Ling Qingxue and Cheng Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, were at a loss. After talking for so long, this manager Bastien was not Xia Ruofei's fan! He was so excited just now. He was more of a fan than a fan!
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mr. Bastien, you used to be our customer! Then I really have to thank you for taking care of our business … "
Bastien quickly said, "You're too kind! You're too kind! I just went with the boss to see the world. The auction really opened our eyes. Our Corner Western Restaurant also gritted our teeth and bought a piece of top-grade black truffle! When I tasted the dishes, the taste was unforgettable … "
"Mr. Bastien, you're too kind!" Xia Ruofei said with a gentle smile.
In fact, some of the white executives working in Huaxia more or less had a sense of superiority, especially in front of local employees.
But in front of Xia Ruofei, Bastien didn't have a trace of arrogance at all. On the contrary, his attitude was very humble, because the gap between the two was too big.
Bastien had seen with his own eyes that Xia Ruofei was talking and laughing with the super-rich in Hong Kong. One auction made a net profit of ten to twenty million dollars, while their Corner Western Restaurant could only pick up a few truffles that the rich weren't interested in. They weren't on the same level at all.
Bastien asked enthusiastically, "Mr. Xia, our boss hasn't forgotten when your company will auction truffles again! The truffle harvest season is almost over … "
Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment. The Ring-Tu space was like spring all year round, so he wasn't particularly sensitive to the harvest time of crops. After the truffles were dug out, they were stored in the space. Anyway, they wouldn't go bad. In theory, he could take out truffles to auction at any time.
But in fact, the truffles' harvest season was only a few months from the end of the year to the beginning of the year, and they were preserved for a very short time. So if they were taken out during other periods of time, even if they were rare, it would definitely cause an uproar because it was already against the rules of nature.
At the end of last year, they had cooperated with Hengfeng to auction truffles. Since then, they had been busy until now. It was almost the end of the season, but they still hadn't organized a second auction.
Xia Ruofei still had a lot of top quality truffles in his space. He felt that he could take advantage of this harvest season to hold another auction. Otherwise, if he wanted to make money again, he would have to wait at least until November or December.
And Xia Ruofei suddenly had a better idea, which was that this auction could not only auction truffles, but also some high-end products produced by the Taoyuan Company.
Imagine how shocking it would be if large pieces of top quality truffles, top quality one head abalone, top quality old ginseng, top quality cordyceps, top quality Dendrobium ironhide … If all of them appeared at the auction, how shocking would it be?
And these products, without exception, were all branded with the Taoyuan Company's trademark. It could be imagined that the Taoyuan Company could happily harvest a lot of fame at that time.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but have an impulse to immediately arrange things.
He smiled and said to Bastien, "We plan to hold an auction in the near future. It is expected that the scale will be much larger than the auction at the end of last year. And the auction items may not be limited to the top quality truffles. Some of our company's high-end ingredients and herbs, such as abalone, ginseng, cordyceps, and so on, will appear at the auction!"
Bastien was very excited when he heard this. He said, "God! This is really wonderful news! Mr. Xia, I think our boss, Mr. Boris, will be overjoyed if he knows! "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You can tell him the good news, but we haven't announced the detailed arrangements for the auction yet. Before that, I hope that the news won't be leaked!"
Bastien immediately said, "Don't worry! Mr. Xia, I promise that our Western Restaurant around the corner will keep this secret for you! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. Then, he glanced at Cheng Xiaoxiao and asked, "Mr. Bastien, I want to take a picture with Miss Cheng Xiaoxiao. This … This won't affect your work, right?"
"Of course not!" Bastien said without hesitation. "I think that Cheng Xiaoxiao would feel very honored!"
In fact, Bastien knew very well that it was Cheng Xiaoxiao who had violated the work rules and asked Xia Ruofei for an autograph and a picture. However, Xia Ruofei had made it clear that he would protect his fellow fan. Unless Bastien's head had been kicked by a donkey, it was impossible for him to speak out against Xia Ruofei at this time.
As for punishing Cheng Xiaoxiao, that was even more impossible.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was surprised and happy when she heard this. She thought that she would be "doomed" today. She didn't expect that things would take a turn for the better. Moreover, Xia Ruofei had personally exonerated her, which moved her to tears. As a fan, she felt that she was very lucky to have met such an idol.
