The car went all the way west, entered the city wall, and arrived at the Bell Tower Hotel.
Today, the place where Chen Qinghai entertained guests was the Bell Tower Hotel.
At this time in 1995, the Bell Tower Hotel in Xijing City was considered a quite famous and high-end hotel.
Before arriving, Chen Qinghai had obviously made arrangements. Before the car stopped, the manager of the Bell Tower Hotel and his people were waiting at the door.
As soon as the car stopped, the manager hurriedly came up to him, helped open the door, and helped Fang Le and Chen Qinghai get out of the car on both sides.
The manager knew that Chen Qinghai was going to entertain distinguished guests today, but Fang Le still surprised the manager when he got out of the car. Such a young distinguished guest?
In the manager's perception, Chen Qinghai's distinguished guests are at least at the level of the two bosses in Xijing City, and they may also be from the province, or they may also be giants of large companies.
Fang Le?
Being in your twenties is really too young.
Could it be that he is from Yanjing?
Although he was guessing, the manager did not dare to neglect, and greeted Chen Qinghai and Fang Le warmly and invited them into the hotel.
Chen Qinghai arranged a quiet private room. After entering the door, a waiter would serve tea.
"Dr. Chen."
The manager brought the menu to Chen Qinghai.
"Professor Fang, what do you want to eat?"
Chen Qinghai took the menu and asked with a smile.
"Just make arrangements with Mr. Chen. I'm a guest and do whatever you want."
Chen Qinghai didn't ask any more questions, ordered a few dishes, and then ordered a bottle of Maotai. At the same time, he said to Fang Le: "Professor Fang should be used to drinking liquor, right?"
"No."
Fang Le said with a smile: "I will have surgery tomorrow morning, so I won't drink any wine. Let's have some tea."
"Then change to tea."
Chen Qinghai nodded, and Liu En quickly took out a bag of tea and handed it to the manager: "Use good mountain spring water."
Originally, the tea prepared in the hotel was good tea. Chen Qinghai ordered it, so the manager naturally did not dare to say more.
“Excellent Longjing.”
Chen Qinghai smiled and said to Fang Le: "It is said that this tea only produces dozens of kilograms a year and cannot be bought outside. I got it by chance and have never been willing to drink it."
"It costs Mr. Chen a lot of money."
Fang Le smiled, his expression very natural.
Looking at Fang Le's expression, Chen Qinghai couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Fang Le was young, but he was so worldly and sophisticated in every aspect. He was countless times better than his son.
"Professor Fang."
Liu En personally waited on the side and placed the tea cup in front of Fang Le.
Fang Le took a sip and thought carefully: "Well, it is really good tea. I haven't had this kind of tea for a while, and I really miss it."
Chen Qinghai: "..."
Listening to Fang Le's comments, Chen Qinghai couldn't figure out for a moment whether what Fang Le said was true or false.
Fang Le really wasn't telling a lie. This tea was really good. Even if you had money, you couldn't buy it. However, before rebirth, Le had actually tasted it. With their family's status, they could still get such good tea.
Before his rebirth, Fang Le had seen a lot of mansions, luxury cars, big shots, and delicacies. To be blunt, Chen Qinghai might not have seen some of the things that Fang Le had eaten, drank, and used.
.
"I'll have tea instead of wine first. Congratulations to Professor Fang."
When Liu En poured tea for Fang Le again, Chen Qinghai picked up the teacup and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Fang Le and Chen Qinghai drank it all in one gulp.
Naturally, good tea comes with good tea sets, and the tea cup is not the same one that Director Han drank tea from last time, so it won't burn him.
The two of them drank tea and talked intermittently. Chen Qinghai didn't mention the topic, and Fang Le didn't ask.
The food hasn't been served yet, and I haven't eaten a bite. Why are you asking now?
If the conversation doesn't go well, it seems like you don't have the confidence to eat, and you pretend you don't know anything, so you have to eat first before talking.
Originally, Fang Le was going to Cheng Yunxing's house to have a meal, but now that he is here, he must eat well, otherwise he will have to find a place to eat when he goes back.
While talking, the food was served, and Fang Le was not polite and buried his head in eating.
Fang Le was originally a martial arts practitioner, and his work intensity was not low, so he had a really good appetite.
Chen Qinghai sat opposite Fang Le, watching Fang Le eating with great joy, his heart felt like tens of thousands of things were running past.
To be honest, since arriving in the United States, this is the first time that Chen Qinghai has dealt with someone like Fang Le in so many years.
Negotiations are all about who can keep his composure and whoever speaks first and asks for something will definitely lose.
Chen Qinghai invited Fang Le over today, which can be regarded as making a deal with Fang Le.
Originally, Chen Qinghai thought that Fang Le was young and he could still control it, but now it seems that Fang Le is more calm than him.
In other words, Fang Le didn't want to have anything to do with him at all, and he was just being polite by agreeing to eat this meal today.
"belch!"
Half an hour later, Fang Le burped and thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for the treat. It was a good meal today."
"As long as Professor Fang is satisfied."
Chen Qinghai said with a smile.
"It's okay, at least I'm full."
Fang Le smiled casually: "Director Chen didn't eat much."
"I have a small appetite."
Chen Qinghai said with a smile.
"I see that Mr. Chen is not too old, so why does he have a weak appetite?"
