Boyfriend Power

Leaving the sales office, the three of them headed to the parking lot.

Gu Xiaoman had noticed Su Yang's Porsche when she picked them up earlier. Turning to him, she smiled and asked, "I didn't drive today. How many people can your car fit?"

"Four. There are two spots in the back, but they're a bit tight. I might have to ask you to squeeze in a bit."

Gu Xiaoman glanced at the car and chuckled, "It's fine. It's not like we're going on a long trip. Let's go."

Gu Xiaoman owned a Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 herself. At her age, being able to buy a car worth around 400,000 yuan on her own already put her ahead of most of her peers.

Therefore, she was more knowledgeable about cars than Zhao Mengrou. She was also very fond of the 911 turbos.

However, at a price of 3 million yuan, it was still a bit difficult for her to afford one. But even if she had to squeeze, she'd be willing to ride in a car like this.

Su Yang smiled and walked to the car first, opening the door. After the three of them got in, Zhao Mengrou asked, "What are we eating?"

"Do you guys have any recommendations? As a guy, I don't really eat out much, so I don't know what's good."

"Let me check," Zhao Mengrou said, pulling out her phone to search.

"How about that Japanese barbecue place on Donghe Road? What do you think?" Zhao Mengrou turned to Gu Xiaoman in the back seat.

Gu Xiaoman, being a woman, didn't feel too cramped in the back of the 911. She thought for a moment with her big eyes and said, "Sure. I've been there once, and the taste was pretty good, though it's a bit pricey."

"It's fine. What's a little expensive? A young master like Su who can spend millions without a second thought would hardly care about the cost of a meal?"

Su Yang grinned at her words, "Yeah, Sister Xiaoman, you don't need to save money for me. Eat whatever you want. But are you sure you want to go to this place?"

"We're sure."

"Alright, let's go!"

Vroom—

The engine roared to life, and Su Yang drove the two of them towards their destination.

It was rush hour, and since it was Saturday, the roads were very congested.

About forty minutes later, the three of them arrived at the Japanese barbecue restaurant Zhao Mengrou mentioned and parked the car.

As soon as the three of them got out of the car, some young men passing by cast envious and jealous glances at Su Yang.

"Quick, look, the goddess!"

"Where? Holy crap!"

"Who is this guy? He's got two stunners with him?"

"Damn it, why isn't that guy me?"

"Take a look at what car he's driving first. If you could drive that car, you could have the same beauties."

"A 911? What's so special about that? Hai City has plenty of luxury cars."

"Do you have one?"

"Well, I don't..."

"Then what are you talking about!"

Su Yang chuckled inwardly as he looked at the crowd not far away.

This feeling of effortlessly showing off was just too good.

The three of them walked towards the restaurant entrance side by side.

On a dark wooden wall at the entrance, two large characters, "Wangshan," were written. A wooden plank extended from the wall, adorned with many empty wine bottles for decoration. Next to the wall was a staircase leading upwards.

The three of them went up, one after another, and entered the restaurant. The overall environment was elegant and grand, simple yet sophisticated.

The interior was mainly decorated in a Japanese retro style, with various types of wood paired with dark marble walls, giving it a high-end feel.

There were already many people dining in the restaurant. Although crowded, it didn't feel noisy.

"Welcome, how many people?" a waiter politely approached the three of them.

"Three. Do you have any available tables?"

"It's peak dining hours right now, so you might need to take a number and wait in line."

"Okay."

Su Yang went to the front desk to get a number. The waiter then led the three of them to a row of seating in the waiting area.

The waiting area was almost full, with young men and women dressed in trendy fashion chatting and laughing.

"I should have made a reservation in advance," Su Yang said, looking at the crowd.

"It's okay. This place is usually crowded, especially on a weekend. We can just wait, we're not in a hurry," Zhao Mengrou said, taking out her phone and opening Douyin to scroll.

Not long after the three of them sat down, a young man wearing a casual suit walked over from not far away.

He walked through the crowd and directly to Su Yang's group. He then adjusted his collar and looked at Zhao Mengrou, smiling politely, "Hello, beautiful. May I have your WeChat to get to know you?"

"Huh?" Zhao Mengrou frowned and looked up. "Who are you?"

"I'm also here to dine. I saw you guys come up from a distance and felt you had a great aura, so I wanted to get acquainted."

"Uh, thanks, but no thanks. I don't add strangers on WeChat."

