CHAPTER 11

Tongfu Yazhu, the most famous high-end private restaurant in Fuzhou.

The Jinjiang River runs from west to east, dividing Fu City into two parts, with a small island in the middle. Tongfu Yazhu is located on the island.

A membership system is implemented here, and reservations must be made in advance for dining. It is said that the minimum per capita consumption for each meal is more than 20,000 yuan, making it an absolutely high-end consumption place.

Xu Fuhai had only heard of it before. Although he had lived here for 16 years, he had never eaten here once. This was the first time. Exit the transcoding page, please download the app Aiyue Novels to read the latest chapters.

Lin Mixue drove the Maybach and took him to the small pier leading to the island in the middle of the lake, where a special staff member was waiting. After Xu Fuhai revealed his identity, the other party politely invited him to board a special small ferry.

Seeing Lin Mixue's somewhat eager expression, Xu Fuhai patted her arm and said, "This time I have business, I will bring you here to eat next time I have a chance. I heard that the hairy crabs here are very good.

"Well, it's okay, Lao Xu, you go and do your work. I'll come pick you up after two o'clock. I also have to go to the company to pack up some personal things, and then take the things I bought this morning home." Lin Mixue said with a smile.

"Okay, get ready. We'll go to the imperial capital to see Ranran tomorrow." Xu Fuhai instructed.

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare first. If you need anything, just tell me directly." Lin Mixue said.

Xu Fuhai nodded, turned around and got on the ferry.

The scenery by the river was beautiful, but Xu Fuhai had no intention of appreciating it. He was wondering who was trying to investigate him, and felt uneasy.

More than ten minutes later, the ferry arrived at the island in the middle of the lake. Xu Fuhai got off the boat and walked forward under the guidance of the staff.

The island is covered with luxuriant flowers and trees, and dotted with pavilions and towers of unique shapes, which have a unique charm of the Jiangnan water town. The gentle breeze from the river makes Xu Fuhai feel relaxed and happy, and his mind gradually calms down.

After walking along the winding bluestone path for a while, we came to a garden with blue walls, glazed tile roofs, and a vermilion gate in front of us, which was now wide open. Green bamboos could be vaguely seen inside the gate, giving it a Suzhou-style garden feel.

Not far into the garden, we came to an exquisite courtyard. At the gate, a slightly plump middle-aged man wearing a white shirt, gold-rimmed glasses, was waiting there. Behind him stood two female employees in bank uniforms.

Seeing Xu Fuhai coming, the middle-aged man took the initiative to greet him with a warm smile on his face.

"Hello, is this Mr. Xu? I am Li Changlin, the president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Fuzhou Branch."

Seeing Li Changlin extending his hand, Xu Fuhai shook it naturally.

"Hello, President Li. Nice to meet you."

Xu Fuhai's performance was neither humble nor overbearing, and was extremely natural. Although the man in front of him was the head of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, one of the four major banks, in Fuzhou City, he would never have had any contact with Xu Fuhai before, but now he has a net worth of tens of millions. As the saying goes, money is a man's courage. With strong capital as a backing, he will naturally not lose out in momentum when facing Li Changlin.

The two men exchanged a few words at the door, and Li Changlin warmly invited Xu Fuhai into the private room.

The private room was filled with ancient Zen atmosphere, making people feel very comfortable. After the four people sat down as host and guest, Li Changlin told the waiter to start serving the dishes, and then started chatting with Xu Fuhai.

Li Changlin was very skillful in the conversation. He did not bring up the account right from the start. Instead, he talked to him about some interesting stories in Fu City, which made Xu Fuhai feel very comfortable.

Two female employees wearing ICBC uniforms, one older, sat next to Li Changlin, and the other young woman who looked to be in her twenties, sat on Xu Fuhai's right.

When Xu Fuhai and Li Changlin were chatting, she just listened there quietly, and from time to time helped Xu Fuhai pour water and tidy up the tableware.

After a while, the dishes were served and Li Changlin asked Xu Fuhai if he wanted to drink some wine.

Xu Fuhai looked at the drinks on the dining car nearby. There were Maotai, Wuliangye and the local Fu Kang Daqu Collection. As for red wine, he didn't know much about it and didn't drink much.

"Let's drink Wuliangye. I'm more used to the strong-flavored type." Xu Fuhai didn't hesitate and ordered directly.

He had few opportunities to drink high-end liquor worth one or two thousand yuan before, but now it all depends on his mood. Xu Fuhai used to drink a little, but he was not greedy, at most he would drink 400 to 500 grams, and when he was at home he usually drank 200 grams.

Hearing Xu Fuhai's words, the young female employee next to him immediately stood up to get the wine, poured it for Xu Fuhai and Li Changlin, and poured some boiled water into her own glass.

"Hey, Xiaojie, Mr. Xu is a VIP guest of our bank. How can you serve water to a guest? Change it to white wine!" Li Changlin frowned and said unhappily when he saw that his female employee actually poured water.

"President, I can't drink much. How about I drink some red wine?" Hearing the president's words, the young woman quickly declined with a smile.

"No, how can we have red wine? It's too disrespectful to the customers. Let's change to white wine. You don't have to go to the bank in the afternoon. I'll approve your leave!" Li Changlin said in an unquestionable tone.

