It turned out that Calista knew everything!
"Elijah has been chasing me for many years. Over the years, he has been very hostile to any young man near me." Calista explained, "However, he doesn't know that his behaviour will only make me hate him even more.”
Looking at the undisguised disgust on Calista's face, George knew that Calista really hated Elijah's actions and must have told the latter about it, but to no avail.
George mentally mourned for Elijah for a second. This guy was obviously too possessive. He treated Calista as a personal belonging and did not allow anyone of the opposite sex to approach her. Even if they were potential threats, he would be hostile and eradicate them. However, this approach did not win Calista's favour, but disgusted her instead.
Of course, George also understood that he was basically caught in the crossfire.
"So, I should be apologizing to you for getting you involved." Calista looked at George and said.
"It's okay, I won't take it to heart." George said.
Calista thought that George was being kind and was trying to comfort her. However, George really did not take Elijah's matter to heart. He wasn't going to stay in school all the time, and he would not be too close to Elijah and Calista. Hence, he naturally didn't want to care too much about the bullshit happening either.
Kelmen wasn't far from Jiangzhou University. About ten minutes later, George and Calista also arrived at the entrance. At this time, Elijah and the others had already arrived, but they were waiting at the door.
Of course they were not waiting for George, but rather Calista!
Sure enough, when he saw Calista's car arriving, Elijah hurriedly greeted her with a smile on his face.
However, when he saw George getting out of the passenger seat of Calista's car, the smile on Elijah's face suddenly froze, and was replaced by a dark look.
"Why are you in Calista's car?" Elijah asked George.
"I asked him to ride with me." Calista got out of the car and looked at Elijah.
"Calista, how could you give him a ride?" Elijah asked anxiously.
"This is my car. I can fetch whoever I want. You don't need to worry about it." Calista said unceremoniously.
Then, Calista walked to George and said, "Mr. Wu, let's go in."
"Sure." George smiled and nodded. Then, he looked at Elijah before walking into Kelmen side by side with Calista.
Elijah stood there with a gloomy look on his face. George's gaze was normal, but in Elijah's eyes, they turned provocative, which made him furious.
"How dare a peasant steal my girl?!" Elijah was mad.
"Mr. Li, let's go in too."
"Let's go!"
This was George first visit to Kelmen, and it was indeed an eye-opener. There were two floors here, with a total area of over 1,000 square meters, and luxurious decoration. The waiters and waitresses were all handsome men and beauties, which made them like eye-candy.
Although Kelmen was expensive, its business had always been good, which also showed that there was no shortage of rich people in Jiangzhou.
"It would be great if I could have a restaurant like this." George thought to himself.
After obtaining a ring that could teleport, George initially just wanted to use the world on the other side of the ring to help his barbecue business improve.
However, he now finds that this requirement seems too low. Just a high-level cooking skill has already made his barbecue business several times better, and he has been delayed from the surrounding barbecue stalls.
In that game world, there were still many good things, but George had not used them yet. If he only used them at the barbecue stall, it will obviously be a waste of good materials, and it was completely unnecessary.
Moreover, the barbecue business was at its peak in these few months. After the weather gets colder, although people will still eat barbecue, the business will not be as good as it was now. Therefore, if George wanted to make money, he naturally had to try elsewhere.
Opening a restaurant was a very good choice. George had the skills, and in the game, he also grew a large number of vegetables, fruits and some livestock, which could be the source of ingredients. In this way, as long as he had a store, he could open a restaurant.
However, opening a restaurant was obviously harder than running a barbecue stall, and it required a lot of funds. George didn't have that much money yet, so he could only think about it first.
Everyone came to the private room that had been reserved in advance. As the host of the dinner, Elijah
politely picked up the menu and ordered by himself. During the ordering process, he only asked for Calista's opinion. As for the rest, it was completely out of his consideration.
"Kelmen is really splendid. Today, thanks to Mr. Li, we are lucky enough to eat here once. Otherwise, we may not have the opportunity to eat here ever. I suggest that we pay homage to Mr. Li together later. How about a toast?" said a colleague, Becker Li.
This guy was tall and strong, which would give others the perception that he only had well-developed limbs and a simple mind. However, no one expected him to be quite capable of flattering others.
"I agree! I really want to thank Mr. Li today for bringing us here to open our eyes." Another colleague named Jaxson Wang immediately agreed.
The words of these two put a proud smile on Elijah's face again, and his originally gloomy mood improved a lot.
"It's all trivial. It doesn't cost much to eat here." Elijah waved his hand and said.
"To Mr. Li, it's a small amount of money, but to us, it's a few months' worth of salary." Jaxson Wang said.
"Exactly, how can we compare with Mr. Li? Mr. Li's pocket money for a month is several times more than our salary." Becker Li continued, "Brilliant young men like Mr. Li would definitely attract lots of girls' attention.”
"No matter how good the other girls are, in my heart, they are not as good as Calista at all." Elijah took the opportunity to express his feelings to Calista as he looked at her with an infatuated gaze.
"Don't, don't look at me with that look. I still want to eat later and I don't want to throw up now." Calista waved her hands seriously.
George, who was watching the show, almost burst out laughing after hearing Calista's words. When he saw Elijah's awkward expression, he felt even happier.
"I think that Miss Geng and Mr. Li are both talented and good-looking. They are a perfect match."
"Yes, only an equally outstanding person like Teacher Geng is worthy of Mr. Li."
Becker Li and Jaxson Wang continued to provide assists. These two really spared no effort to flatter Elijah.
Seeing how skilful the both of them were, George guessed that this was not the first time they had done this.
