Chapter 813
Only Food and Love Should Not Be Let Down
The private room provided by Qu Feifan this time was really large, occupying an entire floor. It not only had a dining area, but also included a leisure and meeting area, an entertainment and game area, a health and beauty area, and other areas.
Upon seeing this, Xu Bo'an smiled and said to Qu Feifan, "You really went all out to entertain me this time!"
Xu Bo'an was right. Qu Feifan had indeed put a lot of effort into entertaining Xu Bo'an this time. After Xu Bo'an called him last night, Qu Feifan started making preparations and was busy with this matter all morning.
After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Qu Feifan smiled and said to Xu Bo'an, "That's right, brother, I have to use all my skills to entertain you!"
Xu Bo'an smiled and said to Qu Feifan, "Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"
Qu Feifan said with a smile, "Brother, it's really not an exaggeration at all. You made a lot of money with me this time, so it's only right that I offer you this little something to treat you!"
Xu Bo'an smiled and nodded, saying to Qu Feifan, "Since you put it that way, then I'll accept it without hesitation!"
After picking up Xu Bo'an, Qu Feifan made a special call to the restaurant's chef on his way back to the Jinbihui Hotel, asking them to prepare the dishes. Now all the dishes on the table have been served.
After arranging Xu Bo'an to sit in the main seat, Qu Feifan sat next to him. As for the followers who came with him, they could choose their own seats; there was no need for Qu Feifan to personally arrange seats for them.
After everyone was seated, Qu Feifan instructed one of his rich second-generation henchmen to pour wine for everyone. Then, he led everyone in toasting Xu Bo'an with the first glass of wine. Qu Feifan picked up his glass and said to everyone, "The first glass is to welcome Brother Xu to Jiangcheng!"
After hearing Qu Feifan's words, everyone shouted in unison to Xu Bo'an, "Welcome, Brother Xu, to Jiangcheng!"
Then he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
After everyone finished their first drink, the rich kid who had helped pour the drinks earlier cleverly refilled everyone's glasses.
Then Qu Feifan continued, "Again, we must thank the old houses we bought with Brother Xu. Before the demolition documents were issued, many people thought we were crazy or had too much money to spend. But it turns out that Brother Xu's decision was absolutely correct. We can get rich by following Brother Xu. Don't you all agree?"
The people present were all those who had gone with Xu Bo'an to Dong Xiaojian's second-hand real estate agency to look at old houses. Although some of them bought houses there and others did not buy any to be on the safe side, they were all witnesses and had seen how capable Xu Bo'an was.
After Qu Feifan finished speaking, everyone shouted in unison, "Yes!"
Qu Feifan continued, "So this second glass of wine is to thank Brother Xu for being so generous in helping us make money. Come on, let's have a toast!"
After Qu Feifan finished speaking, the dozen or so rich second-generation heirs raised their wine glasses and toasted Xu Bo'an in unison, then drank them all in one gulp.
After finishing the drink, the dozen or so rich kids present all said they would follow in Xu Bo'an's footsteps.
Since everyone has expressed their intention to follow Xu Bo'an, Xu Bo'an naturally has to express his own views. What Xu Bo'an has no shortage of ways to make money is the money-making opportunities. And all the people present are rich second-generation heirs from Jiangzhou Province. Of course, he won't be stingy in helping them make money. This will also lay a good foundation of connections for him to expand his territory in Jiangzhou Province in the future. Why not?
After finishing his drink, Xu Bo'an declared to everyone, "Alright, since you're all willing to follow me from now on, let's make a fortune together!"
The dozen or so rich kids present were delighted to hear what Xu Bo'an said, and that's how an adult relationship of mutual benefit was established between Xu Bo'an and this group of rich kids.
Xu Bo'an agreed to do this mainly to pave the way for his future network of connections, while these rich second-generation heirs followed Xu Bo'an in order to make more money!
