Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 661 Two Big Pots at a Time
Speaking of which, could it be that Li Guoqiang's million-dollar luxury car is rented?
Just as Song Jiaqi was beginning to doubt Li Guoqiang's wealthy identity, Gu Lingfei had already pulled Li Guoqiang into the skewers hot pot restaurant.

Left with no other choice, she had to follow them inside.

Soon, Gu Lingfei got a number, then came out again and sat in the waiting area, playing a duo game with Li Guoqiang.

Upon seeing this, Song Jiaqi immediately wondered if she had lost her mind, wondering why she had even thought of coming along to see what was going on.

As a result, aside from riding in a luxury car, all that was left was to be a third wheel and watch the other couples dine.

If this continues, she may lose her appetite by the time she actually starts eating.

"By the way, Qiang-ge, are you really not planning to buy a house?" While playing, Gu Lingfei glanced at Song Jiaqi, who seemed a little bored, and suddenly remembered something, so she hurriedly asked.

"What? Do you have any ideas?" Li Guoqiang raised an eyebrow and asked with some curiosity.

"Um, when I was looking for a place for you last night, I saw a really nice house. If you could buy it, it would be quite comfortable to live in," Gu Lingfei said softly, pursing her lips.

"Sure! Since your house is so nice, we'll go take a look after we finish eating." Li Guoqiang smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to buy is still in his hands.

Moreover, he will likely return to Shenzhen frequently in the future, and he will need a place to stay.

"Okay, I'll make time to arrange a viewing with the landlord when I have some free time." Gu Lingfei was delighted and quickly nodded.

After saying that, she glanced at Song Jiaqi, who was eavesdropping, and couldn't help but find it a little funny.

In fact, the reason she suggested that Li Guoqiang look at and buy a house was partly because she wanted to have a home in Shenzhen with Li Guoqiang so that he could come back to visit often.

On the other hand, it was because she wanted to show Song Jiaqi just how outstanding her old man was, far superior to Song Jiaqi's so-called "top male idols."

Soon, she took the time to call the landlord, then sent the house information to Li Guoqiang, and explained it to him in detail from the perspective of a professional real estate agent.

Throughout the conversation, Song Jiaqi listened attentively with her body turned to the side, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

According to Gu Lingfei's introduction, she knew that this house was a duplex apartment in the city center, with an average price of over 100,000 yuan per square meter, which was the kind of house she dreamed of owning.

However, unless a miracle happens, she probably will never have the chance to own a house like that in her lifetime.

Therefore, she was unusually concerned about whether Li Guoqiang had the ability to buy the house.

If Li Guoqiang could really buy it, and if she could poach him from Gu Lingfei, wouldn't she have the opportunity to move into that house?
"This is the house. The price is probably hard to negotiate. Even if we can get it down, it probably won't be much less than this price," Gu Lingfei said with some concern after introducing the house.

"It's fine, as long as the house is good enough and worth the price, that's fine." Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang immediately waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

After all, good things are always in high demand.

If it's really a big discount, then he really doesn't want it!
"Brother Qiang, this is nearly 5000 million! You really don't care at all?" Gu Lingfei glanced at Song Jiaqi, then deliberately asked with a shocked expression.

In fact, she already knew from Ruan Muning that Li Guoqiang had at least a few small goals.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have so easily believed that Li Guoqiang could bring her millions in commissions.

"It's okay, I'm rich!" Li Guoqiang was secretly pleased to see Gu Lingfei's pretentious manner, and then very cooperatively displayed the air of a nouveau riche.

"..." Upon seeing this, Song Jiaqi's lips twitched slightly, and then she suddenly burst into intense curiosity about Li Guoqiang's net worth.

After all, that's a whopping 5000 million!

It's not 5000 yuan, nor is it 50 yuan.

If it were her, even if she were willing to serve her older brother more, she probably wouldn't earn that much money even if she worked herself to death.

This also shows just how big the gap is between her and multi-millionaires like Li Guoqiang.

Gu Lingfei, you deserve to die!

Why are you so lucky to meet such an awesome old man?

Just as Song Jiaqi was beginning to have serious faith in Li Guoqiang's wealthy identity, the queuing machine suddenly called out their number.

Immediately, Gu Lingfei stood up abruptly, grabbed Li Guoqiang's hand, and walked excitedly towards the hot pot restaurant.

They looked no different from any other ordinary young couple.

Seeing Gu Lingfei's performance, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but feel somewhat satisfied.

Actually, what he liked most about Gu Lingfei was her innocent and romantic spirit, as well as her sincere attitude.

Even if it's just a transaction between them, Gu Lingfei will embellish it to make him experience a more real and wonderful experience.

Seeing Gu Lingfei like this, Song Jiaqi couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

In her opinion, this was undoubtedly because Gu Lingfei lacked experience, which was why she acted so unsophisticated.

This could easily make a big shot like Li Guoqiang feel embarrassed, thus lowering his opinion of him.

At that time, perhaps she won't even need to lift a finger; Gu Lingfei will already be ruthlessly abandoned.

Little did she know, she instinctively misunderstood something: Li Guoqiang was not one of her big brothers and didn't care about such formalities or face at all.

For Li Guoqiang, being able to live comfortably and pleasantly is the most important thing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have intended to entrust the investment company to Gu Lingfei for management, instead of handing it over to Ruan Muning, a knowledgeable and experienced financial assistant.

He knew that handing the company over to Gu Lingfei for management might cause him to lose some money.

However, if the company were handed over to Ruan Muning for management, the likely outcome would be bankruptcy.

Having spent several years working in bars, he never overestimates human nature, nor does he underestimate it.

Soon, led by a waiter at the hot pot restaurant, they arrived at a large table that had just been cleared.

