32: Chapter 32 Stubborn to the end
After Wang Hao and the other person sat down, Influencer Face softly and comfortingly Dao: "Brother Hao, those kinds of people aren't worth your Life Qi. How about I keep you company tonight and we have a few drinks?"
Wang Hao had just suffered a setback from Qin Yi and felt extremely frustrated. Seeing the flirtatious look on the little influencer's Face, he felt a surge of heat in his lower abdomen. He wished he could pin her down right now and ravage her to vent the resentment in his heart!
Seeing that Wang Hao didn't speak, Influencer Face took it as his silent consent, signaled for a waiter, and began to order.
After a series of actions, Influencer Face looked at Wang Hao and asked softly Dao: "Brother Hao, what should we drink?"
Wang Hao didn't seem to care and waved his hand impatiently Dao: "Whatever!"
Because Wang Hao's attention wasn't on Influencer Face at all; it had unconsciously drifted back to Qin Yi's table. Seeing Qin Yi and the other person chatting and laughing, he had Qi in his heart!
...
At this moment, Qin Yi raised his glass to Xu Qian, his eyes full of admiration.
"Qianqian, I really couldn't tell, but you're quite good at shutting people down."
Xu Qian picked up her wine glass, took a sip, and then said Dao with a smile she couldn't hide: "Hehe, it's all because that woman was too annoying. What's wrong with wearing street stall clothes? I look better in them than she does anyway!"
As she spoke, Xu Qian puffed out her chest. Beneath her tight black camisole, a pair of lively and cute breasts seemed to be making a demonstration, nearly bursting through their restraints and surging out.
But Xu Qian didn't seem to care at the moment and continued to complain to Qin Yi: "With her height barely reaching 1.5 meters, she actually has the nerve to talk about me! Hmph, and that man, looking all sleazy. He clearly isn't a good person. Just because he has a Maserati key, he dares to come and mock Young Master Qin. He's really overestimating himself!"
Seeing Xu Qian's aggressive manner, Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, alright, let's not talk about them. They're just a pair of idiots who will only ruin our appetite. Let's just eat our food. Once we're full, we can go shopping."
"Mhm! Young Master Qin is right, they're just a pair of idiots!"
...
Influencer Face followed Wang Hao's gaze and saw that he was still looking at that little bitch at the other table, immediately feeling a sense of crisis.
She looked at the waiter, puffed out her chest like a proud hen, and asked Dao: "Do you have any recommendations?"
The waiter curled his lip inwardly; in the service industry, they had seen all kinds of customers.
Although the man in front of him looked like a rich kid with some money, the Influencer Face next to him was clearly a slutty bitch. For someone like her to dare act sophisticated in front of him!
In that case, don't blame me!
Thinking this, the waiter began to recommend Dao: "Distinguished lady, you could try the champagne. We just received a shipment yesterday of louis veuve Limited Edition, aged for over 10 years. It received a 94-point rating from Wine Spectator magazine!"
Although Wang Hao's attention was on Qin Yi's table, he still heard the waiter's words.
Champagne, aged for over 10 years, and it's a limited edition—how much would that cost?
Although he was rich, it was all given to him by his old man, and there was a monthly limit!
Today was only the first day of July, and he had already spent over twenty thousand to buy a bag for Su Mo, plus nearly six thousand to treat this little influencer to dinner. If he ordered another bottle of limited edition champagne, wouldn't he be bleeding money again?
If he overspent, how would he survive the rest of the month?
Wang Hao worried that the little influencer might impulsively order based on the waiter's recommendation, so he immediately retracted his gaze and asked Dao the waiter: "How much is it?"
The waiter smiled and said Dao calmly: "Distinguished sir, the louis veuve 10-year aged limited edition champagne is only 21,800. It's an absolute value for the price!"
Hearing the price, before Wang Hao could lose his temper, Influencer Face snapped Dao first: "Is your restaurant crazy for money?! 21,800 is enough to buy an LV bag!"
Facing Influencer Face's questioning, the waiter didn't get angry. He still wore a smile, but his way of addressing her changed.
"Madam, to be honest, the price of 21,800 isn't actually expensive," he said Dao. "You have to realize this is a limited edition champagne aged for over 10 years; once a bottle is drunk, there's one less in the world. As for the twenty-thousand-plus LV bag you mentioned, I assume it's probably not a limited edition."
What does he mean?
Is he mocking me for never having bought a limited edition LV bag?
In all this lady's years, this was the first time she had been humiliated by a waiter!
How the hell can I tolerate this?!
The little influencer's Face turned the color of pig liver. Feeling humiliated by a waiter, she was instantly enraged.
She pointed her finger at the waiter, trembling with Qi, and snapped Dao: "You... what kind of attitude is this! Where is your manager? I want to file a complaint!"
Hearing the little influencer ask for the manager, Wang Hao's eye twitched. He thought to himself, you really are a piece of work. Didn't you realize what just happened? Do you really need to be humiliated one more time?
Fortunately, the waiter didn't take the little influencer's words seriously at all. Instead, he bowed slightly, completely ignored her, and looked at Wang Hao.
"Sir, this limited edition champagne is truly excellent," he said Dao. "The guests at that table just now were drinking this. They even mentioned that the combination of champagne and seafood is quite wonderful."
The waiter's words seemed to imply something else. Wang Hao subconsciously looked toward Qin Yi's table again and asked Dao: "That table? Which table?"
The waiter bowed and pointed towards Qin Yi's table. Wang Hao followed the direction of his finger and indeed saw the champagne sitting in an ice bucket on Qin Yi's table.
...
Just then, the waiter who had been called over by Qin Yi earlier went back and was respectfully pouring wine for the two of them.
Wang Hao's eye twitched again. He looked back at the waiter beside him and asked Dao in a low voice: "Who paid for that wine?"
