My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 92: Ten Million Cash

Only Chen Tianwen’s old face twitched as he hurriedly stepped forward, leaned in, and asked cautiously, "You are Old Mr. Lai, aren’t you?"

The red-nosed elder glanced at Chen Tianwen thoughtfully and nodded slightly, "You are Tianwen, right? This Bright Moon Building is your restaurant."

Chen Tianwen’s expression became extremely agitated, and he stammered, "That, uh, I didn’t expect you to still remember me. Did you come here to eat?"

Everyone around was stunned. Chen Tianwen was also a prominent figure in Qingshan City. Even if he met the mayor, he probably wouldn’t be this agitated. Everyone began to speculate about the elder’s identity.

"Yes, I came here this time specifically to try the ten million RMB Su Mei Fish dish," said Old Mr. Lai.

Chen Tianwen glared fiercely at Su Xuan and quickly tried to appease with a smile, "Old Mr. Lai, you are mistaken. There’s no ten million RMB Su Mei Fish. It’s just my daughter’s mischief. I’ve already had them take down the sign. If you want to eat Su Mei Fish, I’ll have them prepare it for you right now."

Chen Tianwen was very aware of Old Mr. Lai’s influence and knew that if he dared sell him a dish for ten million RMB, his Bright Moon Building would have to close its doors the next day.

Old Mr. Lai, looking puzzled, asked, "Was the Su Mei Fish served earlier prepared by Su Xuan?"

"Yes," replied Chen Tianwen, feeling a bit foolish at the moment, mechanically.

"That’s correct then." Old Mr. Lai’s face broke into a childlike smile: "As long as it is made by Su Xuan, it’s worth ten million."

"What!"

Upon hearing this statement, everyone around was dumbfounded, their eyes darting back and forth between Su Xuan and Old Mr. Lai. Some even dug at their ears, wondering if they had heard wrong.

Old Mr. Lai seemed to have anticipated such a reaction and, ignoring the crowd, approached Su Xuan with an apologetic smile, "Su, I’ve come all this way. Please do me the honor and let me taste your Su Mei Fish dish."

"Can’t do it," Su Xuan spread his hands, looking indifferent.

Chen Tianwen, a bit frantic, came up behind Su Xuan and urged in a low voice, "You’ve boasted so much earlier; how can you not make it now? Let me tell you, no matter what, you have to get that dish done today."

Su Xuan looked at Chen Tianwen as if he were looking at an idiot, "It was you who just had the sign removed and told me to get out of Bright Moon Building. How can I make it?"

"I..." Chen Tianwen, desperately scratching his ear and cheek, was at a loss. He had never expected that the ultimate problem would be someone he couldn’t afford to offend, and he could only seek help with a pleading look from his daughter.

"Su Xuan, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and cook for Old Mr. Lai," Wanqing signaled to Su Xuan with her eyes.

Su Xuan stretched lazily and yawned, "Forget it. I’ve been annoyed by some people today, and I don’t feel like cooking now."

Before Chen Tianwen could say anything, Old Mr. Lai intervened with an apologetic smile, "It’s understandable if Su is in a bad mood. I can wait. Once you’re in a better mood, then I’ll eat."

"This..."

Chen Tianwen, with a dark expression, was completely dumbfounded; he vaguely realized that Old Mr. Lai must know Su Xuan and had come specifically for his renown, and he was giving a lot of face to Su Xuan.

"Alright, considering you’re so understanding, I’ll make it for you today. But I want my ten million in cash. Whenever you bring it over, that’s when I’ll cook for you," Su Xuan finally spoke.

"That’s easy to handle. I’ll have someone deliver it within fifteen minutes," said Old Mr. Lai, signaling to his bodyguard, then turned and walked with his team towards the interior of Bright Moon Building, surrounding Su Xuan.

Wanqing and the others quickly followed.

Outside, Sun Zhi’ai was completely flabbergasted and whispered secretly, "Uncle Chen, who exactly is that old man? Why are you so polite to him?"

"Lai Feilong, from the Lai family of Beijing. Ever heard of them? He is the Sect Leader of the Lai family," Chen Tianwen said in a lowered voice.

"What..."

Sun Zhi’ai’s mouth dropped open in surprise as if he could swallow a goose egg, and he just couldn’t close it.

Being from a business family himself, he naturally had heard of the Lai family and was aware of their influence.

The million-dollar meal at Bright Moon Building had been the focus of everyone around for some time, and news that someone had ordered the dish spread throughout Qingshan City in a very short period of time.

When some people came over, curious to see for themselves, they discovered that Bright Moon Building was entirely under tight security, the entrance guarded by heavily armed, formidable bodyguards, and even various police cars patrolling the vicinity.

All these abnormalities invariably highlighted the extremely noble and sensitive status of this time’s guest. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

In the main hall of Bright Moon Building, including Chen Tianwen, all the staff of Bright Moon Building lined up neatly, standing respectfully on the side, waiting to be directed.

