Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 357 Great value for money

After packing up the luggage in the hotel and Xiaoxue's things, with the help of Leng Feng and Erpang, we loaded them into the car, checked out, and returned to the CITIC Seaview Community in Lujiazui.

Now he has a luxurious flat with a river view and a beautiful woman, Gao Dongxu can be said to have settled down in Shanghai.

From now on, Beijing is Beijing and Shanghai is Shanghai. He will run between the two places and will never bring women from the two places together.

It's not just that there are too many people and he is unable to arrange them all, but more importantly, he wants to add more fun of exchanges between the north and the south to his life.

Back at COFCO Seaview, Gao Dongxu, Leng Feng and the others carried the luggage upstairs. Xiaoxue and Gu Shengnan had not returned yet.

Gao Dongxu sat on the open viewing balcony, enjoying the cool breeze and the vast river view of the Magic City.

At six o'clock in the evening, Xiaoxue and Gu Shengnan returned after finishing their crazy shopping spree.

The two bought so many things that Leng Feng and his companions had to use the elevator three times to get everything back home.

Pots and pans, bed sheets, quilts and pillows, all daily necessities, kitchen utensils, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, all kinds of fresh ingredients, chicken, duck, fish, meat, seafood and vegetables... The whole living room and aisle were filled with them.

Fortunately, there were many people, and under the guidance of Xiaoxue and Gu Shengnan, the purchased items were quickly put back in place.

Xiaoxue was also very thoughtful and bought bed sheets, pillowcases, quilts, pillows and daily necessities for Leng Feng and the other three.

Amid the thanks from Leng Feng, Er Pang and Fugui, Xiao Xue gradually lost herself in her identity as the hostess.

When Xiaoxue pulled Gao Dongxu back to the master bedroom to make the bed and tidy up their love nest, Gu Shengnan officially started to work and prepare dinner.

In the open kitchen, the bright lights make all the kitchen utensils sparkle, reflecting a bright and warm scene.

Gu Shengnan had already changed into a spotless white chef's uniform, donning a dark blue floral apron and a dark blue floral headscarf, neatly wrapping her hair. She looked capable and elegant. Her expression was confident and focused, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of unconcealable joy.

She stood at the chopping board, her eyes fixed on the FINDKING Gold Damascus chef's knife in her hand. The blade shone with a cool metallic luster, and the delicate patterns on it were as stunning as a work of art.

This was the kitchen knife she had always dreamed of. The moment she held it in her hand, she felt an unparalleled sense of fit. Her fingertips gently stroked the blade, and a satisfied smile flashed in her eyes.

"I can finally use it." Gu Shengnan whispered to herself, with an excitement that was hard to conceal in her tone. She had no idea how many times she had imagined holding this kitchen knife in her hands. Unfortunately, with her financial situation, she could only fantasize about it.

But today, my wish finally came true. It really is great to have money!

She picked up a piece of fresh bluefin tuna, the flesh bright in color and distinct in texture. With a flick of her wrist, the blade of the knife scraped across the flesh, making a subtle and pleasant "rustling" sound.

As the knife rose and fell, the fish was sliced ​​into slices as thin as a cicada's wing, each piece even and almost perfect. Her movements were smooth and flowing, as if she was playing an elegant piece of music.

Then she turned to the truffles and foie gras on the side, and with a light flick of the blade, the aroma of truffles instantly spread.

Her eyes are focused and gentle, as if she is in dialogue with these top-quality ingredients. Her knife skills are skillful and precise, and each cut is just right, preserving the original flavor of the ingredients while giving them a new form.

The wok was heated with oil, and the flames danced on the bottom, making a slight sizzling sound. Gu Shengnan placed the chopped ingredients into the wok one by one, her movements light and smooth. With a flick of her wrist, the ingredients flew into the air, then landed steadily back in the wok. The flames reflected on her face, her expression still focused, but the smile at the corner of her mouth became more and more obvious.

"This is the joy of cooking." She said softly, her tone full of enjoyment.

Her movements were impeccable, each step precise and efficient. Frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, boiling, every cooking method became a breeze in her hands.

Her culinary skills are not only reflected in her precise control of heat, but also in her deep understanding of ingredients. She seems to be able to sense the "character" of each ingredient and use the most appropriate method to stimulate their deliciousness to the extreme.

The extremely powerful range hood draws away all the fumes, leaving the kitchen filled with a variety of aromas: the richness of truffles, the mellowness of foie gras, and the deliciousness of tuna, all intertwined together, making one's mouth water.

Gu Shengnan stood in front of the center island, looking happy and satisfied. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead, but she paid no heed to the experience, instead becoming even more absorbed in the cooking process.

"Ding--"

The oven timer has expired.

"Okay." She said softly, put on huge thick cotton gloves, opened the oven, and took out the steak wrapped in tin foil and neatly placed on the baking tray.

