Chapter 788 Beiqi Mansion

Today is July 16th, an ordinary Saturday. However, for Beiqi Mansion, today is a distinguished guest from across the ocean. The mining industry has rapidly spread throughout Asia in recent years, and almost ranks among the top three mining tycoons. The birthday of the great boss Su Huaquan’s beloved wife.

The private kitchen of Beiqi Mansion is the most famous private kitchen in the coastal city and is known as the tongue harvester of the rich. The mansion's bungalow architecture and the refinement of its gardens are among the best in the country. The history of the mansion can be traced back to the Republic of China.

A hundred years ago, this was the private residence of Feng Guozhang, the leader of the Beiyang Warlord Zhili faction. The pro-British and American style of the old landlords made the overall architectural style of the mansion tend to be a combination of European and American styles. The three-stage proportional division focused on the symmetry of the landscape mosaic, so that every year The rent is as high as more than five million.

Therefore, it is not clear whether it is the flashy private dishes or the high-profile and sought-after "upper-class" environment of the mansion itself that actually harvests the rich.

Times have changed, and this place has become the most famous private restaurant in the entire coastal city. The owner of the mansion is very clever, perfectly combining private dining with top-notch food, and actively creating a gimmick for high-class gatherings in private places to attract wealthy gentry.

Most people will probably never know that this place exists. It is said that reservations cannot be made online or over the phone in the store. If you want to make a reservation, you must know the owner or manager of the hotel in person. Even so, the reservation list often goes to After three to four months, it is difficult for ordinary wealthy people to book a place at the right time.

But today, the Beiqi Mansion was booked.

At the entrance of the Beiqi Mansion, at the end of the cobblestone path, in the middle of the bronze lamp beads on both sides, Boss Chen was pacing back and forth a little restlessly. From time to time, he lifted the sleeves of his brown suit and checked the diving watch on his wrist to determine the time. —It is already eight o'clock in the evening. According to the plan, the dinner in the mansion will start at 7:30, but now the kitchen fire is not even lit, and everyone who should be too busy to stay is in the mansion. They eagerly waited for Boss Chen to give orders. But they never imagined that Boss Chen was also waiting eagerly like them, waiting for a customer who should have arrived half an hour ago.

Tonight's dinner is very important. It is almost the most nervous thing that Boss Chen has done this whole year. He has never been so nervous when his wife went to the hospital for a pregnancy test. This only comes from the fact that the distinguished guests in the mansion are so important that they can almost affect the trajectory of his future life.

Su Huaquan, known as Mr. Su, is the CEO of the Su Mining Group. In just one or two years, he has become the top mining tycoon covering the entire Asia-Pacific region. He has a mine at home. This CEO cannot be described simply. What really makes Boss Chen pay attention to him is his attitude. The terrifying and bottomless business circle connects almost all chaebol groups in Europe. Every big shot that Boss Chen can only look up to his whole life has a happy business relationship with Mr. Su.

It is rumored that even the European 'Syndicates' have had business dealings with Su's Mining. This concept is far beyond the imagination of normal people. Most people may not even have heard of 'Syndicate', let alone understand what it refers to. .

In fact, if Mr. Su was just an ordinary wealthy tycoon, Boss Chen probably wouldn't attach so much importance to this dinner. But what made him nervous and excited tonight was that there were rumors that the mining boss had been thinking about the family. The industry is diversified and ready to enter the catering industry!

This news is said to be extremely reliable. Mr. Su is no longer satisfied with being the leader in mining and exports because of his huge network of connections. He is planning to move all the way to real estate, catering and even some gray industrial chains. Boss Chen I highly suspect that the other party who came to their private kitchen this time is to investigate the market under the pretext of his birthday - otherwise, why would Mr. Su repeatedly emphasize that tonight's dinner will be of the highest standard and no mistakes will be made? A normal birthday dinner would not require such a stern warning.

Boss Chen has almost seen that if he performs perfectly tonight and shows his strength, once he can get on Mr. Su's train, the entire industry circle that radiates across Asia will only need to separate a little bit from his fingernails. It was enough for his private kitchen business to become bigger and stronger, and he was no longer just a petty fool, but he could truly become famous in one step.

Therefore, he paid so much attention to President Su that he personally flew back from other places to receive him. He even brought his whole family to congratulate President Su’s beloved wife on her birthday. He took out the hidden menu at the bottom of the hotel box. Even the Beiyang Warlord of the time The dishes that the leaders of the Zhili faction raved about were received according to the highest standards.

All the waiters and attendants of the mansion have been rehearsing today's dinner three days in advance. From the moment they receive the guests, no matter what the guests are interested in, they ask about any piece of art in the mansion, from the history of the mansion to private dishes, every Everyone who is asked must know everything and tell everything. If there is any jam, they will pack up and leave tomorrow.

