Life style warm man

Chapter 236 Xu Lei
If Wang Shen's shaking of the spoon gave Pruss a visual shock, then the moment the fried rice came out of the pot, the impact he received was three-dimensional and all-round.

From sight to smell, from static to dynamic, from physical to psychological, his footsteps moved involuntarily to Wang Shen's side.

His eyes were carefully fixed on the fried rice that Wang Shen took out of the frying pan.

"This is so amazing, it's like a work of art! And you are a master!"

Prussia was amazed with his praise.

But before he could finish praising him, Ashley, Rebecca and Wang Xin were already picking up the steaming fried rice with plates and spoons.

"No.no, how could you destroy this work of art!"

Prussia was a little anxious and wanted to stop everyone, but seeing the expressions of enjoyment on the faces of the three women, his heart was shaken.

"Sister Yaoyao, try it! It's definitely delicious beyond your imagination!"

Wang Xin casually handed a spoon to Xue Xiyao.

Xue Xiyao felt her saliva begin to secrete involuntarily. She gently dug out a spoonful of colorful fried rice with her bare hands and put it into Cherry's mouth.

Chew slightly.

Instantly a different kind of fragrance filled her lips and teeth!
"good to eat!"

The highest praise is often the simplest expression.

Xue Xiyao's eyes looked at Wang Shen, watery with admiration!

Many of the kitchen staff who were watching couldn't help but pick up their spoons and taste them.

After these people tasted it, their eyes brightened instantly, and they all looked at Wang Shen aside with some disbelief.

A simple dish of rice, after some cooking by him, turned out to be such a delicious and delicious dish!
This man is amazing!

"Mr. Pruss, what do you think of Chinese food now?"

Wang Shen looked at Prussia who was savoring the fried rice and asked aloud.

It's just that his words were in Mandarin, and Prussia couldn't understand him at all.

Wang Shen quickly called Rebecca.

Rebecca put down the spoon reluctantly and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Wang Shen said speechlessly: "Translate my words."

"what did you say?"

Rebecca opened her big eyes, fluttering and looking very innocent.

Wang Shen had no choice but to say it again.

Rebecca quickly translated the words.

Prussia shook his head and said: "I apologize for my narrow-mindedness, like you. If Chinese food is of this level, I think it will definitely shine on the world's gourmet stage."

Wang Shen nodded.

Seeing that the other party admitted that the Chinese food was delicious, he didn't say anything more.

With the existence of fried rice, Preuss has long since given up his aloof mentality as a French chef.

After tasting the fried rice, he couldn't wait to discuss the uniqueness of the fried rice with Wang Shen.

Wang Shen did not hide it, but simply explained to him the characteristics of Chinese fried rice.

Watching the eloquent conversation, Prussia, who was originally extremely arrogant, turned into Wang Shen, who was like a primary school student who humbly asked for advice.

Ashley's eyes were as bright as sapphires.

After talking for a while, everyone moved from the restaurant to the office and talked for about an hour.

Prussia walked out of Ashley's office with a complicated expression.

China?

What kind of place is it?
At this time, his heart was full of expectations for that distant country.

After Pruss left, Wang Shen and others didn't stay long before they got up and left.

However, they did not return to the hotel. Instead, accompanied by Rebecca, they visited New York City.

This world-famous metropolis is synonymous with prosperity and fashion, and is also an important symbol of the United States as the center of the world.

Famous attractions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Times Square, and the Brooklyn Bridge all have unique attractions.

This trip lasted three full days, and I only had a rough look.

I visited a lot of places and bought a lot of things.

It can be regarded as completely satisfying Wang Xin and Xue Xiyao's longing for metropolitan life.

After three days of shopping, Wang Shen also received a reply from Ashley, and Prussia agreed to their plan.

Create a high-end fashionable cuisine combining French and Chinese cuisine.

It focuses on a visual experience where romance and fireworks are intertwined.

However, Prussia wanted to go to China for a month first to experience the real style of China.

Wang Shen naturally had no objection.

With this French cuisine master making a gimmick, the restaurant must be on the right track in the domestic consumer market of not buying the right ones, but only the expensive ones, not the domestic ones, but only the foreign ones.

Although consumption is now downgraded, the middle class still cannot let go of the petty bourgeoisie sentiments deep in their bones.

