Chapter 291 Popular items

Faced with the warm invitation from Sister Hong and her son, Zhang Wen finally chose to stay.

On the one hand, he did promise Sister Hong yesterday that they could have dinner together if they had the chance; on the other hand, Sister Hong was also his benefactor. If she had not taken him to attend Old Lady Zhou's birthday party, he would not have met Old Lady Zhou, let alone received a "big order" of 200 million from the Zhou family.

If he had the chance, he would also like to accompany Sister Hong to attend birthday parties of other old men and women.

Yang Yuhong pulled her brother into the villa and pressed him down on the sofa. In order to prevent him from leaving without saying goodbye like last time, she decided not to go anywhere tonight and stayed with her brother until he had eaten his fill.

Of course, thanking the other party for taking care of Xiaodi was only one aspect. On the other hand, she also wanted to talk to the other party about something else.

"Xiao Zhao, serve the food." Yang Yuhong instructed the nanny.

"Yes." After hearing this, the nanny immediately walked into the kitchen and brought the food prepared by the private chef to the dining table.

Soon, ten dishes were placed on the table. Not only were they exquisitely presented, but they were also very rich. There were dry-fried grouper, lotus root cakes with foie gras, raw baked king crab in casserole, black truffle and abalone stewed with native chicken, etc. The fragrance could be smelled from a long distance away.

"Madam, dinner is ready." The nanny came over and said.

"Ah."

Yang Yuhong nodded, looked at her adopted brother beside her and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go eat, how about I let you taste my cooking skills."

Zhang Wen stood up and followed Sister Hong to the restaurant. Looking at the table full of dishes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. When he turned to look at Sister Hong, his face was full of disbelief, as if asking: Did you make all this?
As if she had guessed what her brother was thinking, Yang Yuhong pointed to a soup pot and said, "This is the soup I made for you. The others are all made by my private chef."

Zhang Wen showed an understanding look and said, "Sister Hong, your soup looks delicious. It's on par with the dishes made by private chefs. It really lives up to the saying: 'You can handle both the living room and the kitchen.' You are truly a role model for women."

When Yang Yuhong heard this, she immediately smiled from ear to ear. She was so happy and beamed with joy.

As a billionaire boss, she personally served a bowl of soup in front of her brother.

"Brother, come and try the soup I made."

Zhang Wen directly picked up the bowl, scooped a spoonful of soup and put it into his mouth. It was called soup, but it was actually a pot of simple home-made Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. It had a delicate and smooth taste at first, and then the rich and mellow taste bloomed on the taste buds. It tasted very fresh and sweet.

Eating the ingredients inside, the sea cucumber is soft and glutinous, the shark fin is soft and delicate, and the abalone is refreshing and chewy...

"How is it?" Yang Yuhong asked expectantly.

"It's delicious and tasty!" Zhang Wen nodded heavily, and to show that it was really delicious, he drank all the soup in the bowl in one breath.

As long as this kind of soup is made with real ingredients, the taste will be good.

"I'm glad you like it. Give me another bowl." Yang Yuhong was very happy and served another bowl to her brothers.

"Uncle, this fish is also delicious, you try it." Sun Di said attentively.

"..."

Song Yixin looked at the enthusiastic expressions of Aunt Yang and Sun Di, and for a moment she felt the chair under her butt was very hot. She seemed so redundant in such a scene.

She is now completely invisible and no one cares about her at all.

so awkward!
If she had known this man would come, she would not have come tonight.

"Thank you, you guys eat too." Zhang Wen said while eating.

"Yeah." Yang Yuhong sat down, picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of food, then started chatting about her son. "Xiao Di said you found a top music producer to coach him. Will that cause you any trouble?"

"Are you talking about Wang Qi? No, I often work with her and we have a good relationship." Zhang Wen said this and looked at Sun Di. "Teacher Wang is a person who has a cold appearance but a warm heart. She takes her work very seriously. As long as you have the right attitude, she will teach you a lot."

"Uncle, don't worry. I will study hard with her and listen to her. If she points east, I will definitely not go west. If she asks me to beat a dog, I will definitely not chase a chicken." Sun Di straightened up and patted his chest to make the promise.

"Can you really do it? She is a workaholic. You saw it this morning. She has been in the company for three days for Tang Yi's new album. Can you stick with it?" Zhang Wen asked.

He said the ugly words first to prevent the other party from complaining and putting the blame on him or Wang Qi.

Although the other party had just sworn in confidence, he didn't think the other party could endure this hardship.

