Chapter 221: The Feast Before Tomorrow's Storm!

Lu Qingjun clapped his hands excitedly, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Hearing his brother's words, he seemed to see an even brighter future.

"Right, we must celebrate!" His voice carried uncontainable excitement.

"Second brother, where shall we celebrate? That's two hundred million, what a great harvest!"

"The best restaurant on Hong Kong Island, I want to try all the delicacies."

"Two hundred million, I could never spend it all in this lifetime! This feeling is awesome!"

Ye Ning also got excited, her eyes flashing with anticipation. "Boss, are we really going to the top restaurant on Hong Kong Island to celebrate?"

"But with today's earnings, this amount is nothing at all."

Wang Yuyun and Li Zhi'an also got excited.

Following a boss like this, they can not only make big money but also enjoy top-tier treatment, a feeling that fills them with anticipation for the future.

Lu Qingshan glanced at his watch; it was already five p. m.

The sunset outside had already set in the west, and Hong Kong Island's nightlife was about to begin.

Neon lights began to flicker, enveloping the entire financial district in a dazzling glow.

"Ye Ning, go make the arrangements," Lu Qingshan said, his voice filled with heartfelt excitement.

"Tonight we have a team dinner. Choose the best restaurant on Hong Kong Island; let's go to Dragon View Pavilion."

"Don't worry about the price; order whatever you want. The earnings we made today make spending a few ten-thousands on a good meal completely worth it."

"Moreover, this might be the last time we have such a relaxed dinner. After tomorrow's launch event, our lives could change dramatically."

Ye Ning instantly stood up, her eyes flashing with excitement. Her voice trembled with uncontainable enthusiasm.

"Alright, boss! I'll arrange it right away!"

"Dragon View Pavilion is the most upscale Cantonese restaurant on Hong Kong Island, a three‑star Michelin venue. A meal for a few people costs at least several ten‑thousands of dollars."

Wang Yuyun and Li Zhi'an also got excited. They had never been to such a top‑tier restaurant, and today they finally had a chance to glimpse a truly luxurious life.

"Boss, are we really going to Dragon View Pavilion?" Wang Yuyun's voice carried a hint of disbelief.

"That's the most upscale restaurant on Hong Kong Island; we normally wouldn't even dare to imagine it."

Li Zhi'an pushed his glasses up, his eyes flashing with anticipation. "Following the boss, we truly have taken off."

"Today we not only witnessed what real financial maneuvering is, but also enjoyed top‑tier treatment."

A Qiang and several other bodyguards also smiled. The boss has become rich, so their compensation will naturally rise. This feeling fills them with anticipation for the future.

Lu Qingshan walked to the window, watching the sky darken outside. Hong Kong Island's nightscape began to appear, countless lights flickering like stars.

The entire financial district glittered, and on the bustling streets, people were still hustling for a living...

In Dragon View Pavilion's private room, a crystal chandelier cast warm light; a room meant for twenty held only nine of them, making it especially spacious and luxurious.

The rose‑wood round table was laden with exquisite Cantonese dishes, each plate as beautiful as a work of art.

Lu Qingjun and Li Zhi'an held the menu, their eyes nearly bulging.

"My god, this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is 8,800?" Li Zhi'an adjusted his glasses, his voice trembling.

"And this lobster costs over three thousand each." Lu Qingjun swallowed, "Second brother, are we really ordering anything we like?"

Lu Qingshan leaned back in his chair, feeling elated.

We earned two hundred million HKD today; what's this amount compared to that?

"Order whatever you want; today we are here to celebrate."

Hearing that, Lu Qingjun instantly perked up.

He and Li Zhi'an began scanning the menu for the most expensive dishes, their discussion heating up.

"This golden broth fish maw certainly doesn't sound cheap."

"And this poached chicken, made with Qingyuan chicken, must be fragrant."

"Order this truffle fried rice; a single serving costs 1,200."

Ye Ning watched from the side, silently gasping. Though she earned well as a trader and had become a multi‑millionaire following Lu Qingshan, this level of luxury spending was still her first encounter.

Wang Yuyun and Li Zhi'an were even more thrilled. How could they ever have imagined dining in a place like this?

