"President Ai, if you like, you can drop by more often, and if you want, you can even move in."
Ai Shengnan glanced at Gu Bai with a smile, then at the group of girls, teasingly saying, "President Gu, aren't you afraid these ladies will get jealous?"
"They won't get jealous, because for this kind of house, as long as I want, I can arrange a room for each of them."
Gu Bai's tone was indifferent, as if such a lavish house was nothing in his eyes.
Ai Shengnan knew, Gu Bai was not exaggerating.
Since YW was acquired by Gu Bai, she had a more comprehensive understanding of his financial power.
Initially, she thought the apparent strength of the Black Swan Group was already terrifying, but until now Ai Shengnan only realized, it's not the Black Swan Group that's terrifying, it's Gu Bai.
This massive entertainment group was entirely funded and established by Gu Bai alone.
Although the Sea View No.1 villa seemed out of reach for most, a single one is just 160 million, and Ai Shengnan believed that even ten of them wouldn't make Gu Bai frown given his wealth.
"President Gu is indeed wealthy."
But now the higher Gu Bai's wealth, the greater the benefits for her.
With Gu Bai backing her, Ai Shengnan believed YW's development would far surpass the past.
After arranging for the women to be seated.
Chef Tan Shiye from the Tang Pavilion came up with his assistant team.
"President Gu, the meal is ready. Do you need everything to be served now?"
Gu Bai had dined at the Tang Pavilion many times and was considered a top VIP there and had dealt with Tan Shiye as well. Hearing Tan Shiye's respectful tone, Gu Bai smiled and said, "Then I must trouble Chef Tan."
"President Gu, you're too kind."
Having said that, Tan Shiye clapped his hands, and the assistants began to get busy.
Before long, the assistants presented various foods in front of Gu Bai.
Tan Shiye, with his hands crossed below his belly, introduced each dish to Gu Bai as it was served.
"Based on the ingredients prepared by President Gu, I've created dishes in both Chinese and Western styles, with Chinese as the main course, and Western as supplementary. I hope President Gu will be satisfied."
"This is a black vinegar tuna salad, made with bluefin tuna, one of the most precious fish ingredients, mixed with fresh vegetables drizzled with black vinegar to make a salad, perfect for an appetizer."
Afterward, it was some very precious Chinese cuisine ingredients.
Things like Jade Dragon Tendon, Coiled Dragon Dish, and Mountain River Flavor Chicken, which are top cuisines that even if one has the ingredients, only a Michelin-star chef like Tan Shiye can make.
After the luxurious Chinese dishes, came the seafood.
Things like Emperor Crab, Australian Lobster, Abalone, were served one after another, soon filling up the originally empty table with these exquisite dishes, almost running out of space.
Tan Shiye said, "According to the ingredients you prepared, we could actually prepare another table, but time might be a little tight. If President Gu needs, I can continue to prepare more dishes."
Gu Bai waved with a smile and said, "Chef Tan, you're too kind, I'm already very satisfied, even just tasting each dish is enough."
"As long as President Gu is satisfied."
"Chef Tan, would you like to sit and have a bite with us?"
Gu Bai courteously invited Tan Shiye.
"I wouldn't dare, having President Gu satisfied is the greatest pursuit for Tang Pavilion."
After exchanging a few polite words with a smile, Tan Shiye took his leave, "If there's nothing else, we won't delay your meal, President Gu, as we at Tang Pavilion are also quite busy tonight, we'll be heading back first."
"Then we won't hold up Chef Tan's work."
Gu Bai did not give Tan Shiye any kind of envelope or tip, his remuneration will be handled by the management team, and he would just mention to increase it slightly.
"Wish President Gu and the ladies an enjoyable meal."
With that, Tan Shiye led his assistant team away.
................
"Alright, don't just stand there, dig in."
Once Tan Shiye left, only Gu Bai and the group of girls remained in the room.
"President Gu, this meal mustn't be cheap, right?"
Ai Shengnan looked at the table full of dazzling dishes, smiling at Gu Bai.
She had also visited the Tang Pavilion many times and naturally had been personally attended to by Tan Shiye, but never had she experienced something like Gu Bai, calling the head chef home to prepare a meal.
Apart from the top ingredients, just the wines placed next to them were invaluable.
They had already decanted red wine, fine foreign spirits, and domestic liquors.
Ai Shengnan could be certain that such a dinner would cost no less than seven figures.
"All arranged by a private team, I don't know the exact cost either, but as long as everyone is happy, spending some money doesn't matter. And you know, in such private settings, you can just call me by my name, President Gu is too formal, I don't like it."
Gu Bai's tone was very laid-back.
After saying that, Gu Bai took a bottle of champagne from the nearby wine cabinet.
With a pop, white smoke rose from the champagne bottle, and Gu Bai laughed, "Today is a happy day, let's start with a bottle of champagne to set the mood."
During the meal that followed, although the girls had some underlying disagreements, in front of Gu Bai, they appeared harmonious.
Gu Bai was also pleased with this scene, he didn't need the girls to be overly harmonious, just maintaining a superficial harmony was enough.
.........
After finishing the meal, the girls stayed in the living room to watch the New Year's Eve gala, while Gu Bai went to the rooftop garden, gazing at the bustling night scene of Shanghai.
