Chapter 99: Open an Imperial Suite for Me

After clocking out from work, Zheng Qian took his subordinates and headed to Luyuan Villa.

"Since you're off tomorrow, why don't you come along and have some fun with us today?" Zheng Qian said to Xia Xixi.

Xia Xixi initially wanted to refuse, but upon hearing that he had also invited Deng Shuxin, she ended up agreeing in a daze.

Deng Shuxin had resigned from the company some time ago, but he still hadn't forgotten her. Xia Xixi thought Zheng Qian was quite loyal.

Of course, it was also possible that he was just lusting after Deng Shuxin's body. With her height and figure, even popular models would feel inferior.

As they were heading out, they happened to run into Xiao Xinhao.

"President Zheng, where are you all going with so many people?"

"I'm taking a few subordinates for a team-building activity."

Xiao Xinhao took a look, one, two, three, four, five...

Zheng Qian really had skills. How on earth were all his subordinates girls?

And such beautiful girls at that.

That's truly impressive!

Xiao Xinhao felt that all those pickup arts and conversational techniques were just bullshit.

Nothing was as practical as the cash in your pocket.

As a Vice President of the company, Zheng Qian had so many beautiful female employees under him, and he was openly taking them out for fun under the guise of team building.

Could one man handle all that?

"President Zheng, do you need a driver? Why not take me along?" Xiao Xinhao said with a grin.

Zheng Qian thought about it and shook his head.

He gently patted Xiao Xinhao on the arm. "This time I'm taking my subordinates for team building; they're all from my department. I'll take you out separately next time."

Zheng Qian didn't want Xiao Xinhao to join, so he made up an excuse, saying that since he hadn't participated in the company's anti-encirclement campaign a few days ago, it wouldn't be appropriate to bring him along.

In reality, Zheng Qian had also invited Deng Shuxin. Deciding who could go and who couldn't was entirely up to him; it was just a matter of a single word.

"Oh, oh, alright then." Xiao Xinhao tactfully stepped aside.

Zheng Qian led the group to Luyuan Villa.

Luyuan Villa was the most famous leisure villa in Yebai, offering a one-stop service for dining, drinking, and entertainment. Its class was no worse than Wangyue Island, but it lacked the water features of Wangyue Island. The small rivers, streams, and hills here were basically man-made, just built in the suburbs near the forest.

It was summer, and there were many people here for vacation and leisure; it was packed.

Walking into Luyuan Villa, a polite manager approached them.

"Sir, how many in your party?"

Zheng Qian glanced behind him. "All of them."

The manager looked behind Zheng Qian. Damn, so many women accompanying him alone for a meal?

What the hell, who is this guy?!

Can his body handle it?

The manager dared not be negligent. Whether Zheng Qian's body could handle it had nothing to do with him; the main thing was to provide good service.

"Alright, sir. May I ask if you are a member here?"

"No."

"Then would you like to consider getting one of our membership cards?"

Zheng Qian smiled. For a place like Luyuan Villa to immediately push memberships on customers, their vision really wasn't great!

However, he was here to spend money today. The more he spent, the better, since the system would give him cash back anyway.

"What's the difference?"

"As long as you pre-charge 100,000, you can become our Gold VIP, enjoy a 20% discount, and open an emperor room. Regular customers who want to open an emperor room have to pay an extra 20% service fee."

"Oh, if that's the case, then I won't get one."

"Open an emperor room for me!"

Manager: ???

Xia Xixi: ???

The members of the Public Relations Department behind him, and the guests nearby: ???

Is this the legendary "fool with too much money"?

Just opening a few bottles of wine and ordering a few dishes would probably cost around 100,000 anyway.

Using the logic of a normal person, it would definitely be more cost-effective to top up the card first and then pay the bill!

That way, you could enjoy a 20% discount. Since this 100,000 was going to be spent anyway, even if it didn't reach 100,000, it wouldn't be far off.

