Miao Xiuhua and the others came out of the kitchen and found only Cheng Xiaofan sitting in the room. They couldn't help but ask, "Xiaofan, where are the guests?"
"They left!"
Cheng Xiaofan said nonchalantly.
Bai Yiling smiled and said, "Mom wanted to keep them for dinner. Why did they leave?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "That fellow surnamed Lu wanted to hire me as a consultant at their bureau, but I refused. He felt he lost face and was too embarrassed to stay, so he left!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Fugui glared at his son, "All guests are respected guests. Even if you didn't become a consultant, you shouldn't have driven them away!"
"Don't worry, they'll be back soon!"
Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile, "I told them to stay for dinner before leaving, and I'd give each of them two bottles of Kai Xin Jiu."
"Lu Shengming doesn't understand the benefits of Kai Xin Jiu. I believe after hearing Dao Suo's introduction, he'll definitely regret it and come back!"
In fact, others had no idea that Cheng Xiaofan's six senses were so keen that they couldn't be described as human.
As Lu Shengming walked out the door, his entire conversation with Zhang Heng before getting into the car was heard by Cheng Xiaofan without missing a single word.
Cheng Xiaofan's gaze could not only see through things but also rotate.
In the Chen Xiang Garden in Haicheng, he could even detect Tu Biao and the others behind him.
In other words, as long as Cheng Xiaofan could hear the other person's voice, he could see their every move. Could such a monster be considered human?
Seeing the conflicted and disgusted expression on Lu Shengming's face, Cheng Xiaofan really wanted to burst out laughing.
Heh heh!
Lu Shengming, you insisted on leaving, but now you're frozen in place?
If you want to go, then go. I won't see you out!
As expected, as soon as Cheng Xiaofan finished speaking, Lu Shengming and Dao Dahai, one after the other, reappeared in the Cheng family's house.
"Heh heh, Cheng Xiaofan, I..."
Before Lu Shengming could finish his awkward words, Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand and said, "Old Lu, let's not say anything for now. It's time for dinner. We can talk after we eat!"
"Right, right, right, you are Xiaofan's friends. Let's eat and talk!" Miao Xiuhua said with a smile.
Cheng Xiaofan said they could talk after dinner, but Miao Xiuhua, as his mother, changed it to talking while eating.
Immediately, Miao Xiuhua and Bai Yiling brought the dishes from the kitchen to the table. There was braised chicken in wine sauce, steamed immortal fish, cabbage rolls with meat, old duck stewed with mushrooms, and stir-fried winter melon with ham.
The aroma filling the room made one's mouth water.
Gurgle... A sound came from Lu Shengming's stomach, which was clearly not cooperating.
"Thank you, then I won't be polite!" At this moment, Lu Shengming's buttocks felt as if they were tied to a millstone, and he sat down on the stool. You couldn't possibly drive him away even if you tried.
The overflowing aroma of the dishes on the table was a fatal temptation.
"Director Lu, this is the immortal fish raised by Xiaofan. Try it!" Dao Dahai picked up a pair of serving chopsticks and served Lu Shengming two pieces of immortal fish.
Lu Shengming picked up the fish with his chopsticks and took a bite: "Hiss, this... this is too wonderful!"
He couldn't find any appropriate words to describe the exquisite taste of the immortal fish.
After the piece of fish went down his stomach, he smacked his lips and said, "Immortal fish. Tasting this fish truly gives one the feeling of being as happy as an immortal!"
"Cheng Xiaofan, how did you manage to raise such good fish?"
"Where can I buy it in the market?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said, "I cultivated this fish myself. You definitely can't buy it anywhere else except here."
"That's right, this immortal fish is just like the Kai Xin Jiu developed by Cheng Xiaofan. It's one of a kind!" Dao Dahai chimed in.
After the meal, as Lu Shengming was about to leave, Cheng Xiaofan asked Bai Yiling to give them each two bottles of premium Kai Xin Jiu.
In the car, Lu Shengming immediately called Tu Biao.
