A Palace Feast (Second Update)

A Palace Feast (Second Update)

Fan Xiu secretly glanced at Su Tianlong, then compared him with the photo. He could not help asking in surprise, "Yan Yan, why do you have a photo of Director Su?"

A storm had already erupted in Lin Yan's heart.

"Look at the headline on the photo."

"Chairman of Huaxia's Tianlong Group donates one billion yuan to the country."

"Holy shit, Director Su is the Chairman of Tianlong Group?" Fan Xiu cried out in shock.

Everyone heard Fan Xiu's words and stared in astonishment at Su Tianlong, who was sitting there chatting and laughing with Fan Zhicheng.

Su Tianlong smiled faintly. "What's wrong, everyone? I've put on a little weight lately. Do I not look like the photo anymore?"

Hearing Su Tianlong's joke, everyone hurriedly shook their heads, their expressions growing even more reserved.

"Xiaoyu, Director Su is the Chairman of Tianlong Group? The one that developed 5G technology?"

Xie Wanru asked in surprise.

Fan Yu took a sip of Daye Maotai and nodded indifferently. "Yeah. What about it?"

"You brat, why didn't you tell us beforehand?"

Seeing her son's casual attitude, Xie Wanru could not help frowning. 5G was a major matter that benefited both the country and its people. It had been a hot topic throughout Huaxia lately, but Su Tianlong had kept an extremely low profile. Tianlong Group handled the newspaper reports and news appearances, while Su Tianlong rarely showed himself, so no one had recognized him right away.

Fan Yu shrugged. "Wasn't I just afraid everyone would make a fuss?"

Su Xi, on the other hand, showed no change in expression.

Now that they knew Su Tianlong was the Chairman of Tianlong Group, no one wondered anymore about Fan Yu suddenly becoming rich. With a father-in-law like this, Fan Yu's little bit of money was nothing more than pocket change.

Su Tianlong did not explain anything either. As long as he knew Fan Yu's background, that was enough.

As the meal continued, everyone gradually relaxed. Su Tianlong did not put on airs, so they no longer felt so restrained.

The meal ended with both hosts and guests thoroughly enjoying themselves. Fan Zhicheng and his wife felt immensely proud as well. Their son had found such a father-in-law, so they naturally benefited from his prestige too.

After the meal, as they were leaving Tianfu Restaurant, Fan Yu reminded his parents, uncle, and the others not to tell anyone about him.

His parents, uncle, and the rest understood what Fan Yu meant. A tall tree caught the wind; they did not want to invite trouble.

Su Tianlong had brought many bodyguards, and Fan Yu and Su Xi had not driven themselves. They sat in the car and chatted with Fan Zhicheng and the others.

Su Tianlong still had business to handle at the company, so he did not stay long. Everyone went their separate ways.

At the five-star Beauty Hotel, Fan Yu booked a presidential suite for his uncle's family.

At 88,888 yuan per night, it left his uncle's family extremely satisfied with Fan Yu.

When they entered Beauty Hotel, his uncle's family was deeply shocked.

The entire hotel was filled with an artistic atmosphere, and the presidential suite was practically like a standalone villa.

The hotel had massage rooms and an outdoor swimming pool.

They could enjoy free massages and sunbathe without even needing to go to the seaside.

After chatting with his uncle and the others for a while, Fan Yu left with his parents and Su Xi.

They agreed to get up the next day and visit the Bund together.

With his parents in the car, Fan Yu returned to Tomson Riviera.

However, Fan Yu was surprised to discover that Su Xi also owned a place at Tomson Riviera.

Su Xi looked at Fan Yu. "What? Am I not allowed to own a place at Tomson Riviera?"

Fan Yu shook his head. "Of course you are. I'd be the one surprised if you didn't own a place at Tomson Riviera."

When they arrived at his own Imperial Suite, he discovered that Su Xi was actually his downstairs neighbor.

"I've been living at Tomson Riviera for so long. How come I've never run into you?"

Fan Yu asked in confusion.

He had lived at Tomson Riviera for nearly half a month. He went up and down all the time, yet he really had never seen Su Xi.

Su Xi said blandly, "I don't really like Tomson Riviera. Moon Lake is more comfortable. When I wake up every day, I can enjoy the scenery of Moon Lake."

Fan Yu nodded in understanding. "True, Moon Lake is indeed nice. When I have time, I'll buy a place there too."

A villa worth over a hundred million sounded like a joke when Fan Yu said it—he spoke as if he could simply buy one whenever he wanted.

Su Xi knew Fan Yu's financial strength. A Moon Lake Villa was as insignificant to him as plucking out a strand of hair—neither painful nor bothersome.

After saying goodbye to Fan Zhicheng and his wife, Su Xi returned to the room downstairs.

Looking at the luxurious decor of the Imperial Suite, Fan Zhicheng and his wife could not help feeling proud. Their son had truly made something of himself.

"Oh, right, Xiaoyu, isn't your aunt in Magic City?"

"Where is she staying now?"

"Auntie thought staying with me would be inconvenient, so she's living at the company."

"Oh. Call your aunt tomorrow, and we can go sightseeing together," Xie Yuqing said.

Fan Yu nodded. "Alright, Mom. We'll see if Auntie has time then."

Early the next morning, his mother was already up, making breakfast in the kitchen.

Fan Yu sat up groggily and began his daily check-in.

Ding. Today's check-in has begun. Would you like to check in?

"Check in."

Ding. Check-in successful. Check-in reward: "Manchu Han Imperial Feast Cookbook."

"What's that?"

Fan Yu asked in confusion.

After looking through the Manchu Han Imperial Feast Cookbook, Fan Yu understood what it was.

The Manchu Han Imperial Feast had once been an imperial banquet reserved for Qing Dynasty emperors. It recorded a total of 108 dishes—fifty-four southern dishes and fifty-four northern dishes—all of them among the finest delicacies in the world.

It included braised, fried, stir-fried, quick-fried, roasted, and other flavors, making it a true treasure of Chinese culinary culture.

The dishes passed down to later generations were probably not authentic at all, and much of the heritage might have been lost as well. They could not be considered a true Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

The Manchu Han Imperial Feast included savory and sweet dishes, meat and vegetarian dishes, with ingredients drawn from a vast range of sources and prepared with the utmost care. It encompassed every kind of mountain and sea delicacy.

There were also rituals and customs involved. Being able to dine on a Manchu Han Imperial Feast was a symbol of status.

"A pretty good reward," Fan Yu said with a smile after reading the introduction to the Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

If he could open a restaurant and incorporate these Manchu Han Imperial Feast dishes into it, it would definitely become wildly popular. It might even break through to a six-star restaurant.

In high spirits, Fan Yu walked out of his room and caught the aroma of food drifting up from downstairs.

"Mom, why are you up so early?"

Wearing a tank top and baggy shorts, Fan Yu came downstairs and called out loudly.

Fan Zhicheng, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, could not help asking, "Xiao Yu, do you get up this late every day?"

Fan Yu casually sat down on the sofa and nodded. "It's nothing. Sleep a little longer whenever I can."
