49: Dinner

“Qing Jie, what are you doing on the roof?”

Li Youqian had just taken a shower, and when he came out, he found that Qing Jie was gone.

He asked the maids in the house and found out that Qing Jie had actually gone to the rooftop.

“Nothing, the sunlight on the roof is good, I like to bask in the sun.”

If Li Youqian remembered correctly, there seemed to be a sunroom in the villa...

“Qing Jie, there’s a sunroom downstairs, you can go there and lie down to sunbathe.”

“No need, I just like standing in the sun. I’m fine, you don’t need to worry about me.”

Do you believe what she just said?

Someone who didn't even get out of the car after a car accident likes to stand in the sun?

And if you're sunbathing, why are you always looking at Villa No. 7?

Sima Zhao's heart is known to all passers-by!

....

“Sister, stop sunbathing, the sun has set!”

“If you keep sunbathing, you’ll be sunbathing the moon!”

“We should go eat!”

This woman really has perseverance; to catch a glimpse of Zhou Yushen, she actually stood on the rooftop all afternoon!

“Oh, I know, I know, stop rushing me!”

“You’re a big man, why are you so wishy-washy? Can’t you be more manly?”

Qing Jie’s impatient voice came from above, and Li Youqian sneered.

Alright, alright, then don’t blame me for pulling out the big guns!

“Qing Jie, Zhou Yushen is already waiting for us at the restaurant!”

Little trick, I don’t believe you won’t come down?

“Thump thump thump~”

“What did you say? I clearly didn’t see him leave....”

Oops, I accidentally blurted out what I was thinking.

“Tsk, Qing Jie, weren’t you sunbathing on the rooftop? How do you know that Zhou Yushen hasn’t left?”

Seeing Li Youqian mock her, Qing Jie no longer held back and retorted directly:

“Yes, I came here just to see little Zhou Yushen.”

“No choice, who made me like little brother Zhou Yushen so much~”

“You’re also very handsome, why don’t I look at you?”

Damn it!

This woman doesn’t let herself suffer even a little bit!

“Little trick, you’re still too green to contend with me.”

Seeing Li Youqian’s veins bulge from her retort, Qing Jie walked past him, feeling satisfied.

“Aren’t you going to hurry up? What if my little Zhou Yushen gets impatient?”

Phew~ Don’t be angry, don’t be angry.

Why get angry with a woman?

I am a man, I must be magnanimous! I must have vision!

...

“You... taking these wines??”

“Is the forty million we gave you enough for the wine??”

Qing Jie looked at the Han Emperor Maotai and Tequila Ley 925 (Tequila) in Li Youqian’s hand and asked with a look of disbelief.

With this guy’s stingy nature, how could he be so generous?

And these are limited edition wines, one less bottle after each drink, a financial product that guarantees profit if kept!

“No... nothing, we’re all brothers.”

“Since you’ve traveled all the way to Modu, I have to fulfill my duties as a host.”

Hearing Qing Jie’s words, Li Youqian’s hand trembled, almost dropping the wine.

Forty million isn't enough for the wine?

He knew these wines weren't cheap, but he didn't expect them to be so expensive!

What kind of big sucker is he, anyway?

But since he had already taken them out, he certainly couldn't put them back. Li Youqian, with a bleeding heart, placed the wine in the car.

As for where the car came from?

Of course, it was borrowed from Free Stuff Property!

Lin Yuwei told him that the property management had emergency vehicles and drivers prepared for the owners, so Li Youqian directly borrowed one.

It’s free, no reason not to use it!

...

“Everyone, I’m really sorry, we were a bit late due to traffic.”

When Li Youqian and Qing Jie arrived at the restaurant, Zhou Yushen and Mei Niang had already arrived in the private room.

Traffic jams, helping old ladies cross the road, something came up at home – common excuses for being late among Chinese people~

“Finally, it’s a pleasure to meet you, President Qian. I am Lao Ye, my real name is...”

“Hello, President Qian, I am Shadow...”

(I won’t write the names here. Although it’s a novel, there will inevitably be nitpickers...)

“Brother Li, tonight’s your treat, but you, the host, are late. You’ll have to drink three penalty cups later!”

If someone of lower status were late, Zhou Yushen would have already shown his displeasure. Except for elders, only others waited for him; he almost never waited for anyone.

However, Zhou Yushen naturally wouldn't mind Li Youqian being late, because their statuses are equal~

“No problem! Isn’t it just three cups? Qing Jie will drink them for me!”

???

You’re a dog!!

Why should I drink your penalty wine!!

“Why don’t you drink? Why should I drink??”

“Just tell me, isn’t it because you were late?”

“I....”

Qing Jie was speechless; this really was her fault!

“Alright, isn’t it just three cups? I’ll drink them.”

“I’m not like some people, a big man letting a woman take his drinks.”

After an afternoon of getting along, Qing Jie and Li Youqian’s relationship had become more familiar, so she could also joke around appropriately.

Moreover, Li Youqian is just cheap; he won’t be honest unless you scold him!

“Alright, Qing Jie, your temper is still so fiery. President Qian was just joking.”

“Tonight, we won’t go home until we’re drunk!”

Seeing the atmosphere become a bit tense, Lao Ye quickly smoothed things over and changed the subject.

“Holy crap, is this Tequila Ley 925?”

“President Qian, you actually have this wine?”

“And Han Emperor Maotai!!”

Shadow usually loves to drink, so he naturally knows about these famous wines.

“These few bottles of wine combined must be sixty million, right?”

“President Qian, you really are...”

Sixty million!

The speed at which Li Youqian’s heart bled increased by a notch.

“Cough cough, Brother Li, we’re just having a casual meal, we don’t need such expensive wine.”

“How about this, you take these two bottles of tequila back, and we drink these two bottles of Han Emperor Maotai, how does that sound?”

Even Zhou Yushen had never drunk wine worth 24 million a bottle!

Comparatively, the 8 million Han Emperor Maotai was much more acceptable...

“Exactly, exactly, although this tequila is expensive, it’s a collector’s wine. For actual drinking, it still has to be Han Emperor Maotai.”

“And we Chinese aren’t used to foreign wines, so let’s stick to baijiu.”

Zhou Yushen had spoken, and Lao Ye and Shadow quickly agreed.

They had come for Zhou Yushen, so naturally, they would prioritize him.

“Alright then, but two bottles of wine aren’t enough. I’ll go get two more bottles of Feitian.”

Li Youqian was overjoyed. He had thought sixty million would just fly away, but he didn’t expect to reduce some losses!

“Waiter, two bottles of Feitian.”

....

The four people in the Tycoon group were all extraordinary individuals, truly dragons among men, and with Young Master Zhou Yushen personally accompanying them, the banquet was even more splendid.

At the dinner table, a few people chatted and laughed, the crisp clinking of glasses rising and falling.

As the host, Li Youqian naturally behaved generously. He frequently raised his glass, expressing respect and welcome to everyone present.

These people could all become his connections in the future, so he naturally had to maintain them well.

In such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, the initially somewhat reserved relationships also became harmonious.
