Chapter 23 You've Predicted It Again?
Australian Wagyu beef, French foie gras, caviar, black truffle. There was also dessert with drinks.
Though the foods served might not be much, there have been almost ten thousand people arrived.
Shortly, the food was served on the table where Zhang Jingshan and the three people sat.
In the first place, Zhang Jingshan intended to give Ye Chen a little introduction to the food.
However, he didn't expect him to dig in after the food was served.
Looking at his skillful utensil etiquette, all of a sudden, Zhang Jingshan felt ashamed of his inferiority.
Was this the bookie known for being acquainted with idleness?
"Mr. Ye, what do you think about the food here?" Zhang Jingshan couldn't help but ask.
"Well, the steak is okay; it's just that the thawing is a little longer. As for the foie gras, the volume of brandy used in marination is slightly less. The caviar tastes good to me, it's quite fresh. Whereas for the black truffle, I noticed they have sliced slightly it thicker!"
After tasting the foods one by one, Ye Chen commented flatly.
However, his statement made Zhang Jingshan stunned.
Although he was born with a golden spoon, he was a straightforward man.
As for the food, only did "delectable" and "awful" were his concepts. He couldn't describe the characteristics of food in a specified way.
As for asking Ye Chen how the food tasted, he was merely confirming whether they suited his taste.
He didn't expect Ye Chen to reply to him in such a professional way.
(Was he pretending to be wise?)
Zhang Jingshan looked at Li Changfeng subconsciously.
He may not understand how food works, but he believed Li Changfeng- the food gourmet will surely understand!
However, when he glanced at him, only did he notice that Li Changfeng looked disbelief.
This was not his first time to Champs Elysees.
Every time he felt that something was "missing" with the taste, but he just couldn't identify it.
Listening to how Ye Chen commented on those dishes, suddenly everything became clear to him!
The steak has taken a too long time to thaw, and the foie gras has been lacking enough brandy in marination...
These must be the reasons he has been feeling something's "off" with the taste!
"Does Mr. Ye also have an in-depth study of food? I've been to the Champs Elysees many times and always felt that there are some flaws in the taste, but I just couldn't figure out where the flaw was. So when Mr. Ye commented on that, I believe the flaw should be as what you've mentioned!"
As if finding his kindred spirit, Li Changfeng responded hurriedly.
"I don't have an in-depth study of food, it's just that I'm a picky eater, haha... Ye Chen replied with an awkward smile.
Zhang Jingshan was completely bewildered.
How come Ye Chen- the poor man, a bad gambler, hit on the nail?
He could even notice the flaws of this high-end Western food?
Impossible, the information he collected before was wrong?!
Li Changfeng subconsciously thought that Ye Chen was being low-profile. How can just be a "merely picky eater" notice those flaws?
"Mr. Ye, I wonder what line of work are you in?" Li Changfeng asked.
"Which line of work? Temporarily, I'm a jobless hobo seeking gratuitous financial help!" Ye Chen laughed.
"A jobless hobo?" Li Changfeng shot a questioning glance at Zhang Jingshan.
The latter coughed awkwardly and replied, "Mr. Ye and I just met yesterday, it's because of the Buddha bracelet I've mentioned to you!"
"Oh, I see!" Li Changfeng nodded his head. Somehow, the more this kind of thing happened, the more he felt Ye Chen mysterious.
Just because Ye Chen can notice what's wrong with the taste of the steak and foie gras at his first bite, he dared to say that he couldn't find someone like him in Jiang Zhou's upper-class circle!
To say that this person was a simple character, Li Changfeng couldn't agree with this statement. However, regarding Ye Chen's identity, he did not intend to continue to inquire further. At least for the time being, he recognized Ye Chen's ability.
This fine-dining ended in a harmonious conversation.
Those three walked out of the Champs Elysees.
"Mr. Ye, are you going straight home later, or do you have somewhere else to go? I'll give you a ride!" Zhang Jingshan requested.
