In front of Luke, Emily always felt like she was lacking in intelligence.
This feeling happened not once or twice, but many times, and it has almost become an instinct.
"Okay, stop thinking about it, it's time to eat."
There were seven people, including Luke, making four men and four women. The men had Brazilian barbecue and the women had French cuisine. The atmosphere was quite harmonious, provided they didn't go to see Pauley and Bob.
The two people are simply starving ghosts.
The three barbecue chefs worked non-stop, sweating profusely, but they couldn't keep up with his eating speed.
Especially Bo Lei, a full pot of beef was finished in a blink of an eye, and two boxes of beer were emptied, but his stomach was still the same.
Luke stared in amazement. He was indeed a beast-like superhuman, and his appetite was unparalleled.
The way the two men ate made the ladies in the room very embarrassed. Mira kicked Bo Lei and asked him to pay attention to the occasion, but the latter seemed to have no idea and continued to eat.
There was too much oil on my face, so I picked up the tablecloth to wipe it off and continued eating.
Qiao Xi and Mila's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot, and Emily's face was also full of embarrassment.
It's so embarrassing. I shouldn't have brought Bo Lei here.
Luke waved his hand nonchalantly and said sincerely,
"Bo Lei has such a good appetite, it's enviable."
Mira curled her lips and said, "What's there to envy? The only thing left is eating."
Luke had a different opinion on this and said seriously,
"Eating and drinking are the foundation of life. My grandfather taught me since I was a child that being able to eat is a blessing. The bigger your appetite, the greater your blessing. It's even more remarkable to be able to eat a lot without gaining weight, like Bo Lei. Looking around the world, how many people can achieve this?"
"Even stranger still is his physical condition. He's eaten so much, yet his stomach remains unchanged. This suggests his digestion and absorption rates are far superior to those of ordinary people. Digestion and absorption are related to metabolism. Generally speaking, the faster the metabolism, the shorter the lifespan. But Bo Lei is different. Look at his skin."
Everyone turned their heads curiously and stared at Bo Lei.
"The skin has a subtle glow, less oil and more moisture, and a vibrant energy, like a newborn baby. It's incredible."
Angus curiously pressed on Bo Lei's biceps.
"Don't tell me, it really feels like a baby's skin."
Mira didn't believe it, so she pinched Bo Lei's body and found that there was no greasy feeling, only a light layer of water.
Ellie sat in front of Bo Lei holding a coconut, staring at it carefully with wide eyes, and said in surprise,
"Really? His skin is even smoother than mine. Why is that?"
"This question requires an expert's explanation. If I'm not mistaken, he has a very long lifespan. As long as he has enough food, he will still be young when we grow old."
Luke sighed, "Who wouldn't envy such talent?"
These words not only dispelled the awkward atmosphere, but also drew everyone's attention to Bo Lei. Unfortunately, this wild man who grew up in the mountains only knew how to eat meat and didn't care about the woman's passionate gaze at all.
Emily looked at Luke gratefully, and Luke waved his hand calmly, as if the previous remarks had nothing to do with him. His confident and calm demeanor greatly increased everyone's favor.
This young man is so outstanding.
He is handsome, rich, tasteful, and approachable. He does not have any of the arrogance and domineering attitude of a rich second-generation. Not only does he have high emotional intelligence, but his IQ is also top-notch.
Where did Amy find such a perfect boyfriend!
"It makes me jealous."
Mira thought secretly and pinched Bo Lei hard, but the latter was unaware and continued to eat.
The one-hour dinner passed quickly, and after exchanging phone numbers, everyone went their separate ways.
After telling Emily to be careful, Luke returned to the restaurant where Charlie was waiting.
"Boss, I've already asked someone to buy the sea view villa you wanted.
The 500-acre site, which includes part of the beach and open space, will be expanded tomorrow morning and is expected to be completed by the end of September.
Luke nodded, "How much did it cost."
"Add the two million you paid for the restaurant, and that's exactly $49.8 million." Charlie sighed, his face filled with helplessness. "I just transferred $50 million to my card the day before yesterday, and it was all gone today."
"You can never make money faster than you can spend it."
When Charlie said this, his heart was filled with emotion. He grew up with Luke and they knew each other very well, but he still couldn't understand his young master's financial concepts.
The young master is a genius. He often uses all kinds of unimaginable methods to make money in a short period of time that an ordinary person cannot make in a lifetime, and then he will spend all the money in even more unimaginable ways.
Charlie had seen so many incidents of this kind that he was almost numb.
"Money is meant to be spent."
Luke took off his casual shirt and put on formal clothes. "What's the difference between money that can't be spent and waste paper?"
"By the way, what is Robert doing?"
"He's been in the office and wants to see you."
"How long have you been waiting?"
"Almost four hours, and I didn't even have lunch."
Luke asked with a smile, "Charlie, do you think I should meet him?"
Charlie thought for a while and shook his head.
"That's unnecessary. Alexander Rhodes and the Central Bank employees who threatened us have explained the entire incident in detail. We have sufficient witnesses and evidence, including the on-site video. The contract is invalid. There's no need for Robert to be a tainted witness."
Luke smiled faintly, "Sometimes, not being needed is the most terrifying thing."
…
Four o'clock in the afternoon, Haixing Building.
Luke, dressed in formal attire, sat in a swivel chair, quietly looking at the unshaven Robert Downs.
After a while, he said, "Your current appearance reminds me of the time when we first met."
"At that time, ShowMe had fewer than five million users and hadn't experienced much. It was like a young sapling, and you, on the other hand, were living in a damp room, with your life on the line."
"From the moment we first chatted, you impressed me with your extraordinary financial talent. I was so happy, thinking I'd found someone I could rely on as a helper. Who could have imagined that within half a month, things would turn out like this."
Robert opened his mouth and lowered his head dejectedly.
Luke crossed his legs and said indifferently,
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"I…I…"
Robert's face was filled with sorrow. He fell to his knees on the ground with a thud.
"Boss, please, save my life."
Luke said coldly, "Don't joke around. The police already know about your collusion with Sidney. There's witnesses and evidence. How can I save you? Why should I save you?"
"Don't forget, you betrayed me, not me who abandoned you."
"You must have a way, I know. As long as you are willing to save me, I am willing to do anything. Please, Luke, I can't go to jail. They will beat me to death."
"Please, save my life."
Robert was in tears, huddled on the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.