"Brother Tu, I want to ask you about something. At the Haicheng World Famous Wine Auction this time, did Cheng Xiaofan's premium Kai Xin Jiu really auction for a hundred million yuan per bottle?" Lu Shengming asked immediately.
Tu Biao's voice came from the phone immediately: "Yes, especially his specially developed top-grade Kai Xin Jiu, which sold for a hundred billion yuan per bottle!"
"Why could it be priced so high?" Lu Shengming asked incredulously.
Tu Biao chuckled, "My dear brother, you must know that Cheng Xiaofan's top-grade Kai Xin Jiu is a life-saving wine. A foreigner drank half a bottle of his top-grade Kai Xin Jiu and was cured of advanced stomach cancer on the spot."
"Cheng Xiaofan is righteous and deeply values relationships. This time, he also gave me half a bottle of top-grade Kai Xin Jiu, which not only healed my old injuries but also allowed my ancient martial arts cultivation to break through to a brand-new innate realm shortly after I returned home!"
"Also, my dear brother, I have another piece of good news for you. Today, at Long Xiaotian's introduction, I was accepted into a reclusive influential family!"
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Cheng Xiaofan's support!"
Lu Shengming was stunned upon hearing this!
Tu Biao being accepted into a reclusive influential family was not the main point of Lu Shengming's concern. Long Xiaotian and his grandson were originally Cheng Xiaofan's disciples.
Without Cheng Xiaofan, Long Xiaotian would never have been able to reclaim his position as helmsman from Jiang Feijiao.
Long Xiaotian accepting Tu Biao into a reclusive influential family was not a big deal.
What truly shocked Lu Shengming was, was Cheng Xiaofan's Kai Xin Jiu really that powerful?
He knew Tu Biao was a master of Dark Strength among ancient martial artists, but he had been stuck at a bottleneck for over ten years and couldn't break through to the innate realm.
He never expected that after drinking half a bottle of Cheng Xiaofan's top-grade Kai Xin Jiu, he would immediately achieve a breakthrough.
He glanced at the two bottles of premium Kai Xin Jiu in his hand, and his entire being became restless. This visit to Cheng Xiaofan's house had easily cost him two hundred million yuan.
No!
Including the two bottles for Dao Dahai, it was four hundred million!
Although he came to visit Cheng Xiaofan today and was thoroughly annoyed by him, at this moment, all his anger had long since vanished.
Think about it, who could have such generosity to give away four hundred million yuan worth of premium wine with a flick of their wrist?
It was likely that only Cheng Xiaofan in this world could do it.
The idiom "豪气干云" (hao qi gan yun - heroic spirit reaching the clouds) must have been created for Cheng Xiaofan, right?
Thinking about the four bottles of premium Kai Xin Jiu in his hand, which he still had to give to Zhang Heng, Lu Shengming's intestines were almost twisted into a knot.
He hadn't even tasted a drop of such good wine himself, and he had to give it all away to others. Wasn't that unfair?
"Director Dao,"
After a moment of thought, Lu Shengming said, "You said your relationship with Cheng Xiaofan is extraordinary, like brothers. Does he always treat you to this premium Kai Xin Jiu when you visit?"
Dao Dahai heard this and immediately burst into laughter, "Director Lu, here with Cheng Xiaofan, I drink this premium Kai Xin Jiu as if it were plain water."
"I always drink some and take some home. I still have a few bottles of this premium Kai Xin Jiu stored at my house. This is what they call 'close to the water gets the moon first'."
"Uh..."
As he said this, he suddenly seemed to realize something and immediately stopped speaking.
But by the time he realized it, it was too late. Lu Shengming reached out and took the two bottles of Kai Xin Jiu that Dao Dahai had placed beside him.
Lu Shengming chuckled and said, "Director Dao, you're right. 'Close to the water gets the moon first.' It's too convenient for you to get Kai Xin Jiu from Cheng Xiaofan! These two bottles of yours, you can give them to me!"
