Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

Huaiyang private restaurant!

It is located near Chaoyang 798 Art District, less than ten minutes' walk from Summit Media.

This place is dedicated to providing services to the film, television and media companies in the park. It basically receives senior executives from major companies or second-rate and above celebrities. Ordinary people can't even get in the door.

Celebrities and company executives often visit here, so there's no need to say much about confidentiality. The dining environment is in private rooms, so even if they're singing or having a party inside, no sound can be heard from outside.

"Mr. Wu, I've arranged a Huai Xiang Pavilion for you. If you're not satisfied, I'll change it for you immediately!" Seeing a group of people coming in, led by the very popular Wu Jing, the lobby manager immediately came over to greet them.

But just as he finished speaking, he saw two people talking and laughing behind Wu Jing. When he saw that one of them was Lei Jun, the CEO of Xiaomi, his whole brain seemed to crash.

They never expected that such a big shot would come to their Huaiyang restaurant!

Wu Jing naturally noticed the lobby manager's misconduct. He often came here to find guests and was familiar with the lobby manager, so he reached out and poked the lobby manager in the waist.

Feeling a slight pain in his waist, the lobby manager immediately came to his senses and gave Wu Jing a look of gratitude.

"Let's go to Huaixiang Pavilion. I know the way, so I won't bother you. Tell the kitchen staff to move faster. The guests coming today are all distinguished guests!"

After Wu Jing finished speaking, she didn't care about the lobby manager's expression. She turned around with a smile and gestured to Su Chen and Lei Jun to invite them. Then she took the elevator and went straight to the third floor!
The entire Huaiyang Private Restaurant has only three floors. If it were the old Wu Jing, before she became famous, she would only dine on the second floor at most. The third floor is for those media company leaders or top stars.

Watching the elevator door close, the lobby manager gave some instructions to the receptionist and hurried towards the kitchen. He wanted to give the kitchen a thorough explanation to avoid any mistakes.

He now realized that how could someone who could chat and laugh with Xiaomi Lei be a simple person?

"Chef Li, please prepare the dishes for Huai Xiang Pavilion yourself. The guests coming today are not simple!" The lobby manager came to the kitchen and found the restaurant's executive chef, Chef Li, who had participated in the preparation of state banquets.

Chef Li, who was inspecting the kitchen, frowned slightly when he heard the lobby manager's words, and said unhappily, "What do you mean the guest is not simple? Why didn't I receive a call from the boss notifying me in advance?"

"Also... this is the kitchen, don't just barge in here rashly. If anything unexpected happens, who will be held responsible? As the lobby manager, don't you know the rules?"

The expression on the lobby manager's face kept changing from bright to dark. If you didn't know better, you would think he was practicing Sichuan Opera face-changing.

As long as it is in the catering industry, no matter what kind of restaurant it is, the relationship between the front desk reception and the kitchen is always tense due to poor communication, differences in work intensity and unclear responsibilities.

This is also the reason why Chef Li didn't like the lobby manager very much when he heard what he had arranged.

The lobby manager did not argue with Chef Li. He immediately took out his cell phone and called the boss. Seeing this, Chef Li frowned slightly, wondering if some precious guest had really come.

But Chef Li didn't think he had done anything wrong and he just followed the procedures.

The call was quickly connected, and a deep, lazy voice came from the other end, "Manager Yang, what's the matter?"

The lobby manager, whom the boss called Manager Yang, quickly briefly explained the private room Wu Jing had booked, as well as Lei Jun and the mysterious young man who were traveling with him.

"Lei Jun? Are you talking about the Lei Jun from Xiaomi?" The boss' voice immediately rose eight degrees, and even Chef Li who was standing next to him heard it.

"Yes, it's Mr. Lei. I know this guy!" Manager Li said with certainty.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, but the faint sound of heavy breathing showed that his boss was not calm.

"Manager Yang, please notify the kitchen staff and ask Chef Li to cook the dishes himself to ensure that the dishes are the best. Also... there is a bottle of Romanee-Conti 1997 in my office cabinet. Please deliver it to the private room for me. And please say hello to Mr. Lei... and that gentleman!"

Being able to open such a top-notch private restaurant in the 798 Art District shows that he has some awareness. Lei Jun’s appearance in such an occasion is definitely not because of Wu Jing. After all, he is not qualified enough.

