Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't understand Bastian's reason for doing this, but she was still honored that her idol could be so respected.

Soon, the dishes she personally ordered for Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue were ready.

When Cheng Xiaoxiao served the food for the two, she also brought the authentic Burgundy snail presented by Bastian and the precious bottle of Hou Bowang dry red together.

"Mr. Xia and Mr. Ling, this is a gift from Manager Bastian to the two of you!" Cheng Xiaoxiao put Burgundy snails and red wine on the table and said, "I wish you two a happy meal!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao has a good grasp of proportion, and after she opened the red wine for the two of them, she quietly retreated.

She knew that she had asked Xia Ruofei for an autograph and a group photo before, but in fact, she had already disturbed the two of them a little, and now she definitely couldn't interfere with the two of them dining.

Of course, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't go far, but just kept a close eye on Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue nearby, ensuring that once the two of them had any needs, she could show up as soon as possible.

Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue enjoyed an authentic and delicious French meal, and when they were about to leave after buying the order, Bastian appeared, presented his business card with both hands, and said: "Mr. Xia, thank you for patronizing the corner restaurant, this is my business card, please call me directly next time you need to eat, the corner restaurant will always have your place!"

Xia Ruofei took the business card and put it away, smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Bastian!"

He didn't give Bastian a business card of his own, and Bastian didn't think it was upset.

In Bastian's opinion, Xia Ruofei's status is naturally many levels higher than him, and how can Xia Ruofei's contact information be given to others casually? It is normal not to give him a business card!

Bastian didn't expect to make a friend like Xia Ruofei, he just hoped to make a good relationship and make Xia Ruofei have a good impression of him, which was enough.

Xia Ruofei drove Ling Qingxue back to the company, and on the way, Ling Qingxue said with a smile: "Ruofei, that manager attaches great importance to you! He delivers food and wine, and it is actually the 90-year-old Hou Bowang Ganhong! The consumption of a meal is not worth the price of a glass of wine!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "If you are courteous, you must ask for something!"

"What does he ask you for?" Ling Qingxue asked curiously.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "You are also in the catering industry, would you not have thought of it?"

Ling Qingxue suddenly realized and said, "You mean...... Bastian was hoping to buy some top-quality ingredients from Taoyuan, such as ...... The best truffle you just mentioned?"

"I guess that's the case!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "But he's not embarrassed to say it!"

"But aren't all your company's truffles auctioned on Hong Kong Island?" Ling Qingxue asked puzzled, "Isn't the auction just the one with the highest price?"

"We can't all be the best truffles that can be auctioned, right?" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Those individual ones are slightly lighter, although they can't meet the standards of the auction, but they are still very precious ingredients for Western restaurants!"

"Oh, I understand!" Ling Qingxue said, and then asked with a smile, "Ruofei, you shouldn't be bought by a bottle of wine, right?"

Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "What do you say?"

"Definitely not!" Ling Qingxue pursed her lips and smiled, "Our family Mr. Xia himself is the one who runs the winery! By the way, you asked me to bring back that sweet wine a few days ago, and my father praised it after drinking it!"

"Really?" Xia Ruofei said, "If Uncle Ling likes it, I'll bring him a few bottles next time! This kind of noble rot wine is also very good for middle-aged and elderly people, and I heard that it can soften blood vessels!"

"Well, don't tell him yet, lest he overdo it again!" Ling Qingxue said, "Now that there are only two bottles, he will save a little bit!"

"Haha! I'll listen to you!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Just tell me in advance if you need to!"

The two chatted while talking, and soon came to the downstairs of the Lingji Catering Headquarters.

"I'm leaving!" Ling Qingxue said, "You drive carefully!"

After speaking, Ling Qingxue pushed the door and got out of the car.

"Qingxue!" Xia Ruofei leaned out and shouted, "Will you go back with me at night......?"

Ling Qingxue's pretty face suddenly became hot - Xia Ruofei's volume was not small, if she was heard by the security guard at the door, her prestige as the president would really be lost......

Ling Qingxue walked quickly to the driver's side and whispered, "If you fly, you want to die!

Xia Ruofei said with an innocent face: "I...... Isn't there anything unsavory about this? I mean, we haven't practiced together for a few days, so we can't talk about this kind of thing so loudly, right?"

"You mean cultivation?" Ling Qingxue's eyes widened.