Immediately after Gu Lingfei communicated with the hot pot restaurant, two hot pot platters were brought out.

Seeing this, Song Jiaqi was slightly taken aback, and then asked with some doubt, "Feifei, are you sure you're not mistaken? There are only three of us, why would we need two hot pot bases?"

"It's alright, you'll find out soon!" Gu Lingfei smiled slightly and waved her hand. Hearing this, Song Jiaqi was still a little confused, but seeing Gu Lingfei's confident expression, she didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, the waiters brought out plate after plate of food, filling the entire large table.

Seeing this, Song Jiaqi couldn't help but secretly observe Li Guoqiang's expression.

However, after watching for a while, she still couldn't see any unusual reaction from Li Guoqiang.

She didn't even know if she was seeing things or what, but she felt that Li Guoqiang seemed somewhat satisfied with Gu Lingfei's actions.
Soon after, the waiter finally finished serving all the dishes.

Gu Lingfei had already put some of the dishes into the hot pot and started cooking them in the broth the moment the waiter brought them over.

Furthermore, they cook two large pots at a time.

Seeing this, Song Jiaqi frowned slightly, becoming increasingly puzzled by Gu Lingfei's actions.

In her opinion, there were only three of them, and even if they ate quickly, there was no need to cook so much at once.

If we don't finish eating it all in a short time, all the ingredients will become overcooked.

"Hey, Jiaqi, don't just stand there! Make yourself whatever you want to eat." Gu Lingfei saw that Song Jiaqi was still sitting there without moving, so she quickly reminded her.

"No, didn't you already cook so much?" Upon hearing this, Song Jiaqi couldn't help but ask.

"Oh! I cooked all of these for Brother Qiang, he has a big appetite." Gu Lingfei smiled slightly and then explained softly.

"???" Song Jiaqi was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

She even wondered if there was something wrong with her ears.

No matter how she thought about it, she never expected the answer to be that Li Guoqiang had a large appetite.

Before she could react, Gu Lingfei was already busy scooping out the cooked ingredients and sorting them into bowls.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang didn't bother to be polite to Gu Lingfei, nor did he care about Song Jiaqi's opinion. He immediately picked up the bamboo skewers and started eating.

In no time, the bamboo skewer collection bucket in front of him was filled with bamboo skewers.

Song Jiaqi looked at the bamboo skewers, then at the ingredients in the pot that had dwindled to more than half, and was completely stunned.

She has eaten at these kinds of hot pot restaurants before.

Under normal circumstances, one only needs to eat about 100 to 200 skewers to feel full.

Looking at Li Guoqiang now, she has no doubt that he can eat several hundred skewers.

No wonder Gu Lingfei wanted such a big table and two hot pot pots before!
So this was all done to cater to Li Guoqiang, the big eater!
After realizing this, Song Jiaqi's gaze towards Gu Lingfei changed from initial disdain to a very serious one.

After a moment's hesitation, instead of cooking for herself, she helped Gu Lingfei sort the cooked ingredients and put them into the bowl in front of Li Guoqiang.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Li Guoqiang raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, then gave Song Jiaqi a somewhat amused look.

"Um, I'm not very hungry right now, you eat first, don't worry about me." Song Jiaqi couldn't help but explain awkwardly.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you!" Li Guoqiang nodded politely, then turned his attention back to the food.

It has to be said that the taste of this kind of skewers hot pot is really good, and many of the ingredients are both appetizing and not filling, making you feel like you can never get enough to eat.

Especially for someone with a big appetite like him, if he didn't have a thick wallet, he probably wouldn't dare to walk into this kind of hot pot restaurant.

Before long, most of the ingredients on the table had been eaten by Li Guoqiang.

Gu Lingfei glanced at the little food left on the table and asked softly, "Brother Qiang, would you like some more?"

"Well, I've almost finished eating. Go get two or three more plates! We can eat together slowly later." Li Guoqiang patted his flat, firm belly gently, then chuckled and gave the order.

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingfei stood up without saying a word and walked towards the self-service food area.

The surrounding customers, including Song Jiaqi, all showed expressions of surprise upon seeing this scene.

When Gu Lingfei returned with two large trays of ingredients, they were almost speechless with surprise.

After all, Gu Lingfei had already ordered enough for seven or eight people through group buying, and now she had ordered enough for three or four more people, which adds up to almost a dozen people.

Li Guoqiang, Song Jiaqi, and Gu Lingfei make up only three people.

Soon, some of them became interested and kept staring at Li Guoqiang's table, seemingly wanting to see if Li Guoqiang, Gu Lingfei, and Song Jiaqi could finish all the food.

As for the waiters, they were rather pleased with this.

After all, this isn't a buffet restaurant, so they're not worried about customers eating too much; they're worried about customers eating too little.

If more big eaters like Li Guoqiang could come every day, their end-of-month bonuses could at least double.

Soon enough, after having someone add more broth, Gu Lingfei cooked two more large pots of ingredients.

She gave half of it to Li Guoqiang, and shared the other half with Song Jiaqi.

However, even with two of them, they still couldn't defeat Li Guoqiang alone.

Until the food on the table was completely devoured again, a group of onlookers had gathered nearby, taking photos with their phones.

The focus of the filming was the large stack of bamboo skewers in front of Li Guoqiang.

"Brother Qiang, look, I told you you had the potential to be a mukbang streamer!" Gu Lingfei couldn't help but tease him with a smile.

“I think so too!” Li Guoqiang nodded, then said with a look of deep agreement.

He even magnanimously addressed the customers who were taking pictures, saying loudly, "Hey, you can take pictures all you want, but please make sure you get a good shot of me!"

These words immediately drew a burst of good-natured laughter.

Song Jiaqi glanced at Li Guoqiang, then at the customers surrounding her, and a hint of fervor flickered in her eyes.
