However... if he could combine the knowledge and information from various industries in his memory... just like the food that Sun Xiaoyu ate, if it were prepared by a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacist, the medicinal effect would definitely be excellent, but the taste would inevitably be somewhat lacking.
But if a chef were to make it... even if the chef knew the recipe for this nutritious food, but didn't understand the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, such as the balance of Yin and Yang, the medicinal effects would definitely be much worse, even if the taste was better.
Only someone like Zhou Ziwei, who has considerable expertise in both industries, could produce nutritious foods that are both delicious and effective.
This is the advantage of integrating knowledge from various industries... this is what makes Zhou Ziwei stand out from everyone else. As long as Zhou Ziwei can make good use of this characteristic, he can succeed even if he doesn't want to...
Of course... to truly integrate and utilize the diverse memories he absorbed from hundreds of people, this is not like mixing a cocktail; it's not as simple as just pouring everything into a jug and shaking it.
To what extent it can be integrated, and what new projects can be developed based on it, are questions that he will need to study in the future.
However... Zhou Ziwei didn't want to miss out on this readily available and excellent project.
The nutritional supplements that Sun Xiaoyu was drinking were undoubtedly limited-edition foods distributed by a special department. Both the finished product and the formula were strictly confidential, and under normal circumstances, they would never have entered the public sphere.
However, Zhou Ziwei's abnormal sense of smell has already revealed most of the formula for this product. He might not be able to replicate it exactly as it is now, but he could certainly develop a new nutritional food based on this formula.
In fact, even if Zhou Ziwei could completely replicate it, he wouldn't do so, because this is something controlled by the authorities. If you were to easily crack it and then openly sell it to the public, it would be a miracle if you didn't get into huge trouble... Therefore, Zhou Ziwei plans to only keep a few main ingredients from the original recipe, then add a large amount of auxiliary ingredients to neutralize the medicinal properties, and add some ingredients to harmonize the color, aroma, and taste... In this way, the effect of his creation in increasing excitement will be weakened considerably, but the taste will be greatly improved.
It is guaranteed that even if the person who invented the nutritional food that Sun Xiaoyu ate tasted the food developed by Zhou Ziwei, they would never suspect that it was plagiarized from him.
Anyway, this product is intended for the general public. Ordinary people don't need to be bodyguards or do anything dangerous, so why would they need such a strong stimulating effect? As long as this product has a more obvious stimulating effect than coffee and tea, and is beneficial to the body, it will definitely become a wildly popular brand-name food.
However, at present, these are just ideas. The specific food formula will need to be repeatedly deliberated and tested in practice before it is finally determined. After the formula is determined, how the food company will operate will also require further planning. It is too early to say now.
※※※
When Liu Xiaofei received Zhou Ziwei's call, she didn't come upstairs immediately. Instead, she dawdled for almost an hour until the dishes Zhou Ziwei had ordered were brought in in elegant food boxes and placed on the table one by one. The fragrant aroma made Zhou Ziwei almost want to eat first, but Liu Xiaofei finally knocked on the door.
Although Sun Xiaoyu had already seen Liu Xiaofei knocking on the door through the monitor and knew that Liu Xiaofei was a policewoman, she still meticulously conducted a rigorous check on Liu Xiaofei at the door, even touching Liu Xiaofei's full breasts and buttocks a couple of times before letting Liu Xiaofei into the room.
Although Sun Xiaoyu is also a woman, Liu Xiaofei couldn't help but blush and feel ashamed when someone touched and pinched such a sensitive area in front of Zhou Ziwei, and she didn't dare to lift her head.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziwei couldn't help but feel a surge of lust. He thought to himself that maybe Sun Xiaoyu was actually a lesbian... otherwise, why would she search a woman's body like that? It was clearly an attempt to take advantage of her...
Only Sun Xiaoyu completely disregarded the feelings of the two of them, keeping a cold face and closely following Liu Xiaofei to the dining table, looking almost like a jailer escorting a prisoner to the execution ground.
Zhou Ziwei snorted in dissatisfaction and said, "Liu Xiaofei is my friend, a good friend I can completely trust. I hope you won't treat my friend like this next time, okay? She can't possibly be an assassin... Isn't this unnecessary?"
"Can't--"
After Sun Xiaoyu refused Zhou Ziwei's request without any politeness, she walked behind Zhou Ziwei on her own initiative. She remained motionless, like a lifeless wax figure, except for her eyes occasionally darting around alertly.
She didn't even glance at the table laden with delicious food.
