After being universally criticized online, he cultivates immortality and farms to lead his motherlan

Chapter 67 was quite a mouthful.
The next day, night was falling.

Jian Ning was dressed in a gray casual outfit, with a black baseball cap on her head, and her hair was casually tied into a low ponytail with a black hair tie.

A few unruly strands of hair hung down in front of her forehead, but she ignored them because her hat covered them.

She took a taxi to Huiyunxuan.

Huiyunxuan is a place where many wealthy and powerful people in Beicheng come to eat.

Jian Ning mentioned Xiao Heqi's name, and the waiter led her over.

Huiyunxuan is a quiet and elegant place. You can walk through an artificial lake and follow a winding stone path.

Upon entering the separate room, the wooden doors and windows, with their intricate and exquisite openwork carvings, revealed a wealth of details.

The waitresses were all young and beautiful women in cheongsams.

With such an environment and service, it's easy to imagine how expensive the food must be.

When she arrived, Xiao Heqi was already waiting for her.

Jian Ning, ever the friendly type, raised her hand in greeting and sat down. "Brother He, long time no see."

Xiao Heqi naturally looked up and glanced at her.

She was wearing no makeup, casual clothes, and a black baseball cap.

He took a sip of tea and said softly, "I know you're here to eat, but if I didn't know better, I'd think you were here to go hiking and exercise."

Jian Ning discovered that the persona she had given him upon their first meeting was absolutely flawless.

As always, he has a sharp tongue.

She said frankly, "I really like wearing this outfit for hiking. Do you like it, Brother He? How about we go hiking together next time?"

Xiao Heqi's deep gaze lingered on her for a few seconds.

It seems she's trying to seduce both him and his brother at the same time; she's got quite the ambition.

"I'm not interested in mountain climbing." Xiao Heqi said in a nonchalant tone, with a businesslike attitude: "Before discussing the sale of the villa, what would you like to eat?"

The waiter proactively handed the menu to Jian Ning and then stepped back a few paces to wait.

If the guests do not actively request any recommendations, the waiters should stand quietly to the side and wait for the guests to place their orders.

Jian Ning opened the menu to look at it.

Even those who had eaten here before couldn't help but be astonished by the prices.

A serving of beef costs 1,800 yuan, a vegetable salad costs 580 yuan, a casserole of pork belly costs 990 yuan, and braised sea cucumber with scallions costs 1,200 yuan...

Anyway, nothing is cheap.

Even corn juice costs 360 yuan a cup.

Jian Ning's hands didn't stop flipping through the menu; the dish was one she hadn't ordered yet.

Xiao Heqi could tell that she thought the food was expensive, so he said casually, "Order whatever you want. Yichen Technology can afford this amount of money."

"Is it really okay?" Jian Ning looked at him uncertainly.

Xiao He nodded.

Jian Ning smiled and immediately closed the notebook, handing it to the waiter without any politeness, saying, "Then, one of each of the popular dishes marked, please. Thank you."

Waiter: "Okay, ma'am or sir, please wait a moment."

The door to the private room closed, leaving only Xiao Heqi and Jian Ning inside.

Jian Ning hadn't forgotten that she had come for a mission.

But as soon as she thought of the word 'extinction' mentioned in the mission, she felt awkward and asked in an unnatural tone, "Brother He, how have you been these past few years?"

The question was asked out of the blue, and the situation was quite awkward.

Xiao He stood up and leaned back slightly in his chair, saying coldly, "Still alive."

Jian Ning took a sip of tea to calm herself down.

Even realizing how awkward it would be, she still faced the challenge head-on, pretending to be a gossipy young girl: "Hey, Brother He, do you have a girlfriend yet?"

A chill began to creep into Xiao Heqi's heart.

His eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm, mocking the woman opposite him for finally revealing her true colors, asking him so quickly if he had a girlfriend.

Unfortunately, Xiao Li knew her way; he wouldn't become a fish in her pond.

He said coldly, "Is my private life something Miss Jane is so concerned about?"

"Hey, I was just asking."

Jian Ning was still forcing a smile, but in her heart she was cursing the lousy system for giving her such a terrible task.

