Before the situation could take a turn for the worse, the food that they ordered finally arrived.
Hui Yin's appetite revived at seeing the delicious feast in front of her. They were even steaming a little bit, and looked very pleasing to the eye.
Nian Zhen was busy taking photos of the food, so Hui Yin couldn't immediately dig in. Nian Zhen even arranged them a bit and begged Lu Shen to take a selfie with her, but he absolutely refused.
"Just eat," said Lu Shen, looking irritated.
Hui Yin hid a smile. Childhood friends? How come Nian Zhen didn't seem to know that Lu Shen was easily annoyed by cameras? In her past life, whenever the paparazzi took a photo of Lu Shen without his consent, the newspaper companies that they belonged to quickly became bankrupt.
Nian Zhen pouted. "Brother Shen is so stingy."
Hui Yin made a face, and quickly finished eating the food before she lost her appetite again. As expected of a Michelin 3-star restaurant! Hui Yin thoroughly enjoyed the meal if not the company, and thought that even if Lu Shen was a bastard, it really wasn't all that bad hugging the thickest thigh in the capital.
Nian Zhen was still seething from Hui Yin's jab earlier, so she doubled up her effort in cozying up with Lu Shen.
"Brother Shen, do you want to taste my crab crepes? It's good!"
"Brother Shen, Wang Yong's birthday is coming up soon. We should go together, and choose some amazing gifts for him."
"Look Brother Shen, you have a bit of sauce on your cheek!"
"Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom for a bit," said Hui Yin, and left. She didn't want to be wasteful and throw up the delicious food she had just eaten.
Seeing her going away, Lu Shen's face turned black.
"Brother Shen, there's a movie I—"
"Later," said Lu Shen coldly, and stood up. His dark eyes were icy, and the aura he emitted was so frightening that the other diners that were near to their table unconsciously shivered.
Because it was an upper class restaurant, most people there were wealthy businessmen as well. When they saw that it was Lu Shen, the youngest CEO and Chairman of the largest multinational corporation in the country, they quickly hunched down and nervously crossed their fingers, hoping that his bad temper wouldn't reach them as well.
If he decided to bankrupt them on a whim, it would simply be too easy for him to do so!
Generally in almost all companies, the role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer was not assigned to the same person, since it could create an inherent conflict of interest. But the Lu Corporation specially contained a provision for appointment of the same person just for Lu Shen! Although he was still young, Lu Shen had singlehandedly made the company rise up to unimaginable heights, and proved himself again and again to be a dragon among men.
Because of this, he was then secretly dubbed as the Great Dragon King!