"What? Is there a problem?" Zheng Qian asked, seeing the manager who was receiving him standing there dumbfounded.

"No... no, I'll go open the emperor room for you right away."

The manager's voice started to tremble. He didn't think Zheng Qian was a fool with money; rather, he thought he wanted to use this opportunity to show off his financial power in front of these girls, hoping to take as many as he could home that night.

Thinking about it this way, that 20% discount was hardly worth mentioning.

The others didn't dare to say anything, but Xia Xixi, who had always been dissatisfied with Zheng Qian, jumped out and said something at this moment.

"President Zheng, you sure are good at math!"

Zheng Qian chuckled foolishly. "Everyone, please come inside!"

The emperor room was indeed different from regular private rooms. It was resplendent and brightly lit, the chairs were made of handmade pear wood, the tableware was sterling silver, and the entire room exuded an imperial atmosphere.

After sitting down, it was time to order.

"Today is to reward our Public Relations Department for their outstanding performance in the anti-encirclement campaign. Order whatever you want to eat, call for whatever you want to drink. Do you hear me?"

This was the first time Zheng Qian had taken them out for fun, and he was spending money like water, completely unconcerned about the cost. Most of them understood Zheng Qian's lavish generosity.

Only Qin Xueli was stunned when she heard Zheng Qian say this.

Was this still the same Zheng Qian she knew?

With the delicacies on the menu, if everyone ordered one dish, it would easily exceed 40,000 or 50,000.

The clientele of Luyuan Villa was middle-class and above, and the wine here was even more expensive, with nothing less than 8,000 a bottle.

She knew that Zheng Qian had leaped over the dragon gate and transformed into a phoenix, but only when she was personally there, participating in the team building organized by Zheng Qian, did she realize that Zheng Qian was even more successful than she had imagined!

"Wait, wait, I almost forgot. Deng Shuxin hasn't arrived yet. Let's wait for her."

"Xixi, go to the entrance and pick her up. She should be arriving soon."

A few minutes later, Deng Shuxin arrived, and everyone began to formally order.

When the menu was finally passed to Qin Xueli, she was completely stunned.

Zheng Qian really wasn't just being polite or bragging; these women really knew how to order.

American abalone, Australia lobster, all sorts of delicacies...

Qin Xueli roughly calculated that by the time the menu reached her, there were already 50,000 to 60,000 worth of dishes.

There was a problem with the menu.

There were many dishes, but not a single bottle of wine had been ordered.

Qin Xueli took a look. Even a very ordinary bottle of wine here cost over 8,000. With so many people sitting here today, they would need at least four or five bottles, which would be 30,000 to 40,000. No wonder no one had ordered any.

Were they trying to make her the patsy, to make Zheng Qian think she was a woman who didn't know how to save money?

Quite cunning!

Qin Xueli wouldn't fall for it.

"That's about enough. I have a small appetite and can't eat much, so I won't order anything. What you've ordered should be enough."

This action was met with eye-rolls from everyone.

What are you acting all high and mighty for?

They had all ordered some things, originally intending for Qin Xueli to order the most expensive wine.

But they hadn't expected that Qin Xueli wouldn't fall for it, and what's more, she didn't order a single thing. It just made it look like she was saving money for President Zheng, while they were ruthlessly ripping him off whenever they got the chance to let him treat them?

Xia Xixi saw that the others' expressions were a bit off and reminded her, "Lili, just order one or two dishes, it's fine."

"Alright then..." Qin Xueli put on a reluctant expression and ordered the two cheapest dishes.

Xia Xixi sighed inwardly.

She had just wanted to save the situation, but Qin Xueli's actions clearly made everyone even angrier at her.

These two groups were fighting openly and secretly, with traps everywhere. Xia Xixi felt tired just watching from the sidelines.

"What did you all order? Let me see." Zheng Qian took the menu from Qin Xueli's hand.

"Why didn't you order any wine? Don't any of you drink?"
