Just then, Jiang Cheng received a WeChat message from Wang Zheng.
He said he wanted to arrange a dinner at Aman at Yangyun tonight and asked Jiang Cheng to grace them with his presence.
Jiang Cheng looked at the message and did not refuse.
If he were to attend university in Modu in the future, necessary social activities would definitely be indispensable.
To thrive in this society, one cannot be a lone wolf.
As the saying goes, 'more friends, more paths,' and while it might not sound pleasant, it is a reality.
Moreover, he happened to be at Aman at Yangyun, which was perfect for using the unused dining cashback card.
Jiang Cheng called Wang Zheng, stating that he was staying at Aman at Yangyun and asking him to come directly.
Seeing Jiang Cheng return, Wang Yuyan immediately greeted him respectfully: "Mr. Jiang, welcome home."
"Manager Wang, I'll be hosting some friends later. Please have the chef come over and prepare the most expensive dishes. Including myself, there will be five people tonight. Serve the maw of the large yellow croaker, the Alba white truffle, and the Fantasy Sundae. For the rest, you can decide."
When Jiang Cheng ordered two large yellow croaker maws, which are fish maws, Wang Yuyan was instantly stunned.
The large yellow croaker, also known as (small-beard golden croaker), is a fish species unique to our Huaxia, distributed in the estuarine waters of some southern rivers, and can grow up to 150 cm, belonging to the large fish in the croaker family.
Its fish maw is highly prized for its efficacy, once being purchased for about three million RMB.
Wang Yuyan quickly recovered, nodding immediately: "Okay, Mr. Jiang. Currently, the price of the large yellow croaker maw at our hotel is over a million. For your group, you'll only need a portion, so the price should be around five hundred thousand. Is that acceptable to you?"
Five hundred thousand? No problem at all. If he wasn't afraid of appearing like a nouveau riche by ordering too much, he wouldn't mind ordering ten.
However, even if he was going to fleece the system, he had to consume reasonably.
Truly enjoying life is what makes a Godly Tycoon.
Given his current situation, even if he splurged every day, it would be enough to live a life of comfort.
Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, you handle it. If it's not enough, just serve a bit more."
"It will definitely be enough. I'll go prepare it now."
Half an hour later, Wang Yuyan, bustling, appeared at the courtyard entrance of Jiang Cheng's pavilion villa with three chefs, several waiters, and several trolleys of ingredients.
Wang Yuyan wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Jiang Cheng, asking: "Mr. Jiang, shall we start preparing now?"
Looking at the fresh, colorful ingredients on the trolleys, Jiang Cheng nodded in satisfaction: "Let's start now."
Wang Zheng had just sent a WeChat message.
According to him, they were almost at the entrance of Aman at Yangyun.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Cheng asked Wang Yuyan to go to the entrance of Aman to welcome Wang Zheng and his companions.
Seeing the private butler come out to greet them, Wang Zheng and another young man dressed in designer clothes both appeared very calm.
In contrast, the two girls accompanying them seemed utterly awestruck, their eyes wide with wonder as soon as they stepped into the Aman at Yangyun lobby, captivated by its opulent splendor.
After Wang Yuyan led them to Jiang Cheng's pavilion villa, the two girls' eyes widened even further.
A panoramic open-air balcony, a swimming pool, a hot spring area, and a natural small river flowing by the entrance... This was a world apart from the hotels they usually stayed in. Both couldn't help but exclaim silently in their hearts: "This is the presidential suite at Aman at Yangyun. What an eye-opener!"
As the two girls were still in shock, Jiang Cheng walked out from inside and said to them with a smile: "You've arrived, welcome, welcome."
Wang Zheng walked towards Jiang Cheng with a grin, familiarly putting his arm around his shoulder: "Sorry, brother, I was supposed to treat you to dinner, but I didn't expect to bring so many people to freeload."
"What's there to say? It's just a meal. What's the difference if you treat or I treat? Everyone, please come in." Jiang Cheng's words gave Wang Zheng ample face, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.
"Come, come, let me introduce you. This is my brother Chen Hao, Young Master Chen, whose family sells coal and transports goods by train every day. And these two are my female companions," Wang Zheng said to Jiang Cheng.
Wang Zheng's introduction was very clear; evidently, among the three who came, only Chen Hao was in the same circle and of the same caliber as him.
As for the two unnamed female companions, they were unimportant, likely just invited to join for dinner.
Chen Hao actively extended his hand to Jiang Cheng: "I've heard Old Wang talk about you a lot these past two days. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Jiang Cheng extended his hand and shook his, then glanced at Chen Hao, who wore a string of oily green jade beads around his neck and a pair of LV shoes on his feet.
This attire... it was quite fresh and unconventional, after all, not many young people liked jade.
Chen Hao spoke again: "I heard Old Wang say you bought his LaFerrari?"
Jiang Cheng nodded: "It was fate."
"Haha, that kind of fate is rare. If you had bought it later, this guy would have had to pick up the car himself, and then he would have been short on cash. If he was short on cash, he would have had to sell it at a discount, a huge loss. Honestly, Old Wang really should thank you..."
Wang Zheng immediately said: "Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense. Who would pick up a car and immediately sell it? Are you cursing me? Jiang Cheng and I just have a connection."
"..."
The three of them chatted as they walked inside.
Jiang Cheng glanced at the two other internet-famous young women.
Both of them had a beauty score of around eighty, making them beauties above average.
Moreover, their friendliness towards Jiang Cheng had both reached 60 points, which falls within the range of ordinary friends. This value was already quite high for people meeting for the first time.
Once inside, Jiang Cheng greeted them: "Manager Wang said the food here is quite distinctive. Let's all try it."
