Chapter 2340: 2154: Genius Among Geniuses

Except for occasionally going back to Jinling to visit her mother, Jiang Xiyue spends her time in East Sea. When Ye Qiu called her, she was still at the office, not off work yet. Upon hearing that Ye Qiu was coming to pick her up for dinner, Jiang Xiyue waited at the office.

Wang Leshan either travels abroad or throughout the country, then it’s break time. Ye Qiu doesn’t always get the chance to meet her. Now that Wang Leshan answers the phone, she’s mostly resting.

"I’m resting these days," Wang Leshan said.

"Meet me at the Empire Building. We’re having dinner there."

It’s further away from Wang Leshan, so taking a car there is more convenient.

After the call, Ma Wenwen understood Ye Qiu was going to treat those two ladies to dinner.

Before boarding the car, Ye Qiu drove to Jiang Xiyue’s office. Arriving at the plaza in front of the building, Ye Qiu parked temporarily.

The Jiangyue Group headquarters is still here now, but it will surely move later.

Approximately ten minutes later, Jiang Xiyue emerged with her bag, stepping out in high heels.

Upon seeing Ye Qiu’s car, she opened the back seat door and saw Ma Wenwen and Little Hui were already inside.

Ye Qiu reversed the car and headed towards the Empire Building.

At the underground parking of Empire Building, he parked the car and took the elevator upstairs.

Empire Building is known for its buffet, but it also offers Eastern Ocean cuisine, French cuisine, and luxurious seafood.

Actually, Ye Qiu has tried them all before. He’s not particularly fond of Eastern Ocean cuisine.

French food is alright, though.

"What do you guys want to eat? French cuisine, Huaxia cuisine, or the buffet?"

The setting here is very nice, so dining here isn’t cheap.

Whichever option you choose, it’ll be costly.

"I’m good with anything."

Ma Wenwen feels like she wants to eat it all.

Back when she was a travel and food journalist, she often tasted various delicacies, but now that she’s resigned and staying at home, she mostly eats Little Hui’s cooking.

She rarely tastes the gourmet food outside.

"Let’s have French cuisine."

Little Hui likely hasn’t tried it yet.

On the floor just below the top of the Empire Building, there are upscale French dishes.

Ye Qiu had spotted this place last time he visited but hadn’t tried it yet.

As Ye Qiu took the elevator with the three women and reached the entrance, a blonde, tall Caucasian waitress greeted them.

"Sir, how many?" the blonde young Caucasian beauty asked.

"Five, there’s still one more to come."

Ye Qiu spoke in standard French, and the waitress recognized it immediately.

She hadn’t expected this young man to speak French with a Parisian accent.

The waitress led Ye Qiu and the four inside. Despite being dinner time, the place remained quiet. Besides the lavish French palace-like décor, elegant French piano music played softly.

The waitress led Ye Qiu’s group to a six-seater table.

Just as they sat down, Ye Qiu’s phone rang—it was Wang Leshan calling. She had arrived at the Empire Building via the subway.

"I’m on the floor below the buffet, at the French restaurant here," Ye Qiu told Ma Wenwen to go get Wang Leshan.

Ma Wenwen went out.

After Ma Wenwen left, Ye Qiu ordered the French dishes and two bottles of Lafite.

The two bottles of Lafite cost over a hundred thousand yuan.

There really aren’t many people like Ye Qiu who are so unrestrained in spending on food and drink.

After the young blonde waitress left with the menu, Ma Wenwen returned with Wang Leshan.

At this moment, Wang Leshan wasn’t wearing her flight attendant uniform but the high-end dress Ye Qiu had gifted her. With her tall figure, she attracted quite a bit of attention from the men dining inside.

As Wang Leshan followed Ma Wenwen to Ye Qiu’s table to sit, she knew Ye Qiu wasn’t just inviting her to dinner. Besides her and Ma Wenwen, Jiang Xiyue and the little maid Little Hui were also there.

When Wang Leshan sat down, she asked, "Didn’t you say you were going to America?"

"Just got back."

Wang Leshan knew Ye Qiu had been to America, but she hadn’t been flying to America recently, so she hadn’t had the chance to hang out with Ye Qiu.

As for Jiang Xiyue, she likely knew but couldn’t go because of work commitments.

"Went to treat those American millionaires."

Not long after, the young blonde waitress returned with another waitress, also Caucasian, likely both are international students working part-time.

To Ye Qiu’s surprise, this Caucasian waitress wasn’t French but Ukrainian, and she spoke simple Chinese and French.

They set the wine glasses, opened the bottle, and poured half a glass for each. Less than half the bottle was left—more expensive than gold, indeed not for ordinary people.

As for the Viscount Red Wine, many have heard of it, but few have had the chance to taste it.

It’s said that the Norwegian Forest Bar in Jinling has Viscount Red Wine, but many who go there find it rare to get a chance to drink it.

After the two waitresses left, the Ukrainian beauty was quite surprised as she discovered the young man leading four ladies spoke fluent French, Russian, and even Ukrainian.

When Ye Qiu conversed with her earlier, the French blonde waitress couldn’t understand, and neither could Wang Leshan and the others.

"Ye Qiu, what were you talking about with that lady earlier?" Ma Wenwen asked.

"I spoke to her in Ukrainian. She said lots of Ukrainian beauty are coming to East Sea to try their luck."

Ukrainian language?

Ma Wenwen was speechless.

She has certainly seen a lot and traveled to many places globally.

She only knows English and simple Cantonese, yet Ye Qiu is a super freak, speaking English, French, Eastern Ocean language, Italian, Spanish, and now even Ukrainian!

Knowing Ukrainian implies knowing Russian; the two aren’t much different.

Just like Mandarin and other regional dialects in the country.

This left Ma Wenwen and the others bewildered.

To say there are geniuses in this world, they believe it, but Ye Qiu is a genius among geniuses. They have no clue when Ye Qiu found the time to learn Ukrainian.

"When did you learn it?" Ma Wenwen curiously asked again.

"It’s said to be inherent; who goes out of their way to learn it?"

Ye Qiu has said so before, yet Ma Wenwen and the others simply don’t believe it.
