Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the VIP building of Jinjiang Fishing Port, Boss Cui hosted a banquet in honor of Jiang Yichen and his party.  People at the wine table started chatting with each other.  Jiang Yichen congratulated Chef Zhao. Winning the runner-up in such a high-level cooking competition is really commendable and gratifying.  Chef Zhao humbly said that he did not perform very well in several aspects, and his skills and mentality still need to be improved.  Not long after, the waiter carrying the tray began to serve the dishes, and a large table was set up with a variety of dishes.  Jiang Yichen glanced around and saw that the main dishes were three kinds of lobster, steamed abalone with chives and oyster sauce, braised sea cucumber, etc. According to the waiter, the lobster was the Australian Big Red Dragon, and the abalone was the five-headed abalone from South Africa. They were basically rich dishes.  It seems that Boss Cui is quite generous.  After the waiter poured the white wine for everyone, Boss Cui stood up with a glass, and with a smile on his face, he gave a toast like a distinguished guest coming to the door, making the wine shine.  Everyone stood up together, raised their glasses together, and drank the whole drink.  After sitting down, the hosts enthusiastically prepared the dishes for the guests.  As time went by, everyone gradually became familiar with each other.  Boss Cui had a drink with Jiang Yichen alone, then sighed and said, "Brother Jiang, it's all thanks to you this time." Jiang Yichen shook his head slightly, pretending not to care.  Boss Cui waved the service staff in the house to go out first and closed the door.  Then tell the cause and effect of the matter one by one.  He described Boss Zhou of Huanglong Seafood City as a heinous and treacherous person, saying that he almost fell into this man's hands.  Because of his negligence, he accidentally fell into the trap carefully set by Boss Zhou and decided to take a gamble; then.  The bluefin tuna prepared for the competition was fraudulently bought by the other party, and the tuna was snapped up in advance.  Just when there was nothing to do, Brother Jiang suddenly came to help, turning the situation upside down.  What a blessing.  Now that the traitor has been found, he is the deputy manager of the logistics and purchasing department. However, this kind of thing cannot be brought to justice and can only be fired.  Of course, he was vague about the specific content of the gamble.  Not revealing too much.  Having said this, Boss Cui and Chef Zhao toasted to Jiang Yichen to express their sincere gratitude.  "It's just a little effort, you two don't have to be so polite." Jiang Yichen bowed and responded.  The banquet continued, and the atmosphere on the table became more and more lively.  Ma Detao's drinking capacity also came in handy.  Had a great time drinking with Manager Chen and his assistant.  Then, under the influence of wine, I chatted with Manager Chen and others about the management of the seafood restaurant, which was of great benefit.  After five rounds of wine, when the face was full and the ears were warm, Boss Cui asked about the wasabi rhizome. He said that he had never seen it on the market before, and he would like to tell you something if it is convenient.  Jiang Yichen pondered for a moment and repeated what he told Ma Detao and Wei Yuan.  The Institute of Agricultural Sciences introduced the species from Japan in the early years and cultivated and improved it with special confidential patented technology for several generations.  "No wonder. Why have I never seen it before?" Boss Cui looked relieved.  He showed a strong interest in this kind of wasabi and proposed that if possible, he would like to purchase a batch for the restaurant's catering business. It doesn't matter if the price is higher.  Chef Zhao also nodded frequently in agreement.  As a chef obsessed with cooking.  He is probably more interested in excellent ingredients than anyone else.  For this, Jiang Yichen had already prepared his words in advance.  He said that special wasabi is still in the experimental stage, and the quality of each batch is unstable.  There are good times and bad times, and the output is also extremely low. There is still a long way to go before it can be launched as a mature product.  So I can only apologize.  Hearing this, Boss Cui and Chef Zhao looked at each other and shook their heads to express regret.  Then the topic was dropped and everyone continued to eat, drink, talk and laugh.  At the end of the banquet, rock sugar bird's nest soup was served.  Jiang Yichen has heard of this famous dessert for a long time, but has never tasted it. Today, he has learned a lot about it.  After the dinner, Boss Cui personally took Jiang Yichen and his party to visit his restaurant, and also sat in his office on the fourth floor of the main building.  Before leaving, he thrust an envelope into Jiang Yichen's hand.  "Brother Jiang, it's just a trivial matter, not a sign of respect." There was actually a gift, but Jiang Yichen was not mentally prepared for this.  He pinched it gently with his fingertips. The envelope was so thin that it didn't look like it contained cash.  The envelope was not sealed. He turned around and saw a piece of paper inside.  Taking it out, it turned out to be a cash check, with the amount written on it clearly showing: two million.  Jiang Yichen was surprised. He didn¡¯t expect that the other party wouldWhy give such a heavy thank you gift?  After thinking for a moment and weighing the pros and cons, he decided to refuse.  "Boss Cui, what happened this time was just a coincidence. It's a piece of cake. You really don't need to do this." As he said that, he put the check back in the envelope and stuffed it back into Boss Cui's hand.  "Your brother helped me a lot this time, and I deserve it." Boss Cui thought the other party was just being polite, so he pushed the envelope back.  So, the two went back and forth for several rounds like playing Tai Chi Push Hands, but Jiang Yichen insisted not to do it.  In the end, Boss Cui sighed and had to give up.  "Well, Brother Jiang is really generous and righteous. If you need my help with anything in the future, just say a word." Then, he sent Jiang Yichen and the others to the door of the restaurant, and both parties waved goodbye.  In the parking lot, Ma Detao and Duoyuan curiously asked about the amount of the check. Jiang Yichen told the truth, making the two of them exclaim.  "What, two million? I don't want any of that. Chenzi, your pocket is too fat." The round-bellied pair of eyes widened.  "This, this, hey, if it were me, I would definitely accept it and build a three-bedroom apartment with two living rooms tomorrow." Ma Detao felt even more regretful.  "Hey, it's a beautiful thought. You're welcome. Let's go back." Jiang Yichen glared at him and walked straight towards the Tiguan car without any explanation.  Ma Detao and Duanyuan shook their heads and sighed, then followed.  After a while, the two cars drove out of the parking lot one after the other and parted ways at the north entrance of Wanquan Road.  "Chenzi, to be honest, I think you are too generous today. At first glance, Lao Cui is a wealthy man with no shortage of money. You have helped him so much, so it would be great to receive some benefits.  It's normal, even if it's used as start-up capital for our restaurant." In the car, Ma Detao was holding the steering wheel, still thinking about the situation just now.  "Do you know what's going on here? Is the money black or white? You don't understand anything yet, and you dare to ask for it? Besides, we have the start-up capital for the restaurant ourselves, so we don't lack it.  Jiang Yichen shook his head and said decisively.  "When you are dealing with strangers for the first time, it's just a matter of eating and drinking. If real money is really involved, and you don't know the details, it's better to be on the safe side and avoid getting involved as much as possible.  Ma Detao thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he put the matter aside.  After a while, he talked about Jinjiang Fishing Port Restaurant in an envious tone. The scale of the building, the grade of decoration, and the indoor sun garden were really a boost.  "Don't be anxious, take your time, we will all have it in the future." Jiang Yichen said with a slight smile.  Back to the rental house, it was already getting late. Jiang Yichen finished washing, turned off the lights, and lay down on the bed drunkenly.  Since hospitality is hard to resist, I drank a lot tonight, and now my energy is gradually building up, making me feel dizzy.  At the banquet today, there were two things that left a deep impression on him. One was the scale and class of Jinjiang Fishing Port Restaurant, and the other was Boss Cui¡¯s use of the cooking competition to engage in gambling. Although he didn¡¯t know the specific details, but from what the other party gave him  Xie Li came to analyze it and estimated that the bet could not be too small.  Boss Cui is in his forties, runs a large-scale industry, and is a typical successful person.  Normally, I should be prudent in doing things, but I couldn't control my temper and almost capsized.  Gambling is really harmful. According to legend, countless people lose everything in underground casinos in China every year.  So this is the main reason why he strictly controls the people around him in this regard.  For example, on Yunsha Island, Lai Shun'er and Xizi liked to play mahjong in their spare time, so he stipulated that the lottery should be set at the lowest level, just because he was afraid that the young men would lose their temper and be in trouble in the future.  Of course, this has also caused some dissatisfaction, but it can¡¯t be controlled much.  After a while, a deep sleepiness came over him, urging him to fall asleep.  (To be continued)