The head chef walked into the private room himself, followed by two assistants. Dressed in a pristine white chef's coat, his demeanor was elegant, clearly world‑experienced.

"Honored guests, I am Chef Chen of Dragon View Pavilion. Let me introduce today's dishes."

Chef Chen began to introduce each dish's origin and preparation technique one by one.

This treatment felt fresh to everyone present; after all, although they had survived two stock wars and become several multi‑millionaires, it was their first time tasting Dragon View Pavilion's top‑tier Cantonese cuisine.

"For this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, we use thirty‑year‑old aged Huadiao wine, combined with over a dozen precious ingredients; the sole braising takes eight hours."

"This lobster was air‑freighted from Australia early this morning, guaranteed fresh."

Listening to Chef Chen's introduction, everyone felt the meal was worth it.

Lu Qingshan glanced at the wine cabinet, pointing at the row of reds, "Open a few fine bottles; today we're in high spirits."

The waiter approached respectfully, "Sir, how about these three 1947 Lafite bottles?"

1947 Lafite? Lu Qingjun's eyes widened at the year. It's a legendary vintage, costing several tens of thousands per bottle.

"Open three bottles?" Li Zhi'an's voice trembled.

Lu Qingshan nodded, "Go ahead, today is worth celebrating."

The waiter carefully uncorked the wine, and the rich aroma instantly filled the private room, intoxicating everyone with the scent of top‑grade red wine.

The dishes arrived one after another, each more exquisitely beautiful than the last.

Chef Chen personally explained the preparation of each dish; this level of service left everyone stunned.

"For this golden broth fish maw, we simmered old chicken, ham, and dried scallops for twelve hours; the fish maw is top‑grade Nan Fei product."

"This poached chicken uses Qingyuan free‑range chicken, tender and flavorful, served with our special dipping sauce."

Everyone started tasting; every bite was a pleasure. The flavor of this top‑notch Cantonese cuisine truly cannot be matched by ordinary restaurants.

Lu Qingjun picked up a piece of fish maw, his eyes lighting up: "This taste is fantastic, completely free of fishiness, and the texture is springy."

Li Zhi'an also kept nodding: "The flavor of this poached chicken is amazing, the meat is so tender, and the dipping sauce is especially fragrant."

Ye Ning tasted the dishes elegantly, secretly sighing at the benefits of following Lu Qingshan. Not only could she witness top‑tier financial maneuvers, but she could also enjoy this luxurious lifestyle.

Wang Yuyun was even more excited: "Boss, how much will this meal cost?"

Lu Qingshan raised his wine glass and laughed: "No matter how much it costs, today is worth it. We've created a miracle today, earning two hundred million Hong Kong dollars! Thank you all for your efforts!"

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, and the private room filled with laughter and cheer.

A Qiang and several bodyguards sat nearby, not touching a drop of alcohol.

Their duty is to protect the boss's safety; even in such an occasion they cannot let their guard down.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone was a bit tipsy, but Lu Qingshan's thoughts had already drifted to tomorrow's press conference.

That will be a turning point; he aims to establish his true standing in Hong Kong Island's financial circle.

Today's two‑hundred‑million profit is just the beginning; the real show is still to come.

"Boss, have you really decided what to say at tomorrow's press conference?" Ye Ning asked, a little worried.

Lu Qingshan smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out tomorrow. I guarantee it will astonish everyone."

This meal lasted a full three hours, and the final bill left even the waiter a bit nervous.

But for Lu Qingshan, who earned two hundred million today, this amount of money is nothing at all.

At ten o'clock, A Qiang drove everyone back to the Hilton Hotel. The others returned to their rooms tipsy to rest, but Lu Qingshan remained completely sober.

He stood by the floor‑to‑ceiling window of the room, looking down at Hong Kong Island's night sky. Neon lights flickered, traffic flowed incessantly—this city never sleeps.

For tomorrow's press conference, he had already figured out what he would say.

That will reshape the market and also secure his true standing in Hong Kong Island's financial circle.

This public appearance—what kind of stir will it cause?

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan's lips curled into a faint smile.

Are the financial giants of Hong Kong Island ready to welcome the impact?
