Chapter 013: Dining

获得主角能力的我只想过平凡生活 · 第013章 用餐

"Delicious." Barbara gave a very high evaluation. "I've never had such good coffee before. No wonder you, boss, want to open a coffee shop. With coffee like this, you're sure to make a lot of money."

Wang Bo: "...I wasn't asking about the taste of the coffee. I know the taste better than you do. I was asking how you feel now, whether you're still sleepy or not."

Barbara had made an awkward mistake, her face flushing with embarrassment. She quickly shook her head and said, “Not sleepy, not sleepy at all.”

"That's good." Wang Bo put down his coffee, took out the contract, and placed it on the table. "I've already signed it. From now on, the nightclub is mine. What you need to do is find a construction team as soon as possible to turn it into a high-class coffee shop. Remember, don't be afraid to spend money, but it must have style and class."

As he spoke, Wang Bo took out his checkbook again and wrote a check for one million.

"This is the initial decoration fee. If it's not enough, you can ask me for more!"

Barbara couldn't help clicking her tongue in amazement: even the lavish decoration of a nightclub cost only a few hundred thousand, yet the initial decoration fee for a coffee shop was one million Hong Kong dollars.

The rich really know how to have fun.

"Boss, are you planning to turn the coffee shop into a landmark of Hong Kong Island?" Barbara couldn't help asking.

Wang Bo's eyes lit up. 'A landmark of Hong Kong Island—that could work. Go with that standard. Don't be afraid to spend money; it must be the best, understand?'

Barbara put away the check and said, "I understand, boss."

Wang Bo nodded with satisfaction, finished his coffee, and said, "Then I won't disturb you anymore. Get moving quickly. If anything comes up, give me a call, or you can come find me."

Barbara asked, "Where can I find you, boss?"

"I live at Villa No. 10 in Repulse Bay," Wang Bo said.

"Repulse Bay..." Barbara was startled, knowing her boss was wealthy, but she never imagined he could afford a villa in Repulse Bay.

This was a truly wealthy person.

After finishing this matter, Wang Bo got up and left. When he reached the door, he stopped again.

“Barbara.”

"Mm, any orders, boss?" Barbara asked quickly.

"Remember, go buy yourself some nice clothes. Don't be afraid to spend money, but they must have style, understand?"

“I understand, boss!”

Wang Bo smiled faintly and turned to leave.

After leaving the hotel, Wang Bo had just gotten into the car when his phone rang.

"Hello." Wang Bo answered the phone.

"It's me, it's me."

There's no such thing as an 'it's me, it's me' scam these days, and besides, Wang Bo immediately recognized who the voice belonged to. 'What a surprise, Yazi. A busy person like you actually calling me of your own accord.'

“Who do you think is to blame for my being so busy? I could have gotten off work early last night, but thanks to you, I ended up working overtime all night.”

Wang Bo felt a bit embarrassed hearing Yazi's complaints.

"How about this, Yazi—to make it up to you, I'll treat you to a feast, a delicacy you've never tasted, something as impressive as Crystal Cola, a treasure from my private collection."

"You said it yourself." As soon as Yazi heard that she could eat delicacies no less delicious than Crystal Cola, all her grievances vanished into thin air.

Although she was not a foodie, she had to admit that the treasures in Wang Bo's home were indeed very delicious.

Especially the Crystal Cola, which even now she still finds unforgettable.

"Then I'll go to your place to find you now?"

"No problem, but don't you have to work now?"

"I need to rest too, you know. Even an iron man can't work nonstop twenty-four hours a day. It just so happens I haven't eaten lunch today, so I'll come to your place now."

"No problem." Wang Bo agreed readily, and asked, "About what time can you get here?"

“About an hour.”

“I understand.” Wang Bo nodded, calculating that if he drove a bit faster, he could be home in half an hour, and if he used sorcery, he could be home right now.

But under the broad daylight, Wang Bo didn't really want to use sorcery; if someone saw it, it would be troublesome.

Besides, sometimes speeding isn't bad either.

So Wang Bo floored the accelerator, openly speeding down the road.

Half an hour later, Wang Bo returned home and began selecting ingredients. It wasn't until he saw Yazi's car parked at his doorstep that he finally settled on the ingredients.

A standard four-dish-one-soup meal! All ingredients come from the world of [Toriko]. The four dishes are:

Grilled loin mushroom, a shiitake with the texture of a luxurious sirloin steak. With just the right amount of fat, it is an ingredient that pairs well with pepper salt and yuzu vinegar.

Celebrity pork chop. Celebrity pigs are pigs that only drink dew and consume nutrient-rich vegetation, so their meat is exceptionally tender and rich in collagen, making it a premium beauty ingredient!

With just a light pan-fry, its flavor reaches its peak, becoming perfectly seasoned. Paired with onions that grow on goat heads and a rich, aromatic mineral cheese, the fragrance is overwhelming! The aftertaste lingers endlessly.

The Whitening Tuna is a giant tuna that prefers warm waters. It usually lurks on the seabed, making it hard for passing ships to spot. Its flesh is tender and delicious, full of flavor, and extremely tasty. It also has a whitening effect, which is quite magical.

Pan-seared imperial snow crab, a species that lives in cold regions and is even larger than a human body—this time, Wang Bo selected only the knuckle meat, yet it was still extremely delicious.

The final soup was the Beautiful Goddess Lobster Bisque.

Slightly larger than ordinary lobsters, its flavor is exceptionally delicious, making it most suitable for soups. The rich and mellow taste melts into the soup, and the fragrant aroma of the sea wafts to the nose—truly the pinnacle of soup-making.

Moreover, this item is from the same series as the whitening tuna, also possessing whitening effects that can remove small spots and blemishes on the skin.

As for the rice, it was still the rice of ultimate bliss.

"How fragrant."

When Yazi entered the villa, she immediately smelled waves of distinctly different fragrances, feeling a sudden lift in spirits. The fatigue accumulated from overtime work instantly vanished without a trace.

She looked at the exquisite food on the table, her mouth nearly watering.

"Hey, hey, hey, what exactly are these? They smell way too good."

Wang Bo smiled slightly, pulled out a chair, and said, "Please sit down."

Yazi sat down without standing on ceremony.

Wang Bo sat across from her and said, "Don't stand on ceremony. All of this is prepared for you. Eat quickly—it won't taste good once it gets cold."

Yazi picked up the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

If she waited any longer, she was afraid she would actually start drooling. At that point, her image as a beauty would be gone forever, and she would never be able to hold her head up in front of Wang Bo again.
