Dinner with the Ye Family

Regarding Su Zhen's plan to open a restaurant, it couldn't be done anytime soon, after all, Su Zhen's restaurant couldn't be just a normal restaurant.

First of all, he had to find a good location and make sure that he was able to afford to rent or buy that place.

Second, his restaurant was a high-end restaurant that targeted rich customers, hence, there had to be something very unique about his restaurant. Therefore, Su Zhen planned to disregard external supply and have his own farm that could supply the restaurant instead. As a high-end restaurant, the ingredients used had to be top ingredients, so what was on the farm had to be top-grade.

Third, Su Zhen didn't just plan to open one restaurant in Fuzhou, he wanted to expand it into branches all over the country. By then, Cheng Weixiu, as the main chef of the restaurant, had to impart some of her skills to other people so that they could stand in their position in the various branches. Naturally, the other branches wouldn't be able to achieve 100% of the taste like the main restaurant, but Su Zhen still hoped that at least 80% of the taste was achievable.

In the final analysis, it was quite daring for Su Zhen to play such a big move for his first business. However, Cheng Weixiu's food was comparable to Michelin star chefs, so just this reason alone was enough to make Su Zhen not afraid of losing money. Not to mention, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that his money fell from the "sky".

After all was said, Su Zhen still had to take it slowly as there were still many things that had to be done first.

...

The next morning, after doing all the morning work, Su Zhen unboxed the various Apple products that he had bought since yesterday one by one.

After turning on the new black iPhone, Su Zhen put in the new SIM card. Then, he quickly installed WeChat on his phone.

In the Golden WeChat on his old phone, there was a transfer option as well. When Su Zhen clicked on it, a prompt appeared on the screen.

[Please hold your new device to transfer.]

As soon as Su Zhen held the new iPhone, a shock came from his old phone, traveled through his body, and entered the new phone. Su Zhen couldn't really explain this feeling clearly, but it was quite chilling, similar to electric shocks, it was just that this shock was very low in power and even a kid could endure it.

Su Zhen opened WeChat on his old phone to take a look, as expected, the Golden WeChat feature disappeared, leaving only the normal WeChat with his old account.

Normally, if there was no account logged in, it was impossible to enter WeChat and use it, but it was different for Su Zhen. Because of the Golden WeChat, he was able to see the normal interface without logging in, but again, since there was no account on this new device, it was impossible for him to use the normal WeChat functions such as chatting and posting and so on.

It only took a moment to create a WeChat account, but Su Zhen didn't plan to add any friends at all, and he also didn't plan to let anyone know about his new phone number either. Overall, this new phone was a forbidden phone that no one other than he himself could touch.

After doing this, Su Zhen picked up another new white iPhone and turned it on.

For almost two hours, Su Zhen was busy setting up many electrical devices and registering accounts.

After that, he left those new devices connected to the adapters in his bedroom and read books seriously.

Without knowing it, it was already evening and Ye Decai called Su Zhen to remind him about the dinner this evening and sent a location over.

He put on a leather jacket paired with a brown T-shirt and black jeans and left the community with his BMW.

The same as yesterday, Su Zhen came to the Blossom Wine Store again, but what was different was that he purchased a red wine this time.

He chose a bottle of 2006 Chateau Latour, a classic French wine. In his knowledge, Latour had always had the reputation of producing great wines in the less great vintages. This 2006 was a case in point. It brought structure and ripeness into a form that was almost ethereal, its alcoholic volume was very low, and it was just right for a family dinner.

Su Zhen guessed that Ye Yibai's family should be quite rich, so this particular wine was perfect for elegance and luxury. But what Su Zhen took into consideration about this wine was not its price, but its taste, which was top-notch. It wasn't too cheap, nor was it too expensive it either, just exactly 5,000 yuan.

The boss of the Blossom Wine Store looked at Su Zhen's leaving back and raised his brows.

'This young man's taste in wine is really professional and elegant.'

...

As Su Zhen followed the navigation told by Ye Decai, he came to a community where the cheapest house cost at least around 2 million yuan. When Su Zhen arrived at the gate of the community, he was stopped by the security guard.

The security guard came to his side and asked to confirm his identity. After making sure that it was really the person that a villa owner told him, he apologized quickly and immediately opened the gate of the community for Su Zhen.

As soon as Su Zhen parked his car in front of a luxurious villa that cost no less than 8 million yuan, Ye Yibai ran out to greet him instantly.

"Brother Su, have you picked up your motorbike yet?"

"Yeah, I picked it up two days ago."

"I also picked up my car two days ago, but my old man suddenly went hard on me, asking him to run errands here and there. I was tired to death..."

Su Zhen directly ignored this chatterbox and took out the red wine from the back seat.

Ye Yibai was taken aback.

"What a coincidence, my dad is a red wine lover, I bet he will love this for sure."

"That's good..."

The two chatted and walked into the villa slowly.

When he came to the living room, Su Zhen spotted Ye Decai and another elegant middle-aged man that looked older and similar to Ye Decai 30 to 40%.

Ye Decai hurriedly introduced him, "Brother, this is the Little Su that I'm talking about, and he's also Yibai's friend."

The middle-aged man got up, smiled at Su Zhen, and shook hands with Su Zhen, "We finally get to see each other, little brother. You can just can me Uncle Ye."

"Nice to meet you, Uncle Ye. Right, this is my little gift, I hope you like it."

Ye Renyan thanked Su Zhen and took the red wine. When he saw the name on it, he was surprised.

"2006 Chateau Latour? Little Su, this is a great wine. Not many people know about this 2016 classic, most restaurants nowadays tend to choose the 2012 version, which is not bad, but less pure than the 2006's. Well, are you a wine lover too?"

Ye Renyan just asked casually. Seeing Su Zhen's glasses and fine temperament, he subconsciously put him in the category of virtuous men that didn't touch alcohol, women, and tobacco.

Well, he was not entirely right.

"Actually, I used to be a professional bartender, so I have some knowledge in alcohol."

Ye Renyan didn't quite expect this, so he was really surprised. Even Ye Decai was also stunned. He didn't expect that this young multi-millionaire actually used to be a bartender at all.

But Su Zhen said he used to, so no one knew how long ago it was, therefore, everyone thought it should be quite long ago. After all, he was so rich now, how many years did one usually need to become a millionaire? Ye Renyan himself spent decades, so Su Zhen should have worked as a bartender for a very short.

No matter what everyone thought, Su Zhen didn't care. He left them to think by themselves.

A moment later, everyone got seated and Ye Yibai's mother came out of the kitchen with a middle-aged aunt who seemed to be a housekeeper of the Ye family.

Su Zhen greeted her politely.

The same as her husband, Ye Yibai's mother looked similar to Wu Jin's mother in terms of personality, which was virtuous and elegant. But as a rich woman, she was able to maintain her appearance regularly, so even in her late 40s, she still looked like a woman in her late 30s.

With such parents, it was no wonder that Ye Yibai looked good, but it was a pity that this guy threw away the virtuous traits of his parents and decided to be like a dog in heat every day instead.

With similar hobbies and minds, these people were able to talk about many sophisticated topics, be it fashion, culture, or business.

Su Zhen might have never attended a university, but his knowledge was not inferior to these old guys at all. To some extent, his knowledge was even broader and his way of thinking was even more innovative than theirs.

As for Ye Yibai, this guy acted as a background board and those business strategies or whatever professional terms seemed like a language of Gods in his ears. Feeling quite sad, he gulped a glass of red wine in one go with a bitter face.
