Chapter 83
The group left Lianxiang Restaurant and arrived at a high-end teahouse club across the street, boasting a beautiful environment.
Led by a waitress in a cheongsam, they reached an antique-looking private tea room.
The bookshelves and furniture were made of mahogany, and the shelves were adorned with ancient jade artifacts, creating a full atmosphere.
There was a tea table in the middle of the room, with a woman in a cheongsam already preparing tea.
Each private room had a dedicated tea master responsible for brewing, allowing guests to simply enjoy the tea.
However, Yi Feng preferred not to have outsiders present for convenience in discussing matters.
“Miss, please, we’ll brew our own tea,” Yi Feng said with a smile.
The female tea master nodded and left.
Yi Feng took the main seat for brewing tea and said to Ning Fei Peng, “Brother Ning, you’ve always been the one to brew tea, but you’ve had quite a bit to drink tonight. How about I take over?”
Ning Feipeng, tipsy, supported his forehead with both hands, barely maintaining some sobriety, and nodded at the suggestion.
In his condition, he wouldn’t last long drinking tea, let alone brewing it.
“Brother Yi knows how to brew tea?” Feng Ze was surprised.
“Just a little, I learned a bit from Brother Ning,” Yi Feng replied modestly.
Yi Feng then skillfully handled the teapot, impressing everyone present with his technique.
Ning Feipeng was startled, “I taught you?”
Where did he learn this? I don’t even know how!
Feng Ze, recognizing Yi Feng’s proficient tea brewing skills, was astonished.
This is called a little knowledge?
He had been to many tea rooms but had never seen anyone outperform professional tea masters.
This was a first for him!
Yi Feng’s movements were efficient and graceful throughout the tea preparation process.
He first served a cup to Feng Ze, the highest-ranking individual present, as a sign of respect.
“Brother Yi’s tea brewing skills are truly exceptional!” Feng Ze exclaimed.
“Too kind, president Feng. Please, have some tea,” Yi Feng gestured, ready to serve the others next, saving himself for last.
Feng Ze tasted the tea, noting its difference from what he had previously experienced, suggesting it might be too light.
“Indeed, it’s a light raw Pu’erh, meant to help with sobriety. Too strong might have the opposite effect,” Yi Feng explained.
He then added a bit of honey to the hot water, infusing the tea with it, creating a honey Pu’erh tea for everyone.
Lan Caiyi, after tasting it, was pleasantly surprised by the enhanced flavor with the addition of honey.
“Honey tea helps speed up alcohol metabolism, so drinking more is beneficial,” Yi Feng also took a sip, finding the warm tea soothing.
The conversation continued until Ning Feipeng could no longer keep up, and Yi Feng arranged for him to be taken to a room to rest.
Now only Yi Feng, Feng Ze, and Lan Caiyi remained.
Yi Feng noticed the close interaction between Lan Caiyi and Feng Ze, interpreting their relationship with more certainty.
Affairs were common in the business community, with many successful middle-aged men seeking companionship outside their marriages.
Despite understanding their relationship, Yi Feng pretended not to notice.
“Feng Ze, I’ve instructed Secretary Lan. Just give me your list, and she’ll ensure the goods are delivered to your store within two days. Don’t worry,” Feng Ze assured.
Yi Feng expressed his gratitude, discussing his business ambitions and plans for expansion and consistency in service and pricing, emphasizing the importance of people in business.
Feng Ze admired Yi Feng’s vision, looking forward to the day Yi Feng’s chain stores would flourish.
After chatting until midnight, Feng Ze decided it was time to leave, praising the enjoyable conversation with Yi Feng.
Yi Feng escorted them out and watched them depart before returning inside.
Wang Tie joined Yi Feng, offering him a new pack of cigarettes, marking the fifth pack they had gone through that evening.
Despite the exhaustion and the alcohol and cigarettes, Yi Feng felt satisfied with the night’s achievements.
Encouraging Wang Tie’s potential, Yi Feng contemplated his next moves, deciding to send a gift to Secretary Lan the following day.
“A set of high-end skincare products,” Yi Feng revealed, planning to please both Secretary Lan and Feng Ze with this thoughtful gesture.
