The professional was no longer a university student who had just graduated. When he heard this, he obediently shut up and did not ask further.

Jiang An watched the taxi enter the traffic and turned to look at Zou Bai with an awkward smile.

Zou Bai looked at Jiang An, his eyes slightly gentle. His slightly low voice sounded again. “Miss Jiang?”

The people Jiang An wanted to treat had already left, and she had already informed her family that she wouldn’t be coming home for dinner. Moreover, if she refused to let the other party treat her to a meal, others would think that she was scheming for a greater favor, so she simply agreed. “Alright, I’ll accept it respectfully.”

Zou Bai pointed to the restaurant next door and asked, “Do you want to eat Southeast Asian cuisine or something else?”

Jiang An had come for this. She raised her eyebrows and smiled as she hurriedly replied, “This is close. Let’s go here.”

Seeing Jiang An’s reaction, the hint of a smile flashed across Zou Bai’s eyes.

Jiang An followed Zou Bai into the restaurant and realized that the exterior of the restaurant was already very Southeast Asian. However, when she entered, she realized that the interior was even more unique.

Be it the waiter’s attire or the restaurant’s renovation style, they were all extremely Southeast Asian. The restaurant had even dug ditches to imitate the local boat market. The staff on the boats were also serving customers on the sh.o.r.e as they wished, like in a market. If there were any trinkets or food they wanted, they could communicate directly. The fees were also calculated on the spot like at the market.

The only difference was that the staff were not wearing modern casual clothes, but various local ethnic clothes.

The manager saw Zou Bai enter and personally welcomed him. “Mr. Zou, long time no see. Your private room has been prepared. This way please.”

Jiang An followed Zou Bai to the innermost private room. After ordering, she curiously sized up the private room.

The manager skillfully took out a jar of tea leaves from the mahogany cabinet at the side and revealed a professional smile. “Mr. Zou, this is this year’s Longjing tea from West Lake before the Ming Dynasty. It’s only been here for two weeks.”

Seeing that Zou Bai had no objections to drinking green tea, the manager opened the jar and prepared to make tea.

Zou Bai interrupted him. “You go out first. I’ll do it myself.”

The manager stopped what he was doing and nodded. He bowed slightly. “Alright, 1’11 go out first. Call me if you need anything.”

Seeing the manager’s att.i.tude, Jiang An asked curiously, “Do you come to this restaurant often?”

Zou Bai picked up a small bamboo tea set and started making tea. “1 own this shop.”

Jiang An suddenly thought of Zou Bai’s extravagance every time he appeared. She casually said, “You have quite a lot of businesses.”

Zou Bai did not answer. He poured the brewed tea into a clean teacup and placed it on the gla.s.s turntable on the dining table. He turned it in front of Jiang An. “Have a taste.”

Jiang An picked up her teacup. “Thank you.”

Jiang An took a small sip and her eyes lit up. “Your tea brewing skills are not bad.”

Zou Bai smiled when he heard this. He poured himself a cup and took a small sip.

Soon, all the dishes were served at once.

The waiter helped them each get a bowl of Tom Yum soup and then left.

Jiang An took a sip. It was sour, spicy, fresh, and fragrant. It was the same as what she had eaten locally when she went to film the advertis.e.m.e.nt back then. “This taste is simply a perfect replica!”

Zou Bai looked at Jiang An’s expression and suddenly said, “Your television drama is very good. Even my mother is a fan.”

This topic suddenly changed, causing Jiang An, who was drinking soup, to choke and cough several times.

Zou Bai got up and took out a folded pure black handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Jiang An. He poured her a cup of tea and placed it beside Jiang An’s hand. He said slowly, “Drink a few sips of tea to get it down.”

Jiang An casually took the handkerchief and covered her mouth. She coughed a few more times before stopping. She drank some tea to moisten her throat and recover. “Thank you.”

Zou Bai chuckled. “You’re too excited about praise for your TV drama.”

Jiang An was a little embarra.s.sed. “I just didn’t expect it.”

Jiang An did not expect a rich lady to watch dramas. She could only imagine what she said.

Zou Bai sat back in his seat. “What’s there to not expect? I’ve also watched a bit. The theme is novel in the country. Your taste in scripts is quite good.”

Jiang An touched her nose in embarra.s.sment. Her encounter with An Xin and the others could only be described as a coincidence. However, it was all thanks to Third Brother’s willingness to spend money to prevent the investors from spending money to interfere with the production team’s various work.

Jiang An said humbly, “Everyone’s acting skills are very good. This is also the main reason why people are supporting this drama.”

The two of them chatted about this topic..
