"Master Gu, this is bad. That... that..." A waiter ran into the Gu Family Hotel's kitchen and shouted, "Zhou Huaming is coming over to our restaurant for a meal!"

Master Gu turned the wok and scooped out the stir-fried cabbage. He said indifferently, "Why fuss? This is not his first time here anyway."

The last time Zhou Huaming was here, he was in disguise. He wore a low-brimmed hat and a pair of sunglasses. He dressed himself up as a celebrity. But did he think the Gu Family wouldn't recognize him?

Gu Ziye and Gu Rufeng were very familiar with their competitors. They would recognize them anywhere. Gu Rufeng directly walked to the man's table. "CEO Zhou, you should have informed us when you decide to frequent us. Ziye could have arranged a private booth for you. I just wonder why the general manager of the Yi Family Hotel would come to our restaurant? Have the food at the Yi Family Hotel gotten so bad?"

Gu Rufeng's previous disappointment was swept away. When his competitor came to their hotel in disguise, his mood soared. If he didn't take this chance to ridicule Zhou Huaming, he wouldn't sleep at night.

At the time, when the nearby customers heard the CEO of the Yi Family Hotel was there, their eyes widened, and they stared at Zhou Huaming with curiosity. Some of their eyes even flashed with a strange look.

Was Zhou Huaming there was a simple meal or to test out the enemy's food? Regardless, it was ashamed to be caught red-handed.

Zhuo Huaming was thick-skinned too. He said disdainfully. "I don't get why people flock here when the food is so bad." Then, he stood up and left.

When Gu Rufeng heard that Zhou Huaming had returned, he even lost interest to meet the man anymore. The waiter said, "But Zhou Huaming has invited someone this time. That someone is President Gu's friend."

Gu Rufeng was interested. "Ye 'Er's friend? Who is it?"

"The one we mistook as President Gu's girlfriend!" The waiter said. Gu Rufeng's face shifted. He dropped the ladle and rushed out. He needed to confirm this.

He had mistaken Xiao Lingyu as Gu Ziye's girlfriend last time, but he did find out Xiao Lingyu was the new supplier of their hotel. Now their competition was having a meal with their new supplier? This was not good. He stood on the second floor and looked down. Zhou Huaming was indeed dining with a young woman. Gu Rufeng hadn't seen Xiao Lingyu before, but the waiter had. So it was unlikely he made a mistake. He frowned and walked to the corner to make a call.

"Where are you?" Gu Rufeng demanded angrily, "Get back now! Your girlfriend is dining with Zhou Huaming!"

Gu Ziye was swimming with his three friends. When he heard his third uncle say his girlfriend was dining with Zhou Huaming, his first reaction was to say that he didn't have a girlfriend. But then, everything clicked.

The last time Xiao Lingyu came to his hotel, his third uncle mistook her for his girlfriend. So that meant...

He shivered and immediately rushed off.

Zheng Haiyang asked in confusion, "Ye, what happened?"

Gu Ziye wiped the water off his body with a white towel and said, "Third uncle just called. He said that Xiao Lingyu is having a meal with Zhou Huaming."

"What?" The three of them were shocked. "Xiao Lingyu is dining with Zhou Huaming? What's going on?"

"I don't know either," Gu Ziye said in confusion. "So, I need to go back to take a look!"
