11: Go eat

Gu Xinyu watched the flickering expression on Jiang Yuan's face and his sudden shake of the head, a trace of curiosity involuntarily rising in her heart.

This newly minted billionaire client of hers seemed completely different from the businessmen and corporate titans she had dealt with in the past; he was more like a youth full of vigor, carrying a hint of innocence while simultaneously possessing a certain unfathomable quality.

"Brother Jiang, what are you thinking about?"

She asked softly, her voice carrying just the right amount of concern without seeming overly intrusive.

Jiang Yuan snapped back to reality, looking at Gu Xinyu's puzzled yet professionally smiling face, and couldn't help but smile.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking that after having money, I've found that many things I previously craved don't seem as interesting anymore."

He said with some emotion; this realization was the most intuitive experience he had gained after the instantaneous transformation from an ordinary person to a billionaire.

Gu Xinyu's eyes flickered slightly; she understood the kind of "emptiness" Jiang Yuan spoke of. Many top billionaires, after being materially satisfied, would indeed pursue a higher level of spirituality or seek more stimulating life experiences.

She couldn't help but ponder to herself that this might be an aspect she needed to focus on when serving Jiang Yuan in the future.

"Brother Jiang is right; material satisfaction is just the foundation, while mental pleasure and exploration are the more lasting joys."

Gu Xinyu replied cleverly, both agreeing with Jiang Yuan's point of view and hinting that she could provide deeper levels of service.

"Indeed, that's why I want to go and see the magnificent landscape."

Jiang Yuan nodded, his eyes sparkling with a longing for distant places.

When the two returned to the Hilton Hotel, it was already past seven in the evening, just in time for their dinner appointment.

And Ya Ya also sent a WeChat message at just the right time.

Ya Ya: 'Brother Jiang, are you awake? Are you still in Taian? If you are, do you have time to have dinner together tonight?'

"Mm, I have time, but I have another friend joining us."

Jiang Yuan waited two minutes before slowly typing his reply, his fingertips tapping lightly, a hint of composure showing between the lines.

"Okay, okay, Brother Jiang! Brother Jiang's friend is Ya Ya's friend, so I'll go make a reservation now!"

Ya Ya was stunned for a moment; she had originally thought it would be a cozy dinner for two and hadn't expected a third person. However, she quickly replied enthusiastically, her tone carrying a hint of surprise and excitement.

"No need, I've already booked it. Let's go to Kuishanju; I'll come to your residential complex gate to pick you up."

Jiang Yuan replied, simultaneously informing Ya Ya of his arrangements.

"Okay, Brother Jiang."

Ya Ya replied immediately.

Afterward, Jiang Yuan left the hotel with Gu Xinyu.

Before leaving, he conveniently extended his stay for another night at the front desk and thoughtfully booked a suite right next to his for Gu Xinyu, so it would be convenient to contact each other if anything came up, showing great consideration.

The brabus g900, like a white steel beast, slowly drove out of the parking lot. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the car body reflected a dazzling light as it headed toward the residential complex where Ya Ya lived.

Passersby along the way turned their heads; it was currently the evening rush hour, and combined with the scorching summer, there were extra pedestrians and vehicles on the road, causing a commotion wherever this luxury car went.

While waiting at a red light, the driver of a small sedan next to them couldn't help but look up, sizing up the behemoth beside him, his mouth slightly agape, his eyes filled with shock.

"Damn! Why is this big G so huge! It feels like it could crush right over me!"

The driver exclaimed, his tone filled with an incredible sense of shock.

"Idiot, this isn't just a big G; this is a brabus, Mercedes's in-house tuning firm. Everything that comes out is a legal modified model. It looks like this one is definitely a G800!"

A companion nearby who knew a bit about cars explained with a disdainful sneer, his tone carrying a sense of superiority.

They were also tourists visiting Mount Tai from out of town, driving a Mercedes AMG C63 worth over a million, so they could be considered somewhat well-off.

But when this brabus g900 stopped beside them, that crushing aura was simply worlds apart, making their million-dollar car instantly pale in comparison.

When the red light turned green, the behemoth didn't hesitate at all; the engine let out a low and powerful roar, the front of the car lifted, and it surged forward instantly. At the same time, they clearly saw the logo on the rear of the car.

"brabus g900? Isn't this car not sold domestically? I didn't expect to see the real thing today! Let's go, follow it and see; we can climb the mountain later!"

The young man in the passenger seat narrowed his eyes; he noticed that this car was indeed different from a regular G800, and a strong sense of curiosity rose in his heart. He couldn't wait to see what kind of person was driving inside.

Before long, they discovered that this top-tier off-road vehicle had stopped at the entrance of a residential complex. Immediately after, a girl whose appearance was not top-tier and whose temperament was relatively ordinary got into the back seat of the car.

"No way, driving a car worth tens of millions just to eat this? It's even worse than what I eat..."

The driver couldn't help but mutter, appearing somewhat puzzled.

"I tell you you're an idiot, and you don't believe me! Didn't you notice she got into the back seat? Either there's someone in the passenger seat, or this woman is a hidden wealthy princess!"

The young man in the passenger seat unleashed another round of merciless ridicule, leaving the driver speechless and unable to refute, forcing him to retract his gaze in frustration.

"Hello, Brother Jiang. And who is this?"

After Ya Ya got in the car, she first politely greeted Jiang Yuan, then turned her head, looking at Gu Xinyu in the passenger seat with curious and slightly inquisitive eyes.

"Hello, I am Mr. Jiang's private bank exclusive manager, Gu Xinyu."

Gu Xinyu smiled slightly and responded elegantly; her voice was like a flowing clear spring, pleasant and melodious.

'She has such great temperament, she's so beautiful...'

Seeing Gu Xinyu's appearance and temperament, Ya Ya was stunned in place, a strong sense of self-abasement involuntarily rising in her heart.

She felt that compared to her, she was like heaven and earth; the gap was so large that it made her feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Hello, Sister Xinyu, my name is Ya Ya."

But she quickly adjusted her mindset, smiled sweetly, and greeted her politely, trying hard to appear natural.

Kuishanju is located in a relatively remote area on the outskirts of Taian, far from the hustle and bustle of the city center.

This was a seat that Gu Xinyu had managed to book in advance by leveraging her private banking connections, a place not easily accessible to ordinary people.

This restaurant is a century-old establishment; even though its location is remote, it is often bustling with customers, with a constant stream of visitors, and it often requires booking several days in advance to secure a seat.

The restaurant mainly focuses on authentic Lu cuisine and is deeply loved by many locals and tourists.

Its consumption model is divided into two types:

The outer hall and ordinary private rooms are mainly used to entertain ordinary guests, with an average per capita consumption of only two or three hundred yuan.

But inside, there is a hidden world; only those with special connections or distinguished status can enter to dine. That is the most private and luxurious area of the restaurant.

And Jiang Yuan, naturally, was that kind of person "with connections."

Following the respectful guidance of the doorman, the brabus g900 drove straight through a neatly trimmed grove and scattered rockeries, finally entering a spacious and elegant courtyard.

Inside the courtyard was a row of antique-style buildings, with rockeries piled up from Mount Tai stones, surrounded by a crystal-clear pond, appearing exceptionally quiet, as if it were a paradise away from the world.

It was very quiet here; the courtyard was spacious, with only a few luxury cars sparsely parked.

Jiang Yuan took the opportunity to park the car next to a "little tiger"—a Range Rover—which also looked quite high-end.
