Shen Guofu, who was gnawing on chicken feet, picked up his chopsticks and tried a bite too. He was immediately amazed by the delicious flavor of the beef. "Wow, this flavor is truly delicious!" he exclaimed. "It's the first time I've found beef stir-fried to be even more tender than chicken. Wenjing, you should try it while it's hot too. Beef like this is hard to come by outside."

Dou Wenjing had just finished a piece of pork ribs and thought it tasted really good. No wonder Mr. Shen praised his son-in-law so much. But as for beef... She had relatively large gaps between her teeth, so beef often got stuck. Plus, her gums were particularly sensitive, making it uncomfortable if she didn't pick out the food. Therefore, she was not at all interested in beef, a type of meat with coarse fibers.

But the boss had spoken; it would seem impolite not to try it. So, Dou Wenjing braced herself and picked up a slice of beef. After putting it in her mouth, she expected the usual trouble, but after just a couple of chews, she discovered the meat was so tender it seemed to have no fibers at all.

Isn't this too tender? It felt even more tender than the flame-grilled Wagyu beef she'd had at that Japanese restaurant. It was hard to believe it was stir-fried. Delicious! Absolutely delicious!

She ate several slices in a row, each one more delicious than the last.

To think there was such a fantastic restaurant on Yingchun Street! The next time someone claims Beijing has no good food, I'm bringing them here to experience this... Dou Wenjing mused to herself as she ate.

Every dish on the table was a classic. The silky steamed chicken with black bean sauce, the fresh and springy steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce, and dishes like Ginger Lotus Root—it was a veritable treasure trove of delicacies!

She definitely had to bring friends over the weekend to try this. This is too amazing!

As she continued to eat, the rice in her bowl was nearly gone. Dou Wenjing, who usually ate with restraint, felt like she hadn't had enough. She looked at the others; it seemed everyone else had gotten a second helping. Especially Shen Jiayue, whose rice was piled high in her bowl.

If everyone else is having more and I don't get another bowl, wouldn't I seem unsociable? Mr. Shen might even form a poor opinion of me. Right, I'm getting another bowl not because I'm greedy, but because I don't want Mr. Shen to think poorly of me... Yes, that's it!

She rationalized this to herself and cheerfully got herself another bowl of rice.

Time to dig in again!

"Xu, I'm stuffed again... Your food is incredible, and the rice is delicious too," Shen Jiayue said, slumping into her seat. She was already planning to do three sets of burpees when she got home tonight. I can't keep eating like this; my abs will disappear!

Lin Xu affectionately pinched his Shen Baobao's cheek. "Just sit and rest for a bit. Che and I will take the packed meal boxes to the car; they're already packed anyway."

He and Che carried the packed meal boxes to the car. Just as he was about to head back to the kitchen, Dou Wenjing, who was also stuffed, suddenly asked, "Mr. Lin, could I have your shop's documents? I'll head over to the Administrative Services Center now to ask about the procedure for setting up a company... Oh, right, the company will need a name. What are you planning to call it?"

A company name? He hadn't really considered that yet.

While Lin Xu was pondering this, Shen Jiayue, who was nearby, suddenly had her eyes light up. Ha! When it comes to brainstorming, I'm the one for the job! she thought, then said with a grin, "About the company name, I have a great suggestion..."
