Come Eat

"Young Master Zhuang, Young Master Zhuang..."

Seeing Zhuang Xin standing there foolishly, Qu Hongyun waved a hand in front of his eyes.

"If you find it tiring, you can visit once every month or two. You need to learn how to delegate instead of doing everything yourself. You can completely hire people to manage things for you. All you need to do is give orders and decide the direction."

"Oh... oh, oh, oh..."

Zhuang Xin finally came back to his senses. After giving a dry laugh, he said with a smile, "I'll be managing all this from now on? I can do whatever I want? But... what if I lose money?"

"Lose money? Hahaha, Young Master Zhuang, you must be joking. Even if you end up in debt, it doesn't matter. Your family will handle it when the time comes."

"All right."

Zhuang Xin nodded, held the five signed contracts, and waved down a taxi by the roadside.

"Oh my, look at my memory!" Qu Hongyun slapped his forehead. "Tomorrow, Young Master Zhuang, go to the Wen Chang Auto Show. Whatever car catches your eye, just give them my name. They'll arrange everything on the spot and let you drive it away."

"It's that good?" After his initial surprise, Zhuang Xin gradually began accepting this kind of life.

Afterward, Qu Hongyun showered Zhuang Xin with flattery, leaving someone who had never enjoyed such treatment utterly dazzled.

"Young Master Zhuang has an extraordinary presence. With that physique, even if you entered a bodybuilding competition, you'd definitely take first place."

As he spoke, he seemed to notice Zhuang Xin's impatience. Qu Hongyun, who knew how to read people, immediately laughed. "It's getting late. How about it, Young Master Zhuang... shall I have someone take you home?"

"Sure."

Too much flattery got boring too.

After Zhuang Xin agreed, Qu Hongyun arranged for a Lincoln Limousine to pull up. Once Zhuang Xin stepped inside, he found that it even had a table, along with two scantily dressed girls standing within. They bowed respectfully. "Hello, Young Master Zhuang."

"Hello." Zhuang Xin glanced over the interior decoration, utterly astonished.

Sure enough, the lives of the rich were simply so "plain and unpretentious."

"Young Master Zhuang, would you like some wine? Before you got in, General Manager Qu specifically had someone open a bottle of red wine worth over a hundred thousand for you."

"Over a hundred thousand? Pfft... then give me some."

To be honest, Zhuang Xin had never tasted wine worth over a hundred thousand before.

But for someone like Zhuang Xin, who rarely drank, wine worth over a hundred thousand seemed... no different from ordinary wine. If there really was a difference...

It had a richer fragrance and a lingering sweetness in his mouth.

Beep beep beep~

Zhuang Xin's phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was the girl he had chatted with before—the girl from the café who had splashed a cup of cold boiled water all over his face. It was because of this girl that Zhuang Xin had been beaten up.

"Brother Zhuang Xin, where are you?"

"In the car."

"I splashed water all over your face yesterday. You're not upset about it, are you? I was only joking at the time, but after thinking about it last night, I realized I'd gone too far. I came specifically to apologize to you, Brother."

"Oh?"

"What, you don't believe me? How about... how about we meet? I'm waiting for you at Mi Xin."

Mi Xin was a fairly famous Western restaurant. Zhuang Xin did not know about other places, but in Juncheng, it was absolutely among the best. It was expensive, but he had heard that both its service and food were top-notch.

"I'd better pass. There are plenty of good girls in this world. I don't want to wear a green hat in the future."

She had a boyfriend yet still came out on blind dates. Ever since learning that, Zhuang Xin had found Wen Yaohe disgusting.

After blocking her outright, Zhuang Xin opened a video app and started watching videos.

At Mi Xin Western Restaurant, a carefully dressed girl knocked the glass on the table straight onto the floor and cursed, "Bastard... you bastard! You actually insulted me and said you didn't want to wear a green hat? I refuse to believe there's any man who isn't lustful! Once I win you over, I'll make sure your household never knows peace! And I'll spend all your money too..."

"Miss, may we serve the dishes now?" A waiter approached with a polite smile on his face.

"Ah..."

Wen Yaohe jumped in fright and casually glanced at the bill on the table. To invite Zhuang Xin, she had ordered quite a few dishes.

The food here was frighteningly expensive.

Even an ordinary meal would cost several thousand.

Not to mention that she had ordered only the most expensive dishes...

Logically, once Zhuang Xin arrived and they had eaten, the man would definitely pay the bill.

But now...

"You... wait... my friend hasn't arrived yet."

"Certainly, Miss. If you would like the dishes served, please let me know."

"O-okay."

After the waiter left, Wen Yaohe broke out in a cold sweat and immediately called Li Yao.

"Hello, Li Yao..."

"How did it go? Did you manage to invite Young Master Zhuang?"

Li Yao was sitting at home, watching the staff who had come to remove belongings for auction and seal up the property. He had placed all his hopes on Wen Yaohe.

"N-no. Something unexpected happened. And... and I'm at Mi Xin. Young Master Zhuang didn't come, and I don't have money to pay the bill."

"Pay the bill? How much?"

"E-eighty thousand."

"What? Eighty thousand? What did you order? Are you crazy? All my assets have been frozen now. I have no money at all, not a single cent."

"No money? Then why did you tell me to pursue Young Master Zhuang? What am I supposed to do here? Eighty thousand—I couldn't come up with that much even if you sold me!" In the quiet restaurant, Wen Yaohe let out a shrill scream.

It made all the successful people dining in the restaurant frown, though none of them spoke due to their manners.

Wen Yaohe was also so frightened that cold sweat streamed down her face. She glanced at the diners around her.

They were obviously all wealthy people. She could not afford to offend them, nor did she dare to...

The waiter heard her words, narrowed his eyes, and walked to the entrance. He whispered to a security guard, "Keep an eye on that girl. I suspect she's trying to dine and dash. I'll notify the manager!"

The food had already been prepared and was only waiting to be served. This had been arranged by Wen Yaohe herself.

It was already too late to cancel it.

"Understood!"

A group of security guards all entered the restaurant and stood around as though nothing had happened.

Yet their eyes kept drifting toward Wen Yaohe, intentionally or otherwise.

Wen Yaohe naturally knew that her scream had alerted them.

Thinking of how she had only a little over a thousand on her, her face went deathly pale as she frantically searched her phone for a sucker.

"General Manager Wang, I'm eating at Mi Xin. Are you coming over? Yes, it's me, Yaohe. You can do whatever you want tonight."

"General Manager Qin... I miss you. Do you want to come eat? What? You don't have time?"

"Boss Lu, you haven't contacted me in so long. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, I'm at Mi Xin. Would you like to come over? What? You want me to be your girlfriend..."
