not far away.
A woman who was looking at the menu gently lowered it and then moved her sunglasses down slightly.
Although she was holding a menu, her gaze remained fixed on Chen Le, who was not far away.
at the same time,
On the other side, Chen Le also felt a chill run down his spine for some reason, as if he were being watched all the time.
"what happened?"
Su Xi gently led Chen Le to his seat.
Because the restaurant operates on a reservation-only basis, each guest has an assigned seat.
Chen Le's seat was directly opposite the restaurant's main entrance, offering a wide view, but... he still felt somewhat uneasy.
Chen Le shook his head.
Maybe I'm too sensitive.
Just then, Boss Zhang walked over, holding a menu in his hand, with his ever-present smile on his face.
"Miss Su, please take a look, this is today's menu."
Su Xi nodded.
Mr. Zhang handed over the menu.
This restaurant does not offer à la carte service; instead, it serves different set menus each day.
The menu lists in detail the dishes offered by the restaurant today, from appetizers to desserts, a total of ten courses.
Of course, if you have any dietary restrictions, you can let us know in advance, and the restaurant will substitute other ingredients.
Su Xi looked at the menu,
"This one, this one, and this one, change it to this one..."
While looking at the menu, Su Xi replaced several of the appetizers with Chen Le's favorites.
Although they had been together for many years, Chen Le's tastes remained a constant in her memory.
"So be it."
Su Xi handed the menu to Boss Zhang.
But Boss Zhang looked at Chen Le with a strange smile on his face.
His eyes held a hint of scrutiny.
Until Su Xi called out,
"Mr. Zhang?"
Mr. Zhang then realized what was happening.
"Um...would you like any kind of alcohol?"
Mr. Zhang asked casually, then looked at Chen Le again.
Chen Le shook his head.
"unnecessary."
Being stared at like that by Boss Zhang, Chen Le felt increasingly uneasy. For a moment, Chen Le even began to doubt his boss's sexual orientation.
Could that gaze I just felt have been from him?
"what happened?"
Chen Le couldn't help but ask,
"without……"
After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Zhang became increasingly certain as he looked at Chen Le, and finally asked in a low voice, "..."
"Excuse me, are you Chen Le, the director of 'Summer's a Trouble'?"
Chen Le then realized what was happening.
Thankfully, it wasn't what he thought. He thought... he thought...
Judging from the look of it, Chen Le probably only got in because the restaurant owner recognized him; otherwise, he would have had to rent a suit just to get in for the meal.
As for Chen Le constantly feeling watched, it's probably because the boss wasn't sure if he was really Chen Le.
Chen Le nodded.
Mr. Zhang's face showed barely concealed excitement.
"Director Chen, you don't know, I'm also a fan of 'Summer's Trouble'. I've watched your movies five or six times!"
Chen Le never expected to meet his fans here.
Boss Zhang looked at Su Xi again and couldn't help but ask.
"Could this be your wife?"
Chen Le smiled and nodded, then took Su Xi's hand.
"Yes."
Upon hearing Chen Le's words, Boss Zhang showed a surprised expression.
Chen Le looks to be only in his early twenties, yet he's already married?
However, Mr. Zhang soon revealed an envious expression.
"Director Chen, you are so lucky to have married such a beautiful wife."
Mr. Zhang's words were not a compliment.
Su Xi has exquisite features and an outstanding temperament. Even in the film and television industry, where beauties abound, she is definitely a top-tier beauty.
Praised by Boss Zhang, Su Xi felt a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushing slightly.
Chen Le replied with a smile,
"Being able to marry Su Xi is truly the greatest blessing of my life."
Boss Zhang glanced at Su Xi again, and suddenly his expression became somewhat troubled.
Seeing this, Chen Le took the initiative to ask,
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang finally spoke.
"Actually... I have a favor to ask, I wonder if Director Chen would be able to grant it?"
Chen Le smiled.
"You said."
Mr. Zhang rubbed his hands together, appearing somewhat excited.
"Um... Director Chen, may I take a photo with you?"
group photo?
Chen Le was surprised that Boss Zhang would make such a request, but he often encountered fans asking for photos, so it wasn't unexpected.
He was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly remembered something, glanced at Su Xi beside him,
"A group photo is fine, but... could you just take a picture of me alone?"
Mr. Zhang was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening.
He has met many celebrities, and many low-profile business tycoons have this requirement: not to expose their families, also to avoid disturbing them.
Thinking of this, Boss Zhang nodded quickly.
"That's nature, that's nature."
He turned around, and his expression returned to normal as he looked at the waiter.
"What are you standing there for? Go get the camera!"
"oh oh!"
The waiter paused, as if just realizing what was happening, and immediately went to get the camera.
The boss is a photography enthusiast and always keeps a camera on hand, but I never expected to actually use it today.
Seeing the waiter bring the camera, Mr. Zhang couldn't hide his excitement. However, he didn't forget Chen Le's request and gave the waiter a special reminder.
"Be careful when taking photos later, and don't capture Ms. Su in the picture."
The waiter nodded, then raised his camera again, aiming it at Chen Le and Boss Zhang.
To ensure he could capture the entire scene, Mr. Zhang leaned back slightly, his hands trembling with nervousness, so he simply made a peace sign.
However, Chen Le doesn't often take photos with people, and for a moment, he didn't know what pose to strike.
So I just copied Mr. Zhang and made a peace sign.
"Two-person machine."
Su Xi couldn't help but think to herself, "Come to think of it, it seems like this is the only pose guys can do when taking pictures."
With a click, the photo was captured.
The waiter respectfully handed over the camera. Mr. Zhang glanced at it and, although his hands were a little shaky, the photo was still acceptable.
After all, he was just a waiter, unlike Mr. Zhang who was there specifically to take photos.
"Then I won't disturb your meal any longer."
After taking the photo, Mr. Zhang got up to leave.
After all, it's really inappropriate for a restaurant owner to stay here indefinitely.
Having already gotten the group photo, Boss Zhang chuckled and then grabbed the waiter, urging him on.
"Let's go, let's not bother Director Chen Le here!"
As the owner walked, he urged the waiters to hurry up and prepare the dishes.
"Tell the kitchen staff to be more careful. If Director Chen Le doesn't like the taste today, you're all fired!"
