Chapter 71: A Mouthful of Trump Cards

Zhou Nan clearly knew France well, be it the local customs or culinary culture, he could talk about them effortlessly.

"Provençal fish soup and beef bourguignon are quite famous. For those with a sweet tooth, there's also soufflé,"

"The light and fluffy texture will make your taste buds feel happy..."

"Senior Brother Zhou, I want a soufflé!" Nan Nan raised her hand with a look of longing, "I just yearn for happiness!"

Especially the happiness between men, hehe!

Zhou Nan gave a thumbs up, "No problem."

Then he turned to another person, "Lao Yi, how about some dessert to change your mood?"

"Otherwise, you'll keep acting like someone who’s been choked with medicine, picking fights with everyone!"

Shi Huayi immediately became unhappy, stiffening his neck, "For whose sake am I doing this?"

"Don't you have a clue?!"

"No clue," Zhou Nan shrugged, turning to ask others about their lunch preferences.

With nowhere to vent his anger, Shi Huayi puffed out his cheeks like a pufferfish.

The live stream viewers saw this scene and the chat exploded,

"I just realized, the love between two middle-aged men is also quite engaging!"

"What middle-aged men? They're only thirty! They’re still young!"

"Annoying! Why am I called an old aunt at thirty?! I’m not even middle-aged yet!"

"Let's face it, both Zhou Nan and Shi Huayi look good, they have a couple-like vibe, with thick eyebrows and a dignified air that commands respect."

"Hisss—Now I see what they have in common, they both look like they belong in the government!"

While the live stream was buzzing, Jian Li was studying the menu, hesitating over which main course to choose. A clear voice came from beside him,

"Beef bourguignon is excellent, made with Burgundy wine, it has a rich and lingering flavor."

This thought aligned with Jian Li’s, and he smiled, "Alright."

"Two beef bourguignons."

Huo Xiao took the menu and handed it to Zhou Nan.

"I want fish soup!"

The next voice seemed to be challenging, "French fish soup is the most delicious, while beef bourguignon probably came from England."

"Actually, there's also French foie gras and escargots à la Bourguignonne, both excellent dishes, but unfortunately..."

Lu Siqi didn’t continue.

"Unfortunately, you don’t have the money!"

"You’re here on a budget trip, can you stop craving those fancy meals?!"

"Showing off your superiority all the time, I really admire you!"

"Speaking of which, Brother Xiao should be richer than you, why isn’t he complaining about everything?"

"Originally, I thought two people couldn’t be so different if they shared a bed, but now I see, even brothers can be so different!"

The director behind the monitor stroked his chin thoughtfully, "It’s the first time I’ve seen such unified comments in the chat,"

"It seems they caused a lot of trouble in previous shows?"

The assistant nodded, "So I heard."

"Later, they probably just let themselves go."

The director thought for a moment, "Then we should add more fuel to the fire, let the netizens enjoy it to the fullest."

The assistant was taken aback, "Director, you mean... kicking them when they’re down."

The director glared at him, "Why do you have to put it so harshly? I call it going with the flow!"

After receiving instructions through his earpiece, the host walked into the restaurant with a megaphone, "Due to the significant difference in spending, the production team suggests that our guests form their own groups,"

"Pairs or larger groups,"

"After lunch, you can announce your choices."

Although Zhou Nan felt a bit disappointed that he couldn’t fully utilize his expertise, he still nodded, "Once the bill is settled, I’ll return the remaining money."

When he saw the yellow envelope being passed over, the host, feeling his position secure again, was secretly pleased,

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Take that!

Without command, I’d like to see how you act smugly now!

The lunch was actually quite good, at least Jian Li, a carnivore, found it very satisfying, burping as he walked out of the restaurant.

Feeling something on his mouth, he instinctively tried to wipe it off with his hand, but a long, slender hand nearby offered a white napkin, "Use this."

"Give it to me when you're done, I'll throw it away."

Jian Li raised his eyes, "......"

Do you have to be so considerate?!

Are you really getting into character on this dating show?!

He ignored the unusual feeling, took the tissue, and said absent-mindedly, "Thanks, bro."

Huo Xiao's hand paused, "No problem."

"Oh my God, Brother Li is such a straight man?! The affection is so obvious, and he still calls him 'bro'?! "

"Huo Xiao: Bro it is, who made my wife a bro?!"

"Phew—To be honest, this romantic line came a bit abruptly, how did it suddenly turn into liking?"

"Previous floor, do we even need to ask?! People are all visual animals, my Brother Li is both handsome and cool, who wouldn't like him?!"

"Exactly, exactly, didn't Lu Siqi that scoundrel also turn around? His jealousy was so obvious!"

Yuan Feng turned his head and saw Jian Li and Huo Xiao, his voice casual, "No matter how other guests pair up, we Vendetta Squad should stick together, right?"

Jian Li nodded as if it were a given, "We're used to it."

Mainly because of our chemistry and lack of fussiness.

"I want to join you!" Li Zimu stepped forward with her chest out, "Sister Hong said I have unique bones, suitable to be with you guys!"

"Me too!" Nan Nan raised her hand obediently, "I want to be with Master Zhou."

Shi Huayi couldn't help rolling his eyes, looking for an excuse to refuse.

Then a low voice came from behind, "I, I also want to join, being with you guys gives me a sense of security."

Except for the two Lus, only the older man Gu Yuan hadn't spoken, the host looked over, "What about you?"

"I," Gu Yuan didn't hesitate, "Any fool would choose the Vendetta Squad, right?"

"Those two are clearly troublemakers."

"Ha ha ha, who would've thought, Gu Yuan looks introverted and easy to handle, but his words are like a bombshell!"

"Using 'troublemakers' to describe them is so fitting!"

"Since that's the case, let's split into two groups," the host held the megaphone and turned to Lu Siqi, "You two have no objections, right?"

At this moment, Lu Siqi's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, "No objections."

"As long as they don't regret it!"

"Heh, I doubt you'll see that happen!"

Lu Yuanhang was quite happy, finally having a chance to be alone together, he picked up the envelope after the distribution and asked excitedly,

"Brother Qi, shall we find a place to stay first?"

Lu Siqi's gloomy gaze followed the other group as they gradually walked away, he grunted through his nose,

"You decide."

"Me?" Lu Yuanhang was confused, "I'm not very familiar with Provence..."

"Why don't you call the secretary and ask?"

Lu Siqi turned his head, his expression cold, "Can't you handle something like this? Do you still want the branch management rights?"

"Are you dreaming?!"

Lu Yuanhang felt very wronged, "The secretary usually handles these small things..."

"Ha ha ha, the director knows how to stir up trouble, putting these two troublemakers together will definitely lead to internal conflict."

"Fight! Fight! If one of you doesn't die, neither of you will be surnamed Lu!"
