Driven by Xu Hean, the family drove to Jiangjia Private Kitchen.

The Jiang family’s private dishes tasted very good. When Zhi Nanyi and his friends arrived, it was already twelve o’clock and the hall was already full of people. Fortunately, Zhi Nanyi had called in advance and booked a private room in the car.

Xu He'an handed the menu to Zhi Nanyi and asked her to look through it, then ordered Zhi Nanyi's favorite dishes from the waiter, including sweet and sour spare ribs, boiled pork slices, fried crab with typhoon shelter, pickled pepper chicken offal, and stir-fried cabbage.

Zhi Nanyi listened to Xu Hean saying the names of the dishes one by one, and consciously handed the menu to the two mothers. Everything she wanted to eat was already available.

They also ordered cumin lamb, coriander beef and a bowl of West Lake beef soup. Finally, Qin Yue ordered a pickled plum tomato, making a total of 8 dishes and one soup.

The whole family are carnivores, so we ordered one vegetarian dish and no one had any objections.

Seeing the waiter leave, Zhi Nanyi replaced the water in the kettle on the table with spiritual spring water. Zhi Kangcheng couldn't wait to pour himself a glass.

"This is the taste, refreshing and sweet. It makes you feel comfortable after drinking it." Zhi Kangcheng said.

Xu Huaqing also poured himself a cup and drank it slowly. The two mothers stopped reading novels and started adding things to the shopping cart, having a great time.

Zhi Nanyiyi played with Xu Hean's fingers and scratched his palm from time to time. Xu Hean just ignored her and looked at Zhi Nanyiyi with endless tenderness in his eyes.

As if remembering something, Zhi Nanyi let go of Xu Hean's hand: "Dad, Mom, Hean, what do you say? We should buy a few hundred portions of all the dishes from the Jiang family's private kitchen and put them in the space. This way, we can take them out whenever we want to eat them. There are also other delicious dishes that we can eat directly when it is inconvenient to cook!"

"This is a good idea. We probably won't be able to eat many dishes in the future. Let's order more and put them away!" Nan Xin immediately agreed with her daughter's idea.

"The big meat buns from the Li family, the pancakes from the auntie next door, grilled cold noodles, grilled sweet potato skin, roasted whole lamb, spicy rabbit head, tiger skin cake, mochi, plum blossom cake, candied haws, as well as spicy and spicy soup and beef soup... There are too many, I want to buy them all and stockpile them!" Zhi Nanyi said happily to Xu He'an.

"Okay, I'll buy you all the food you like then!"

Zhi Nanyi wanted to say something else, but the waiter knocked on the door and started serving the dishes. Everyone tacitly changed the topic. After the waiter finished serving the dishes and left, Zhi Kangcheng said seriously, "From now on, don't say anything about it outside. There are surveillance cameras there, so you still have to be careful."

"I agree with Kang Cheng." Father Xu seconded.

Everyone agreed, Zhi Nanyi also agreed, and the family started to eat happily.

The common fine tradition of the Xu and Zhi families is to love their wives. The three men tacitly picked up food for their wives and only started to eat after the women had almost finished eating.

After the meal, Xu Hean paid the bill, asked the waiter to call the boss over, and started discussing cooperation with the boss.

Xu He'an said that his wife liked his dishes very much, and he wanted to ask them to prepare for a wedding banquet with 100 tables. Each table needed 6 cold dishes, 16 hot dishes, 2 staple dishes, and 2 soups, a total of 26 dishes. They only needed to prepare the dishes and package them, and they would send a car to pick them up. No help was needed afterwards, and the price was negotiable.

When the boss heard this, he thought that all they needed to do was to do the job well, and he agreed readily. If they also needed to take on the responsibility of serving the dishes, they did not have enough staff, and they had never hosted a wedding banquet before, so they would definitely be busy and might even ruin their reputation. But as long as they just needed to do the dishes, there would be no problem.

Finally, both parties finalized the menu and agreed on the date of August 5, when they would come to pick up the dishes for the dinner at p.m.

6 cold dishes: pepper and sesame chicken, coriander beef, secret recipe of husband and wife lung slices, Thai cold shrimp, tofu with green onions, and special cold steamed vegetables.

16 hot dishes: sweet and sour spare ribs, boiled pork slices, fried crab with typhoon shelter, pickled pepper chicken offal, steamed pork with rice flour, steamed sea bass, cumin lamb rolls, dry pot cauliflower, stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, blanched Guangdong Chinese cabbage, squirrel fish, braised pork with pickled mustard greens, spicy chicken, shredded pork with fish flavor, peony shrimp balls, and stir-fried Chinese cabbage with shiitake mushrooms.

2 main courses and 2 soups: special pan-fried buns, glutinous rice and eight-treasure rice pudding, sour radish and old duck soup, and West Lake beef soup.

After paying a deposit to the boss and settling the remaining balance when picking up the food, the family left the restaurant.

Xu Hean was still responsible for driving back. The two fathers were worried about the address of the safe house, so they had to hurry up. They wanted a lot of things, but not enough time. It would be too late.

The four adults discussed for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable place.

"Dad, I remember the farm in my hometown was abandoned. Didn't you always say that you wanted to go back and clean it up and live there in the future? I think that place is good. It's far from the village, but there are some infrastructure. It's backed by a mountain. Although there is no water source around, grandpa dug a few wells before, so the groundwater is still abundant."

