"I think it's not just about eating vegetables from Xishan Manor; the chefs should also learn from Mr. Ling's culinary skills. I don't believe these vegetables taste so good just because they are fresh."

"Great, it would be fantastic to eat such vegetables every day in the future."

Cao Qinglin said, "Mr. Ling, with these vegetables, I think opening a restaurant would definitely be very profitable."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course! I have a Xi Shan Restaurant in Binyang where these vegetables are served. It's extremely popular; although the prices are high, it's thriving."

Cao Qinglin was slightly taken aback and said, "That's great! If it's doing so well in a place like Binyang, then placing it in the Capital City would surely bring in a fortune!"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Exactly, one of the big reasons I'm here in the Capital City is to find a place to open a branch of Xi Shan Restaurant. Unfortunately, there are some challenges."

Cao Qinglin said, "I wonder what challenges you're facing? Any concerns?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "First is the location choice. Property prices in the Capital City are extremely high, unlike Binyang, and the scale of Xi Shan Restaurant can't be too small, which limits me significantly."

Another point is how to transport the vegetables from Binyang to the Capital City. The vegetables must be fresh and consumed on the same day. It's very important that they are picked in the morning and appear on the table by noon.

Cao Qinglin laughed after hearing this and said, "This is too simple. You should just come to me! I own quite a bit of real estate in the Capital City, both in good locations and of good size. We can cooperate.

Moreover, regarding transportation, coming to me is the right choice. Eating vegetables picked in the morning by noon is just like what we're doing now.

If Xi Shan Restaurant wants to open in the Capital City, we can cooperate. Our Lightning Logistics can open a special line for transporting vegetables from Xishan Manor."

Ling Zhenfei was very pleased with this. One of his reasons for cooking this meal for the Cao family members was indeed this: he valued the convenience of the Cao family's Lightning Logistics.

Ling Zhenfei said with a smile, "If this really happens, that would be wonderful, solving the logistics issues, and the remaining aspects would be straightforward."

Cao Qinglin seemingly saw a business opportunity and asked Ling Zhenfei, "Mr. Ling, about the vegetable transport, we can certainly cooperate, but what about cooperating to open a restaurant?"

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Cooperating to open a restaurant is definitely good, but before this, I talked with Mr. Si Mayang. He also wants to cooperate and has already selected a location for me."

Cao Qinglin laughed and said, "This is very simple. The Capital City is such a big market; opening just one store is not enough. So, at least two stores to start with would be necessary."

"It seems Mr. Cao is very confident in our Xishan Manor?" Ling Zhenfei said with a smile.

Cao Qinglin nodded and said, "Of course! If Xi Shan Restaurant can reach 60% of the taste we've had today, it would surpass the others.

If it can reach 80% of Mr. Ling's culinary skills, then no matter how expensive, it would be crowded with customers, making money while lying down."

People around also chimed in, "Yes, this food is delicious. No matter how expensive it is, we would eat it. Besides, people in the Capital City don't lack money; with lower prices, they wouldn't even consider going."

Ling Zhenfei thought what they said made sense, aligning with his own thoughts. The Cao family could represent many people in the Capital City, meaning they have money.

It's said the current population of the Capital City has reached fifteen million, twice as much as Binyang's seven to eight million, and there are more wealthy people.

With many celebrities, wealthy people, and the middle class, who care about appearances and like to treat guests, Xi Shan Restaurant would be an excellent choice.

But opening two stores at once would put considerable pressure on Ling Zhenfei. Currently, he is planning for one Xi Shan Restaurant in Modu and one in the Provincial City.

Adding two more stores in the Capital City would present issues in staff training, among others.

Seeing some hesitation from Ling Zhenfei, Cao Qinglin said, "Well, after the meal, I'll take you to see our family's properties. You can decide which place you like best, and we'll open the store there. I'm very serious."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, in that case, let's go have a look this afternoon."

Everyone was very happy, and the food on the table disappeared quickly, showing that they really liked the vegetables from Xishan Manor and the dishes cooked by Ling Zhenfei.

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei walked to the kitchen, took out a Heart-Talk Fruit, placed it on a tray, decorated it, and carried it to the dining room.

Everyone was captivated by the Heart-Talk Fruit on the tray because although they couldn't count their wealth, they had never seen a Heart-Talk Fruit before.

Ling Zhenfei carried the Heart-Talk Fruit to the table and placed it in front of Xu Yuyu.

Everyone looked at Ling Zhenfei in surprise. Cao Qinglin asked him, "Mr. Lin, what is this thing? I've never seen it before."

"Yes, I've never seen this either. It's so strange. What is it?" Xu Yuyu also asked in surprise.

Boss Ling laughed and said, "This is a fruit called the Heart-Talk Fruit, exclusive to Xishan Manor, and very rare, so I can't offer it to everyone; please understand.

There is only one fruit tree at Xishan Manor, so it's very scarce, but we are planting others. I believe everyone will be able to eat them in the future.

Because I am a collaborator with Mr. Cao, and Mrs. Xu Yuyu is the mistress of the Cao family, and since their child is about to be born, I am giving this Heart-Talk Fruit to Mrs. Xu Yuyu."

What Ling Zhenfei said was clearly layered, directly establishing that Xu Yuyu is the mistress of the Cao family, conveying it to those around. Regardless of what kind of person Cao Qinglin is, Xu Yuyu stands as the respected sister-like figure.

This was Cao Qinglin's lawful marriage, so others shouldn't talk behind their backs; it's irrelevant.

Moreover, he highlighted the child in Xu Yuyu's belly. As mentioned earlier, it's a boy, who will inherit the family assets, elevating Xu Yuyu's status.

Even though Xu Yuyu, as a celebrity, married into the Cao family, in such a great family, especially wealthy ones, they do not greatly respect women like Xu Yuyu. Now, Ling Zhenfei emphasized their importance.

Everyone looked at Xu Yuyu, who felt a bit overwhelmed by the attention but soon returned to normal. After all, she is a celebrity and very adept at handling such situations.