"Of course...... What do you think?" Xia Ruofei asked, and then deliberately exaggerated a look of sudden realization, pointing at Ling Qingxue and saying, "Do you think it is...... Daughter-in-law, I find that your mind is getting dirtier and dirtier now!"

Ling Qingxue was annoyed and angry, slammed her foot on the car door, and said, "You just misled me on purpose!

After speaking, Ling Qingxue glared at Xia Ruofei with disgust, turned around and walked towards the company.

Xia Ruofei shouted behind her, "Hey, you haven't answered me yet, do you want to pick you up after work in a while?"

Ling Qingxue really wanted to simply refuse this bad guy, but she couldn't stand the temptation of cultivation, and finally turned around and said very spinelessly: "I'm going to work overtime, you can come back later......"

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Gotcha!"

After teasing Ling Qingxue a little, Xia Ruofei felt quite happy, and he drove back to Taoyuan Mansion with a song.

Xia Ruofei remembered the idea he had just had in the corner Western restaurant, and after returning to the office, he called Feng Jing and Dong Yun out of the office.

After the two of them arrived, Xia Ruofei said straight to the point: "Mr. Feng, Mr. Dong, the truffle is about to be next season, if we hold another auction on Hong Kong Island in the near future, what do you think?"

When Feng Jing heard this, she immediately said: "The chairman can still get that kind of superb truffle? If we do another auction, of course, it will be of great benefit to our company! It just so happens that the company has been so popular on the Internet recently, and this is also striking while the iron is hot!"

Although Dong Yun had not joined the company at the last auction, she had also heard about the Hong Kong Island auction of Taoyuan Company, and she also said: "Chairman, if there are conditions, such an auction is as good as possible, and the benefits of establishing our company's high-end brand image are self-evident!"

Dong Yun, like Feng Jing, didn't mention the profit.

Because she also read the company's relevant information after joining the company, she knew that the proceeds from the Hong Kong Island auction did not enter the company's account, but were transferred to an overseas offshore company that Xia Ruofei actually wholly owned.

However, Feng Jing and Dong Yun didn't think there was anything wrong with this, because whether it was the best abalone or the best truffle, it was actually not produced by Taoyuan Company, but by Xia Ruofei himself from other channels, and it was just sold in the name of Taoyuan Company.

Although most of the shares of Taoyuan Company also belong to Xia Ruofei, after all, there is still a little bit of distribution to Feng Jing, including a small amount of bonus shares for other executives, so it is reasonable that these earnings are not included in the company's account.

To put it simply, in their opinion, it is fame to Taoyuan Company, and the money earned cannot also be transferred to Taoyuan Company, in that case, Xia Ruofei will have to pay dividends to Feng Jing and other executives in proportion, there is no reason for this!

Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "I want to make this auction bigger, not only truffles, but also the best abalone, in addition, I can get a few hundreds of years old ginseng, plus our best iron maple bucket and cordyceps, I think, since we want to do it, then simply make it bigger, and completely start our name! In the future, as long as everyone mentions high-end ingredients and Chinese medicinal materials, they can think of our Taoyuan company!"

"Chairman, can the ingredients and medicinal materials you just mentioned be of the highest quality?" Feng Jing couldn't help but say excitedly, "If that's the case, that's great!"

In addition to the iron maple bucket is produced by Taoyuan Company, several other things, including cordyceps, are actually provided by Xia Ruofei himself, Feng Jing only knows that Xia Ruofei has a very powerful channel and can get a lot of good things. In fact, including the iron maple bucket, it is only processed in Taoyuan Company, and the dendrobium as a raw material is also provided by Xia Ruofei.

"No problem!" Xia Ruofei said, "It's good to leave the matter of the auction to me! What I'm worried about now is that the company has just moved its headquarters, can you take care of your energy?"

"This is no problem!" Feng Jing said, "Our company's team has become more and more mature, and with the strong support of Hengfeng Group on Hong Kong Island, it will definitely be no problem to prepare for such an auction!"

Dong Yun also said: "Chairman, we promise to complete the task!"

Xia Ruofei nodded and said: "Okay! This matter has been settled for the time being! Mr. Feng has dealt with Hengfeng many times, and this time you are still responsible for docking with them, first tell them our intentions, what are the specific lots, including the specific quantity, I will tell you as soon as I am sure!"

"Okay!" Feng Jing said dryly.

Then Xia Ruofei set his eyes on Dong Yun again, and said: "As for the coordination between the front and rear, including some specific work in the early preparations, it will be handed over to Director Dong!"

