrough point of his brother Fang Ming’s death. The Ye Clan’s 31% share of Yuanhua International Group was the second largest shareholder apart from the He Clan.
However, the conversation made him feel that Ye Lan had nothing to do with this.
“Madam, sir, all the dishes that you need have been served, please enjoy your meal.” At this moment, the waiter placed all the dishes on the table in an orderly manner before respectfully leaving.
When Ye Lan looked at the dishes on the table with an expectant look, his expression suddenly froze.
This was because not only did the three dishes the other party had ordered not go wrong, they even seemed to be well-matched.
“Eh, fish soup, biscuit, beef, main dish, side dishes and soup are all available. This French dish is actually not that much different from the Northeast dishes. It’s big in quantity but it’s worth a lot.” Fang Yao clicked his tongue in praise.
Afterwards, he pushed one of the fish soup and bread to Ye Lan and said, “Eat these two. I’ll settle the rest.” With that said, Fang Yao held his saber in one hand and his pitchfork in the other. He sped up like a hungry wolf that had been starving for three days and three nights without a drop of water on his face.
Within a few minutes, he had finished eating the steaks.
Ye Lan was more concerned about the three dishes that he ordered than the other party’s savage way of eating.
If Fang Yao really did not know the English words on the menu, then his level of luck testing was simply perfect. This was because these three dishes were the most nutritious and were the perfect combination to follow the theory of meals.
Eviscerate steak is rich in calories, the muscle fiber inside can help men grow muscle, even a small amount of practical women, can also make the body more symmetrical, more elastic.
The fish soup was a famous delicacy in France – Marseilles fish soup. The fish soup contained collagen, which was of extremely high nutritional value. It was a cosmetic dish and had a moderate amount of heat. The most important thing was that the fish soup contained 13 kinds of local French spices, which were extremely delicious.
