Gold Medal Sweetheart

Because this club is a membership-only club, most dishes need to be ordered in advance, and the seafood is also flown in directly from the place of origin. So, Jin Taize first selected dishes such as Lujie foie gras, sturgeon caviar, fish scale potatoes, and cappuccino matsutake mushroom soup from the menu. When the waiter and Jin Taize confirmed that the ordered dishes also included Wellington steak, Ginado oysters, Boston cheese baked lobster, Canadian ivory clams, Hokkaido red hair crab sashimi and other dishes, the waiter asked again: "Are these the dishes you ordered? You and Mr. Wei don't like seafood in the past."

There were three people at the table, and two of them didn't like seafood? Tang Xin, who hadn't intended to listen to Jin Taize's order, suddenly looked up at Jin Taize when she heard the waiter's question. Doesn't he like seafood? He always ordered seafood every time they'd dined together, and he seemed to enjoy it. So, as a seafood lover, she had always thought that she'd gotten to enjoy it several times thanks to Jin Taize's kindness.

Jin Taize didn't explain much, and without even looking at Tang Xin, he handed the menu to the waiter. "I used to be afraid of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qing looked at Tang Xin who was sitting next to him and said nothing more.

When Jin Taize was ordering, Tang Xin glanced at the menu and saw that the prices were shocking. Some of the seafood ordered later on was something she had never even heard of. They didn't seem like the common seafood you would eat at home, so they must have been astronomical for her. But when she ate with Jin Taize before, she thought that his tastes were just like hers, so it just happened to suit his taste. After hearing what the waiter said, she suddenly felt that the meal was a bit of a robbery. Jin Taize thought she was Guan Yushan, the daughter of the Director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, so he was deliberately accommodating her. If he knew she was a fake, he would never have wasted so much time and money on her. Knowing all the details, she was not so shameless as to eat such an expensive meal. Her conscience also did not allow her to eat and drink for free like this. Since Wei Qing didn't like it either, they couldn't keep her company.

The waitress took the menu, and Tang Xin stopped her, "Wait a moment."

"What else do you need?"

Jin Taize and Wei Qing also looked at Tang Xin at the same time, "Can we return the seafood we ordered?"

Before the waiter could answer, Jin Taize took the lead and said, "According to the arrangement."

"You two don't like seafood, so why did you order it? And I just saw the menu, it's so expensive, why waste money?" Tang Xin was a little anxious, and wanted to see if there was any chance of salvaging the situation before the waiter left. "The dishes here are too expensive. One dish is enough to buy us several meals out."

Wei Qing shrugged and said, "I don't care. I'm not paying the bill today anyway, so I'll just follow the host's wishes." With a smile on his face, he looked at Jin Taize meaningfully.

The waiter smiled politely and said, "Excuse me, miss. Our seafood is all flown in directly from the place of origin. We purchase and transport it in fixed quantities according to customer needs. There are no returns."

Although Tang Xin listened obediently to the waiter's explanation, her disappointment could still be seen from her dejected expression.

Perhaps the well-trained waiter noticed Tang Xin's expression, so he further explained: "In fact, our ingredients are all very fresh, and they are all top-quality seafood. You can't get them in ordinary places. You might as well try it. You will definitely not be disappointed."

"Is that why you're worried? Okay?" Tang Xin was furious, but she gave him a stiff smile.

"No need for introduction," Jin Taize interrupted, "As the daughter of the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, she should be well-informed." He crossed his hands in front of him and looked at Tang Xin leisurely.

Before Tang Xin could respond awkwardly, Jin Taize suddenly put on his signature devilish smile, pretending to be concerned, "You haven't eaten these before, have you?"

Tang Xin didn't expect Jin Taize to say this out of the blue. Without any preparation, she didn't know how to respond for a moment. "Of course - of course I have eaten!" She deliberately widened her eyes and tried to answer in the most affirmative tone possible.

"Yeah, that's what I told you. It's impossible that you haven't eaten it before." Jin Taize crossed his hands in front of his chest and agreed seriously.

But whether it was Jin Taize's imposing stature, his piercing gaze, or perhaps her own insecurity, he always gave Tang Xin a powerful aura. She couldn't hold his gaze for more than two seconds, so she quickly turned her head away.

Wei Qing, who was standing by, looked at Tang Xin's reaction, lowered his head, raised an eyebrow, smiled, and then kindly comforted Tang Xin, "He's broken his promise to me several times, so he deserves the money."

Tang Xin knew that Wei Qing was also trying to smooth things over for her, so she looked at him gratefully. Since she was powerless to refute him, she could only let him do what he wanted.

While waiting for their food, Jin Taize and Wei Qing discussed a recent collaborative project between their companies. Wei Qing's company, Guanyu Group, owns Meida Supermarket, one of China's leading high-end membership supermarkets. Their collaborative project involves Jinxiuli, a high-end residential complex recently launched by Shitian Real Estate. Across the street from the Meida Supermarket, Meida Supermarket has expanded nationwide, boasting over 30 locations. While membership fees are hefty, the selection of imported delicacies, daily necessities, high-quality produce, and proprietary products appeals to those seeking a more refined lifestyle. Consequently, Meida Supermarket has become a loyal fan base among urban professionals. The land acquired by Shitian is a prime urban location, and given Shitian's reputation and quality, pre-sale units would normally be snapped up. However, Shitian has taken the initiative to collaborate with Meida, adding a touch of luster to the already sought-after properties. The advertising slogan is "Splendid Nature, Mida's Choice". This "mix and match" creativity can be said to have made the cooperation between Shitian and Guanyu a win-win situation, and it has won a lot of praise in the industry. Some companies even imitated this model. However, no matter in the real estate field or the fast-moving consumer goods field, it is difficult to have the scale and strength of these two companies, so there is no such effect of shocking the market.

Because Guan Yushan had a Mida membership card, Tang Xin had visited Mida with Guan Yushan before, and the merchandise was indeed of high quality. It turned out that Wei Qing was the boss behind Mida. Tang Xin's understanding of Wei Qing's identity was completely new; no wonder Lin Lin had seen him driving such a valuable car the last time.

They didn't spend much time talking about work; Jin Taize and Wei Qing had agreed to rarely discuss work during their gatherings. As the exquisite dishes arrived, Tang Xin wanted nothing more than to be a heartless eating machine, wanting to minimize any time she spent with Jin Taize. Fortunately, Wei Qing's presence today distracted Jin Taize's attention, making the experience less arduous.
