"One serving of premium beef." "One serving of grassland lamb." "One serving of layered tripe." "One serving of boneless basa fillets..." In the Haidilao restaurant, Su Xuan rattled off orders from the menu, adding more than a dozen dishes in the blink of an eye. "Brother Su, the two of us can’t eat that much. Let’s not waste money!" Zhou Wanshing said, a little pained. "Money’s no object. Eat whatever you want!" Su Xuan, who had just earned over two billion, said with a grin. "Pfft, you ordered maybe two or three hundred yuan worth of food and you have the gall to say ’money’s no object’? Acting like you’re some big-shot tycoon!" a jarring voice suddenly piped up from the next table. "Yeah, we ordered over five hundred yuan worth of food and we aren’t being that ostentatious!" another person at their table chimed in. "We aren’t bothering you, so why are you talking like that?" Zhou Wanshing was not pleased. She stood up and glared at the two people at the next table. She was here on her mother’s orders for a blind date with Su Xuan, and she absolutely would not let anyone ruin the atmosphere. "Ha!" Su Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw Zhou Wanshing’s brave display. Then, Su Xuan took out his car keys, raised his hand, and pressed a button. His Koenigsegg, parked outside, responded. The two people at the next table glanced out the window, and their expressions turned priceless. Whoa! What kind of sports car is that? At a glance, it looks way different from one that costs a few million! They pulled out their phones to look it up, and their expressions became even more spectacular. Holy crap! A Koenigsegg worth a hundred million yuan! That’s not a car an ordinary person can afford! Even someone worth a billion would probably hesitate to buy it! We can’t afford to mess with him! We really can’t! The two at the next table immediately shut up, not even daring to glance in Su Xuan’s direction anymore. "Brother Su Xuan, you’re so amazing! You made them behave without even saying a word!" Zhou Wanshing sat back down, cupping her face in her small hands as she looked at Su Xuan with pure admiration. "It was nothing," Su Xuan said, waving his hand nonchalantly. Compared to the things he’d done in the past, like the incident with Richard, this was so minor it wasn’t even worth being admired for. Five or six minutes later, all the dishes had arrived. Su Xuan began adding meat and vegetables to the hot pot. "Brother Su, you should eat more!" Once the food was nearly cooked, Zhou Wanshing started picking up pieces for Su Xuan. "Thank you for helping me find a job today. How about I treat you to this meal?" "Don’t!" Su Xuan shook his head and said seriously, "I have to treat you to this meal. You helped me make a lot of money, you know!" "Huh? How did I help you make money?" Zhou Wanshing was puzzled. "It was about the stock price..." Just as Su Xuan was about to explain the details to Zhou Wanshing, his gaze suddenly shifted to the entrance. Three or four men had walked into the restaurant, seemingly in the middle of an argument. One of them was none other than Liu Ming from Lycar! "One second," Su Xuan said to Zhou Wanshing. He stood up and waved to Liu Ming. "Old Liu, over here!" "Boss?!" Liu Ming’s eyes lit up when he saw Su Xuan. He hurried over and asked, "Boss, what are you doing here?" The moment the words left his mouth, Liu Ming saw the cute, beautiful, and sharp-looking Zhou Wanshing. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩 Oh, so the boss is here treating a pretty girl to dinner! "Old Liu, I was about to ask you the same thing. What brings you here?" Su Xuan asked. "Ugh, it’s a long story!" Liu Ming glanced at the men who had come with him and said dejectedly, "They’re suppliers for Lycar. They provided us with over ten million yuan worth of high-end tableware, but there’s a quality issue; the dishes break at the slightest touch. I wanted to return the goods and get a refund for our deposit, but they refused. Not only that, they’re demanding I pay the remaining balance. They’ve been pestering me for days. Today, they cornered me on the street before I even got home, so I had no choice but to bring them here to eat and talk things over!" His home was right near this Haidilao. "How much of the deposit did we pay?" Su Xuan asked. "Half of the total amount, over five million," Liu Ming said listlessly. Just as he said that, the men who came with Liu Ming walked over and rudely sat down, one of them even plopping down next to Zhou Wanshing. She quickly got up and moved to sit beside Su Xuan. "You’re the boss of Lycar?" a beefy-faced man asked Su Xuan. "I am," Su Xuan replied, not bothering to hide his identity. "Even better!" The man grinned. "Then we don’t need to talk to Liu Ming. We’ll deal directly with you. You still owe us a final payment of over five million. We hope you can settle it with us today. Otherwise, we won’t be so polite." "Oh? And how, exactly, will you not be ’so polite’?" Su Xuan glanced at the man, a look of anticipation in his eyes. "Are you planning on getting physical with me?" He had mastered Ruyi Tai Chi and was itching to test it out on a few living people, but he just couldn’t seem to find any suitable opponents. "Rest assured, we’re civilized people. Of course we won’t get physical with you," the man said, much to Su Xuan’s disappointment. "We’ll just reason with you, appealing to your emotions and persuading you with logic, until you give us the money." Su Xuan rubbed his forehead in frustration. Hey! You don’t look like a reasonable person at all! Can you stop being such a coward? Come on! Let’s fight! It’s just over five million! If you win, I’ll give it to you! As if sensing Su Xuan’s thoughts, the man shuffled a little further away from him before continuing, "As the boss of Lycar, you must be a reasonable man, right?" Su Xuan said, "That depends. Sometimes I’m reasonable, sometimes I’m not." The man asked, "For instance?" Su Xuan replied, "For instance, your products are shoddy. We certainly aren’t going to be suckers and buy your stuff. We definitely won’t be paying the final amount. On the contrary, you’ll be refunding our deposit of over five million." "That’s impossible!" the man retorted. "That batch was custom-made for you. It’s printed with your Lycar logo! If you don’t take it, no one will. Our losses would be huge!" "We definitely don’t want it," Su Xuan stated flatly. "Then I guess we’ll just have to reason with you properly!" After saying this, the man picked up his chopsticks and began to eat. He didn’t just eat himself; he gestured for his companions to join in. In the blink of an eye, they had devoured all the food that had just finished cooking in the hot pot. Then, they started adding more ingredients themselves! "If you don’t give us the money, we guarantee you won’t get a single bite to eat tonight," the man declared to Su Xuan. "Not only that, we’ll follow you, all the way to your house, and make sure you can’t sleep a wink all night until you have a complete breakdown!" This scene left Zhou Wanshing stunned. So this is what they meant by ’appealing to emotions and persuading with logic’! How bizarre! She immediately glanced at Su Xuan, wanting to see how he would handle this so she could learn a thing or two. Liu Ming also held his breath, ready to learn from his boss’s example. Su Xuan simply waved his hand, called over a waiter, and ordered dozens of additional dishes. "Er..." The man and his companions stared at each other. Is he trying to stuff us to death? We’ve really run into a tough one this time! A stranger entered the restaurant. He shot a vicious glare at Su Xuan and quietly slipped a hand behind his back, his fingers closing around the hilt of a knife...
