After reaching an agreement with Gu Yuqing, his appetite improved a lot, and Chen Ya started to observe this little "private chef".

A European-style candlestick ceiling lamp hangs above the head. The candles in the ceiling lamp are real candles, carefully covered in a glass cover;

On the brown sandalwood table with delicate texture, there is an animal-shaped iron incense burner, from which the aroma of ambergris comes out;

The flickering candlelight reflected on the red wine glass on the table, and the charcoal fire burned quietly in the fireplace.

Under the various firelights, Gu Yuqing looked particularly beautiful.

Chen Ya opened the lid of the incense burner with his hands and smelled it. There was a layer of fine white ash inside, but he couldn't see clearly.

"Is this incense? I heard it's very expensive?"

"There are expensive ones and there are cheap ones. Low-quality incense costs dozens of yuan, and good ambergris is worth as much as gold." Gu Yuqing said.

"Equal to gold."

Chen Ya repeated it and sniffed it vigorously.

There is no essential difference between it and mosquito coils.

"How much does this burn?"

Gu Yuqing covered her mouth and smiled: "This is not ambergris, but it's not bad. It costs three thousand yuan per pound."

Chen Ya opened his mouth and looked up: "Is it so expensive?"

"Do you know how much our meal costs? It costs more than 10,000 for two people."

It turns out that all the money was spent on this.

Chen Ya finally understood what "rich people mainly eat to enjoy the atmosphere" meant.

"This club doesn't specialize in private cooking. If we want to highlight our competitive advantage, we can only work on details like this." Gu Yuqing said easily.

Chen Ya put an unknown snack into his mouth and felt no other taste except sweetness.

Chen Ya put down his fork and asked, "Can I take the liberty of asking a question?"

"Speaking."

“What’s the motivation for you rich people to eat at places with such a huge price premium?”

"What is the motive?" Gu Yuqing showed a confused expression on her face, "There is no special motive?"

"No, no, let me give you an example," Chen Ya said, "According to my own understanding, when I entertain some distinguished guests, I will take them to eat at an expensive restaurant. This is more respectable.

, and seems to be very respectful to the guests. But if you bring me here..."

Gu Yuqing covered her mouth and smiled: "Do you think you are not a distinguished guest to me?"

"Does it count?"

"It doesn't count."

"..."

Seeing Chen Ya's speechless expression, Gu Yuqing laughed, raised her toes and rubbed Chen Ya's calf under the table.

"There's no special situation. For example, if I want to find a place where I can eat and play tennis, I'll come here."

"Then this place is not cost-effective. Other places..."

"Where else?" Gu Yuqing asked, tilting her head.

"For example, the tennis court..."

"There are too many people, and there will be a lot of eyes staring at me, which makes me uncomfortable." Gu Yuqing put her hands under her chin.

Chen Ya glanced at the heavy burden she placed on the table, swallowed and nodded: "Indeed."

"This place can spend 10,000 to 20,000 yuan and you can enjoy a whole day of cleanliness. It is convenient and affordable. It is much more cost-effective than other places. To me, it is not expensive, but a good deal."

"...My understanding of a good deal is a little different from yours."

He picked up the golden animal-shaped incense next to him and played with it, thought about it, and then said:

"You said, this incense costs 3,000 yuan per catty. This should be what the merchant claims, right? If the merchant passes it off as a good product, we have no way of knowing?"

"I know," Gu Yuqing said while eating steak with a knife and fork, "I can smell it right away. There is a big difference between low-quality aroma and high-quality aroma."

"..."

Once again, his face was shown off invisibly.

In the past, "Aristocratic Family" was just a distant ranking for Chen Ya.

It wasn't until he met Gu Yuqing that he understood what a "noble family" was.

He also understood how rich the rich really are.

Although he has made a lot of money before, he is not really rich.

In essence, he used his own works to earn money, which is, to put it bluntly, hard-earned money.

Jiang Xinhai, Xu Xiangxiao... He has seen many stars of this level.

In the imagination of ordinary people, a star of this level is already extremely rich.

But their money is also made from song after song and from concert to concert.

What they earn is hard-earned money.

Really rich people are different.

Really rich people spend other people's hard-earned money.

Gu Yuqing is a truly rich person.

I used to sit across a table from Gu Yuqing. At that time, there were investors on the other side of the table and investors on this side;

Now the two of them are still sitting across a table from each other, and their identities have become what can be called "friends".

But the distance between this table has always been an insurmountable distance between the two classes.

The closer he gets to her world, the more Chen Ya understands that he and she belong to different worlds.

In that bar earlier, Chen Ya was dazzled for a moment because of the environment and atmosphere, and he coveted and had designs on Gu Yuqing for a moment.

But then Gu Yuqing's words gave up his idea, and he felt unhappy about it for a while.

Thinking about it now, Gu Yuqing's words saved his life.

For people like her who have lived in different worlds since childhood, the two of them are destined to have no future.

After thinking about this, Chen Ya slowly retracted his feet under the table.

The two people's feet were originally very close to each other, but after Chen Ya pulled back a little, the distance between the two suddenly seemed to be much farther away.

Gu Yuqing is a very good eater and companion. While eating, she will explain to Chen Ya how to eat and the origins of various dishes.

She was able to stir up new topics one after another, and they were all very interesting. The whole meal was never dull.

But Chen Ya's attitude became inexplicably colder after the realization just now.

Gu Yuqing looked rough on the surface, but in fact her inner emotions were very delicate. She naturally felt the change in Chen Ya's attitude.

This change made her feel inexplicable and a little irritable at the same time.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Her mood is very contradictory. She does not want Chen Ya to have thoughts about her and pursue her - because that would mean that she would lose someone who can speak well and be pleasing to her eyes.

;

She also didn't want Chen Ya to have no idea about her.

This is the pride of a beautiful girl. If he has no idea about himself, it means he has no charm and will feel frustrated.

What's more, if the man she likes doesn't like her, wouldn't she put on a lot of make-up in vain before seeing him every day? Wouldn't it be a waste of time choosing clothes?

As a result, the atmosphere between the two of them reached a bit of a deadlock. One person felt that his face was warm and his butt was cold, and the other felt that he had to control the distance.

Gu Yuqing wanted to ask him what he thought of her, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

Because Chen Ya didn't actually show anything, but the look in his eyes when he looked at her was not as emotional as before, as if...

It went back to the time when the two of them were doing investment reports across a desk at Gaoshan Capital.

It was a look of pure business cooperation.

If Gu Yuqing asked, she guessed that Chen Ya would most likely say, "Are you too sensitive? I didn't do anything to you."

In that case, it would appear that Gu Yuqing is being sentimental.

Gu Yuqing didn't want to fall in love with Chen Ya in the first place. Even if she did, her principle was that she could never show that she liked the other person first.

Because whoever likes the other person first will lose.

Gu Yuqing will never be considered a loser.

What she didn't realize was that just when she was so distressed, she had already lost.

…

Soon, the meal was finished.
