Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Like a Hot Potato

A group of people left the fire brigade early to go eat, as the restaurant was not far and there was no need to drive.

Lu Jing had booked a bullfrog fish head hotpot restaurant that ranked in the top three on Dianping. The restaurant was located on the street next to the fire brigade and had two floors, with roughly thirty to forty tables on the first floor.

The second floor had a hall with about a dozen tables and some private rooms next to it.

Since they booked a bit late, the private rooms were all gone, and they had to eat in the main hall.

Everyone was fine with this.

Because they had Lai Xingchen, the wait staff thoughtfully found them a quiet spot where customers hardly passed by.

After seating, the girls, including Xiao Tang, were still a bit nervous.

It couldn’t be helped; just by sitting there, Doctor Lu gave off a vibe that could make one’s legs go weak.

But actually, Jiang Ye was really holding back.

The few young ladies had never seen Jiang Ye with his full aura on display. The guys in the brigade would be so frightened that their hair stood on end, and they dared not even breathe loudly.

The food was served quickly, and the broth was brought out almost immediately.

The side dishes that came with Lu Jing’s reservation were also served at the same time.

However, those side dishes surely wouldn’t be enough.

"Take a look at what you like, and order anything you want without being shy," Lu Jing said with a smile.

Xiao Tang and the others laughed even more:

"Okay, then we won’t be shy!"

"Don’t let us eat you out of house and home!"

Eat him out of house and home?

That might be a bit difficult.

Not just you few, even if all the medical staff from the hospital came, they wouldn’t dent even one ten-thousandth of what’s in Doctor Lu’s wallet.

Not to mention, Captain Jiang was there too.

Adding up the private fortunes of these two men was no small sum.

Think back to the time when Captain Jiang, to cancel all of Gu Xiyue’s endorsements with Jiang Group, had nonchalantly shelled out several billion.

Tsk tsk.

Forget it, better not scare everyone.

"Eat as much as you like; at most, it’ll cost a month’s salary for this meal."

Pfft~

That’s really unnecessary.

Is that much really needed?

As the head doctor in a highly lucrative orthopedic department, Lu Jing’s monthly salary was at least in the five-figure range.

Just how much can you spend on one hotpot meal?

Everyone stopped being overly polite, and just ordered whatever they wanted, as long as it wasn’t wasteful.

When the menu reached Xiao Tang, she unintentionally leaned close to Lai Xingchen, who was sitting next to her, and they pointed at the menu together.

Lu Jing saw this but did not say anything; instead, he gave a kick to the man sitting next to him.

Jiang Ye, who was looking at his phone, unexpectedly got kicked and instantly looked up, seeing the woman signaling with her eyes towards the opposite side.

The next second, he followed her gaze.

Immediately, he laughed.

Then he leaned in close and teased softly,

"Looks like young love is in bloom. Jealous, are you?"

Hiss!

Get lost; who’s jealous?

Which eye saw me being jealous?

Lu Jing pushed the man away with a hand and even curled his lips.

What do you know?

The fun of watching the drama, get it?

Forget it, a wooden block like him definitely wouldn’t understand.

At this point, not only Lu Jing and Jiang Ye could see, but Nurse Xiao Zhu and Doctor Zhang also noticed, exchanged looks, and both saw the meaning in each other’s eyes, then exchanged knowing smiles.

So that’s what it was!

...

In the end, Xiao Tang still sensed something:

"Ahem, I’ve finished ordering."

As she spoke, she quickly tossed the menu she was holding.

It was as if it was a hot potato.
