102: Enjoy life to the fullest

The motorcade drove imposingly through the bustling streets.

Although it was currently the evening rush hour, it meant nothing to Jiang Che.

Every vehicle in his motorcade was equipped with a special pass, allowing them to completely ignore the heavily congested traffic around them.

Surrounding vehicles, seeing such a line of luxury cars, all hurriedly kept their distance.

Fearing that a careless scratch might cost them the rest of their lives.

Seeing the hongqi state limo in the very center, with the license plate Jiang A.00001, pedestrians began to whisper and discuss, secretly guessing what kind of big shot was sitting inside that car.

After all, the hongqi state limo model was extremely rare to see, let alone paired with such an insanely awesome license plate.

After driving for half an hour, the motorcade slowly stopped in front of a high-end restaurant.

Da Ma Hou got out of the driver's seat, wearing white gloves, and respectfully opened the rear door, beaming with a smile and bowing repeatedly.

"Young Master, Young Madam, we have arrived at the destination..."

"Hmm..."

Jiang Che nodded slightly, said nothing more, and pulled Leng Qingqiu out of the car.

After Qiang Zi returned from the hospital and finished his work monitoring Lin Ming, Jiang Che sent him directly to a film crew for further training to learn acting, as he would have great use for him in the future.

Therefore, for the past few days, the ones driving for Jiang Che had been Da Ma Hou and Lu Ergou, who were also responsible for his security.

Although Leng Qingqiu felt a bit embarrassed by Da Ma Hou calling her "Young Madam," she didn't refute it and accepted it readily.

"What a golden boy and jade girl, a match made in heaven!"

"I wonder when I, Da Ma Hou, will be able to find true love!"

Watching the backs of Jiang Che and Leng Qingqiu as they left, Da Ma Hou lit a cigarette, puffed out smoke, and suddenly sighed with emotion, feeling melancholic as he fell into fond memories of his youth...

However, he hadn't been reminiscing for long before he was interrupted by Lu Ergou, who walked over.

"Da Ma Hou, what are you thinking about!"

"After the other brothers come to take over our shift later, let's head to Heaven on Earth!"

"Hehe... I heard from the landlady that a few female college students arrived recently, and they are top-notch!"

"College life is great, you know what I mean!"

Lu Ergou put his arm around Da Ma Hou's shoulder, acting chummy with a lewd smile; combined with his burly physique, he didn't look like a good guy at all.

"Are there really female college students?"

Hearing Lu Ergou say this, Da Ma Hou's eyes lit up, and he instantly threw his melancholy feelings to the back of his mind.

The most important thing for a person is to live in the moment; thinking about all that other nonsense is useless!

A man lives a lifetime for nothing more than two things.

Just enjoying life is enough!

Anyway, working as bodyguards for the Young Master, they had more money than they could spend, with an annual salary starting in the tens of millions; they could even live in Heaven on Earth permanently without any issues.

He really loved things like female college students.

"Of course it's true, hehe..."

Lu Ergou rubbed his hands in excitement, his expression agitated, and he exchanged a smile with Da Ma Hou; everything was understood without words.

After entering the Juxian Restaurant, led by the restaurant manager, Jiang Che took Leng Qingqiu up to the second floor and entered a VIP private room.

"Young Master Jiang, all the ingredients are prepared, and thirty-six head chefs are in place. Shall I have them serve the dishes now?"

After Jiang Che and his companion took their seats, the restaurant manager spoke respectfully, his words full of reverence.

"Start directly. Bring the 1935 Lai Mao liquor that I keep here."

Jiang Che ordered casually and took a small sip of clear tea.

"Very well, Young Master Jiang..."

The restaurant manager acknowledged and then bowed respectfully before leaving.

"What kind of dishes did you order that require thirty-six head chefs to cook simultaneously?"

After the restaurant manager left, Leng Qingqiu looked up at Jiang Che with a strange expression.

Is this the luxury belonging to a top-tier Young Master?