Although these second-generation rich kids are already very wealthy, their wealth is only relative, because they do not have the endless resources that Xu Bo'an has. Therefore, to a certain extent, they still have a lot of anxieties.
After all, doing business can be a way to make a lot of money, but if you lose money, you may become penniless, or even worse, be heavily in debt and reach a point of no return.
So even though these rich kids are already very wealthy, they still need to keep making money. Whoever can help them make money, they will naturally be willing to follow!
After everyone expressed their feelings, Qu Feifan, the host of the gathering, instructed everyone to sit down and enjoy themselves to the fullest.
Everyone then sat down to enjoy their lunch.
Today's lunch was specially prepared by Qu Feifan to welcome Xu Bo'an. Most of the ingredients were the best and freshest imported ingredients! The table was filled with Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Fujian cuisine, and almost all kinds of famous cuisines from all over the country.
Qu Feifan used his chopsticks to pick up the largest yellow butter crab on the table and put it on Xu Bo'an's plate, saying, "Brother Xu, I specially had this yellow butter crab flown back from abroad. I was just waiting for you to come and taste it!"
After Qu Feifan finished speaking, he put another yellow butter crab on his plate, but it wasn't as big as Xu Bo'an's.
Xu Bo'an also knew about the "butter crab," which was hailed as a "luxury crab." A single butter crab could cost a very high price, reportedly starting at at least two thousand yuan per kilogram.
Xu Bo'an looked at the yellow roe crab that Qu Feifan had picked up from his plate. It was very plump, and he estimated that it weighed at least a pound, close to two pounds. Even if it was a locally produced yellow roe crab, it would cost at least five thousand yuan. Moreover, Qu Feifan said that the yellow roe crab on his plate was specially air-freighted. With the price of the crab roe itself plus the round-trip shipping costs, Xu Bo'an roughly estimated that it would cost several thousand or even ten thousand yuan.
It seems that Qu Feifan really went to great lengths to entertain me!
Afterwards, Qu Feifan very considerately cracked open the crab's back for Xu Bo'an, peeling the yellow oil crab until only the edible parts remained, almost feeding it directly to Xu Bo'an.
Then she said to Xu Bo'an, "Brother Xu, please try it!"
Xu Bo'an picked up a spoon, gently scooped out a little crab meat that Qu Feifan had prepared, and put it in his mouth. Instantly, Xu Bo'an's entire tongue was enveloped in the rich, creamy texture of the yellow crab oil. It was sweet with a hint of saltiness, completely devoid of any fishy taste. After tasting it, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but give Qu Feifan a thumbs up and praise, "You've really put your heart into this, kid. This yellow crab is truly amazing, the taste is incredible!"
Qu Feifan was very happy to hear Xu Bo'an's praise, and said with a smile to Xu Bo'an, "I'm glad you think it's delicious, Brother Xu, eat more!"
Xu Bo'an looked at Qu Feifan and nodded in satisfaction.
When everyone heard that Qu Feifan had such a valuable item as the butter crab that had been airlifted, and when they heard Xu Bo'an praise the taste of the butter crab, their mouths watered. Soon, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all looked at the plate of crabs. Then they picked up their chopsticks and began to grab the remaining crabs on the table.
Those second-generation rich kids who managed to snag some crabs were grinning from ear to ear, while those who missed out were rather unhappy.
It's not that these rich kids are ignorant; it's just that yellow butter crabs are rare and expensive, and even families like theirs can't afford to eat them often.
As the saying goes, "Only good food and love should not be let down!" Who in this world can resist the temptation of good food and love?
These rich kids are no exception.
At this moment, one of the people who hadn't managed to get the butter crab looked at those who had and said with some dissatisfaction and grievance, "As your brothers, you can't keep all the delicious food to yourself!"
Others who didn't manage to snag the butter crab chimed in, saying, "That's right, we're all brothers, we should share good food together!"
