Chapter 1067: Chapter 797 Colleague Dinner_3

The dishes were secondary, it was mainly the expensive drinks.

Everyone stood up to take photos everywhere. Coming to a place like this and not snapping a shot feels like a wasted trip.

When the dishes arrived, each portion was small, with a focus on delicacy.

Chen Lu even took the initiative to serve Su Xiaoxi her favorite food. "Xiao Xi, since you don’t drink, would you like some beverage?"

"I’ll have some caviar." Su Xiaoxi said softly, wiping her mouth with a napkin.

Chen Lu asked the waiter, "Do you have any beluga caviar here?"

The waiter shook his head, "Sorry, we do have caviar, but not beluga caviar. Sir, would you like to check out the other caviar we have?"

The waitstaff and restaurant manager had long noticed that among the hundred people present, the only ones who could truly be called wealthy were this young couple standing before them.

Although this was already a top influencer restaurant in Peng City, they still did not have world-class delicacies like beluga caviar.

Su Xiaoxi had only had this dish in Xiangjiang with her second sister, Chen Xinyi, and she was quite familiar with such rare delicacies worldwide.

The price of just this caviar dish was comparable to their entire table’s spending, including a bottle of 80-year-old Maotai and Romantic Conti.

"Let’s not bother, my wife doesn’t really like other caviar either."

Chen Lu said, "We’ll just wait until we get home. I’ll have the housekeeper prepare it in advance for you."

"That’s fine, it’s not a must-have for me."

Su Xiaoxi had long adapted to the lifestyle of the wealthy, gradually getting used to it during her time with her second sister.

Her second sister, Chen Xinyi, was by far the most extravagant spender in the family. Her afternoon tea sessions alone could easily cost hundreds of thousands.

As for dining out, restaurants had to roll out a red carpet in advance for her, sometimes even clearing out a large portion of the guests.

Top-tier celebrities couldn’t even lift their heads in her presence.

After spending time with her, money ceased to be just money and became merely a series of numbers.

As it happens, she had plenty of such numbers, so much that she didn’t have to care about any price.

"Just curious, how much is that beluga caviar per serving?"

A curious colleague sitting by the door asked the waiter.

The waitress in the qipao replied, "Beluga caviar is made from rare albino sturgeon roe grown on farms in Austria, dehydrated, and ground with edible gold leaf. Such a portion overseas costs no less than 110,000 US dollars, and domestically starts at 1.2 million."

"1.2 million... just for one dish?"

"Yes, just one dish."

Strictly speaking, it isn’t just a dish, those who can afford it naturally understand its benefits.

Giving an explanation to those who can’t afford it is pointless.

This was overheard by Zhao Kai and others, and he almost exclaimed out loud.

"Chen Lu, what’s your family’s situation? Can you just casually eat a dish that costs over a million?"

"It’s nothing much, as long as Xiao Xi enjoys it, she can eat whatever she wants."

Holy crap... this is CEO type talk, dude, you just work in a small human resources department.

With a monthly salary not exceeding 20,000.

Can you really eat like that?

If these people still regarded Chen Lu as a normal colleague, they’d clearly be out of their minds.

His family starts at ten billion, would your family dare to eat like this even with a billion?

Su Xiaoxi herself was also capable of making money, though she couldn’t compare with her second sister Chen Xinyi nor did she have An’an’s capability of managing dozens of listed companies.

But she did have Xiangjiang Tenghui Capital given by Chen Pingsheng.

On a daily basis, Tenghui Capital generates profits of around 20 to 30 million.

If calculated by the hour, she could earn a million just by lying down for one hour.

To break it down even more, while sipping tea with you, she’d pocket the equivalent of several months’ salary for the average person.

With such financial strength, isn’t eating a bit extravagantly quite normal?

The reason why a wealthy family is called an affluent family is because whether they are eating, sleeping, bathing, or watching TV, they have a constant flow of profits entering their accounts.

Chen Pingsheng worked sixteen hours a day, including time for meals and breaks, and occasionally riding a scooter to pick up Little Ji Ye from home.

The working hours promoted by the wealthy, include everything except for sleep.

This is worlds apart from the average working person.

After dinner, Zhao Kai followed Chen Lu to settle the bill, and with a beep of the card, there were a total of fourteen tables.

The price per table wasn’t less than 500,000, of which a bottle of white liquor plus a bottle of Romantic Conti alone cost over 400,000.

The food only accounted for a small part, showing that everyone actively avoided those horribly expensive dishes.

Even so, this gathering and treat amounted to over 8 million.

Remarkably extravagant, Zhao Kai’s legs turned to jelly, his eyes wide as though a knife had pierced his backside.

A large group of black-suited bodyguards was waiting outside, clearly not arranged by the restaurant.

But instead, they were called by Chen Lu, specifically responsible for taking everyone home.

As for the vehicles, they were all top-class Longteng MPVs from the Tengfei New Energy lineup.

This laid-up display value was maxed out.

Not only did they treat them to a meal, but they also arranged for drivers to take them home.

A colleague dinner invitation like this could very well be boasted about for a lifetime.
