Girls usually couldn't help their family, and they were born with an elbow out of the house, so it was impossible for her to think about the objective needs of the family. Therefore, before Hu Yue told Ye Luoluo about the situation, she first talked to Zhao An.

If he told Ye Luoluo first, she would definitely be anxious about moving to another place, so it would be very difficult for her to see brother An.

Ah, women still can't do without men, Hu Yue thought.

Zhao An left Hu Yue's home and headed straight for the restaurant that they had agreed to meet.

The restaurant that the Zhang Family had booked was located in the Jade Pearl Restaurant, and was famous throughout Hunan for its high quality food. Often, it was hard to find a table, especially on weekends.

The Jade Pearl Restaurant was quite far away from Zhao An's home. Fortunately, Zhao An was riding a bicycle. Even though the streets of the shop were congested with people, Zhao An still relied on his bicycle's agility to quickly travel to his destination.

There were all kinds of luxury cars parked outside the Jade Bead Tower. Most of them were mid-range luxury cars, like the Audi A6, Mercedes-Benz E and BMW 5 series, as well as a lot of cars at this price. There were more than a million luxury cars and less than 200,000 cars, the numbers were about the same.

The Jade Pearl Restaurant was very popular, but it was actually quite big and could be considered a large restaurant. The large parking lot was already filled with cars, and there were many cars queuing up to enter.

The Jade Pearl Restaurant didn't have a parking space for motorcycles and bicycles, so Zhao An had to push the bicycles around in search of a place to park.

"What are you doing? Is this a place to stroll around?" When the security guard saw a high school student in school uniform whacking around with a bicycle, he immediately came over to interrogate him.

Zhao An parked the bicycle in front of the security guard and passed the keys along with the ten yuan to the security guard. "Help me park the bike and bring the keys to the Hall of Repeater."

The security guard was stunned. This was the first time a bicycle had been stopped, and there was even a tip for it. But for security, as long as there was a tip, it didn't matter whether it was Ferrari or a bicycle.

The words "Return of the King's Pearl" were used in the restaurant. The restaurant was called Jade Pearl Restaurant, so it was one of the best rooms in the restaurant.

Zhang Jiaqing would be able to book the best room in the Jade Bead Pavilion if he called them on the spur of the moment. In front of Zhao An, although he did not put on airs or even had a weak position, the truth was that the Zhang Clan of the Eighth Mai Hall was known as the Wealthy Class in Hunan. They had deep connections and influence, so it was not rare for a restaurant to give him face.

Zhao An walked to the front of the Hall of Return. A middle-aged man in a navy tang suit walked out, followed by a bald head chef and the restaurant manager.

This is the Jade Pearl Restaurant's boss? Zhao An had heard that the Jade Pearl Restaurant's owner was a very experienced chef and had even participated in the preparations for the national banquet. Although he wasn't the head chef, he was still selected to participate in the national banquet's production.

As for the head chef, it was said that he had more experience than the boss, and his salary was the highest among all the chefs in the restaurant. Just his words alone were enough to cause a large group of people to lose their desire to go to university and rush to learn how to cook.

With Zhang Jiaqing's status, it was normal for the Jade Pearl Restaurant's boss to come over and say hello. Zhao An didn't want to attract any attention, so he waited until the group of people had left before knocking on the door to return the favor.

Upon entering, one could hear the sound of a zither in flowing water. On the right, there was a woman dressed in ancient clothes with her hair tied up playing a zither, and on the right, there was a girl dressed in national clothing performing a tea ceremony, bringing cups of tea to the guests.

No wonder it was so hard to book a private room in the Jade Pearl Restaurant... Naturally, the cost of such an arrangement wouldn't be low. Zhao An casually swept his eyes across the box and his gaze fell upon the two people already seated in the box.

One was Zhang Jiaqing, while the other was a young girl who wore the same school uniform as Zhao An. Zhao An immediately guessed that this young girl was Zhang Yuqing's granddaughter.

