Chapter 1059: Shi Chuhe's Dinner

Night fell and the sky grew dark.

As the sun sets, neon lights in the city light up, making the streets and alleys as bright as day.

The streets and alleys were filled with the strong smell of alcohol, rouge and powder, and various entertainment venues were brightly lit and bustling.

The breeze by the river blows gently on the water surface, creating ripples.

The weeping willows on the bank swayed in the wind, like graceful girls dancing. The neon lights on both sides of the river were reflected on the surface of the river, shining against each other, like a dream.

People come and go, their shadows are looming. Some people stroll leisurely along the river bank, enjoying the charming night view; young couples hold hands, relying on each other, enjoying their sweet time; and some children are seriously training their Pokémon.

…………

In a private room of a restaurant overlooking the river.

"Xia Yu, long time no see. Next time we meet, I will have to call you King Xia Tian." Shi Chuhe, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of North China, looked at Xia Yu with a gentle smile on his face.

Shi Chuhe is almost forty years old this year, and is about to enter his fourth decade. But even though he is already in his forties, he is still handsome, with a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and charming mouth, showing the charm and confidence of a mature man. However, he is still slightly inferior to Xia Yu. Sitting on his right is Shi Chuchu.

Shi Chuchu is just in her early thirties this year, which is the most mature and charming age for a woman. Women of this age have just shed their youthfulness and are in the beautiful years of blooming like roses.

For today's dinner, Shi Chuchu and her two daughters had their hair done and bought a set of formal dresses to attend the dinner. They wore low-cut dresses to show off their beautiful figures.

Because she had been in the laboratory for a long time, Shi Chuchu's skin was bright white, only slightly inferior to Sylvia among all the people present.

"Xia Yu, thank you for taking care of Chu Chu over the years." Shi Chuhe picked up the small wine cup on the table and toasted Xia Yu: "I toast you a glass!"

After saying that, Shi Chuhe didn't hesitate to pick up the rich and mellow wine and drank it all.

"King Chuhe, you are too polite." Xia Yu showed a faint smile on his face, and also picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all: "I should be the one thanking you. Your sister has made great contributions to the laboratory in recent years. If it weren't for your sister, the Giant Laboratory would not have achieved its current success."

Everyone is carrying the sedan chair, and although Shi Chuchu has made certain contributions to the Gigantamax Laboratory, it is not to the level that Xia Yu said.

However, since Shi Chuhe gave him so much face, and the two sides had a close cooperative relationship, Xia Yu naturally did not hesitate to praise him.

The Shi family is a family standing at the top of China. Almost every generation has produced four heavenly kings and champions. They also control the Wanbi Group.

Wanbi Group is known as the money printing machine. Its business scope is extremely wide, covering aerospace, real estate, film and television entertainment, high technology, Pokémon and many other fields. Of course, its most famous one is the production of the iron rice bowl Poké Ball.

All genuine numbered Poké Balls in China are produced by the Wanbi Group!

The profit income from this business alone is huge. Of course, the reason why Wanbi Group was able to take over this business is also related to Shi Chuhe’s great-grandfather.

Shi Chuhe’s great-grandfather is a well-known Pokémon doctor and the father of the Poké Ball. He developed the first generation of Poké Ball.

Shi Chuchu's scientific research talent may have been inherited from Shi Chuhe.

However, with the changes of the times, this generation of the Shi family also felt unprecedented pressure.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

In the past, every generation of the Shi family produced champions, so naturally no one dared to attack the Wanbi Group. But by Shi Chuhe's generation, a gap appeared in the Shi family. Shi Chuhe was already the most talented trainer in the Shi family, but he only had the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings!

The Four Heavenly Kings are definitely enough for ordinary families, but they are not enough for the Shi family who controls the Wanbi Group.

Therefore, the Shi family made two preparations. One was to use their own wealth and resources to find as many high-quality Pokémon as possible for the Shi family to prepare for the promotion to champion. The other was to make friends with other champions or young people with championship potential, and seek close cooperation!

It was under such circumstances that the Shi family and Xia Yu established a relationship, and the two sides have maintained close cooperation in recent years.

"Xia Yu, come and try this special dish."

"Not bad." Xia Yu gently picked up a piece, dipped it in the soup, tasted it lightly, and then nodded approvingly.

Although I don’t know what this dish is made of, the meat is fresh, the taste is mellow, and it melts in your mouth. It is obvious that the material is extraordinary.

Xia Yu guessed that this dish should be made with Pokémon, but as for what kind of Pokémon it was, Xia Yu couldn't guess.

However, Xia Yu did not ask about the ingredients. Just eat it. Why ask so many questions?

Xia Yu guessed correctly. All the sumptuous dishes on this table were made with the finest ingredients prepared by professional chefs.

Take the dish that Xia Yu just ate, for example. It was made with the most precious cheek pouches and the most tender tail of the Tibetan chinchilla. Just that one dish required dozens of Tibetan chinchillas.

In addition, there is Kentaro meat on the table, which is made from the tenderest meat of the Fighting Kentaro.

As for the Onion Duck and Slowpoke's tail, although these dishes are also available, the ingredients used are different. The Onion Duck on the table is made with Onion Swarm.

Slowpoke's tail is not made of an ordinary Slowpoke's tail, but is made of Galar Slowpoke's tail. And because Galar Slowpoke's tail contains toxins, it must be bled in advance, and the tail must be cut off with one knife after the toxins are cleaned. The production process is extremely complicated.

However, because of this, Galar Slowpoke's tail tastes the most delicious.

This table of food alone may be the goal that ordinary people need to strive for their entire lives, but for Shi Chuhe and others, as long as he wants, he can eat like this every day.

Of course, for them, eating is actually the least important thing. The reason why they invited Xia Yu to a banquet was to discuss business.

However, there are methods and strategies to discuss things. You can't just sit down at the table and start talking about business. You have to be patient and wait until both the host and the guests are happy before speaking.

Xia Yu also guessed that Shi Chuhe invited him to dinner today because of something, but since Shi Chuhe didn't say anything, he wouldn't take the initiative to speak either.

After all, whoever speaks first will be at a disadvantage.

After three rounds of drinks, the dishes on the table were changed several times, and a lot of wine was drunk, so that everyone's faces were flushed, Shi Chuhe finally spoke.

"Xia Yu, I'm inviting you to dinner today. First, I haven't seen you for a long time. I want to reminisce about the past and thank you for taking care of Chuchu. I'll toast you another glass." Shi Chuhe said this, picked up the wine cup on the table and drank it all. This not only expressed gratitude, but more importantly, it brought the two closer together and paved the way for the second thing to come.

"Secondly, my family has agreed to the matter I mentioned to you last year. We agree to further deepen our cooperation and exchange shares, but we need to discuss the details!"
