After the divorce, I became a mountain god

The houses in the suburbs of Jiangcheng have been sitting there for many years, and no one has tried to buy them during that time. This suggests that even the bigwigs in Jiangcheng don't think that area has any investment value.

However, Brother Xu had the foresight to seize the opportunity and generously helped Qu Feifan and the others make money together, which shows that Brother Xu is a very generous person!

If he had been the one to cling to Xu Bo'an's coattails first, then this good fortune would never have fallen into the hands of Qu Feifan and his group. Now, Xu Ming deeply regrets not having clung to Xu Bo'an's coattails sooner, and thinks he must be even more respectful to Xu Bo'an in the future!
Xu Ming simply disliked Qu Feifan's show-off attitude in front of him, which he found extremely distasteful. Moreover, his teammate had deliberately brought this up, which only made things worse for him!

Xu Ming looked at the person who had spoken earlier and said irritably, "You're the one who talks too much. Didn't I know that Jixiang Real Estate was mine before? If you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth!"

Seeing Xu Ming's angry and embarrassed expression, Qu Feifan looked at him with a happy smile and said, "Xu Ming, what they said is right. That second-hand property was yours before. What they said is true. Why are you throwing a tantrum? What kind of older brother are you?"

Upon hearing Qu Feifan's words, the group burst into laughter in perfect unison. While laughing, they seized the opportunity to say to the young man who had spoken to Xu Ming earlier, "We got to know such a powerful figure as Brother Xu by following Young Master Qu, and he's helping us make money. Look at you guys following Young Master Xu, you've gained nothing and you even get scolded by him. Tsk tsk, it's just too miserable!"

The purpose of Qu Feifan's people saying this to those who usually hang out with Xu Shao was to provoke their relationship. How could Xu Ming not understand that?

Xu Ming looked angrily at Qu Feifan and the group of people who followed Qu Feifan and said, "Qu Feifan, you called me here today just to humiliate me, didn't you? You even made me bring my brothers so that I would lose face in front of them, is that it?"
Trying to sow discord among us brothers? Ha! Let me tell you, that's impossible. Even if you manage to sway some of them, it will only help me eliminate the cancer in the ranks. How can those who truly want to follow me be swayed by your few words?
You did make a lot of money buying houses, but was that due to your own abilities? Didn't you earn it by following someone as capable as Brother Xu? It's as if you have that ability all of a sudden! That's laughable!

Qu Feifan said to Xu Ming, quite unconvinced, "I admit I made this money by following Brother Xu, but so what? Why didn't you buy with Brother Xu back then? Wasn't it because you weren't as smart as me and didn't realize that Brother Xu was a very capable person? Whose fault is that!"
But I'm different. I saw how capable Brother Xu was a long time ago, which is why I completely trusted him and bought the shares with him. This also proves that my abilities are stronger than yours, because I'm better at judging people!

Although Qu Feifan was defending himself in front of Xu Ming, there was absolutely nothing wrong with what he said. He was indeed very close to Xu Bo'an before Xu Ming met him, which proves that Qu Feifan has a discerning eye!

What Xu Ming didn't know was that Qu Feifan only noticed Xu Bo'an under a specific circumstances. It was when Qu Feifan led everyone in a race on the mountain that he accidentally witnessed Xu Bo'an's prowess and began to befriend him. After getting to know him, he discovered that Xu Bo'an's abilities far exceeded his expectations, which is why he started to cling tightly to Xu Bo'an's coattails.

This doesn't prove that Qu Feifan has better eyesight than Xu Ming; it just means that Qu Feifan was luckier than Xu Ming and witnessed Xu Bo'an's prowess earlier, which gave Qu Feifan the opportunity to expose Xu Bo'an to Xu Ming today.

Previously, whenever the two made any moves, although everyone didn't compete openly, they knew that they were both secretly holding their own against each other. However, after several previous secret competitions, the two were almost evenly matched.

But this time, Qu Feifan had pulled far ahead of him, which made Xu Ming extremely uncomfortable. However, everything Qu Feifan said was true, and Xu Ming couldn't think of any words to refute it. He looked at Qu Feifan, suppressing his displeasure, and said to him calmly, "You won this time!"

