I heard it clearly, it's Shanbing!
Take a look at the man in front of you, his name is Zhang Shuai! He is currently bragging to the female classmate in front of him.
"Shumei, let me tell you, this hotel belongs to my brother-in-law's family. You know Chenyang Group, right? My brother-in-law is the Second Young Master of Chenyang Group, Zhou Cheng!"
"So, I don't need to pay when I eat at this hotel! After I graduate, I'll just have him arrange something for me, and my future will be limitless."
Zhang Shuai said with full confidence.
This is Haosheng Hotel, a high-end luxury hotel under Zhou Chengs Family's Chenyang Group!
Zhang Shuai had booked a private room and was currently treating his classmates to a meal!
His main purpose was to show off in front of his classmate, Shumei. He wanted to win her over and make her his girlfriend.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to get a private room here, because the threshold for this hotel is extremely high!
The reason he was able to get in and secure a private room was mainly because he possessed a black card belonging to Zhou Cheng!
"That's awesome! I really know about Chenyang Group; they have businesses in everything. Doesn't that mean you, Zhang Shuai, are about to take off?"
"Is your brother-in-law really the Second Young Master of Chenyang Group? Why haven't we seen him before?"
"666! Regardless, from now on, Zhang Shuai is President Zhang. Can you take me with you? I'll even wear my long johns inside out if I have to."
The classmates in the private room heard Zhang Shuai's words and all began to chime in.
It was their first time at such a high-end hotel, so they had to make the most of it. At the same time, they had to butter up Zhang Shuai, who was paying the bill. Who knows, maybe they could really follow Zhang Shuai in the future.
The female classmate next to Zhang Shuai's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"Would I lie to you?" Zhang Shuai said, taking out the black card that Zhou Cheng had given him.
This card was given to Zhang Yuanyuan by Zhou Cheng! It could be used for unlimited spending at businesses owned by Zhou Chengs Family!
However, a few days ago, after Zhou Cheng canceled all the cards he had given to Zhang Yuanyuan, this card became useless!
Zhang Yuanyuan had tossed it aside carelessly, but to her surprise, it was picked up by Zhang Shuai.
"This is the black card my brother-in-law gave me! Without it, forget about eating in a private room—you wouldn't even be able to get into the lobby!"
"When we check out later, I can just use this card to get the bill waived!"
"I also have my brother-in-law's super message contact in my phone. If I have anything to take care of, I can just give him a call!"
Zhang Shuai held the black card in one hand and waved it around in front of his classmates!
The black card was deep and pitch-black, with shimmering golden patterns that made it look extraordinary at first glance!
"Zhang Shuai, you're really something!"
"Is it really going to work? The expenses here aren't low, and we won't have money to pay the bill if it doesn't!"
"Don't worry, it will definitely work," Zhang Shuai assured them, though he had no real confidence in his heart.
"Even if it doesn't work, I'll just give my brother-in-law, Zhou Cheng, a call later."
"Then I'm relieved."
Everyone felt relieved and started ordering all sorts of expensive seafood without restraint.
"Sir, the items you've ordered..." the manager rushed over specifically to advise them.
The bill for this private room had already reached hundreds of thousands, and this group was specifically picking the most expensive items. The manager had no choice but to come over and try to persuade them otherwise.
"What do you mean? Do you think we can't afford it?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant."
"Then just serve it up! Bring two portions of everything. Otherwise, the foreigners next door will think we can't afford it!" Zhang Shuai laughed heartily! He didn't forget to be humorous in front of his classmates.
"President Zhang is so humorous!"
"Hahaha, this guy really has eyes that look down on people. If you ask me, just call your brother-in-law later and have him fired!"
"Shuai, Zhang Shuai, I also have an older sister. Ask your brother-in-law if he needs a girl."
Everyone started jeering and cheering.
"This..." The manager's head hurt just looking at them. This group of kids really didn't look like they could afford the bill. If they weren't actually holding Zhou Cheng's black card, he would never have let them in!
"What 'this'? Just serve the food, alright?" Zhang Shuai said with Life Qi.
"Do you think I picked up that black card? Does this prove anything?!"
As he spoke, he took out his phone, opened his super message app, found Zhou Cheng's account, and showed it to the manager! Since Zhou Cheng often ate here, the manager also had Zhou Cheng's super message contact. Upon closer inspection, it really was him!
"Alright, alright, I'll serve the food for you immediately." The manager had no more issues. With the Second Young Master's black card and the super message contact, there shouldn't be any mistake.
