Guan Zhiwei took care of it personally, and the couple went into battle together, and a table of meals was quickly cooked.
It can be seen that Guan Zhiwei spent some money, and what is served on the table are all rare and good dishes.
The wine table was set up here, and Guan Zhiwei respectfully asked Li Chen to take a seat.
After Li Chen sat down, Guan Zhiwei planned to have his son carried down.
According to ancient rules, women and children are not allowed to eat at the table.
You have to wait until the guests have finished eating and left.
Li Chen took the initiative and said, "Call your wife and children, and you and your family will eat with me."
Guan Zhiwei was a little stunned.
He felt that Li Chen was too kind to him today.
But Li Chen made a request, and of course he would not refuse, so he immediately sent someone to call his wife and children back.
Guan Zhiwei's wife is a charming woman. She is not ugly and has a good taste. She is just shy. She probably knew Li Chen's identity from Guan Zhiwei in advance, so she behaved and spoke with trepidation.
They all say it's not good.
The child, on the other hand, seemed to like Li Chen very much and kept leaning on Li Chen.
Guan Zhiwei scolded him, and Li Chen waved his hands with a smile, showing unusual tolerance for this child.
As for Sanbao, he has no place where Li Chen sits and eats. He has to stand behind Li Chen to serve him all the time.
If Li Chen didn't tell him, Guan Zhiwei certainly wouldn't invite Sanbao...
If Li Chen is not here, then Sanbao, as the owner of Dongchang Factory, will of course have a higher status than him. But if Li Chen is here, Sanbao is essentially a slave. How can a slave sit at the same table as his master?
After eating for a while, Li Chen put down his chopsticks.
As soon as he let it go, Guan Zhiwei and his wife immediately put down their chopsticks.
Only the ignorant child was still holding a pig's trotter and gnawing at it.
"Guan Zhiwei, how long have you been working for me?" Li Chen asked.
Guan Zhiwei replied without hesitation: "It's been more than a year and eight months."
Li Chen nodded and said: "It has been less than two years since I took over the power of supervising the country. You have served me for one year and eight months, which is not a short time."
"In the past year or so, you have made great contributions and hard work. You have done many things well, and I have noticed it."
Guan Zhiwei immediately stood up and said: "It is the duty of a humble minister to die for His Highness, and it is also a blessing. I dare not talk about merit. Your Highness has betrayed the humble minister."
"Sit down, sit down."
Li Chen pointed to Guan Zhiwei's seat and said, "I'm here to chat with you today, so there's no need to be so formal."
Guan Zhiwei smiled and quickly sat down.
It was just Li Chen's next words that shocked Guan Zhiwei and almost fell off his chair.
"I am a nostalgic person, and I can clearly see who of the people below are working for me seriously and who are perfunctory. In my opinion, you and Xu Changqing have followed me very early, doing things.
If you are diligent and hardworking in everything you do, you will inevitably have prosperity and wealth in the future."
"But unfortunately, some people just can't wait until that time."
Guan Zhiwei raised his head, and with a pale face, he forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"
As if not hearing what he said, Li Chen took a sip from the wine glass and said, "This wine is good, but I can't taste where it comes from?"
"Your Highness, yes, I brewed it myself."
Guan Zhiwei's wife said cautiously: "Every year I pick some osmanthus flowers to make wine."
"Well, no wonder there is some osmanthus fragrance."
Li Chen praised, then turned to Guan Zhiwei, who was frightened by what he just said, and said warmly: "What benefits did Zhao Xuanji give you?"
