Chapter 236: Chapter 228: You Clearly Just Want Her Body!

Saw off Huang Tao.

Chen Wenli was still thinking about what had just happened.

She turned her head and said to Jiang Guowei, "I’ll call Mrs. Lin later! I need to discuss this with her first. Being polite is a concern, but once I explain it to Mrs. Lin, it will be easier for Boss Huang to bring it up."

Although she felt that convincing Mrs. Lin and her husband to rent out the ground floor was unlikely.

After all, given Mrs. Lin and her husband’s character, if they’re not short on money, they’d prefer to keep the place as a keepsake rather than rent it out.

Jiang Guowei nodded in agreement: "That’s necessary. Make sure you remember to do it later; don’t get so busy that you forget! Never mind, you’re so prone to forgetfulness, I’ll remind you again around 2 o’clock."

The sooner you call Mrs. Lin, the sooner Boss Huang can get in touch with her.

After speaking, he heard a sigh from his wife.

And it seemed quite melancholic!

He could guess with his toes what his wife was thinking.

Simply put, she was worried about not being able to enjoy Delicious Restaurant’s food freely anymore in the future.

This thought made Jiang Guowei sigh along with her.

Just then, a customer came in to buy something and shouted as soon as they walked in: "Boss, give me a pack of cigarettes."

"Oh, alright, I’ll get it for you right away." Jiang Guowei stopped thinking about unfamiliar matters, swiftly reached into the glass cabinet to retrieve it.

...

Over at Delicious Restaurant.

As soon as Huang Tao returned to the store, he headed straight to the kitchen to check on his Honeyed Ham.

Seeing that the timing was just right.

He had Xu Hao take out the ham and pour off the liquid.

He then took some rock sugar and let Xu Hao place it on each ham plate, then had Xu Hao pour clear chicken broth over them, covering the meat, and placed them in the steamer for a second steaming.

Just after finishing these.

The voices of delivery vendors called from outside, "Boss Huang, I’ve brought the goods you ordered."

Upon hearing this.

Huang Tao and the employees immediately came out in full force to help move the ingredients together.

Jiang Guowei saw this and immediately came out of his convenience store to lend a hand, moving the ingredients into the kitchen.

Once all the ingredients were moved, the vendors each got onto their electric trikes, bidding farewell to Huang Tao in unison, "Boss Huang, I’m leaving now, hope to come by and taste your Honeyed Ham when I have the time."

Huang Tao smiled and replied, "You’re welcome, thank you all."

"No worries, I’m off."

The vendors left first.

Jiang Guowei rubbed his hands: "Boss Huang, hold off on making that call for now. My wife will contact Mrs. Lin later, so call around 7 PM tonight!"

"Sure."

Huang Tao nodded and thanked him, "Thank you for the trouble."

Jiang Guowei waved his hand, "No problem, I’m heading back now."

Seeing Jiang Guowei off, Huang Tao returned to the kitchen to continue working.

"Boss, the pork belly you ordered is already cleaned." Lin Zifeng, along with Ding Suqin, had brought over the cleaned pork belly for Huang Tao to use.

"Great, just leave it here!"

Next up was to prepare the Dongpo Pork.

Just then.

His phone’s WeChat notification suddenly sounded.

Hearing this, he looked surprised, curious about who had messaged him.

He turned to Xu Hao and instructed, "Haozi, I’ll leave the cutting of the pork belly to you!"

Having said that, he wiped his hands, took out his phone, and looked.

It turned out to be from his good buddy, Gu Zhihao.

"Tao, what are you up to now?"

Huang Tao’s mouth curled into a smile, unable to help but mutter in his heart: This guy, why did he suddenly think of messaging me?

He tapped his phone screen, replying with a sentence: "What else can I be doing, cooking!"

A few seconds later, Gu Zhihao sent a "thumbs up" picture.

Followed by a voice message: "When it comes to cooking, my grandma doesn’t even need help crossing the street, she’d only rely on you, Tao. What are you cooking now?"

Huang Tao replied in a voice message, "Honeyed Ham and Dongpo Pork."

The other party immediately sent a "drooling" picture.

Huang Tao chuckled, "If you’re tempted, come over to eat when you have time. My doors are always open for you."

Gu Zhihao: "I knew you’re the best to me, Tao."

Huang Tao couldn’t be bothered with beating around the bush, directly asking: "You’re not just here to butter me up, are you? What’s up?"

Seeing this, Gu Zhihao didn’t hold back, "Tao, I feel like I’m in love!"

???

Huang Tao looked blank, his first thought being, could this guy be playing truth or dare with someone?

Huang Tao: "Zhihao, it’s not April Fool’s Day today!"

Gu Zhihao looked exasperated.

Why doesn’t anyone believe when he tells the truth!

Is his integrity that untrustworthy?

With tears in his eyes, Gu Zhihao sent a voice message: "Tao, it’s true! Truer than gold!"

"Uh, what do you mean by like?"

Huang Tao pondered, caught on, and asked confusedly, "Is it unrequited love?"

Moments later, Gu Zhihao sent several voice messages over.

"Yeah, pretty much what you thought, she doesn’t know I feel this way yet."

"She’s a new colleague. Initially, I didn’t feel much, but during a team dinner two days ago, when we went karaoke after, I suddenly found that, under the lights as she sang, she was so enchanting. I’m telling you, my heart felt like it was hit by Cupid’s arrow, it was pounding like crazy, I almost wanted to take my heart out and give it to her right there!"

Huang Tao: "..."

He didn’t need to think hard to figure out what was up.

"Did she take off her jacket while singing?"

This statement left Gu Zhihao utterly shocked, unable to help but curse.

"Damn! Tao, how did you know? Are you a reincarnated prophet or something? You figured this out?"

"Tao, let me tell you! After she sang a song with another female colleague, she took off her outer jacket, and that figure – wow, the S-curve, everything nicely shaped, especially the front, truly spectacular! You know the Alps, right? Way more impressive than those mountains."

Same old habits!

Huang Tao ruthlessly exposed: "You’re not in love; you’re just lusting after her body!"

Lusting after her body?

Well, alright, he admits, he was indeed tempted.

Though there was that element, Gu Zhihao felt it was more love.

Gu Zhihao chuckled, "My emotional and physical reactions were genuine, I firmly believe this is true love."

"Tao, among my friends, you’re the only one with experience, any advice for your brother here on what to do next? I’ve never seriously pursued a girl, a bit anxious!"

Huang Tao smiled, "They say to win a girl’s heart, you need to win her stomach first, so why not invite her out to eat."

"You might be onto something, Tao! So where should I take her to eat? How about I bring her to your restaurant? Your food is so delicious, she’d probably like it too, right?"

Huang Tao cautiously replied, "I can’t say for sure, everyone has different tastes."

"True, I’ll try asking her out! If she agrees, can you save me a table?"

"Normally I wouldn’t, but since you’re my brother, saving you a table is no problem."

"Thanks, Tao. I’ll contact you once I’ve set up the date."

"Okay!"

After chatting, Huang Tao put his phone back in his pocket.

By then, Xu Hao had already finished cutting the pork belly.

He then started preparing the Dongpo Pork.