Zhang Yuyu was also around sixteen to seventeen years old. When wearing the school uniform, one could only feel that she was quite pretty, one could not tell how her figure was. Her delicate and pretty face had eyes that were bright and full of spirit.

Zhao An ran it through in his mind. He didn't have any impression of Zhang Yuyu, and guessed that she was probably the type of person who studied life in a low-key manner without making too much of a fuss.

A rich girl like this would only wake up a few years later when news of her various connections at a reunion revealed her true identity. Everyone would then realize that they were actually classmates with such a character, and even made a tablemate with her, tore her textbooks, and let the eel and frog in her schoolbag go …

Zhao An didn't have much of an impression of Zhang Yuyu, but Zhao An could feel that when Zhang Yuyu looked at him, besides a little bit of bashfulness, there was also excitement.

"Elder Zhang …" This must be your granddaughter, Zhang Yuyu. I didn't think that there would be a young lady from a distinguished family with a Chinese medical background who is a school friend. " Zhao An greeted him before sitting down.

"Hehe, I still want to learn from you." Zhang Jiqing said with a smile.

Zhang Yuyu seemed to be a little shy, but she glanced at Zhao An. She beckoned at the tea lady, and a cup of tea was brought over. Although it was polite, it was still a bit restrained.

"Business is good here. This is the first time I'm here for a meal." Zhao An continued to gossip.

"We can eat together more often in the future. The owner here used to be an acquaintance of mine." Zhang Jiaqing pressed the button to order the dishes. At the same time, he passed the menu to Zhao An. "I've ordered a few of the signature dishes here. Take a look, what else do you need?"

Zhao An randomly ordered a dessert and stopped. Zhang Yuyu took the menu and looked at it again and again. In the end, she didn't order anything, but the first dish had already been served.

"This is the Nestle Fried Sheep Willow. It was invented by the chef here. It has the Islamic flavor and uses potato shredded thread to make the shape of a bird's nest. It is used to heat up the stir-fried Sheep Willow." Zhang Jiaqing introduced the food market, "The Jin'ling Four Treasures Soup is a common dish in the Jiang and Zhe regions. Although it is a common dish, it is also very particular. The monkey-head mushroom is from Northeast China, the pine mushrooms are from Yunnan, the heart of the herb is from Suzhou, the yam is from Xuzhou, and it is cooked with the local old cattle tendon.

"Oh, it looks pretty good …" The dishes were all small, and the small plate in front of each of them was not a big dish. As expected of the boss who had participated in the national banquet before, the dishes were all small, and the small plate in front of each of them was not a big dish.

The roadside stall's food stall had its own specialties. Naturally, the high-end dishes were not only limited to the mediocre products, each having their own good points. Zhao An did not mind either, he did not think that it would be better for him to eat the food at the roadside stall and taste the stir-fried lamb willow. It had a unique flavor, but perhaps he was not used to this taste, so after taking a small bite, Zhang Yuyu did not have any intention to eat any more.

"Don't you have a lot of questions to ask Zhao An?" Why did you become mute the moment we met? " The main purpose of treating Zhao An to a meal was to introduce Zhang Yuyu and Zhao An to each other. Seeing that Zhang Yuyu had stage fright again, Zhang Jiaqing spoke with a smile.

Hearing her grandfather's words, Zhang Yuyu felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and continued to drink the soup without saying anything.

"Zhang Yuyu, do you know Ye Luoluo? Is she in the same class as you? " Although he wasn't interested in knowing Zhang Yuyu, Zhang Jiaquan had spent so much effort trying to get his granddaughter to know him. Zhao An obviously wouldn't pretend that he wasn't just casually making friends with someone else.

Zhang Yuyu nodded, her dimples moving as she said nervously, "I know, but we're not from the same class. Zhang Hui and I are from the same class, you know Zhang Hui, right? She interviewed you before."

Zhao An didn't expect Zhang Yuyu to be in the same class as Zhang Hui … He nodded. "I do. Ye Luoluo is my little sister. Zhang Hui has interacted with her a few times, so he's not familiar with her."