This person is completely unresponsive and won't answer any questions. This is not a connection that Jian Ning could possibly build!
Jian Ning clenched her fists, trying to comfort herself. Oh well, the mission isn't progressing yet, at least she got a good meal; it's not a complete loss.

A long silence fell between the two of them.

As soon as the dishes were served, Jian Ning devoured them.

Although the vegetables I grow myself taste great, both garden flowers and wildflowers smell wonderful.

The frustration of not being able to complete the task transformed into appetite at that moment.

Xiao Heqi brought up the matter of Huayue Villa, "I wonder what price Miss Jian is willing to pay for the villa?"

Jian Ning stuffed a mouthful of meat into her mouth, then fed herself a mouthful of fragrant white rice. After chewing it down, she slowly replied, "Talking about money is rather vulgar."

Then, without the slightest hesitation, I continued eating.

Xiao Heqi's eyes darkened.

Is Jian Ning implying that she doesn't want money, but wants him as a person?

This woman really dares to think!
Xiao Heqi has devoted himself to his work all these years, and women will only hinder the speed at which he expands his business empire.

Moreover, this woman in front of him not only seduced his brother, but now she's trying to seduce him.

They wanted to manipulate the two brothers.

He doesn't fancy women with such scheming minds.

"No matter how much you want, as long as it's within a reasonable range, Yichen Technology has the capability. Besides, Huayue Villa won't generate much value in your hands. Yichen will develop it into a wealthy district, a place that everyone in Beicheng will aspire to in the future."

Jian Ning took a bite of the stir-fried sea cucumber with scallions, and her eyes narrowed with joy, a sense of satisfied happiness almost overflowing from her lips.

"Ah, this is so delicious. Brother He, stop talking about the resort, aren't you hungry? Eat up."

She resigned herself to her fate, thinking that since the task was difficult to complete anyway, she might as well just be a freeloader for now.

During the meal, both of them had their own thoughts on their minds.

He wouldn't cooperate with her, and she wouldn't cooperate with him.

In the end, nothing was agreed upon.

Xiao Heqi barely touched any of the dishes on the table. There was so much food that Jian Ning packed it all up to take home for a late-night snack.

As they left the private room, the two walked along a winding path and ran into Xiao Li.

Xiao Li's eyes lit up instantly when he saw Jian Ning, and he exclaimed with delight, "Ningning!"

Jian Ning saw him too, of course.

Xiao Heqi, standing to the side, watched Jian Ning with a leisurely air.

He was quite curious about how flustered this woman would be now that Xiao Li had witnessed her trying to have her cake and eat it too.

But then, Jian Ning smiled and greeted Xiao Li warmly.

"Xiao Li, what a coincidence, you're eating here too."

This was a reaction that Xiao Heqi had not anticipated.

"Yeah, brother, you're here too." Xiao Li's eyes shifted from Jian Ning to Xiao Heqi, scanning back and forth between the two with a strange expression: "You two came to eat together?"

That look didn't make Jian Ning uncomfortable.

This made Xiao Heqi somewhat uncomfortable; he could tell from his brother's eyes that the sky had fallen.

—I just told you last night that I like her, and you swore you weren't interested, but then you two went out to dinner behind my back!
However, Xiao Heqi did not believe he needed to explain.

Jian Ning casually took over the conversation, replying, "Yeah, I'm just talking to your brother about something. The food here is pretty good."

Xiao Li immediately invited, "Ningning, I'll treat you to a meal next time."

"No need," Jian Ning waved her hand in refusal. "I can't accept something for nothing. The food here is too expensive, and you don't earn money easily."

Xiao Li lowered his eyes slightly, looked at Jian Ning, and couldn't help but smile.

This was the first time someone had told him that making money wasn't easy, and it warmed my heart.

Xiao Heqi, standing to the side, opened his eyes slightly, looking at Jian Ning's words with disbelief.

He vividly remembered that not long ago, when she ordered, she didn't care at all about the money he had earned, and directly asked for half a notebook.

Although it's only half a book, it's not even a drop in the ocean compared to Xiao Heqi's wealth.

But this woman's double standards...

It's quite a mouthful.

However, at that moment, neither of the other two paid any attention to his reaction.
