Chapter 1530: Too much money and nowhere to spend it

Ye Chen wasn't being distant with Gu Yanzhong, he just felt that him suddenly giving himself a private jet was really too extravagant.

And this wasn't an ordinary small private jet worth tens of millions or one or two hundred million. This was a private jet modified from a Boeing 737 passenger plane.

The factory price of an ordinary Boeing 737 passenger plane is about 100 million US dollars, but this is just an ordinary passenger plane. For a private jet, an ordinary passenger plane is equivalent to a rough house, and the cost of modification and decoration for this rough house accounts for at least half of the total value.

Calculating this way, just this plane is worth around one billion RMB.

Receiving such a valuable gift for a birthday, Ye Chen was indeed a bit ashamed to accept it.

Seeing that he seemed a bit hesitant, Gu Yanzhong stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Chen'er, in my heart, you are like my son. You also have your own career now, and you often need to fly back and forth across the country or even around the world. Having your own private jet will be much more convenient for you."

Ye Chen said earnestly: "Uncle Gu, actually the Ye family also has spare private jets in Jin Ling. Generally speaking, it is enough for me to use. I really don't want you to be too extravagant."

Gu Yanzhong said with a very firm expression: "The Ye family's private jet is the Ye family's. The plane Uncle gives you is your own. Can the feeling of using your own things be the same as using other people's things? Besides, your relationship with the Ye family is not clear yet. What if you have a disagreement with your grandfather one day? At that time, using his plane, wouldn't you be a head shorter?"

Saying this, Gu Yanzhong added: "Besides, what else do you have to be polite with Uncle? It's just a plane, at most it's 1 billion. I am someone who has almost died once. It is very painful to have so much money and nowhere to spend it."

Lin Wanqiu on the side also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Chen'er, just accept it happily. Don't let your Uncle Gu be so old and still have to beg you to accept a birthday gift."

Hearing this, Ye Chen immediately realized that he was indeed a bit too distant.

The more valuable the gift, the more it represented the importance Uncle Gu and his wife placed on him. If he kept declining, it would hurt their feelings.

So he nodded immediately and said: "Thank you, Uncle Gu, thank you, Auntie Lin. From now on, I, Ye Chen, am also a person with a private jet!"

When Gu Yanzhong heard this, he laughed immediately, squeezed his shoulder with his big hand, and laughed: "Go! To the restaurant!"

Ye Chen invited Gu Yanzhong and his wife to sit in the back row of his BMW 760, then opened the passenger door for Gu Qiuyi, and before getting in the car, he instructed Chen Zekai: "Old Chen, let your car lead the way, let's go directly to Tianxiang Mansion now."

Ye Chen had already agreed with Hong Wu before that he was going to entertain guests at Tianxiang Mansion today, so the entire Tianxiang Mansion was not open to the public today.

Hong Wu also pushed aside all the things in his hands and rushed to Tianxiang Mansion early in the morning to supervise the work.

From the security work and service process of the entire Tianxiang Mansion, to the freshness of every dish and raw material prepared today, and whether every piece of tableware was cleaned, Hong Wu basically checked it more than once in advance.

When Chen Zekai led the way and brought Ye Chen to leave the airport, Chen Zekai had already informed Hong Wu of the news.

Hong Wu immediately asked all the service staff to line up in the parking lot at the entrance of Tianxiang Mansion to prepare for the welcome, and also ordered many younger brothers to guard both sides of the entrance, and required them not to let any idlers in.

After all, Gu Qiuyi, who was with Ye Chen, was one of the most popular stars in the country today. If the news that she was dining at Tianxiang Mansion was leaked, it would immediately make the gossip news. Hong Wu was extremely loyal to Ye Chen, naturally not wanting to

leave any hidden dangers for Ye Chen.

When the motorcade drove into the parking lot, Hong Wu led a group of waiters to wait at the door.

Ye Chen just parked the car, and he took the lead to step forward, first opened the two rear doors and the passenger door, and said politely to Gu Yanzhong and his wife and Gu Qiuyi: "Welcome three distinguished guests to Tianxiang Mansion!"

Then he opened the driver's door and said to Ye Chen: "Master Ye, the private room is ready, let's go in now."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "You have worked hard."

"Should be!"

Chen Zekai got out of the car at this time and said to Ye Chen: "Young Master, I will wait at the door, if you have anything, just order me at any time."

Ye Chen hurriedly said: "Why are you waiting at the door? Let Hong Wu arrange it, you two find a private room to sit and eat something, I will go over and have a drink with you in a while."

Hong Wu hurriedly said: "Okay Master Ye, leave it to me!"

Hearing this, Chen Zekai was really moved in his heart. No matter when, Ye Chen would think of him and Hong Wu, his subordinates, which was really much better than ordinary wealthy young masters!

So, he said respectfully: "Everything follows the Young Master's arrangement!"

Ye Chen nodded, and Hong Wu said: "Master Ye, please follow me first, you four!"

Subsequently, the four followed Hong Wu and walked into the main entrance of Tianxiang Mansion.

Gu Qiuyi remembered the cake and hurriedly said to Hong Wu: "Mr. Hong, there will be staff sending a customized cake in a while. Please arrange a suitable dining car and help push the cake to the private room later. This cake is very precious, so please be careful when arranging all this, and don't break the cake. Thank you!"

Hong Wu said without hesitation: "Miss Gu, you are polite, Hong Wu will definitely arrange it properly!"

Subsequently, Hong Wu guided everyone all the way to the diamond private room of Tianxiang Mansion. At this time, the private room had been cleaned extremely cleanly, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as spotless.

On the huge round table, eight cold dishes had been placed. These eight cold dishes were four meat and four vegetarian, and each dish was extremely exquisite.

And in the center of the round table, two bottles of collectible Moutai wine were placed, as well as two bottles of Romanee-Conti red wine worth hundreds of thousands.

There were four sets of exquisite tableware on the table. Next to each set of tableware, there was a golden word post, on which various information was written in very elegant brush calligraphy.

Hong Wu said to Ye Chen and the others: "I have arranged a menu in advance here. The serving order, materials, and characteristics of each dish are written on the list. The four distinguished guests can take a look and understand it. If you have any taboos or any other needs, you can tell me at any time!"

Gu Yanzhong picked up one of the posts and looked at it, sighing: "This small script is really beautiful! The paper is also very exquisite!"

Saying this, he put the post under his nose and smelled it, exclaiming: "This ink fragrance is very strong, it feels like it shouldn't be modern, right?"

Hong Wu couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Mr. Gu really has a discerning eye. This calligraphy was written by a calligraphy master in our Jin Ling, using Hui ink made in the first year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty."

Gu Yanzhong couldn't help but praise: "Boss Hong does things so meticulously and exquisitely. I haven't seen such good service even in Yan Jing!"

Hong Wu hurriedly said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Gu, my Tianxiang Mansion can't do this at all. But today, Master Ye told me in advance to entertain distinguished guests, so Hong did put in more thought..."

Gu Yanzhong gave a thumbs up and laughed: "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Hong!"

Hong Wu said respectfully: "Where, it's all what I should do!"

After saying this, he said to Ye Chen: "Master Ye, Hong will not delay you and your distinguished guests from dining here. I will send the cake over according to Miss Gu's request when it arrives. If you have any needs, call me at any time!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said to Hong Wu: "Hong Wu, you order people to prepare three cups of pure water and send them over." ===== CHAPTER 1531 =====
