Chu Yu had a deep impression of the proprietress. In her memory, the proprietress was short and plump with a low nose bridge and unkempt appearance. Who would have thought that the proprietress in her twenties would have a different kind of charm and be a beautiful southern woman.
Chu Yu kept staring at her and smiling. The proprietress touched her hair and felt strange, but the beautiful woman's smile made people feel relaxed, and the proprietress felt that the weather outside the door had improved.
"Beautiful lady, what would you like to eat?"
"One serving each of seafood porridge, mantis shrimp, grouper, whelk, Dalian abalone, baby lobster, abalone, and flower crab."
The proprietress was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. "Are you a regular customer?"
"No, this is my first time here," Chu Yu smiled at her.
The proprietress was embarrassed by her laughter and glanced at her several times while serving the dishes, wondering if Chu Yu was her half-sister, otherwise why did she look so affectionate?
This restaurant wasn't famous in later generations, but the seafood was affordable and the chef was very skilled. I was very satisfied with the meal.
Qin Weidong and Mi Fei are both good eaters, but this was their first time eating out with Chu Yu. They had to admit that the dishes Chu Yu ordered were very authentic and much better than the big hotels they usually ate at. It was the first time the two of them had ever felt that the food in Pengcheng was so delicious.
"This seafood congee is really good; you can't find this fresh even in Hong Kong." Qin Weidong rolled up his suit sleeves and served himself another bowl.
After Shenzhen opened up, many people from the mainland flocked there to seek their fortune. Local residents eating in the shops could tell from their accents that they were from out of town.
However, many locals don't speak Mandarin well these days, making communication difficult and they don't intentionally strike up conversations with others.
Chu Yu ordered a table full of food. Although Chen Baifu usually received a meal allowance, it was something he could never spend. Before, when he worked in the company cafeteria, he would always pick out the best food. Now that he had to pay for his own meals, Chen Baifu ate rather perfunctorily, often just making fried rice with eggs to save his meal allowance.
It was a rare treat to have a big meal, and having just acquired a piece of land, Chen Baifu was in a great mood. He ate to his heart's content, and soon his belly was round and full.
Chu Yu likes to try several dishes at a meal, but she doesn't eat much of each one. She puts down her chopsticks and says:
"I feel relieved to have secured this land. However, I can tell that Changfeng Group is determined to get it. If their CEO hadn't been away, it probably wouldn't have been so easy to acquire it."
Qin Weidong scooped a spoonful of seafood porridge and put it in his mouth. "Don't worry, I'll check with Asahi later and see who the owner of Changfeng Group is."
He didn't take it seriously. It was just a small, run-down company. Did he think that just because he named it "Group," it would become a real listed group?
What the hell!
This is just a run-down company, yet it wants to compete with Huachu Future! Isn't it just asking for trouble?
Qin Weidong is a typical spoiled brat. He only allows his brothers and his own brother to be spoiled brats in front of others.
He's powerful and influential, why should he be afraid of someone like that? He's bound to be a bit arrogant when he speaks.
Chu Yu, however, was not optimistic. Based on her understanding of the auction, Changfeng Group was not involved, and she had no idea where this company had come from.
There's a lot to do after the land is acquired.
Most Chinese people have never lived in commercial housing. Asking architects who have only studied theory to design it would be like talking on paper. Chu Yu asked Qin Weidong to introduce a designer from Gangcheng to come and plan the blueprints at a reasonable price.
For decades afterward, Soviet-style residential communities were particularly popular in China. These communities were old-fashioned, poorly lit, and offered a poor living experience. People were trapped in such homes, with no quality of life to speak of.
The port city's designers have created a very human-centered design, but the windows alone add a lot of cost.