Qu Feifan smiled happily after hearing Xu Ming's words and said to Xu Ming, "Hey, that's more like it. Losing is losing, you have to face reality!"

Xu Ming said to Qu Feifan, "You must have achieved your real purpose in inviting me to dinner this time, right? Now that you've shown off enough, let's have a good meal and not let our grudges affect Brother Xu!"

After hearing Xu Ming's words, Qu Feifan stopped arguing with him. After all, Brother Xu was still there, and everyone was waiting to enjoy the delicious food at the hotel. It was fine for him and Xu Ming to show off, but they should know when to stop. Otherwise, if they continued to fight like this, it would not only affect everyone's meal, but it would also affect Xu Bo'an's mood.

Sitting in the main seat, Xu Bo'an remained unmoved by the struggle between Qu Feifan and Xu Ming. He had a good relationship with Qu Feifan and a decent relationship with Xu Ming as well. He wouldn't deliberately favor either side, since both were wealthy second-generation heirs from Jiangcheng City, and he would need their help in the future.

Qu Feifan and Xu Ming saw Xu Bo'an's outstanding abilities and wanted to make money with him, while Xu Bo'an thought that befriending these rich second-generation heirs would make things easier for him when he encountered problems in Jiangcheng in the future.

To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of everyone getting what they need! So what happened between the two of them won't affect Xu Bo'an in the slightest. Qu Feifan's boasting to Xu Ming about how he made money buying houses with him is also a way of showing them Xu Bo'an's strength, which Xu Bo'an certainly won't mind.

Everyone present looked at Xu Bo'an with great admiration!
Seeing that the dishes on the table were almost finished, Xu Bo'an invited everyone to try the hotel's new dishes. He raised his glass to Qu Feifan and the group of rich kids and said, "You've been busy with me these past two days in Jiangcheng, and I want to express my gratitude. Please enjoy yourselves today; it's my way of thanking you all!"

Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Qu Feifan said to him, "Brother Xu, you're being too polite. You and your brothers have made so much money; what's the little favor we did for you?"

Hearing Qu Feifan's words, the other brothers chimed in, "Yes, Brother Xu, what we did to help you was nothing. You don't need to be so polite. If you need anything in the future, just let us know, and we'll be there right away!"

Seeing Qu Feifan express his support to Xu Bo'an, Xu Ming, who was standing to the side, couldn't be outdone and said to Xu Bo'an, "That's right, Brother Xu. Most of us are native to Jiangcheng and we know this place very well. If you ever need anything when you come to Jiangcheng, just come to us. Our brothers here will follow your lead and be at your beck and call!"

Xu Bo'an could tell that although Xu Ming and Qu Feifan didn't get along, what they said to him was very sincere!

Xu Bo'an said to the two of them, "Then I thank you both here! Come on, let's have a drink!"

After speaking, everyone raised their glasses and drank together. After finishing their drinks, they watched as Xu Bo'an sat down before taking their seats. Xu Ming and Qu Feifan, who were sitting on either side of Xu Bo'an, started serving him food.

Xu Bo'an smiled and said to the two of them, "I've already tasted all the dishes at the hotel, so you two just need to enjoy your meal today!"

Qu Feifan and Xu Ming said, "Brother Xu, since you put it that way, then we won't stand on ceremony!"

The two then began to serve themselves food and savor the meal, praising the authentic taste of the dishes at Xu Bo'an Hotel!
When the last dish, truffle and lingzhi pigeon soup, was served, everyone's eyes widened. They knew this was the signature dish of Xu Bo'an's hotel, and that the ingredients used in the dish were all highly nutritious, especially the wild lingzhi, which was said to have a great tonic effect.

Xu Bo'an introduced the soup to everyone: "This truffle and Ganoderma lucidum pigeon soup is the signature dish of our hotel. The Ganoderma lucidum in it is wild Ganoderma lucidum that I specially asked a friend of mine to get for me. It is extremely nutritious, not only very nourishing to the body, but also tastes very delicious! Everyone, please have a taste!"