The man smiled, undeterred. He continued, "We've already spoken twice, so we're not strangers anymore, right?"

"I really want to get to know a beautiful lady."

Just as Zhao Mengrou was about to refuse again, Su Yang gave her a look, signaling for him to handle it.

He then twisted his neck, stood up, and looked at the man in the suit.

The moment he stood up, a fierce aura surged forth.

After all, he was now a solid muscle man. Although it wasn't obvious when he was wearing clothes, the overall physical contrast was quite apparent.

Moreover, his appearance was on the rugged side. Combined with his well-built physique, the aura he exuded was enough to intimidate most people.

He looked at the man in front of him with a serious expression and uttered a single word: "Scram!"

"Who are you?"

"I'll say it one last time: Scram."

The man in the suit looked at Su Yang, who was two sizes bigger than him, and felt a bit intimidated. He had just wanted to get her WeChat and leave, but he hadn't expected Su Yang, who was beside Zhao Mengrou, to be so assertive. Looking at Su Yang's fists, which were the size of sandbags, he thought that if one of those hit his nose, his bridge would be shattered.

He swallowed and, with some reluctance, stole another glance at Zhao Mengrou before turning to leave.

After the man left, Su Yang's expression changed, and he returned to his usual cheerful demeanor, sitting back down.

"Dealt with him."

"Wow, Su Yang, you were absolutely amazing just now! Such boyfriend power!"

Gu Xiaoman said, her eyes shining as she looked at Su Yang.

"Really?" Su Yang smiled proudly. "I've seen plenty of guys like him. 'Wanting to get to know you' is just a polite way of saying they're perverts."

"Besides, you two are my guests. He acted like he couldn't even see me, which is basically looking down on me."

Zhao Mengrou's good impression of Su Yang increased uncontrollably after that incident.

She looked at Su Yang and said, feigning calmness, "You looked really fierce just now."

"If I wasn't fierce, how could I scare people? Men should be a bit fierce when they need to be. What kind of man hides behind a woman, right?"

"Exactly! Perfect!" Gu Xiaoman winked at Su Yang.

[Ding! Detected Gu Xiaoman's favorability towards host has increased to 42 (Familiar). Rewarded host with 388,000. Funds have been transferred to the host's bank account.]

Su Yang heard the voice in his mind and smiled subtly.

Gu Xiaoman is really different after work. She's clearly more relaxed. I wonder what she'll be like after a few drinks.

Half an hour later, the store's voice announcement finally called out Su Yang's party's number.

A server led the three of them into the restaurant and to a four-person table by the window.

The two girls sat together, with Su Yang sitting opposite them.

The server handed each of them a menu.

"Order whatever you like, don't be shy."

"I wouldn't be shy even if you didn't say so," Zhao Mengrou said with a smile as she looked through the menu.

The three of them ordered dishes that sounded delicious just by their names. Ten minutes later, two servers pushed food carts and began placing the dishes on the table.

Looking at the dazzling array of food on the table, Su Yang swallowed.

Japanese original cut wagyu, Sangcras purebred black pork ribs, French bone-in lamb chops, bluefin tuna belly, sea bream sashimi, foie gras with black truffle, sweet shrimp, an 8-jin Boston lobster, hairy crabs, seafood Tom Yum Goong...

He had basically never eaten most of these things before. Although he could have afforded them if he really wanted to, with his salary of just a few thousand yuan a month, he couldn't spend his entire month's wages on a single meal.

"The dishes are all served. Please enjoy. If you need anything, you can press the service bell on the table."

Su Yang nodded. "Okay, thank you."

As he spoke, Gu Xiaoman and Zhao Mengrou had already started placing some raw meat on the grill.

"By the way, didn't you want to have some drinks?" Zhao Mengrou asked, picking up a lamb chop.

Before Su Yang could reply, Gu Xiaoman chimed in, "What's good to drink here? This is a place to eat, so let's just eat, right?"

As she spoke, she winked her beautiful big eyes at Su Yang.

Su Yang smiled in agreement. "Exactly. If you want to drink, you have to go to a bar. This place doesn't have the right atmosphere."

Zhao Mengrou looked at the two of them and smiled helplessly. "Alright, you two decide."

Forty minutes later, the three of them were full and satisfied. Su Yang went to the counter to pay the bill.

The total came to 7,755 yuan.