One of the second-generation descendants who managed to snatch the yellow roe crab said, "Heh, now you remember you have something good to share? Why didn't you share half of that top-quality sea cucumber you grabbed last time? This time I won't share with you, just so you'll be jealous!"
After saying that, the person made a big face at the person who had just spoken.
Those who didn't manage to get the butter crab saw him making faces at them and angrily glared at him, saying, "You wait, next time if I get something delicious, I won't share it with you either!"
The person who snatched the butter crab glanced at the other person and said, "Hmph, do you even need a next time? You didn't share your good food with me last time! Who would believe your nonsense!"
After saying that, he cracked open the crab shell and started eating it in big bites, pretending to enjoy it in order to annoy the man.
The man was too lazy to look at the way the man was trying to provoke him, so he simply turned his head away and stopped looking at him!
The person eating the crab felt that if the other person didn't look at him, he wouldn't be able to provoke him as much, so he simply took his plate and walked over to the person who hadn't gotten the yellow crab, and started eating it with smacking lips.
Seeing his smug look, the person who didn't have the butter crab snatched the remaining half of the crab from the other person's plate when he wasn't looking, and then ate it triumphantly.
The person whose crab was stolen saw his empty plate and angrily said to him, "You're so immoral! You actually stole my things!"
The person who had snatched the half crab had already stuffed the remaining half into his mouth. He was quite pleased with himself as he chewed on the crab and mumbled, "Oh, are you angry? I'm not as stingy as you. How about I share some of what's in my mouth with you?"
The person whose crab was stolen became even angrier upon hearing this, and looked at him, saying, "You're disgusting!"
The childish antics of these two rich kids instantly made everyone present burst into laughter, even Xu Bo'an, who has a high threshold for laughter, was successfully amused by them.
The person whose crab was stolen was already unhappy, and hearing everyone's laughter made him even angrier. He rolled his eyes and said to those rich kids, "What are you laughing at? I curse that your yellow crabs will be stolen from your plates later!"
Upon hearing this, those who had managed to grab the butter crabs quickly used their hands to protect the crabs on their plates.
The person whose butter crab was stolen felt very embarrassed and complained to Qu Feifan, "Young Master Qu, you should do something about him! He actually stole my delicious food!"
Qu Feifan wanted to laugh at the childish behavior of this group of guys, but with Xu Bo'an around, he managed to suppress his laughter. After all, these second-generation rich kids hung out with him every day, and it was fine if they joked around with him normally, but with Xu Bo'an here today, their antics would be embarrassing and a disgrace to him.
Qu Feifan suppressed the urge to laugh and put on a serious expression, sternly saying to them, "You bunch of good-for-nothings, have you never seen food before or what? Brother Xu is still here today, and you're just spouting nonsense. You're really embarrassing me. Get back to your seats right now!"
The man whose yellow crab had been stolen said pitifully, "Young Master Qu, but..."
Qu Feifan glared at him and said, "But what? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you out!"
Although the person whose butter crab was stolen was a big foodie, he thought that he still had to follow Qu Feifan, and more importantly, he would have to make a lot of money with Xu Bo'an in the future. If he were really thrown out now, how would he make a lot of money in the future? Compared with eating, making a lot of money was more important. After all, you can only eat good food if you have money!
Thinking of this, he obediently sat back down in his seat as Qu Feifan instructed.
The private room returned to its previous calm, and everyone began to eat their meal properly.
Qu Feifan then glanced at Xu Bo'an's expression and saw no displeasure whatsoever. He felt less nervous after that, but he was still worried that Xu Bo'an might mind the brothers' antics.
Qu Feifan then said to Xu Bo'an, "Brother Xu, well... my brothers weren't very sensible, so I apologize to you on their behalf. I hope you can be magnanimous and not take offense at what happened earlier!"
Xu Bo'an was stunned by Qu Feifan's sudden apology. What was going on? He hadn't been angry at all; on the contrary, he found these young rich kids quite adorable. Why was Qu Feifan apologizing to him? (End of Chapter)
