Chapter 30: An Eye-Opener
Just as they reached the entrance, a man in his forties came out to greet them.
Gao Jianzhao took Chen Fang's hand and said, "Chen, let me introduce you to Hong Qian, the president of Hongze Group."
Hongze Group?
Hearing this name, Chen Fang gasped in astonishment.
He didn't know Hong Qian personally, but the name of Hongze Group was universally known throughout Wen'an City.
Hongze Group was the largest real estate group in Wen'an City, with countless properties under its belt, and it was said that the company's market value had already surpassed five billion.
"So, it's President Hong, I've heard a lot about you."
Chen Fang reached out warmly.
"This must be our newly appointed Director Chen of the Safety Supervision Bureau. Director Chen, hello, hello…"
Hong Qian was no minor figure.
Yet, in front of Chen Fang, he didn't put on any airs.
On the contrary, he was extremely enthusiastic.
The appearance of the rural restaurant indeed wasn't much to look at.
But upon entering, it was like discovering another world.
The entire courtyard was designed in a traditional Chinese style, complete with pavilions and terraces.
In the center, a stream had been diverted in, teeming with many valuable fish.
The dining rooms were even more unique.
The decor in the entire room was antique-styled, and even the most ordinary chairs were intricately crafted, clearly very valuable.
The three of them took their seats.
It was unclear whether it was intentional or not.
But Chen Fang found himself seated in the middle.
He understood the rules of the officialdom.
So, he tried to let Gao Jianzhao have the middle seat.
Just as he was about to get up, the side door of the private room opened.
A woman, around thirty years old, walked gracefully inside.
The woman had a well-proportioned figure and an elegant posture, with shoulder-length hair and glasses perched on her nose.
Though her attire was simple, it could not hide her stunning face.
Especially her deep, fox-like eyes which made one unable to look away.
The only flaw was the woman's expressionless face and her sickly pale color, giving off an indescribable sense of frailty.
"Lao Gao, can we serve the food now?"
The woman approached Gao Jianzhao and asked.
Gao Jianzhao grabbed the woman's hand and said, "Zifei, let me introduce you to Chen Fang, the newly appointed deputy director of the Safety Supervision Bureau."
"Oh, Director Chen, hello."
The woman smiled faintly, a smile that vanished in an instant.
"Chen, this is my wife, Mo Zifei. She owns this rural restaurant."
Wife?
This woman was Gao Jianzhao's wife?
Gao Jianzhao was already over forty, and the woman in front of him should not be more than thirty-one or thirty-two years old.
There was at least a ten-year age gap between them.
"Hello, Sister-in-law."
Chen Fang reached out proactively.
Mo Zifei hesitated for a moment, but still shook hands with Chen Fang.
The moment their hands touched, Chen Fang shivered slightly.
Mo Zifei's hand was icy cold.
"Zifei, don't just stand there, bring out the dishes."
Gao Jianzhao gave the order.
Not long after Mo Zifei turned and left,
the rear door creaked open.
Expecting someone was bringing the dishes, a faint scent of perfume swept over instead.
He turned around abruptly and was stunned on the spot.
A tall woman dressed in a cheongsam walked in.
The woman was at least one meter seventy tall.
And she was quite attractive.
Most importantly, her clothes.
Though the style was a cheongsam, the material was ultra-thin.
The red beans over her chest were vaguely visible, showing she was not wearing a bra underneath.
The same was true for the lower half.
Although obscured, the grassland was still vaguely visible.
Moreover, the slit of the cheongsam was very high, reaching almost up to her waist, and with a slight movement, any veil of mystery would cease to exist.
Just as Chen Fang was pondering what this woman was exactly doing.
Before everyone, she climbed directly onto the dining table.
At that moment,
suddenly there was music in the room.
It was a kind of very soothing light music.
The woman, barefoot, began to twist her body, and actually started dancing on the dining table.
This scene was something Chen Fang had never seen before, while Gao Jianzhao and Hong Qian seemed to be quite accustomed to it, watching with great interest.
You should know,
the woman's height was higher than the three men's.
And with the high slit of her cheongsam, coupled with the fact she wore nothing underneath, every dance move allowed the three men to fully view the scenery under her skirt.
A song only lasted three to four minutes.
Chen Fang originally thought that this was merely a pre-meal entertainment, and that after the dance, the woman would leave.
But that did not happen.
After the music ended,
the woman slowly kneeled down.
Kneeling before the three men, directly facing Chen Fang, then her shoulders relaxed, the silky cheongsam slid down.
A perfect, flawless body was unabashedly revealed before him.
Next,
the woman spun gracefully on the spot.
She then lay down in the center of the dining table.
At the same time,
the doors of the private room opened again.
Two female servers carrying platters walked in, beginning to place the dishes one by one on the woman's body.
You aren't seeing wrong.
They were indeed placing them on the woman's body.
Whether it be over private areas or naked waists and thighs, all were filled with various dishes.
Of course, it wasn't placed directly.
There was a layer of lotus leaf between the body and the dishes.
Soon,
the woman's pale and gleaming body was covered.
This also signified that the serving was finished.
Gao Jianzhao patted the astonished Chen Fang, and said, "Chen, come on, let's start eating."
With that,
he used chopsticks to pick up a piece of duck from the woman's chest and placed it in Chen Fang's bowl.
Could this be the legendary Nyotaimori?
It must be said, it certainly opened his eyes.
Once the toasting began, the three men also engaged in casual conversation, each downing three glasses of wine, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
Especially Hong Qian, who appeared unusually enthusiastic, offering toast after toast, and already started calling each other brothers.
"Brother Chen, this way of serving was invented by me, but since I'm not well-educated, I haven't come up with a name for it yet. Now that you are here today, I would appreciate it if you could suggest a name."
Chen Fang smiled and said, "You are being modest, brother. It's not really instructing, but since it combines beautiful maidens and delicious dishes, let's call it 'Jade Maiden Dish'."
"Jade Maiden Dish? A good name, a good name indeed."
Hong Qian expressed his admiration with an enthusiastic demeanor.
Then, he turned to Gao Jianzhao and said, "Old Gao, I've decided, today's main course will belong to Brother Chen, what do you think?"
"You decide, I have no objections," Gao Jianzhao said.
Hong Qian loudly called out, turning to Chen Fang, "Brother Chen, come on, today's main course is for you to enjoy."
Main course?
What main course?
Just as Chen Fang was still wondering,
the woman lying on the dining table suddenly opened her mouth.
In her mouth, there appeared a fish ball.
Could this be the legendary main course?
