Just then, Jiang Cheng received a wechat message from Wang Zheng.
He said he wanted to arrange a table at Luxury Hotel tonight and asked Jiang Cheng to grace them with his presence.
Jiang Cheng looked at the message and didn't refuse.
If he was going to attend university in the Magic City in the future, necessary social activities would definitely be indispensable.
To develop in this society, one cannot be a loner.
As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths; although it sounds a bit cliché, it's the reality.
Moreover, since he happened to be at Luxury Hotel, he could conveniently arrange to use that unused gourmet cashback card.
Jiang Cheng called Wang Zheng, stating that he was already staying at Luxury Hotel and told him to come over directly.
Seeing Jiang Cheng return, Wang Yuyan immediately greeted him respectfully: "Mr. Jiang, welcome home."
"Manager Wang, I'll be hosting friends later. Have the chef come over and prepare the most expensive options. Including me, there will be five people tonight. Serve the yellow croaker fish maw, the Alba White Truffle, and the Illusion Sundae. You can decide on the rest of the main courses."
Seeing Jiang Cheng order two portions of yellow croaker fish maw, which is fish gelatin, Wang Yuyan was momentarily stunned.
The yellow croaker fish is also known as the Chinese Bahaba. It is a fish species unique to China, distributed in the estuarine waters of some southern rivers. It can grow up to 150 centimeters and is a large fish in the Sciaenidae family.
Among its parts, the efficacy of its fish maw is highly praised; it was once purchased for about three million RMB.
Wang Yuyan quickly reacted and immediately nodded: "Alright, Mr. Jiang. Currently, the price of our hotel's yellow croaker fish maw is over a million. For your group, you only need a portion, so the price should be around five hundred thousand. Can you accept that?"
Five hundred thousand was no problem at all. If he wasn't afraid that ordering too much would make him look like a nouveau riche, he would have ordered ten portions without issue.
However, even if he wanted to exploit the system, he had to consume reasonably.
Enjoying life properly is what makes a Godly Tycoon.
Given his current situation, even if he squandered money every day, it would be enough to keep him well-fed and clothed for life.
Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded: "That's fine, you handle it. If it's not enough, just serve more."
"It's definitely enough. I'll go prepare it now."
Half an hour later, Wang Yuyan briskly appeared at the entrance of Jiang Cheng's Tingge Villa with three chefs and several Waitresses, pushing several carts of ingredients.
Wang Yuyan wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at Jiang Cheng, and asked, "Mr. Jiang, shall we begin the preparations now?"
Looking at the fresh red and green ingredients on the carts, Jiang Cheng nodded with satisfaction: "Let's start now."
Wang Zheng had just sent a wechat...
According to what he said, they were almost at the entrance of Luxury Hotel.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Cheng asked Wang Yuyan to go to the entrance of Aman to welcome Wang Zheng and the others.
Seeing the private butler come out to greet them...
Wang Zheng and another young man dressed in designer brands from head to toe both appeared very calm.
On the contrary, the two girls following them looked like they hadn't seen the world. As soon as they stepped into the lobby of Luxury Hotel, they were shocked by the magnificence.
After Wang Yuyan led them to the Tingge Villa where Jiang Cheng was, the two girls' eyes widened even more.
The panoramic open-air balcony, the swimming pool, the hot spring area, and even a natural small river flowing by the entrance... this was worlds apart from the hotels they usually stayed in. Both of them couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "So this is the presidential suite of Luxury Hotel. I've truly seen the world now."
While the two girls were incredibly shocked, Jiang Cheng walked out from inside and said to them with a smile, "You're here. Welcome, welcome."
Wang Zheng walked towards Jiang Cheng with a grin and familiarly put his arm around his shoulder: "Sorry, brother. I was supposed to treat you to dinner, but I didn't expect to end up bringing so many people over to crash the meal."
"Why say all that? It's just a meal. What's the difference between you treating and me treating? Everyone, please come inside." Jiang Cheng's words gave Wang Zheng plenty of face, and the atmosphere on the scene immediately became lively.
"Come, come, let me introduce you. This is my brother Chen Hao, Young Master Chen. His family sells coal; they pull cargo out by the trainload every day. And these two are the female companions I brought along," Wang Zheng said to Jiang Cheng.
Wang Zheng's introduction was very clear; obviously, of the three people who came, only Chen Hao was in the same circle and of the same status as him.
As for the two nameless female companions, they weren't important; they were likely just called along for the meal.
Chen Hao proactively reached out his hand to Jiang Cheng: "I've been hearing Old Wang talk about you for the past two days. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Jiang Cheng reached out and shook back, then glanced at Chen Hao. He was wearing a string of oily green jade beads around his neck and a pair of LV shoes on his feet.
This outfit... it was quite unconventional. After all, not many young people like jadeite.
Chen Hao spoke again: "I heard Old Wang say you bought his laferrari?"
Jiang Cheng nodded: "It was fate."
"Haha, that kind of fate is rare. If you had bought it a bit later, this guy would have had to take delivery himself and then sell it at a discount. He would have lost a fortune. To be honest, Old Wang really should be grateful to you..."
Wang Zheng immediately said, "Hey, hey, hey, you're really undermining me. Jiang Cheng and I just share a destiny."
"..."
The three of them chatted as they walked inside.
Jiang Cheng glanced at the other two young ladies who were dressed like Internet Celebrities.
Their looks were around 80 points, making them beauties who surpassed ordinary people.
Furthermore, their favorability value towards Jiang Cheng had reached 60 points, falling into the category of ordinary friends. This value was already quite high for a first meeting.
After going inside, Jiang Cheng invited them: "I heard from Manager Wang that the food here is quite unique. Let's try it together."
