Chapter 490: Boss Cui's thank you
In the VIP building of Jinjiang Fishing Port, Boss Cui held a banquet to entertain Jiang Yichen and his party.
The people at the table struck up a conversation with each other.
Jiang Yichen congratulated Chef Zhao on winning the runner-up in such a high-level cooking competition, which is really commendable and gratifying.
Chef Zhao humbly said that he did not play very well in several aspects, and his skills and mentality still need to be improved.
After a while, the waiter with the tray began to serve the food, and a large table was set up with a dazzling array of dishes.
Jiang Yichen's eyes swept away, only to see that the main dish is lobster three to eat, steamed abalone with chives and oyster sauce, braised sea cucumber and so on, according to the waiter, the lobster is an Australian red dragon, and the abalone is a five-head abalone from South Africa, which is basically a rich dish, it seems that this Boss Cui is quite generous.
After the waiter poured the liquor for everyone, Boss Cui got up with a cup, smiled all over his face, and made a toast on scenes such as VIPs coming to the door and being full of fluff. Everyone stood up together, toasted each other, and drank it all.
After sitting down, the host party enthusiastically invited the guests to eat.
After coming and going, everyone naturally gradually became acquainted.
Boss Cui and Jiang Yichen touched a glass alone, then sighed and said:
"Brother Jiang, it's really thanks to you this time."
Jiang Yichen shook his head slightly, making a look of not caring.
Boss Cui waved his hand to let the service staff in the house go out first and close the door. Then tell the cause and effect of the incident one by one.
He described Boss Zhou of Huanglong Seafood City as a heinous and treacherous man, saying that he almost fell into the hands of this guy.
Due to negligence, he accidentally fell into the trap carefully set by Boss Zhou and should play a gambling game; Immediately afterwards, the bluefin tuna prepared for the game was fraudulently bought by the other party. Snap up the tuna early. Just when there was nothing to do, but unexpectedly, Brother Jiang suddenly came to his aid, which turned the situation around, which was really fortunate.
Now the mole has been found out, that is, the deputy manager of the logistics procurement department, but this kind of thing cannot be brought to law. I can only fire the matter.
Of course, he was vague about the specific content of the gambling game and did not reveal too much.
Speaking of this, Boss Cui and Chef Zhao toasted Jiang Yichen together to express their heartfelt gratitude.
"It's just a gesture, you don't have to be so polite." Jiang Yichen bowed in return.
The banquet continued, and the atmosphere at the table became more and more enthusiastic. Ma Detao's alcohol consumption also came in handy, and he had a great time drinking with Manager Chen and his assistant.
And then by the strength of the wine. It was also very beneficial to talk to Manager Chen about the operation of the seafood restaurant.
After five rounds of drinking, when his face was hot, Boss Cui asked about the situation of wasabi rhizomes, and said that he had never seen it on the market before, and he hoped to inform him if it was convenient.
Jiang Yichen pondered for a moment, and repeated the set of telling Ma Detao and the round belly that they had told them as they were, and the Institute of Agricultural Sciences introduced seeds from Japan in the early years. The special secret patent technology has been cultivated and improved for several generations, and now it is out of the blue clouds.
"No wonder. I said I've never seen it before. Boss Cui had a relieved expression on his face.
He showed a strong interest in this wasabi table, and proposed that if possible, he would like to purchase a batch for the restaurant's catering business, and it doesn't matter if the price is higher.
Chef Zhao also nodded frequently on the side, expressing his approval. As a chef who is obsessed with cooking. He is probably more interested in good ingredients than others.
For this, Jiang Yichen has already prepared a statement in advance, he said that the current special wasabi is still in the experimental stage, and the quality of each batch is unstable, sometimes good and sometimes bad. The production volume is also extremely low, and 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 glanced at each other and shook their heads to express regret. Then the topic was stopped, 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 he has never tasted it, and today he can be regarded as having a long experience.
At the end of the dinner, Boss Cui personally took Jiang Yichen and his entourage to visit his restaurant, and also sat in his office on the fourth floor of the main building.
As he was leaving, he stuffed an envelope into Jiang Yichen's hand.
