Leisure gathering of the second generation

The food tasted pretty good; Chen Dong was quite satisfied.

"Sister Wanying, all the factory buildings need canteens. The Textile Factory, Garment Factory, and Computer Factory all have areas planned for canteens. There are many employees there, so the canteens need to be built large. If not, we can stagger meal times.

Also, these chefs need to be rotated.

People are like that; they get tired of eating the same taste for a long time. Let the chefs from the different canteens rotate in batches every two or three months to ensure everyone gets to try different flavors and dishes…"

Just as they finished chatting, Lin Yichu brought her four partners and sat down.

"How is everyone doing? Are you getting used to things?" Chen Dong greeted the five with a smile, his gaze mainly on the four new partners.

"It's great here, I really like it." Lin Nan was similar in age to Chen Dong and seemed a bit lively.

But Chen Dong knew from Lin Yichu that Lin Nan was the software expert in their team, the best at programming, quick-witted, and very flexible in his thinking.

"That's good. The software department is temporarily in your hands, Lin Nan."

"No problem, Sister Wanying already told me everything. I’ll get that takeout software and ride-hailing platform software done for you in the next two days.

There's just one issue: if you want a large number of customers to use it, it's best to find a separate building. When there are many users, a very large server is needed to store data, and this office building definitely won't be enough."

"Okay, I'll make a note of that first. You go ahead and get the software ready."

In the afternoon, Chen Dong received a call from Xiao Han.

"Brother Xiao, I was just about to look for you, and your call came through."

"Really? Are we that in sync?"

"Haha, absolutely!" Chen Dong laughed heartily,

"Mainly, I don't know which places in Jinghai are fun, so you guys will have to show me around."

"Are you free tonight? Seven PM, Wang Cheng is hosting a beach barbecue. Can you make it? Brother Xiao tells you, Wang Cheng has a beach resort hotel over there, and it's very unique."

"If you say that, then I absolutely must be free!" Chen Dong was very satisfied with the arrangement they made last time at Xinfeyang Bar. And speaking of which, he really should take the initiative to host something himself.

But currently, he didn't feel particularly safe. Who knew what the Shen Family's attitude was exactly?

"Tonight, another important figure will be coming. It’ll be a good chance to introduce you two."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Dong's curiosity was piqued. An important figure? It definitely couldn't be someone from the older generation; after all, what respectable young person goes to a respectable hotel to have fun and brings an elder?

Among peers, there weren’t many in Jinghai who could be described as an important figure by a big shot like Xiao Han.

Jinghai's first-tier consists of the Shen Family's Anren Group and the Bai Family's Bai Group, while the Xiao Family can be considered second-tier. It seems the important figure Chen Dong mentioned should be a prominent young talent from either the Shen Family or the Bai Family.

Hopefully, it's not Shen Xingyu from the Shen Family, given his current ambiguous relationship with his father, Shen Wanhua.

If it were the eldest young master of the Bai Family, that would be Bai Shaolong. Chen Dong had also looked into his information; he seemed like a respectable rich second-generation with generally good reviews.

Jinghai is by the sea, but there's only one relatively good sea-viewing spot, with the best location occupied by the port.

At half-past six, Chen Dong drove his G-Wagon towards the Bund. Along the way, he frequently saw supercars carrying beautiful women in cool swimsuits heading to the beach.

"My car is indeed a bit out of place. I'll make time tomorrow to buy two good cars."

Things were busy for a while, and it was time to relax.

To the northwest of the Bund, there was a small mountain with many landscaped areas, very well-developed.

At the summit stood a luxurious eleven-story building hotel, covering an area of about 2,000 square meters, with its magnificent lights visible from afar.

But Chen Dong's destination was not it, but a small road halfway up the mountain.

A left turn led into a small road, with neatly arranged landscape trees on both sides.

Ahead, an iron gate blocked the way.

When Chen Dong's car arrived, a security guard jogged forward, first respectfully saluting, then looking at Chen Dong as the car window rolled down,

"Hello, sir. May I ask what brings you here?"

"I'm looking for Wang Cheng. He invited me for a barbecue."

"Please wait a moment, sir. I need to ask for instructions."

Boom! A violent roar came from behind, and a red Ferrari 458 stopped next to Chen Dong's G-Wagon.

The car window rolled down, and Xiao Han turned to look at Chen Dong,

"Dongzi, you don't just have this one car, do you? Every time I see you, you're driving it?"

Chen Dong's old face flushed, and he pinched his nose,

"Yeah, I haven't had time. Brother Xiao, do you have any good connections? I don't really know much about good cars."

In his previous life, Chen Dong was a genuine ordinary homebody. Let alone supercars, Mercedes-Benz and BMW were luxuries for him.

But how many young men don't like supercars? The wild roar of the engine can make adrenaline surge, and parking a luxury sports car in front of a university entrance definitely makes you one of the coolest guys.

"Haha, why didn't you say so earlier? Wang Cheng has a car dealership that specializes in high-end cars; and there's another friend, Qiao Ran, who specializes in BMWs and Mercedes-Benz. They have quite a few new models and imported cars.

Wang Cheng also spearheaded a supercar club. Whenever someone buys a good car, he invites everyone to drive it around a couple of times.

If you trust them, you can just go directly to the two of them when buying a car in the future."

"What's there not to trust? I'll find Brother Wang later to order two good cars."

The security guard at the gate clearly recognized Xiao Han and quickly respectfully opened the gate, letting the two pass.

Xiao Han seemed to be a regular here. He took the lead, stepping on the gas and driving ahead to lead the way for Chen Dong.

Once the car entered the gate, the inside appeared even more upscale, with exquisite flowers, plants, and trees meticulously maintained.

Driving straight for about 300 meters, a standard open-air swimming pool appeared in view. Behind the pool were several Chinese-style buildings, not tall, seemingly hidden among the trees.

The car drove to the right side of the pool and parked in the parking lot.

Wang Cheng, Jiang Hui, and a young man standing beside them—who must be Qiao Ran, as Xiao Han mentioned—had already come out.

"Brother Xiao, Dongzi, you're quite early!"

The few of them greeted each other warmly. It was Chen Dong's first time meeting Qiao Ran, and he found him a bit amusing; his eyes weren't big, narrowing into a line when he smiled.

"Is Young Master Bai on his way yet?" Xiao Han asked casually.

"He just sent a message saying he's almost here." Wang Cheng pointed behind the lobby,

"Let's go, let's sit in the back first. We can chat while we wait."

The first-floor lobby of this building led directly to the backyard, which resembled a small garden. In the middle of a large open space, tables were set up, with melon seeds, peanuts, and drinks on them.

Although it was autumn and the weather had cooled slightly, the mosquitoes were still fierce this season. Only thick incense sticks could be lit around, giving a sense of thin smoke swirling under the lights.

"Brother Wang, I just heard Brother Xiao say you have a lot of good cars. When are you free? Can you take me to see them?"
