After the private room door closed, Bai Miaomiao slowly stood up and looked Su Yi up and down.
There was no denying that this young man seemed to possess a distinctive air. She had also learned from Bai Qingyan that Su Yi seemed to have some knowledge of ancient writing.
At such a young age, he had actually made the former president of Qingzhou University willingly become his disciple.
"What are you looking at?" Su Yi interrupted her thoughts and declared righteously, "Miss Bai, my talents are for sale, not my body."
Pah!
Bai Miaomiao nearly spat in his face. Such a thick hide was a rare sight.
"Pretend to be my boyfriend for a while and come to a few meals with me. In the end, we'll break up over incompatibility." Bai Miaomiao fought back the urge to beat Su Yi up. "As for payment, name your price. Anything is fine as long as it isn't too outrageous!"
Su Yi learned things extremely quickly and knew that what people now called boyfriends and girlfriends were what had previously been called lovers.
Although he had yet to make a move on Lin Yiyun, he certainly would not do something like tearing down his own Great Wall.
"Meals are fine, but I won't agree to pretend to be your boyfriend," Su Yi answered bluntly.
Pretend to be her boyfriend? If Lin Yiyun misunderstood, wouldn't that throw everything into chaos?
Su Yi disdained doing such things for money.
Bai Miaomiao truly had not expected a male escort who drank with wealthy middle-aged women here to turn down such a cushy job.
Wasn't pretending to be her boyfriend better than keeping those wealthy women in their thirties and forties company?
The pay would be much higher too!
"A hundred thousand a month!"
Bai Miaomiao still firmly believed that everyone had their price. What she proposed was hardly difficult, and she did not believe someone like Su Yi would refuse.
After all, people in his line of work should have already set aside their dignity as men and devoted themselves solely to money.
"Two hundred thousand! Don't push your luck!" Bai Miaomiao gritted her teeth and stared at Su Yi. If she had not needed to deal with her family, and had not been just a little interested in Su Yi, why would she do something like this?
Su Yi shook his head firmly. "I told you, meals are fine. Pretending to be your boyfriend is out of the question!"
This was no longer the first time he had refused her, and Bai Miaomiao really was getting angry.
"Fine! Then don't talk during the meal! A thousand per meal!" Bai Miaomiao could no longer be bothered to pretend they were a couple. As long as Su Yi kept quiet after she brought him back and buried himself in his food at the table, that would do!
"Who talks when there's food?" Su Yi chuckled, looking at Bai Miaomiao as though she were an idiot.
A beautiful CEO like Bai Miaomiao had never been looked at like that in her life.
Su Yi was clearly saying, "Are you more appealing than food? I can't even be bothered to talk to you."
"Then that's settled! Give me your number! You have to come whenever I call!" Bai Miaomiao took a deep breath. She felt she could not keep talking to Su Yi. If this went on, he might just anger her to death.
"Add me on WeChat!" Su Yi took out his phone and deftly brought up his QR code. "Pay before the meal. I keep fairly regular eating hours, so I can't come whenever you call. You can call me for breakfast in the morning. Lunch and dinner go without saying. Afternoon tea and snacks are fine too. At night... a late-night snack works too!"
Bai Miaomiao scanned his QR code and shot him a fierce glare. He called that keeping regular eating hours?
Regular, her ass!
Su Yi thought this job was actually pretty good.
Someone would treat him to meals and even pay him beforehand.
Considering how rich Bai Miaomiao was, the food she ate probably wouldn't taste too bad.
A deal like that really was hard to refuse.
After adding him on WeChat, Bai Miaomiao strode out of the private room and slammed the door behind her.
She truly could not understand why her grandfather wanted her to get close to Su Yi. Dealing with someone like him was simply unbearable.
When Su Yi came out of the private room, He Liao was already waiting by the door. "Brother Su, are you all right?"
"What could possibly be wrong?" Su Yi's eyes were clear, without the slightest trace of drunkenness, and he was all smiles.
He Liao was one step away from bowing to Su Yi with clasped hands. Was this guy an immortal?
"Brother Su, another table outside is asking for you." He Liao had worked here for nearly two years. From an inexperienced waiter to a little prince of the drinking scene, what hadn't he seen? Yet these past two days had truly opened his eyes.
Su Yi's capacity for liquor went without saying. He Liao already admired him enough to prostrate himself.
But wasn't Su Yi a little too well-connected?
First, a wealthy woman like Gao Yun had taken a fancy to him at first sight. Then an ultimate rich, fair-skinned beauty like Bai Miaomiao had come looking for him.
And it wasn't over yet. A table of rich young men had now arrived outside, explicitly asking for Su Yi.
"Someone else is looking for me?" Su Yi was rather curious. Surely not everyone knew he was working at the bar?
Yu Guoan and those other old fellows probably wouldn't come.
His divine sense instinctively swept through the bar, and Su Yi could not help smiling.
Another young man seeking revenge?
As soon as Bai Miaomiao left the private room, she spotted Yu Xinghe and his little band of followers.
Bai Miaomiao had more or less watched Yu Xinghe grow up. After chatting with him briefly, she had been about to leave, but when she heard that he was here to find Su Yi, she simply sat down at his table.
"Sister Bai, are you here for that Su guy too?" The mere mention of Su Yi made Yu Xinghe grit his teeth. He started by throwing a basin of dirty water over him. "That guy is a total scumbag. I think my sister must have fallen for his tricks, and he's also tangled up with Lin Yiyun from our university. You need to be careful around someone like him."
"Your sister is his girlfriend?" Bai Miaomiao suddenly became a little more interested in Su Yi. Yesterday, it had been Yu Huiyin who brought her to the bar.
The Yu and Bai families had been friends for generations. There was no question that Yu Huiyin was outstanding. Only in her third year of university, she was already showing signs of outshining all the other beauties. How could someone like Yu Huiyin fall for Su Yi?
"Probably not yet!" Yu Xinghe said. "But something seems a little off about their relationship. Think about it. Someone like my sister actually spent an entire day shopping with that Su guy, and she even ordered me to buy things for him."
Everyone in their circle knew that Yu Xinghe and his sister were as close as could be. Although he was afraid of Yu Huiyin, she had doted on her little brother since childhood.
"Then what are you here to do?" Bai Miaomiao asked, narrowing her eyes with a smile. "Are you planning to warn Su Yi to stay away from your sister?"
"That's part of it," Yu Xinghe said. "At university, I really can't do much to him, but outside, it's a different story. I've thought about it for a long time. I can't let that Su guy stay in Qingzhou!"
"You have my support!" Bai Miaomiao was also someone who feared nothing more than a world without chaos. She was very curious about Su Yi. Someone who could attract the attention of the Yu, Bai, and Ye families ought to have something extraordinary about him. Yet so far, aside from finding him particularly annoying and exceptionally good at drinking, she truly had not discovered any strengths.
Others might not dare act recklessly, but this young master of the Yu family feared neither heaven nor earth. Having him probe Su Yi's depths would be a good idea too.
