Ma Xiong noticed Xia Ruofei's strange expression and couldn't help but ask, "Xia Sheng, what's wrong? Are you not used to drinking this kind of wine? "
After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh. This noble wine was brought by Xia Ruofei. Xia Ruofei must have felt that it was good, so he shared it with everyone. How could he not be used to drinking it?
Xia Ruofei swallowed the wine in his mouth and said, "No, no, Mr. Ma, I … don't particularly like eating foie gras, so … let them have one less serving!"
Ma Xiong felt a little strange and said, "Really? Xia Sheng, you don't like eating foie gras? I … I remember that the last time you came to Hong Kong, we also had foie gras when you ate at our house! If I remember correctly, you said that it tasted good! "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but think, Why is this old man's memory so good? He can actually remember this kind of detail so clearly! Could it be that I used too many petals of the spirit flower when he had a cerebral infarction?
"Tastes change!" Xia Ruofei said awkwardly, "Anyway, I don't really want to eat it today. Change it to steak for me!"
Xia Ruofei had just heard about the cruel process of producing French foie gras from Old Blake, so he had a little psychological barrier. He didn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder to ask others not to eat foie gras.
He wasn't an animal conservationist. He just wanted to do things with a clear conscience.
"No problem!" Ma Xiong said heartily.
Then he pointed at the waiter beside him. The waiter immediately nodded and turned to leave the room.
The foie gras was just a small episode. It wasn't surprising that Xia Ruofei didn't eat foie gras. After all, everyone had different tastes. Soon, everyone was eating and drinking while chatting. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Ma Xiong had specially flown the French foie gras from Austria. It was carefully cooked by a five-star chef and served one by one.
Of course, Xia Ruofei didn't have such luck. He was served a steak.
Xia Ruofei didn't feel too conflicted when he saw others enjoying foie gras. Moreover, his steak wasn't simple either.
Today's chef personally came over to introduce the steak to everyone. This steak was made with the best ribs from the golden Aquitaine cattle that the Polmard family specially provided.
According to the chef's introduction, golden Aquitaine beef, Black Angus beef, and Kobe beef were listed as the top three beef breeds in the world. Every golden Aquitaine beef was personally raised by a member of the Polmard family. Before entering the slaughterhouse, these beef cattle all enjoyed five-star treatment. They were freely raised on the ranch, accompanied by music, and even had masseuses to serve them …
It was said that this was all to allow the cattle to grow in a relaxed environment, because stress would cause the cattle to produce liver sugar, lactic acid, and adrenaline. These would affect the tension and acidity of the muscles, and the beef would not be soft and delicious enough.
After the golden Aquitaine cattle were slaughtered, the preservation of the beef was also very particular. The Polmard family adopted the "hibernation therapy" that they invented, which meant that the beef was placed in an environment of minus 45 degrees Celsius and accompanied by a cold wind blowing at 120 kilometers per hour. In this way, the meat could be kept fresh forever — the so-called "fresh" referred to the fact that the meat would not be damaged in the slightest.
Xia Ruofei and the others couldn't help but be secretly shocked when they heard this. Such a small piece of beef rib actually had so much to pay attention to. It was no wonder that the price of each piece was more than four thousand dollars, and this was only the price of the raw ingredients. If the cooking of a five-star chef was included, it was quite normal for the price to double in a top Western restaurant.
In other words, it was possible that such a steak could be sold for ten thousand dollars, which was equivalent to more than sixty thousand Huaxia dollars.
This price was nothing to Xia Ruofei. With his current wealth, he basically didn't need to consider the price of this kind of consumption. However, a steak that cost more than sixty thousand dollars still surprised Xia Ruofei.
To put it bluntly, he was still a little unaccustomed to the life of the rich. The luxury of the real top tycoons was often unimaginable to ordinary people, including Xia Ruofei.
This was also why some people's behavior became very strange and ridiculous when they suddenly became rich.
Of course, Xia Ruofei did not have the mentality of a nouveau riche.
He didn't expect that beef could be sold at such a price.
Could he try to raise a beef cow? Just now, the chef seemed to have said that there were three top beef in the world. What were they? Xia Ruofei thought to himself.
He found that his mind seemed to be more active recently. First, after listening to Old Blake's words, he had the idea of raising fat geese. Immediately, when he saw the sky-high price of the steak, he had the idea of raising cattle.