Zhou Ziwei rolled his eyes in anger. This ice-cold woman was simply unreasonable. Originally, Zhou Ziwei didn't want to do anything to hurt her because she was there to protect him. However, if Sun Xiaoyu dared to hurt Zhou Ziwei's friend first, then Zhou Ziwei would definitely not have any pity for her.
Liu Xiaofei, being a member of the public security bureau, had received just as much indoctrination in the police academy as she had in the military. Therefore, while somewhat embarrassed by the situation, she wasn't particularly angry. Seeing Zhou Ziwei's displeased expression, she quickly reassured him, "Forget it...forget it, Officer Sun was just following the rules. She didn't do anything wrong. Anyway, this only benefits you, and it won't harm you, while I...it doesn't matter..."
"Uh... you don't mind being touched like this?"
"She's a woman, so what if she touches me a few times...? I won't suffer any loss..." Liu Xiaofei said, giving Zhou Ziwei a sweet, disdainful look. She probably felt that Zhou Ziwei was jealous of her, and that he was jealous because another woman had touched her. This gave Liu Xiaofei a sense of being valued and happy.
Zhou Ziwei wanted to remind Liu Xiaofei that if Sun Xiaoyu was a lesbian, then she would have already suffered a great loss. However, Zhou Ziwei naturally wouldn't say such unfounded speculation in front of Sun Xiaoyu, otherwise, even if Sun Xiaoyu was really made of ice, she would probably explode with anger.
"Fine... since you don't care, why should I join in the commotion?" Zhou Ziwei shrugged helplessly, pointed to the seat opposite him, and said, "Then let's ignore her... hurry up and sit down, let's eat."
"oh……"
Liu Xiaofei sat down as instructed, but then realized that there were only two chairs on the table. After she sat down, there would be no place for Sun Xiaoyu. She immediately stood up again, somewhat at a loss, and said, "Um... what about Officer Sun... Officer Sun, please sit down first!"
After Liu Xiaofei finished speaking, she saw that Sun Xiaoyu completely ignored her, and she immediately felt very embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
Sun Xiaoyu was forced to give Zhou Ziwei some leeway due to orders from her superiors, and would occasionally give concise answers to Zhou Ziwei's questions. However, her superiors did not allow her to give way to Liu Xiaofei, so even though Liu Xiaofei politely invited her to sit down, she completely ignored her.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziwei snorted coldly and said, "You sit down, don't worry about her. Officer Sun is a reincarnation of a glacier fairy, she lives by breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, unlike us mortals who have to eat these mundane things... Hehe... Come on, let's have a drink first... This red wine is a famous French wine, it seems to cost tens of thousands of yuan a bottle, I don't know how they found it in this small county town... Uh... I'll taste it first to see if it's fake wine made with coloring and ethanol..."
Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaoyu almost couldn't resist slapping Zhou Ziwei on the head... Although she didn't know where her subordinates had gotten this bottle of wine from, she knew that the logistics department had put in a lot of effort to obtain it.
But when it came to Zhou Ziwei, he actually suspected it was fake liquor made with artificial coloring...
Zhou Ziwei downed the half-glass of red wine in one gulp, then closed his eyes, smacked his lips, frowned, and shook his head slightly, saying, "It tastes awful... It's even worse than those cheap wines sold in supermarkets that cost a dozen yuan a barrel..."
"Ah...it really is fake alcohol...what should we do? Who bought it for you? You should ask them to return it!"
Liu Xiaofei had no idea that the wine and all the dishes on the table were prepared by Sun Xiaoyu, so she immediately became nervous after hearing Zhou Ziwei's serious words.
After all, if this wine really cost tens of thousands of yuan to buy, and it can't even compare to wine that costs a dozen yuan a barrel, then it must be fake without a doubt.
Tens of thousands of yuan is no small amount. Liu Xiaofei comes from an ordinary family and is used to being frugal. Therefore, even though she doesn't have to pay for the wine, she still feels nervous.
“Uh…who said this is fake wine?” Zhou Ziwei chuckled and said, “If this wine were sweet and delicious, it would definitely be fake. But since this wine tastes so bad…it’s probably real.”
"ah……"
Liu Xiaofei paused for a moment before finally asking, "Then... if you think this wine tastes awful, why did you drink it in the first place? It costs tens of thousands of yuan a bottle. If it tasted good, that would be one thing, but if you find it awful, isn't that just paying money to suffer?"
Zhou Ziwei answered honestly, "Although this wine tastes a bit bad, it's expensive enough... Since someone is treating us, why should we order cheap wine? Come on... Anyway, this wine is already opened, it costs tens of thousands of yuan a bottle, it would be a waste to throw it away if we couldn't finish it."
