Xie Feibai's home is located in Zilinyuan in the south of the city. The community is located in a unique European-style pedestrian street and has always been a well-known wealthy area. When the wealthy area was first developed based on this area, the housing price in Chengdu was only one thousand yuan per square meter. The earliest housing price here was already five thousand one square meter, the highest price in Chengdu. Now there are still houses that cost more than ten thousand yuan per square meter.
Of course, these are just the commercial residences that are well-known to everyone. Some properties are developed only for the rich, and the prices in private are even more outrageous. They have only ever existed in some high-end advertising magazines and media, and there were no sales offices set up at the door like in later generations.
Xie Feibai's family did not buy the house here. The house in Zilinyuan was one of the properties that Xie Qian "reserved a street" for him. Therefore, after their family moved to Chengdu, they lived here. This place is not far from the Provincial Investment Building in the city center, so it is relatively convenient for Xie Houming to travel, so he "reluctantly" stayed here.
After Chen Wenguang put Cheng Ran down and agreed to pick him up at a certain time, he saw Xie Feibai coming out of the door to greet him, so he drove away.
Xie Feibai waved at Cheng Ran and said, "Let's go buy some things first. We don't have enough wine at home." Then he led Cheng Ran to the winery next door.
There are lush green streets around Zilinyuan, with many European-style buildings and cafes everywhere. Consulates of various countries are nearby. In order to cater to the foreign immigrants nearby, there are also many high-end stores at this time. Even the current department stores are rare, and it has the temperament of a wealthy area.
The winery that Xie Feibai mentioned was just on a street outside. The owner of the shop was a little fat, wearing a suit vest and a small moustache. When he saw Xie Feibai coming, he greeted him with a smile and said that several batches of good stuff had arrived, including wines from Burgundy, Bianco di Sandi, and several Penfolds Eden Valley wines. He introduced them one by one. The owner was very energetic and seemed to have a lot in common with Xie Feibai. He said that Xie Feibai, my brother Zhang, would definitely give you the best price. As for the stuff, I'm sure you'd be qualified, but you'd better be careful and don't get addicted to alcohol from me, otherwise your mother would give me trouble.
Xie Feibai nodded, "Put it on the account, and you can ask my mom to settle it later. It hasn't been settled this month yet, right?"
"Don't worry about it, we'll talk about it when the time comes."
Xie Feibai discussed wine with the other party again. He became very interested in this. He would usually have a drink or two at home. Xie Houming would criticize him for white wine because of its high alcohol content. On the contrary, if he drank one or two glasses of red wine a day for health, his family would not say much to him.
So Xie Feibai learned to taste wine. Now he can say that he can taste the good and the bad. Sometimes he even pursues high-end wine. He often gets wine from the owner of this shop. Later he found out that this owner is also an acquaintance, a classmate of his mother Zhang Wei. It really is a small world. So Xie Feibai's family often takes care of the other party's business, and Zhang Wei comes to settle the bill every once in a while.
Xie Feibai first took the wine for dinner, and then, through the other party's introduction, he drew two bottles of good wine, one was port wine from Feiniaoyuan, and the other was Carignan from Spain. He said that these two bottles would not be put on the bill, and he would pay in cash directly and leave it with you first, so that it would be convenient for me to come and get them.
These two bottles of wine cost more than 3,000 yuan. Xie Feibai took out money from his pocket, paid the bill, and said to Cheng Ran with a smile, "Isn't this how you spend your money? You earn it yourself, so of course you can spend it better."
Cheng Ran frowned, "You haven't started to earn money yet, have you?" The second floor of Tianxing Dojo has just opened. Strictly speaking, Xie Feibai has not yet received any profit sharing. In addition, more than one million yuan was spent in the early stage of opening, of which Xie Feibai and Lu Sha also contributed 200,000 yuan. These were all their actual money. Now Xie Feibai has started to spend ahead of time.
"Business is booming. I'm going to treat myself. This is the beginning of me earning money by doing something for myself!"
Cheng Ran laughed, "You're such a spendthrift. For someone like you, the more money you get, the more high-end your consumption will be."