Requiring thirty-six head chefs just to cook a casual meal?

Leng Qingqiu was naturally no stranger to Juxian Restaurant; it was said to be an old establishment with a two-hundred-year Legacy and a long history.

Here, a single casual dish could be worth two months of work for an ordinary person, and everyone who could afford to eat here was extremely wealthy, either rich or noble.

Jiang Che demanding thirty-six head chefs to start cooking at once really shocked Leng Qingqiu.

"Have you ever had the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast?"

"Their version is not bad; you can try it..."

Jiang Che smiled lightly and answered indifferently.

"The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast?"

"A full one hundred and eight dishes; we couldn't possibly finish them all..."

"It's fine, if we can't finish it, wasting it is fine."

Leng Qingqiu: ...

Soon, beautiful waitresses dressed in cheongsams placed precious dishes one by one on the huge round table in front of the two.

The young waitress had a sweet smile on her face, her voice soft and sweet.

"Young Master Jiang, this dish is named 'A Line of Wild Geese Flying South'..."

"That dish is 'Two Roast Ducks Heading North'..."

"This is Bird's Nest and Shredded Chicken Soup, and that is Steamed Scallops..."

"Young Master Jiang, this is the 1935 Lai Mao liquor you keep at our shop..."

The beautiful waitress carefully placed a bottle of white liquor in front of Jiang Che.

After all the food was served, the waitresses all withdrew. Then, a group of beautiful women in ancient-style long dresses, with veils covering their faces, slender figures, and striking appearances, entered the private room.

Orchestral music echoed; the zither music was melodious, the flute and sheng were crisp, the instruments played in harmony, lingering in the rafters, endlessly echoing.

A dozen or so enchanting, graceful, and beautiful women in ancient-style attire began to dance, like agile butterflies flitting through a flower field, fully displaying their beautiful figures, which was a feast for the eyes.

Enjoying the stunning ancient-style dance and listening to the rhythmic, wonderful melody, Jiang Che felt relaxed. He opened the Lai Mao, poured two small glasses, and smiled.

"This is the treasured national cellar liquor that the Old Man brought back for me from the Imperial Capital last time."

"This liquor has a hundred-year history. The last time it appeared was twenty years ago, when it was auctioned for a high price of ten million."

"Nowadays, only three bottles remain in the entire Dragon Country. Have a taste."

Leng Qingqiu didn't usually drink white liquor, but hearing Jiang Che say this, she didn't say another word, picked up the wine glass, and took a small sip.

With one of the only three bottles of white liquor left in the Dragon Country placed right in front of her, what reason did she have to be coy?

Such unique, fine liquor—let alone her, even those truly top-tier powerful figures probably hadn't had the chance to drink it.

From this, it was evident that the Jiang Family's power was even more terrifying than she had understood, awe-inspiring to behold.

Tasting the precious dishes and drinking the unique, superior liquor, Leng Qingqiu felt deeply moved.

This is what true life is!

Leng Qingqiu had always felt that her own life was luxurious enough.

But after witnessing Jiang Che's daily life, she realized her perspective was still too limited.

Not to mention this bottle of Lai Mao, just this meal today, plus this group of dancers and accompaniment, it probably wouldn't cost less than several million.

An ordinary Manchu-Han Imperial Feast usually costs about a million for a table, but Jiang Che's table used only the finest ingredients, comparable to the imperial meals of ancient emperors, so the price was naturally astronomical.

After three ounces of liquor, Leng Qingqiu was slightly tipsy, her face flushed red. She leaned on Jiang Che's shoulder, watching the dancers' graceful movements, her eyes hazy with intoxication.

Originally, she had been puzzled about how people in ancient times, without any entertainment projects, passed their boring time.

Now, Leng Qingqiu understood.

With this kind of life, who wouldn't be intoxicated!

Of course, this was limited to those high-ranking officials and nobles in ancient times; for ordinary people, being able to eat their fill was already a blessing.
