After reaching an agreement with Gu Yuqing, his appetite improved a lot, and Chen Ya began to observe this small "private chef".
There is a European candlestick ceiling lamp hanging above the head. The candles in the ceiling lamp are real candles, which are carefully covered in glass covers.
On the brown sandalwood table with fine texture, there is an animal-shaped iron incense burner, and the faint aroma of ambergris wafts out from the incense burner;
The flickering candlelight was reflected on the red wine glasses on the table, and the charcoal fire was burning quietly in the fireplace.
Under the glow of various fires, Gu Yuqing looked particularly beautiful.
Chen Ya opened the lid of the incense burner with his hands and sniffed. There was a layer of fine white ash inside, but it was not very clear.
"Is this incense? I heard it's very expensive?"
"There are expensive ones and cheap ones. Low-quality incense costs dozens of dollars, while high-quality ambergris is as valuable as gold." Gu Yuqing said.
“Equivalent to gold.”
Chen Ya repeated it and sniffed hard.
There is no essential difference between it and mosquito coils.
"How much does this burn cost?"
Gu Yuqing covered her mouth and laughed: "This is not ambergris, but it's not bad either. The one I burned is three thousand yuan per pound."
Chen Ya opened his mouth and looked up: "So expensive?"
"Do you know how much our meal cost? It's more than 10,000 yuan for two people."
It turns out that all the money was spent on this.
Chen Ya finally understood what "rich people eat mainly for the atmosphere" meant.
"This club is not specialized in private dishes. If it wants to highlight its competitive advantage, it can only work hard on details like this." Gu Yuqing said easily.
Chen Ya put a snack of some kind into his mouth, but it tasted nothing but sweetness.
Chen Ya put down his fork and asked, "Can I ask a question?"
"Speaking."
"What's your motivation for eating at such a high price point?"
"What's the motive?" Gu Yuqing showed a confused expression on her face. "There's no special motive."
"No, no, let me give you an example," Chen Ya said. "According to my own understanding, when I entertain distinguished guests, I will take them to very expensive restaurants to dine. This is more prestigious and shows respect for the guests. But if you bring me here..."
Gu Yuqing covered her mouth and laughed, "Don't you think you are not a distinguished guest to me?"
"Does it count?"
“Not really.”
“…”
Seeing Chen Ya's speechless expression, Gu Yuqing laughed, raised her toes, and rubbed Chen Ya's calf under the table.
"There's nothing special about it. I just want to find a place where I can eat and play tennis, so I come here."
"Then this place isn't very cost-effective. Other places..."
"Somewhere else?" Gu Yuqing asked with her head tilted.
"Like a tennis court..."
"There are too many people here, and many eyes are staring at me. It makes me uncomfortable." Gu Yuqing supported her cheek with her hands.
Chen Ya glanced at the heavy burden she placed on the table, swallowed his saliva and nodded: "Indeed."
"For just 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, you can enjoy a whole day of peace and quiet here. It's convenient and affordable, much more cost-effective than other places. For me, it's not expensive, but a good deal."
"...You and I have a slightly different understanding of what constitutes a good deal."
He picked up the golden animal-shaped incense beside him and played with it for a while. After thinking for a while, he said:
"You said this incense is 3,000 yuan per pound. That should be what the merchant claims, right? If the merchant is selling inferior goods as good ones, we have no way of knowing."
"I know," Gu Yuqing said as she ate steak with a knife and fork, "I can tell the difference just by smelling it. There's a big difference between low-quality and high-quality ones."
“…”
I was shown off again invisibly.
In the past, "aristocratic family" was just a distant title for Chen Ya.
It was not until he met Gu Yuqing that he understood the concept of "aristocratic family".
He also understood how rich the rich are.
Although he had made a lot of money in the past, he was not a truly rich man.
In essence, the money he earned from his work was, to put it bluntly, hard-earned money.
Jiang Xinhai, Xu Xiangxiao... He has seen many stars of this level.
In the imagination of ordinary people, stars of this level are already extremely rich.
But their money is also earned by writing songs one by one, and holding concerts one by one.
The money they earn is hard-earned.
Real rich people are different.
Real rich people spend other people’s hard-earned money.
Gu Yuqing is a real rich person.
Before, I sat across a table from Gu Yuqing. At that time, the other side of the table was an investor, and this side was an investor;
Now the two of them are still sitting across the table from each other, but their identities have become what can be called "friends".
But the distance between the two classes is always an insurmountable distance.
The closer Chen Ya got to her world, the more he realized that he and she belonged to different worlds.
Earlier in that bar, Chen Ya was dazzled by the environment and atmosphere for a moment, and had a momentary desire and intention towards Gu Yuqing.
But later Gu Yuqing's words dispelled his thoughts, and he was still unhappy about it for a while.
Now that he thinks about it, Gu Yuqing's words actually saved his life.
For someone like her who has lived in a different world since childhood, the two of them are destined to have no future.
