Not much, this meal only cost around 100,000.

Zhou Cheng remained silent, looking at Zhang Shuai indifferently.

If it were his Previous Self, dominated by the short drama world and acting as a supporting Villain meant to hinder the Female Protagonist and the male lead from being together, he might have been worried and afraid of the Female Protagonist's arrival.

He might have even settled the bill for Zhang Shuai directly without waiting for the Female Protagonist to arrive.

But the current Zhou Cheng is different; this trick doesn't work on him!

It's even laughable!

In his past life, Zhou Cheng was a self-disciplined man who had been single since birth and would spend over half an hour just choosing a movie to watch.

Although Zhang Yuanyuan is pretty, having watched countless films, he has certainly seen many beautiful girls.

She is nothing but a skeleton in beautiful clothing.

As long as he escapes the short drama's arrangements and develops steadily first, waiting until the System provides enough rewards so that he doesn't need to fear anything.

That will be the time to enjoy life!

Over at Zhang Shuai's side, he picked up his phone and quickly dialed Zhang Yuanyuan's number.

Then, without waiting for Zhang Yuanyuan on the other end to speak, he started talking first, as if he wanted to pour out all his grievances at this very moment!

"Sister, where are you now? Let me tell you, Zhou Cheng is at the hotel now, but not only is he refusing to wipe the bill for me, he even wants to take me to the Police Station!"

"Sister, let me tell you, I invited many friends today, and Xiao Mei is here too. Zhou Cheng is making me lose so much Face, you must stand up for me!"

Zhang Shuai's words reached Zhang Yuanyuan's ears.

She, who was currently on her way in a car, was slightly stunned when she heard that Zhou Cheng was also there.

Her mood was particularly complex.

Previously, she felt that Zhou Cheng sending her messages every day and showing concern for her well-being was very annoying, and she even felt disgusted by it.

Especially when recalling her marriage to Zhou Cheng in her past life, she felt painful whenever she was always bound and restricted by him.

She felt that true love should not be mixed with money.

And it should not restrict the other person even more!

If two people truly like each other, what does it matter if they have no money?

Just like Gu Beifan, he would never promote their relationship by giving her money.

And he would never restrict her!

However, after not receiving any news from Zhou Cheng for these past few days.

She felt as if she had lost something.

Sometimes she would even take out her phone, browse through the chat messages Zhou Cheng had sent her before, and read them over and over again.

"Zhou Cheng, he..." Zhang Yuanyuan wanted to ask about Zhou Cheng's situation.

But before she could speak, she was interrupted by Zhang Shuai's voice.

In the private room, after Zhang Shuai got through the call and explained the situation, he looked at Zhou Cheng.

"Zhou Cheng, have you thought about how you will Face my sister later!"

"Although we are not biological siblings, the relationship between us is better than that of biological siblings!"

As his voice fell, Zhou Cheng sighed silently in his heart once again.

So, if your relationship is better than that of biological siblings, why do you need me to pay the bill...

After finishing, Zhang Shuai picked up his phone again and said:

"Sister, come over quickly now."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

He sat back in the private room with a confident look on his Face.

Given this situation, Zhou Cheng could only find one reason: his Previous Self was truly too cowardly.

It must be because he had always indulged this brat, which led him to believe that as long as he called Zhang Yuanyuan, he would back down.

On Zhang Yuanyuan's side.

She looked at the hung-up phone and didn't call back.

From the call just now, she knew that Zhang Shuai didn't have the money to pay for the meal he had hosted.

She knew Haosheng Hotel was a high-end luxury hotel belonging to Zhou Chengs Family.

So, she brought fifty thousand yuan, which should be enough to settle the bill!

...

A while later.

Zhang Quan and Liu Xi, who were on duty at the Police Station, arrived in a prisoner transport vehicle.

They looked to Zheng Qunxian to understand the situation.

After listening, Zhang Quan suggested: "Why don't we take them all back to the Police Station first?"

"After all, this is a hotel, it might affect the guests later."

Zheng Qunxian nodded.

However, before he could make a decision, Zhang Shuai stood up and shouted: "What Police Station? Did I say I wouldn't pay the bill?"

