Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

After chatting with the capital leadership team for a long time, Zhang Xuan left on the grounds of attending tomorrow's award ceremony.

Walking out of the airport, Zhang Xuan asked Tao Ge: You seem to know the big boss?

Tao Ge said: This person has been to our house before and we have met several times.

Zhang Xuan understood and no longer asked further questions.

Li Wendong and Wen Yu were picked up at the airport, each in a car.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Zhang Xuan, Du Dudong and Ai Qing got into Li Wendong's car.

Tao Ge, Du Shuangling and Chen Yan got into Wen Yu's car.

Li Wendong started the car and said to Zhang Xuan: I have wanted to treat you to dinner many times, but you are very busy. Today I have made the decision without permission. Come and sit at my place.

Sure, let's go to your place and learn more about it.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, Actually, if I weren't really busy, I would have wanted to sit with you a long time ago. I often hear Sister Tao's compliments, which makes my heart feel very itchy.

Li Wendong glanced at him sideways, smiled and nodded.

The two were chatting lively. When they saw that Du Dudong and Ai Qing in the back seat couldn't talk to each other, Zhang Xuan and Li Wendong had a tacit understanding and directed the topic to the couple from time to time. The four of them chatted happily for a while.

The concept of private clubs originated in the 17th century and was designed to serve the wealthy class and provide them with a place for entertainment and social interaction.

Rich people from all walks of life gather in each private club. They spend money here like water, and can even spend tens of millions of yuan in one night. This kind of place is also called the second home of the rich.

However, in private clubs, there are also three, six or nine levels.

Among the top private clubs, they are roughly divided into two categories.

One is low-key luxury. For example, the very famous Fengchang No. 2 in Shanghai is a typical example of low-key luxury.

The other type pays attention to grandeur, and the Anchang Club, one of the top clubs in Beijing, is the representative.

The location of Anchang Club can be said to be unique. It is in a prime location next to Tianx Gate. You can watch the flag-raising ceremony by walking 500 meters in the morning.

The interior of the Anchang Club is designed to imitate the Jinluan Palace. Purple tremble wood furniture and ornaments can be seen everywhere. The lights shine on the ceiling with a pure gold texture, making the club look magnificent.

When Zhang Xuan and his party followed Li Wendong and his wife into the club hall, they were all attracted by the screen throne made of gold foil.

Tao Ge took the initiative to introduce it at this time: This screen was made by the National Red Sandalwood Museum according to the proportions of the imperial palace dragon chair.

Most of the interior of the club is decorated with gold and marble, and the soft walls are made of leather.

Walking in the texture-filled aisles, Zhang Xuan clearly felt the changes in Lao Du's family. They lost their previous casualness and gradually became more solemn.

In fact, the old man wanted to adjust the atmosphere, but he was helpless. He was also a man who had been poor for a long time and then became rich. Although these suggestions were true, he didn't seem to know how to speak.

Fortunately, Tao Ge and Wen Yu knew what was going on and took the initiative to talk to Du Dudong and Ai Qing, which finally made the couple relax completely.

After passing through the ordinary reception hall, Li Wendong and Wen Yu led a group of five people into the most luxurious box.

The starting price for a meal in this kind of luxury box is 50,000 yuan. Some dishes are priced separately, and the price of drinks for a table is also fixed, ranging from 100,000 to hundreds of thousands.

Li Wendong has a serious appearance. He was afraid that he would ruin the atmosphere, so he was received by Wen Yu who was always smiling.

When Zhang Xuan saw the menu, he was almost stunned.

What?

The rice dumplings with fermented rice wine are more than 100 yuan, the noodles with onion oil are more than 200 yuan, the candied lotus root is more than 400 yuan...

Hmm, this is still the simplest dish, commonly known as home cooking.

Looking at the back of the menu, you can see that none of the expensive ingredients such as abalone, sea cucumber, and bird's nest cost less than 1,000 yuan.

If you can still accept these publicity, you can see that the prices of those unique dishes are generally marked from 8888 to 48888 yuan.

He was convinced!

I'm so damn convinced. If I were to put aside my past life and eat this way, I wouldn't be able to afford it many times with my wealth.

Seeing that Du Dudong and Ai Qing were silent, Tao Ge was too embarrassed to speak on his behalf. Finally, Zhang Xuan waved his hand and ordered a few expensive ones, a few fresh ones, and a few based on the hobbies of Lao Du's family of three. Leave it to Tao Ge.

It’s not empty when you come.

Anyway, no matter how you spend it, the money is still affordable.