Chen Hao nodded in agreement: "The food here at the Aman hotel is indeed of a high standard, but I haven't tried their on-site cooking yet. I'm riding on your coattails today. Brother Jiang, how long have you been in the Magic City?"
Jiang Cheng waved his hand at the two of them: "Stop calling me 'Brother.' You guys should be older than me; just call me by my name. Today should be the fourth day."
Jiang Cheng really couldn't stand men older than him calling him "Brother" at every turn.
Moreover, Wang Zheng and Chen Hao weren't children from ordinary families.
Everyone calling each other that was just the pleasantries and politeness of a first meeting.
If you took it seriously and acted like a big shot, you might not be able to stay friends.
"Alright, alright, let's not bother with those empty formalities," Wang Zheng agreed.
He had a carefree personality.
Jiang Cheng quite liked this kind of personality. Compared to those with deep schemes, this kind of personality was much more comfortable to hang out with.
Then Wang Zheng asked Jiang Cheng again: "Did you see any good cars at the auto show yesterday?"
"I took a walk around and bought a ferrari 488 and a Lambo big bull."
"Oh, buying two at once? Tycoon! When will those cars be ready for the road?" Chen Hao asked after taking a sip of red wine.
"The Ferrari was arranged yesterday, and they said they'd deliver the big bull to me today."
"That's quite fast. A 488 costs over eight million, right? Normally, it would take at least two days to process everything, but you actually got it in one day."
After Chen Hao finished speaking, he exchanged a look with Wang Zheng.
Both of them knew Jiang Cheng wasn't short on money.
After all, someone who could pay in full for a ferrari laferrari wouldn't need an installment plan for these two cars, right?Binary strings are usually represented as hex or base64.
The two girls on the side were inwardly surprised again as they listened to the conversation between them.
Just then, Wang Yuyan led the staff to start serving the dishes.
After a table of dishes was laid out, Jiang Cheng invited everyone to eat.
Wang Zheng looked at the dishes on the table, examined them for a while, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother, this is truly a grand gesture. You're making me feel embarrassed. This is Alba White Truffle, right? And this is fish maw, isn't it?"
Jiang Cheng nodded: "yellow croaker fish maw."
Hearing this, Wang Zheng leaned in to take a closer look. After a careful gaze, he also nodded: "Jiang Cheng, this is too luxurious. This doesn't come cheap."
One of the girls looked at the plain-looking cooked fish maw on the table and asked cautiously: "Is this yellow croaker fish maw very expensive?"
The other girl also licked her lips, waiting for an answer.
Seeing the guest's question, Wang Yuyan immediately replied thoughtfully: "yellow croaker fish is one of the four most expensive seafoods in the world, and its fish maw is especially precious. The price of this bowl today is over five hundred thousand."
"Also, this is the Italian Alba White Truffle. It is equally precious, with a price also several hundred USD per gram..."
After hearing Wang Yuyan's introduction, the two girls' eyes instantly widened.
Crucially, Jiang Cheng noticed that their favorability value towards him suddenly rose by twenty points.
A single meal had cost nearly over a million.
If this price were in their hometown, it could buy a large apartment of several hundred square meters.
And now, the two of them were actually going to eat this million into their stomachs.
Thinking of this, the two girls were both vain and heartbroken.
But since it was already the case, they had no choice but to turn their grief into appetite and began to secretly feast on these delicacies they had never tasted before.
During the meal, the two girls kept taking various photos, an action that made Wang Zheng's face darken with some helplessness.
After a harmless little interlude, Wang Zheng said to Jiang Cheng: "Old Jiang, thanks for the hospitality tonight. How about we go to The Bund for a drink later?"
Jiang Cheng checked the time; it was almost ten o'clock at night. Moreover, he had already been drinking earlier, and now he just wanted to have a good sleep.
So he declined politely: "To be honest, I already drank with my classmates earlier, and now I'm a bit sleepy. I'll go have fun with you next time."
Wang Zheng didn't force him and said with a smile: "Then I'll book a big booth at TAXX in advance tomorrow night, and we'll have a good time."
After Jiang Cheng treated Wang Zheng to this million-dollar feast, Wang Zheng immediately offered to return the favor.
Jiang Cheng appreciated this behavior of reciprocating.
After all, when making friends, back-and-forth is best.
This behavior of not wanting to take advantage at all is the correct way to make friends.
After seeing off Wang Zheng and the others, Jiang Cheng took a comfortable hot bath in the bathtub, then lay directly on the leather sofa and scrolled through his phone.
Just then, Wang Yuyan walked in with tonight's dining bill.
"Mr. Jiang, this is the dining cost for tonight. Please take a look."
Jiang Cheng took the bill and looked at it; the total consumption was 1.58 million.
After reading it, he took out his bank card from his wallet in the cabinet and handed it directly to Wang Yuyan.
"Alright, swipe the card."
"Okay, please wait a moment." After the card was successfully swiped, Wang Yuyan withdrew, leaving the private space to Jiang Cheng.
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't come to find Jiang Cheng tonight.
It had to be said that Yu Xiaoxiao was a very sensible woman.
When Jiang Cheng didn't look for her, she wouldn't take the initiative to find him, let alone check up on him.
Lying in bed, he checked the payment information from earlier.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the Host for successfully using the gourmet cashback card. The total consumption this time is 1.58 million."
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a 20x cashback! The cashback multiplier will be multiplied by the number of people dining as the final cashback amount."
"The total cashback is 158 million. Would the Host like to withdraw it to the bank card?"
Looking at this cashback value, Jiang Cheng happily clicked to withdraw immediately.
He didn't expect that inviting a few people to dinner would actually result in over a hundred million in cashback.
This meal was truly worth it...