Maybe it's because I haven't opened up a new business recently! Xia Ruofei secretly said to himself.
He was not a person who kept his achievements, and it was not his style to make a lot of money every day step by step.
He, who was still a soldier, still hoped that there could be more challenges in his life and work.
For the current him, he might be able to find greater joy in constantly developing new products, especially high-end and top-notch ones.
Just as Xia Ruofei was thinking, Xu Lang raised his glass and raised it to Xia Ruofei across Ma Xiong. He asked with a smile, "Xia Sheng, has your company's headquarters building started to be used?"
Xia Ruofei also stopped thinking. He raised his glass to Xu Lang and said, "Our company's headquarters has been moved into the new building. Thanks to Uncle Xu, everything is going smoothly at present! "
"Uncle Xu personally arranged the Fengshui for you. It can't be wrong!" Guo Hongjiang said with a smile, "Now the people in Hong Kong waiting to ask Uncle Xu for help can line up from Kowloon to the New Territories!"
Xu Lang said with a smile, "Director Guo, you're wrong this time. Xia Sheng's company headquarters, even without me, can still be prosperous!"
Guo Hongjiang asked in surprise, "Oh? Could it be that the building is located in a treasure land? "
Xu Lang shook his head mysteriously and said, "The Fengshui of the building can only be said to be average, and there are even some small flaws."
"Then I can't understand …" Guo Hongjiang was curious.
Xu Lang laughed and said, "Director Guo, Xia Sheng has good things in his hands! Some of the flaws in the Fengshui are not enough, and they can be easily suppressed! "
"Oh? If it can make Uncle Xu say it's good, it must be a treasure! " Guo Hongjiang said, and then looked at Xia Ruofei, "Xia Sheng, when will you let us see it?"
Xia Ruofei smiled easily and said, "It's just a decoration, and it's in my office! Uncle Xu said it's best not to move it. If Director Guo is interested, I welcome you to Sanshan at any time! "
"I'm interested! Of course, I'm interested! "Guo Hongjiang said," Xia Sheng, then it's a promise! When I go to Sanshan one day, I must see such a treasure! "
Xia Ruofei didn't expect Guo Hongjiang to be so interested. How could he know the status of Xu Lang in the eyes of the rich people in Hong Kong? If Xu Lang said it was good, it must be a rare treasure, and it was a treasure that couldn't be bought with money.
Of course, Guo Hongjiang also had the intention to support Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "No problem! As long as Director Guo is willing, you can look at it for as long as you want. Just don't move it away! "
Everyone burst into laughter.
The meal lasted for about an hour. The ingredients used in each dish were quite expensive, and they were all the best. Naturally, there were vegetables produced by the Taoyuan Company. Hengfeng Group and the Taoyuan Company had a deep cooperation, and the sales of Taoyuan vegetables in Hong Kong were all represented by Hengfeng Group's subsidiary companies.
Except for Feng Jing who often went out with Xia Ruofei, Dong Yun and Pang Hao saw Xia Ruofei socializing outside for the first time.
They saw Xia Ruofei talking and laughing with the top rich people in Hong Kong, who they saw on TV or in the news. Ma Xiong and the others even faintly praised Xia Ruofei, and they couldn't help but feel proud.
In the past, Xia Ruofei didn't seem to care much in the company, and he was polite to everyone. But after coming out, they realized that the boss was actually the boss. Pang Hao felt that if he were to associate with tycoons like Ma Xiong and Guo Hongjiang, he might not be able to speak well.
Xia Ruofei and Ma Xiong sent Guo Hongjiang and the others off.
He whispered to Ma Zhiming at the door of the box, "Mr. Ma, please wait for me here with Aunt Huixin and Huanhuan."
Ma Zhiming didn't know Xia Ruofei's intention, but he immediately nodded and said, "Okay!"
Xia Ruofei and Ma Xiong returned to the banquet box after sending them off.
Ma Xiong wanted to personally send Xia Ruofei back to her room and then talk about tomorrow's auction. Actually, that was just along the way. He wanted to privately order a piece of top-grade truffle, abalone, and caterpillar grass from Xia Ruofei. He wanted to buy some of them.
