Come to Eat

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

Seeing Zhuang Xin standing there blankly, Qu Hongyun waved his hand in front of him.

"If you feel it's too much work, you can go once every month or two. You need to learn to delegate. You don't have to do everything yourself; you can definitely find people to manage things for you. You just need to give orders and decide the direction."

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

Zhuang Xin finally snapped back to reality, let out a dry laugh, and then said with a smile, "So, I'll be managing all of this from now on? I can do whatever I want? But... what if I lose money?"

"Lose money? Haha, Young Master Zhuang is joking. It doesn't matter even if you go into debt; your family will handle it then."

"Alright."

Zhuang Xin nodded, holding the five signed contracts, and waved at a taxi by the roadside.

"Oh dear, look at my memory!" Qu Hongyun slapped his forehead. "Tomorrow, Young Master Zhuang, you can go to the 'Wenchang' auto show. If you see any car you like, just mention my name, and they'll arrange it on the spot for you to drive away."

"That good?" Zhuang Xin was surprised, but then gradually accepted this kind of life.

Afterward, Qu Hongyun pulled Zhuang Xin aside and showered him with flattery. Having never experienced such treatment, Zhuang Xin was dazzled by the praise.

"Young Master Zhuang has an extraordinary aura. Look at this 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 was good at reading people, immediately laughed it off. "It's getting late. How about, Young Master Zhuang... I have someone drive you back?"

"Okay."

Too much flattery could become boring.

After Zhuang Xin agreed, a Lincoln stretch limousine arrived as arranged by Qu Hongyun. Upon entering, he found a table inside, and two scantily clad girls standing within, bowing respectfully. "Hello, Young Master Zhuang."

"Hello." Zhuang Xin glanced at the car's interior decoration and was utterly amazed.

Indeed, the lives of the rich are this 'simple and unpretentious'.

"Young Master Zhuang, would you like a drink? Before you got in the car, General Manager Qu specifically arranged for someone to open a bottle of wine worth over a hundred thousand for you."

"Over a hundred thousand? Pfft... then I'll have a little."

Honestly, Zhuang Xin had never tasted wine worth over a hundred thousand. He wondered what it would be like.

However, for Zhuang Xin, who didn't drink much, the hundred-thousand-dollar wine tasted... pretty much the same as ordinary wine. If there was any difference...

It was just an added fragrance and a lingering sweetness in his mouth.

Beep beep beep~

Zhuang Xin's phone vibrated. He took out his phone and saw it was the girl he had been chatting with earlier – the same girl who had splashed cold water in his face at the coffee shop. It was because of this girl that Zhuang Xin had been beaten.

"Brother Zhuang Xin, where are you?"

"In the car."

"I splashed water on your face yesterday, you don't mind, right? I was just joking around back then, but I thought about it last night, and the joke was a bit too much. I specifically came to apologize to you, Brother."

"Oh?"

"What? Brother doesn't believe me? How about... how about we meet? I'll wait for you at Mi Xin."

Mi Xin was a rather famous Western restaurant. Zhuang Xin didn't know about other places, but in Juncheng, it was definitely one of the best, with expensive prices, though the service and taste were rumored to be top-notch.

"Let's forget it. There are many good girls in this world, and I don't want to wear a cuckold's hat in the future."

Going on a blind date when she already had a boyfriend – after finding out about this, Zhuang Xin felt disgusted by Wen Yaohe.

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

At Mi Xin Western Restaurant, a meticulously dressed girl directly knocked over a water glass on the table and cursed, "Scumbag... you scumbag, you actually insulted me and don't want to wear a cuckold's hat? I don't believe there's a man who isn't lustful! Once I catch you, I'll make your home uneasy! And I'll spend all your money..."

"Miss, may we serve your food?" A waiter approached, wearing a polite smile.

"Ah..."

Wen Yaohe was startled. She 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.

Just eating a regular meal cost several thousand.

And she had ordered the most expensive items...

Logically, after Zhuang Xin arrived and they had eaten, the man would pay.

But now...

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

"Alright, Miss. If you need your food served, please let me know."

"Okay, okay."

After the waiter left, Wen Yaohe broke out in a cold sweat and directly dialed Li Yao's number.

"Hello, Li Yao..."

"How's it going? Did you manage to get in touch with Young Master Zhuang?"

Li Yao, sitting at home, watched as the staff who had come to move items for auction and were now seizing properties, placed all his hopes on Wen Yaohe.

"No... 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 is it?"

"Eigh... eighty thousand."

"What? Eighty thousand? What did you order? Are you crazy? All my assets have been frozen, I don't have any money, not a single cent."

"No money? If you don't have money, why did you tell me to chase after Young Master Zhuang? What am I supposed to do here? Eighty thousand, even if I sold myself, I can't come up with it right now!" Wen Yaohe shrieked in the quiet restaurant.

The sound made all the successful individuals dining in the restaurant frown, though they refrained from speaking out of politeness.

Wen Yaohe, breaking out in a cold sweat, glanced at the people dining around her.

It was obvious they were all wealthy people; she couldn't afford to offend them, nor did she dare to...

The waiter, hearing her words, narrowed his eyes and walked over to the door, whispering to the security guard, "Keep an eye on that girl. I suspect she's planning to dine and dash. I'll go inform the manager!"

The food had already been prepared and was just waiting to be served; this was all Wen Yaohe's arrangement.

It was too late to cancel now.

"Okay!"

A group of security guards entered the restaurant as if nothing had happened, taking up positions around the room.

However, their gazes, intentionally or unintentionally, were fixed on Wen Yaohe.

Wen Yaohe knew it was her outburst that had alerted them.

Thinking of the little over a thousand yuan she had on her, her face turned ashen. She frantically searched her phone for a wealthy patron.

"General Manager Wang, I'm dining at Mi Xin, do you want to come over? Yes, it's me, Yaohe. Whatever you want tonight is fine."

"General Manager Qin... I miss you. Do you want to come for dinner? What? No time?"

"Boss Lu, it's been a while since we last spoke. Mhmm, yes, I'm at Mi Xin. Do you want to come over? What? You want me to be your girlfriend..."
