Xia Ruofei went to the stage and expressed his gratitude to everyone. He also announced that the new truffle season at the end of the year would continue. The Taoyuan Company would still introduce high-quality truffles to the market, and at the same time, gradually enter the field of other high-end ingredients. He welcomed everyone's cooperation.
The Taoyuan Company's contact number and Xia Ruofei's WeChat QR code were displayed on the big screen. Many people in the catering industry took out their mobile phones to record the number and scanned the code to add Xia Ruofei's WeChat QR code.
Gu Hongyang, Ge Long, and other rich people also paid attention to the number. This truffle auction had left a deep impression on them. They knew that the top ingredients were hard to come by. The Taoyuan Company was already qualified to get their attention.
The total turnover of this auction reached about 2.2 million US dollars. Excluding the relevant costs of the venue, personnel, and so on, the net income should be about 2.17 million US dollars, which was more than 14 million Huaxia dollars.
This was the largest single income that Xia Ruofei had ever earned.
However, Xia Ruofei didn't think that this was the biggest gain.
In his opinion, the biggest gain of this trip was that he had made a name for Taoyuan. Moreover, he had made a name for himself directly in the high-end catering industry and among the super-rich. He had also successfully established the image of Taoyuan as a high-end and high-quality company. This could be said to be of great benefit to his future development.
Everyone began to slowly leave as they chatted.
Xia Ruofei also walked off the stage. Monica was chatting with Ma Xiong and others with a smile on her face. Lu You also stood by with a very playful expression.
Xia Ruofei walked over with a wry smile and asked, "Monica, what are you playing at?"
Monica asked with a smile, "Xia, there is no law that says that those who sell truffles are not allowed to buy them, right?"
"No, but …" Xia Ruofei was speechless. "The point is, what are you going to do with it? Your family doesn't lack this … "
Monica smiled and said, "My grandfather's birthday is in two days. He has been in the truffle business all his life. I believe he will be very happy to see this super white truffle at his birthday party."
"I see …" Xia Ruofei nodded. "Then it's not difficult to understand!"
Lu You turned her head to the side and curled her lips without a trace, as if she felt that this reason was not convincing.
At this moment, Monica asked with a smile, "Xia, is our agreement from this morning still valid?"
Ma Xiong and the others immediately looked at Xia Ruofei at the same time, revealing a tacit smile. Lu You also glanced at Xia Ruofei with disdain.
Xia Ruofei was speechless. At this moment, Monica was still looking at him with a smile, waiting for an answer. He could only smile bitterly and say, "Of course!"
Then Xia Ruofei said, "We're going back tomorrow afternoon. May I have the honor of inviting you to lunch?"
"I'd love to!" Monica said with a charming smile. "Then I'll wait for your call?"
"Okay, okay …" Xia Ruofei felt that Ma Xiong and the others' gazes made him uneasy, so he quickly said.
Monica giggled, nodded politely to Ma Xiong, and then turned to leave.
Ma Xiong looked at Monica's graceful back and laughed. He gave Xia Ruofei a thumbs up and said, "Xia Sheng, being handsome is indeed an advantage! I admire you … "
Ma Zhiming also said, "I've heard that Miss Grasso has high standards. Many rich people want to get close to her, but they all return in failure! Xia Sheng is amazing! "
Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly and said, "Don't make fun of me. There's really nothing between me and her. We just met when we were working out and chatted for a while …"
At this moment, Lu You said, "Don't be modest. You must be very happy now!"
"How could I …"
"Aunty, Uncle, I'm a little tired. Can we go back now?" Lu You said directly.
"Ah?" Tian Huixin was stunned and quickly said, "Oh! Go back, go back! There's nothing else … "
"Okay!"
After Lu You finished speaking, she took the lead and walked forward. Tian Huixin quickly followed with Huanhuan in her arms.
Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly. He walked side by side with Ma Xiong and headed out of the door.
At this moment, Ma Xiong asked seriously, "Xia Sheng, what are you going to do about Blake's matter?"
Xia Ruofei's face turned cold and said, "Slandering our Taoyuan Company in public. This matter won't end so easily. Unless he issues an apology statement on the mainstream media, I'll see you in court!"