The chefs in the back kitchen were also well prepared. They typed out the introduction and background of each dish dozens of times. They even prepared more than a dozen private recipes that were never revealed to others, so that Mr. Su’s beloved wife would not be disappointed. Which dish interests me and I want to go home and practice it but I don’t know where to start.

Even Boss Chen’s daughter had already sat in front of the piano in the lobby to perform a soundtrack. In order to understand Mr. Su’s interest in shopping, Mrs. Chen studied his clothes and jewelry style all night long, just to be able to listen to the music while waiting for the reception. Have the capital to chat.

Everything was prepared so well and so perfect that no faults could be found. However, just when all the steps were about to be performed slowly, Mr. Su's sudden words stopped everything:

"There is still one person left, please wait a moment."

This sentence almost made Boss Chen's brain freeze at that time. He even counted the number of Boss Su's family in a daze. Mr. Su, Mr. Su's beloved wife, and Mr. Su's daughter, all three of them were here. .Isn’t tonight a private family dinner for Mr. Su’s wife’s birthday? Could it be that Mr. Su, you still have a wife?

He certainly couldn't ask such a question. After arranging for Mr. Su and his family to rest in the side hall, the enthusiasm of the entire mansion was suddenly extinguished. Everyone fell into the current state of dry waiting. As for what to wait for. ? Who are you waiting for? Even if Mr. Su didn't tell him, Boss Chen wouldn't dare to ask!

Just like that, the time passed to eight o'clock exactly. Boss Chen, who had been blowing the night wind outside the door for half an hour, and his bladder was about to explode, suddenly heard the sound of an engine roaring on the road outside the mansion. , the light of the car lights also shines from a distance, cut by the fallen leaves of the scenery, and sprinkles on the cobblestone road.

He stood up straight, and his intuition told him that the person the entire Beiqi Mansion had been waiting for tonight had finally arrived.

—

The red Porsche 911 was parked on the street of Beiqi Mansion in the coastal city. After the roaring engine was turned off, the evening tranquility instantly enveloped the entire block. The green Luan trees in summer blocked the hustle and bustle of the urban area in the distance. The mansion's carefully restored The gentle bright light of the garden penetrated through the green plants and illuminated Lin Nian's cheek in the window of the red sports car.

After the GPS navigation was completed, Lin Nian picked up the cake on the passenger side on the right. A figure walked out of the mansion in the distance. After walking into the light, he could see clearly that it was the receptionist of the mansion wearing a black suit with the logo. He came quickly. He helped Lin Young gently open the door and asked politely, "Good evening, sir, this is Beiqi Mansion's private kitchen. Have you made a reservation?"

"The location has been determined." Lin Nian looked at the red-lit bungalow and garden behind the attendant. If there were no navigation errors on the GPS, he should have come to the right place.

"What is the reserved name?"

"Su Xiaoqiang." Lin Nian remembered that Su Xiaoqiang asked her to give her name when she arrived.

"Mr. Su has been waiting inside for a long time." The attendant's eyes lit up, and he immediately moved to the door and asked Lin Nian to get out of the car.

"Mr. Su?" Lin Nian subconsciously didn't realize what he was calling him. Under the strange gaze of the other party's blinking eyes, he gradually realized that he was right. In the eyes of the owner of this private restaurant, today's protagonist is definitely not "Su". Miss', but the real powerful father behind 'Miss Su' in the eyes of outsiders.

"I'll park the car for you. Someone else will take you to the mansion." The attendant took the car keys and led Lin Nian to the garden path in a very professional manner. As expected, there was a security guard and attendant holding a flashlight in front of him. Come in steps.

Lin Nian carried the birthday cake and walked along the beautifully decorated garden path. The attendants who followed him along the way used flashlights to illuminate the cobblestone path under their feet, highlighting the attentive service.

When he walked to the door of the mansion, he noticed that a middle-aged man in a brown formal suit and a slim waistcoat had been waiting there for a long time. He looked at his watch from time to time, and when he saw Lin Nian, his eyes immediately lit up and he came up to him.

"Good evening, sir, you are finally here." The man took a deep breath and walked quickly, waving his hand to the waiter with a flashlight to leave, and looking up and down Lin Nian without leaving any trace, "Excuse me, what do you call me?"

"Lin Nian." This was already the third attendant on this stretch of less than a hundred meters. Lin Nian didn't know why there was so much emphasis here, but he still patiently struck up a conversation.

"Introduce yourself, the owner of Beiqi Mansion, just call me Boss Chen." The man who claimed to be the owner of this luxury hotel squinted his eyes and observed Lin Nian, from his appearance to his clothes to his temperament (wearing a white T-shirt and jeans) , 'Ah Chen', 'Xiao Chen', 'Brother Chen' and other titles flashed through my mind, and finally I settled on the name Boss Chen.