"Yes! Not to mention three days, if I can stay with Teacher Wang to study, even staying in the company for a week will be no problem." Sun Di said.

Whether it is staying up late or reversing day and night, he is very good at it. He can go to the bar and party all night, and stay in the Internet cafe for a week.

Song Yixin on the side lowered her head and curled her lips, her eyes full of disbelief.

She and Sun Di have known each other for ten years. How could she not know what kind of person he is?

They lack perseverance in doing things and are often enthusiastic for only a short period of time. They set goals with great enthusiasm at the beginning, but after a few days of persistence, they will be defeated by endless excuses.

Like a gust of wind, it comes quickly and goes quickly.

She still remembered that when he was a child, he wanted to be a painter, but after taking three classes, he changed his ideal because he couldn't sit still.

Although he later fell in love with music and attended a music school, she knew that he had skipped classes a lot while abroad...

persist in?

Pooh!
Of course, as a friend, she would definitely not sabotage him at this time. She would just let him pretend for a while, because his true colors would be revealed soon anyway.

"Okay, we'll see how you perform later." Zhang Wen said, "If you don't do it, Wang Qi will kick you out. Don't come to me to beg for mercy then."

"No, Teacher Wang is my idol. How could I miss the opportunity to study under my idol?" Sun Di was confident about staying.

Zhang Wen didn't say anything else and started eating the food in big mouthfuls.

In fact, what he just said was for Sister Hong next to him to hear. If this guy slacked off during work in the future and finally failed to stay in the company, he hoped that Sister Hong would not come to him for help.

Not sure if he understood, Yang Yuhong looked at her son and warned him, "Xiao Di, you said you like music. Mom respects your dream and is sending you to study music abroad. Mom hopes you can persist. If you can't, for example, if Tianxi Media kicks you out, then you will honestly go to work at our company. Do you understand?"

"Mom, I know." Sun Di said.

"..."

Zhang Wen ate while listening, his heart filled with envy.

If he fails to pursue his dream, he will have to go home and inherit the family business. Isn’t this his dream?
As expected, some people are born in Rome, while others are born as cattle and horses.

He, on the other hand, was one of the latter, born into debt.

Fortunately, our ancestors did not give up on him.

After eating for a while, Yang Yuhong suddenly asked, "Brother, I have a question for you. Do you have any extra Life Essence produced this month?"

When Song Yixin heard that it was related to the essence of life, she immediately pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

As far as she knew, since Mrs. Zhou drank the essence of life, her health had been much better than before, and her complexion had also improved significantly.

At the beginning of the month, she took a plane to Shenzhen. You should know that Mrs. Zhou had not taken a plane for three or four years due to health reasons.

This matter has spread among the wealthy circles in Beijing. Everyone is wondering why Mrs. Zhou's health has suddenly improved so much and whether she has taken any tonic.

However, the Zhou family kept their mouths shut and never revealed the reason to outsiders. When asked, they said that the old lady was in a good mood, so her health improved. Their perfunctory attitude was too obvious, as if the old lady Zhou had been in a bad mood in recent years.

However, people who attended Mrs. Zhou’s birthday party generally believed that all this must be related to the essence of life.

However, two months have passed since Mrs. Zhou’s birthday party, and no one has received a call from Dr. Zhang, so whether Mrs. Zhou’s health is related to the essence of life has always been a mystery.

When Zhang Wen heard Sister Hong's question, he couldn't help but tremble all over, and the chopsticks in his hand stopped in mid-air.

He turned to look at Yang Yuhong and asked in surprise, "Sister Hong, you are amazing. How did you know I had extra Life Essence this month?"

Yang Yuhong was stunned for a moment, then she was delighted. She hadn't expected to actually have extra Life Essence. So she quickly said, "Brother, can you sell me the remaining Life Essence? I won't let you down in terms of the price."

"Sister Hong, I'm saving the remaining life essence for my girlfriend. You already have a bottle, so why are you buying so much?" Zhang Wen asked in confusion.

"Brother, you may not know this, but the Life Essence you made is a hot commodity among the wealthy in Beijing. Everyone is asking where they can buy it."

Yang Yuhong used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and put it into her brother's bowl, then continued:
"I have a friend who's a major client of my company. Her husband was in a car accident last year and broke both legs. He's been having trouble with his rehabilitation. She heard that Life Essence has health-boosting properties, so she wanted to buy a bottle and try it out. So, she found me. Look..."

