Chapter 832: Chapter 339: Life’s Rebellious Spirit

When Li Yang arrived on Xiangnu’s side, he saw that she had prepared a fruit platter and tea in the living room, which looked pretty exquisite.

Generally speaking, Xiangnu is the executive president of a large group and is usually so busy that she definitely doesn’t have the energy to do these things.

For instance, Jiang Banxia never cooks and never even thinks about cooking.

The fruits at home are prepared by others for her to eat, and if no one prepares them, she won’t eat them.

Li Yang was the same. He used to be forced to cook, but he doesn’t even want to touch it now.

After being busy with many things every day, all he wants is to lie down.

"It’s not easy, President Zhao has started learning to plate food."

After sitting down, Li Yang felt something was odd.

Xiangnu said, "Plating is just the basics. Wait till you taste the dishes I made!"

"Okay, okay..."

Li Yang plopped down on the sofa, too lazy to move.

He didn’t even bother to go to the kitchen; he didn’t want to smell the cooking fumes.

Anyway, the fruit would fill him up a bit, and if the food wasn’t good, he’d head to Zheng Dasheng’s restaurant at the first instant.

After about half an hour, Xiangnu came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, carrying a dish in her hands.

Li Yang was shocked.

Although he still didn’t know how the dish would taste, at least it genuinely looked like a dish.

And it looked especially tempting.

He definitely couldn’t make a dish like this. What he makes is just edible; except for the people around him who like it, if he were to sell it, no one would buy it even for three bucks a portion.

"You can really cook?"

"Of course, taste it first? There are a few more dishes coming."

"Okay, okay."

"Hold on a sec, I’ll get you some utensils."

Before long, Xiangnu placed the utensils in front of Li Yang, and he couldn’t wait to take a bite.

Now when Li Yang eats, it’s either at the cafeteria or with people he’s financially linked to and without conflicts.

For this meal from Xiangnu, he could eat with peace of mind.

After tasting a bite, Xiangnu brought out the second dish.

She noticed Li Yang kept staring at her and asked, "What’s up? Not good?"

Li Yang replied, "It just has a bit of a Ruyi Hall taste."

"Haha, you could even tell that?"

"Nonsense, Ruyi Hall’s food isn’t any worse than Dasheng Restaurant’s. I don’t believe a big group president like you has taken up cooking. Even if you knew how before, you wouldn’t master it so precisely after not doing it for so long."

Xiangnu said, "Isn’t it possible for someone to have practiced in advance or even gotten a chef to teach them?"

"You don’t have that talent!"

"Alright, alright, you’ll meet the chef soon! Eat a bit first..."

Saying this, Xiangnu placed the dish down and went to the kitchen.

The third and fourth dishes were brought out by Xiangnu and Liu Ruyi together. When Li Yang saw them, he said, "I told you, no one can replicate Sister Ruyi’s taste."

This simple statement seemed like huge recognition to Liu Ruyi.

Li Yang hadn’t been to the Capital City in over a year.

She came over to Li Yang, half-kneeling to place the dishes on the coffee table and didn’t get up.

Li Yang extended his chopsticks, tasting the new dish: "Sister Ruyi’s culinary skills have improved, it tastes even better now."

"No, it’s just you who appreciates it, they never come to eat at my place on their own accord."

After Liu Ruyi said this, she proactively moved the dishes that were slightly farther away to Li Yang’s side.

When at Ruyi Hall, whenever Li Yang ate alone, she took care of him in the same way, ensuring that any dish was within Li Yang’s easy reach.

This time, instead of at the dining table, they were on the living room’s coffee table, which felt a bit low. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

With Liu Ruyi present, Li Yang didn’t need to change his sitting position frequently, making the entire process very comfortable.

It’s just... Xiangnu was being overlooked.

After a while, Xiangnu muttered, "Sigh, I shouldn’t even be here, should I make room for you two?"

Li Yang said, "You should be content. If it weren’t for me, this meal would cost you over a thousand!"

Xiangnu: "..."

She would be willing to spend even ten million!

After all, she isn’t short of money now.

One meal for ten million, thirty million a day, it adds up to over ten billion a year.

With her uncalculated net worth now, she could still have meals with Li Yang for over a dozen years.

Her net worth mainly includes shares in Wanliu Capital. Initially, Li Yang lent them 30 billion, and afterward, they each cashed out over ten billion and retained half.

Those shares are presently worth 200 billion, with each holding nearly 30 billion.

She didn’t invest in Green Water Group; however, she channeled her funds from Wanliu Capital into Kuai Pai, increasing her shareholding there.

Currently, Kuai Pai’s profit points may be few, but it’s definitely a top-market player, with a market capitalism valuation of 100 billion US Dollars.

Including a 5% incentive, she holds 7% of Kuai Pai shares, this is also worth several billion.

Next up is Moyu, currently in the IPO stage with a market value approximating over 20 billion, she holds a major portion.

A purely live streaming platform is just like this, it’s actually thanks to the linkage with Kuai Pai, that during Moyu live streams, the Kuai Pai streaming endpoint is also opened, allowing both to stream together.

Without this, Moyu’s market value would be lower.

...

Li Yang this guy, why is he so sweet-talking, look at Liu Ruyi, she’s almost giddy with happiness like a little handmaiden, with a face full of bliss.

Moreover, why has this guy never spoken to me this way?

Throughout the meal, Liu Ruyi didn’t eat a bite, yet she seemed utterly content.