"The gentleman, naturally."
The waiter didn't even think or verify; he just said it.
Actually, he didn't know who paid for that wine, but he didn't need to. His goal was to sell wine; he didn't care who paid the bill.
However, this waiter had also seen the conflict between the two tables earlier.
So, he came up with the idea of provoking this rich second-generation kid.
At this moment, Wang Hao grew even more confused. He wondered what was going on with Qin Yi.
Could it be that his family has made a comeback?
That's impossible. If his family had really made a comeback, why didn't he fight back when I bullied him so much this morning?
Seeing that the customer still seemed unmoved, the waiter's eyes darted around. After a brief pause, he provoked Dao further: "If the gentleman finds it too expensive, we actually have some cheaper wines, like Moët & Chandon by Hennessy, for only 1,688..."
Who would have thought that this provocation would actually work?
Wang Hao glared at the waiter and snapped Dao: "Did I say it was expensive?! I'll take that limited edition champagne!"
The waiter was delighted and was about to agree when he heard Wang Hao say Dao: "No! Is there anything more expensive? Does a 21,800 champagne even deserve to be called champagne?"
Hearing this, the waiter was overjoyed. He had run into a real Fat Sheep!
So he immediately Dao: "Yes, sir. We have a bottle of Dom Pérignon P3 Rosé champagne in the shop. It's our most high-end champagne! Aged for 25 years! We only have this one bottle, and the price is 46,200 yuan."
Hearing the waiter's words, Wang Hao immediately regretted it.
But words spoken are like spilled water. Besides, the little influencer he planned to sleep with tonight was right beside him!
For the sake of Face, Wang Hao couldn't take back his words. He had to grit his teeth and put on an indifferent act, waving his hand grandly Dao: "That's more like it. I'll take that one!"
"Certainly, sir. However... the restaurant policy is that drinks are billed separately. Could I trouble you to pay the bill first?" he said Dao.
As a pampered rich second-generation, Wang Hao wouldn't go to pay the bill himself. He directly pulled out a gold card, handed it to the waiter, and said Dao: "There's no password. Just swipe it and bring the receipt for me to sign!"
The waiter took the gold card with a smile, said 'Understood,' and left.
By now, Influencer Face had long forgotten the waiter's humiliation. She looked at Wang Hao with a Face full of admiration and flattered him sweetly: "Brother Hao, you were so manly just now. I love it!"
Wang Hao forced a smile, but his heart was bleeding...
Dammit, 46,200. Nearly half a month's allowance gone just like that!
Wang Hao looked at the little influencer sitting across from him and calculated that tonight, he would definitely get his money's worth out of this woman!
But before that, he had to make Qin Yi pay the price for his arrogance!
With this thought, Wang Hao picked up his phone, opened WeChat, clicked on a profile picture with the nickname Brother Dao, and sent a message.
...
Although Qin Yi and his companion continued their dinner with chatting and laughter, it had become somewhat tasteless.
But considering they had ordered so much, they couldn't let it go to waste, so the two of them patiently continued eating.
However, Xu Qian still felt a bit uneasy. She kept thinking about that woman named Su Mo and what Wang Hao had said earlier...
Seeing her hesitant look, Qin Yi roughly guessed what she was thinking.
So, Qin Yi took a tissue to wipe his mouth, picked up his champagne, and lightly clinked glasses with Xu Qian. Ignoring etiquette, he downed more than half in one gulp and then said Dao slowly: "You must be curious if what Wang Hao said just now is true, right?"
Having her thoughts seen through by Qin Yi, Xu Qian felt a bit embarrassed. She laughed awkwardly and habitually brushed her hair back, putting on a firm expression Dao: "That person definitely said those things just to humiliate you, Young Master Qin. Don't worry, I won't believe a single word he said!"
"Your acting is too fake; it's obvious you're not being sincere."
Qin Yi said Dao, shaking his head with a bitter smile. After a pause, he continued Dao: "Actually, what he said is true. My family's business did run into some problems before, and we owed a lot of external debt. Su Mo, my ex-girlfriend, broke up with me because of that."
"Uh... that's impossible, Young Master Qin. You must be joking. You spent 3.7 billion buying cars at our dealership today..."
Xu Qian didn't believe Qin Yi's words at all. Recalling plots from romance novels she had read, she instantly filled in the blanks with various scenarios.
Then, looking as if she had seen through Qin Yi's thoughts, Xu Qian continued Dao seriously: "Oh... I get it! You must have wanted to test that Su Mo, so you intentionally said your family was out of money, the company was bankrupt, the business failed, and you had debts. Your goal was to see if she truly loved you or just your money!"
Facing Xu Qian's wild imagination, Qin Yi could only respond with a couple of 'he-hes' and a bitterly smiled Dao: "Qianqian, don't you think your imagination is a bit too much? Su Mo and I were together for three years. Would I really use such a trick to deceive her?"
Mentioning Su Mo, Qin Yi's expression darkened again.
Seeing Qin Yi like this, it didn't seem like he was lying. Xu Qian tentatively asked Dao: "So, Young Master Qin, has your family made a comeback?"
"A comeback? Haha, I suppose you could say that."
He had the System now, and on the very first day, his net worth was already over ten billion. This kind of money-making speed was far more than just a comeback!
"That's wonderful. For such a happy occasion, how can we not have a toast?"
Xu Qian said Dao, raising her champagne and looking at Qin Yi. "Young Master Qin, I toast to you. I wish you a successful comeback and a Rebirth after the disaster. From now on, your life will be smooth sailing!"
Qin Yi smiled knowingly, clinked his glass with Xu Qian's, and laughed Dao: "Yes, a Rebirth after the disaster! Qianqian, well said! Come, cheers!"
