Chapter 976 A Pretty Face is a Dime a Dozen
Petrus Restaurant, specializing in French cuisine, is one of them.
There are too many restaurants where you can enjoy delicious food in the area, and it was Su Yehao's first time visiting Petrus. Due to a reservation made in advance in the evening, the manager specially reserved a table with the best view for him.
The restaurant's decoration style is very luxurious, with brown carpets, curtains, and dazzling crystal chandeliers, matched with retro floral decorations, with a strong French palace style.
This style can easily become quite tacky if you're not careful. Petrus Restaurant has obviously put a lot of thought into it, making it look pleasing to the eye.
Tonight, each table is decorated with fresh lavender.
According to the restaurant manager, it was directly air-freighted from Provence, France.
If Su Yehao wanted to visit the sea of flowers, he could hop on a private jet at any time. It's as simple as taking a nap on the plane.
However, for other middle-class and upper-class people, this kind of small decoration seems very thoughtful.
Of course.
You get what you pay for. Eating at Petrus Restaurant is particularly expensive, and you can even buy collection-grade red wine worth hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars a bottle.
Turning his head to look outside, the city and Victoria Harbour's night view are very nice, and you can also see the Kai Tak Digital Port across the harbour.
Unfortunately, Su Yehao had only sat down for a short while when his bodyguards whispered suggestions, and he temporarily moved to a safer location.
Now, if someone takes the risk, chooses to spend a little money to find someone to help, and directly uses a few-dollar iron peanut to take out Su Yehao.
Perhaps they will have a chance to think of ways to seize and divide his property, and hold those "cash printing machines" in their own hands, earning tens of billions of dollars in revenue from them.
No matter how you calculate it, this deal seems very profitable.
Despite Su Yehao's relatively good reputation and image to the outside world, in reality, with the expansion of his business, involving many fields, he inevitably offends many people.
As a result, his security team has become increasingly nervous in recent years, and they dare not overestimate the character of those ambitious people.
Jiang Yu is usually too well protected.
She is still the same as before, weighing ninety-five pounds with ninety-four pounds of rebellious spirit.
After changing tables, she couldn't help but nag, "It's impossible to live a normal life. I can't even sit by the window. Next time I go out with you, Ahao, do I have to wear a suit of armor?"
"They're doing it for my own good. You don't want to be a widow at such a young age, do you? As for armor, unless it's Iron Man-style bulletproof armor. Those at auctions are just for show, good for defending against cold weapons, but a sniper could blow them up with one shot."
Su Yehao started looking at the menu, knowing that Jiang Yu was newly pregnant and easily stimulated by hormones. He calmly added:
"Isn't it just the view of Victoria Harbour? Aren't you tired of seeing it after all these years? When the time comes, I can reserve the top floor of the Kai Tak Centre Building, and you can look at it however you want at home, with an unobstructed view."
Jiang Yu shook her head and said, "Forget it, it's scary to live so high up. It sways back and forth when the wind blows, especially during the summer typhoon season. A villa is safer."
"...Our building, you can't just say that, or others will really think there's a problem with the construction quality."
A slightly helpless Su Yehao still treated French cuisine as Chinese food, ordering three main courses for himself: eggplant foie gras, Australian truffle dory, and steak.
He usually exerts a lot of physical strength, and he always can't stay idle, liking to wander around, so it doesn't matter if he eats a little more.
Nangong Tian and Jiang Yu were much more refined, one ordering grilled oysters and the other ordering black pepper Kobe steak, and they discussed switching to eat each other's later, which is equivalent to being able to eat two portions.
Just after ordering, they learned that the special today was lobster soup.
The dish sounded unappetizing to Su Yehao. Nangong Tian only ordered one portion and planned to share it with Jiang Yu.
The two of them sat together, chatting enthusiastically about having children.
Jiang Yu said in a melancholy tone, holding her chin, "I really envy you. You can wear new dresses so quickly. I thought you would have to work harder, at least wait until August to recover. My dad is right, it's better to have a baby early when you're young, it's easier to recover."
Nangong Tian wore a one-sided split halter dress tonight, which looked like silk.
It can only be said that it's no wonder she couldn't forget it, it really showed off her good figure.
Feeling very happy after being praised, Nangong Tian returned the compliment, saying, "You usually eat a lot but don't gain weight. It will definitely be easier for you to recover than me in the future. I suggest you don't live with your parents during pregnancy, to avoid overeating, which will make childbirth very difficult."
Being newly pregnant, she was always worried about what would happen in a few months. Jiang Yu touched her flat belly and said, "Then I'll eat less tonight. I can drink a glass of milk when I get home, and give what I can't finish to Ahao."
"???"
Su Yehao was wandering in his thoughts, still thinking about the issue of bank stocks.
Hearing his name at this moment, he came back to his senses and said:
"You're already very, very beautiful. Eat what you want, drink what you want. We earn so much money just to live a comfortable life. If life lacks delicious food, at least a third of the fun is lost. Don't keep racking your brains about these things all day long."
Jiang Yu shook her head and retorted, "That won't do. Who knows if you're being sincere? What if you get hooked up by other young and beautiful girls in the future?"
"Are you saying the source of your appearance anxiety is me? We already have a child, what are you afraid of? Beautiful appearances are all the same, but interesting souls are one in a million. What if others are eighteen years old? They can't compare to you two."
After listening to the sweet talk Su Yehao poured, Nangong Tian was not fooled and said with a smile:
"Okay, so you do care about eighteen-year-olds. It's all exposed now. Actually, we're not anxious. Isn't this what women talk about when they get together? Clothes, weight loss, food, and babies. Brother Hao, if you feel bored, we can also talk about your business trip to Silicon Valley."
Instantly thinking of Zhao Yimeng, Su Yehao had never mentioned meeting her, mainly to avoid confessing without being forced to, and causing trouble for himself. He quickly replied:
"I have nothing to talk about, it's just business. You guys continue talking, don't mind me. I was on the plane for so long today, I'm sleepy and listless. Let's finish eating and go home to rest."
Everyone has been together for several years in the blink of an eye. The passion has indeed faded, but life is still quite interesting.
Jiang Yu was pregnant, so she could only drink freshly squeezed orange juice.
When Su Yehao was looking through the wine list, he was inexplicably reminded of Château Margaux in France, which was next to Miss Vera's new winery. That's why he subconsciously chose a Château Margaux product.
A bottle of new wine produced three years ago costs two thousand Hong Kong dollars in the restaurant.
It is estimated that due to the mainland's huge middle and upper class consumer group not having risen yet, the prices of many luxury goods are relatively reasonable. The performance of those luxury goods companies is so-so, lacking bright growth points.
5s Asset Management has launched two funds focusing on the concept of luxury goods. Su Yehao has been occasionally paying attention to these areas recently, mainly because he is interested in their ultra-high profit margins...