In fact, Xu Hean had only been there once. At that time, his grandfather passed away and he was on a mission and couldn't come back. Later, on the third anniversary, he went back by himself. The place was picturesque and he thought it was quite nice.

"Yes, why didn't I think of that? The Xu family's ancestral tomb is also in that location. Many people don't want to go there. The fruit trees planted by your grandfather on the mountain are not taken care of. I don't know if they are still alive?"

Xu Huaqing slapped his thigh excitedly. That was a place with good feng shui. The reason why the villagers were unwilling to get close to it was because there was a gap in the mountain over there. When the wind was strong, it would make strange noises, but no one understood the reason, so rumors of ghosts began to spread there.

Mr. Xu was an overseas student, so he knew the problem as soon as he heard it. However, no one in the village believed him. They said that if he went to live there, he should not contact the villagers to avoid bringing harm to them.

At that time, land was allowed to be bought and sold, so Mr. Xu bought that large piece of land. When people in the village saw him, they laughed at him and said that he was a rich fool.

But later, Grandpa Xu moved his ancestral grave there, and his business grew bigger and bigger. He took advantage of the opportunity to develop a farm orchard and made another fortune. People in the village began to envy him, but they were still scared when they heard the "ghosts howling" sound of the wind.

Later, Xu Huaqing was admitted to university and left his hometown, and Grandpa Xu's fruit trees also needed to be updated and upgraded and changed to new varieties.

But he had earned enough money and didn't want to bother anymore, so the orchard became abandoned day by day. When Xu Huaqing got his feet on the ground, he moved to the city completely. When the people in the village saw the orchard was abandoned, they started to spread rumors that the Xu family had gone bankrupt and that old man Xu had left his hometown to work, and they were even more reluctant to go near that place.

"Is my hometown okay?" Qin Yue asked.

Because the house in her hometown had not been repaired and was not habitable, Qin Yue had basically never been back. When she went back, she did not worship her ancestors or observe the place carefully, so she still had doubts.

"Mom, I think it's a good idea. You can go back and take a look. It's not too late to make a decision later."

The Zhi family does not have any old house. Grandpa Zhi’s previous generation has already lived in the city. There are many houses in the city, but they are all crowded and prosperous gathering places, which are not suitable at all. The deceased family members are all in the cemetery, and there is no alternative place.

"Yes, we don't have any other choice now anyway, so we might as well go and take a look. If it is possible, we can start the work as soon as possible." Zhi Kangcheng agreed with Xu Hean's words.

"Then I'll contact my secretary to change tomorrow's flight to the day after tomorrow. We'll set off now. It's a four-hour journey and we'll arrive in the afternoon."

"I agree."

"I agree!"

"Of course I agree too!" Zhi Nanyi was the last one to raise his hand to show his agreement.

"Driver Xiao Xu, let's go~"

============

Xu Hean was driving very steadily. Zhi Nanyiyi had fallen asleep in the passenger seat. The two mothers couldn't hold on any longer and were both snoring.

The two fathers were in high spirits and were discussing company matters. Xu Hean also participated in the discussion while driving.

"Lao Guo is determined to join the group in Country M. If we hand over the sale of the company to him, he will probably follow us to Country M."

"Alas, it's a pity for Lao Guo. We were partners in starting a business together, but I didn't see what he was thinking back then. Otherwise, I would never have become a partner with him." Zhi Kangcheng said with some regret.

The three of them had the best relationship in school. After graduation, they started a business together and won projects together. Although Lao Guo always complained about life in China, life was indeed hard at that time, so he and Xu Qinghua didn't think about it.

Later, when the company became stable, we discovered that Lao Guo always wanted to cooperate with people from Country M and looked down on domestic partners. Only then did we realize that he was pro-Country M.

Then there were major changes in the company's management. Both he and Xu Qinghua were patriots at heart, and they could not tolerate working in partnership with pro-M country people.

The three of them held a meeting and said that for the future development of the company, there could only be one decision maker. He took the initiative to withdraw. Lao Guo probably felt the alienation between the two and also proposed to leave.

Finally, Lao Guo left with a sum of money, and he retreated to the second line, only taking dividends and not participating in any company decision-making. He opened his own supermarket, and his business became more and more prosperous, and he opened several branches in succession.

After that, the two of them rarely met Lao Guo, and they had almost no contact via mobile phone.

Instead, the two of them became relatives.

Lao Guo came back to see them a month ago and said that the situation was good now. His friend from Country M saw the company's development potential in China and wanted to acquire the company. The price was negotiable.

Although Xu Qinghua refused directly, Lao Guo still came to brainwash him every day, persuading him to sell the company, and the United States was willing to invest 20 billion yuan.

If this incident hadn't happened, Xu Qinghua would really be reluctant to leave the company he founded. In order to accompany clients, he would drink until his stomach bled and still have to get up and continue smiling. How much hardship they had endured back then.

Now I have enough money to spend, and I always hope that the company can continue to develop better.

But now it’s different. The end of the world is coming and everything will cease to exist. It’s a good choice to cheat those people in Country M out of their money.

He contacted Lao Guo and asked for a meeting to discuss the matter. Lao Guo immediately agreed and they made an appointment to meet a week later to discuss the matter in detail.
