Chapter 141 Cooperation
Six pm.

Zhao Wanlin drove his sports car and took Yang Xiao to a beautifully decorated Japanese restaurant.

There is a pine tree planted at the entrance. After entering the door, there is a cobblestone path. In the middle of the path is a small wooden bridge for resting. There is a pond under the bridge with ornamental fish in it. It has a Japanese style.

"This is an omakase restaurant. I made a reservation a week in advance. The owner only opens the restaurant three or four hours a day, and the menu is different every day."

"Omakase?"

"Teacher Yang, this is the most expensive Japanese restaurant in Lincheng. The average cost per person is one thousand, and the chef is also a typical ordinary person."

Yang Xiao curled his lips, indicating that he was not very interested.

Although Lincheng is a provincial capital, the food here is not really that high-end. Even the authenticity and freshness of the ingredients are a question mark in Yang Xiao's mind.

It's probably a gimmick restaurant.

Moreover, he had eaten this thing in his previous life.

It’s a bit like opening a blind box.

We do not accept customization from customers. Customers will eat whatever the chef prepares that day.

Is it equivalent to consumers having to look at the chef’s mood?
What about playing?
Even if you pay him a thousand dollars to eat this, he won't do it even if you kill him!

However, this luxurious decoration environment, coupled with the atmospheric lighting, creates a bohemian atmosphere.

Generally, this kind of restaurant is best for dining with a date.

It is suitable for bringing girls on a date to increase the probability of winning.

No matter it was before or now.

In fact, when you go out to eat with girls, most girls don’t care whether the food is good or not. As long as the dining environment is good, high-end and luxurious, it is a plus.

Yang Xiao didn't understand why Zhao Wanlin brought him here.

The price is not cheap, and the high-end situation is just so-so.
But it's not very business-oriented.

Is it because he plays with women too much? Is he used to it?
In fact, Yang Xiao really misunderstood Zhao Wanlin.

Because he is really a Japanese food lover, and the hospitality standard of one thousand yuan per person, at the moment, he still gave Yang Xiao enough sincerity and respect.

Scallops garnished with crab meat and caviar, steamed egg with raw tendons and seaweed, tuna sashimi, and wagyu sukiyaki with black truffle shreds.
Each exquisite dish was served in two portions on small porcelain plates and brought to them.

Zhao Wanlin seemed to enjoy every dish he ate, as if he was carefully savoring the delicious ingredients.

Yang Xiao felt that the taste was indeed not bad.

But the quantity is too damn small.

He basically just spoke one at a time.

Even after finishing the meal, I still felt hungry!
Yang Xiao blinked his lips, feeling a little unsatisfied, and said, "The dishes are indeed quite exquisite and diverse."

But I was complaining in my heart.

Damn, who are we going to feed with so little? Foreigners think we can’t afford it! This life is so stingy!
Zhao Wanlin didn't understand his implication and nodded with a smile: "Although the taste is not as authentic as the one I had in Xiaorizi Country, it's barely acceptable."

It took about an hour to finish the entire Omakase Japanese meal.

Throughout the whole process, Zhao Wanlin was chatting with Yang Xiao and never mentioned the so-called business matters.

Yang Xiao also kept his composure.

Zhao Wanlin didn't mention it, and he didn't ask.

Anyway, someone is treating him to a free meal, a big one at that, so he can just enjoy it slowly.

Yang Xiao’s material desires are not that strong nowadays.

Normally he really doesn't have the time to eat these dishes.

After meal.

Zhao Wanlin suggested: "Let's go find a bar and have a drink?"

"Okay, let's choose a quieter place."

"There happens to be one nearby. By the way, it won't affect your schooling, right?"

Yang Xiao smiled and said, "It shouldn't be a big deal to miss one evening study session. After all, my grades should still be able to keep up." "Hahaha, Teacher Yang, you're really funny."

Zhao Wanlin found it funny when he thought of Yang Xiao coming out of school with a serious look on his face.

A young man who speaks and acts very calmly and has made great achievements on the Internet, is actually a student who has to rush to get up after six in the morning to go to class.

When he heard Han Yang talk about it, he was already a little shocked.

But seeing it with my own eyes now, it was a different feeling, a strong sense of separation.

Zhao Wanlin stared at Yang Xiao and asked, "Actually, I'm very curious. You can just drop out of school and run your company at home. You can already make more money on the Internet than an average person can make in their entire life. Why do you still have to go to school so hard?"

"Indeed, as you said, going to school did hinder my career a bit."

Yang Xiao had a calm smile on his face, "But these things are far less important than my life."

"I can earn money anytime, but youth comes only once, and you can never buy it back."

"You know what? As an adult entering society, when I walk along the forest path in school again, the smell of soil and flowers is completely different from when I was a student. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Zhao Wanlin was silent for a moment, appearing to be thinking about something.

"There was an uncle pushing a cart selling snacks at the entrance of the middle school I attended. I loved eating them when I was in school. But later, every time I went back to Yanjing, I would buy one when I passed by, but I found it so unpalatable. However, there are still many students who like it. Maybe this is the feeling you are talking about?"

He smiled slightly wistfully, "Maybe the taste has never changed, but people have changed without realizing it."

"Teacher Yang, every time I chat with you, I always feel like you are my peer, or even wiser than most of my peers."

"Wise?"

Yang Xiao waved his hand, "You can say I'm smart, you can say I'm mature, but please don't say I'm wise."

"why?"

"Well, because you are the wise one."

"Haha, each other."

Yang Xiao didn't say anything more. It was not a good idea to explain to him at this time.

After all, this word has become a derogatory term used to mock people on the Internet in a few years.

Come to the bar.

Zhao Wanlin ordered a glass of vodka, while Yang Xiao just ordered a mixed cocktail.

"Teacher Yang, you don't seem to be curious at all. What is it that I want to talk to you about?"

"Haha, there are delicious food and drinks, why should I be in a hurry?"

Yang Xiao gestured to the wine glass on the table: "Besides, I currently only have a media company and a Weibo account with a few fans. Apart from that, what else can make Mr. Zhao think about it?"

Zhao Wanlin smiled and stopped hiding his true feelings: "Then I'll get straight to the point. I want to invest in your Time Culture Media Company."

Yang Xiao was a little surprised.

"Oh? I thought you were still thinking about my Weibo account."

"Haha, you can't afford that account. You dared to ask for 30 million when you only had 1 million fans before. Now your fans are about to break through 3 million, which is double the previous time. I dare not imagine how high the price you have to ask for!"

Although the number of netizens is increasing rapidly!
But in less than half a year, Yang Xiao's fans have grown explosively.

The number of Weibo followers has more than doubled compared to last year’s National Day!
Even Zhao Wanlin was very surprised!
He is always paying attention to Yang Xiao's movements.

I also saw some bloggers that Yang Xiao helped promote some time ago.

He also has a keen eye for the Internet.

It can be seen that Yang Xiao intends to make layouts in multiple fields and control the discourse power of traffic.

This is a big game of chess!
"Since your company currently uses the Time Account as its IP to conduct business, then if I directly invest in your company, we can also have business cooperation. Isn't it more convenient?"

"Haha, but I'm not short of money right now, and I don't need a partner. It's also good to develop slowly."

"Are you really not short of money?"

Zhao Wanlin smiled playfully, "I don't think so. Just to produce the content, do you have professionals to do it?"
