Chapter 65 Chen Yue's Dinner with the Buyer

"What? Fifty thousand yuan! Mr. Chen, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Li Ziming stood up instantly, his eyes filled with a mixture of excitement and trepidation.

"Why would I lie to you? Otherwise, why would I ask you out? One question doesn't mean anything. If you can handle these questions, I'll give you similar jobs in the future."

Li Ziming was stunned for a moment, then suddenly bowed repeatedly to Chen Yue.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I will do my best in anything related to history!"

Fifty thousand yuan is equivalent to half a year's salary for him, which is no small amount of money. It's just for researching a few historical issues, which is his greatest interest.

"Okay, the questions are similar to the last one. The first question is: around the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, after being guided by a wise man, Li Chengqian decided to repent and become a qualified crown prince."

What should he do to regain Li Shimin's trust and the support of the entire court?

The second question is: Di Renjie was only ten years old at this time. After being guided by this master, he came into Li Chengqian's sight. How should the two get along?

The third question is: What major events occurred in the Tang Dynasty during the fifteenth year of the Zhenguan era? Please provide the time, cause, process, result, and impact.

That's all we know for now regarding whether Li Chengqian can play a role in these matters. What do you think? Are you confident?

Although some of the information about Chen Yue's question could be found online, it was too troublesome. After all, Chen Yue was not a professional in this field and lacked the ability to grasp some key points.

Why not spend some money to let Li Ziming do it? He'll get the profits, and we'll get the solution; we'll both be satisfied.

Li Ziming listened very attentively and nodded repeatedly.

"No problem at all, Mr. Chen, please rest assured. Leave this to me. I will definitely be able to finish it and hand it over to you in ten days at most. If you are not satisfied or there is anything lacking, I can make changes at any time."

If it still doesn't meet the requirements by the time you specify, then it's because I'm not capable enough.

These problems seem simple, but finding a perfect solution is not so easy. Although they are related to history, in Li Ziming's view, they are more like providing material for some historical time-travel novels.

The answer must be logical and reasonable, and conform to the reality at the time. It is quite difficult to be comprehensive.

"Okay, it's a deal."

Chen Yue was very happy and immediately transferred 10,000 yuan to him as a deposit.

If Chen Yue is satisfied with his subsequent answers, the remaining money will be paid immediately; if not, it's fine, the 10,000 yuan will be considered as a reward for his hard work.

No matter what, we can't let them do so much work for nothing.

Afterwards, Chen Yue subtly inquired about some matters concerning the Tang Dynasty, such as Wang Ji, Li Shimin, and Li Tai.

Li Ziming was very grateful to Chen Yue and shared all his knowledge with him. With his solid professional knowledge, Chen Yue gained a lot, and they chatted for more than an hour before they knew it.

"It's getting late, I have some things to do later, so I'll be going now."

Li Ziming watched Chen Yue's car drive away and excitedly pumped his fist. He was very happy today. On his way home, he bought some good food and a toy that his daughter had wanted for a long time.

"Honey, have you seen that Mr. Tang?"

Li Ziming's home is an 80-square-meter two-bedroom apartment. Today is Sunday, and his wife is at home playing with their daughter. Although life is a bit tough, his wife is virtuous and his daughter is sensible and well-behaved, so he is happy.

"Yuanyuan, look what Daddy bought."

Li Ziming smiled and nodded to his wife, then held the toy high in the air.

"Wow! It's Princess Elsa! Daddy, give it to me!"

The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she happily hugged his leg, jumping and skipping.

"Honey, what did Boss Tang say to you? Why are you so happy?"

Li Ziming picked up his daughter, kissed her on the cheek, and then looked at his wife and said.

"Honey, you'd never guess. This Boss Tang is very young, and his surname is Chen. From now on, you should call him General Manager Chen..."

Li Ziming shared the good news with his wife. When she heard that there was still 50,000 yuan to be earned, and that the other party had given her another 10,000 yuan as a deposit, she was very happy.

Having this 50,000 yuan would be a great help to their small family.

"Mr. Chen's question is very interesting. I don't think it's too difficult. I'll leave the household to you these days. I'll start preparing after I get off work."

Mr. Chen said that if I do well, there will be many more opportunities like this in the future. I don't ask for that many; three or four times a year would be enough for me.

"Don't worry about things at home, just focus on doing what Mr. Chen asked you to do."

Chen Yue was unaware of their family's situation. He simply had the driver take him back to the Calligraphy Building. The dinner party was scheduled to start at seven o'clock, and with two or three hours to spare, Chen Yue took out his phone and started scrolling through it.

Around 6:10, Tang Guojun's message arrived.

"Xiao Yue, I've already sent someone to pick you up. It should take about ten minutes to get to the building. Get ready."

Chen Yue gave an "OK" sign, went to the bathroom, used the restroom, picked up his phone and room key, and left.

After waiting for a while on the reception sofa in the lobby on the first floor, a man in his thirties walked towards him.

"Hello Mr. Chen, I am Wang Wei, Mr. Tang's driver."

"Let's go."

The restaurant we're having dinner at tonight is called "Zheng Family Cuisine." The name sounds like a small restaurant, but that's a big mistake.

This is one of the top private kitchens in Nanjing, located at the foot of Lion Mountain. Most people probably haven't even heard of it.

They only serve ten tables of guests a day. The owner's surname is Zheng. His ancestors were imperial chefs in the palace. The dishes they make are not only delicious, but also made with the finest ingredients. Combined with their ancestral cooking skills, the dishes are both tasty and healthy.

Upon entering the private room, besides Tang Guojun, there were three other strangers he didn't recognize. They all looked over when Chen Yue pushed the door open and entered.

"This must be Old Master Chen's grandson. Hello, my name is Li Da."

A man who looked a bit older than Tang Guojun immediately stood up and extended his hands to Chen Yue with a big smile.

Li Da, from the Hairui Group, was one of the buyers of the old man's notebook.

The other two also introduced themselves. All three of their names appeared in the notebook. They didn't need Tang Guojun to introduce them; they took the initiative to greet him, and their attitude was extremely polite.

"Old Zhou and Old Liu are a bit stuck in traffic, they should be there soon. Let's sit down first. Xiao Yue, want a cigarette?"

Li Da, who was tall and thin, warmly pulled Chen Yue to sit down next to him.

Chen Yue didn't stand on ceremony, took the cigarette from him and lit it. Although he wasn't addicted to cigarettes, he would smoke occasionally.

"Li Da, why are you acting like you're the host?"

Tang Guojun was speechless at the sight, but Li Da didn't care at all and just rolled his eyes at him.

"It's not that I can't host, I'd be very happy to treat Xiao Yue to a meal."

Another, slightly overweight man exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at Tang Guojun.

"Hey Tang, don't try to act innocent after getting a good deal. Old Master Chen's mountain goods trading has reopened, and you didn't even inform us before secretly buying all those goods. You have no sense of morality at all."

"That's right, I even got scolded by my father for this."