Tao Ge and Wen Yu discussed it for a while and added three more dishes.

Li Wendong stood up and took a bottle of red wine.

One look, wow! Zhang Xuan feels dizzy again. This is a real Lafite, made in 1982.

Two more bottles!

Li Wendong was very polite when he poured good wine for everyone, and first toasted Du Dudong and Ai Qing.

Then he said to Zhang Xuan: Come, let's have a drink together. Congratulations on winning the award, and I wish your new book will sell well.

Zhang Xuan raised his glass and clinked it, You already knew?

Li Wendong smiled and said: Now the newspapers are reporting on your new book.

Zhang Xuan laughed: Yeah, it seems I'm the only one who was kept in the dark.

Finished one.

Wen Yu also started to toast and said to Zhang Xuan and Du Shuangling: Sister-in-law, I wish you a long life together.

Zhang Xuan said: Thank you.

Du Shuangling smiled and said, Thank you, sister-in-law.

After three rounds of drinking, this meal was a lively one.

Afterwards, Zhang Xuan and Du Shuangling returned the favor.

Three hours passed by drinking, eating, and chatting.

After the meal, everyone took a picture together.

When they left An Chang Club, the sun had already set in the west and it was getting dark. Everyone went to Tao Ge's house as a place to stay.

But just after entering the door, Zhang Xuan received a call from Chen Yan.

Hey, have you picked up my mom, my brother and my sister-in-law?

Chen Yan replied on the phone: I got it and will come right away.

Oh, okay. After chatting for a while, Zhang Xuan hung up the phone.

Ai Qing asked with concern: Why did you arrive in the capital now?

At this time, Du Dudong interjected: This is already fast. It takes less than 5 or 6 hours to get to Changsha from home. The flight also takes several hours, and we have to wait for the flight in the middle.

Zhang Xuan looked at Tao Ge: Can you still eat it?

Tao Ge smiled and said, You are looking down on my sister. Let's go and take you to a good place.

With that said, the group put down their luggage, washed briefly, and went to the hotel again.

Tao Ge's house was very busy tonight, and everyone didn't rest until after 11 o'clock in the evening.

But I couldn't sleep, so I put Yanghua and his wife in the hotel.

Lying on the bed, Ai Qing pushed Du Dudong: What do you think of Zhang Xuan's treatment of the two actors?

Recalling everything about his youngest daughter and Zhang Xuan, Du Dudong said truthfully: Okay, better than we are to both actors. You don't have to worry about their relationship.

Seeing what her husband said, Ai Qing, who was worried about gains and losses, finally took her mind back. She looked at the ceiling and said:

After taking a walk at the Anchang Club today, I realized why everyone wants to get promoted and make a fortune, and everyone wants to go to higher places. It turns out that they want to enjoy these good things.

Du Dudong looked at her and said with a smile: I have never lacked you in clothes, clothes, food and drink. My life in this small town is no worse than anyone else's. I have never seen you feeling so emotional before.

Ai Qing turned slightly sideways, stretched out his hand to touch Dudong's face and said, It's different. How many people can afford a place like An Chang Club? How many people are qualified to enter?

I never dared to think that a dish I usually eat costs thousands or even tens of thousands? A bottle of wine can cover several years of income for many rural families?

I just lamented that without Zhang Xuan, I would not be able to see the world outside.

But having said that, following you, I have lived a happier and better life than most people in this life, and I am already very content.

Dudong listened and nodded: Today is indeed an eye-opener.

I should take you outside to walk more, see more, and enjoy more. You have been living in Qianzhen for most of your life. Thinking about it now, it seems that you are sitting in a well and watching the sky.

Ai Qing patted him lightly: Don't say that. Being able to marry you in this life is a blessing I have earned in three lifetimes. Although I am shocked by how real rich people live, I don't yearn for it.

We are not particularly old now. We usually live a good and comfortable life in the town. From time to time we go out with Zhang Xuan and Shuang Ling to see the world and travel. I think this kind of life is the most practical and exciting.

Dudong grabbed Ai Qing's hand and said, Your words remind me of 20 years ago and let me experience the romance of 20 years ago. Thank you for giving birth to two good daughters for me.

Ai Qing said firmly: Me too.

Dudong was in a particularly good mood today and said, I'll sing you a song.

Ai Qing seemed to know what song he was going to sing and looked forward to it.

Dukedong sang softly:

Thatched roof, yellow mud

A winding river flows behind the house

Ah, that's the hut of my educated youth.

First, Du Dudong sang in a low voice, and then Ai Qing sang along. The old couple holding hands seemed to have returned to the past.
