Ling Zhenfei sat down next to Xu Yuan again, and Xu Yuan filled up Ling Zhenfei's glass, and the two of them clinked glasses first.

Xu Yuan enjoys drinking; every meal he must have a bit. But due to work restrictions, he can't drink too much. However, today is special, so he drank quite a bit.

It's evident that Xu Yuan was already slightly tipsy, and his speech was a bit slurred.

"Xiao Ling, I'm really happy. Eating your food and drinking with you today, it's great, so comfortable. This is the most enjoyable meal I've had in years."

"If you like it, eat a bit more," said Ling Zhenfei.

"No, no, we need to drink more. Look at Si Ma Gang, he's good at writing but can't hold his liquor," Xu Yuan said, pointing at Si Ma Gang.

Si Ma Gang and Han Ge gestured to Ling Zhenfei on the side, meaning to persuade Xu Yuan not to drink any more.

Xu Yuan is known for his temper at the filming site, so nobody dared to strongly persuade him—only Ling Zhenfei could do it.

Ling Zhenfei snatched Xu Yuan's wine glass and said, "Director Xu, why drink this lousy wine? Is it even fit for people? Stop drinking. In a few days, the wine brewed at our Xishan Manor will be ready. I'll bring it to you then."

"What? Your Xishan Manor's own brewed wine—is it as delicious as your food?" Xu Yuan asked excitedly.

"Absolutely. That's high-quality wine, tasty without getting you drunk. So, we won't drink today; next time, I'll bring the wine for us to enjoy properly," Ling Zhenfei said earnestly.

Xu Yuan was very happy, "Alright, brother, that's the plan. If you don't come to find me, don't call yourself my brother."

After comforting Xu Yuan, who indeed had enough to drink, Si Ma Gang and others bid farewell. Apparently, they had to attend some kind of conference tonight and couldn't delay.

Ling Zhenfei urged them to rest quickly and then saw them off to the door.

Guoguo walked beside Ling Zhenfei and whispered in his ear, "Brother, I'm leaving first. I'll find you when I get a chance."

Ling Zhenfei replied, "Work is important. When you become successful, there will be plenty of opportunities. Right now, you must endure the hard times."

"Got it, brother, but I really miss you."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I miss you too, but now is not the time. You've already gained a little fame. Don't throw away all your efforts. Take the elixir I gave you on time; appearance is the fundamental guarantee in the entertainment industry."

"Understood, brother, I'm leaving." Guoguo caught up with the crowd and got into a car outside.

After saying goodbye, the car started and left Xi Shan Restaurant, heading into the distance.

By this time, it was already late, and the guests were gradually leaving one by one. Bai Ling also saw off a group from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

The guests at the restaurant also left one after another, but there were still quite a few wanting to get membership cards.

Bai Ling asked Ling Zhenfei, "These friends are all nice. The deputy director asked me to warn you to beware of people from the International Hospital causing trouble."

Ling Zhenfei replied, "Are they worried that our Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital will overshadow the International Hospital, and they'll retaliate against me?"

"Exactly. We've seen the International Hospital's lack of restraint before, so it's best to be cautious. I even suspect those Street Racing Gangsters are instigated by the International Hospital. It's just a shame you didn't find out," Bai Ling analyzed.

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "If they want to play, then let them. I've never been afraid of anyone."

"Why do some people avoid the right path and prefer such despicable methods?" Bai Ling said, puzzled.

"There's no choice, the world has all kinds of people; who knows who will turn up. We just need to focus on being our best selves."

Ling Zhenfei sees the world very clearly. Once impoverished and downtrodden, now succeeding, yet one must always maintain innocence.

Xu Tao and his wife were also leaving. They seemed truly satisfied with the food and environment at Xi Shan Restaurant, singing high praises.

"Brother Ling, we're going to produce a talk show soon. If I invite you, don't refuse, okay?" Xu Tao proposed to Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei paused and said, "Brother Xu, that's really difficult for me. I'm not in the entertainment industry; are you trying to pull me in?"

Xu Tao said, "You're mistaken. My talk show isn't about interviewing entertainment stars. There's already too many shows like that and nobody watches them anymore.

Just search online for star news, no need for interviews. This program interviews elites from various fields.

It's about interviewing legendary figures, and you are certainly a legend online—a legend that can't be more legendary. You're perfect for my show."

"Brother Xu, you've praised me so much; I'm embarrassed to hear it," Ling Zhenfei laughed.

Then Wu Wenli said, "Truly, to ordinary people, that's how you seem. Besides, it's not a bad opportunity to promote yourself."

"Promote what?" asked Ling Zhenfei.

Wu Wenli replied, "Of course your restaurant or your manor and the like."

Ling Zhenfei felt intrigued—perhaps it was a small opportunity.

Bai Ling chimed in, "I think it's a good idea. Brother Xu, you don't know, initially I arranged some shows for him, but he declined them all, wasting my efforts."

Xu Tao and Wu Wenli shared a glance and said, "Yeah, Bai Ling is Zhenfei's agent, so we'll rely on Bai Ling for this. You seem to have influence over Zhenfei."

Before Bai Ling could respond, Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, no need to discuss further. I agree. If I don't, you all might start criticizing me."

Everyone laughed together. Xu Tao said happily, "If you agreed earlier, it'd be much simpler. We know you're busy, so we'll coordinate with Miss Bai Ling—just make sure you come on time."

After everyone agreed, Wu Wenli got into a car and left.

Things wound down with people leaving throughout the day; today's opening came to an end.

Many still queued for membership cards. Some missed both lunch and dinner timing, occupying seats to eat later.

Preparing to dine here, they occupied seats. Xi Shan Restaurant offers free Wi-Fi, books to read, and drinks like coffee.

Ling Zhenfei was genuinely happy seeing people reading in the restaurant, enjoying the feeling a lot.

The waitstaff had thoroughly cleaned every area, leaving Xi Shan Restaurant spotless.

Ling Zhenfei was extremely satisfied, viewing Xi Shan Restaurant as a shining work of art.