Ma Xiong nodded and said, "Okay, I know your attitude. Xia Sheng, I'll contact a few of my friends who are attending tonight's auction. We'll work together to put pressure on Blake's Restaurant Group to make him come out and apologize! This young man is really outrageous! "
Xia Ruofei was touched and said, "Mr. Ma, thank you very much!"
Ma Xiong was really nice to him. If this matter was really serious, there would be a lot of wrangling. Even if Blake had said those slanderous words in public, the people present today were all super-rich and high-end restaurant industry people. How many of them would be willing to testify for Xia Ruofei?
Especially those in the restaurant industry, they definitely wouldn't want to offend Blake's Restaurant Group, which enjoyed a good reputation on a global scale.
If Ma Xiong worked together with a few super-rich people to put pressure on Blake's Restaurant Group, the situation would definitely be different. It was very likely that the other party would be forced to make Blake come out and apologize under pressure.
Xia Ruofei was very clear that the reason why Ma Xiong was so nice to him was largely because of his superb "medical skills." There was no one who wasn't afraid of death, especially these super-rich people who cherished their lives even more.
But in society, it was impossible to have no relationship with benefits. If you had something that was worthy of people's attention, that was also your ability.
Moreover, Ma Xiong's attitude towards Xia Ruofei wasn't that of simply using him. There was also a big factor of gratitude. Ma Xiong's life was saved by Xia Ruofei, and Huanhuan's illness was cured by Xia Ruofei. This was tantamount to giving Ma Xiong and Huanhuan a second life.
Ma Xiong was also a person who knew how to repay kindness. This was very much in line with Xia Ruofei's temperament.
The two of them chatted as they walked, and Tian Huixin and the others who were not far in front of them were also chatting.
Tian Huixin said with a smile, "Youyou, why do I see that you're a little unhappy?"
"No, auntie …"
"Is it because of Xiao Xia and that Italian girl?" Tian Huixin asked with a smile. "I think it's very good! If Xiao Xia has the ability to get that girl, it can be considered as winning glory for the country! "
Lu You's expression became even uglier.
Tian Huixin looked at Lu You thoughtfully and asked half-jokingly, "Youyou, don't tell me you've fallen for Xiao Xia?"
"How is that possible? Auntie, what are you thinking? "Lu You's reaction was very big." How could I fall for someone like him? It's just that one of my best friends has secretly liked him for a long time. I really didn't expect this guy to be such a playboy. I just feel that it's not worth it for my best friend … "
Tian Huixin smiled meaningfully and asked, "Really?"
"Of course!"
At this time, Huanhuan, who was in Tian Huixin's arms, suddenly pointed at Lu You and said, "Dad, Mom, Sister Youyou is jealous!"
Tian Huixin and Ma Zhiming looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Lu You's face was even redder. She said angrily, "Huanhuan, what nonsense are you talking about? You little Huang Mao girl, do you know what eating … that is? "
Huanhuan looked up and said seriously, "I know! It's all like this in TV dramas. Look … You're blushing … "
"I … I really regret watching those TV dramas with you …" Lu You touched her forehead and said, "I swear, I won't let you watch those messy idol dramas anymore …"
Tian Huixin was even more overjoyed. She almost couldn't hold Huanhuan properly. Ma Zhiming quickly came over to support her.
At this time, Xia Ruofei and Ma Xiong had already walked up.
Xia Ruofei saw this and asked with a smile, "What's making you so happy? You're all so happy … "
Tian Huixin smiled and glanced at Lu You, then said, "Nothing, nothing … Huanhuan just said …"
"Auntie!" Lu You stomped her feet and said coquettishly, "Are we leaving or not?"
"Okay, okay, okay, let's go …" Tian Huixin said with a smile, "Oh right, Xiao Xia, you already have an appointment with a beauty tomorrow. We'll pick you up directly in the afternoon!"
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei replied, "Take care! I won't walk you guys down … "
Lu You couldn't wait to walk to the elevator. Ma Xiong and the others said goodbye to Xia Ruofei and left together.
Xia Ruofei stood there and thought for a while. He felt that Tian Huixin and her husband's smiles were very strange, but he couldn't figure out why. He could only shake his head and walk back to the elevator for the presidential suite.