Xia Ruofei and Cheng Xiaoxiao finished taking a picture together. Ling Qingxue had taken a few more pictures of the two of them.
After the picture was taken, Bastien immediately said, "Mr. Xia, and this beautiful lady, I won't disturb you two from eating! I hope that the restaurant around the corner will leave you two with good memories! "
Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue smiled and expressed their gratitude.
After Bastien left, Cheng Xiaoxiao patted her chest and said with lingering fear, "I was scared to death … I thought that I was going to lose my job! Boss Xia, thank you so much this time! You are indeed my idol! You've never let us down before! Boss Xia, I will be your die-hard fan for life! I will go to the forum and tell everyone what happened today! "
Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't wait for the popularity to die down! He had to wear a mask and sunglasses when he went out, so he really didn't have much freedom. However, Cheng Xiaoxiao was so enthusiastic that he didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm. He could only smile awkwardly and express his gratitude.
Cheng Xiaoxiao said, "By the way, there is now a Tieba forum named after you. There are many active fans every day. Can you go there and say hello to them? They will be very excited when they see it! And the cohesion of the fans will increase a lot. Although there are a few die-hard fan groups now, they are all spontaneous actions. No one has as much appeal as you! "
Xia Ruofei said, "This … Okay! If I have time, I will go and take a look. Thank you for your support … "
Xia Ruofei was obviously a little perfunctory. Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed after hearing this.
Ling Qingxue saw this and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, don't worry! I will agree on behalf of Ruofei! "
"Really?" Cheng Xiaoxiao was overjoyed when she heard this. "President Ling's words will definitely be effective! I thank you on behalf of the fans! "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel speechless. What does she mean by "President Ling's words will definitely be effective"? Do I really look like a henpecked husband?
Seeing Xia Ruofei's deflated look, Ling Qingxue couldn't help but chuckle.
Cheng Xiaoxiao reacted at this time and quickly said, "Oh right, you haven't ordered yet! It's all my fault. I was too excited when I saw Boss Xia and forgot about the important matter! "
Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "We won't order. Help us prepare a few dishes! Just choose the ones you think are most suitable for us! "
"Really?" Cheng Xiaoxiao asked. "Then … then I will order for you!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao was naturally very excited to be able to prepare dishes for her idol.
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. He said, "Well, we will leave it to you to decide what we eat!"
"Okay!" Cheng Xiaoxiao said as if she had received a glorious and great task. She puffed out her chest and said, "Boss Xia, don't worry. I will prepare it carefully. I promise not to let you down!"
After that, Cheng Xiaoxiao reluctantly left the table.
Xia Ruofei looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao's back and then looked at Ling Qingxue, who had been holding back her laughter. He said angrily, "Laugh if you want to! The King's Woman! "
When Ling Qingxue heard the nickname given to her by the netizens, she couldn't help but blush. Then, she burst out laughing.
Xia Ruofei then complained, "Qingxue, why did you agree to Cheng Xiaoxiao's request just now?"
"What?" Ling Qingxue was stunned for a moment. Then, she reacted. "Are you talking about going to Tieba to say hello? I think it's pretty good! It's more cohesive to interact with fans often! I think what Xiaoxiao said is quite reasonable! "
"What's the reason?" Xia Ruofei was a little mad. "I am now thinking about when the popularity on the Internet will drop a little! You, on the other hand, agreed to do this job for me. Isn't that counterproductive?! "
"Ruo Fei, just give up on this idea!" Ling Qingxue said with a smile. "Actually, you are still very popular on the Internet. Your popularity doesn't seem to be dropping at all. It doesn't matter if you post on Tieba or not …"
"Life is hard. Don't ruin it, okay?" Xia Ruofei said gloomily.
Ling Qingxue chuckled and said, "Since you promised the little girl, how can you go back on your words? Since the dishes haven't been served yet, why don't you fulfill your promise first? Oh right, you don't have a Baidu account, right? Don't worry! I will provide a one-stop service. I will help you register! "
Then, Ling Qingxue reached out and took Xia Ruofei's phone. She lit up the screen and said, "Unlock it! Why are you in a daze? Forget it, I will do it myself! "
Then, Ling Qingxue grabbed Xia Ruofei's hand and pressed his finger against the fingerprint scanner. After trying two fingers, Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly and said, "It's the left index finger!"
