Chapter 456: Chapter 355: Husband-Obsessed Maniac
Customers came and went.
The concrete steps at the entrance of Jiang Liu’s shop were worn to bits, revealing the red bricks underneath.
A Yellow Flower Li Stick jabbed down, crushing what little concrete remained.
"Hey, Elder Ge, please slow down! Let me help you up!"
Yang Zhengwu, like a fawning lapdog, supported a doddering old man.
The old man’s face was covered in age spots.
"So this is the best restaurant in the world you were talking about?"
His voice was hoarse and weak.
"That’s right, Elder Ge! Don’t you worry, the buns here will absolutely blow you away. It’s a shame there’s probably no other food left right now, but Boss Jiang can make a lot of other amazing dishes!"
Yang Zhengwu said this, bowing as he helped Zhu Getting into the shop.
He settled the old man into a seat.
Yang Zhengwu hurried over to place an order. "Boss Jiang, we’ll have thirty buns, please. A mix of all the fillings. And two bottles of beer."
"Mm, alright," Jiang Liu nodded faintly.
Yang Zhengwu hesitated for a moment.
He spoke with a pleading tone, "Boss Jiang, I brought an elder of mine to eat today. Could you possibly make some yak bone soup for me?"
He pleaded with his hands clasped together.
Jiang Liu was taken aback for a second, then nodded. "I can do that."
"Thank you for the trouble!"
Yang Zhengwu scurried back to Zhu Getting’s side like a lapdog.
The room suddenly grew a little quiet.
A few of the older bosses in the room looked both shocked and excited.
All because this old man was a famous real estate tycoon in Jing City!
In 2008, he had even ranked 18th on the global Forbes Rich List!
His wealth was terrifyingly immense.
He was known as one of the Four Richest Men of Jing City.
One could say this old man’s life story could easily be written into a magnificent epic!
Likewise,
this old man was worldly and experienced, and he was also extremely picky when it came to food.
To an infuriating degree, even.
It was all because Zhu Getting’s sense of taste was naturally sharp.
If he said something was good, then it was truly good!
He was even known as the ultimate measuring stick of the culinary world!
"Do you guys think Boss Jiang’s food can impress Elder Ge?"
"Is that even a question? Easily."
"Tsk, tsk, I’m not so sure. This guy is notoriously difficult."
"We’re in for a good show. Shh, keep it down, he has a terrible temper!"
Some of the bosses in the shop were bubbling with excitement.
To be able to sit in the same room with such a figure was an honor!
’A character like this would probably only ever show up at Boss Jiang’s place.’
Just then, the old man suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse. "Little Boss Jiang, is it?"
"Uh, yes. Hello."
Jiang Liu replied politely.
Zhu Getting maintained his cold expression, but inwardly he sighed. ’It’s great to be young. Ignorant and fearless.’
He then continued, speaking slowly:
"Little Boss Jiang, let’s get acquainted. My name is Zhu Getting. I’ve heard your food is the best in the world, so I made a special trip today to taste it."
"Alright. But, Uncle Zhu, we only have buns and juice left for lunch today. Everything else is sold out. I’m sorry."
Jiang Liu noticed everyone looking at him with a hint of worry and realized the person he was speaking to was no ordinary man.
"Hmm..."
Zhu Getting gave a casual nod.
His face was expressionless.
The old man was like an Antarctic iceberg that would never melt.
The room grew even quieter.
The regular customers, not knowing what was going on, were also affected by the atmosphere. They stopped talking and focused on eating their food.
Yang Zhengwu secretly ran to the counter and whispered a reminder:
"Boss Jiang, this old man is a big shot. His temper is unpredictable, and he’s extremely picky about food. You’d better be careful!"
Zhu Getting said coldly, "This old man’s ears aren’t deaf yet. If you have something to say, say it. No need to do it behind my back."
Yang Zhengwu jumped in fright.
"Yes, Elder Ge!"
This man had enough power to destroy his company with a single word.
He had to serve him with the utmost care.
Never mind that Yang Zhengwu was an influential figure in Jing City; in front of a truly powerful man with connections reaching the heavens, he was just a fledgling.
When he was still playing in the mud, the other man had already become one of the Ten Scions of Jing City.
The difference in their levels was just too great!
Some of the bosses in the room had already taken their food and slipped away.
A clueless, burly boss from Jing City, who was still waiting in line, got excited and hurried inside.
Huh?
’Zhu Getting? When did he get here!?’
HISS!
’It’s a little cold in this room...’
Jun Qingmeng finished her work in the kitchen and walked out.
As soon as she came out, she noticed the atmosphere was off. Everyone was quiet, except for her own husband, who was still working his tail off.
"Honey, what’s wrong?"
Jun Qingmeng didn’t lower her voice, asking in confusion.
"It’s nothing. An elder just arrived."
Jiang Liu gestured toward Zhu Getting with his eyes.
’An elder?’
Jun Qingmeng raised an eyebrow. She followed his gaze and was a little surprised when she saw who it was.
It just so happened that she knew this old man.
Jun Qingmeng’s cool, clear voice spoke up. "Are you Mr. Zhu Getting?"
When Zhu Getting was just starting to make his fortune, his friends all liked to call him Mr. Zhu.
Zhu Getting lifted his eyelids, a look of surprise in his cloudy eyes. "Little girl, you know me?"
Hearing this form of address again sent ripples through Zhu Getting’s calm heart.
Jun Qingmeng nodded faintly, her expression unchanging.
One was just as cold as the other.
"Yes, I do. My grandfather mentioned you to me before."
"Your grandfather?" Zhu Getting’s interest was piqued. "And he is?"
"Jun Youshan."
’Brother Jun?’... Zhu Getting was startled and almost stood up, but then he realized she was just Brother Jun’s junior. ’As an elder, what’s there for me to panic about?’
"So you’re Brother Jun’s granddaughter... It’s been thirteen years since Brother Jun passed away. Even now, I still often recall what he looked like."
Zhu Getting’s voice was soft, betraying no emotion.
Jun Qingmeng connected this to the atmosphere in the room and subconsciously concluded that this old man must have been bullying her precious husband.
She was the first to go on the offensive. "Elder Zhu, it’s alright if I call you that, isn’t it?"
"Mm... you may."
Zhu Getting would have preferred her to call him Grandpa, but he couldn’t bring himself to ask.
He rubbed the Yellow Flower Li Stick in his hands.
Jun Qingmeng said coldly, "I know you’re a picky eater, Elder Zhu, and that you have a temper. But I hope you’ll be a little more polite to my husband today!"
She said it very seriously, as if she were stating a simple fact.
She was, after all, a woman who doted madly on her husband.
Was it not perfectly normal that she couldn’t stand to see him get told off?
No one was allowed to bully her husband but her!
Although Jun Qingmeng’s words remained polite and didn’t cross any lines, they still startled everyone present.
’Damn, what’s the background of this little girl? To dare speak to Zhu Getting like that, she’s got some serious balls!’
Yang Zhengwu was dumbfounded.
’Holy cow, Jun Xinghe’s daughter is this fierce?’
’666!’
In the corner, Yang Tuoyang and the other schoolgirls looked on with adoration.
"Sister Jun’s cool, mature voice, combined with her serious expression while protecting her husband... she’s so cool, ahhh!"
"This is such sweet fluff."
’One taste and I’m already full!’
The aunties turned to glare at Zhu Getting with unfriendly eyes.
They didn’t care what this old geezer’s status was. If he dared to cause trouble in Boss Jiang’s shop today, they’d rip his underwear right off!
Zhu Getting froze for a moment.