"I didn't break the law, why should I go to the Police Station?"

After saying that, he sat back down with a thud.

Regarding this, Zheng Qunxian had no way to deal with it.

If Zhang Shuai stated he wouldn't pay, they could arrest him immediately, but since he said he would pay, they had to wait!

Zhou Cheng glanced at Zhang Shuai; several colleagues had already arrived now.

And who knows when Zhang Yuanyuan will arrive.

He hadn't even eaten his late-night snack yet!

So he looked at the manager and arranged:

"Manager Wu, right? Arrange a table for a late-night snack in the next room, something light. Since he wants to wait, let him wait."

"Alright, please wait a moment, I will arrange it immediately." The manager replied quickly upon hearing this.

He had figured it out: the Second Young Master was indeed the boyfriend of this brat's sister, but the brat's sister was actually causing a scene about breaking up in front of the Second Young Master.

So now the Second Young Master was filled with Life Qi, and simply ignored them!

It's truly absurd. If it were him, let alone causing a breakup, even if the Second Young Master went out to carouse, he would still prepare hangover soup and wait for him to return.

"Brother Zheng, it's already very late, and we haven't had a late-night snack yet. It's my treat, don't be polite with me." After making the arrangements, Zhou Cheng looked at Zheng Qunxian and said.

"This... it's working hours now, is that okay?" Zheng Qunxian was a bit hesitant.

He was just an ordinary Police Officer; although he worked in Shanghai, his salary was much higher than in other regions.

But he was just part of the basic working class, and he had never consumed in such a luxurious place!

Of course, he wouldn't dare to consume in such a place!

"And this place is too luxurious, will it have a bad influence?"

"There's no bad influence. This is my family's hotel. I'm just treating my colleagues to a meal at home; what could be wrong with that? Besides, we just won't drink alcohol." Zhou Cheng said.

According to police regulations, when out on a mission, provided it doesn't delay the mission.

Having a late-night snack is allowed!

And the most important thing is that Zhou Cheng is paying, not using the Police Station's money.

The manager also said from the side:

"Police Officer Zheng, it's fine. You are a colleague of Police Officer Zhou, and this is Police Officer Zhou's family hotel, so this is just like treating colleagues to a meal at home!"

The manager's words made Zheng Qunxian nod.

But he still said: "Just serve something simple, don't make it too luxurious!"

Zhang Quan and Liu Xi, hearing Zhou Cheng and the others, had eyes that were already shining.

They didn't expect that coming to provide support would have such perks!

"Understood!" The manager nodded! Then he left the scene!

...

The door of the opposite private room opened, and one top-tier delicacy after another was brought over.

Although light, it was also very luxurious!

Although Zheng Qunxian said to serve something simple, the manager didn't dare to really serve something simple!

In his eyes, if a leader says "simple," he cannot really be simple!

Zhou Cheng led Zhao Yier and Zheng Qunxian and the others to start eating.

It's a pity that the model worker Captain Wang is not here tonight.

At the Police Station, Captain Wang really took good care of Zhou Cheng, and he really wanted to treat him to a good meal!

"Zhou Cheng, this is too much, it's enough, enough."

"Brother Zhou, how much is this meal?" Zhang Quan didn't forget to ask.

"Not much, just about one hundred thousand." The manager said from the side.

Hearing this, Zhang Quan and Liu Xi were shocked again.

Zhou Cheng glanced sideways at the manager upon hearing this.

"What are you blabbering for."

...

"Zhang Shuai, what should we do now?"

"I think the situation is a bit ominous, Zhang Shuai, when will your sister arrive?"

"Can your sister really make him pay the bill? Won't it be useless even if your sister comes?"

The people in Zhang Shuai's private room were worried.

They didn't expect that the simp brother-in-law in Zhang Shuai's words wouldn't pay the bill as readily as they had thought.

Not only that, but he also had an impartial attitude, determined to take them in!

"What are you afraid of! Even if Zhou Cheng is truly heartless, my sister has the money to pay!" Zhang Shuai said.

He knew that Zhou Cheng had previously given Zhang Yuanyuan many gifts, so she could afford the five hundred thousand yuan meal fee!
