However, Director Yang did not take it. Instead, he signaled the waiter to hand the menu to Producer Liu next to him.
"Hey, this time we're mainly here to welcome you, Producer Liu... take a look at the menu to see if there's anything you like."
"Director Yang, you are flattering me. The guest should follow the host's wishes. You should order some."
"Producer Liu is from Jinhai, so you should come."
When Director Yang saw that Producer Liu pushed the menu to him again, he immediately pushed it back. This back and forth not only confused the waiter, but also many of the other people sitting there seemed a little puzzled.
But I know... neither of these two old foxes wants to touch this hot potato at this time. Just kidding... the daughter of their immediate boss is at the table, who dares to order food without knowing the other party's taste!
If it were any normal time, they would just ask directly, but after what happened between Mo Yuhan and Xia Xiaoyao just now, anyone with a discerning eye would know that now was not the right time to bring bad luck, which meant that whoever ordered the food would be the one being taken advantage of.
However, it was no use pushing the ball back and forth between the two of them, so when the menu was pushed to Producer Liu again, he couldn't argue with Director Yang, so he simply gave the choice of dishes to Mo Yuhan who was sitting next to me, and said with a smile:
"Ahem, Miss Mo, how about... do you have anything you want to think of?"
After hearing what Producer Liu said, the waiter handed the menu in his hand to Mo Yuhan in a daze. Although this was a bad move, it was also a helpless solution because I found that Producer Liu came alone today and did not bring his subordinates.
In other words, no one was willing to take over this hot potato. If he gave it to someone else and they refused, it would be embarrassing. So instead of pushing it back and forth, it would be better to give the choice of ordering dishes directly to the oldest person present.
Logically speaking, this ridiculous thing should have ended here, and even the waiters around were prepared. However, what everyone present did not expect was that Mo Yuhan actually pushed away the menu handed over by the waiter!
Damn, is this girl going to do that?
But before I could come to my senses, I found that Mo Yuhan slowly pushed the menu in his hand to——
I? ? ?
"Teacher, please give me some."
After hearing what this girl said, I couldn't help but be stunned, but while I was stunned, the waiter next to me thought that someone finally wanted to order food, and before I could react, the menu was already in my hand.
Wait a minute! I didn't want to order food! Why did you give me this difficult task?
Several waiters around me came over to me, as if they thought I was the hidden big shot at the table. They stood up straight, which made me feel a little embarrassed.
But at this moment, if I want to push the menu out, I'm afraid no one will dare to take it? Because let alone the shocked people around, even producer Liu, who was sitting not far away, swallowed uneasily after seeing how close Mo Yuhan and I were.
Director Yang raised his eyebrows when he saw this. He was a little surprised but not too shocked. As an agent, Zhou Ling seemed to be thinking about something in her mind, as if she was re-evaluating me.
Oh... by the way, I almost forgot about Director Hu. After seeing how familiar Mo Yuhan and I were, a lot of sweat oozes out of his forehead. He kept drinking the tea poured by the waiter next to him. After seeing my gaze, he immediately looked away in fright.
Seeing this scene, I felt like laughing a little bit. I guess everyone present thought I was some big shot. Although I knew I was only relying on Mo Yuhan's help, once she left, my identity as a college student would be exposed.
Therefore, even though it feels great to be valued by others, I still need to be restrained so as not to get too carried away and end up in trouble.
Chapter 139: Pouring Wine
It’s said that I was the one who ordered the dishes, but in fact, I just ordered a few recommended dishes based on the waiter’s recommendation. Of course...it’s not that I don’t know how to order dishes, but I just can’t understand them. The complexity of the names of the dishes is as difficult to understand as their prices.
I could hardly find a few dishes with two-digit prices in the entire menu. Most of the dishes had three-digit or even four-digit prices. I even saw quite a few five-digit prices on the menu.
What makes me even more dumbfounded is that an ordinary dish of cold shredded potatoes can be sold for three figures. It makes me wonder if these shredded potatoes are made of gold or silver to be sold at such a high price.
Fortunately, I am not treating you for this meal, otherwise I wouldn't be able to pay so much money even if I sold myself. This cheapest dish can cover my entire day's extravagant spending.
I was a little restrained at first, after all, it was Director Yang who was paying. But after the waiter told me that there was a minimum consumption in the private room, I felt much more at ease. After all, I had a range in mind, so I wouldn't order too expensive and make Director Yang spend money, nor would I order too cheap and seem a little shabby.
But when I finished ordering, I suddenly remembered that I was so absorbed in the high prices of the dishes that I seemed to have forgotten to ask the people present if they had any dietary restrictions.
So although it was a bit silly to ask after ordering... I couldn't not ask, so even though I felt a little embarrassed, I still pretended to be calm and asked slowly:
"Ahem...Does anyone have any dietary restrictions?"
However, the situation at this moment was not what I had imagined. The person sitting at the table was stunned when he heard what I said, and then he kept looking at me and other people, as if no one dared to speak at this time.
???
Not really? I just asked if there were any dietary taboos. Did I say something wrong?