That could only be the young man who was chatting and laughing with Lei Jun. Regardless of whether his guess was right or not, he still had to show proper etiquette and give them a piece of meat. But if he didn't do so, he would have offended a mysterious boss unknowingly.

"Understood, Boss. I'll inform Chef Li right away! I'll also take care of your kindness!" Manager Yang had a faint smile on his face, no longer looking like he was practicing Sichuan Opera face-changing.

After hanging up the phone, Manager Yang was not too proud. He turned to look at Chef Li and said seriously, "Chef Li, you heard what the boss said just now. I'll leave the dishes to you!"

"I understand!" Chef Li nodded to show that he understood, then turned and walked into the kitchen. A moment later, a roar was heard, "Everyone, pay attention, there are several VIPs in the restaurant. If any dish goes wrong, take off your clothes and leave!"

Manager Yang, who had just turned around to leave, smiled even more brightly when he heard this, and his steps became lighter.

……

"Hurry, hurry, make the tea!" As soon as he entered the private room, Lei Jun immediately arranged for his assistant to make the Eighteen Teas of the Imperial Palace that he had brought from the office.

When the assistant carried the teapot to the tea room, the corners of his mouth twitched. If Lei Jun had not told him before how precious this tea was, he would have thought that his boss was crazy.

Just think about it, the boss of Xiaomi Group, which has a market value of hundreds of billions, actually took the teapot from someone else just to have a sip of tea. If this were to get out, he would be embarrassed to say that he was Lei Jun's assistant.

There was hot water in the private room. When the assistant poured the hot water into the teapot and the aroma of tea filled the air, he finally understood why Mr. Lei would do such a thing.

Being able to become Lei Jun's assistant, naturally, she has more or less studied the tea ceremony. In addition, she often goes to various occasions with Lei Jun and has smelled a lot of tea fragrance. However, compared with what she has in front of her, it is at least one level lower.

Wu Jing, who hadn't been able to taste the tea before, craned her neck to look towards the tea room, hoping that Lei Jun's assistant would bring out the tea quickly.

The assistant did not disappoint and soon came out with a teapot and cups, pouring a cup for Su Chen, Lei Jun and Wu Jing.

"Would you like a drink?" The assistant looked at Fade Chen who was standing beside him, and quickly walked to his side, whispering.

Chen Fei was slightly stunned. He did not expect that this assistant was so enthusiastic and actually came to ask him questions. He smiled and waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I drink with my husband often. No need to bother!"

The assistant was petrified upon hearing this. He looked at Chen Fei with his mouth open in astonishment, and immediately felt as if his world had collapsed.

They all work as high-class slaves, but why is it that he has a different fate? He also wants to drink such top-quality tea often.

If the assistant knew that Chen Fei still had cigarettes in his pocket that even Lei Jun was jealous of, I wonder how he would feel.

"Hiss~ The second brew of this Imperial Eighteen Trees is indeed more mellow and fragrant than the first, and it is also smoother when you drink it." After taking a sip of the cup, Lei Jun exclaimed with a look of satisfaction.

Su Chen just took a sip and smiled without saying anything. As for Wu Jing, he was already attracted by the tea in his hand. After taking a sip, he closed his eyes and slowly felt it.

Lei Jun poured himself another glass, but he didn't drink it. After looking at Su Chen, he changed the subject and said, "Mr. Su, there is something I want to ask you for your advice."

"Hmm?" Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and responded: "I don't know what Mr. Lei wants to ask, just say whatever you want to say!"

Just as Lei Jun was about to speak, he saw the assistant standing beside him and immediately gave him a look, "Xiao Chen, go ask the kitchen staff how long it will take to serve the food!"

Assistant Chen opened the door and walked out without any hesitation after hearing this. Chen Fei, who had been standing quietly beside Su Chen, also followed him out.

Chen Fei also understood what Lei Jun meant. It was better to know less about such things.

This made Wu Jing very distressed. Seeing Chen Fei and Assistant Chen having already walked out of the private room, Wu Jing didn't know whether to leave or not. She could only look at Lei Jun and ask for his opinion.

"Haha~ Mr. Wu, we are all one family, there's no need to be so formal!" Lei Jun saw the look Wu Jing gave him and smiled and waved his hand.

Then the smile on his face faded a lot. "Mr. Su, you used chip technology to trade those dozens of ports with the Li Group before. I was thinking about taking advantage of the opportunity that the Li Group has not yet developed the chip and buying some of the Li Group's stocks."

