The Whole Place Is Booked

Chapter 45: The Whole Thing is Covered (Four Updates)

Inside the Emperor's Private Room at Tianfu Restaurant.

Fan Yu was feasting, while by his side, Su Xi ate demurely.

"Young Master Fan, Miss Su, how do you find the dishes today?"

Chen Zhifeng, the owner of Tianfu Restaurant, personally brought in dishes.

Fan Yu nodded, "Not bad. The chef hired by Boss Chen is excellent."

"Haha, of course. Chef Li is a renowned chef in the industry," Chen Zhifeng said with a laugh as he placed the dishes on the table. He then pondered for a moment and asked, "May I ask, Miss Su and Young Master Fan, about Director Su's restaurant matter..."

Chen Zhifeng hadn't forgotten what Su Tianlong had promised him last time. It was a profitable business, and he couldn't miss out.

Su Xi replied, "Don't worry, Boss Chen. We won't forget what we promised you. Since you're free, prepare the contract. When the time comes, transfer the investment funds to me, and the 20% shares will be yours."

"Great, thank you, Miss Su."

After speaking, Chen Zhifeng left happily. This was a big deal, and he couldn't help but be excited.

The restaurant was set to invest 1.5 billion, and he was to invest 500 million for a 20% stake. However, Chen Zhifeng had no objections. After all, this was a guaranteed money-making venture, and Su Tianlong was helping him earn money. Investing a little more was nothing.

In front of Tianfu Restaurant, a majestic George Patton slowly stopped. A young man with a slightly pale complexion, looking like he had indulged too much, emerged from the car.

He was accompanied by two intimidating bodyguards.

An usher was about to greet them when he was pushed aside by one of the bodyguards.

Seeing such a display, all the ushers and waiters dared not approach.

Manager Sun from the lobby cautiously approached, "Sir, do you have a reservation?"

"Where are Fan Yu and Su Xi?" Lu Yi asked with a frown.

"They're in Room 307, on the 14th floor."

Manager Sun replied quickly. Anyone who could call Fan Yu and Su Xi by name was someone he absolutely could not afford to offend.

Upon arriving at the 14th floor, the door to Room 307 was pushed open. Lu Yi walked in, saw Fan Yu and Su Xi, and sneered as he sat down.

"Speak. What do you want me for?"

Fan Yu put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and smiled, "I heard Young Master Lu is a big shot in the capital?"

Lu Yi chuckled, "Stop with the pleasantries, Young Master. Wang Hu should have fallen into your hands by now, right? You called me here about last night?"

"I'm telling you, last night's events had nothing to do with me. Wang Hu acted on his own. I was just the bookie, making a little money from racing."

"Young Master Lu, that's not exactly 'a little money.' It seems that since Skoff arrived in China, he's earned hundreds of millions from these underground races, hasn't he?"

Fan Yu was right. Skoff had participated in twenty-one underground races since arriving in China, winning every single one. The stakes for each race were at least ten million, so hundreds of millions were definitely earned.

"So what? I won the money with my own skills. Do you have a problem with that?" Lu Yi glanced at Fan Yu disdainfully.

Fan Yu shook his head, "No, no, no. What are you saying, Young Master Lu? You're a big shot from the capital. I wouldn't dare have a problem. However, you do owe me the money I won, don't you?"

"People should at least have integrity. As a distinguished figure like Young Master Lu, you wouldn't go back on such a small debt, would you?"

Lu Yi sneered, "How do I know if you actually won? Wang Hu didn't tell me the details of what happened."

Hearing Lu Yi's words, Fan Yu slowly let go of his smile. "Young Master Lu, I'm calling you Young Master out of respect. Don't push your luck. I'm a man of rules. If I lose, I admit it. If I win, no one can refuse to pay. If you don't pay, perhaps returning to the capital will be a bit troublesome for you."

"Hmph, you're joking. This is a society governed by law. I don't believe you can do anything to me." Lu Yi said dismissively.

Fan Yu nodded, "Indeed. In a society governed by law, I can't do anything to you. However, illegally operating a gambling den is very troublesome if it gets out. Especially with such a large sum of illicit funds, even your family might have difficulty intervening. According to the law, it's enough to sentence you to ten or eight years. Moreover, Wang Hu has confessed everything. You can't deny it even if you wanted to."

"Are you threatening me?" Lu Yi's expression turned grim, and he gritted his teeth.

Fan Yu waved his hand, "I'm not. I'm a law-abiding citizen. I just discovered illegal activity, and I have to report it, don't I? I can't condone or cover it up."

