C179 I Want to Protect You
This type of caviar was definitely not ordinary. The high-quality caviar was called "Black Gold" because of this characteristic.
Xu Zhihong finally realized that he missed one point, which was that he didn't ask Yang Chen what caviar he was eating.
With an uneasy feeling in his heart, Xu Zhihong smiled and asked Yang Chen, "Mr. Yang, the caviar you ordered looks pretty good."
Yang Chen was stuffing a spoon into his mouth when he took another gulp of red wine. He rolled his tongue in delight and said, "Yes, the caviar of the Caspian Sea is really different. I still have to thank you for your hospitality."
The Great White Sturgeon of the Caspian Sea!?
Xu Zhihong's face immediately darkened. He was on the verge of going berserk …
In the eyes of the most professional Frenchman, who was obsessed with caviar, there are only three kinds of sturgeon eggs in the world that make a good caviar.
The three types of fish are Beluga, Oscietra and Severuga, the most advanced Beluga, which is also known as the Great White Sturgeon. The Great White Sturgeon produces less than 100 new fish a year around the world, and it takes the 60-year-old Beluga to make caviar.
Among them, the Caspian Sea between Russia and Iran produced the most precious giant white sturgeon.
In the market, this kind of caviar could easily reach the value of two thousand dollars per hundred grams!
This also meant that within the China, eating such luxurious food, adding in the various customs duties, storage and transportation fees, the price of each mouthful of food was no different from gold!
"Mr. Yang, you really know how to enjoy life …" If it wasn't for Lin Ruoxi by his side, he would have made Mao Qiu shut the door and secretly become the one who repeatedly provoked him!
Damn it! Brawler! Beast! Xu Zhihong screamed in his heart. It's fine to spend tens of thousands of dollars, but he doesn't care about that much. He's very angry to have to spend money for his enemies!
Yang Chen waved his hand, "Does Director Xu want to have a bite too? There are still a few caviar left in my plate! "
Did he treat caviar like beans?
Xu Zhihong almost vomited a mouthful of blood. He forced a smile and said, "No need, Mr. Yang can keep it for himself." With that, he did not give Yang Chen any more chances to speak and directly waved at the waiter, "Serve the dishes! "Serve the dishes!"
Xu Zhihong had to finish his meal quickly so he could tell Yang Chen to leave. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to hold back and pull out a gun.
Lin Ruoxi, who was on the side, saw that Xu Zhihong had lost his composure, but at the same time, she felt very comfortable inside. After all, what Xu Zhihong did, she had always been extremely against him. Due to the need for work, one can only speak calmly.
Lin Ruoxi vented her resentment and looked at Yang Chen with a slightly calmer expression. She just felt that if Yang Chen could focus all of Xu Zhihong's attention on his work, then she wouldn't have to worry so much about this.
This lunch was eaten extremely quickly. Xu Zhihong was practically impatient to see the two out, and his smile was even uglier than crying.
It was impossible to guard against! It was impossible to guard against! Inadvertently, another tens of thousands of dollars was taken away by this scoundrel!
After they walked out of the hotel, Lin Ruoxi seemed to have been relieved of a great burden, "It's actually very risky for you to do this. Xu Zhihong is not the kind of person who is afraid of trouble. If he really falls out, then things might not be so simple."
"Are you worried about me?" Yang Chen asked.
"I just don't want you to focus on how to deal with those people. Why can't you calm down and learn how to manage them?" Lin Ruoxi corrected herself.
Yang Chen shrugged: "I did some serious work already. No matter what, this collaboration with Changlin is something I went to discuss."
Speaking of this, Lin Ruoxi reminded him, "Next Monday, Lee Muhua will personally lead a team to Zhong Hai to sign the final agreement. When that happens, you will be the main person in charge. Don't be too casual."
"Don't worry, since I've promised you, I will do it well. Where are we going next?"
Lin Ruoxi thought for a moment. "Get on my car. Come with me to another place."
Yang Chen didn't ask Lin Ruoxi where she was going. Thinking about it, wherever she wanted him to go, it was just a place that needed to be shielded.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the bottom floor of Zhonghai's King Building. This building was famous for its high consumption rate. Every floor was either a high-end KTV, conference center, or a high-end clubhouse.
