He wasn’t ignorant about good stuff. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
He had heard of the legends around Liu Qian but had never dealt with him before.
After the Rolls-Royce parked, two Mercedes-Benz cars stopped in the remaining two spots.
It wasn’t until he saw Liu Qian nodding and bowing to greet the young men stepping out of the car that he felt relieved he hadn’t made any disrespectful remarks earlier. The young men who could scare Chai Ren were definitely rich second-generation kids.
Those from Qingyan City couldn’t possibly be them.
So it had to be... from the province.
"Gulp..." Yin Lingzhen swallowed nervously.
Thinking that was a close call.
Actually, to these second-generation rich kids, Liu Qian wasn’t really nodding and bowing so much as being somewhat more respectful.
"Uncle Li, how have you been?" Tang Qing greeted Li Jianguo as soon as he got out of the car.
"Thank you for asking, I’m quite well," Li Jianguo replied with a smile.
"That’s good to hear. Li Kai seems pretty honest, heh," Tang Qing remarked, seeing Li Kai serving dishes inside through the large glass. His school had finished a week earlier than Fudan, so he had come home early with his girlfriend.
And then Li Jianguo dragged him here to serve plates.
Li Kai also saw Tang Qing and noticed Liu Qian and Chai Ren as well, so he didn’t come over to greet them. Li Kai knew these people were of a different level than him, so he simply waved at Tang Qing and went back to work.
"That kid, he’s no match for you. Please come in, and welcome, honored guests," Li Jianguo naturally didn’t just greet Tang Qing. He looked at the others, whom he didn’t recognize, guessing they must be the important guests Tang Qing had mentioned.
Tang Qing gave a brief introduction.
But mainly about Liu Qian, because the others were just ’passing by.’
Li Jianguo didn’t know Liu Qian, but Liu Qian certainly knew of Li Jianguo and was aware that Tang Qing had shares in this place. It wasn’t that he had specifically investigated, but because the company had shares held by Tang Qing, it naturally could utilize the Group’s promotional channels.
All sorts of shopping vouchers and consumption coupons were exchanged mutually.
Liu Qian’s real estate business and Dream Melody Jewelry both had this restaurant’s cash vouchers, which is how he knew about the company. Since his own business also involved hotels, and for seafood dining, he wouldn’t come here; thus, it was also his first time meeting Li Jianguo.
Li Jianguo led the group to the largest private room.
Thinking of seafood,
Liu Qian couldn’t help but drool.
He took several sips of the tea in front of him to suppress his craving.
After everyone sat down,
Li Jianguo turned around to make arrangements.
Chai Ren and Zheng Lin, who had dined here before, were very much looking forward to repeating the experience. They knew they weren’t truly addicted; it was just that the food was so delicious. They eagerly watched the door, hoping the dishes would come quickly.
This made Bao Kaiyu and Zhai Zhihua wonder, with Bao Kaiyu jokingly saying, "Big young Chai, what’s with that expression? You look like a hungry rat waiting at its burrow, it’s quite amusing."
Chai Ren replied grumpily, "Wait until later, then you’ll understand. If it wasn’t for the fact that this stuff isn’t for sale, I’d want to eat it every day."
"Exactly, Little Tang, is there really no way to increase production?" Zheng Lin chimed in.
Tang Qing shook his head, "No, these things come from special sea areas with a submarine current that continuously brings up deep-sea water and nutrients. Hence, the seafood output is limited. I can only get so much, and this feast took quite a while to gather."
Coming up with lies was second nature to Tang Qing.
With that said,
the others refrained from further questions about buying.
Obviously,
the items were limited supply, and you were only given the chance to taste them if you were considered a friend; otherwise, you wouldn’t even see them.
Soon,
the first batch to come up was the silly crabs.
There were dozens of silly crabs in a huge dish.
Each crab weighed around two pounds, and as soon as the dish was set down, Zheng Lin and Chai Ren started to scramble for them, with Zhan Xi also joining in quickly. Zheng Lin even neglected his wife as he skillfully started to crack open the shells and eat.
Bao Kaiyu and Zhai Zhihua skeptically took one each.
After one bite,
they said nothing.
They just ate,
As if fearing that speaking one more word would mean one less bite for them.
"Uncle Jianguo, please sit and don’t be polite. Oh, and save two crabs for Li Kai," Tang Qing said to Li Jianguo, who was still standing.
"Alright, alright. After half a year, I finally have the chance to eat it again," as he looked at the silly crab in his hand, Li Jianguo felt like crying. Owning a seafood restaurant and being moved to tears by seafood was a bit embarrassing.
Tang Qing felt helpless.
This stable gene substance was simply too attractive to ordinary creatures.
As for Tang Qing, he had eaten it so much that he was tired of it and didn’t really care for it anymore.
And so did Lin Jiaxue.
She had eaten it frequently recently, not just seafood but also meat from the training area, all containing this substance. Once a creature consumed a certain amount of it, and their own genes gradually stabilized, the attraction to it began to decrease.
And after eating it for so long,
Lin Jiaxue’s attitude toward this kind of food had returned to just a slightly better-tasting seafood, without such a strong craving anymore.
Therefore,
Lin Jiaxue picked up a silly crab and began to eat it slowly, occasionally feeding her nearly neglected niece because of Zheng Lin’s wife.
"Mommy, bad, sister, good,"
Having taken a bite, Zheng Lin’s daughter excitedly danced with joy, prompting Zheng Lin and his wife to blush and hurriedly attend to their precious daughter, soothing the ’wound’ in her young heart.
Which set everyone laughing heartily.
More than an hour later,
everyone was full from wine and food.
Except for Tang Qing and Lin Jiaxue.