This is why Wang Shen agreed with Ashley.

After all, he already has a restaurant in China that specializes in high-end fried rice.

It’s just that although the reputation is good, it is only famous in Jeju City.

limited influence.

After staying in New York for another day, Wang Shen and others took a plane back to San Francisco.

After experiencing life in two American cities, they had been out for more than ten days before they knew it.

Wang Xin and Xue Xiyao's enthusiasm has not diminished at all.

They actually suggested going to Las Vegas or Hawaii.

Not only that, they also want to go to Yellowstone Park, Washington, and Alaska.

Wang Shen felt dizzy when he heard this.

Just when he was thinking about where to take them to play, a phone call from China gave up all his thoughts.

The call was from Sun Chao.

He said that he saw Yu Manni a few days ago and she was in a bad state.

Asked her, he wouldn't tell.

Xu Lei asked around and found out that it seemed to be about her brother.

It seems that it was an investment project that suffered a huge loss.

It may have affected the operation of his other companies, making it difficult to maintain the capital chain.

When Wang Shen heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed.

No wonder Xu Lei was in a bad state when he went to Inner Mongolia some time ago.

What project did he invest in that would break his muscles?
These two siblings are really strict.

Although he and Yu Manni had no emotional entanglement, this girl got along well with his family, and both parents liked him.

Moreover, he and Xu Lei get along well. Although they have known each other for a short time, they have similar temperaments.

Now that something happened, no news came out at all, which made Wang Shen somewhat worried.

When Wang Shen hung up the phone and told Wang Xin and Wang about the matter, they didn't say much and immediately agreed to leave for home.

There is plenty of time to go out and play. This time we paved the road and we can go out and play at any time.

There is no need to surrender the house.

The three of them simply packed up and took an international flight back to the capital the next day.

After arriving at the Capital Airport, Wang Shen and the others got into Liu's business car and headed straight to Jeju.

In a three-story villa in Jeju City, Xu Chunzhong was glaring at Xu Lei in front of him with an angry expression.

"How many times have I told you, don't invest in real estate, don't invest, but you don't listen. Why wouldn't others want such a good project?"

"Dad, brother was also deceived!"

"Don't speak for him anymore. It's better now. How can you fill the 8000 million hole? You've always been steady. How could you make such a mistake?"

Listening to Xu Chunzhong's displeased reprimand, Xu Lei lowered his head with a sad look on his face.

He also didn't expect that the project that was a sure thing would end up being unfinished, and all the money invested in the early stage would be wasted.If we continue to invest, it will take at least 8000 million to start. This is just the start.

If you don’t continue to invest, all the money invested in the early stage will be wasted!

Xu Lei remained silent, hesitated for a moment, and then took a long breath and said: "I am too confident in this project. Don't worry, I will not follow up on this project again."

He knew he could only stop the loss in time.

If you follow up later and collect the 8000 million, it is very likely that you will get nothing!

"You! During this period, you should hand over the company's affairs first, and I will let Mr. Cheng take charge temporarily. You go and relax!"

Xu Chunzhong sighed, waved his hand, and signaled Xu Lei to leave quickly with an impatient look on his face.

Xu Lei stood up without saying a word, turned around and walked out of the villa living room.

"elder brother!"

Yu Manni shouted, looked back at Xu Chunzhong, hesitated, and then chased after him.

Xu Chunzhong looked at the leaving brothers and sisters and sighed, the frown on his face never letting go.

After the two of them walked for a while, a middle-aged woman in her forties came out of the kitchen behind the villa.

Behind the woman was a teenage boy.

"Go, find your dad!"

The woman glanced at the boy and said to him.

This woman is Xu Chunzhong's second wife and Xu Lei's stepmother.

The young man moved reluctantly and walked to Xu Chunzhong.

"Dad, don't be angry! Brother didn't mean it."

Hearing his son's voice, Xu Chunzhong forced a smile and reached out to pull the boy down to sit on the sofa.

"Dad is not angry!"

There was a hint of warmth and affection in his eyes.

"Okay, Xiaojie, go study, I have something to talk to your dad about!"

The middle-aged woman waited for Xu Chunzhong to chat with her son for a while, then she said something and sent her son away.

"Xu Lei was a little aggressive this time, and you are too angry!"