He followed Lin Ruoxi into the building. Yang Chen could see that the staff who were walking around were also beautiful young women in qipao or in suits and ties. Handsome men were very important to their clients.
"In the top floor of the clubhouse, we have a small banquet to entertain the representatives of the big projects. Originally, Qianni was the one who helped me out, but now that I've come out earlier, it's better for me to personally come over to take a look. The reason I asked you to come with me is because I hope that you can come into contact with the elite of these large companies. It might be of some help to you in the future. " Lin Ruoxi explained as she walked, "The signing of the agreement next week will also be held here. I'll help you familiarize yourself with the road ahead."
"Then I'll go in. What's my status if I'm with you?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi paused, pursed her lips and said softly, "As the person in charge of important projects in the company, you don't need to explain the specifics."
Yang Chen already knew this was the answer, so he didn't care too much about it. It would be weird if Lin Ruoxi suddenly announced to the world that he was her husband.
After all, even though their relationship had improved, there were still more obstacles between them.
When they arrived at the clubhouse on the top floor, Yang Chen was a bit shocked because the clubhouse's name was "Maple" again!
This clubhouse was opened by Tang Wan? Yang Chen muttered as he walked in with Lin Ruoxi. They went around a few elegant indoor potted plants and entered the clubhouse's hall.
When they saw Lin Ruoxi enter the hall, many people revealed expressions of pleasant surprise. However, they were all people who had seen the wind and waves in a social gathering, so they did not immediately gather. A few people who were nearby walked up to greet Lin Ruoxi, and after a few words of flattery, they started to talk about business matters.
Yang Chen's appearance did not attract much attention. After a few people greeted him, they all focused on Lin Ruoxi, who rarely appeared in public.
On the other side, Mo Qianni, who had been entertaining the customers for a long time, also noticed Yang Chen entering the venue. On the other side, Mo Qianni, who had already been entertaining the guests for a long time, also noticed Yang Chen entering the venue.
Yang Chen was also enjoying his leisure. Just as he was about to find a secluded spot to sit down and eat some fruits, he saw Tang Wan wearing a red and black dress. She walked out from a small room with a sexy and graceful smile on her face and said, "Mr. Yang, we meet again so soon.
A lot of people knew Tang Wan. After all, Tang Wan had connections in Zhong Hai's territory, and she was a strong woman with a lot of assets. As for her complicated background, it was hard for people to ignore her. So when people found out that she took the initiative to talk to an unfamiliar man, many people began to guess if Yang Chen and Tang Wan had some unspeakable secrets.
Lin Ruoxi, who was secretly paying attention to Yang Chen, frowned slightly when she saw this scene.
Yang Chen finally understood what it meant to be everywhere. He didn't know whether to laugh or to cry as he asked: "Miss Tang, can you tell me how much business you have after all?"
Tang Wan froze for a moment, then chuckled and said, "To be honest, I don't know how many businesses I have, many of which I rarely see once a year, so I have no comment. If Mr. Yang is tired of always seeing me, then Tang Wan should leave immediately. "
"How could that be? Miss Tang wouldn't be so satisfied if she saw that I was bored." Yang Chen also knew that in Tang Wan's eyes, he probably didn't have a good impression of himself.
Tang Wan pursed her lips and smiled, "Mr. Yang, do you remember what you promised me last time?"
Yang Chen thought for a while and said, "Let's eat together?"
"That's right, but Mr. Yang never gave me his contact information until the end. He won't leave again without a word, right?" Tang Wan said with a hint of bitterness.
Yang Chen was a bit embarrassed. He took out his phone with a smile and exchanged numbers with Tang Wan.
When the guests saw this scene, their understanding of Yang Chen immediately went up by several levels.
Mo Qianni, on the other hand, was so angry that she wanted to stomp her feet. This fellow, in front of her and his wife, was actually trying to seduce another woman! Also, when did he suddenly get to that stage of understanding with Tang Wan!?
Lin Ruoxi's eyes became more and more unfriendly. At the same time, they were filled with worry.
As the clubhouse's owner, Tang Wan was only there for a moment. Not long after, she left the banquet hall and gave Yang Chen a meaningful look before she left, reminding him not to forget his promise.
