At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins? Chapter 363: 352, 661 cups

Chapter 363: Chapter 352, 661 cups

The pretty waitress’s gaze had followed Gu Yu without leaving him; seeing him seated, she quickly approached, “Sir, may I ask what you would like to drink? We have a beverage nu here.”

Gu Yu knew he wasn’t here for afternoon tea or to eat, so he casually glanced at the nu, saw water listed, and simply said, “Just a glass of water, please.”

“Are you sure you want VEEN mineral water?”

The waitress nodded softly while confirming with Gu Yu for a second ti.

Gu Yu hesitated for a mont before nodding in agreent.

Though ordering just a glass of water in such a place seed a bit embarrassing, he didn’t care for such superficialities.

“Haha, it seems your taste is quite a bit more sophisticated than mine.”

Old Mr. Chen’s comnt nearly made him choke.

“I just ordered a glass of water; what’s there to talk about taste?” Gu Yu thought the old man was joking with him.

Chen Tian shook his head with a smile, “This is no ordinary water, sixty-six yuan a glass.”

Gu Yu was speechless: “…”

What the heck?

Sixty-six yuan for a glass of water? Might as well go rob soone!

“VEEN mineral water, sixty yuan for 350 milliliters, but it’s not expensive for this place,” said Chen Tian, sipping his own tea.

Taking the opportunity, Gu Yu glanced at the nu and saw that the price of tea was around forty to fifty yuan per cup. No wonder Old Mr. Chen said he had more refined taste.

Water more expensive than tea — does that make sense?

He ntally scoffed a few tis, but there was little change in his expression.

Although he felt the pinch for a sixty-plus yuan glass of water, high expenses were normal for such occasions.

After all, it was Chen Tian who chose the eting place, so the setting was bound to be high-end.

“Enjoy your drink.”

It was the sa waitress, who quickly brought the mineral water Gu Yu had ordered to the table.

Gu Yu picked it up, took a small sip, then gently smacked his lips.

Tasting for three seconds…

Alright, it was almost indistinguishable from ordinary mineral water, only slightly smoother.

Is that it?

He might as well buy Farr’s Punch, at least that’s sweet.

“Miss waitress, could you please step aside? We’re about to have a sowhat private conversation,” said Chen Tian kindly to the waitress standing by.

“Sorry to have disturbed you both,” the waitress quickly understood and excused herself while withdrawing.

Her face flushed with embarrassnt. Why had she been standing next to Gu Yu? Was she anticipating serving him again?

“Alright, let’s talk business.”

Chen Tian looked around; the distance between the booths was sufficiently broad, and wooden dividers ensured that normal conversation wouldn’t be overheard.

Gu Yu set down his glass, “Mm.”

“You said you have overseas travel plans at the end of the month, is it a holiday?” Chen Tian cut to the chase, a touch of puzzlent in his inquiry.

This was too coincidental; just as he was about to ask Gu Yu for help, Gu Yu was planning to go abroad…

But Old Chen held this matter in high regard. If Gu Yu’s travel plans weren’t too important, he wanted to ask him one more ti for help.

“A holiday… not exactly!”

Gu Yu thought it over; he was going on Dai Zhengguo’s invitation to attend a global surgery conference.

Moreover, he was bringing Lin Xinyue with him, and if it weren’t for traveling aboard the Ark dical ship, it might seem no different from a vacation.

Chen Tian’s face showed puzzlent, “What do you an?”

Pressed by Chen Tian, Gu Yu looked at his face and hesitated for a mont before carefully surveying his surroundings, pondering for a few seconds whether he could tell Chen Tian about the matter.

“`

It wasn’t until he saw Chen Tian’s concerned gaze that he chose to divulge so information.

“This ti I’m attending the World Surgical Conference with Professor Dai Zhengguo, and the transportation is official, so it’s not convenient for to help you.”

Gu Yu wasn’t sure if it was possible to disembark from the Ark during the journey, but he felt it probably wasn’t.

After all, the security of the Ark’s itinerary was of great importance, and once on board, it was unlikely that passengers could co and go as they pleased.

Wouldn’t it pose a great security risk to the dical ship if soone leaked the route?

“…, the World Surgical Conference, I understand, it’s the Ark, right?”

After two seconds of silence, Chen Tian said sothing that surprised Gu Yu.

“Uh… You know?”

Gu Yu never expected that Chen Tian would know about the World Surgical Conference, let alone that attending it involved traveling on the Ark dical ship.

Wasn’t this supposed to be a secret? How did Chen Tian find out?

A smile returned to Chen Tian’s face: “Haha, what if I said I had also planned to take the Ark to Kuwait? Would you believe ?”

Hearing Chen Tian’s words, Gu Yu beca even more confused.

Weren’t those boarding the Ark supposed to be either doctors or officially sanctioned personnel? How could Chen Tian also get on board?

But before he could ask, Chen Tian seed to guess what he was thinking and leisurely sipped his tea, saying, “Don’t forget, lad, I’m currently working for the officials. What’s wrong with taking the sa ship on the way?”

Gu Yu finally realized.

How could he have forgotten? The energy plant project was a collaboration between Old Mr. Chen and the higher-ups, one of the nation’s planned endeavors.

If Chen Tian was going abroad for business, it wouldn’t make sense for him to travel alone by plane, making multiple connections, right?

That would be unreasonable.

Since there was a ship heading to Kuwait, then, as Old Mr. Chen said, what’s wrong with taking the sa ship along the way?

“It’s a sha I can’t go. There are many things back ho that I need to arrange, so I’m entrusting you with this task.”

“Isn’t this perfect? You’re going to be on the Ark anyway. When the Ark docks in Kuwait, you can take care of my business along the way.”

The smile on Chen Tian’s face grew deeper, what was this called?

This was what you’d call a fortuitous coincidence. He had been worried there would be no one to handle his affairs, and after all Gu Yu’s troubles, it turned out his route was just right!

Gu Yu didn’t know what to say about the situation.

After going around in circles, he still had to help Chen Tian.

But that was okay; since it was on the way, there was nothing much to discuss.

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as your agreent. According to the officials, the Ark will dock at the port of Kuwait for seven days, which is plenty of ti for you to take care of the factory handover for .”

“I’ve already contacted soone on my end in advance. They’ll et you on the way and ensure your safety,” Chen Tian said, carrying on with his explanation.

Gu Yu listened carefully, noting from Old Mr. Chen’s tone that things seed quite chaotic there, to the point where protection was necessary.

“I’m not alone; Xinyue is also coming with ,” Gu Yu added after Old Mr. Chen finished speaking.

He didn’t really think he needed any protection. With the system at hand, he could transform himself into a special forces soldier in minutes.

It was Lin Xinyue he was more concerned about her safety.

“Eh, you two, this really is like a taxpayer-funded vacation! Haha, no worries, I’ll let them know,” Chen Tian paused for a second, then chuckled at Gu Yu’s words.

Attending a eting and still rembering to bring his girlfriend along, these two really were quite the affectionate couple!

But this also made him more curious about Gu Yu’s identity. The Ark wasn’t sothing anyone could just board; not only could Gu Yu get on himself, but he could also bring his girlfriend along.

His capabilities were indeed considerable!

“No choice, she’s clingy!” Gu Yu replied with a nonchalant smile, rather shalessly.

Lin Xinyue, who was sitting in her office processing bills, suddenly sneezed twice: “Achoo, I’m sure Yu is talking about behind my back!”