"It's okay, I'll just take a cab myself to go back!" Ye Chen shook his head and politely refused.
Out of the blue, he recalled Li Changfeng ended up in a car accident in his past life.
He looked at the latter and asked, "General Manager Li, do you drive your car here?"
"Yes, what's wrong with it?" Li Changfeng was confused.
Zhang Jingshan was also dumbfounded.
"It's nothing. I just noticed that General Manager Li's face is pale. It'd be better for you to get back in someone else's car today. If you have time, you can find someone to check your car properly just in case to see something's wrong with it!" Ye Chen suggested.
He felt that his reason was far-fetched, people might misunderstand that he was a psychic.
Ye Chen did not know what was he thinking. If Li Changfeng was that kind of indifferent person, he surely wouldn't remind him.
Putting aside the fact that Li Changfeng was a charity fanatic that he admired and appreciated in his previous life, he was also the boss of Yinuo's company.
Therefore, Ye Chen felt the need to remind him from experiencing this accident. In this way, Chen Yinuo's office life will certainly be much smoother.
"Mr. Ye, this is not a joke, right?" Li Changfeng frowned.
"Mr. Ye, you've predicted it again?" Zhang Jingshan was astonished.
"It's no joke. You'd better believe me, My intuition is always quite accurate!"
Smiling towards Zhang Jingshan, Ye Chen did a fist and palm salute and uttered, "General Manager Zhang, thank you for the meal today! Then, I shall excuse myself." Ye Chen left.
While being startled, Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng sat in the cab.
"Changfeng..." Zhang Jingshan gulped.
"Zhang, are you trying to make me believe what he said?" Li Changfeng frowned and questioned.
"It's better to believe than to disbelieve, I think you should be cautious!" Zhang Jingshan persuaded.
"When did you become so superstitious? You're not that kind of person! Besides, I just got my car a short time ago, I haven't driven it up to 5,000 kilometers yet!" Li Changfeng was still being doubtful.
"It's not the matter of being superstitious or not, if Ye Chen he did not mention this, then it doesn't matter. Since he has reminded you, don't you feel something's odd? If everything's good, that's certainly the best. But in case there was something bad might happen, what should we do then? Well, it's doesn't hurt to believe it just in a while, right? Come on, I'll send you back, you can get someone to drive it back and check it out!"
Not giving room for Li Changfeng to refuse, Zhang Jingshan grabbed his friend and headed towards his sultry red Panamera.
Li Changfeng gave him a helpless, bitter smile, but finally, he no longer resist.
...
An hour later, two men drove the brand new Ferrari 911 out from the parking lot of Champs Elysees.
"Fuck, slow down your speed! General Manager Li has reminded us again and again- drive slowly!"
When the Ferrari was driving on the highway, the man on the passenger side shouted in a hurry as soon as he saw the speedometer go to one hundred.
"What are you so panic? I'd say General Manager Li was being too cautious! This new car hasn't driven up to 5,000 kilometers, and the maintenance has been done recently! Why should we even check it?" The driver replied disapprovingly.
"I only listen to General Manager Li's order. There are two choices: slow down, or let me drive!" The man on the passenger side exclaimed.
"Alright, alright! I'll drive slower, okay?" The man in the driver's seat had no choice, driving this brand new Ferrari 911, he did not want to hand over the steering wheel.
With the throttle released, the car decelerated.
When the speed dropped to 60, a cab in front of him suddenly changed its lanes without signaling.
"Fuck you, changing lanes without turning signal beforehand, where's this cab driving to!"
In the Ferrari 911, the driver slammed on the brakes in a hurry.
However, the brakes stopped working.
"What the fuck?!" He hit the brakes to the end.
However, there was still no sign of slowing down!
Bang!!!
The Ferrari 911 crashed into the cab in front of it.
Bang Bang Bang-!
Failing to brake, the Ferrari crashed to the rear of the cab, and continue to collide with three more cars before it came to a stop!
It was a total mess!
