Chapter 264 Large Oysters

It was probably because he had been praised last night.

The next morning, Nangong Tian happily continued making breakfast.

As soon as Su Yehao sat down at the table, he saw the girl bring over a plate with two oversized oysters on it, each more than twenty centimeters long.

Having eaten oysters for so many years, he had never seen such large ones.

They had been simply steamed and drizzled with a little soy sauce, looking very authentic and smelling fragrant.

Jiang Yu looked at the oysters on Su Yehao's plate, then at the millet porridge in front of her, and said speechlessly, "Even though I don't pay rent, this is too much. What kind of oysters are those? They're so big?"

"French Gillardeau oysters. I ordered them from the supplier yesterday afternoon. These are the largest size 0 premium oysters, costing two thousand dollars for two."

Nangong Tian finished speaking with a smile, waving her hand, "I'm not being discriminatory. I'll have porridge with you. Brother Hao is a man, after all, he needs to replenish himself."

"Why do only men need to replenish themselves?" Jiang Yu asked curiously.

Nangong Tian told her, "You'll know when you have a boyfriend. Little girls don't need to know so much."

Jiang Yu wasn't completely ignorant. She immediately stared at Su Yehao, scrutinizing him as if she had discovered some amazing secret, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Su Yehao hadn't even picked up his chopsticks yet, but guessing what Jiang Yu was thinking, he decisively clarified, "I don't need this. Eating oysters in the morning is a bit too greasy, and they're so big. I'll eat one, and you guys can split the rest."

He had never heard of the Gillardeau brand before, and since it was so expensive, it was worth savoring.

Each bite was like eating three hundred dollars.

Honestly... it just tasted like oysters, with a faint umami flavor from the soy sauce, but nothing particularly special.

Because they were expensive and this size was relatively rare, he felt a little different, and the steaming was just right.

Su Yehao used to not be a picky eater. He could enjoy a small bowl of fish balls for five dollars on the street or an eight-dollar sandwich from a food truck.

But unknowingly, he had been sampling delicacies in various ways, and his palate had gradually become more discerning.

He casually stewed ginseng chicken soup, occasionally buying honey-glazed abalone or Buddha Jumps Over the Wall from top chefs. That's how he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars a month on daily expenses.

After eating and drinking his fill, Su Yehao went out to class with them.

Today was Wednesday, and the Spring Festival holiday was coming up next week. Adding in the two weekend days, they could get about ten days off if they took a few extra days.

Su Yehao and Nangong Tian were discussing where to go for fun, while Jiang Yu looked on enviously.

It was one thing to be a third wheel normally, but it would be too much to follow them on a trip, so Jiang Yu was too embarrassed to ask to come along.

Singapore was the first consideration.

But Nangong Tian went there often, and Su Yehao felt that it was just a city and he was tired of seeing it. The fact that many Singaporeans traveled to Casino, 1997, and Hong Kong showed the problem, so he decisively gave up on it.

Europe was somewhat interesting. They had gone to London on a school trip last year, and Nangong Tian suggested Santorini in Greece or Milan, Rome, Venice, etc., in Italy this time.

However, Su Yehao had been tortured by jet lag several times and didn't want to travel so far for the time being.

There were many places to visit in the mainland, but they lacked a sense of novelty. They discussed it all the way to the HKU campus before deciding to take a trip to Japan during the Spring Festival for skiing, hot springs, and to take care of some business matters.

The headquarters of Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank had long asked someone to invite Su Yehao to be a guest.

If he chose to go to Japan, it would definitely be a comprehensive service, and even if Su Yehao wanted to pay for himself, the people at the bank probably wouldn't agree.

One option was to spend his own money to travel, while the other was to be treated at public expense. Plus, Su Yehao had never been to Japan, so it was temporarily at the top of the list of travel destinations. Anyway, there were still a few days to think about it.

In addition to the bank, Su Yehao was also considering planning ahead and finding some home appliance manufacturing companies worth acquiring in order to obtain their technology and talent.

There were many Southeast Asian home appliance manufacturers going bankrupt these days, but in terms of technology and reputation, they were somewhat behind Japan.

The large project of Si Hai International Financing and Midea Group was basically coming to a conclusion. Su Yehao wasn't sure if his father would let him handle it, but making some plans in advance was better than being thrown into the deep end later.

Midea Group was already one of the current giants in the mainland's home appliance manufacturing industry, with a decent foundation and brand influence.

As long as they raised the quality of their products and services by a few notches and relied on their cost-effectiveness advantages, the future market prospects would be extremely broad.

...

Su Yehao, who didn't know where the classroom was, followed Jiang Yu.

It didn't matter when Nangong Tian was around, but when they were alone, Jiang Yu would subconsciously think of the scene yesterday evening when Su Yehao barged into her room.

Even more embarrassing was that Jiang Yu had actually dreamed about Su Yehao while sleeping last night, so she had been absent-minded from morning until now, deliberately keeping her distance from him.

Seeing her dawdling, Su Yehao complained:

"Hurry up, I'm counting on you to take me to the classroom. Why are you constantly backing away? Are you afraid I'll eat you?"

"...The famous Young Master Su, who in the school doesn't know you? I'm worried about rumors spreading," Jiang Yu said.

After hearing this, Su Yehao chuckled and said, "Rumors would have spread long ago, why wait until now? I haven't been to class in a long time, and I want to run away again. Is this professor's class interesting?"

"Do you know him? He's the vice president, Zheng Yongwen. Sometimes reporters come to interview him when he lectures."

Vice President Zheng Yongwen had earned a fortune for Su Yehao before, and then he cleared up the business and went to be a consultant.

It seemed like he had a lot of free time, and he even had time to come and teach students. Su Yehao admitted that this guy was a rare talent, saying:

"Then we need to get to the classroom faster. I'll find time to talk to him and try to get him to be my consultant and help me make plans. I haven't been making as much money lately, mainly because I don't know enough. I didn't short the Korean won, and I missed the drop in the Hang Seng Index."

"Several hundred million, and that's not much?"

Jiang Yu was speechless, shaking her head and saying, "Many people want to hire him now, but it conflicts with the position of chief financial advisor. He definitely won't agree. You'll have a chance to try after he steps down."

"That makes sense. Besides, this vice president isn't short of money. It's a headache."

Su Yehao accompanied Jiang Yu and sat in the front row of the classroom, not even asking her if she wanted to sit together.

The other students were used to it. Since the news of their "engagement" spread, the number of suitors harassing Jiang Yu had plummeted.

It was probably because they knew their own conditions couldn't compare to Su Yehao's.

Vice President Zheng Yongwen walked onto the podium, glanced over the class, stared at Su Yehao, and said with a smile, "Even the small stock god of Hong Kong has come to my class? What an honor."

Su Yehao was stunned, wondering where this nickname came from.

It sounded... pretty good.