As the conversation shifted away, Zhang Yuyu was no longer as nervous as she was before asking, "Previously, Zhang Hui seemed to be very keen on things related to you. I don't know why, but he suddenly became cold. Is it because you don't like her?"

Zhao An did not try to conceal his intentions. "First, her reputation in the school is not good. Second, I feel that some of her ways and actions deviate from my view of the world."

"So that's the case. Then what about Li Qingge?" After speaking of Li Qingge, Zhang Yuyu became even more excited.

"What happened to Li Qingge?" Zhao An was a little puzzled. This was the question that Zhang Yuyu wanted to ask him? Why does it seem like he was asking about gossip?

"What's his relationship with you?"

"Not bad."

"To what extent?"

"My friend."

"Then does she like you? Or are you courting her? I don't think Li Qingge has ever been so intimate with a man before." Are you going to have another love affair before graduation? " The moment Zhang Yuyu opened her chatterbox, she immediately began to speak in a very fast manner, as if she was speaking her piece.

Zhao An turned his head to look at Zhang Jiaqing. Zhang Jiaqing was clearly surprised too. Zhao An turned around and involuntarily laughed. "Zhang Yuyu, do you think I'm some idol of a celebrity or something? Why are you so eager to hear all these rumors?"

"Of course, don't you know? Right now, a lot of girls are paying attention to you. Furthermore, a girl like Li Qingge is even more eye-catching when she's with you. We had always thought that a girl like Li Qingge wouldn't like any boy. " Zhang Yuyu didn't realize that she seemed to have asked too many questions. She was still immersed in the excitement of being able to ask alone and at close range.

"You should ask Li Qingge about this." In Zhao An's impression, the students in China were not interested in gossip about the famous figures on campus. Everyone was more concerned about themselves, and there was no desire for more attention and discussion towards the hot spots. At most, they could only chat a few sentences, but where would they get so much enthusiasm?

"How dare you ask her? Li Qingge is so powerful. Many of us girls worship her. She even dares to hit Ma Shilong." When she mentioned Li Qingge, Zhang Yuyu showed a bit of excitement.

Zhao An shook his head. It was really hard to respond to such concerns from Zhang Yuyu. Of course, his own emotional issues were very personal. Unless he was a close and caring friend, how could Zhao An casually reveal such personal matters to others?

Zhang Jiaqing couldn't stand it any longer. He wanted Zhang Yuyu to get to know Zhao An, not make Zhang An find her annoying. He hurriedly said, "What are you asking? Can't you ask him other questions, like why is Zhao An so outstanding? How did he cultivate his strong points?"

Zhang Yu Yu Yu came back to her senses and realized that she had been too excited. She mumbled, "Zhao An, why are you so outstanding? How did you cultivate your strong points?"

Hearing her repeat Zhang Jiaquan's words, Zhao An couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Elder Zhang, let's eat first... "Anyway, now that we've gotten to know each other, we'll have the opportunity to interact in the school in the future. We can slowly get to know each other and learn from each other."

"That's right, that's good enough." Zhang Jiaqing had more or less achieved his goal. He thought that as long as Zhao An did not change partners, he would have more opportunities to interact with him in the future.

The Zhang Clan Leader was confident that he could keep Zhao An working together with him. After all, in terms of medicinal herbs, the Eight Mai Hall was definitely the best in the entire province. Even in the entire south, it was one of the best. If Zhao An had a different partner, even if he was offered a higher price, it would still be difficult for him to continuously provide those precious and rare medicinal herbs.

In fact, Zhang Jiaqing really wanted to ask Zhao An what he was going to do after taking the two and a half million. Even if he felt that talking and doing things with Zhao An was like a business partner that made it easy for people to forget his identity and age, after the completion of the deal, Zhang Jiaqing clearly felt that a seventeen year old teenager was carrying such a huge sum of money in his hands.

Even though he made money when he was seventeen, he wasn't seventeen at the time like he was now. Moreover, how much money did he make at that time? However, it was far from comparable to Zhao An's imagination.

The future of the Yangtze River pushed forward, Zhang Jiaqing could not help but sigh.