Liu Xiaofei was taken aback by Zhou Ziwei's theory, but upon reflection, it seemed to make some sense. Under Zhou Ziwei's repeated urging, she reluctantly raised her glass and took a sip. However, she immediately remembered that she had been kidnapped by thugs last time because she went to a bar to drink, and she felt that drinking was not a good thing. She quickly said, "No... I... I can't hold my liquor very well, I'd better not drink, otherwise if I get drunk, I might not even be able to get back to my own room..."
To everyone's surprise, Zhou Ziwei didn't even blink and said, "If you can't go back, you can stay here tonight..."
Volume 1, Rebirth of a Prodigy, Chapter 150: Three People in One Bed
"Ah...you're right...it's true."
This was the first time Liu Xiaofei had ever seen Zhou Ziwei be so proactive towards her, and he even went so far as to invite her to stay at his place. This made Liu Xiaofei feel so happy that she was almost disoriented.
Zhou Ziwei nodded, clearly stating, "That's right. If you're willing... even if you're not drunk, you can stay here tonight. Otherwise... I'll be scared."
Liu Xiaofei asked curiously, "You're afraid? What are you afraid of?"
Zhou Ziwei chuckled, pointed back at Sun Xiaoyu standing behind him, and said, "I'm not afraid of her!"
"She...ah..."
After Zhou Ziwei said that, Liu Xiaofei realized that given the level of protection Zhou Ziwei was currently receiving, he would most likely need someone to protect him closely in his bedroom at night.
Since Zhu Junli was in charge of monitoring the perimeter, it was most likely Sun Xiaoyu who stayed by Zhou Ziwei's side and spent the night with him.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaofei suddenly felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help but feel jealous of Sun Xiaoyu.
She also understood why Zhou Ziwei had been so generous in inviting her to stay overnight... With Sun Xiaoyu, such a huge third wheel, here, even if Zhou Ziwei cuddled her in the same bed, he couldn't possibly do anything.
After thinking about it this way, Liu Xiaofei couldn't help but feel cold-hearted. She felt as if she had become Zhou Ziwei's toy, something he would take out to pass the time when he was bored, and then kick her away when he was no longer needed.
Just as Liu Xiaofei was about to refuse Zhou Ziwei, she suddenly realized... With Sun Xiaoyu here to watch over them, it was indeed impossible for her and Zhou Ziwei to have any real romantic relationship. But... if she didn't stay here tonight, then Zhou Ziwei and Sun Xiaoyu would be sleeping alone in a room, and there wouldn't be any other third wheels to disturb them. Would... would something happen between them?
The moment this thought popped into her head, it immediately eroded Liu Xiaofei's heart like a poison, making it impossible for her to remain calm.
Although Liu Xiaofei already knew that Zhou Ziwei was married and had a wife, she never gave up the idea of being with him.
However, she never considered breaking up Zhou Ziwei's family, or making Zhou Ziwei divorce his original wife and marry her.
This is because Liu Xiaofei is kind by nature. Although she hopes that day will come, she will not use any schemes to achieve this goal. She feels that she has already wronged Zhou Ziwei's wife by clinging to someone else's husband. If she were to scheme against that poor woman, that would be too inhuman.
However, Liu Xiaofei could accept Zhou Ziwei's original wife, but she absolutely did not want Zhou Ziwei to have any relationship with any third woman besides her.
From this perspective, everyone is selfish.
It was precisely because she was worried that Zhou Ziwei might cheat on her when no one else was around that Liu Xiaofei hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and agreeing to spend the night at Zhou Ziwei's place.
"No—she can't live here!"
However, before Zhou Ziwei could speak, Sun Xiaoyu, who had been standing behind him like an ice sculpture, refused without any politeness.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziwei glanced back at Sun Xiaoyu, then grinned at the pitiful-looking Liu Xiaofei and said, "It's nothing... She's probably afraid you'll steal her blanket tonight, so she doesn't dare let you come. Don't worry about her... I can just sleep in the same bed with you later..."
"Ah... this..." Liu Xiaofei was stunned by Zhou Ziwei's suggestion again. Although she didn't object to it from the bottom of her heart, bringing it up in front of another woman... even with her thick skin, she was too embarrassed to agree directly...
However, before she could reply, Sun Xiaoyu once again said in her cold tone, "No... she can't live here."
This time, Zhou Ziwei was truly enraged. He slammed his hand on the table, turned around, glared at Sun Xiaoyu, and said, "Reason?"
Sun Xiaoyu completely ignored Zhou Ziwei's anger, not even glancing at him. She continued to scan back and forth between the balcony and the doorway, while replying succinctly, "Safe."
