Kenneth Osborne felt that this was one of the best days in his 22-year existence.
He took Lawrence Winters to their frequent spot, the East Gate Cantonese restaurant, and got a small private room.
However, after they entered the room, he remembered Francis Johnson's unpredictable ways. He didn't mention a word about any dealings between him and Francis and simply said, "Today I got my first angel investment, I'm treating you to abalone."
Lawrence Winters: "..."
"...Kenneth, just how rich did you get? Treating me to abalone? You're flying high..." Lawrence joked with a smile and added, "I want stewed Ji Pin abalone with ribs, I heard it's particularly delicious."
"What a coincidence? I just called and had them start stewing it." Kenneth laughed while pouring Lawrence a cup of jasmine tea. "This dish takes half an hour in a pressure cooker, at least a day if cooked slowly on low heat."