"Brother Jiang, it's a little bit of a trivial matter, and it's not a tribute."
There are actually gifts, but Jiang Yichen is not mentally prepared for this. He pinched it lightly with his fingertips, and the envelope was thin, not like it contained cash.
The envelope was not sealed, and he turned to see a piece of paper resting inside. When I took it out, it turned out to be a cash check, and the amount filled on it clearly showed: two million dollars.
Jiang Yichen was taken aback, he didn't expect the other party to come up with such a heavy thank you gift.
After thinking for a moment and weighing the pros and cons, he decided to refuse.
"Boss Cui, this time it just happened to happen, and I really don't use it for this."
As he spoke, he put the check back in the envelope and stuffed it back into Boss Cui's hand.
"Your brother has done me a great favor this time, and he deserves it." Boss Cui thought that the other party was just polite, and pushed the envelope back.
So, the two went back and forth for several rounds like playing Tai Chi pushers, but Jiang Yichen insisted on not to.
In the end, Boss Cui sighed and had no choice but to give up.
"Alas, Brother Jiang is really bold and righteous, if you need my brother's help in the future, just say something."
Subsequently, he sent Jiang Yichen and the three of them all the way to the gate of the restaurant, and the two sides waved goodbye.
In the parking lot, Ma Detao and Belly Yuan curiously asked about the amount of the check, and Jiang Yichen told him truthfully, which made the two of them exclaim.
"What, two million? Neither. Chenzi, your pockets are too fat. A pair of squinted eyes with a round belly.
"This, this, hey, if it were me, I would accept it as soon as possible, and I would go to complete a set of three bedrooms and two living rooms tomorrow." Ma Detao was even more regretful.
"Hey, it's beautiful, you're welcome. Go, go back. Jiang Yichen glared at him, didn't explain, and walked straight towards the Tiguan car.
Ma Detao and Round Belly shook their heads and sighed again and again, and followed.
Suddenly, the two cars drove out of the parking lot one after the other and parted ways at the north exit of Wanquan Road.
"Chenzi, to be honest, I think you're really too generous today. That old Cui is the owner of the old wealth, who is not short of money, you have helped him so much, it is common to receive some benefits, even if it is used as the start-up capital of our restaurant. In the car, Ma Detao held the steering wheel in his hand, still pondering the situation just now.
"You know what's going on here? Is that money black or white? You dare to ask for it if you don't figure out anything? Besides, we have our own start-up capital for the restaurant, and there is no shortage of this. Jiang Yichen shook his head and said categorically.
Dealing with the living for the first time, just eat and drink, if it really involves real money, in the case of not knowing the details, it is better to be safe and less to touch.
Ma Detao thought about it and felt that it made some sense, so he put the matter aside.
After a while, he talked about the Jinjiang Fishing Port Restaurant in an envious tone, the scale of the building, the decoration grade, and the indoor sunny garden, which was really a boost.
"Don't worry, take your time, we'll all have it in the future." Jiang Yichen smiled slightly and said.
Back at the rental house, it was not early, Jiang Yichen finished washing, turned off the light, and lay on the bed drunk. Because of the hospitality, I drank a lot tonight, and my stamina gradually came up at this time, and I felt dizzy.
Today's banquet, there are two things that left a deep impression on him, one is the scale and grade of the Jinjiang Fishing Port Restaurant, and the other is that Boss Cui uses the cooking competition to engage in gambling.
Boss Cui is in his forties, runs a large-scale industry, and is a typical successful person. It is said that he should be steady in doing things, but he couldn't control his temperament, and he almost capsized. Gambling is really harmful, and according to legend, countless people lose money in underground casinos in China every year.
So this is also the main reason why he strictly controls the people around him in this regard. For example, on Yunsha Island, Lai Shun'er and Xizi like to play mahjong in their spare time, and he insists that the lottery head will be set at the lowest level, just because he is afraid that the boys will not be able to control their temperament and will be unlucky in the future.
Of course, this has also caused some dissatisfaction, but it can't be managed.
After a while, a deep sleepiness hit him, urging him to fall asleep. (To be continued......)