"Safety my foot."
Zhou Ziwei rolled his eyes and said, "It's because you insist on staying in my room that I feel so unsafe, which is why I invited Xiaofei to stay here with me tonight... If you don't want her to stay here, that's fine too... just don't stay in this room tonight either... Don't you feel like you're always so cold, like a thousand-year-old female corpse? If I were to stay alone in this room with you, I'd be scared to death... So... either you agree to let Xiaofei stay here, or you both just leave... the choice is yours!"
Sun Xiaoyu was clearly furious at Zhou Ziwei's analogy of a thousand-year-old female corpse. Her eyes were fixed on Zhou Ziwei's, like lightning bolts. Her body trembled slightly for a while before gradually calming down. Finally, she let out a heavy snort and said, "Very well... I can give in this time, but next time... I hope you won't push your luck, otherwise... humph..."
"OK... Thank you for your cooperation, Officer Sun. As for the next time, we'll talk about that next time."
Zhou Ziwei completely ignored Sun Xiaoyu's threatening snort, laughed it off, and sat back down to continue eating and drinking with Liu Xiaofei...
With Zhou Ziwei deliberately dawdling, the meal took more than two hours to finish. Zhou Ziwei drank more than half of a bottle of red wine, while Liu Xiaofei, although she only drank a little less, was still completely drunk.
Liu Xiaofei could have drunk less, but whether it was to embolden herself or something else, when she was about 50-60% drunk, she started desperately trying to take the drinks from Zhou Ziwei, until she herself was completely drunk before she stopped.
Looking at Liu Xiaofei, who was fast asleep on the table, Zhou Ziwei couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He knew Liu Xiaofei was doing it on purpose; she deliberately got herself drunk so that when everyone was sleeping in the same room, even if Zhou Ziwei wanted to do something to her... she wouldn't refuse because there were outsiders present.
It can be said that although Liu Xiaofei did not take any initiative, she actively handed over all the initiative to Zhou Ziwei.
Zhou Ziwei sighed inwardly. He originally didn't want to take things further with Liu Xiaofei before sorting out his own feelings or before the mark left on Liu Xiaofei's soul from the hurt he suffered had disappeared.
But now he doesn't know if his deliberate act of letting Liu Xiaofei stay overnight in this room out of momentary anger means that Liu Xiaofei will become even more unable to extricate herself. This makes him feel ashamed from the bottom of his heart... and also makes him feel that he is very despicable and shameless.
People who are drunk seem to be particularly heavy. Even a slender girl like Liu Xiaofei took a lot of effort for Zhou Ziwei to drag her to bed.
The room Zhou Ziwei is currently staying in is the best room in the entire hotel. Although it can't compare to the presidential suites of those star-rated hotels, it seems to be not much different from the deluxe rooms of ordinary hotels.
At least this bed is big enough. It's called a double bed, but it's 2.3 meters wide. Even if four people sleep side by side, it won't feel too crowded.
Zhou Ziwei picked up Liu Xiaofei and placed her in the middle of the bed, then carefully helped her take off her shoes and socks.
After hesitating for a moment, I didn't dare to help her take off her tight jeans, so I just covered her with the towel blanket.
When Zhou Ziwei was holding Liu Xiaofei, he smelled a sweet scent of alcohol on her, as well as a faint fragrance of shower gel. He guessed that the girl had taken a shower before coming up after receiving his call, which explained why she took so long… He had clearly called to say that he wanted to have dinner with her, but she wanted to take a shower before eating… Could this be considered a hint?
Zhou Ziwei had drunk most of a bottle of red wine and was somewhat tipsy. Coupled with the fact that he had just been holding Liu Xiaofei's mature yet youthful body, it was inevitable that he would become a little distracted.
If it weren't for the cold and aloof Sun Xiaoyu standing next to him, Zhou Ziwei really couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't have turned into a midnight pervert in this situation and directly devoured Liu Xiaofei like a plump little lamb.
"Hey... I'm going to take a shower, so you're not allowed to take advantage of me to molest my friend."
Zhou Ziwei decided to take a cold shower to cool down his temper, but before leaving, he gave Sun Xiaoyu a half-joking, half-serious warning.
Speaking of which... even now, when he recalls the way Sun Xiaoyu touched and pinched Liu Xiaofei's breasts and buttocks during the body search, he still feels that this woman is not quite normal. Even if she is not really a lesbian, she might have the potential to develop in that direction.
Surprisingly, Sun Xiaoyu wasn't angry at these words. She just stared coldly at Zhou Ziwei and said, "If you're worried, I can accompany you into the bathroom..."
