Chapter 144 - Did you just wink? (2/2)
DX smiled and caressed her head, "Then go. I'll be there with you."
She scowled, "I can't bring you along! How am I supposed to introduce you?"
"How about my new boyfriend, or future...,"
He winked at her before grinning, "...husband?"
When she saw what he did, she giggled.
"Did you just wink? Are you really the President Du that I know?"
DX shrugged, "Han Ye said girls like that."
Chuckling, she said, "I supposed but don't do it to anyone else. It's mine and only mine."
DX laughed at her possessiveness.
Before they head to the restaurant, they went to get something for her grandmother. After all, it was DX's first meeting with her father's side of the family.
….
When they were at the hotel, DX told Kai Xin to go in with the souvenirs first when he received a missed call from Han Ye.
After she went into the restaurant, he went to meet Han Ye at one of the hotel's room to retrieve a little gift that he intends to gift to Kai Xin's grandmother.
Once he was done, he met up with the management of the restaurant to ask about the order for the Zhen's party tonight.
Realizing that most of the food ordered today contained things that Kai Xin either disliked or cannot eat, DX told the manager to change all of the order.
Knowing that Kai Xin was unable to stomach food that is heavily ladened with salt and oil, he told the manager to reduce the oil and salt used.
The manager took down notes as DX gave him the instructions.
"The layer of fats in the soup should be removed before serving. Instead of fried eggs with onions, serve them steamed eggs and for dessert, there should be at least two double boiled bird's nest cooked in pear. I'll let you know who to serve the dessert to later. Everyone else can have whatever they want."
"The crabs, sir? Do you want the shell to be removed?" asked the manager.
"That's my job," said DX with an icy tone.
When he was talking to the manager, he reverted back to his President Du's mode.
With his naturally commanding tone, he brought chills to the inexperienced young manager who merely nodded in agreement.
Before he left, DX glared at him as he added, "My presence here today is to be a secret. If anyone found out…"
He left before he finished his sentence. Then again, he does not have to finish for the manager to know what are the consequences.
The manager nodded, "I know what to do, President Du."
As he watched the receding back of one of the most fearsome men in the country, the manager thought about the kind of woman who he was protecting.
She must be a real beauty and probably someone who is very elegant and well-mannered.
A lady from a rich household perhaps?
Curious, he decided to join the waiters in serving them later.