As soon as her son Xiaojie left, the middle-aged woman sat on one side of the sofa and poured Xu Chunzhong a cup of tea.

Xu Chunzhong glanced at his wife beside him and said gloomily:

"I'm not angry that he lost money. In business, there are losses and profits. What I'm angry about is that he never discussed such a big matter with me from beginning to end! Does he still consider me as his father?"

"When children are older, they always have their own ideas. Haven't you already handed over the property to Xu Lei to take care of it? Why are you angry now?"

The woman said with some meaning in her words.

"Leave it to him, forget it, let him rest for a while. I wanted to be at home peacefully with Xiaojie taking the high school entrance exam..."

Xu Chunzhong shook his head and sighed.

"Xiaojie has me, it's okay, but Xu Lei is so aggressive this time, I think you should mention him more in the future, just in case he..."

The middle-aged woman's eyes flashed, and she said with a concerned expression on her face.

"Okay, I understand. Xiaojie, you have to hurry up and study. Xu Lei is just what I am used to. If you don't say anything, I will go out."

Xu Chunzhong looked at the middle-aged woman and stood up.

The middle-aged woman's face suddenly stiffened when she heard this, and she was slightly annoyed, but soon the annoyance flashed away and turned into a smile.

"Go ahead, don't be angry!"

"Um!"

Xu Chunzhong hummed, got up and left the villa, then drove to another community.

Ten minutes later, Xu Chunzhong rang the doorbell of a residence.

Soon a graceful woman in her early twenties opened the door with a smile.

"Honey, why are you free here?"

"Ok!"

Xu Chunzhong did not answer, and entered the room with a grunt.

After a while, a happy voice came from inside.

……

On the other side, Xu Lei and Yu Manni left the villa together and drove to the foot of Qianfo Mountain.

The two of them climbed aimlessly on the steps at the foot of the mountain.

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

"What should I do? Cold salad, the project must have gone bankrupt, and I don't have the funds to invest in it..."

"I know! I mean Lao Xu asked you not to worry about the company's affairs..."

Yu Manni hesitated for a moment, then asked aloud.

"Xiaojie is getting older too..."

Xu Lei smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at his sister, and said with some discomfort: "Actually, I don't want to make much money. As long as our family stays together, it's better than anything else!"

"elder brother!"

Yu Manni looked at Xu Lei with some emotion.

She knew what her brother meant. As her second brother Xiaojie grew older, her stepmother's thoughts must have become more active.

What my brother did this time was indeed too big. The company suffered serious losses. The two properties and vehicles in my brother's hands have already been mortgaged.

Although the loan has not expired yet, if Lao Xu does not sell part of the property and turn around after it expires, he will definitely not be able to pay it back.

"It's okay, brother. I still have a live broadcast company and a villa. Although I don't make much, but if we stick to it for a while, I believe you will be able to make a comeback. We won't go back to that home."

"Don't say such things. It's my own fault and has nothing to do with Lao Xu and the others. Come on, go hiking with me."

"Ok!"

After the two of them finished speaking, they strode towards the top of the mountain.

Thousand Buddha Mountain is not high, but it is famous for the many Buddha statues in the mountain.

While walking along the way, looking at the many Buddha statues with different postures and lifelike expressions, Xu Lei began to think about what he had done during this time.

It's not that I'm too aggressive when I'm young, but I've lost some of my composure.

This is probably the so-called disaster!

Just when he was filled with emotion, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Xu Lei lowered his head and saw that it was Wang Shen calling.

He picked up the phone casually.

"where?"

Wang Shen's familiar voice came from the phone.

"Where are you? Are you back from the United States?"

"Well, I just came back. Where are you? Let's meet."

"Climb Thousand Buddha Mountain with my sister! You set an address and I will come over to find you."

"No, let's go to Qianfo Mountain. I haven't climbed it for a long time!"

The two said a few words and hung up the phone.

"Wang Shen's?"

"Well, he'll be here soon, let's wait."

"Brother, does he know that you were cheated?"

"I probably don't know. I haven't told him. He has been very busy recently."

"I, will he still pay attention to us now?..."

Yu Manni was a little bit speechless. Her brother had lost money in business. She usually lived a comfortable life relying on her brother. She only knew about love and never thought about anything else.

It was then that she suddenly realized how far apart she was from Wang Shen. Maybe they would be from two different societies in the future.