"When they develop a 10nm chip, the shares of the Lee Group will definitely soar, and we will be able to make a lot of money."

Wu Jing, who was standing by, was so shocked when she heard what Lei Jun said that she grabbed her thighs tightly with both hands, trying hard not to show any strange expression on her face.

There was no way, the news was too explosive, if it got out, it would cause a big sensation. Even though Wu Jing was in the entertainment industry, he had heard that Xiaxin International had independently developed the world's top 10nm chip, but now he heard Lei Jun say that this technology had been sold to the Li Group. How could he digest this information?

I could only lower my head and act like an ostrich, pretending that I didn't exist and hadn't heard anything Lei Jun said.

When Su Chen heard this, a playful smile appeared on his face, and a few fingers of his right hand tapped on the table rhythmically, making crisp "dong dong" sounds.

"If this is what you are talking about, Mr. Lei, I suggest you not get involved. The waters here are very deep and it's not something you, Mr. Lei, or Xiaomi can afford to play with." Su Chen's calm voice sounded in the private room.

But these words were like a bolt of thunder in the ears of Lei Jun and Wu Jing, and they looked at Su Chen with confusion on their faces.

Wu Jing was shocked. After all, Xiaomi's size made it one of the top companies in China. How come it didn't even have the qualifications to sit at the table for dinner?

Lei Jun was different. He immediately realized that there must be something else he didn't know. Considering that the chip technology was sold by the company under Su Chen's name, he immediately understood, "Mr. Su, have you already ended up here? Or is your deal with the Li Group a trap you set for them?"

This is not something Lei Jun said nonsense. Think about it... having the most advanced chip technology in the world is simply a tool for making continuous money.

But for the sake of dozens of ports, Su Chen traded the chip technology so easily. If there was no inside story, Lei Jun would never believe it.

Su Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said with a smile: "It's not a trap as you said. The transaction... is something that we both agree to. However... as for the bargain hunting you mentioned, I have already done it a long time ago!"

"I'm not the only one keeping an eye on the Li Group. Dozens of ports they use for transactions have been targeted by the Black Rock Group...or the Morgan Family!"

"After they learned about the port deal, the eldest son of the Morgan family personally flew to Seoul, South Korea. When he learned that the Lee Group had 10nm chip technology, he also wanted to get a piece of the pie. He is still staying in South Korea now!"

Su Chen finished speaking in one breath, took another sip of tea to moisten his dry throat, and quietly looked at Lei Jun and Wu Jing who were shocked and dazed.

This was too much of a shock for them.

BlackRock Group and the Morgan Family are both the world's top chaebol groups. Compared with them, Xiaomi is indeed, as Su Chen said before, not even qualified to sit at the table for dinner.

"Hey, I was thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, but it seems that I thought too simply." Lei Jun laughed at himself. He was still complacent about this idea before.

Looking back now, I was just a clown.

"Alas~ That's not the way I put it. The fact that you can think of this is already better than many people. What's more..." Su Chen paused deliberately. Sure enough, when Lei Jun heard this turn of events, he instantly cast his gaze over.

Even Wu Jing, who was standing aside and was quite shocked, looked at Su Chen with a hint of excitement, secretly wondering in his heart, could there be an opportunity that he could take advantage of here?
Looking at the expressions of the two people, Su Chen smiled a little more.

Seeing that Su Chen was still not saying anything, Lei Jun, who was waiting impatiently, could not help but ask: "Mr. Su, what's more, don't keep us in suspense. Our hearts are like a roller coaster, we are almost scared to death!"

"Hahaha!" Looking at Lei Jun's anxious look, Su Chen couldn't help laughing and waved his hand to signal him not to be so anxious.

"I can't tell you about this for now, in case there are any mistakes that affect my harvesting plan. You just need to gather the liquid funds in the company's account, and I will take care of you when the time comes!"

After saying that, Su Chen looked at Wu Jing next to him and said, "You too, gather the funds in your hands, but... don't think about mortgaging your house, taking out loans, etc. Just make some money, don't be too greedy!"

These words seemed to be spoken to Wu Jing, but they were also spoken to Lei Jun.

Wu Jing hadn't expected that she would be included in the list. She stood up in an instant, picked up the teacup on the table, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Su, for the promotion!"

