Chapter 3363: Abundant Fortune and Prosperity

Tawana's motorcade pulled to a stop in front of Tianxiang Mansion, and several bodyguards got out to surround the vehicle she was riding in on both sides.

A staff member got out of the passenger seat, opened the rear door, and Tawana and Trevor stepped out of the car one after another, then walked toward the main entrance of Tianxiang Mansion.

The media reporters who had followed quickly got out of their cars to take photos, and some reporters even rushed to the front of the bodyguards, asking: "Miss Svetlana, may I ask why you chose Tianxiang Mansion as your first stop upon arriving in Jin Ling? Is it because you've heard of Jin Ling's cuisine?"

Tawana smiled and said: "That's right, even before I came to China, I had heard people talk about this place, so as soon as I got off the plane, I came straight here to try it."

At that moment, Hong Wu was serving Ye Chen and Xiao Churan in the Diamond Private Room, and a staff member said over the walkie-talkie: "Master Wu, you... you'd better come down quickly, a big star has come to our restaurant!"

Hong Wu was astonished and looked at Ye Chen: "Master Ye, are these your friends?"

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded and said with a smile: "It's more appropriate to call them clients, go greet them."

Hong Wu hurriedly said: "All right, Master Ye, please wait a moment, I'll go greet them right away!"

Xiao Churan looked shocked and asked: "Husband... could it be that Tawana has come?"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "That's right, it's her."

Xiao Churan was both surprised and delighted: "She... she just got off the plane? I saw the news push saying her first stop should be Buckingham Palace, so how did she end up here?"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Her team hired me as the feng shui consultant for her twenty performances, and the contract amount is quite substantial. As the host, treating her to a meal is just proper courtesy."

Xiao Churan widened her eyes: "Ah? Her team wants to hire you as a feng shui consultant?! Do these Americans, born and raised in the U. S., even believe in these things?"

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Before, they didn't really believe in it, but now they do. Last time in Japan, didn't I help Mr. Mitsui with feng shui? They were also quite convinced by it."

Xiao Churan asked him nervously: "So, are we going to have dinner with Tawana later?"

"Yes." Ye Chen smiled: "Later, I'll have dinner with her and her boyfriend, and it will also be a good chance for her to promote Tianxiang Mansion to Master Wu."

Xiao Chuan lightly nodded and asked: "Then... should we be able to take a commemorative photo?"

"Of course."

……

When Hong Wu came down, Tawana was at the entrance accepting a brief interview from reporters.

After coming out of the airport, she had not accepted any interviews, only answering one question. Originally, the media reporters had wanted to interview her at Buckingham Palace, but they didn't expect the interview location to be changed to Tianxiang Mansion.

After answering a few questions from the reporters, Hong Wu also came out from inside to greet her and invited Tawana to proceed to the Diamond Private Room.

Tawana said to the reporters: "Sorry, today's interview ends here. My team will arrange a time for an exclusive interview later, and at that time, I will invite you all to attend."

Having said that, she and Trevor turned and followed Hong Wu into Tianxiang Mansion.

The staff politely refused the media reporters' request to enter, but these reporters did not leave; instead, even more media reporters and fans who had gotten the news rushed to Tianxiang Mansion.

For a time, Tianxiang Mansion also topped the social media hot search list, as people wondered what made this restaurant special enough that Tawana would rush to try it right after getting off the plane.

Hong Wu did not yet know that boundless wealth had already begun to pour down upon him. He brought Tawana and Trevor to the Diamond Private Room and then said to Ye Chen and Xiao Churan: "Master Ye, Madam Ye, I have brought the honored guests upstairs. If you need anything, just call me anytime."

Seeing Ye Chen, Tawana could not hide her excitement in her eyes and said very politely: "Hello, Mr. Ye, and Madam Ye, I am very happy to see you again!"

Trevor also hurried forward and said respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Ye, hello, Madam Ye!"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled: "Please sit down. Today, I will do my utmost as a host, and I invite you to try our Jin Ling specialties."

As he spoke, he said to Hong Wu: "Hong Wu, now that Miss Svetlana has graced your restaurant, tomorrow your restaurant will become the most famous in all of China. If I recall correctly, the market value of Haidilao Hot Pot once approached one hundred billion Hong Kong dollars at its peak. If you can turn your Tianxiang Mansion into a nationwide or even global chain, you might just have the chance to create your own publicly listed company."

Hong Wu was stunned and asked him: "Master Ye, do you mean I should open branch stores?"

"Yes." Ye Chen said: "Tomorrow, this place will become a hotspot for fans to check in, and this popularity won't fade anytime soon. You must seize this opportunity, open branch stores, and let your Tianxiang Mansion spread across the country."

Hong Wu had never before thought of making Tianxiang Mansion big and strong, because as a person of the martial world, people in the martial world like to open restaurants because they can entertain all kinds of martial friends here.

However, he himself paid more attention to food, so he had made Tianxiang Mansion into a truly delicious restaurant.

Even so, he had never considered expanding operations.

But Ye Chen's words made him feel as if he had suddenly opened a new world.

If he could truly create a nationally renowned food and beverage brand, how much money he could earn is beside the point; just this sense of achievement alone is probably something he could never experience while lingering in Jin Ling city.

His heart surged with excitement, and he couldn't help but ask Ye Chen: "But could you give me some advice, tell me what I should do? To be honest, I opened Tianxiang Mansion just treating it as a small business, and I really don't know how to make it big and strong."

Ye Chen smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about this. Later, we'll find some time to talk properly."

Hong Wu is my trusted confidant, and during this time following me, he has been absolutely loyal. In the matter of refining elixirs, I have never been stingy with him. Now, helping him get his business off the ground is naturally no problem.

Earlier, I helped Hong Wu secure the construction fund for the dog farm, which has already exceeded one hundred million U. S. dollars. Even if the dog farm were renovated, rebuilt, or even expanded, it would be impossible to use all that money. He only needs to take out half of it, and he can achieve the first phase of expansion for Tianxiang Mansion.

But I cannot say this in front of my wife, after all, in front of my wife, I am merely a feng shui master.

So I reminded Hong Wu to have a private chat when he has time.

Hong Wu naturally understood, his heart surging with excitement, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you for your guidance, Master Ye. Whenever you have time, I will humbly come to seek your advice."

"Tomorrow." Ye Chen said: "Tomorrow we'll find some time to talk."

"Good!" Hong Wu nodded heavily and said respectfully: "Then Hong Wu will not disturb you and Madam Ye, as well as the two honored guests, during your meal."

Hong Wu left the private room, leaving only Ye Chen and his wife, as well as Tawana and Trevor, this young couple, inside.

Seeing Tawana still gazing at Ye Chen with undisguised eagerness, Trevor intentionally said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, I want to share some good news with you! I am preparing to propose to Tawana!"
