Chapter 424: Ah Xi Ba

His gaze was so piercing that Zhuang Yaoyao and Chen Shaoyang were completely petrified on the spot. Both of them were utterly bewildered. Could it be... that everything that had just happened wasn't what they had imagined? Was it really... arranged by that kid, Lin Shuoyang? Was he really that awesome? Was it even possible for someone that awesome to exist in Shanghu?

"Um... isn't this all just a misunderstanding?" Chen Shaoyang, unable to save face, stepped forward awkwardly and said in a low voice, "The gentleman mentioned earlier... was it really that kid? You aren't pulling my leg, are you?"

The manager looked at him with disdain, his face cold.

"Please leave," he repeated.

Even Kwon Ryong from SOULMATE couldn't hold back anymore.

He coldly said in Korean: "Aishibal, shibal, nom-a, shibal."

Although most people didn't understand the rest, the implication was clear enough. Or, at the very least, everyone present could grasp what "shibal" meant.

The agent also had a dark expression: "You can probably guess what Oppa Kwon Ryong just said, right? I won't translate it for you. In any case, you have offended someone you shouldn't have. Please leave immediately, as we need to perform for the others present."

Even the thickest-skinned person wouldn't have been able to take it.

Chen Shaoyang hurriedly lowered his head and slunk away.

If he didn't leave now, he would have dug a five-bedroom, six-bathroom house into the floor with his toes.

But before he had walked a few steps, two waiters blocked his path.

Chen Shaoyang was stunned. He had already been publicly humiliated; what more did they want from him?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. Because of what happened today, our restaurant has suffered extremely negative consequences. Therefore, we are revoking your driver's license... oh, wait, that's not right. We are cancelling your membership. Please do not come here again in the future."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." (referencing an internet meme). Chen Shaoyang really couldn't bear to stay any longer. Without even saying goodbye, he fled in a frenzy.

"Wait!"

"What do you want~~!"

Seeing that they were still blocking him, Chen Shaoyang was on the verge of tears.

"Please settle the bill. Including this bottle of 'Sea of Sunlight,' it comes to a total of 900,000."

[Thud—] Chen Shaoyang rolled his eyes back and fainted on the spot.

The manager waved his hand impatiently. "Take him to the lounge in the back and call his family to pay. If you can't reach his family, call the police and tell them someone is trying to dine and dash."

"Honey! Honey, I was actually just joking with you!"

Zhuang Yaoyao finally realized what was happening. She hurriedly grabbed Lin Shuoyang's arm and said excitedly, "It's my fault for being blind and not realizing how amazing you are! I actually have nothing to do with that guy named Chen. He forced me today..."

Before Zhuang Yaoyao could finish, Lin Shuoyang disgustedly pried her hand off. He stepped back and said coldly:

"That's enough. I'm tired. We should never contact each other again, because you make me sick."

With that, he turned and strode away.

"Lin Shuoyang!!!! Honey!!!! Don't go!!!!"

"Drag her out!"

The manager couldn't watch anymore and frowned as he told a few waitresses.

He then clapped his hands, turned to face everyone with a smile, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am truly sorry! This Mr. Lin specially invited SOULMATE to perform, and he has also paid the bill for everyone present!"

"Please, enjoy the upcoming performance!"

[Wow—!]

Accompanied by a cheer, the restaurant was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

As for the two most unhappy people: one was carried to the lounge, waiting for his father to come and pay to redeem him, while the other was directly "escorted" out by a waitress. It was as if they had never appeared there at all.

"Let's go too."

Zheng Qian patted the two girls on the behind and left first. Wei Rusi and Su Yuanshuang hurriedly followed. But after walking a few steps, they realized something felt wrong. Where did he just pat?

"Thank you, President Zheng!"

Walking out of the restaurant, Lin Shuoyang looked at him gratefully.

Zheng Qian waved his hand and said earnestly, "It's nothing. I've experienced what you went through today, but back then, I didn't have this kind of ability. So... I'm just using your hands to fulfill a wish."

"Also, I hope you don't resent your mother. She must have her reasons for controlling your allowance."

"Keep it up, young man. I believe in you. You have my shadow in you."

Zheng Qian patted his shoulder and got into the car. Lin Shuoyang nodded heavily.

Yeah, acted cool again.

Zheng Qian sighed and shook his head, but... today was actually quite satisfying. However, just at that moment, his system sent a notification: [Recouped reward: 9 million yuan].

???

He quickly realized that it must have been Chen Shaoyang's father who found a way to pay the money back.

Damn it...

There are just too many rich people in this society now. 900,000, paid back so quickly? But all things considered, it wasn't a loss. At least he had spent over 90 million; it was well worth it.

If he had known, he should have just topped up Wei Rusi's membership account with 100 million directly.

"President Zheng, please wait a moment. I need the IDs of the three of you to go and book a suite for you."

The driver was arranged by Lin-Xiao Yuanfang Group and was also acting as an assistant for the time being.

Just as he drove the car to the hotel, he subconsciously wanted to help them book a room.

Wei Rusi: ???

Su Yuanshuang: ???

Need the IDs of three people to book one room?? What does that mean???

"Ah, um, no need, I'll do it myself. You go back and rest early!"

Zheng Qian said goodbye with a smile. The driver nodded knowingly and left.

"Alright, hand over your IDs. I'm going to book the room."

"How many?" "How many?" Wei Rusi and Su Yuanshuang said in unison.

Wei Rusi felt a bit embarrassed afterwards, then punched Zheng Qian's arm. "Two rooms, of course! Su Yuanshuang and I can share one. Don't get any crooked ideas!"

Su Yuanshuang's cheeks turned slightly red. She suddenly remembered what had happened during the day. This Wei Rusi... No, it felt very dangerous to share a room with her!

"Hmm... that's a good question."

Zheng Qian pondered for a moment, but still nodded. "Alright, two rooms it is."

But what neither of them noticed was that a wicked smile appeared on the corner of Zheng Qian's mouth.

Hehehe... I said two rooms, but I didn't say who would stay in which room, right? And I didn't say that both rooms had to be occupied, right? Three people... could also stay in one room, right? The other room can just be left empty. I'm just a rich man being willful; that's not a problem, is it?
