Only after Su Chen sat down did Si Cong and the others follow suit.
Qin Fen and Hou Ting both looked at Su Chen curiously, wondering to themselves, ’What’s this guy’s story? For Si Cong and Chen Feiyu to treat him this way... We’re familiar with every notable second-generation heir in the country.’
Plus, Si Cong had just said he wasn’t from the Imperial Capital, which made it all the more baffling.
Su Chen noticed all four of them staring at him and said to Si Cong, "Why is everyone looking at me? Get to the point. I want to go back and catch up on my sleep when we’re done."
Hearing this, Si Cong cleared his throat, drawing the gazes of Chen Feiyu and the other two toward him. He then said, "I’ve called you all here today to talk about a project that’s going to make a killing!"
"Make a killing? If it were really that profitable, would you be including us? You’d probably have secretly invested in it yourself by now!" Qin Fen blurted out without thinking.
The room instantly fell silent. Seeing this, Qin Fen seemed to realize he had misspoken.
Fortunately, Chen Feiyu, who was beside him, quickly saved the situation, preventing the awkwardness from lingering.
"Si Cong, what’s this project you’re talking about?"
"I’m also curious about what this profitable project is!" Hou Ting chimed in.
Si Cong didn’t answer right away. Instead, he got up, walked to the door of the private room, and said a few words to the staff waiting outside.
A moment later, two lovely waitresses came in carrying three decanters of wine and several glasses.
The waitresses placed a wine glass in front of each person. One of them then took the rightmost decanter and poured a small amount into every glass.
"Have a taste, see what you think!" Si Cong gestured for them to begin, then leisurely picked up his own glass to savor it.
Chen Feiyu didn’t hesitate. ’I get it now,’ he thought. ’It seems Su Chen is the real boss here, and Si Cong is just the point man leading the charge.’
He picked up his glass and gave it a gentle swirl, noticing the wine was incredibly smooth, leaving no streaks on the glass.
He took a large gulp, letting it wash over his palate in several small swallows.
When the pure, rich flavor rushed from his mouth straight to his head, Chen Feiyu couldn’t help but down the rest of the wine in his glass.
"This wine is incredible! It’s so much better than anything I’ve had before!"
