"Serve the food."
Ye Kai glanced at the head waiter and nodded slightly.
"Okay, Mr. Ye."
The head waiter responded and then whispered instructions to the kitchen to serve the dishes over the walkie-talkie.
Soon, the appetizers were served.
Truffle foie gras with puff pastry bread, spiced beef rolls with black caviar, and pan-fried scallops with mango salsa.
Next, the soups arrived: matsutake mushroom and chicken soup and French lobster bisque.
Nie Xiaolan glanced at the menu. The main dishes were black pepper beef cubes, steamed grouper, herb-roasted lamb chops with rosemary sauce, and truffle cream pasta.
The final dessert was mango leaf mousse and chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream.
Because Ye Kai had given prior notice that there would only be two people dining, the kitchen deliberately reduced the portion size of each dish, aiming to allow the guests to try more and experience the flavors of various dishes.
"How about some red wine?"
During the meal, Ye Kai specifically asked Nie Xiaolan for her opinion.
"Don't we have to drive later?"
"It's wrong to break the law knowingly."
Nie Xiaolan was holding her phone, fiddling with something. Hearing this, she looked up at Ye Kai and asked in surprise.
"There are designated drivers available."
Ye Kai replied, knowing that the other person could drink, so he ordered the waiter to bring a bottle of selected brand red wine.
He didn't ask the waiter to bring him any 82 Lafite, after all, those who know, know.
In places like this, a bottle of red wine costing around two thousand dollars can provide a pretty good experience; there's no need to throw money away and be ripped off.
"I'm really afraid you'll ask for a 82 Lafite as soon as you open your mouth."
After Ye Kai finished talking with the waiter, Nie Xiaolan couldn't help but chuckle and say something.
"I just have a little money, I'm not some stupid rich kid, and my family doesn't have a winery to advertise, why should I put on airs?"
Ye Kai rolled his eyes at her, looking utterly helpless.
He noticed that Nie Xiaolan sat there without any sense of restraint, as if she had long been accustomed to such luxurious dining occasions, which was inconsistent with her status as an ordinary police officer.
Considering Deputy Director Xing Wenli's attitude towards her, which was more like taking care of her own junior, and even arranging for her to be a liaison officer who could contact her at any time, Ye Kai understood that Officer Nie in front of him was most likely a young lady with some status and background.
If it were an ordinary police officer, who would dare to drive a luxury car and run wild on the streets of Beijing?
"Mr. Ye, what you've got is anything but simple."
"Among all the companies in the entire coastal area, there are very few that would allow our Economic Crime Investigation Division to set up a special task force to assist in the pursuit of fugitives."
O
"We lowly police officers, born with a life of hard work, are doing all this work for you, Mr. Ye, for free."
Nie Xiaolan took a bite of the steamed grouper, her eyes slightly narrowed, seemingly enjoying it, while still finding fault with Ye Kai.
"Officer Nie's words make it sound like we don't generate any tax revenue for the local area."
"You are a powerful government department. Since you are supported by the government, you should naturally protect and protect small businesses like ours."
Ye Kai smiled slightly at Nie Xiaolan, then raised his wine glass and clinked it against hers.
Actually, Ye Kai wasn't very interested in whether or not he could catch that swindler Lin Xiaobo.
Although Lin Xiaobo absconded with about 200 million yuan, almost causing Zhou Xiaoli to commit suicide in anger, for Ye Kai, Lin Xiaobo's embezzlement and escape created an opportunity for him to enter Green Energy Core Power, and he gained a new energy company that is expected to reach a market value of trillions of yuan in the future.
If the other party hadn't been shortsighted and insisted on making a quick buck, Ye Kai wouldn't have had this opportunity to not only acquire shares in Green Energy Core Power but also win over Miss Zhou's heart.
By any measure, Ye Kai is the big winner.
Even if Lin Xiaobo is brought back, it will probably not be easy to recover the funds he swindled.
Given their cunning and treacherous nature, they would never spit out what they had already eaten.
Of course, taking this opportunity to establish contact with the Coastal Development Bureau and build good relationships with key personnel like Deputy Director Xing Wenli is not a bad thing for an emerging new energy company.
What's even more remarkable is that the liaison officer assigned to him by Deputy Director Xing is a rare and beautiful policewoman, which makes Ye Kai even happier.
Meeting with Nie Xiaolan occasionally, chatting about work, having a meal together, and enjoying the beauty is a pleasure in life.
For a fleeting moment, Ye Kaishun felt that there must be some special kinship between Deputy Director Xing Wenli and Nie Xiaolan. Otherwise, why would she create such conditions for Nie Xiaolan to get to know him?
Although Ye Kai is currently just a high school graduate who has not yet entered university and his company is still in its early stages, anyone who has come into contact with him and his company will understand that both Ye Kai and his Green Energy Core Power have a very strong future development momentum.
By the time Ye Kai enters Peking University's Guanghua School of Management, and by the time Green Energy Core Power's valuation exceeds 10 billion or even 100 billion, it will be too late to establish contact with him.
Thinking of this, Ye Kai's gaze towards Officer Nie Xiaolan held a new layer of consideration.
The main course had arrived: herb-roasted lamb chops with rosemary sauce. Nie Xiaolan seemed quite interested in meat; although she maintained an elegant demeanor while eating, she was surprisingly quick with her food.
"Officer Nie, are you satisfied with their food?"
Seeing that Nie Xiaolan was eating happily, Ye Kai asked her a question.
"It's alright."
"At least our company cafeteria can't produce this level of quality or arrange it like this."
Nie Xiaolan replied casually as she tore pieces of meat from the lamb chop.
Although they are only responsible for economic crime investigation, they have not missed any of the necessary training.
In training programs that involve high physical exertion, Nie Xiaolan has a high craving for meat, and she has a special physique that allows her to eat whatever she wants without gaining weight.
Although she appears to be a very well-proportioned beauty, she actually has plenty of muscles and can unleash a unique kind of powerful beauty at any time.
However, Nie Xiaolan wasn't very interested in the desserts that followed.
Whether it was the mango leaf mousse or the chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream, Nie Xiaolan didn't touch it at all, and she didn't even reach for the fruit platter that was served later.
"While eating desserts can make you happy, they can easily lower your IQ."
"I haven't eaten desserts much since I was very young, including things like milk tea that are popular now, I almost never touch them."
"If it weren't for the first time having dinner with Chairman Ye, I wouldn't have had a single drop of alcoholic beverage."
Nie Xiaolan looked at Ye Kai, who was eating spaghetti, and explained to him very seriously.
"You are an extremely self-disciplined person."
"I admit I cannot do what you described."
Ye Kai praised her with some admiration.
This is an ironclad rule: when faced with a beautiful woman, no matter what habits she mentions, just praise her.
Doing this way, at least you won't lose out, and there's a good chance you'll win her favor.
"Let's get down to business."
Sure enough, Officer Nie seemed pleased and took the initiative to get to the point for tonight's discussion.