"Sir, your dishes include——"
The waiter holding the menu next to me, after hearing what I said, took a step forward and was about to tell me what dietary restrictions I had for the dishes I ordered, but before he could say a few words he was pulled back by a more experienced-looking waiter next to him.
I turned to look at the experienced waiter, and he bowed to me with a smile, as if he was apologizing on my behalf, which made me even more embarrassed.
What's going on now? Is anyone here? Please say something... Don't leave me here any longer.
Just when I was unable to figure out what was going on, I suddenly heard a few whispered conversations from the two waiters behind me.
"Brother Zhao, why did you pull me just now? I haven't finished talking yet."
"You silly boy, I'm helping you! If I let you finish your words, you'll offend people."
"what?"
"Can't you see that the people at this table are all big names in the industry? The man with the menu looks very young and is not sitting at the main seat. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is the leader of this dinner, and everyone is asking for his opinion."
"Brother Zhao, why didn't I understand?"
"Let me ask you... so many industry leaders are asking that person, do you think that person is an ordinary person? Would he not ask others about their dietary restrictions before ordering? Seeing that they are all here to discuss some big business, he is using this opportunity to show off his power to others, confirm his position, and take control of this dinner!"
"Oh, so that's it."
"Humph, you little brat, you still have to learn slowly!"
WTF? ? ?
Damn...I really didn't mean anything else!
I simply forgot to ask, I really don’t have any special ideas!
Fortunately, Xia Xiaoyao and I have been together for a while and knew that I didn't have any special intentions. When she saw that no one dared to be the first to speak out, she slowly said to me in silence:
"I'm not very picky about food, I don't have any taboos."
After hearing her voice, I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xia Xiaoyao with some gratitude. When she saw my gaze, she did not avoid it. Instead, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, like a child who was praised by his parents.
But at this moment, I suddenly felt a thorn in my back. I turned my head stiffly and looked at Mo Yuhan who was looking at me with a puffy face. She also said softly:
"I like to eat anything the teacher orders."
Although I was very touched that Mo Yuhan supported me at this time, it would have been better if she had looked at me when she said this... instead of Xia Xiaoyao who was sitting next to me.
At this moment, the two of them made eye contact and looked at each other. If you didn't know, you would think they were flirting with each other, but I could clearly hear the electric sound of their eyes colliding in the air, and even had the illusion of seeing the intense sparks bursting out from the intersection of lightning.
Feeling the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two and the strong smell of gunpowder between them, I, who was caught between them, felt extremely nervous and helpless for a moment.
After hearing Xia Xiaoyao and Mo Yuhan's responses, the others at the table also waved their hands and said that they didn't have any dietary restrictions. But from what they said, I always felt that...even if they did have any dietary restrictions, they wouldn't dare to speak up at this time.
The waiter standing next to me also looked at me with admiration, then walked out with the menu I ordered. Director Yang asked the waiter next to him to bring the good wine he was carrying, and I also saw the bottle of wine, it was clearly Wuliangye.
I have seen this version of Wuliangye when I was having dinner with distant relatives. I heard that it costs more than 8,000 yuan a bottle. At that time, that relative held the bottle and showed it off for a long time, so much so that I still remember it clearly.
Although I was a little surprised that Director Yang would bring such an expensive wine, but when I thought about the prices of the dishes I just ordered, it didn't seem so unacceptable.
In a dinner party, alcohol is always something that can quickly warm up the atmosphere and bring people closer together, so I was not surprised that Director Yang brought some wine.
But it can be seen that... with Mo Yuhan present, he was still very restrained and only brought two bottles of wine. After sharing it among each person, there was not much. At most, they were slightly tipsy, far from being drunk.
After all, if a group of people get drunk and scare Mo Yuhan, it would be difficult to deal with the situation.
Seeing this, the waiter took the bottle of Wuliangye and started pouring wine into each of our glasses. However, the pouring went smoothly at the beginning. But when the waiter walked to Xia Xiaoyao, he paused... and looked at me as if asking for my opinion.
That look was as if asking me...whether I want to pour wine for Xia Xiaoyao.
Chapter 140 God unfolds
After seeing the waiter's eyes, countless question marks suddenly appeared in my mind. Should I pour wine for Xia Xiaoyao to see what I am doing? Just when I was about to say something... I saw Xia Xiaoyao suddenly took the bottle of wine from the waiter.
"I'll do it myself."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but pour wine into the glass in front of her. Seeing her like this, I was stunned for a moment, but I still moved closer to her and whispered to her:
"You really want to drink?"
"Humph, don't underestimate me, I can still drink a lot."
Xia Xiaoyao puffed out her chest proudly while speaking this, and I smiled helplessly, because even if Xia Xiaoyao didn't say it, I knew she didn't want to make things difficult for me because I helped her get special treatment.
Perhaps this is the so-called tacit understanding, even without saying anything, you can know what the other person is thinking. For outsiders, it would be better to make it clear, but for Xia Xiaoyao and I, some things do not need too much explanation, because each other knows what the other has done.
After Xia Xiaoyao finished pouring the wine, the waiter took the bottle and poured me some wine. As for Mo Yuhan, he poured a glass of juice into her glass. After all, her father is Mo Fushan... Who dares to force her daughter to drink?