Fang Le said with concern: "It just so happens that I am a doctor and I am also proficient in traditional Chinese medicine. If I don't help Director Chen take a look, it would not be in vain that Director Chen invites me to have this big meal and drink such good tea."
Chen Qinghai: "..."
Mud, what a little fox, look at him.
Fang Le is a student of Sun Qingping, and his level of Chinese medicine is not low. Chen Qinghai naturally knows that, but if he invites Fang Le today, he is not asking him to see a doctor.
Besides, it’s not like he really has a small appetite because he eats less.
"Thank you Professor Fang for your kindness."
Chen Qinghai said: "I just ate something when I came here, so I won't bother Professor Fang."
"Director Chen invited me to dinner, but you ate it yourself before coming?"
Fang Le said in surprise: "This... is a bit lacking in sincerity. Am I being too rude? Originally, Director Chen just meant it?"
Chen Qinghai: "..."
Now Chen Qinghai finally understood why his son could not get any favors from Fang Le.
From the moment he met Fang Le until now, Chen Qinghai felt that he had not received any benefits. In the confrontation with Fang Le, he seemed to have been at a disadvantage.
Originally, Fang Le was treated to a nice cup of tea and a nice meal, which was considered a very good treat. As the saying goes, eating people is soft-spoken, and taking advantage of others is short-handed.
But Fang Le said a few words now, and it seemed that something was wrong with him, Chen Qinghai.
The friendship between a meal and a pot of good tea was just revealed by Fang Le in a few words.
Now Chen Qinghai can't bring up this issue anymore. If he does, it seems that Fang Le is too rude.
"Professor Fang is joking."
Chen Qinghai smiled and said: "If Professor Fang has finished eating, let's change places, exchange a pot of tea, and chat."
Before the food was served, Chen Qinghai said nothing. When the food was served, Fang Le was just eating, and Chen Qinghai was too embarrassed to interrupt.
Now that the meal is over, it's really not good to sit and talk in front of a lot of empty bowls and plates.
"Isn't this bad?"
Fang Le was a little embarrassed: "How about just having a meal as promised?"
Chen Qinghai: "......"
If Fang Le wasn't really important, Chen Qinghai would have wanted to beat Fang Le because of the way Fang Le was acting today.
That's so mean.
Have a meal, and then you actually have a meal?
When you finish eating, wipe your mouth and leave?
So what is his purpose today?
"Professor Fang, our Director Chen has already booked a private room. Let's drink some tea and eat some fruit after dinner."
Liu En hurriedly helped his boss out.
"Okay, let's wait a little longer."
Fang Le pondered for a moment and nodded.
Liu En was speechless beside him. Fang Le was so embarrassed by being like this. It felt like he could stay and give them a huge face.
And from the beginning to the end, Chen Qinghai really had no place to find fault with Fang Le's behavior.
You invited me to dinner, and I came. I was always very cooperative, polite, and impeccable.
It was the first time that Liu Endu saw his boss being so passive when talking to others.
"Professor Fang please."
Chen Qinghai stood up and invited Fang Le out of the private room, and the three of them went to another tea room.
It's still the same Longjing as before, with mountain spring water and the fragrance of tea overflowing.
“Good tea.”
Fang Le couldn't help but comment: "The reason why Longjing is famous is that this fragrance is particularly important."
"People often say that the aroma of wine is afraid of the depth of the alley. The aroma of Longjing is like its own signature. You don't need to drink it. Just smell it and you will know that this is good tea."
Fang Le said slowly: "My teacher told me that this tea is actually the same as people. It goes through various processes and suffers before it can be fragrant."
"Where's Chen Dongjue's?"
Fang Le asked Chen Qinghai.
"Professor Fang is right."
Chen Qinghai nodded.
"Some tea leaves may look inconspicuous, but when put into boiling water, they can instantly stretch and show themselves. Some tea leaves..."
Fang Le kept talking, and Chen Qinghai almost shut himself up.
As they talked about drinking tea and chatting for a while, Fang Le kept talking, and Fang Le almost spilled the tea leaves.
From philosophy of life to poems and songs, from poems and songs to ancient and modern celebrities... all we have to do is watch the snow, the stars and the moon together.
Chen Qinghai was completely convinced that Fang Le had indeed drank this good tea.
Seeing that the tea was brewing for the fourth time, Chen Qinghai finally couldn't help but interrupt Fang Le. If Fang Le continued to say this, let's not talk about the business today.
"Professor Fang."
Chen Qinghai said: "I invited Professor Fang to come here today because we really have something to discuss."
"Dr. Chen, you didn't tell me earlier."
Fang Le complained slightly: "I thought it was really just a meal and a cup of tea."
As he spoke, Fang Le apologized hastily: "I am young and have no eyesight. Don't blame me, Mr. Chen. But I am just a doctor. I only see patients and save people. Is this what Mr. Chen is talking about?"
"Humph, old fox!" Fang Le smiled in his heart.
Chen Qinghai: "..."
If Chen Qinghai hadn't grown up in Xijing City, endured hardships, and later arrived in the country of America, which has a deep city and knows how to be patient, he might have been directly angered by Fang Le.
If Fang Le was so angry, wouldn't it be in vain if he invited him to both dinner and tea today?
The news spread that he, Chen Qinghai, was unreasonable and that Fang Leduo cooperated with him.
