Chapter 118: Chapter 100: So Much Effort for a Bite to Eat

.......

Chen Fei and the others returned surprisingly fast. They had left at nine-thirty and were back by eleven-thirty, the round trip taking only two hours.

To put that in perspective, it usually took nearly an hour to return from the lamb hot pot restaurant Su Chen liked. For them to be so quick in today’s heavy snow, it just showed how fast they must have been driving.

In Aunt Tang’s skilled hands, a fresh Wuzhumuqin sheep was quickly stripped down to the bone.

Since the weather was already cold, the rolled lamb was ready to be sliced after just half an hour of setting.

They sliced fifteen full plates, each one piled high with meat. Su Chen, Jiang Hui, and the other two, along with Aunt Tang, started their own family-style lamb hot pot feast.

Dipping the freshly cooked lamb in sauce and taking a bite brought immense satisfaction.

"Mmm, good food really warms the heart," Su Chen said with a sigh of contentment.

Seeing this, the others also dug in.

"By the way, Mr. Su~" Chen Fei started to speak before he had even swallowed the lamb in his mouth. He had remembered something he heard at Li Fei’s lamb restaurant, something that might be useful to Su Chen.

"What is it?" Su Chen looked up from his meal, glancing at Chen Fei in confusion.

"Well, it’s like this..."

It turned out that when Chen Fei and the others went to the lamb restaurant to pick up the meat, Li Fei had told them that the Wuzhumuqin sheep farmers in Inner Mongolia were having internal disputes again this year. As a result, prices were over twenty percent lower than the market rate. If someone wanted to stock up on lamb, they could buy it in bulk from Inner Mongolia.

Chen Fei knew his boss was a foodie. He might just buy a few, or even a dozen, sheep to freeze. And if he did, Chen Fei would get to enjoy some of it too!

Hearing this, Su Chen recalled something he had discussed with Xiao Chen the first time he went for lamb hot pot. If one could consolidate the entire Wuzhumuqin sheep industry, the market would be unprecedentedly massive.

Wuzhumuqin sheep were considered the absolute best in the country. Not only was the meat delicious, but it also had a faint, grassy fragrance.

"Hmm, I see," Su Chen said after a moment of thought, then returned his focus to the hot pot.

When Chen Fei saw that his boss didn’t have much of a reaction, he couldn’t help but sigh internally. ’So much for my dream of more lamb.’

After about an hour of eating, the five of them had polished off all fifteen plates of lamb, leaving each of them with a full, round belly.

"Ah, I’m stuffed. I’m going to go rest for a bit. Old Jiang, remember what I told you. Buy an extra one when the time comes!" With that, Su Chen headed upstairs.

Once Su Chen was completely out of sight, a thought struck Chen Fei. He sidled up to Jiang Hui and asked, "Steward Jiang, what did Mr. Su mean just now? Is he planning to buy more cars?"

Jiang Hui shot him a look, seeing right through his little schemes. "Mm, Mr. Su asked me to buy two SUVs. It’s snowing in the Imperial Capital now, you know. The Rolls-Royce isn’t very convenient for getting around."

Hearing this, it wasn’t just Chen Fei; Xiao Peng’s eyes also lit up as he stared at Jiang Hui.

"Steward Jiang, how about a Jeep Wrangler? They’re powerful and convenient for getting around!" Chen Fei said with a hopeful tone.

Xiao Peng, standing to the side, nodded in agreement. Jeeps were so cool; with a few modifications, it would be the god of off-roading.

Jiang Hui’s eyes lowered slightly, the smile on his face fading. "You can think about it, sure. When you get your salaries next year, you can buy one for yourselves. You need to understand, we are buying SUVs for Mr. Su’s convenience, not for your amusement."

"And... let me be blunt. Mr. Su is very good to us, very easygoing. But that’s not an excuse for you to get carried away. I hope you will be mindful of your positions sometimes."

After saying his piece, Jiang Hui started clearing the table with Aunt Tang.

These words plunged both Chen Fei and Xiao Peng into deep thought. Su Chen was indeed too good to them. It wasn’t just the high salary and various benefits; he treated them well day-to-day, unlike other big bosses who worked their employees like cattle.

This had given them the false impression that they were friends with Su Chen...

The two of them quickly realized their mistake.

"Pengzai, Steward Jiang’s words are a wake-up call for us. From now on, we must always maintain a sense of reverence for the boss!"

"I get it, Brother Fei!" Although Xiao Peng was young, it didn’t mean he was clueless. On the contrary, he was quite smart. He understood that Steward Jiang’s words were a reprimand, a way to rein them in.

Back upstairs, Su Chen didn’t rest. Instead, he sent a message to Xiao Chen and waited for him to call back.