Chen Hao echoed with a nod: "The food at Aman Hotel here is indeed of a high standard, but I haven't tried their live cooking yet. Today, I'm benefiting from your generosity, Brother Jiang. How long have you been in Modu?"
Jiang Cheng waved his hand at both of them: "Don't call me 'brother.' You should be older than me, just call me by my name. Today should be the fourth day, I think."
Jiang Cheng really couldn't stand being called 'brother' by men older than him.
And Wang Zheng and Chen Hao were not from ordinary families.
Everyone calling him that was just a polite formality for a first meeting.
If you pretended to be a big shot and took it seriously, then that friendship might not last.
"Alright, alright, the three of us don't need to bother with such formalities," Wang Zheng chimed in.
He had a very easygoing personality.
However, Jiang Cheng quite liked this personality; compared to those with deep thoughts, this kind of personality was more comfortable to be around.
Then Wang Zheng asked Jiang Cheng again: "Did you see any good cars at the auto show?"
"I browsed around and just bought a Ferrari 488 and a Lamborghini Aventador."
"Oh, you bought two at once, you rich man! When will the cars be arranged for the road?" Chen Hao asked after taking a sip of red wine.
"The Ferrari was just arranged."
"That was quick! The 488 must be over eight million, right? Normally, it would take at least two days to process, but you got it on the spot."
After Chen Hao finished speaking, he exchanged glances with Wang Zheng.
Both knew that Jiang Cheng was not short on money.
After all, someone who bought a Ferrari LaFerrari in full wouldn't resort to installments for these two, would he?
The two girls nearby listened to their conversation and were secretly astonished once again.
Just then, Wang Yuyan led people in to serve the dishes.
After a table of dishes was laid out, Jiang Cheng gestured for everyone to eat.
Wang Zheng looked at the dishes on the table, examined them for a moment, and then exclaimed, "Brother, this is truly a grand gesture! You've made me feel quite embarrassed. This is Alba white truffle, right? And this, this is fish maw, right?"
Jiang Cheng nodded: "Large yellow croaker maw."
Wang Zheng also leaned in to look, and after a careful gaze, he nodded: "Jiang Cheng, this is too extravagant. This can't be cheap."
One of the girls looked at the seemingly ordinary cooked fish maw on the table and asked cautiously: "Is this large yellow croaker maw very expensive?"
The other girl also licked her lips, awaiting the answer.
Wang Yuyan, seeing the guests' question, immediately answered thoughtfully: "The large yellow croaker is one of the four most expensive seafoods in the world, and its maw is especially precious. This pot's price today is over five hundred thousand."
"And this is the Italian Alba white truffle. It is also extremely valuable, with a price of several hundred US dollars per gram..."
After listening to Wang Yuyan's introduction, the eyes of the two girls instantly widened.
Crucially, Jiang Cheng noticed that both of their friendliness values towards him suddenly increased by twenty points.
One meal ended up costing nearly a million yuan.
If this price were in their hometowns, it could buy a large apartment several hundred square meters in size.
And now, the two of them were actually going to eat that million yuan.
Thinking of this, the two girls felt both vain and pained.
However, since the fact was already set, the two could only turn their sorrow into appetite, secretly beginning to eat these delicacies they had never tasted before.
During the meal, the two girls kept taking various photos, an act that made Wang Zheng's face darken with a hint of helplessness.
After a harmless little interlude, Wang Zheng said to Jiang Cheng: "Old Jiang, thanks for the treat tonight. How about we go to the Bund for a drink later?"
Jiang Cheng checked the time; it was almost ten at night. Moreover, he had already had some alcohol earlier and now just wanted a good night's sleep.
So he politely declined: "To be honest, I already had a drink with my classmate earlier. I'm a bit sleepy now. Let's hang out next time."
Wang Zheng didn't insist, saying with a laugh: "Then I'll book a large booth at TAX X tomorrow night in advance, and we'll have a good time."
After Jiang Cheng treated Wang Zheng to this million-dollar meal, Wang Zheng immediately expressed his desire to return the favor.
Jiang Cheng appreciated his reciprocal behavior.
After all, when making friends, give and take is the best approach.
This kind of behavior, showing no desire to take advantage, is the correct way to make friends.
After seeing off Wang Zheng and the others, Jiang Cheng enjoyed a comfortable hot bath in the bathtub, then lay directly on the leather sofa, browsing on his phone.
Just then, Wang Yuyan walked in with tonight's dining bill.
"Mr. Jiang, this is tonight's dining expense. Please take a look."
Jiang Cheng took the bill and looked at it; the total consumption was 1.58 million.
After reading it, he took out his bank card from his wallet in the cabinet and handed it directly to Wang Yuyan.
"Okay, swipe the card."
"Alright, please wait a moment." After the card swipe was successful, Wang Yuyan withdrew, leaving the private space to Jiang Cheng.
Yu Xiaoxiao did not come to find Jiang Cheng tonight.
It must be said that Yu Xiaoxiao was a very sensible woman.
When Jiang Cheng didn't look for her, she wouldn't actively seek him out, nor would she check up on him.
Lying on the bed, he checked the payment information from earlier.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for successfully using the Dining Cashback Card. The total consumption for this transaction is 1.58 million."
"Congratulations to the host for receiving 20 times cashback! The cashback multiplier will be multiplied by the number of diners to determine the final cashback amount."
"The total cashback is 158 million. Would the host like to withdraw it to the bank card?"
Looking at the cashback amount, Jiang Cheng happily clicked "Extract Immediately."
He hadn't expected that inviting a few people to dinner could result in over a hundred million in cashback.
This meal was truly worth it...
