"Thanks."
Lin Feng said thank you.
Then he poured all the noodles from the pot into the bowl.
He stirred them a couple of times with his chopsticks, and a plume of steam rose up.
"Bro..."
"What am I gonna do? I’m hungry again..."
Lin Xiaoman was sure she had been full just a moment ago.
But seeing Lin Feng’s bowl of braised beef noodles, she couldn’t help but swallow hard.
It wasn’t that her willpower was weak; the instant noodles were just too tempting.
Su Ruoxi also smiled and nodded.
"Hold on, Brother Feng, let me take a picture."
"I have to document this moment of your extravagance."
As she spoke, Su Ruoxi actually pulled out her phone.
Since Su Ruoxi wanted to, Lin Feng was naturally happy to oblige.
He even dug out the beef and egg that were buried under the noodles.
Su Ruoxi took a couple of photos and then immediately posted them to her Friends Circle.
"Now *this* is what you call braised beef noodles?"
After Su Ruoxi finished taking pictures, Lin Feng had already dug in.
He had to admit.
These instant noodles were seriously delicious.
After all, the steak was worth nearly ten thousand.
It even made the cheap pack of instant noodles taste so much better.
Lin Feng had proven one thing with his actions.
It’s not that instant noodles taste bad, it’s that there’s never enough meat.
’This is a shout-out to a certain instant noodle brand.’
Lin Xiaoman stood by, watching him the whole time.
She watched Lin Feng take a bite of noodles, then a bite of meat, and every now and then, a bite of egg.
Even more infuriatingly, Lin Feng would blow on the broth before taking a satisfied sip.
This was more than Lin Xiaoman could bear.
"Bro, save a couple bites for me! That’s my steak!"
Lin Xiaoman reached out to snatch it.
Lin Feng quickly dodged.
"Didn’t you say you weren’t eating anymore?" Lin Feng said as he dodged.
"I am eating! Who said I wasn’t?! You have to at least save me a couple of pieces!"
Lin Xiaoman still wasn’t ready to give up.
But just then, Lin Feng’s phone started ringing.
He had no choice but to hand the bowl to Lin Xiaoman.
"Don’t eat it all. I need to take this call."
Lin Xiaoman agreed readily.
Then she picked up a few pieces of meat with her chopsticks and stuffed them into her mouth.
Her face was a picture of pure satisfaction.
Su Ruoxi watched Lin Feng and Lin Xiaoman bicker over the food.
For some reason, she felt a little envious.
’This must be the nice part about having siblings.’
It could make someone like Lin Xiaoman, who was already full, fight to eat even more.
Lin Feng didn’t notice the envious look on Su Ruoxi’s face.
He pulled out his phone, glanced at it, and saw it was a call from Yang Qiniang.
After he answered, Yang Qiniang’s exaggerated voice immediately rang out from the other end.
"Brother Feng!"
"You’re actually making instant noodles with A5 Wagyu? That’s so over the top!"
’Alright, it seems Yang Qiniang saw Su Ruoxi’s Friends Circle post.’
To be able to recognize it was A5 Level steak just from a photo, Yang Qiniang’s eye for quality was spot on.
"No, my sister ordered two pieces, but she couldn’t finish one, so I used it for instant noodles," Lin Feng explained.
"I’m impressed. I’m truly impressed. So, what do instant noodles made with A5 Level steak taste like?" Yang Qiniang asked.
"Not bad. I recommend you try it."
Lin Feng savored the memory for a moment, then turned his head to see Lin Xiaoman was already drinking the broth.
"Xiaoman, save some for me!"
Lin Feng couldn’t help but exclaim.
When Lin Xiaoman saw that Lin Feng had noticed, she actually started drinking faster.
Seeing this, Lin Feng could only shake his head.
"Brother Nian, you didn’t call me just to ask about the steak, did you?"
"Of course not. I’m calling to report on our work progress."
"I’ve pretty much finished recruiting, and the company license is being processed."
"But the license part will be a bit slow."
"Even pulling some strings, it will still take a week."
It had to be said, Yang Qiniang’s work efficiency was very high.
A process that would take others at least two months to complete only required a week in Yang Qiniang’s hands.
This just showed how capable he was.
Although things went so smoothly for Yang Qiniang only because he had Yang Tianming’s backing, it was undeniable that when it came to handling these kinds of matters, Yang Qiniang was indeed more skilled than Lin Feng.
Lin Feng had to admit that.
"Thanks a lot, Brother Nian," Lin Feng said.
"Don’t just thank me with words, give me something tangible."
"Like, for example, some of that A5 Wagyu steak."
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Yang Qiniang on the other end of the line was hinting like crazy.
No, that wasn’t a hint; it was an outright demand.
Lin Feng discovered something.
Yang Qiniang also seemed to be extremely passionate when it came to food.
"No problem. You find the place, just don’t show up planning to gnaw on a whole cow," Lin Feng replied with a laugh.
’He happened to have an extra Intermediate Gourmet Card on hand. It would be great if he could spend it all.’
"Also, remember to bring all the future core members of the company."
"The new company’s first meal is on me."
Yang Qiniang was quite satisfied with Lin Feng’s response.
But he hesitated for a moment before saying, "There’s no need to treat the company staff to A5 Wagyu."
"We haven’t even earned a single cent yet. Don’t eat the company into bankruptcy before we even start."
You could tell Yang Qiniang genuinely felt bad about how much money Lin Feng was spending.
In fact, a typical company dinner costs around two to three hundred per person, and that’s already considered a high standard.
For someone like Lin Feng to treat his employees to A5 Level Wagyu was basically a fantasy.
After all, a single pound of A5 Level Wagyu costs over ten thousand.
Eating two months of an employee’s salary in one meal?
Is that possible?
Instead of doing that, it would be better to just give them a two-month bonus.
Nothing beats cold, hard cash.
But Lin Feng was different.
Lin Feng had ten Gourmet Consumption Cashback Cards in his inventory.
And they were all Intermediate level.
If he didn’t use them, it would be far too much of a waste.
"Let’s talk about this later."
"We can discuss it again after I get back."
Over the phone, Lin Feng and Yang Qiniang couldn’t go into too much detail anyway.
"Alright, but no matter what, don’t forget you promised me A5 Wagyu."
Yang Qiniang didn’t forget to remind Lin Feng one last time before hanging up.
"Alright, alright, I know, I know. Hanging up now."
After saying that, Lin Feng hung up the phone.
When he looked back at Lin Xiaoman, that little rascal had already licked the bowl clean.
"Full now?" Lin Feng asked.
"Stuffed, stuffed."
It was the first time she had ever eaten such delicious instant noodles.
Lin Xiaoman was very satisfied.
"If you’re full, let’s go."
Lin Feng shrugged, then took out his bank card and handed it to Yu Xuan.
"You can run the card."
"O-Okay."
Although Yu Xuan was stunned by the wild antics of Lin Feng’s group, it didn’t stop her from doing her job.
The steak dinner came to 28,000.
The number looked a bit expensive.
But for A5 Level Wagyu, it wasn’t expensive at all.
As for the small change on top of that, Yu Xuan waived it.
After all, the extra charge was just for a pack of instant noodles, two eggs, and some bok choy.
But for some reason, Yu Xuan couldn’t shake the feeling that during the trio’s meal today, the ’small change’ items were the real main course.
’A purchase of less than 30,000 wasn’t worth wasting an Intermediate Gourmet Consumption Cashback Card on.’