She didn't finish her words, but her meaning was clear.

Want to buy a bottle for a friend!
"Is that so?" Zhang Wen thought for a moment, then said, "Sister Hong, we're not strangers. I'll be honest with you. You know that the Life Essence does have a strengthening effect, but I'm not sure if it would be effective for someone with a broken leg. It's not impossible to sell your friend a bottle, but if it doesn't work, wouldn't her money be wasted?"

"It's okay." Yang Yuhong shook her head and said, "She said she just wanted to give it a try. If it doesn't work, she'll think of other ways. She won't bother you at all."

Zhang Wen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Sister Hong's last sentence hit the nail on the head. He was really worried that Sister Hong's friend would not be able to cure his leg and would come back to him to hold him accountable.

Refunding the money is secondary; the key issue is that it will affect the sales of life essence.

"Okay, for your sake, Sister Hong, I will sell her a bottle. If it works, I will leave a bottle for her next time I make it. If it doesn't work, I will just use it to help her calm down and sleep." Zhang Wen said.

"Brother, thank you so much. I will remember this favor. I will never refuse you if you need anything in the future." Yang Yuhong said happily.

"Sister Hong, look at what you said, you are being too formal."

"..."

Song Yixin rolled her eyes, then suddenly looked up at the man, pleading, and asked, "Zhang Youcai, no, Doctor Zhang, do you have any extra Life Essence? My dad hasn't been feeling well lately and was even hospitalized for drinking alcohol. I heard Life Essence has the effect of protecting the liver and stomach. Could you sell me a bottle?"

"Your father's condition is easy to cure. He doesn't need life essence. He just needs to quit drinking." Zhang Wen said lightly.

The corners of Song Yixin's mouth twitched involuntarily, and the pitiful expression on her face almost broke. However, in order to be able to buy the Life Essence, she forced herself to hold it back and sighed softly, "My dad is a businessman, and how can a businessman not drink? He doesn't want to drink, but he has no choice. Doctor Zhang, you can understand, right?"

"I'm sorry, I really can't understand why a billionaire is helpless," said Zhang Wen.

"Doctor Zhang, since you have extra, why can't you sell me one bottle?" Song Yixin asked with gritted teeth, while carefully recalling how they met, it seemed that they had not offended each other.

"Miss Song, your father's condition is not serious. There is really no need for him to take the life essence." Zhang Wen advised.

"Auntie Yang is in good health, why did you sell it to her?" Song Yixin blurted out, but she regretted it after she said it. Wouldn't this offend Auntie Yang?
"How can they be the same? This is my sister." Zhang Wen said seriously.

"My dad can also adopt you as his younger brother." Song Yixin said anxiously.

"But I don't have the habit of treating strangers as my brothers." Zhang Wen's attitude was as cold as ever.

No one would cherish things that can be easily bought. He wanted to let these rich people experience the feeling of having money but not being able to buy things.

It will definitely be sold, but not now.

"..."

Song Yixin held the chopsticks tightly, as if they would break at any moment. Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at Yang Yuhong across from her for help. "Auntie Yang, can you buy me a bottle?"

Yang Yuhong looked embarrassed. Could this kind of thing be said behind someone's back? The person involved was still here.

Besides, the person involved has already refused many times, so what’s the point of looking for her?

"Hey, Xinxin, listen to Aunt Yang. Your father is in good health. There's no need to join in the fun." Yang Yuhong said, winking at her.

She wanted to say, don't talk about this topic now, let's talk about it in private.

Song Yixin was stunned when she saw Aunt Yang's look. Although she didn't know what Aunt Yang meant, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and said, "Aunt Yang, I'll listen to you."

After saying that, he lowered his head to eat, but he was still thinking in his heart: What does Aunt Yang mean?
Zhang Wen saw everything, but he didn't say anything. He just quickly finished his meal and wiped his mouth. "Sister Hong, I'm full. Thank you for your hospitality."

"So fast? There's still so much left, eat some more." Yang Yuhong said in surprise.

"No, it's getting late. I still have a few clients to meet and I can't keep them waiting." Zhang Wen said as he stood up.

"Okay, then I won't keep you here. If you have time one day, please let me know in advance and I'll treat you well then."

"I understand, Sister Hong."

Yang Yuhong got up and sent her brother out the door, and only returned to the villa after he drove away.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Song Yixin, who looked depressed. She sighed secretly, then put her arm around his shoulders and whispered, "I'll give you an idea..."

"Thank you, Aunt Yang!"
