The restaurant's prices were not low. For five people to eat well, it would cost at least one to two thousand yuan. Miao Qiu and the others' living expenses were two to three thousand yuan a month, so one to two thousand yuan was not a small sum for them.
Ye Tian smiled and said, "It's fine, order whatever you like."
"Let's have a few plates of crayfish," Miao Qiu suggested.
Xia Lei said somewhat hesitantly, "Don't order anything too expensive."
Miao Qiu said, "Xia Lei, Ye Tian is treating, why are you being so polite? Bring four plates of crayfish first."
The crayfish here tasted good, but they were not cheap. Each plate of two and a half jin cost over two hundred yuan, so four plates would be nearly a thousand yuan.
As Xia Lei was about to say something else, Ye Tian smiled and said, "Xia Lei, order whatever you like. There's no limit to how much we can spend today."
A girl next to Xia Lei, who was also attractive, scoring a nine out of ten, pouted slightly upon hearing Ye Tian's words and said, "Then we won't be polite. Waiter, serve each of us a bowl of shark fin first. Then, bring one of your supreme lobsters."
Xia Lei was surprised. The lobsters here weighed several jin each and cost over a thousand yuan. She said, "Minmin, what's so good about lobster? Let's order something else..."
The girl named Minmin said, "If Brother Ye Tian is reluctant, then forget it. Last time my boyfriend treated you to two lobsters here."
She clearly didn't think Ye Tian was wealthy, and his earlier words were just for show.
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Then order a few more, one for each person."
Xia Lei quickly said, "Brother Ye Tian, we won't be able to finish them. One is enough."
Minmin chuckled, "Leilei, you're quite good at saving him money. Haven't you fallen for him yet?"
Xia Lei's face turned red. "What nonsense are you talking about? Brother Ye Tian and I just met. This is only our second meeting."
Ye Tian asked the waiter for the menu. He flipped through it, and seeing not many dishes, he ordered some home-style dishes, totaling around four to five thousand yuan.
Seeing Ye Tian order so casually, rattling off over ten dish names at once, Xia Lei said, "Brother Ye Tian, that's enough, it's too much."
Ye Tian replied, "It's fine, I have a big appetite. Ladies, do you want to order anything else?"
Seeing Ye Tian's nonchalant demeanor while ordering, Minmin's attitude improved slightly. She smiled and said, "This is enough. Thank you, Brother Ye Tian."
Miao Qiu also smiled and said, "Brother Ye Tian is truly generous."
Soon, the crayfish were served, and the group immediately began to eat. The shrimp were not easy to peel. Xia Lei wanted to wear gloves, but Ye Tian said, "No need, I'll peel them for you."
As he spoke, he picked up a shrimp with his chopsticks. With a few deft movements, the shrimp meat came out, and even the deveining was done.
Xia Lei's beautiful eyes widened. "Amazing, how did you do that?"
Ye Tian replied, "It's very simple." He then proceeded to peel several more for her.
The crayfish looked like a lot, but there wasn't much meat. The four plates were quickly finished. Ye Tian ordered another four plates. As he ate, he continued to peel shrimp for Xia Lei. This made the other girls envious, all thinking he was trying to pursue Xia Lei.
After eating the shrimp, Miao Qiu picked up her phone and sent a message to someone named Young Master Huang: "Young Master Huang, there's a sugar daddy treating Xia Lei and us to dinner. He's very generous."
Soon, the Young Master Huang replied: "What? Someone dares to snatch my girl? Where are you? I'm coming over immediately!"
Miao Qiu replied: "We're at Juyuan Pavilion. I'll send you the location."
After sending the message, Miao Qiu continued eating and smiled, "Brother Ye Tian, what do you do for work?"
Ye Tian replied, "I own a company, and I also see patients occasionally."
Miao Qiu was taken aback. "You own a company?"
The other girls also became interested and asked him what business he was in. Ye Tian simply said he was in the medicinal materials business.
The dishes were served one after another, all the most expensive ones. The girls ate with their mouths full of oil. Xia Lei was more reserved, but Ye Tian had peeled a lot of shrimp for her, and she was almost full.
While the group of girls were chatting, he took out the acquisition list of Japanese companies to review. He noticed that the pharmaceutical companies on the list had signed contracts with a large number of major medicinal material growers. Once these companies were acquired, the corresponding major growers of medicinal materials would be under their control.
The list also included acquisition quotes, totaling over 120 billion yuan. These companies were performing well, with total profits exceeding 10 billion yuan last year, so the offer of 120 billion yuan was not too high.
He took photos and sent them to Lin Ziyi, asking her to send people to these companies to negotiate acquisitions. He wanted to buy these companies before the Japanese made their move!