Calling Ah Chen is too intimate. Lin Nian is even old enough to be his son, which is a bit inappropriate. The name Xiao Chen is the same, it is only suitable for a casual address from a superior to a subordinate. For example, in front of Mr. Su, he calls himself Xiao Chen. Chen; Under normal circumstances, there is no problem in calling him Brother Chen. A group of people outside are eager to call him Brother to make connections. But now the problem is that the identity of this young man in front of them is very subtle. The other party said that his surname is Lin, not Su. , then the countless possibilities of his identity are instantly reduced.

——This is a son-in-law who is very lucky to call himself "Ah Chen" or "Xiao Chen" if he gets married tonight!

Although judging from the current situation and his performance, at least Boss Chen feels that this kid may not be old anymore, but who can say for sure what will happen next? So now he still chooses to be more conservative in his interactions.

A person like Boss Chen, who has been mixed up in society for many years and has become a master, can make his mind full of worries with just a word of address. Thousands of thoughts flash through him in an instant, and he is constantly pushing himself against the worldly world. But next to him, Lin Nian just looked at him with some sadness the whole time. Holding the cake in his hand and the log clock hanging outside the mansion.

Seeing him like this, Boss Chen didn't know what to do. He immediately opened the door and took him into the corridor, which was full of bright lights and porcelain murals. "Mr. Su has been waiting inside for a long time. It's just you." , the kitchen didn’t turn on the stove before you arrived.”

Lin Nian stepped on the marble floor of the corridor, holding an artistic chandelier on his head, and walked through the astonishingly large white stone statue and spiral staircase in the hall. Boss Chen was quietly observing this handsome man the whole time, but only just A boy with good looks online.

The identity of Chenglong's son-in-law can no longer be shaken off. From driving a "nightclub 911" that costs more than a million dollars at most to appearing in such casual and outrageous outfits, Boss Chen basically relies on his many years of experience. Dead Linnian is a boy who got lucky enough to hook up with Mr. Su's daughter.

This made him surprised and jealous.

The surprise lies in the fact that this kid who just relies on his face to make a living and runs nightclubs with 911 to the mansion can actually hook up with Mr. Su's daughter. The jealousy lies in the fact that his wife has given birth to a daughter. Now it seems that even "Ji Hui" is gone. .

Walking all the way into the mansion, Boss Chen also discovered that this guy had no interest in the luxurious interior decoration of the mansion. He just hurried on, and a lot of introductions he had prepared were of no use. Is this because he regards money as dirt or simply knows that he is Shocked that you were half an hour late?

Boss Chen took a look at the box the unlucky kid was holding. At first glance, it seemed like it was a cake. He couldn't have bought it at Thumbs-up, right?

"How long have Su Xiaoqiang and the others been here first?" Lin Nian asked as he climbed up the hundred-mile stone staircase of the mansion.

"Mr. Su and his wife arrived half an hour ago. Miss Su arrived earlier, about an hour ago." Boss Chen followed Lin Nian and looked down at the diving watch on his wrist. He said regretfully, "You're probably close to forty minutes late."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Nian with a somewhat sympathetic expression, as if he was seeing an examiner who was late for the college entrance examination and felt a little pity.

"Something has delayed us." Lin Nian explained.

What can make you let Mr. Su and his family go for half an hour? It's still my mother-in-law's birthday. Hey, I guess I won't have the chance to call her mother-in-law again.

Boss Chen remained calm. As he followed Lin Nian up the stairs, he winked and gestured at the waiters along the way, indicating that the kitchen could start firing. He hoped that the meal could still go on normally after being half an hour late. After all, according to Boss Chen's temper, if his future son-in-law lets him off for half an hour and still wants to marry his daughter, he has to let this bastard eat the empty plate and then kick him out!

Along the way to the second floor, Boss Chen quickly walked to Lin Nian to lead the way. He stopped when he came to the double wooden door of a side hall. There was a beautiful and melodious piano sound behind the door. It was not like an audio playback but a live performance. Turning to look at Lin Nian, he moistened his lips and said, "Mr. Su and his family have been waiting inside for 'a long time' (he bit the word heavily). Does Mr. Lin need to prepare?"

"What are you preparing for?" Lin Nian asked subconsciously.

Boss Chen sighed inwardly, you deserve to be dumped by Mr. Su all of a sudden. If a quarrel breaks out, will he still have to act as peacemaker? But didn't this immediately ruin his cooperation plan with Mr. Su?

Young people, how unreliable!

He was so filled with hatred that he could only push the door open. In the bright hall behind the door, the three pairs of eyes on the sofa seats that had originally focused on the beautiful performer in front of the grand piano instantly focused on the hand holding the door. Cake on boy.