Su Chen waved his hand calmly and said jokingly, "What's the point of promoting or not promoting? We call this common prosperity!"

After that, three bursts of laughter suddenly rang out in the room.

"Knock knock knock~" The crisp knock on the door interrupted the conversation between Su Chen and the other two.

The door was opened, and Fade Chen stood at the door and asked, "Sir, is the lobby manager here to ask if we can serve the food?"

"Come on, we have finished talking about our business!"

Fade Chen nodded, then opened the door of the private room wide, waved to the outside, and walked to Wu Jing's left side with Assistant Chen and sat down.

The waiter came in carrying steaming dishes. In a short while, more than ten delicious dishes were placed on the table, all of which were specialties of Huaiyang cuisine.

Manager Yang, who was walking at the back, came to Lei Jun and Su Chen holding a bottle of Romanee-Conti.

"Gentlemen, this is a little gift from our boss, Romanee-Conti 1997. Please enjoy your meal!" Manager Yang was also a sly man. He didn't know the distinguished person in the private room, so he just called him "Sir" to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Looking at the red wine in front of them, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Chen and Lei Jun's eyes. They didn't expect that the owner of this private restaurant would be so bold as to give away red wine worth two hundred thousand.

"Please thank your boss for my and Mr. Lei's kindness. We will accept the wine!" Su Chen would naturally not refuse the kindness specially sent by others. That would be a slap in the other person's face.

When Manager Yang heard that it was Su Chen who replied, he was immediately shocked. He now understood that the most distinguished person in this private room was the young man in front of him.

After respectfully pouring red wine for Su Chen and the others, he said, "Please enjoy your meal," and quickly left the private room.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Lei, please try the crab meat stew. It is the signature dish of this restaurant. It can be said to be among the top three Huaiyang dishes in the imperial capital!" As the host, Wu Jing had to step forward and introduce it.

Su Chen didn't hesitate to pick up the chopsticks and started to taste it. The taste of the crab meat lion head made Su Chen's eyes light up. It was indeed much better than what he had eaten before.

"Yes, this crab meat lion's head is really delicious! Why are you still standing there? There is no outsider in this room, so why bother talking about etiquette? Just do it!"

As Su Chen spoke, he began to eat with big mouthfuls. Seeing this, Lei Jun also let go of his restraint and picked up the chopsticks to start eating.

For a moment, there was no distinction of position among the people in the room. They were just a group of diners who were passionate about food.

……

"Wow~ I'm so full! It's been a while since I've eaten as much as I did today. I feel really satisfied!" Lei Jun leaned back in his chair, touching his bulging belly and sighed.

Su Chen was no exception. Like Lei Jun, he leaned back in his chair with his eyes slightly squinted, and was obviously very satisfied with his meal.

"Xiao Fei, let me have your bag!" Su Chen suddenly thought of something and called out to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei immediately stood up and walked to Su Chen with his bag.

There are a lot of good things in this bag, such as some cigarettes and tea taken from Mr. Xiao, just in case.

Su Chen fumbled in his bag for a few seconds and took out a stack of gold cards, which were Tianque's gold membership cards.

After thinking for a while, he took out membership cards numbered five and nineteen and handed them to Lei Jun and Wu Jing respectively.

"This is the membership card of the private banquet club under my name. It is not open to the public and entry is only by membership card. The chefs are all state banquet-level chefs, and they serve all eight major cuisines!" Su Chen also knew that Lei Jun and the others did not know the purpose of this gold membership card, so he made a special effort to introduce it.

After hearing this, Lei Jun and Wu Jing's eyes lit up. They certainly understood the value of this gold membership card, and they carefully put the card away.

"Mr. Su, how about visiting the company headquarters this afternoon and inspecting the work?" After putting the membership card away, Lei Jun made an invitation to Su Chen.

"Xiaomi headquarters? Forget it. I don't want to be a conspicuous bag and be looked at by countless people with curious eyes. I'd better go home and take an afternoon nap. It will be more comfortable!"

"Okay, if you are interested in the future, you are always welcome to come to Xiaomi headquarters to inspect our work!" Lei Jun did not force it. He knew that Su Chen was a man of his word and it would be useless to force him.

After sitting in the private room and chatting for half an hour, the group left the private restaurant talking and laughing after almost finishing the third cup of Yuqian Shibashu. (End of this chapter)