She unwrapped the foil and plated the last steak. The dish, vibrant in color and beautifully presented, looked like a work of art. She stepped back, admiring her handiwork, her eyes filled with pride and joy. In this moment, she wasn't just a chef; she was an artist. With her knife and ingredients, she created something truly breathtaking.

"This is real cooking," she whispered, with endless satisfaction in her tone.

Gu Shengnan's joy comes not just from the result of cooking, but from the entire process. She savors every moment the knife slices through the ingredients, every moment the flames lick the bottom of the pot, and every moment the aroma fills the air. For her, cooking is not just a skill, but a passion, a pursuit of the ultimate in life.

She took off her headscarf and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, her face still wearing that confident and satisfied smile. At this moment, she seemed to merge with the kitchen, becoming the most dazzling presence here.

On the dining table, a dazzling array of dishes exuded an enticing aroma. A fusion of Chinese and Western cuisine filled the table, each dish as exquisite as a work of art. Gao Dongxu, Xiaoxue, Leng Feng, Erpang, and Fugui sat around the table, their eyes lighting up and swallowing hard.

"It seems that making you my personal chef is a very correct decision!" Gao Dongxu said with a smile as he looked at Gu Shengnan, who was sitting next to Xiaoxue with sweat on her pretty face.

"Boss, if it's a normal employment, you can't hire a chef with superb skills like me for 8,000 yuan a month." Gu Shengnan complained a little depressed.

"I know that your job is inherently punitive. After all, you were the one who made the mistake first. You have to admit your mistake and stand at attention when you are beaten—" Gao Dongxu teased with a smirk.

"Pfft-"

"Hehe..." Xiaoxue was amused by Gao Dongxu's words and Gu Shengnan's angry face. She picked up the chopsticks, her beautiful eyes flashing, and couldn't help but start eating. "Okay, it smells so good, I can try it first..."

The table was filled with laughter and joy as everyone devoured the food and praised Gu Shengnan's cooking skills. Every dish was cleared out, not even the soup was left. Seeing everyone enjoying their meal, Gu Shengnan felt particularly satisfied, her face filled with a proud smile.

This meal not only greatly satisfied everyone's taste buds, but also earned Gu Shengnan the highest recognition for her cooking skills. Her lips kept turning up.

"What's wrong with you? You looked a little dull during dinner."

After the meal, Erpang, who was responsible for clearing the table and washing the dishes, frowned slightly and gently bumped his shoulder against Fugui, who was washing the dishes next to him, and asked in a low voice.

"I've been thinking about Fu Sheng for three days..." Fugui said a little worriedly.

"What do I think it's a big deal? Didn't Fusheng go to do something for the boss? Don't worry, no news is the best news. Fusheng is so smart, there will be no problem." Erpang said with a smile.

"I hope so—" Fugui said with some concern.

"How about you go ask the boss?" Erpang suggested.

"No need. I'm worried, but the boss assigning him a task alone is both a trust and a test." Fugui shook his head and said.

Erpang looked at Fugui and said with heartfelt emotion: "Having a big brother like you, Fusheng is really enviable."

"We are also brothers--" Fugui looked at Erpang and said seriously.

Erpang was slightly stunned, his eyes lit up, and he smiled happily: "Yes, we are brothers too——"

At the same time, on the roadside of a hotel, in the cab of a black Chevrolet SUV, Wang Fusheng was eating and drinking with a McDonald's hamburger in one hand and a Coke in the other, while his eyes were fixed on the main entrance of the hotel.

After Wang Fusheng received the task of investigating Pi Saner from Gao Dongxu, with his many years of experience in the gray area and the help of money, he did not spend too much time to investigate Pi Saner's information clearly, and found out that he was a drug addict and was doing the dirty work of laundering money in an underground bank.

After that, Wang Fusheng began to follow Pi Saner. It must be said that following is really boring, especially for a venomous insect like Pi Saner who hardly does any serious work.

Although he was tired of Pi San'er's routine, he knew the importance of the mission and had to grit his teeth and persevere. Every day he squatted near the hotel where Pi San'er stayed, observing his movements.

Pi San'er lived an extremely decadent life, rarely leaving the house during the day, only lazily going out in the evening to head straight for nightclubs or underground casinos. Wang Fusheng had no choice but to follow him in and out of these places, carefully keeping his distance to avoid being discovered.

After three days, Wang Fusheng discovered that Pi Saner's activities were mainly concentrated in several fixed entertainment venues, and he was always surrounded by a group of bad friends, and occasionally some seemingly unidentified people would contact him.

These people were acting in a mysterious way, clearly not just ordinary thugs. Wang Fusheng realized that Pi San'er wasn't just a drug addict, but was likely involved in a more complex criminal network.

Wang Fusheng realized that this mission was far more complicated than Gao Dongxu had initially described. There might be a huge criminal network hidden behind Pi Saner, and he was just a small role in it.

The task Gao Dongxu gave him was not just to investigate Pi Saner, but to track Pi Saner and obtain useful intelligence, even intelligence about the criminal network behind him.
