In the evening, Xiang Nan came to Maxim Restaurant for dinner again.
He ordered a salad, a lamb chop, and a borscht soup, and ate slowly while waiting for Xu Ruoyun's arrival.
He has been to this restaurant seven times, but he has never met her. But Xiang Nan didn't intend to give up, he wanted to continue waiting.
It’s never too late for a good meal, and it’s never too late for a good relationship. A high-quality woman like Xu Ruoyun deserves his wait.
Hard work pays off.
Just when Xiang Nan finished paying the bill and was about to leave, a person walked in at the door.
Xiang Nan calmed down when he saw her, then went up to greet her and said hello with a smile, "Miss Xu, long time no see."
"Mr. Cao~Long time no see." Xu Ruoyun was stunned when she saw Xiang Nan, and then smiled and said, "Are you coming here to eat too?"
"Yes, I heard that the steak in this restaurant is good. Let me try it." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Are you alone? Do you want to sit with us?"
"Okay." Xu Ruoyun was stunned, then nodded with a smile.
…
Xiang Nan immediately sat down with Xu Ruoyun.
"Ms. Xu, do you often come to this restaurant to eat?" He asked with a smile, "Do you have any recommendations?"
"The boned steak in this store is pretty good, you can try it." Xu Ruoyun said with a smile.
"Okay, it's up to you." Xiang Nan nodded, and then ordered a boneless steak.
Xu Ruoyun also ordered boneless steak, and also ordered a bottle of red wine to accompany the meal.
After a while, the food and wine were served, Xu Ruoyun said with a smile, "Mr. Cao, try it and see how it tastes?"
"Well, this steak tastes pretty good." Xiang Nan took a bite, nodded with a smile, "The meat is tender and has a rich aroma. I think it was fried in butter, so it has a more meaty aroma than ordinary steaks. .
Unfortunately, there is a missing step, so the steak has a faint smell of mutton and is not perfect. "
"It sounds like Mr. Cao is very knowledgeable about eating." Xu Ruoyun was stunned and asked in surprise.
"It's okay, I've done a little research." Xiang Nan nodded and said modestly.
In fact, when it comes to cooking skills, he can be considered a top celebrity chef. Not to mention the cooking skills passed down to him by Xu Wenchang, Ji Xiaolan's Sikuquanshu alone recorded a large number of famous delicacies, including many imperial cuisine recipes.
It can be said that Xiang Nan is the only person in the world who can cook all the royal meals and Manchu and Han banquets. The other so-called successors of the imperial chef are more or less defective.
"If Miss Xu is interested, I will cook it for you if you have a chance." Xiang Nan smiled again.
"Okay." Xu Ruoyun smiled and nodded.
…
"Mr. Cao, I listened to your new song. It's really good, with good lyrics and good singing." Xu Ruoyun smiled again.
"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded, "This time I really felt something, so I sang more emotionally."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to." Xu Ruoyun said quickly.
She knew about Xiang Nan's breakup and didn't want to bear his scars.
"It doesn't matter, I'm relieved." Xiang Nan smiled bitterly.
"Mr. Cao, do you hate her?" Xu Ruoyun asked.
"I don't hate it." Xiang Nan shook his head resolutely, "Actually, I still want to thank her. Because she really taught me a lot, but it's a pity that I understood it too late."
"There are very few men who think like you." Xu Ruoyun smiled slightly and said, "Most men who fall in love put the blame on women."
"It does exist." Xiang Nan nodded. "After all, it is very difficult to accept your own failure. On the contrary, it is much easier to blame others."
"That's true." Xu Ruoyun agreed.
After a while, the two of them finished their meal, and Xiang Nan took the initiative to pay the bill.
"Give me a chance to be a gentleman." He said to Xu Ruoyun with a smile.
"Okay." Xu Ruoyun nodded, "Then give me a chance next time and let me invite you back."
"Okay." Xiang Nan smiled, "Can you give me your contact information?"
"Yeah." Xu Ruoyun smiled and then reported his phone number.
"Okay." Xiang Nan wrote down the number, "See you then~"
"Okay." Xu Ruoyun nodded and smiled.
…
After returning home, Xiang Nan bought the best Angus steak and marinated it.
"Albert, I'm going to treat you at your house tomorrow night." He said to Huang Weiye, "When the time comes, remember to disappear automatically. Don't come back before ten o'clock."
"What do you mean, there is a new goal?" Upon hearing this, Huang Weiye asked in surprise, "Who is it? Do I know him?"
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Yes, we are, but the relationship has not been confirmed yet, and we haven't even decided on our horoscopes yet. I will formally introduce him to you after the relationship is clear."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Huang Weiye nodded and said, "Xiaoqiang, I feel relieved when I see you like this."
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded, "Thank you, Weiye."
…
The next afternoon, Xiang Nan called Xu Ruoyun, "Ms. Xu, this is Cao Xiaoqiang~"
"Mr. Cao~" Xu Ruoyun was very happy when she received Xiang Nan's call. You could tell it from her voice, "Why are you calling me? Are you looking for me if you need anything?"
"Yes, I want to invite you to try my cooking skills. I wonder if you are willing to reward me?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Xu Ruoyun readily agreed, "Where can I eat?"
Xiang Nan immediately told her the location of the studio.
"Okay, I've written it all down. See you in the evening." Xu Ruoyun nodded.
Xiang Nan then hung up the phone, feeling particularly comfortable.
Dealing with Xu Ruoyun is easy. This woman has a high emotional intelligence and is very good at taking care of other people's emotions.
In comparison, many scumbag girls only care about themselves and do not consider the feelings of others at all. Spending time with a woman like that is like years, and it's miserable. Even a simple chat is more tiring than long-distance running.
…
At seven o'clock in the evening, Xu Ruoyun came to Huang Weiye's studio.
Xiang Nan went out to greet her personally and saw her getting off the Range Rover.
"The car is nice." He said with a smile.
"You also have a car like this~" Xu Ruoyun said with a smile when she saw the car parked in the courtyard.
"This is what heroes think alike." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Come on, please come in~"
Xu Ruoyun stepped into the studio and looked at the decoration carefully while nodding, "It's a very good decoration style, with a Brooklyn industrial style."
"You have good taste." Xiang Nan nodded and praised, "This studio belongs to one of my buddies, the one who sang "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style" with me and was in charge of rapping.
He particularly likes American rock singer Bruce Springsteen, so the decoration style is extremely rough and industrial. "
"He has good taste." Xu Ruoyun smiled, "What about you, which singer do you like?"
"I don't have a favorite singer." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "If I had to choose one, I think Jay Chou is pretty good. I listen to his songs more."
Xu Ruoyun smiled and nodded, "There are many people who like him. Aren't you afraid of being called tacky?"
"To be honest." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "If you like it, you just like it. If you don't dare to face your own heart and insist on being new and unique and pursuing individuality, I feel that you will be inferior."
"It makes sense." Xu Ruoyun nodded.
