Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

After Lin Bufan and Gao Wen returned to the car, Gao Wen leaned back in the chair, tapping the edge of the window with her fingers, and said with a half-smile, "Assistant Lin, I'm hungry. Take me to eat."

Lin Bufan gripped the steering wheel, his lips curled up slightly, and he looked at Gao Wen with interest: "What would you like to eat, big star?"

Hearing this, Gao Wen glanced at Lin Bufan with a look of arrogance in her eyes. "Isn't this something an assistant should consider? I'm going to a restaurant that has delicious food but few people. If I'm not satisfied, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Delicious, few people!

How delicious is delicious?

How many people is considered too few?

Obviously, Gao Wen will have the final say!

Lin Bufan naturally knew that Gao Wen was deliberately making things difficult for him, or rather, Gao Wen made him an assistant for three days just to make things difficult for him, but Lin Bufan didn't care about it!

Since Gao Wen couldn't find fault with him no matter what he did, Lin Bufan simply took Gao Wen to the western restaurant he acquired. At least this way the benefits would remain within the family!

"I happen to know a good Western restaurant. I'll take you there to try it." As he said that, Lin Bufan started the car.

Seeing that Lin Bufan agreed without hesitation, Gao Wen was secretly proud of herself. She thought that Lin Bufan didn't know what she was planning, so she couldn't help but reveal a sly smile.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of an elegantly decorated Western restaurant. Gao Wen watched as customers came out from time to time and raised her eyebrows slightly. "That's it?! Did you forget that I was looking for a less crowded restaurant?"

Gao Wen thought she had caught Lin Bufan's mistake, so she sat up straight and started to talk him into a fight, "You have to remember your identity. You're the assistant of a famous celebrity, so you have to be extra careful with your schedule. If the paparazzi caught you doing this, do you know how much of a rip it would have on me?"

Lin Bufan smiled slightly and pointed at the "Temporarily Closed" sign hanging at the entrance of the restaurant. "Don't worry, Mr. Gao, this restaurant will only serve you today, but..."

Lin Bufan paused slightly, a hint of mischief flashing in his eyes: "I think the cost of renting out the entire venue should be no problem for a big star, right?"

"You..." Gao Wen was speechless for a moment. After a moment, Gao Wen said proudly, "I, Gao Wen, am a famous star. This little money is naturally no problem for me. But my money is not blown by the wind. If you want me to pay this money, you must satisfy me. If I am not satisfied, you can find a way to make the money yourself!"

"Okay, no problem, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" Lin Bufan patted his chest and promised.

The two walked into the restaurant, and the huge space was indeed empty, with only soft piano music flowing in the air. The waiter came up respectfully and led them to the best seat.

Because of Lin Bufan's advance arrangements, various dishes were served as soon as the two sat down. Gao Wen elegantly cut a small piece of steak, and as soon as she put it in her mouth, her brows immediately frowned.

Putting down her knife and fork, Gao Wen pursed her red lips, revealing a look of disgust: "This steak is overcooked, the sauce is cloyingly sweet, and even the side dishes are so ordinary—Assistant Lin, is this what you call guaranteeing my satisfaction?"

Lin Bufan wiped the corner of his mouth calmly: "It seems that tall celebrities have very high requirements for food."

"Of course!" Gao Wen raised her chin, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she leaned forward, close to Lin Bufan: "How about... Assistant Lin cooks himself? If you can't even do such a small thing, the booking fee..." Gao Wen deliberately dragged out the last word, and her slender fingers tapped lightly on the table. Although she didn't say it explicitly, it was full of threats.

Lin Bufan, with his god-level cooking skills, naturally had no reason not to show off his skills. He immediately stood up and slowly rolled up his shirt sleeves: "Since the tall star is so interested, then I will show my ugliness."

Watching Lin Bufan's back as he walked towards the kitchen, Gao Wen curled the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, thinking secretly in her heart: Bastard, this is just the beginning. You actually dared to embarrass me in public. Let me see how I'm going to deal with you!

Twenty minutes later, an enticing aroma wafted out from the kitchen. Gao Wen unconsciously sat up straight, her eyes frequently looking towards the kitchen.

When Lin Bufan appeared with a food cart, Gao Wen's eyes widened instantly. On the plate, there was a perfect golden and crispy Wellington steak, accompanied by exquisite truffle mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables.

"Please taste it, great star." Lin Bufan made a "please" gesture.

Gao Wen pretended to be calm and cut off a small piece. When the puff pastry broke between her teeth, she almost screamed out loud. The beef was tender and juicy, and the rich aroma of foie gras and mushroom sauce blended perfectly. Every bite was an ultimate enjoyment.

This ultimate enjoyment made Gao Wen, who wanted to find fault, feel embarrassed for a moment, but she still forced herself to say, "It's...it's okay." But she couldn't stop using the knife and fork in her hand.

Just as Lin Bufan was watching Gao Wen eat with a smug look on his face, a burly man wearing a chef's towel hurried over: "Boss Lin! I finally found you!"

Lu Yuan said in a flattering manner, "How have you considered the branch store issue?"

Lin Bufan raised an eyebrow and looked at Lu Yuan, a little surprised and asked, "You trained an apprentice so quickly? Isn't it said that it's difficult to become a chef?"

Lu Yuan scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "It's still a little short of perfection, but I think it will be fine after a while! Mr. Lin, what do you think about the branch..."

Lin Bufan glared at Lu Yuan unhappily and said in a serious tone, "What's the rush? Even though we want to open branches and franchise to make money, we can't cheat consumers. In the catering industry, the most important thing is quality. We must provide customers with the best experience. Otherwise, we will destroy our own brand..."

Just as Lin Bufan was lecturing Lu Yuan, Gao Wen, who had been sitting nearby, suddenly interrupted and said, "Wait, what did you say? This restaurant is yours?"

Lin Bufan pretended to look at Gao Wen in confusion: "Didn't I tell you before?"

Gao Wen was immediately furious. She stood up abruptly, her hands on the table, her eyebrows raised. "Well, Lin Bufan, you're asking me to pay for your restaurant? You really think I'm a sucker! You're just ripping me off!"

Lin Bufan raised a playful smile, leaned back slightly, and said slowly, "Gao Daxingxing, this is not right. You personally agreed to pay the rent for the entire restaurant. What does this have to do with whether I am the restaurant owner?"

Gao Wen's cheeks flushed with anger, and she clenched her fists: "You deliberately concealed your identity, which is fraud!"

"Fraud?" Lin Bufan spread his hands, looking innocent, and leaned back in his chair. "I just didn't specify it. Besides, even if we go to another restaurant, does that mean the big star doesn't have to pay for the private dining?"