The only two people sitting in the entire room were Lai Feilong and the utterly bored Su Xuan.

Yet at this moment, Chen Tianwen and the others also felt more anxious than ever; their biggest concern was whether the dish Su Xuan would prepare could satisfy Lai Feilong.

"So, Su, you want to cook for me now," Lai Feilong said, rubbing his hands together impatiently.

Su Xuan’s eyes crinkled with a smile, "Why the rush? The ten million hasn’t arrived yet."

"Su Xuan, what kind of attitude is that? Do you think Old Mr. Lai wouldn’t pay you for the dish?" Chen Tianwen chided from the side, worried that Su Xuan might upset Lai Feilong.

In his heart, he truly didn’t expect Lai Feilong would actually give Su Xuan ten million just to taste a dish.

This was simply too absurd. In the words of Sun Zhi’ai, only a fool would make such a move.

Time ticked by, and after ten minutes, two bodyguards came in carrying two heavy suitcases.

"Old Lai, the money has been brought over, exactly ten million," one of the bodyguards said.

Lai Feilong nodded and instructed, "Since it’s here, let Su check the merchandise. Dump all the money on the floor."

The bodyguards did not delay Lai Feilong’s instruction and immediately tipped the suitcases over.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Bundles of red RMB bills spread conspicuously across the floor of the lobby.

Chen Tianwen and the others present were also billionaires. Although ten million wasn’t much to them, spending so much on a meal was unimaginable.

"Phew!"

The onlookers around them all gasped at the sight of the money that looked like bricks of red.

Those who had just been doubting Su Xuan bit their tongues to make sure they weren’t dreaming.

Now, everyone’s look towards Su Xuan shifted from shock to admiration. They couldn’t imagine what kind of delicious dish could possibly be worth ten million.

"Ah, such a hassle. The thing I hate the most is cooking, and now I have to do it," Su Xuan complained softly, leaving everyone around utterly floored.

Not to mention a dish for ten million, even for one hundred thousand yuan, with Chen Tianwen’s status, he would happily step down from his dignity and personally cook for others.

"Hahaha!" Lai Feilong laughed heartily, "If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have the chance to taste your cooking. Don’t refuse now."

With the money now in hand, Su Xuan walked over to the prepared ingredients, lit the fire, heated the oil, and started rapidly mixing the seasonings on the other side.

Those who had never seen Su Xuan cook before were completely amazed by his dazzling techniques. They couldn’t imagine how someone’s hands could move at such a frequency while cooking.

The most excited was Lai Feilong, who, curbing his drooling, asked, "Young friend, can you tell me how this ’Four Delights Eyebrow Fish’ is eaten?"

Su Xuan smiled slightly as he smeared the prepared seasonings over the fish and gently placed it into the oil when the temperature was just right, turning it skillfully.

"Naturally, there are four ways to eat it. The first is fried," he said, and as the heat was just right, Su Xuan lifted the Eyebrow fish from the frying pan and quickly sprinkled spices over it, steaming hot for Lai Feilong to taste.

"This time, you’re just tasting the skin—crispy and spicy. Give it a try," Su Xuan confidently said.

Seeing the golden, yellow-tinted Eyebrow fish as if painted with yellow paint, even those accustomed to fine dining couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

Lai Feilong alone picked up a piece with silver chopsticks and popped it into his mouth.

The fish, fried in special olive oil, was crisp without being greasy, and Su Xuan’s seasoning enhanced the freshness to the maximum.

"Excellent, this is delicious. Not to mention ’Four Delights Eyebrow fish,’ just this one way is worth ten million," Lai Feilong praised highly, the consummate food connoisseur taking his time to savor the crispiness of different parts of the Eyebrow fish.

The others around also had their appetites whetted, yet they all knew this fish was out of their league now.

"That Old Lai, you must let me have a taste of this fish too," Chen Tianwen said, suppressing his mouthful of saliva.

"No way!" Lai Feilong shook his head almost like a rattle drum, "I’ve been thinking about this for many years to get a taste only once; you just stick with Su and let him cook for you in the future."

Chen Tianwen couldn’t help but swallow his saliva again, thinking privately that no matter whether Chen Wanqing was going to marry Su Xuan or not, he definitely needed to find a chance for Su to cook some dishes for him to thoroughly enjoy.

Soon, Lai Feilong had finished the golden outer layer of the fish, looking very much still craving more, but Su Xuan, as if anticipating this, suddenly placed the remaining fish into a steamer that had been prepared earlier.

At the same time, the scent of herbs mingled with the freshness of the Eyebrow fish filled the entire lobby, causing everyone who smelled it to swallow their saliva involuntarily.

A weird thought started growing in their minds—if they had ten million, they would also be willing to taste a dish made by Su Xuan, it was just too deliciously tempting.
