Fallen To The Ruthless Obssessive CEO-Chapter 532 - 449:

After the meeting, Mr. Bao asked the manager to take them to a private room.

"Not everyone needs to stay. Keep two and let the rest go back to rest."

Bao Ye spoke calmly, pouring floral tea and placing it in front of Jiang Ruan.

He spoke gently, "Have some water to soothe your throat."

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, "Alright."

Restaurant Manager: "Yes, Mr. Bao."

Then he turned around to make arrangements.

He, of course, had to stay.

He also kept a head chef to prepare additional dishes for Mr. Bao and Jiang Ruan, and an articulate waiter to serve them at any time.

Jiang Ruan looked at the restaurant environment with a feeling as if she were in the small town of Florence: "Is this a new restaurant by the Bao Family? The decor is quite distinctive."

Bao Ye replied, "The Bao Family has four or five dining subsidiaries. Previously, we didn’t pay much attention to the dining sector, but we plan to reinvigorate it this year."

"We plan to open ten themed restaurants in Beijing, each with a different style. This is the first one with a Florence theme, but it serves domestic specialty Hunan cuisine."

Jiang Ruan’s eyes lit up, "Hunan cuisine?"

"The contrast is indeed interesting."

Bao Ye smiled, "Knowing you like it, I brought you here to try it."

"As the lady boss, you can offer some feedback after the meal, so they can learn and improve."

Upon hearing the words "lady boss," Jiang Ruan couldn’t help but blush a little, her heart pounding.

She said, "Sure."

Soon, the dishes arrived.

A total of ten dishes, including Stir-Fried Spicy Beef, Fish Head with Chopped Chili, Stir-Fried Meat with Chili, and Spicy Stir-Fried Chicken Gizzards with White Chili...

The tableware for all the dishes is also in Florence style, very elegant and luxurious.

As soon as the dishes arrived, the rich aroma wafted through the air.

Jiang Ruan hadn’t eaten much that evening and was genuinely hungry. Smelling the delicious aroma, she swallowed her saliva.

She picked up her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of beef to eat.

The beef was spicy and tender, a bit hot, but perfectly cooked, not sticking to the teeth and slightly elastic.

Jiang Ruan swallowed it and complimented it without reservation, "Delicious."

"Did you hire this chef with a high salary?"

Bao Ye smiled, "Very clever. His ancestral home is in Hunan, and for three generations, his family has been excelling in culinary skills, specializing in Hunan cuisine."

Jiang Ruan could handle spicy food, but Bao Ye wasn’t particularly good with spice.

However, he also had the chef prepare three non-spicy dishes.

Bao Ye ate and asked her, "How’s the taste?"

Jiang Ruan was already sweating from eating, but the more she ate, the more hooked she became, "It’s not just okay; it’s exceptionally delicious."

Jiang Ruan excitedly said, "I’ve had a lot of Hunan cuisine, but this place definitely ranks in the top three."

Bao Ye laughed, "Such high praise?"

He said, placing a piece of beef in her plate with his chopsticks, "It seems I’ve hired the right chef."

Jiang Ruan nodded, "Indeed."

The food was too delicious, especially when every dish was paired with rice; it was exceedingly flavorful.

Despite trying to restrain herself, Jiang Ruan couldn’t resist eating more than half a bowl of rice.

Feeling her somewhat rounded belly, she was satisfied but also anxious, "Oh no, I must’ve gained two pounds from this meal."

"You won’t," Bao Ye put down his chopsticks, "I’ll go for a run with you later to digest; you won’t gain weight."

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

Bao Ye looked over, "Come in."

The manager came in with a waiter, carrying a tray with a pot of chrysanthemum tea.

"Mr. Bao, Mrs. Bao, this is our restaurant’s newly developed chrysanthemum tea, designed to cool down and alleviate the dryness in the mouth and throat after eating Hunan cuisine. Please have a taste."

Bao Ye said, "Put it down."

After setting it down, the manager earnestly asked Bao Ye, "Mr. Bao, what do you think of our dishes’ taste?"

Being asked, Bao Ye replied truthfully, "I’m not an expert on Hunan cuisine, but it’s Mrs. Bao’s favorite."

Bao Ye glanced at Jiang Ruan, his eyes twinkling with amusement, "So, Mrs. Bao, did these dishes suit your taste?"

He’s truly mischievous now.

Particularly, he loves calling her Mrs. Bao in front of others.

Jiang Ruan felt a bit warm at the tips of her ears, but she didn’t shy away and responded with a smile, "These dishes are delicious and genuinely capture the essence of authentic Hunan cuisine."

Upon hearing this, the manager’s eyes instantly brightened.

"Thank you, Mrs. Bao, we will try even harder."

"We won’t disturb your meal any longer then."

He bowed and then left with the waiter.

Bao Ye poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Jiang Ruan, which was warm, just the right temperature to drink now.

"Have a taste." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