"You should have said so earlier!" Ling Qingxue rolled her eyes at Xia Ruofei and successfully unlocked the phone.
She skillfully downloaded the Tieba app and started to register a new account.
"Xia Ruofei … His name is taken … Ruofei … His name is also taken …" Ling Qingxue said as she tried, "I don't believe it! Why are there so many people fighting for your name? I will change it again … "
After Ling Qingxue entered a few words, she couldn't help but laugh. Then, she showed the phone screen to Xia Ruofei and said, "Even this is taken …"
Xia Ruofei took a look and couldn't help but laugh. Ling Qingxue had just tried an ID called "Overbearing CEO Xia Ruofei." It also indicated that the nickname already existed.
In the end, after a few experiments, he settled for the second-best name, "Real Xia Ruofei," and finally registered successfully.
Ling Qingxue wrote a short paragraph of content on her phone excitedly, then posted the post.
The post was actually very standard. The title was "Hello everyone! I am Xia Ruofei. Thank you for your support! ". The content of the post was nothing more than a greeting to the fans in Xia Ruofei's tone and hoped that everyone would continue to support her in the future.
It had to be said that Xia Ruofei's Tieba fan activity was very high. Although there were many posts like this every day and 99.99% of them were fake goods, there were still many people who clicked on it when they saw the title.
After Ling Qingxue posted the post, she refreshed it a few times and found that there were already a few comments. She said excitedly, "Ruofei, someone left a comment!"
However, when she saw the content of the comment, she couldn't help but say, "Why does everyone believe it?"
The following posts all didn't believe it. Some said that this method of deceiving clicks had been used by people too many times. Some carefully counted and said that this was the 386th post of Xia Ruofei pretending to be Xia Ruofei. There were also directly ridiculing that they were Ling Qingxue … The real Ling Qingxue was speechless.
Xia Ruofei took a look at his phone and couldn't help but laugh. He said, "Just what I wanted. He didn't go back on his word to Cheng Xiaoxiao, and he didn't cause trouble. It's perfect!"
Ling Qingxue pouted and said, "Is there any basic trust between people? No! I don't believe that no one will believe it when I posted it. "
After that, Ling Qingxue took Xia Ruofei's phone again.
Xia Ruofei didn't stop her. He just laughed and said, "Wife, don't make a futile attempt. No one will believe it because I almost never interact with my fans. I don't even post much on Weibo …"
Ling Qingxue's eyes flashed with a trace of slyness. She typed on her phone and said, "That's not necessarily true. Who said that I don't have a way? Just wait and see! "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Okay! I'll see what my wife hasn't done yet! "
On this side, Ling Qingxue was competing with Tieba, and Xia Ruofei was watching from the side. On the other side, Cheng Xiaoxiao quickly ordered for Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue.
As soon as she finished ordering, Bastien pulled her aside and said, "Cheng, before Mr. Xia leaves the restaurant, you just focus on serving that table. You don't have to worry about anything else! You must make sure that Mr. Xia and that beautiful lady are satisfied! "
Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't ask for more. She immediately said, "Okay! Mr. Bastien! "
Bastien then said, "Also, give them a Burgundy Snail and a bottle of 1990 Marquis Wang Dry Red. Tell them that it's a gift from the restaurant around the corner!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't help but gasp when she heard that.
She didn't expect Bastien to be so generous. The Burgundy Snail was a famous dish in the restaurant, and it was also one of the signature dishes of the restaurant's French chef. Not only that, but he also gave them a Marquis Wang Dry Red from 1990. This gift was extraordinary.
Marquis Wang Dry Red was one of the most famous wineries in the Bordeaux region. The bottle of Marquis Wang Dry Red that Bastien mentioned just now easily cost a few thousand dollars. As far as Cheng Xiaoxiao knew, the restaurant around the corner only had three bottles of 1990 Marquis Wang Dry Red, and it wasn't for sale. It wasn't even on the wine list, so the customers couldn't order it even if they wanted to.
