Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 25 Customer Priorities
"After all, he's been through so much!"

When talking about this former hot topic in class, another girl was also touched. "He is only a sophomore. When we were all busy taking the CET-4 and CET-6, he had already started his own business. This shows that he already knew what society values..."

"Hey, Miao Xiaoling, did you still like Zhou Wang at that time?"

Yu Peipei smiled evilly and said, "I remember you seemed to have written a love letter, but you didn't send it out..."

"Peipei, stop talking nonsense."

Fang Lu righteously corrected Yu Peipei, "Miao Xiaoling didn't like me at that time, she obviously still likes me now!"

"Ah, I will fight with you!"

Miao Xiaoling, with red cheeks, rushed over, and the girls immediately became a mess.

Li Sheng on the side shook his head. He was not surprised to hear such news suddenly. Before Zhou Wang became decadent, there were many girls who liked him.

It’s a pity that Brother Gou just wanted to prove himself too much, or maybe he also wanted to be worthy of Ding Yi at that time?

Li Sheng, who thought he had a smooth logic, couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhou Wang. There were so many younger sisters waiting for him when he was a freshman and sophomore, but he ended up hanging himself on a tree.

Now, I haven’t been to the Western Paradise, and I can’t go back to the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Li Sheng actually felt a little pity for Zhou Wang and wanted to send him another message to comfort him!

"Hello, classmates, long time no see!"

At this time, Ding Yi, who was pestered by several girlfriends to take photos, finally broke away.

"Happy birthday, Xiao Ding!"

"Baby, you look so beautiful today..."

Seeing Ding Yi coming, everyone stopped playing and the girls gathered around him, leaving only Li Sheng and another boy sitting in their seats.

They themselves are not familiar with Ding Yi, but their girlfriends are all on good terms with Ding Yi. They are purely companions, and there is a sense of mutual admiration between them at this time.

At this time, after Ding Yi had been intimate with a group of girls, she suddenly remembered something and patted her smooth forehead, "By the way, Lulu, Peipei, and Xiaoyuan, don't you all want to take the postgraduate entrance examination of our school? I'll introduce someone to you, maybe it will be helpful to you."

"I can't give you any advice myself. After all, you know I was admitted by recommendation, hehe..."

Seeing Ding Yi's smug look, several girls laughed and made noises again. Then they saw Ding Yi leave and return to the inner hall. Soon he came back with another girl.

This is obviously an older sister. What really makes all the girls' eyes shine is that this older sister is not only super beautiful, but her abstinent and cold temperament also really hits their excitement points.

"Ah, kill me, kill me!"

Especially veteran fujoshi like Fang Lu, who kept shouting in her heart.

Seeing Jiang Mo coming, Li Sheng, Yu Peipei and others who were in the lobby just now were a little surprised. Isn’t this the sister they saw before?
"She is Senior Sister Jiang Mo, and a student of Professor Wang Hongying. She is two years older than us in undergraduate studies. She was admitted to graduate school based on her own abilities. You can ask her anything you want to ask!"

Ding Yi introduced everyone and asked Jiang Mo to sit here. She looked up with some surprise.

Everyone is almost here, and the next step is to serve the food, but why has Lu Jin not come back for so long?
……

At the door of the kitchen of the Chinese restaurant, Lu Jin was standing here in astonishment. In front of him was Liu Zhiming, the deputy manager of the catering department who helped him arrange a private room today.

Their family is engaged in lighting engineering and they usually have a lot of receptions and social events. Since they often entertain guests in the restaurant of this hotel, Lu Jin and Manager Liu are quite familiar with each other.

It was because Lu Jin had heard from Manager Liu that the mainstay of their catering department, the executive chef Mr. Luo Wenle, would be on duty at the hotel in the next two days that he became interested.

Through his parents' introduction, he has actually known Ding Yi for quite some time.

Due to the difference in family background between the two families, his parents have always supported him in winning over Ding Yi. Even if that is not the case, Ding Yi's outstanding appearance alone is enough to make Lu Jin's heart flutter. However, Lu Jin, who has always been successful in picking up girls, has been unable to get close to Ding Yi.

It seemed that the two of them were already very familiar with each other, but Lu Jin could see that Ding Yi was only superficially friendly to him. Over half a year had passed, and he still hadn't had a date with her alone.

Mr. Lu is anxious!

As for the things he is good at, such as being humorous, willing to spend money, being able to organize parties, and being the king of dice...it can be said that they are of no use at all in front of a girl like Ding Yi.

Fortunately, he still had some understanding of Ding Yi and knew that he was a typical foodie.

So he took advantage of Luo Wenle's gimmick and successfully persuaded Ding Yi to book a restaurant for his birthday party. This was a huge progress in Lu Jin's view.

I can help you arrange your birthday, so that must be much better than just being an ordinary friend, right?
But now...

"Chef Luo doesn't have time?"

Lu Jin waited for a long time, but ended up hearing this sentence. Naturally, he found it hard to accept.

"Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Lu... I had already asked Chef Luo for permission in advance, and he was happy to help, but there were some urgent matters that needed to be dealt with..."

Liu Zhiming seemed very embarrassed on the surface, but he was actually very calm inside, even a little disdainful.

Of course he knew what was going on.

Originally, facing a barely important client like Lu Jin, Luo Wenle was still willing to cook himself to maintain the relationship, but who would have known that the distinguished guest staying in the presidential suite would actually come to the restaurant for dinner today.

Compared with the other party, Lu Jin's priority will be put at the back.

Although Lu Jin's company's various expenses in the restaurant can reach 200,000 yuan a year, the cost of accommodation for that guest for half a month alone was close to 400,000 yuan.

Note that this is just accommodation.

Which is lighter and heavier, at a glance.

But if Liu Zhiming really cared, it was not completely impossible to coordinate. He could have made an appointment with Chef Luo in advance. Even for the sake of the hotel's reputation, Chef Luo would give priority to Lu Jin. But the problem was -

Liu Zhiming essentially doesn't care, and the reason is very simple.

Although the two are familiar with each other, and Lu Jin's company has hosted many banquets for him here, but this Young Master Lu is also very generous in taking kickbacks from him!

Being rich and being stingy are not contradictory.

As far as Liu Zhiming personally was concerned, he really didn't gain much benefit from Lu Jin.

So Liu Zhiming looked very sorry on the surface, but in fact he was calm inside. He was just finding a euphemistic excuse to deal with Lu Jin.

"Don't worry, Master Lu. I will arrange for another top-ranked chef to cook for you personally and make sure you are satisfied with the meal!"

Seeing Lu Jin's grim expression, Liu Zhiming quickly smiled and patted his chest and said.

"Then... let's do it."

At this point, even Lu Jin couldn't tie up Chef Luo. Given his status, he didn't need to give him any face. Although he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, he could only nod reluctantly.

On the way back to the private room, Lu Jin frowned, thinking about how to explain to Ding Yi, but he accidentally bumped into another person who was walking towards him.

"Don't you have eyes?"

Lu Jin, who was in a bad mood, had no intention of apologizing. Instead, he raised his head unhappily and saw that the man was also staring at him with a frown.
