Chapter 344
Chapter 344
At first glance, one could see a tall building in five steps, a pavilion in ten steps. The carved belt-like
long corridor stood quietly. The raised eaves seemed to hug the sky, looking impressive.
It was not an ancient building, but a Chinese restaurant.
As night was coming, big red lanterns on the eaves lit up, surrounded by pine trees. The noise of the
isolated city also isolated the lively and fast-paced city life.
Arya came here for the first time. She looked around carefully. "How do you know this place?"
Xavier took her out of the car and looked at her unfathomably. "Have a guess."
Arya curled her lips. Xavier knew so many people. How could she know it?
The deputy pushed Cullen in with Xavier. The deputy was also attracted by this unique building. "I
didn't expect to see such a place in W City."
Cullen nodded slightly in agreement with the deputy.
Nowadays, people all pursued British or American decoration styles. Few people would be willing to
spend money to build such a beautiful and practical pavilion.
After walking through the corridor and the pavilion, they saw a pavilion not far and a man stood in front
wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a pair of frames on his face.
Arya stared at him closely and then saw his face clearly. "Isn't this Edward?"
Did Edward give up being a doctor and become a restaurant owner?
"Please come in. I've already arranged it." Edward led them into the pavilion. There was a mahogany
round table, surrounded by the mahogany hollow wooden stool.
A huge red lantern hung on the top, and the red tassels swayed gently with the breeze.
Xavier put Arya down. Next to him was a mahogany basin rack. There was a wooden basin made of
mahogany, holding water in it for washing hands before dinner.
Xavier was afraid that it was not easy for Cullen to wash hands and asked someone to bring a basin of
water over.
Cullen waved his hand. "Don't worry about me. Just take care of Arya."
The deputy, who had been with Cullen for a long time, knew his habits very well and took good care of
him.
The smile on Arya's face gradually disappeared. Xavier washed her hands. "What's wrong?"
Arya shook her head. "It's okay."
But seeing that Cullen was too old to move, Arya felt sad that she couldn't take care of him.
The waiter served the first course. Edward acted as a commentator and introduced the specialties.
"Pao Tun (roast suckling pig), one of the eight delicacies in ancient times. First, we should clean the
suckling pig both inside and outside, stuff red dates inside, wrap it with something made of leaves, and
then cover it with wet clay. They just roast it until the clay dries to take out the suckling pig and wipes
the pig skin..."
Arya couldn't listen any longer in case she had no appetite. "Edward, can we eat right now?"
Edward was stunned. "Didn't I explain it well?"
He had prepared this in advance to introduce the dishes to the guests...
"You want your specialty to become a popular dish?" Arya asked.
"Of course, it's a specialty..."
"You've already told me how to cook it, then I can learn to cook, but in that case it won't be a specialty,
right ?" Arya asked.
He should want to run a restaurant by telling others how to cook his specialties?
Maybe it was better for him to work in the laboratory to make contributions to the medical field. It was
not suitable for him to be a restaurant owner.
Edward didn't understand what he had done wrong.
In fact, it was the cook who made those specialties while he just learned it from books but didn't know
how to cook at all.
Edward didn't keep asking and waited for Arya to finish her meal.
Edward was very straightforward and stubborn.
He had to figure out what he wanted to know.
"Xavier, come with me," Cullen said.
Xavier stood up and signaled to Nanny Joy to stay with Arya before leaving the pavilion with Cullen.
"You said that others could also cook this?" Edward pulled over the stool and sat next to Arya.
Arya explained patiently, "Have you heard of business secrets?"
Edward nodded. "I've heard of it. It seems that one will be punished by law if he or she divulges
confidential information about the company."
"Your restaurant should first have its own characteristics. You do well in this aspect, and the dishes are
also good. From the style of the plate to the taste, they are all very good, but your explanation is
unnecessary. You have to keep the mystery of the restaurant and make people want to explore. The
more mysterious your restaurant and dishes are, the more interested your guests will be. And they will
come to eat for the next time to explore more, right?"
Edward didn't seem to understand.
He didn't think it would be so troublesome to open a restaurant.
Arya rubbed his forehead. Edward wasn't stupid, and he was smart, but he wasn't smart in business.
"Look at you, whenever a guest comes, you say it once. After a long time, don't they know how to
cook?"
Edward nodded.
"All the restaurants know how to cook the dishes of your restaurant. Will the guests come to your
restaurant especially? They can eat everywhere. Why do they come to your place?"
Edward understood and nodded.
He couldn't help but sigh, "It's just a restaurant. It's so complicated."
Arya was also confused. He was not good at doing business at all. "Why are you choosing to run a
restaurant?"
Edward smiled and leaned closer to Arya's ear. "Most of the money in this restaurant is from Xavier."
Arya looked at him in confusion. "Why?"
Edward pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Bridget said she didn't like men who are
doctors, so..."
Jasper died. This was a chance for Edward to pursue Bridget who said that she didn't like doctors, so
he wouldn't be a doctor and went into business.
Arya was speechless for a moment.
Edward was such a stupid man.
"Edward, have you ever thought that Bridget said she didn't like doctors because of your character?"
In fact, Edward was very good in many ways. He was devoted, and he liked Bridget all the time, no
matter whether Bridget had married or not. It was just right to describe Edward to be a single-minded
man.
He thought everything in a simple way without any scheming.
However, he was not as active as others. Perhaps it was fair that one would not be good at something
else if he or she had been talented in other aspects.
Like Edward, he got a doctorate in medicine at a very young age, but he was not skilled in
communicating with others.
There were very few people like him nowadays.
Xavier must have liked him for this to help him chase Bridget.
If he were with Bridget, he may treat Bridget well for the rest of his life.
Edward understood what Arya meant.
"Yes, I'm good at business. Everything here is arranged by Xavier who asked someone to design the
building style. I'm just the boss..."
Arya patted him on the shoulder. "Don't be discouraged. There are no competitors now. You should be
happy. I support you."
Edward thought about it, "You're right."
Besides, both Xavier and Arya believed him now.
Arya waved at Nanny Joy and stood up holding her hand, planning to go to the bathroom.
Edward asked, "Do you want to visit it? I'll take you there. I know this place well."
"Go ahead and do your work. I have Nanny Joy here." Arya said.
Edward scratched his head. "Okay."
Arya walked slowly and took a few minutes to reach the bathroom.
Nanny Joy waited outside until she came out and supported her.
On her way back, Arya saw Xavier talking with Cullen at the pond not far away. Obviously, Cullen
called Xavier away on purpose. He had something to say to Xavier, but he didn't want her to know.
Arya let go of Nanny Joy's hand. "I don't know where my phone fell. Help me find it."
So Nanny Joy looked for it somewhere else.
Arya watched Nanny Joy walking towards the pond.
Both Xavier and Cullen had something to do with the thing concerning Mr. Gates.
Mr. Gates also participated in that mission. At that time, Mr. Gates wanted Mr. Jones's life so as to get
promoted. Mr. Gates had decided to kill Mr. Jones by chance.
In the end, Cullen's son had a good relationship with Mr. Jones and went to save him. However, Mr.
Jones escaped, but Cullen's son died.
Cullen and Xavier knew the one who wanted to kill Mr. Jones, but they had no evidence. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Now they had avenged Cullen's son.
He could rest in peace.
"I don't want Arya to know about this. She'd better not know it for the rest of her life..."