If there is anyone present who is qualified to pour wine for her, I am probably the only one. But if Mo Fushan knew that I poured wine for Mo Yuhan, wouldn't he come over with a 40-meter-long sword and chop me on the spot?
Of course, even if I remove this layer of meaning, I would never pour her wine. After all, I am her teacher after all. How can a teacher lead his students astray?
"Teacher, I...I can drink."
"No, you are still a student and you can't drink."
After hearing her words, I decisively and righteously refused, but when I got to this point, I suddenly realized that this statement seemed to apply to me as well. I kept saying that others were students and couldn't drink, but I myself had only left high school a few years earlier than her.
But she didn't pull out my braids. She just looked at me angrily, as if complaining that I treated her like a child. But she didn't say anything. After all, she still listened to me very much.
Well...at least that's how it was when I was in class.
However, this seemed like a very common scene to me, but it was extremely surprising to many people around me. Especially when they knew that I was the teacher of their immediate boss's daughter, the look of surprise in their eyes increased a lot.
After the dishes were served, the atmosphere became a little more lively. A few people who were good at livening up the atmosphere kept bringing up various topics, which prevented the atmosphere from becoming so cold.
But it can be seen that with Mo Yuhan and Xia Xiaoyao present, these old men dare not tell dirty jokes, and the topic is deliberately avoiding us.
But this also made me happy and relaxed, without having to deal with the topics they raised, and I could eat the luxurious dishes on the table from time to time. After all, it was the first time in my life that I had eaten such a luxurious meal, and of course...it was very likely the only time in my life.
Although I really want to ask Mo Yuhan why he appears here, this is obviously not the right time. However, despite this, I can guess that this should be the work of Mo Fushan.
After all, I don't believe that Mo Yuhan ran out secretly on her own and then came here by chance. There must be something fishy going on with Mo Fushan, but I just don't know what the meaning of his doing this is.
He threw his daughter into such an environment, and I was the only person she was familiar with. Wasn't he afraid that I would do something evil to Mo Yuhan?
Uh...Okay, I admit that even if I have this bold idea, I don't have the courage to implement it.
After all, there is a saying that goes, "Three years as the minimum sentence and the death penalty as the maximum sentence."
Even if it applies to a beautiful girl like Mo Yuhan, it can be changed to "Three years of huge profits, the death penalty is not a loss", but these are just empty talk by most people.
Just when I was immersed in my own world, I suddenly felt my arm being pushed. Then I realized it was Mo Yuhan who pushed me. I quickly put down my chopsticks and asked softly:
"what happened?"
I saw this girl holding her chopsticks, but her eyes were looking at a dish not far away. Seeing this, I wanted to turn the glass tray on the table and move the dish in front of her.
But my years of experience told me that things were definitely not that simple, so I coughed twice to ease my embarrassment, then understood what she meant and gave her a small piece of cake as compensation for the lecture I had just given her.
When she saw the small cake I put on the plate for her, her black eyes glowed slightly, but she seemed to feel that she should still remain angry, and quickly returned to her just now state. However, the anger she pretended could not hide the corners of her mouth that kept rising.
Seeing her like this, I suddenly felt that this girl was cute in a foul way. Under her icy appearance, she might just be a cute little girl.
But no matter what, after seeing her satisfied look, I breathed a sigh of relief. However, just as I took a breath, a sweet voice like a lark came from beside me.
"Lin Ran, try this, it tastes very good."
Xia Xiaoyao's voice seemed to have magic, inexplicably full of penetrating power. As she spoke, she carefully placed a piece of dessert on my plate. Some people around heard Xia Xiaoyao's voice and couldn't help but look over here with envy and surprise.
Of course this is not important. What is important is that after Mo Yuhan heard Xia Xiaoyao's voice, she seemed to have received some alarm signal, and after seeing the dessert on my plate, she pursed her lips.
"Teacher, this is for you."
As if she had thought of something, she put another small cake from her plate onto my plate, and as if declaring her sovereignty, she pushed the cake toward the center of my plate. Xia Xiaoyao did not back down either, and also pushed the dessert toward the center of my plate.
Seeing this, I immediately pressed my temples and found that my back was already sweating. Fortunately, at this time, Producer Liu seemed to be very good at reading the atmosphere. Seeing that the situation was not right, he quickly raised his cup and stood up and said to everyone:
"I, Liu, feel honored to have dinner with you all today."
"Producer Liu, you flatter me."
"Cheers, cheers."
The people around me could obviously understand the atmosphere. After seeing Producer Liu raise his glass, I also raised my glass. Mo Yuhan and Xia Xiaoyao also temporarily stopped arguing over my plate and stood up and raised their glasses.
The light shines through the crystal, as if I can see the colorful colors inside. I can't help but feel that this scene is like the waves in a wine glass, turbulent and dreamy...but perhaps everything will return to calm in the end.

Just as I stood up and raised my glass, a crisp sound covered the surrounding sounds, and the bright lights suddenly dimmed, replaced by darkness.
Um... this is——
