The nominal mentor extended an invitation, and Lin Jie had to politely decline Lu Kaicheng, Chen Lan, and Li Hetong, accepting Chen Shi's invitation instead.
What Lin Jie didn't expect was that he followed Chen Shi to a particularly elegant place, an authentic French restaurant, where even the waitresses were blonde, blue-eyed foreigners with freckled faces.
It was his first time in such a setting, but Lin Jie showed no sign of nervousness. Under Shen Lanruo's guidance, he skillfully ordered several famous French dishes like escargot, foie gras, and onion soup.
Seeing Lin Jie order appetizers, soups, entrees, main dishes, and desserts with ease and demonstrate proper dining etiquette, Chen Shi was quite surprised and asked, "Have you eaten French food before?"
"Never eaten it, but I've seen pigs run!"
Lin Jie chuckled and said, "There are so many introductions to French cuisine in films and on the internet, I've remembered a few things."
