Part 2 Hello, Mr. Major General I'm Gu Nianzi

280. Sultry eyes!

They got into Yin Shixiong's car and headed to a restaurant. This was the most expensive restaurant within 50 miles and the parking lot was full with luxury cars. Yin Shixiong's second hand SUV stuck out like a sore thumb. Mei Xiawen was a little embarrassed and regretted not taking his car, which looked nicer than the SUV. Gu Nianzhi didn't feel uncomfortable at all and happily got out of the car. She took Yin Shixiong's arm with one hand and Mei Xiawen's with the other, the three of them laughing as they entered the restaurant. However, they were surprised to find the restaurant was full with people waiting.
Gu Nianzhi asked Yin Shixiong in shock, "Brother Xiong, didn't you make a reservation?"
"I did make one." Yin Shixiong went over to ask and smiled wryly when he returned, "Looks like a reservation can't guarantee a time slot. We still have to wait for the people inside to finish before we can go in." No restaurant could limit customers to dine for only one hour. If a customer ordered lots, it wouldn't make sense to turn away business. They had no choice but to sit in the lobby to wait with the others.
Yin Shixiong had his phone and played a game as he leaned on the bench by the wall. Gu Nianzhi and Mei Xiawen stood beside a large plant by the door and whispered to each other. They talked about where their classmates ended up after graduation and what was happening in university--they happily chatted and didn't feel bored at all. After nearly a hour, Gu Nianzhi's legs grew sore.
Mei Xiawen took her arm, "Let's find a seat over there."
Gu Nianzhi nodded and followed him. The restaurant door suddenly opened, and two managers and senior manager rushed over to bow at the door, "Welcome, welcome." The senior manager had just been ignoring all the customers waiting in line, but was breaking his back for someone else in a blink of eye. He was extremely courteous and it seemed like an important person was here. Gu Nianzhi pouted and undisguised disdain flashed in her eyes as she turned her head to peek over. She ended up locking her gaze with a pair of cool yet sultry eyes,
Gu Nianzhi's face immediately flushed, even her concealer couldn't mask the colour spreading on her cheeks.
Mei Xiawen turned around too and froze. Standing at the door was a tall and lean man with a handsome face--it was Professor He Zhichu, whom he ran into at C University several times before.
Professor He linked arms with a gorgeous woman. Although she was probably unknown to Americans, Mei Xiawen and Gu Nianzhi knew her face all too well. She was the fastest rising star in the Huaxia Empire as of last, an actress famous for her beauty!
"Z, this way please. We've prepared a special VIP room for you." The smile on the senior manager's face was full of flattery.
Gu Nianzhi thought about how she waited for almost a hour and still had yet to be seated, while He Zhichu breezed in and had the senior managed get a VIP room for him. Hehe, this person was pretentious where ever he went.
Gu Nianzhi turned away and broke eye contact with He Zhichu, pretending she didn't know him.He Zhichu was on a date with an actress, so he probably didn't want to to run into his students. It was best for her to ignore him.
He Zhichu ignored her as well and didn't even look at Mei Xiawen. He took the actress' arm and strode past Gu Nianzhi to follow the senior manager in the VIP room.
Mei Xiawen whispered to Gu Nianzhi, "...Is that really Professor He? I didn't think he was this powerful that he could date an actress of that caliber"
This was an actress who had won international accolades, not some plastic faced Internet famous girl.
"Who knows? It's obvious he's tires of women easily." Gu Nianzhi thought He Zhichu already was in the room and gossiped behind his back. He Zhichu's shimmering, sultry eyes were indeed attractive. She didn't expect to finish her sentence and hear coughing behind them which sounded just like He Zhichu Gu Nianzhi's back went stiff.
"Students, how long have you been waiting?" He Zhichu's cold voice wafted into Gu Nianzhi's ears like icy thread.
