Chapter: 3046
Charlie Wade nodded and said, “You have worked hard.”
“Of course!” Chen Zekai replied as he got out of the car. He turned to Charlie Wade and said, “Master, I’ll be waiting at the door. If you need anything, just let me know.”
Charlie Wade quickly responded, “Why are you waiting at the door? Let Hong Wu handle it. Find a seat and have a snack. I’ll join you for a drink shortly.”
Hong Wu chimed in, “Don’t worry, Master Ye! I’ve got it covered!”
Chen Zekai felt touched by their kindness. He thought to himself that Charlie Wade and Hong Wu treated their subordinates so much better than typical wealthy young masters do. With respect, he said, “I’ll follow whatever Master decides!”
Charlie nodded, and Hong Wu said, “Master Ye, please follow me. I’ll take you all to the main entrance of Tianxiang Mansion.”
The four followed Hong Wu to the entrance. Gu Qiuyi suddenly remembered the cake and quickly spoke up, “Mr. Hong, the staff will be bringing a special cake soon. Could you arrange for a suitable cart and help them bring the cake to the box? It’s very precious, so please ensure they handle it carefully. Thank you!”
Hong Wu replied, “Miss Gu, there’s no need to be so formal. I will make sure everything is arranged perfectly!”
With that, Hong Wu led everyone to the diamond box at Tianxiang Mansion. When they arrived, the box was immaculate, so clean that it sparkled.
On the large round table, eight cold dishes were beautifully arranged—four meat dishes and four vegetarian dishes, all presented elegantly.
In the center of the table, there were two bottles of…
On the table, there were collector’s bottles of Moutai and two bottles of Romani Conti red wine, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Surrounding these fine drinks were four sets of exquisite tableware. Next to each set, there was a golden booklet filled with elegant writing, detailing the order, ingredients, and special features of each dish.
Hong Wu turned to Charlie Wade and said, “I’ve prepared a menu in advance. The details are all written down for the four VIPs to review. If anyone has any dietary restrictions or special requests, please let me know at any time!”
Gu Yanzhong picked up one of the booklets and exclaimed, “This handwriting is so beautiful! And the paper looks amazing!” He brought the booklet closer to his nose and added, “The ink has a strong scent. It definitely doesn’t smell modern!”
Hong Wu smiled and praised, “Mr. Gu, you’re quite observant! This was written by a renowned calligrapher from Jinling and the ink is from the first year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty.”
Gu Yanzhong admired, “Boss Hong, you’re incredibly thorough. I’ve seen such good service in Yanjing, but this is impressive!”
Hong Wu quickly replied, “Thank you, Mr. Gu! I usually can’t provide this level of service in Xiangfu, but since Master Ye asked me to prepare for special guests today, I made an extra effort…”
Gu Yanzhong smiled and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Hong!”
Hong Wu respectfully replied, “It’s my pleasure! I won’t take up more of your time. I’ll bring the cake requested by the caregiver when it arrives. If you need anything else, please feel free to ask.”
“Feel free to call me!”
Charlie Wade nodded slightly and said to Hong Wu, “Hong Wu, please order three glasses of plain water.”