"Hahaha, see that? That's called status."
"Let me tell you, back then, for the sake of my sister, Zhou Cheng would drive a luxury car to my building every day to pick her up, and he'd take us out to spend money from time to time!"
"Back then, my sister wouldn't even pay him any mind. He was just like a simp, following her around every day!"
"Later, I'll give him a call and get him to transfer another two million for me to spend."
The manager's change in attitude gave Zhang Shuai immense satisfaction. Seeing this, the classmates in the room lost their worries and kept buttering him up.
"As expected of President Zhang, you really have status."
"Shumei, why haven't you married President Zhang yet?"
"Brother Zhang, President Zhang, don't be too rigid about gender. I'm quite supple too."
"Get lost!"
After more bragging and chatting, the group of young people still in technical school kept calling him President Zhang. It made the waiter in the room feel quite awkward.
...
The dozen or so people in the private room ate and drank for a full two hours. It was their first time at such a high-end luxury hotel. They might never get the chance to come again, so they thought they shouldn't miss the opportunity and had to spend lavishly!
"President Zhang, the total is 530,000. Please let me swipe that black card, and then just enter the password," the manager said, bringing the bill over personally.
"Here, it needs a password?" Zhang Shuai hiccuped, slightly drunk. He had picked this card up at home, so he really didn't know the password. But he figured he could just call and ask later.
"Yes, after all, the amount is quite large, and you are not the Second Young Master himself," the manager smiled, taking the black card from Zhang Shuai and handing it to the waiter to swipe.
"I don't know the password, but just put it on the tab. Besides, as you've seen, I have Zhou Cheng's super message contact."
"This..." The manager hesitated. The waiter who had come with him looked up at the manager and whispered, "Manager, this card has been suspended. It can't be swiped."
"What?!" The manager's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he became anxious.
"Sir, this card has been suspended."
"What do you mean suspended?" Zhang Shuai said with Life Qi. This was Zhou Cheng's black card!
"It means this card can no longer be used," the manager said hurriedly. "Why don't you give the Second Young Master a call? Or can you pay directly?"
That was the only way. If he couldn't hear from Zhou Cheng or receive the payment, he would have to take the fall for this meal bill!
Seeing the turn of events, the people in the private room started to panic. Zhang Shuai had been bragging to the heavens just a moment ago—surely he wouldn't be unable to pay the bill!
"What is the meaning of this! This card was given to my sister by Zhou Cheng. Would he give my sister a card that doesn't work?!" Zhang Shuai said with Life Qi. The questioning gazes in the room made Zhang Shuai lose a lot of Face.
"Apologies, apologies, this is just the procedure. I hope you can understand," the manager said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. Zhang Shuai didn't say much more, just rolled his eyes at the manager. Then he took out his phone and found Zhou Cheng's number.
...
Meanwhile, Zhou Cheng was still working at the station. He was on duty tonight, so he was still there. Zhao Yier was on duty with Zhou Cheng, and having nothing to do, she just started binge-watching a show.
A call came in on his super message app. Zhou Cheng checked it; the contact name was Zhang Shuai, and nothing else. He couldn't remember who he was for a moment, so he answered it to see.
"Hello! Brother-in-law, it's me, Zhang Shuai! I've had a meal at Haosheng Hotel!"
"I mentioned your name and used your black card. The hotel manager told me to give you a call. Just tell the manager to waive the bill, and then I'll be on my way."
"Also, brother-in-law, I don't have any money to spend lately. Transfer another few hundred thousand for me."
As soon as the call connected, the voice of a drunkard came through. Zhou Cheng frowned: "Silly cunt!" After cursing, he hung up the phone directly, then blocked and deleted this super message contact!
On Zhang Shuai's side, he had it on speakerphone, and several people were gathered around him. After Zhou Cheng hung up, they looked up at each other, stunned.
"Zhang Shuai, did he call you a silly cunt and then hang up?"
"Nonsense! He clearly said 'Shanbing'! How could Zhang Shuai's brother-in-law call him a silly cunt?"
"That's right, he definitely said 'Shanbing'!"
"I heard it clearly, it was 'Shanbing'!!!"
Zhang Shuai held his phone awkwardly and looked at the manager.
"Manager, you saw it too. The call went through, so is it okay now?"
"What do you think?" The manager's expression darkened. He clearly called you a silly cunt; do you take me for a Dragon!
