Chapter 103: The Top Restaurant
Heidi was stunned for a good ten seconds.
Suddenly coming to her senses!
She ran to catch up with the increasingly distant pair!
"Mr. Zhang, I… this is…"
Heidi's azure eyes looked at A-Jia, then at Liu Di, somewhat dazed.
A-Jia smiled and said, "This is my classmate, Liu Di, the founder of the Creator company!"
Even with this confirmed information, Heidi still found it hard to believe!
But her mind was racing!
"Mr. Liu… I apologize for not recognizing you earlier…"
Heidi instantly put on a charming smile. "I heard you two are going out for a meal. I've made a reservation at a top French restaurant. Would you two honor me with your presence for lunch?"
At this moment, the assistant, an older woman, hurried over, her face showing an indescribable awkwardness, a bead of cold sweat forming on her forehead.
She forced a calm demeanor and said, "Yes, we've made a reservation at the top French restaurant in the city. The renowned chef, Chef Charles, is personally preparing the meal just to entertain Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liu."
Heidi's voice became softer, enticing, "Indeed, I happened to share an elevator with Mr. Liu and we sat in the same lounge. It seems we're destined to meet."
A-Jia looked at Liu Di with some confusion.
Liu Di scratched his head and smiled, "I think it's better to pass. Mr. Zhang and I have a reservation at a spicy hot pot restaurant!"
"Chef Li Ma has heard that we're going and specifically bought fresh vegetables from the market, all cleaned, to prepare the top Sichuan dishes for us!"
A-Jia covered his mouth and chuckled.
He had already understood Liu Di's intention!
Heidi's face turned from pale to red!
Her mouth twitched slightly!
After saying that, Liu Di and A-Jia turned to leave.
"Uh, Mr. Liu, may I have your contact information?"
Heidi called out from behind, full of expectation!
Liu Di shook his head helplessly, turning his back and said, "Add me on Gemini."
Then, Liu Di waved and left with A-Jia!
Heidi stood there, her expression extremely complex!
And the older assistant woman, she pouted!
With a face of impatience, she said, "A founder? Just a kid, so full of himself! How could he possibly afford to run a company like Creator? There must be a major backer behind him. He's just a figurehead!"
"Even refusing to give face to our Tina, it's better we don't invest! Hmph!"
Heidi's expression grew darker!
Her forehead was clouded with frustration!
"Assistant Kang!"
"Shut your mouth!"
"I told you to be more low-key and amiable, but you wouldn't listen!"
"You keep exposing this sharp-tongued attitude!"
"And now you've offended an important person!"
"I think you're not suitable to be my assistant anymore. Go back to the HR department and get reassigned!"
Heidi finally couldn't bear it and exploded in anger!
The older assistant woman was immediately silenced!
She clenched her teeth but dared not say another word!
At her age and with her appearance.
If she lost this job, finding a decent one would be very difficult!
Heidi, fuming, sat on the sofa.
She tried to calm herself down!
Mr. Liu just asked me to add him on Gemini…
But he didn't give me the information!
Is he playing with me?
But someone of his status wouldn't need to do that!
Liu Di, the founder of Creator…
Suddenly, Heidi had a flash of inspiration.
Her hands trembled as she took out her phone.
She opened the Gemini contact add page.
Tentatively, she entered a string of numbers: 0000001.
Then, an account with almost no extra information appeared.
Only one username—Emperor Three!
Heidi's pupils contracted sharply!
Liu Di, Emperor!
The founder of Creator, Gemini ID 01!
Everything matched!
Liu Di, he is Emperor Three!
The initiator of the million-dollar lottery!
The programmer of Gemini's core code!
The true mastermind behind Gemini!
The mysterious genius of the emerging startup circle!
He didn't even hide his identity from me?
He even gave me his contact information?
Could it be…
Heidi's face turned bright red in an instant!
Her full chest heaving uncontrollably!
At the spicy hot pot restaurant.
Chef Li Ma served two large bowls of spicy hot pot!
She smiled and said, "You two brats, since graduation, you haven't come here to eat! You've both slimmed down!"
Liu Di looked at the kind-hearted Li Ma.
Feeling very peaceful inside!
Back in school, this was the regular dining spot for him and A-Jia!
He loved the enormous portions of spicy hot pot here!
What touched him the most was.
Both he and A-Jia came from modest backgrounds.
Occasionally, when their living expenses were short, they could only order the cheapest vegetables.
But Li Ma always noticed everything.
Quietly adding two large portions of hand-pulled noodles to their dishes!
A-Jia laughed heartily, "Li Ma, we're here now! The hot pot still tastes the same, delicious!"
Li Ma smiled warmly, "That's good to hear. What are you two up to now?"
Liu Di scratched his head and smiled, "We're working in software."
"Oh, you're doing well now!"
Li Ma said with a smile that seemed half-understood, "But I heard programmers work really hard, sitting in front of the computer for hours on end. You two, take care of your neck and back, okay?"
"Okay."
The two recently famous "programmers" in the internet circle, who were admired by many, nodded seriously at Li Ma!
After Li Ma left.
Liu Di and A-Jia looked at the two bowls of hot pot, piled up like small hills.
No top restaurant or flavorless food could compare!
The two wiped their mouths!
Exchanged a knowing smile.
Then, looked at each other seriously!
"The usual rules?"
"Whoever finishes last, cleans up!"
"Deal!"
"3, 2, 1… Go!"
Then.
Food flew, and both were greasy!
Ignoring their appearance, they amazed everyone!
"Liu Di, you freak! Are you a vacuum cleaner?"
"A-Jia, are you a girl? Eating so slowly!"
