88: straying into the tiger's den
Chen Menglin smiled shyly, "Stop messing around."
Soon, the dishes arrived one after another.
Wu Yixuan took photos of every dish, "I'll post them on my wechat Moments later and make those sluts at our office jealous."
Chen Menglin lightly nudged her with her palm, "Don't misuse words like that. Why are they all sluts?"
Wu Yixuan giggled, "Just kidding. After work, these women all dress up beautifully and have rich and colorful lives. They post delicious food every day, so today I'll post once too and feel proud."
Chen Menglin pursed her lips and smiled, "It does seem to be the case."
Wu Fan interjected, "Wu Yixuan, judging by how you take photos, your photography skills must be good, right?"
Wu Yixuan happily said, "Of course! Do you want to stand by the window, with the Bund as a backdrop, and let me take a picture of you?"
Wu Fan thought to himself, 'Good opportunity. Let her take a picture, and then I can conveniently add her on wechat.'
"Alright, that's exactly what I intended."
He stood up and walked over, leaning against the window frame, with one hand on his hip, "Is this okay?"
Chen Menglin, hiding in the corner, couldn't help but laugh, "Wu Fan, that pose of yours is a bit flamboyant, hahaha."
Wu Fan was also amused, "This is awkward. I can't do a peace sign, can I? How about I put one hand on the windowsill? Is that better?"
"Not bad, quite handsome," Wu Yixuan walked to the door, raised her phone, and took several "click, click" photos.
"That's enough."
Wu Fan was surprised, "Done?"
"Yes, do you have any other strange poses you want to strike?"
Wu Fan scratched his head, smiling awkwardly, "Alright, let me see how the photos turned out."
Wu Yixuan said, "Let's add each other on wechat, and I'll send them to you."
Wu Fan's heart rejoiced. He pulled out his phone, "Come, you scan me."
"Okay."
After adding him as a friend, Wu Yixuan swiftly sent all the photos to Wu Fan.
Chen Menglin said with a hint of jealousy, "Can you two get full just by looking at photos? Stop playing on your phones, hurry up and eat!"
Wu Fan understood and smiled at her with a raised eyebrow.
The dishes tasted authentic, and the ingredients were fresh. The three of them chatted and ate happily.
About an hour later, Wu Fan saw that they had eaten enough, so he paid the bill directly on the tablet, a total of 58,000.
【Ding, random task completed. Double cashback of 116,000 yuan has been deposited into your bank card. Current account balance: 761,000 yuan.】
Wu Fan looked at the system great one panel, feeling joyful. With a little more effort, he would easily become a millionaire.
Wu Yixuan proactively called the Waitress and brought over some takeout boxes.
"Wu Fan, do you want to pack up the leftovers?"
"You two take them back. I'm alone, who would I pack them for?"
Wu Yixuan nodded, "Alright."
Chen Menglin asked, "How much did it cost tonight in total?"
Wu Fan said, "It didn't reach expectations. Even with all the drinks, it was less than sixty thousand. Our combat power isn't strong enough."
Chen Menglin was shocked, "This meal was over fifty thousand? It couldn't have been miscalculated, could it?"
She picked up the tablet and started looking at the prices, "Wu Fan, this bottle of red wine is over twenty thousand?"
Wu Fan was very calm, "Just an average wine. Next time, if we have a chance, let's order one that costs over four million to try."
Chen Menglin stared at Wu Fan with wide eyes, speechless for a moment.
She was stunned for a while, then finally asked, "Brother Fan, I still don't know what kind of work you do?"
Wu Fan casually said, "I'm in investment. I have projects all over the country."
Chen Menglin looked at him with admiration, "You're amazing. So young and already so successful in your career."
Wu Fan smiled faintly, "It only started getting better this year. Before, I was just a bus driver, driving every day, even going to the toilet and eating were rushed."
Chen Menglin nodded, "You've really turned your fortunes around, haven't you?"
Wu Yixuan was more direct, "Brother Fan, let me ask you something. Are you single?"
"Yes, I'm single. Are you going to introduce someone to me?"
Wu Yixuan said without hesitation, "Chen Menglin is right in front of you, isn't she excellent? Why aren't you making a move?"
Wu Fan took a sip of red wine and sighed, "I'm afraid I'm not good enough for her. I'm divorced with a child."
As soon as he said this, Wu Yixuan paused for a moment, then immediately said, "A super dad, that's a huge bonus! Some girls like men like that, like Chen Menglin, hahaha."
Chen Menglin blushed, then rolled her eyes at Wu Yixuan, "You're talking nonsense again."
Wu Yixuan covered her mouth and giggled.
The Waitress packed all the dishes that needed to be taken away and put them in paper bags, making them very convenient to carry.
Wu Fan stood up, "Shall we go? Where do you want to go for a stroll?"
Wu Yixuan glanced at the dishes she was carrying, "I want to go home first and give the food to my younger brother. He's been playing games and hasn't had dinner yet."
Chen Menglin said, "Then I'll take you back first."
"Okay."
The three of them walked out of the private room together.
Wu Fan walked at the very back, pulling out his phone to look at the wechat message from Pan Shiting: {Wu Fan, are you back? There's a storefront for sale on Pedestrian Street, it's a great location for a restaurant! Come back soon, let's go take a look together, it's a rare opportunity.}
{Okay, I'll be back tomorrow. We'll make plans then. Remember to bring your nurse outfit, I'll give you a good 'training session'. [Lewd expression]}
{Alright. [Shy expression]}
... "Wu Fan, I finally caught you! This time, you won't get out of here alive!" A fierce voice rang out not far away.
Wu Fan looked up and was instantly stunned.
What a coincidence? It was Han Li. Next to him stood Liu Yue, holding their precious son in her arms.
Behind them were more than ten tall and burly bodyguards, standing in neat rows.
Chen Menglin and Wu Yixuan stopped, looking at Han Li and then at Wu Fan, a bit confused.
Wu Fan calmly sneered, put his phone in his pocket, and crossed his arms, "Han Li, Chairman Han, judging by your entourage, you came prepared, didn't you?"
Han Li twisted his mouth, "This restaurant is just a small project of my family. You came at just the right time. Last time, it was three slaps, today I'll return it to you double."
"Look up, all the guests in the restaurant have already been dismissed by me. This is called 'closing the door to beat the dog', understand? Hahaha."
Han Li laughed with excessive smugness.
The ten or so bodyguards behind him also burst into laughter, thinking that beating Wu Fan would be as simple as stepping on an ant.
They probably didn't know the seriousness of the situation yet.
Wu Fan's gaze fell upon Liu Yue. Her exquisite face was still as beautiful as before, and her temperament was even better than before.
But the expression she showed revealed nothing but cold indifference.
It was a waste that he had been so infatuated and sad over her for so long.
At this moment, Wu Fan's heart was like iron, and he had completely cast aside the former ties.
He only wanted revenge, only wanted to see the pained faces of this despicable couple.
【Ding, random task triggered: Make Liu Yue kneel and kowtow three times.】
【Task reward: 30,000 yuan in cash, one intermediate ancient zither skill book.】
Wu Fan raised an eyebrow, glanced at the system great one panel, and felt a surge of joy.
The system great one is so thoughtful, truly a kindred spirit... Thanks to Boss Tig for the explosive update and flowers, thanks to all the bosses for their gifts and for generating power with love. Today, I'm adding an extra chapter. Everyone, please urge me to update more!
