Every time she arrived in a new city, she would always try the most famous local fish dishes. You could say she was never happy without fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, they were just bodyguards and didn’t have the authority to decide whether Jiang Hongyi stayed or left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere was becoming tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wendong’s voice broke in, \"Old Jin, I mean, your attitude towards guests is really unfriendly. How can you do business if this gets out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up and apologize to the guest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wendong knew Jin Zhicheng was defending him, but he didn’t want this small issue to affect the reputation of the South Lake Fish Restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zhicheng unwillingly apologized to the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"King Kong, go grab a table, the weather’s pretty nice today. Let’s eat outside!\" Xu Wendong gave King Kong a nod and then politely asked the bodyguard, \"Eating outside shouldn’t bother you, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodyguard didn’t respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, King Kong brought a table outside. Fortunately, the weather was sunny and windless, dining outside was quite delightful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wendong didn’t order. He just had Jin Zhicheng prepare some signature dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little while later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Jin arrived late, carrying two bottles of Maotai. Naturally, they exchanged a few pleasantries after meeting, and then he opened the bottle, filling up Xu Wendong’s glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them chatted while eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At noon, a black van arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, several bodyguards at the door rushed forward, escorting a dazzling woman with exquisite features towards the South Lake Fish Restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a tall figure and graceful posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole aura around her was cold and unapproachable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t even glance at Xu Wendong’s table as she passed by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was Jiang Hongyi, the hottest female celebrity in the country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, her manager Jiang Yan had a displeased look. After entering the South Lake Fish Restaurant, she found Jin Zhicheng and complained, \"Mr. Jin, what’s with that table outside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zhicheng was not a fan of such people but still politely asked, \"They’re our relatives, and they’re dining outside. Is there a problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan was left speechless, then sneered coldly, \"Of course, there’s no problem, but we’ve booked the entire place today. And with Hongyi’s fame, people will soon find out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If someone sees people eating in the yard and uploads videos or photos online, do you think it will affect Hongyi’s reputation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zhicheng shrugged and appeared indifferent, \"What does what you’re saying have to do with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" Jiang Yan was exasperated, and Jin Zhicheng’s attitude soured her mood. After all, many others would love for Jiang Hongyi to dine at their restaurant to boost their fame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jin Zhicheng seemed indifferent to their arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t already lunchtime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, Jiang Hongyi wanted to eat fish. She would have left with Jiang Hongyi by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yan impatiently said, \"Let them come inside to eat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Jiang Hongyi didn’t like dining with ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she also knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If today’s situation leaked out, unscrupulous media would definitely take it out of context and even create rumors about Jiang Hongyi being a diva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wendong wasn’t surprised when he learned they could dine inside the restaurant since he’d already guessed they’d be invited inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t really want to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, dining inside made him feel inferior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It gave the impression that he had to go in just because he was invited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, eating in the sun outside was truly a pleasant thing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His purpose for coming here wasn’t for a meal, but to get close to Jiang Hongyi and discuss endorsement matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he refused them, the relationship would undoubtedly get quite unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had to move inside the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he still didn’t meet Jiang Hongyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they were dining on the first floor, while Jiang Hongyi was in a private room on the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yiren and Huang Ruirui looked at Xu Wendong, their eyes full of resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys eat here, I’ll be right back!\" Xu Wendong headed straight to the kitchen, found a server, and asked him to take off his uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Server Xu Wendong officially went online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It so happened the kitchen had just prepared a dish of Marinated Fish, a unique local delicacy where three-ounce crucian carp were fried in oil and then soaked in marinated soup for over forty-eight hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once served, it made for an excellent side dish. Because the crucian carp had been fried, the bones were incredibly soft and didn’t need to be picked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since no scales were removed during frying, the marinated soup congealed into a gelatinous texture during soaking, known colloquially as \"fish jelly.\" It had a jelly-like texture and the aroma of the marinated fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this dish, South Lake Fish Restaurant excelled in making.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wendong brought the dish to the second floor, but as he entered the private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was recognized by Jiang Hongyi’s manager, Jiang Yan: \"Weren’t you eating downstairs? How come you’re a server now? Oh, I get it, you’re deliberately trying to get close to us, aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must say, your method is quite effective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hongyi’s gaze was indifferent as she glanced at Xu Wendong, \"Are you here for a photo or an autograph?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was already used to fans appearing around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To get close to her, they would go to great lengths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wendong placed the dish on the table, smiling, \"I’m not here for a photo or an autograph. I’d like to discuss a collaboration with Miss Jiang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These matters, you can just talk to me.\" Jiang Yan said as she picked out fish bones and placed the fillet on Jiang Hongyi’s plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This small gesture made Xu Wendong frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his first time meeting Jiang Hongyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this woman left him with a bad impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention booking out the place just to eat, this whole business of having someone else pick out fish bones was hard to swallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without someone picking out the bones, you wouldn’t eat fish?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling himself together, he introduced himself, mentioned the company’s product, and expressed his hope that Jiang Hongyi would become the company’s spokesperson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just your tiny company dreaming of hiring Hongyi as a spokesperson? Do you even know how much her endorsement fee is?\" Jiang Yan sneered after hearing this, \"Not that I’m looking down on your company, but your ten-year revenue can’t match her one-year endorsement fee!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wendong drew a cold breath, \"Does Miss Jiang’s endorsement fee reach two billion a year?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My god!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it really that impressive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan’s lips twitched as she looked at Xu Wendong with a dark expression, \"Does your company make two hundred million a year?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wendong flashed a bright smile, \"We’re doing alright. Our company’s cream for wealthy ladies has only been on the market for less than half a year and has already made over two hundred million!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1188,"2026-05-30T06:35:08.773Z","2026-06-01T04:30:32.787Z",1,"novelbin.me","2e3622fed953629cbf6767f27eb4d58ad5305993b234ad717e05b289182f640e","urban-romantic-divine-doctor-chapter-484","urban-romantic-divine-doctor-chapter-482",1693,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-romantic-divine-doctor-cover.jpg"]
