Zhang Qingyuan sighed with emotion, "It's a pity. There are only three to five chances each month. It'll definitely be difficult to book in the future."
Yu Heyan was stunned.
To be honest, he wasn't worried at all before he ate it.
A million per meal, and you have to bring your own ingredients. With only three to five times a month, it was very likely they wouldn't even sell out!
Now, Yu Heyan didn't think that way at all.
With assets like his, of one or two hundred billion, a million per meal, even if he ate it every day, it would take decades to spend it all! And that didn't even calculate the returns these funds could bring him!
There were many people in the culinary world with more assets than him.
He had one or two hundred billion RMB, while others had one or two hundred billion USD, one or two hundred billion EUR, much richer than him.
"Mr. Yu, as a top gourmet, what do you think? Will a lot of people be scrambling to make reservations?"
Zhang Qingyuan asked.
Yu Heyan nodded. "That's for sure. For gourmets all over the world, if they haven't eaten here, they probably won't be able to call themselves a gourmet."
"And besides gourmets, many other people will like this kind of food. There are so many wealthy people in the world."
"I have a friend who is even richer than me. His wife has cancer, the kind that can't be cured. He's now taking his wife around to eat, drink, and have fun."
Zhang Qingyuan asked, "Are you planning to have your friend make a reservation?"
Yu Heyan nodded.
"Although I know even richer people, my friend really loves his wife. He wants to make her happy before she passes away, and I have to help him."
"His character is still reliable."
Zhang Qingyuan said, "Then you need to hurry up and make an appointment."
"Okay."
"I'll contact my friend as soon as we finish eating. I'll pack some for him to take back. He'll definitely come after eating it,"
Yu Heyan said.
Zhang Qingyuan said, "There are still a few dishes untouched. Pack some for your friend and your friend's wife first."
"Old Zhang, I really can't..."
Zhang Qingyuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, we've known each other for so many years. What's there to say about such a small matter?"
Yu Heyan got up and packed two boxes of food to go.
After the meal, both Zhang Qingyuan and Yu Heyan were stuffed.
"Old Zhang, Master Lin is amazing."
"Eating his food, I think it's even more satisfying than that thing."
"Master Lin's control over ingredients is unparalleled."
Yu Heyan praised him endlessly, "Old Zhang, Master Lin's accomplishments in cooking are even higher than yours in calligraphy."
Zhang Qingyuan muttered inwardly, in calligraphy, he was also far inferior to Lin Chen, there was no comparison at all.
"So I sincerely call him Master Lin."
Zhang Qingyuan smiled slightly.
Yu Heyan clutched his stomach. "I'm beat. I rarely admit defeat, but Master Lin, I really have to give it to you. Old Zhang, you booked another session yourself, so don't try to compete with me this time."
"That won't do."
Zhang Qingyuan immediately shook his head.
In the end, the two of them each took half of the leftovers.
They didn't let even a drop of soup go, packing everything up to take away.
"Old Brother Ye, where are you now?"
Yu Heyan called his friend.
"What's wrong, Hangzhou?"
Yu Heyan immediately said, "Brother Ye, come to Modu. Bring your sister-in-law with you. I got some absolutely amazing food. You and your sister-in-law can try it."
"Absolutely amazing food?"
Ye Hong on the other end of the phone was surprised.
Yu Heyan: "Yes, I've never tasted anything like it before. It's in a league of its own compared to other food."
Ye Hong was tempted.
He knew how picky Yu Heyan was.
If Yu Heyan said it was good, then it must be extremely delicious.
If Master Lin says it's good, then it's definitely a top-tier delicacy. Now, he's saying he's gotten an absolutely incredible dish. Ye Hong couldn't even imagine how delicious it must be.
"We'll be right over."
Ye Hong said directly.
His wife didn't have much time left. The success rate of chemotherapy was very low, and she didn't want to go through it, preferring not to spend her final moments in the hospital.
"Okay, just come straight to my place."
Yu Heyan hung up the phone.
He had an apartment in Modu.
"Okay."
Ye Hong and his wife set off quickly.
Hangzhou wasn't far from Modu, only a little over two hours away by car.
Zhang Qingyuan said, "Mr. Yu, can you give Master Lin a call?"
"Of course."
Yu Heyan quickly dialed Lin Chen's number.
"Master Lin, your culinary skills are truly unparalleled. I've eaten everywhere, and I've never tasted food so delicious."
"Thank you!"
Lin Chen laughed on the other end of the phone, "Mr. Yu, you're the guest. You spent a million to eat, and you're thanking me?"
Yu Heyan said, "With your culinary skills, one million is a fair price. Master Lin, today is the twenty-third. Can I book for the twenty-third of next month?"
"No problem. Just let me know how many people will be coming beforehand."
Yu Heyan said, "Alright. Master Lin, I enjoy making friends, and I know people from all walks of life, both domestically and internationally. Is there anything I can help you with?"
With only three to five slots available each month, it was still manageable now, but he knew that in the future, getting a reservation would depend on connections.
Lin Chen wasn't in it for the money; it was definitely for networking.
He needed to show his value.
There was also another benefit to befriending Lin Chen: with his cooking skills, his network would definitely become very extensive.
If he helped Lin Chen, perhaps Lin Chen could help him in the future.
Lin Chen said, "Wu Haoyu from the Wu Family targeted my wife and was sentenced to three years. I heard he might get his sentence reduced and be released early. If you can, help me ask about it."
"Alright, Master Lin, I'll help," Yu Heyan promised.
He knew the Wu Family. Although they had money, they weren't as influential as he was. Between the Wu Family and Lin Chen, he would naturally support Lin Chen.
Lin Chen said, "There should be people supporting the Wu Family."
Yu Heyan smiled. "I know some friends too. Asking around shouldn't be a problem, Master Lin."
After hanging up the phone, a faint smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.
Yu Heyan told Zhang Qingyuan about the situation.
Zhang Qingyuan frowned. "Why didn't Master Lin tell me?"
Yu Heyan chuckled. "You're a scholar, sir. Master Lin probably didn't want to bother you with such things."
"It's not something you, sir, should get involved in either. But I'm different. I'm a roughneck. I can do anything."
Zhang Qingyuan frowned.
Yu Heyan continued, "Don't get involved, sir. It's a gray area. You're better off just supporting Master Lin from the sidelines."
"How do you know it's a gray area?"
Yu Heyan laughed. "If Wu Haoyu doesn't meet the requirements for a reduced sentence, Master Lin can make a big fuss."
"Even if he does meet them, it's still not easy to handle.
"He should be in a state of neither satisfaction nor dissatisfaction. At times like these, it's a contest of relationships."
Zhang Qingyuan nodded slightly.
Yu Heyan said, "Old Zhang, don't worry about this. It's not a big problem. Old Ye and I know quite a few people."
"The Wu Family is courting death, daring to compete with Master Lin in terms of relationships."
Zhang Qingyuan said with deep meaning, "President Yu, you should work harder. Master Lin is more powerful than you think."
"It would be very beneficial if you could become friends with Master Lin."
Yu Heyan's heart stirred.
"Old Zhang, is Master Lin the big boss, Lin Yu?"