There were too many people just now, so he couldn't say this. Otherwise, if he, Ma Xiong, took the lead and all the tycoons present made the same request, then half of the goods brought by Xia Ruofei would be divided. How could the auction be held tomorrow?
Ma Xiong saw that Ma Zhiming and the others didn't leave. He couldn't help but feel a little strange and asked, "Zhiming, why didn't you leave? Take Huanhuan back to rest early! You still have school tomorrow. "
Ma Zhiming said, "Daddy, Xia Sheng asked us to stay."
"Oh?" Ma Xiong looked at Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. "Yes! Mr. Ma, let's talk in my room! "
Xia Ruofei's proposal was exactly what Ma Xiong wanted. He immediately nodded and said, "Okay! Xia Sheng, this way please! "
Xia Ruofei was Ma Xiong's savior. Every time they met, Ma Xiong would be very polite to Xia Ruofei. Although it wasn't to the extent of being respectful, it was still quite polite.
Feng Jing and the others had already gone upstairs. Although Xia Ruofei said that Liu Qian would be in charge of the auction, Feng Jing was still a little worried. After dinner, she took Dong Yun, Liu Qian, and Pang Hao to her room. Everyone went through the process and details one last time to avoid any problems.
Xia Ruofei and the four members of the Ma family took the exclusive elevator of the presidential suite to the top floor.
"Xia Ruofei, welcome home!" The butler, Tony, was standing at the door of the suite. When he saw Xia Ruofei, he immediately bowed and greeted him.
After fulfilling his duties, Tony bowed slightly to Ma Xiong and asked.
Ma Xiong nodded slightly and motioned for Tony to open the door.
"Xia Sheng, please!" Ma Xiong moved aside at the door.
Xia Ruofei said, "Mr. Ma, you are the elder. Please go first!"
The two of them pushed each other aside and finally walked in side by side. The presidential suite had two doors that opened on both sides. It was very spacious. There was no problem for four or five people to walk in side by side.
After entering the room, Xia Ruofei asked, "Do you all want to drink anything?"
"Xia Sheng, everyone just finished eating. Don't be busy!" Ma Xiong said with a smile. "Right, you asked Zhiming and the others to stay. Do you have any orders?"
"Oh, it's not a big deal. I just wanted to ask, the pendant I gave to Huanhuan last time, has she always been wearing it?" Xia Ruofei asked.
Tian Huixin heard this and immediately said, "She always wears it close to her body! She doesn't even take it off when she sleeps or baths. Huanhuan likes it very much and doesn't let us touch it! "
The last time Huanhuan was in danger, this pendant suddenly emitted a light and protected Huanhuan at the critical moment. This made the Ma family realize that the pendant Xia Ruofei gave to Huanhuan was an extraordinary treasure. Naturally, they attached great importance to it.
Xia Ruofei had heard Ma Zhiming mention this before.
He smiled and said, "Huanhuan, can you show me that pendant?"
This pendant was Huanhuan's treasure. Usually, even Tian Huixin and Ma Zhiming were not allowed to touch it. However, when Xia Ruofei asked, she immediately nodded and said, "Okay!"
Then, she quickly took off the pendant and handed it to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei smiled and took the pendant. He gently touched Huanhuan's head and said, "Good girl!"
He penetrated the pendant with his spiritual power and immediately realized that the array he had set up before had indeed been activated once. There were very small cracks inside the pendant. Under normal circumstances, this protective array would be activated two or three more times, and the pendant should be completely shattered.
Ma Xiong and the others stared at Xia Ruofei without blinking. They did not know what Xia Ruofei's intention was.
In fact, they had vaguely guessed that Xia Ruofei should be a miraculous person. This could be seen from Xia Ruofei's ability to cure an acute cerebral hemorrhage that even the experts in private hospitals could not do anything about. He also cured Huanhuan's autism.
These were not things that could be done with ordinary medical conditions.
There was also the magical effect of the pendant, which further proved this point.
Now that they saw Xia Ruofei take back the pendant, they were nervous and excited.
Xia Ruofei's expression was very relaxed. His fingers gently stroked the pendant a few times. Then, he smiled and returned the pendant to Huanhuan. He said, "Huanhuan, wear it close to your body. Just like before, don't take it off when you take a bath or sleep. Remember?"
Huanhuan immediately said, "Yes! I will remember! Uncle Xia! "
Then she took the pendant and put it on herself.
