166: Chapter 166 The Hunt Completed!
"Are these also cheese?"
Shen Zhou couldn't help but marvel.
The Waitress nearby introduced it respectfully: "This is a relatively precious local cheese from Switzerland. After heating it to a semi-hardened state, it is finally poured over boiled potatoes."
"It is also served with our local Swiss onions and pickles."
Cheese and potatoes, along with the eternal pickles and onions, are simply the universal combination in Western cuisine.
Next, they served something called Alpine macaroni, which was also paired with potatoes, cheese, and cream, but with the addition of some diced apples.
After eating for a while longer, Xue Shuangshuang covered her mouth and whispered:
"Dear, I feel like Western food is just so-so. Our Chinese cuisine is still more delicious."
Shen Zhou laughed: "That goes without saying. Our five thousand years of Chinese history is not something they can compare to."
"Shuangshuang, then next time when I go to China, you must accompany me to find some good food."
Juliana couldn't help but interject with a smile.
At Andrei's estate, she had also eaten quite a lot of Chinese food.
But regardless, those delicacies probably weren't as authentic as those in China.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but start looking forward to it.
"Of course, Sister Juliana, I will take you to taste every delicious food I've ever eaten."
Xue Shuangshuang's big eyes were shining, and it was unknown what kind of delicacy she had in mind.
Based on Shen Zhou's guess, what appeared in her mind was very likely snail noodles.
After a while longer, the most iconic local dish of Switzerland, Zurich veal, was served.
Juliana, who was nearby, acted as the commentator; she had tasted this dish before.
"Every piece of beef inside is very thin, and the thickest part cannot exceed one millimeter."
"The thickness of the beef determines the culinary skill of the chef who made this dish."
Juliana explained quite formally, and suddenly, a commentator's aura added to her demeanor.
Perhaps this is the versatility of an actress.
"Juliana, I want you to play this role tonight."
Shen Zhou suddenly leaned into her ear and said.
Juliana's face instantly turned bright red.
Xue Shuangshuang, however, was only focused on eating the food and didn't notice the flirting between the two at all.
She used her knife and fork to pick up a piece of slightly pink meat. After tasting it, she felt the flavor was excellent and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Sister Juliana, this meat looks a bit dry, but it tastes very tender. How is that possible?"
"Shuangshuang, this is a special local air-dried meat. The main ingredient is beef, and it also contains some precious spices. It is also paired with white wine when served."
The two women began to have an intense discussion about the food.
Shen Zhou suddenly realized that he had become an outsider again.
"I don't know when these two women became so close."
Shen Zhou couldn't help but shake his head.
After the meal, the total expenditure reached a staggering 20,000 Euros.
When the group just arrived back at Pearl Castle by car, the system's notification sound rang out.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully spending 3 million Euros on Xue Shuangshuang and Juliana. This expenditure is being cashed back.]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving a ten-fold cash back, totaling 30 million Euros.]
"Brother System, this isn't right, how can Juliana have so few suitors?"
Shen Zhou couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.
It's normal for Xue Shuangshuang to have few suitors because this girl has high standards and never gives others a good look.
Gradually, those suitors who just wanted to play around would naturally retreat.
But Juliana is a Hollywood actress, and an A-list one at that.
How could her suitors be so few?
Soon, a stream of information entered Shen Zhou's mind.
It turned out that, according to Brother System, it was precisely because Juliana was too outstanding and her own wealth value was extremely high.
Therefore, there were not even enough people who dared to formally pursue her to count on two hands.
As for other fans or admirers, most of them just expressed this liking outwardly or kept it hidden in their hearts, and they simply didn't have the qualifications to pursue her.
Therefore, they would naturally not be counted by Brother System.
"Fine, fine, so 'simps' don't count as suitors?"
Shen Zhou shook his head slightly.
That night, Juliana successfully played the role of a highly professional commentator.
And Shen Zhou and Xue Shuangshuang played the role of a young couple who hired the commentator.
During the process, Juliana's role switched, becoming a commentator trying to seduce Shen Zhou.
And Xue Shuangshuang played the role of a naive girl, as if she hadn't noticed anything.
But this also successfully facilitated Shen Zhou and Juliana unlocking special spaces, the bathroom and the hallway.
Early the next morning, the two women, exhausted from the night, were still sound asleep.
After a simple workout, Shen Zhou was informed by Vicente that Ms. Wieser was visiting.
Shen Zhou didn't even have time to eat breakfast and took Wieser to the small garden.
"Wieser, how did things go?"
Shen Zhou gently stroked a flower in front of him whose name he couldn't name.
"Mr. Shen, I have fulfilled the mission. I have already found a suitable excuse to dismiss Ms. Maria."
"But if possible, I hope you can explain it to me later. I don't want Maria to hate me forever."
Wieser's eyes were a bit downcast; Shen Zhou could tell that she indeed valued that girl Maria quite a bit.
Even the relationship between the two of them had always been quite good.
"Rest assured, the position I arranged for her will also involve dealing with you in the future."
"The two of you have just changed statuses; your relationship will not drift apart."
A smile appeared on Shen Zhou's face.
Wieser finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief and emphasized:
"When I dismissed Maria, I deliberately used a slightly harsh tone to tell her what kind of destination a financial woman like her should look for."
Speaking of this, a trace of imperceptible sadness even flashed in the depths of Wieser's eyes.
"You did very well. If you encounter trouble in the future, you can also contact Maria directly, or contact me."
Shen Zhou gave another heavy promise.
A somewhat difficult smile appeared on Wieser's face, and soon she said goodbye and left.
Walking on the road, Wieser was muttering to herself.
"Maria, this Mr. Shen is a true billionaire, and he is handsome and young."
"Even if he only has a fleeting romance with you, it is definitely much better than you submitting yourself to those elderly billionaires."
"I hope you won't blame me when you know the truth later."
Walking on the road, Wieser was even a bit dejected.