"Fine, here's a check for 200 million. Can I leave now?" Lu Yi took a deep breath, took out a check, and said with a sneer.

Fan Yu shook his head, "Not enough. My principal was 10 million, and I was also kidnapped last night and suffered emotional distress. My mental damages should be at least 90 million. That makes it 300 million in total. Young Master Lu won't disagree, will he?"

"Fine, you're ruthless." After speaking, Lu Yi took out another check and signed for another 100 million. Combined with the previous check, it totaled 300 million.

"Please go slowly, Young Master Lu. No need to see you out," Fan Yu said, gesturing for him to leave.

Lu Yi gave Fan Yu a deep look and turned to leave. Getting into his car, Lu Yi's expression was extremely unpleasant.

"Fan Yu, I'll get even with you sooner or later."

Standing on the upper floor, watching Lu Yi's car drive away, Fan Yu flicked the check and said, "Let's go spend some money."

Driving the Maybach 70S, Fan Yu and Su Xi arrived at Guiren Jewelry Store.

Guiren Jewelry Store was the largest chain jewelry store in Hua Country, fully stocked with jade and jewelry, making it the most comprehensive jewelry shop.

"Welcome."

The electric glass door opened, and Fan Yu and Su Xi walked in.

"Pick whatever you like, we have the money," Fan Yu said with a smile to Su Xi.

The two of them were just out to kill time. Anyway, the renovation of the restaurant was proceeding smoothly, and it could open once the renovation was completed.

"Bring me your jewelry catalog," Su Xi said calmly, sitting in a chair in the VIP room.

The sales associate who received Fan Yu and Su Xi sensed Su Xi's noble aura and dared not be negligent, quickly going to fetch the catalog.

Su Xi took the catalog and began flipping through it.

Her eyes lit up when she saw a necklace inlaid with colorful diamonds.

"What is this?" Su Xi asked, pointing at the necklace.

The sales associate introduced, "This is the Star of Hope, which our boss just acquired at an auction in South Africa."

"It's said that this diamond is a newly discovered rare type, and it has only appeared a few times in the world so far."

"After expert research, it was named the Colorful Sacred Diamond. Previously produced Colorful Sacred Diamonds were all bought by royalty and nobility in North America."

"This batch of Colorful Sacred Diamonds has finally come to the distributors for auction."

Fan Yu took a closer look and indeed felt the necklace was quite beautiful. It was just that with its myriad colors, anyone unfamiliar with gems would probably think it was fake.

Even a thief, upon seeing it, would likely not bother stealing it.

He glanced at the price: 88,888,888 yuan.

"Is this necklace in your store?" Fan Yu asked.

The sales associate nodded. "It is. Since this is our main branch, the boss keeps everything here."

"How many do you have?"

The sales associate shook her head. "Sir, for such a rare diamond, it's already quite good for our store to have one set.

Moreover, rarity makes it precious. With this lady being so beautiful, only this unique set can match her temperament.

Fan Yu smiled slightly. "You're quite eloquent. Alright, bring it for me to see. You can prepare the receipt."

After Fan Yu finished speaking, Su Xi started picking out more items.

Anyway, Fan Yu told her to buy to her heart's content, so how could an 80-million-yuan necklace be enough?

An imperial green jadeite jewelry set, 190 million yuan. A naturally formed agate brooch with a Buddha image, 10 million yuan.

And a string of blessed jadeite prayer beads, 30 million yuan.

These four items were considered the treasures of Guiren Jewelry, but Su Xi bought them all.

The sales associate was extremely shocked at this point, her breathing even becoming a little difficult. These two were too extravagant!

Over 300 million yuan spent just like that?

Buying so many items at once was beyond her authority, so she directly called for the manager.

The manager also felt overwhelmed and called the boss back.

"Haha, honored guests have graced our presence, truly illuminating our humble abode. I am Li Fugui, greetings to you both."

A tall, ordinary-looking middle-aged man pushed open the VIP room door and walked in.

The store manager had told him earlier that someone had bought all his store's treasures, which had also shocked him. He had hastily bid farewell to a client and rushed back.

He had expected some well-known VIP, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be two young people.

After observing Fan Yu and Su Xi, he felt their demeanor was extraordinary and began to treat them with due seriousness.

"Mr. Li, you're too kind. Since you're back, please process the transaction quickly."

"I'll take everything I've chosen," Fan Yu said with a smile.