"It's okay, Li Xing. If the lady can't drink, don't force her." Xu Fuhai said with a smile.

"Mr. Xu, don't worry, I won't let her drink too much. I know Xiaobai's alcohol tolerance. I know you are kind to women, but you may not be able to drink more than her!" Li Changlin laughed.

Since Li Changlin said so, Xu Fuhai naturally didn't say much, and he saw that the young woman next to him had replaced the water in her glass with white wine.

In the past, when he was at work, he often encountered situations where leaders asked female colleagues to drink at drinking parties. To be honest, Xu Fuhai was a little uncomfortable with it. However, he was not familiar with the other party at the moment, so it was naturally inconvenient to say anything.

Exquisite special dishes were served one by one, and Li Changlin also picked up his wine glass.

"Boss Xu, let me formally introduce you. This is Niu Li, the office director of our bank. The beautiful lady next to you is Bai Jie, an employee of the key account department. Come on, let's toast to Boss Xu and celebrate our acquaintance!"

Xu Fuhai picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Li Changlin with a smile, and then drank it all in one gulp.

This small wine glass is specially used for drinking liquor. A cup costs only two cents. If you drink a mild liquor like Wuliangye, there will be no pressure to finish it in one gulp.

"Haha, Mr. Xu is such a straightforward person. Xiaojie will pour some wine for Mr. Xu!" Seeing Xu Fuhai finish the wine in the glass in one gulp, Li Changlin also drank it happily and said with a smile.

"Come, Mr. Xu, try the local specialty hairy crabs. People all over the country say that Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs are delicious, but I have to say that they are not necessarily as good as those in Fuzhou."

Bai Jie, who was beside him, diligently took a hairy crab for Xu Fuhai, peeled open the shell using the traditional eight-step crab cooking method, and placed the crab meat on the plate in front of Xu Fuhai.

"Mr. Xu, please try it." Bai Jie said gently.

Xu Fuhai turned around and nodded to her with a smile, while taking a closer look at her.

A delicate oval face with fine facial features is very attractive. At first glance, she is not particularly stunning, and gives the impression of a housewife, but the more you look at her, the more attractive she becomes, especially her beautiful phoenix eyes that always overflow with a faint smile and a hint of charm.

She has a petite figure, but she is thin where she should be thin, and straight where she should be straight.

The two people were close to each other, and Xu Fuhai smelled a faint scent of perfume coming from her. He didn't know what brand it was, but the smell made him feel a little lustful.

Enjoying the attentive service of the beautiful young woman, drinking high-end liquor, tasting delicious dishes costing thousands of yuan a plate, and chatting and laughing with the head of a group from the prefecture-level city, this was the most comfortable meal Xu Fuhai had ever had since he was a child.

Although I have participated in dinner parties hosted by companies and friends before, I had very few opportunities to be invited as the main character, and the level of the party was nothing compared to the one in front of me.

This banquet opened a new door for him and presented a wonderful corner of upper society to him.

After three rounds of drinks, President Li said to Niu Li and Bai Jie, "You two should go out for a while."

Knowing that the president had something important to say to Xu Fuhai, the two men quickly stood up and walked out.

Li Changlin and Xu Fuhai were the only two people left in the huge private room.

"Mr. Xu, there are some things that I couldn't talk about over the phone before because they involve some of your and your family's privacy, so I asked you to come here."

Hearing Li Changlin getting to the point, Xu Fuhai nodded and listened attentively.

"Mr. Xu, do you know who commissioned Zhongdao Law Firm to investigate your account status?" Li Changlin asked.

Xu Fuhai shook his head and asked doubtfully: "I don't know, what's wrong with my account?"

"No, no, no, Mr. Xu, there is no problem with your account. It is completely normal. Although a large amount of overseas funds was transferred in yesterday, the data from our bank's back-end system shows that this amount of funds is completely legal and formal. And because the amount you transferred in at one time exceeded the standard line of 50 million yuan, you have now been automatically upgraded to our bank's distinguished VIP customer. I brought Bai Jie from the VIP customer department here today to connect with you on some business matters so that we can provide you with better services."

Listening to Li Changlin's explanation, Xu Fuhai nodded, and most of his worries were gone.

As long as the source of the money is not an issue, there is nothing to worry about.

"This morning, Sun Lin, a lawyer from Zhongdao Law Firm, came to check your recent transaction records, and the client is..."

At this point, Li Changlin paused, glanced at Xu Fuhai, and seeing that he was listening carefully, he slowly said, "It's your father-in-law Zhou Linsheng."

"Is it him?" After hearing Li Changlin's words, the little bit of worry that Xu Fuhai had left suddenly disappeared, revealing an expression of realization.

"Yes, according to your current account level, except for you and some special departments of the country, no one else has the authority to investigate your account status. We could have refused directly, but because it involves your family privacy, we contacted you." Li Changlin explained.

"There is no such thing as privacy." Xu Fuhai said with a hint of mockery on his lips. After Zhou Na found out that he had bought a property worth 30 million, she hadn't come to make trouble until now. He thought Zhou Na had changed her personality, but he didn't expect that there was an expert behind the scenes directing her.

"President Li, this is what happened..." Xu Fuhai thought for a moment and then talked about himself and Zhou Na.