"I say... life is meant to be enjoyed. Enjoy beautiful things. Beautiful things have a price and value. Knowing this value makes us work hard to make money. I strongly disagree with the idea of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. In my opinion, only when you enjoy beautiful things will you have greater motivation to make money and have better things. Of course, I can't communicate with you like this. I'm a lazy person and it's easy for me to lose motivation. I can only rely on external stimulation to generate the motivation to make money," Xie Feibai turned around and pointed at the wine cabinet. "Old Zhang has some treasures of the store here. I'm planning to buy them. I'm afraid it will cost hundreds of thousands. It doesn't matter. Sooner or later, I, Xie Feibai, will buy them all for you."
"You kid, just like your father, you speak in a domineering way. Well, just because of what you said, your uncle Zhang will keep the treasure of the store for you. If your mother heard it, she would probably laugh her face off." The store owner laughed and took a bag to help Xie Feibai fill it with wine.
Xie Feibai turned around and punched Cheng Ran on the shoulder, "My uncle came back yesterday, and I didn't know before, but you knew it before me. I'm not his biological son."
When Xie Feibai called today to say Xie Qian was there, Cheng Ran said Xie Qian had told him a long time ago, which made Xie Feibai feel jealous. He felt like Cheng Ran, an outsider, had no sense of presence at home, and he was unhappy in all kinds of ways.
Fortunately, Xie Feibai had come to him today because they shared the same hatred and common enemy. Putting aside his displeasure for the time being, Xie Feibai put his hand to his mouth and said to Cheng Ran, "Let's discuss the key battle plan... My cousin is coming over today, so let's give her a warning and curb her arrogance, so we need to discuss it together later..."
Before he could finish his words, Cheng Ran suddenly saw a white wrist passing between him and Xie Feibai, then accurately grabbed Xie Feibai's ear and twisted it.
Xie Feibai's voice suddenly became very loud. Cheng Ran was also startled. He turned around and saw that they were now at the door of the store. A woman with wavy hair had come in from the door. The woman had a bookish look on her face, delicate makeup, and wore a pair of round-frame glasses. If he really had to describe her, Cheng Ran felt that she was probably like those mainstream interview shots, where the woman always faced experts and professors with a righteous face and a rich thirst for knowledge, was the first one in the row, raised her hand most actively, answered questions the fastest, and held the microphone and wanted to pass it under other people's chins.
But now this woman twisted Xie Feibai's ear as if he were a class enemy, her long face covered with coldness, "Who are you trying to intimidate?"
This... this is... the conspiracy was discovered and they were caught red-handed.
Xie Feibai finally escaped from the clutches of the devil. He stepped back, covering his red ears, and looked at his cousin in shock. "Wang Yulan, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly appear? Are you following us?"
"Do I have the time to follow you? I just came over..." Xie Feibai's cousin Wang Yulan pointed to the other end of the street. Cheng Ran looked over and saw a slender Volvo sports car parked on the side of the street. It should be Volvo's C70 series two-door sports car. At the turn of the century, there were actually quite a few strange cars coming in through various trade channels, but this kind of car was still extremely rare, which also reflected the personal taste of the owner.
"I found you here and looked at what you are doing. It's still so ridiculous." Wang Yulan folded her hands. She was actually 1.7 meters tall, which was considered very tall among girls, but she was still a head shorter than Xie Feibai, who was over 1.8 meters tall. However, the posture of folding her arms, wrapping her waist and supporting her legs at this time actually gave her a condescending attitude. Just by looking at her appearance, Cheng Ran could understand what kind of life Xie Feibai usually led in front of her.
"We're just here to buy some wine, what do you think!"
"I know what you guys, a bunch of bad friends, can do." Wang Yulan folded her hands. She was actually dressed very fashionably, wearing cropped pants, high heels, and a silk shirt. In short, she was very elegant, but the temperament conveyed a kind of oppression.
"Bad friends..." Cheng Ran's mouth twitched. It must be because she heard what Xie Feibai said to him just now, so she classified Cheng Ran as the kind of people Xie Feibai usually associated with. Naturally, she didn't give him a good face now.
"I'm going to park the car now. You go back and wait obediently. Your uncle will be here today, and there will be guests. Don't embarrass me."
After saying that, Wang Yulan drove over in an extremely powerful manner. Cheng Ran looked at the scene and thought that the battle had not even begun yet, and Xie Feibai was completely defeated by his cousin.