After Xu Bo'an finished speaking, Qu Feifan said, "Brother Xu, I tasted this truffle and lingzhi pigeon soup once before at Brother Lin's Royal Dynasty Hotel. The taste was so delicious that I couldn't stop thinking about it! I'm so lucky to be able to drink it again today!"

Xu Bo'an said, "This truffle and lingzhi pigeon soup should be drunk while it's hot to maintain its original freshness. Drink it quickly, or it will get cold. I believe you will have a refreshing experience after drinking it!"

After listening to Xu Bo'an's words, Qu Feifan smiled and said to Xu Bo'an, "Brother Xu, what you said is making my mouth water. Then I won't be polite!"

After speaking, he took the spoon from the soup, served Xu Bo'an a bowl first, and then served himself a bowl. He then sat down and began to taste the delicious soup. As soon as Qu Feifan put a spoonful of soup into his mouth, he felt the warmth of the soup spread quickly from the tip of his tongue to his throat, instantly dispelling the chill in his body, and his whole body relaxed.

The gelatinous substance released by the wild Ganoderma lucidum blends perfectly with the oil of the pigeon meat, making it very smooth and flowing naturally without chewing. Then, Qu Feifan felt the unique woody aroma of the wild Ganoderma lucidum slowly rising from the back of his tongue. After drinking the soup completely, the fresh aroma of truffles lingered on the tip of his tongue, like a lingering melody, making Qu Feifan close his eyes to savor the taste. Then, Qu Feifan felt a warm current spreading from his stomach to his limbs.

The refreshing feeling made Qu Feifan exclaim in amazement, giving Xu Bo'an a thumbs up and praising, "Brother Xu, this soup is absolutely amazing! It's many times more delicious than the truffle and lingzhi pigeon soup I had at the Royal Dynasty Hotel last time!"

Xu Bo'an said, "Since you think it tastes good, then drink more!"

Qu Feifan nodded repeatedly after hearing Xu Bo'an's words, and then drank several more bowls before he was finally satisfied!

The others, hearing Qu Feifan talking to Xu Bo'an, assumed he was deliberately flattering Xu Bo'an. However, after they tasted the soup, they realized that what Qu Feifan had said was true and not flattering at all. The truffle and lingzhi pigeon soup was simply too delicious!
Everyone drank several bowls in one go, and only stopped when they saw that the soup in the pot was empty.

Qu Feifan asked Xu Bo'an again, "Brother Xu, how did your hotel manage to make this truffle and lingzhi pigeon soup so delicious?"

Xu Bo'an smiled and said to Qu Feifan, "Good taste requires good ingredients, and of course, a chef with superb culinary skills. We use only the finest ingredients, especially the Ganoderma lucidum, which is a top-grade wild variety. The chef was brought in from Kyoto, so the soup will naturally taste amazing!"

Qu Feifan said to Xu Bo'an, "No wonder this soup tastes so delicious and tempting. With such a great signature dish, I predict that your hotel will be very popular very soon!"

Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words! But this soup is very nourishing. I see you drank so much, don't you feel anything unusual?"

Qu Feifan looked at Xu Bo'an and said with a slightly embarrassed smile, "Brother Xu, this soup is just too delicious. I couldn't resist. Please don't laugh at me!"

After saying that, Qu Feifan felt a wet sensation in his nose. He picked up a tissue and wiped it casually, then saw that the area on the tissue was stained red. Only then did Qu Feifan realize that he had a nosebleed!
Xu Ming, standing to the side, burst into laughter at Qu Feifan's expression, saying with a smug look, "Young Master Qu, you've probably overdone it, hahaha, looks like you'll have to let loose tonight!"

The rich kids who were with Xu Ming also laughed unrestrainedly when they looked at Qu Feifan. They all said at once, "Hahaha, it looks like Young Master Qu's girlfriend is going to be in trouble tonight!"

"Oh, wait, it seems like Young Master Qu doesn't have a girlfriend yet! Hahaha..."

"Being single? Isn't that even worse?"

"Look at what you're saying! Young Master Qu is a womanizer; he may lack girlfriends, but he's certainly not short of women!" (End of Chapter)