In the evening, after the banquet was over, Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi went back to the car together. The car didn't start and Lin Ruoxi held the steering wheel in silence for a long time before she said, "Yang Chen, don't be like Tang Wan, okay?"
"Which one?" Yang Chen asked curiously.
Lin Ruoxi took a deep breath, looked at the steering wheel, and said unnaturally, "I admit I can't accept you immediately, so although I will feel uncomfortable looking for other women outside, I won't forcefully stop you. Because I didn't pay, so I'm not qualified."
She is not an ordinary woman. You might not know where she came from, but why do you think she is always alone when she is so beautiful? I want you to think about it. Don't treat her like any other woman because she's beautiful. "
Yang Chen smiled, "Darling Ruoxi, you must be thinking too much. Tang Wan and I only have a normal relationship. From what you said, it seems like I've really become a beast that misses women. "
"Yang Chen!" Lin Ruoxi abruptly turned around and stared at him with grave eyes. "Even if I beg you, don't ever come into contact with Tang Wan again. Otherwise …"
"Or what?" Yang Chen asked with a frown. He had never seen Lin Ruoxi care about a woman so much before. She actually used the word "please" to lower her head to his level.
Lin Ruoxi whispered, "Otherwise, if anything happens, it'll be hard for me to protect you …"
Protect me!? Yang Chen was confused, "What do you mean?"
"There are some people behind Tang Wan that I can't afford to offend. Even if I use Yu Lei as my trump card, they might not be my match when facing those people. If it's because of Tang Wan, they want to harm you, I don't know what to do …" "Therefore, I'll just take it that I'm begging you, even if you want to find other women, be it in the company or outside it, I can just turn a blind eye to them. But can you not look for Tang Wan?"
Lin Ruoxi's tone had a hint of pleading in it, but there was a deep worry in it that made Yang Chen stunned.
As a wife, asking her husband to find another woman was already a headache for Yang Chen. This was a relaxed and unrestrained attitude, but wasn't it because he wasn't close enough that he didn't care?
This caused Yang Chen to feel defeated, but at the same time, he was deeply touched when he told Lin Ruoxi that he had to protect himself.
Since young, he had always been the one to protect himself, or others.
In fact, in Yang Chen's world, the people who could protect themselves no longer existed.
Therefore, the moment he married Lin Ruoxi, Yang Chen subconsciously wanted to protect this woman even if she wouldn't admit that he was her husband.
No one had ever said — "I want to protect you!"
But he didn't expect that in Lin Ruoxi's heart, it had always been her wanting to protect him!
In Lin Ruoxi's eyes, Yang Chen had no money and no status, so it didn't matter. In Zhong Hai, he was just a member of the Homecoming Faction. Although the fighting was more fierce, it was difficult to fight against anyone with two fists. Lin Ruoxi had been doing this ever since they met and brought Yang Chen out of the police station.
Lin Ruoxi also solved all kinds of problems for him in the past few days. At the same time, she also urged him to improve his learning. She hoped that Yang Chen could protect her better.
She had never seen Yang Chen's power, nor did Yang Chen intend to show Lin Ruoxi his unusual side. Therefore, they secretly formed a mutual protection situation!
There were three types of love between men and women: passion, friendship, and responsibility. Couples often had a sweet relationship that allowed them to be together, but the only thing that allowed them to grow old together was the word 'responsibility'.
Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi were different. They directly skipped the sweet part, and without any passion, directly switched to responsibility. Both of them wanted to take responsibility for the other!
Looking at Lin Ruoxi's cold and charming eyes which were shining brightly, Yang Chen's heart was surrounded by a ball of warmth. At the same time, he experienced a strong sense of family responsibility. He was a man, he shouldn't let his woman worry so much.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket, and without caring about the car, he slowly lit it for himself and took a drag. Amidst the smoke, Yang Chen calmed his mind and said solemnly: "Ruoxi, I promise you, I will absolutely not let that kind of dangerous situation happen. Furthermore, don't say anything about you protecting me in the future. I swear, there will never be a situation where you can protect me.
"You still won't listen to me, will you?" Lin Ruoxi said dejectedly.
Yang Chen smiled and scratched Lin Ruoxi's smooth face with his finger. "Are you free tonight? Wife, let's go on a date."