"No problem!" Dong Yun said, "I will do my best to assist Mr. Feng and make the preparations for this auction meticulous!"

"OK!" Xia Ruofei said, "If the time comes, I hope that in a week or two, no more than half a month at the latest, an auction will be held on Hong Kong Island! The overall plan, including how to warm up in the early stage, how to publicize, and what guests to invite, etc., is up to you to communicate with Hengfeng, I don't care about this matter!"

Feng Jing had long been accustomed to Xia Ruofei's practice of being the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Leave it to us!"

......

In the evening, Xia Ruofei first drove to Walmart to buy some vegetables, and then went to the Lingji catering headquarters to pick up Ling Qingxue, and the two returned to Taoyuan Farm together.

After dinner, the two of them immediately went upstairs to practice again, and finished their cultivation at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, which was actually about three or four days of practicing together.

As Xia Ruofei expected, Ling Qingxue's cultivation directly broke through to the second level of Qi cultivation in this cultivation, and the foundation was quite solid.

Originally, Xia Ruofei was going to send Ling Qingxue back to the city, but she insisted that she could just drive herself.

Ling Qingxue also felt that Xia Ruofei was very hard to accompany her in cultivation, and she felt distressed when she tossed back and forth so late.

Xia Ruofei thought about it, and felt that it was not unsafe to drive, and with Ling Qingxue's current cultivation, even if she really encountered any danger, or some kind of petty outlet, even if she had not cultivated any martial arts at all, ordinary people would not be her opponents just by relying on her true qi, so there was really nothing to worry about.

Therefore, Xia Ruofei finally agreed to Ling Qingxue to drive back by herself.

Ling Qingxue drove away the Mercedes-Benz car that Xia Ruofei had been using for the past few days, Xia Ruofei was going to go to work with the company's shuttle bus tomorrow, and then had a meal with Ling Qingxue at noon, and drove the car back to the company by the way.

After Ling Qingxue left, Xia Ruofei simply returned to the room and entered the space to count the items.

The truffles harvested last time were all stored in the space, and he roughly counted them, and there were at least 20 truffles about the same size as the last auction on Hong Kong Island, which was enough for the auction.

In addition, there are more than 50 pieces of relatively light weight, of course, this is only relative, in fact, three or four hundred grams of truffles are already relatively large in the outside world.

These truffles are obviously not suitable for auction at auction, as it tends to lower the image of Taoyuan as a supplier of high-end ingredients.

However, Xia Ruofei himself couldn't get used to the taste of truffles, and it was useless to keep these truffles, and he couldn't help but think of Bastian in his mind.

For corner restaurants, if these truffles can be sold to them, they will naturally be unable to ask for them, after all, the restaurant is still facing the public, and the top ingredients will always only have the opportunity to taste a small wave at the top of the pyramid, and if the restaurant can introduce some relatively small, but extremely high-quality truffles, it is also an improvement for the restaurant's brand.

However, Xia Ruofei did not immediately decide to sell these truffles that were not going to be brought to the auction to the corner restaurant - even if they were to be sold, they would definitely have to wait until after the auction, and at this time, all the focus was on the auction, and anything that might distract the outside world would be put after the auction.

Wild mountain ginseng is also ready-made, Xia Ruofei went directly to the Yuan Chu Realm to dig out three roots.

The Yuan Chu Realm has thirty times the time flow rate, and the environment is so superior, so the wild ginseng is also constantly multiplying, and now a small ginseng forest has been formed there, if it is in the outside world, such a dense planting of ginseng will definitely cause nutritional deficiencies, and there will naturally be no hidden dangers in this area in the Lingtu space.

The three old ginseng are basically two or three hundred years old, and it is more than enough to get them at auction.

Then he arranged for Xia Qing to follow the method last time, take advantage of the difference in time flow rate, quickly cultivate some excellent abalone, and use this time to directly make dried abalone.

Cordyceps sinensis and iron maple buckets, Taoyuan Company has ready-made ones, as long as you pick out the best quality and send them to the auction together.

Xia Ruofei stayed in the Lingtu space for a while, and then returned to the outside world.

He went to the bathroom to take a shower, and when he returned to the room, he remembered what Ling Qingxue posted in the post bar in the corner restaurant today, and couldn't help but pick up his phone and click on the post bar to take a look.

At a glance, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but open his eyes wide......
