Lao Qi was a little uncertain, but Ku Ding's expression didn't seem to be joking.
"What exactly is that shoji? As for the team of people dispatched? Moreover, I haven't heard of Lin City's private medical research institute that has a good security. Is it a bit of a big deal?"
He still asked seriously.
But the Ku Ding put the jade statue he had just seen back, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. It seemed that the jade statue was not genuine, and then he answered Lao Qi.
"Well... don't worry, I won't be overused. I just have an additional condition."
“What conditions?”
"After getting the thing, I helped me burn the institute with a torch."
"Ah? We don't do anything about murder and setting fire."
"Of course, you will decide whether to do this additional condition. I only remind you one thing. In addition to what I want on the third floor of the research institute, there are some very good things. You should be interested. If you want to take those things, you will naturally have to wipe your butts clean. Therefore, a fire is convenient and comfortable. Regardless of whether you set the fire in the end, I will pay the price as long as you want."
The chef said so, and Lao Qi had no reason to refuse. Anyway, he made money and went to Lincheng to take advantage of it. Those guys have nothing to do recently. They have been idle for a while and have to move on.
Even if the two reached an agreement, they agreed to come back three and a half hours later, and after seeing off the Ku Ding, Lao Qi closed the door directly.

"Hey? Sir, didn't you find this stick the day before yesterday? I thought you threw it away. You go to the banquet and get a stick, it's not appropriate!"
As soon as the cook entered the door, he saw Ning Meng wearing a formal suit. He finally went to the waiter like a waiter, but this suit was a little wrinkled, and it seemed that he had been in the box for a long time.
"You talk a lot. If you are interested, go there and go in with me."
"Me? I won't go in. That kind of occasion is not suitable for me."
Ning Meng shook her head repeatedly. He just suddenly wanted to wear this outfit. He wanted him to go to a banquet where he could not let himself go. He might as well dig a ghost grave, or sit in the car and play twenty mobile games.
"Then you drive the car. Next time I find out that you are racing, I will take you back to my hometown."
Sometimes, Ku Ding really doesn't want Ning Meng to drive. Once this guy is left alone, the car will become a top-quality speed vehicle. He is not used to loosening his feet when he steps on the accelerator.
"Yes, yes, yes, you know that you will send me home. Even though you know that I don't want to go back, you always use this to scare me. I'll go to the door and wait first."
Ning Meng complained, turned around to prepare the car, and suddenly remembered something and added.
"By the way, sir, Grandma Meng and the young lady have come back and are dressed very beautifully."
Speaking of beauty, when Ku Ding saw Qiao Rourou again, he was indeed amazed, just like a fresh and lovely lily. Qiao Rourou's water-blue dress was so beautiful that it was suffocating. The shy little face he carried was not picky at all.
It seemed that the chef was a little embarrassed to see it. His beautiful eyes drooped, and a touch of pink color immediately climbed up Qiao Rourou's crystal pink cheeks.
"Yeah, it looks very good."
The chef gave a comment for a long time.
***************
The banquet was held in the only five-star hotel in Jiaqing City. Although Ku Ding's car was not very good, when he and Qiao Rourou walked in with their arms in hand, they still attracted a lot of attention. The appearance and dress of these two people made many people destined to lose their lust tonight.
A few people who knew each other took the initiative to come over to say hello to Ku Ding. These people had received help from Ku Ding before and were very polite to greet him, but most of them did not know Ku Ding, which instead attracted more attention. After all, the people here are all upper-class people from Jiaqing City, and they also interact with each other. When two such attractive men and women come, they will naturally be curious.
This kind of banquet is mostly used to exchange feelings. Many times the organizer will briefly say a few words, point out a topic, and everyone will give a compliment, then eat and drink, and then communicate in private, recommending what should be recommended, going deeper, or finding a secluded place to do something unreasonable.
Qiao Rourou was suddenly not used to being watched by so many people. She didn't dare to leave Ku Ding, so she took Ku Ding's arm and kept moving.
"Master, what are we doing here?"
He asked Ku Ding a low voice, Qiao Rourou held Ku Ding tightly, and she couldn't care that her chest was pressing on Ku Ding's arm. In a strange and multi-person environment, she would be involuntarily nervous. If she wanted to be alone in this environment, she would definitely be more serious than having aphasia, but with Ku Ding beside her, she could at least talk to Ku Ding.
"Catch ghosts."
The answer of Ku Ding was simple and clear. Qiao Rourou didn't know why, but she felt a little excited. She looked around and said that there were at least 180 people here. If it was really a Hundred Ghost Banquet, it would be too exaggerated.
"But there are so many people here. Don't you always look for some dark and gloomy places? For example, the basement, the independent bathroom, etc."
"There are so many things to pay attention to. These days are no longer as simple as previous years. It is not impossible to see ghosts in broad daylight. Since you have become my apprentice, today, Master will teach you how to choose materials from the first step in cooking."
Qiao Rourou was confused in an instant. Isn’t this here to attend the banquet? Why did it turn to cooking and select ingredients? But when he saw the chef looking around, then pointed his finger at the center stage, a man in the costume of the emcee continued.
"There are many cooking methods in this world, but the most are frying, stir-frying, cooking, frying, stewing, stewing, steaming... Most of them are inseparable from oil and water. Appropriate oil can greatly improve the quality of the dish, so choosing the type of oil is crucial. Although vegetable oil is easy to digest, animal oil is more delicious, but it is much worse than ghost oil. That guy is a good refining material."
Qiao Rourou was also smart, and immediately understood that Ku Ding was telling her that the guy was a ghost. But she immediately hesitated and then pinched herself carefully, afraid that she was dreaming or having some imagination.
When she found that the pinching hurt so much, she quickly asked the chef.
"Then...then, Master, that plate of fried water ghost, no, summer memories, are they real?"
Before Ku Ding could answer, a familiar figure walked over from the side and appeared in Ku Ding, to be precise, in front of Qiao Rourou.
The appearance of this person made Qiao Rourou feel dazed all of a sudden.
"Lin...Lin Qihao?"
Qiao Rourou was extremely surprised. She never expected to meet Lin Qihao in this place. This seemed to show that everything was not a fantasy.
"Hey, it turns out that the beauty recognizes me!"
But the words of the person in front of him made Qiao Rourou stop thinking.
——Why, why doesn’t he know me anymore?
