Ye Qiu drove Liu Lingxiu back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community. He had a few more tickets upstairs, so he asked Liu Lingxiu to go back and ask her parents if they wanted to watch the concert together tonight.
Now Xiaomai saw Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu return and hurried to prepare dinner. Ye Qiu said, "Xiaomai, no need to rush. Call my parents and Ye Xue, ask them to co back. Then we can go out for a buffet dinner. After dinner, we’ll head to the stadium to watch the concert."
As Xiaomai went to call Ye Weidong and his wife and Ye Xue, Liu Lingxiu went back to ask her parents.
At this ti, Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong were at the store tallying the accounts. Although Ye Qiu never interfered with the store’s finances, everything was being invested by him.
Seeing Liu Lingxiu coming over, they asked, "Lingshow, do you want to co back with mom?"
"Mom, Ye Qiu asked if you guys want to go watch the concert tonight; he has tickets."
Concert?
The two hadn’t paid much attention, as they had always been focused on the three supermarkets. Although each supermarket now had a cashier and two female clerks, they hadn’t been as busy as before, yet they still never stopped working.
The two, like Ye Weidong and his wife, couldn’t stay idle.
"Over at the stadium, they say tens of thousands of people are watching the concert together."
Liu Lingxiu hugged her mother Zhang Yuehong’s arm and said.
"Boss lady, I’ve heard about this concert, tickets cost over a thousand yuan apiece." The young cashier girl was envious and really wanted to go, but couldn’t. One reason is the cost, which is too expensive, another is needing to work overti, so she can only watch the concert’s live broadcast on her phone.
"Ye Qiu already bought the tickets?"
"Bought them early; we all have them. He also wants us to eat together first."
Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong exchanged a look. They realized Ye Qiu’s growing business was beyond belief to them now.
Rumor has it that Ye Qiu invested a lot in coffee shops and recently upped the investnt with Liu Lingxiu’s uncle from two million to three million.
As long as the people around Ye Qiu have abilities and ideas, he definitely supports them. The results depend on the individual.
Zhang Yuehong looked at Liu Daqing and asked, "Daqing, are we going?"
"You go ahead. You’ve never seen a concert in our decades of marriage. Now that Lingshow’s boyfriend is capable and invites you, you should go."
"He’s also inviting you." Zhang Yuehong said.
"I’m too rustic to appreciate young people’s music. I prefer old songs from the sixties and seventies."
"Mom and Dad, I’m going just to experience the atmosphere, plus Ye Qiu already bought the tickets, it’d be a waste if I don’t go."
"Alright, I’ll go," Liu Daqing said, stopping once he heard about wasting money.
The couple went back first to shower, change into formal and nice clothes, then headed to Ye Qiu’s villa, discovering that Ye Weidong and his wife had just returned too.
After returning from the Caribbean, Ye Qiu gave Ye Weidong so cigars, and Ye Weidong gifted him two. Liu Daqing tried them out of curiosity but couldn’t handle the spiciness and felt he didn’t have the leisure to enjoy them.
"Old Liu, co in and take a seat. Soon, Ye Qiu will take us to eat a buffet."
Ye Weidong, after eating with Ye Qiu, considered opening his own buffet but Ye Qiu advised against it, saying it’s hard and has strong competition. Eventually, Ye Weidong gave up, focusing on imperial cuisine, knowing that perfecting it would ensure his son’s and grandson’s future security.
When Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong sat down, they found that besides Ye Weidong, even Chen Fang and Ye Xue had changed into new clothes.
"Are you ready?"
Ye Qiu asked.
"Ready, let’s get in the cars."
There were four cars available, and using two would suffice.
Ye Qiu, Liu Lingxiu, Xiaomai, and Ye Xue got into Ye Qiu’s car, while Liu Daqing and his wife got into Ye Weidong’s rcedes.
Ye Qiu inford his father of the hotel location, knowing Ye Weidong couldn’t keep up while driving.
As Ye Qiu drove to the five-star hotel, they waited about fifteen minutes before seeing Ye Weidong arrive.
Being inexperienced, Ye Weidong drove cautiously and, after parking, everyone took the elevator to the top floor’s high-end buffet restaurant.
With eight people, Ye Xue bought al tickets. Upon hearing there were eight people, a waitress led them to a large table that could seat eight.
When seated, Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong, for the first ti at such a venue, appeared sowhat nervous. In contrast, having been here before, Ye Weidong and Chen Fang seed at ease.
"Uncle Liu, Auntie, take whatever you like to eat."
"Truly anything?" Zhang Yuehong asked incredulously.
Despite the buffet tickets costing several hundred yuan each being extrely expensive, seeing the wide array of dishes, including various seafoods, she couldn’t believe it.
"Yes, even the counter over there has steaks, likely imported and quite good."
Given the situation, Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong decided to savor the food, while Ye Qiu stood at the window looking out at the Olympic Stadium several kiloters away, where Huo Yingying’s concert would be held at eight. It was only after six now, so they had ti.
As Ye Qiu waited, Ye Xue, Xiaomai, and Liu Lingxiu went to collect food for him.
After the buffet, Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong were truly amazed. Previously, their combined monthly salary was under five thousand, with buffet tickets costing several hundred yuan being unaffordable for them. They thought it too expensive.
But now, they found it quite good and planned to try it more often.
"Uncle Liu, you should learn to drive soon and get a rcedes to cruise around in."
Life is short; you should enjoy it, else what’s the point in earning money.
Drive a rcedes?
In the past, Liu Daqing wouldn’t have dared to dream of it, and neither did Ye Weidong. But now, even Ye Weidong is driving one around.
"Old Liu, find so ti to learn to drive. You’re only in your forties now; it’s completely feasible."
"Go to my sister’s driving school; I guarantee you’ll have a driver’s license within three months."
Liu Daqing and his wife almost forgot that Ye Qiu had acquired a driving school, so now he hardly believes it, feeling that this hotel might also be owned by Ye Qiu, and they could be dining in Ye Qiu’s hotel without realizing it.
