After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

A Michelin three-star French restaurant "in the clouds".

This is one of the most prestigious restaurants in Hanju, known for its expensive food and extremely difficult-to-book reservations.

Especially the "supreme view seat" by the window, which overlooks the entire Hanju River view, has a minimum cost of over 100,000 won.

Jiang Ye stepped out of the elevator and went straight to the entrance of the "Cloud" restaurant.

The restaurant manager was clearly a very perceptive person. Although Jiang Ye was dressed casually, the Patek Philippe watch he had just bought on his wrist showed his considerable wealth.

"Hello sir, do you have a reservation?" the manager greeted him respectfully.

"No. Is that window seat with the best view taken?" Jiang Ye pointed to the best spot at the far end of the lobby.

"That seat is currently vacant, but sir, the minimum charge for that seat is..."

"Lead the way." Jiang Ye was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and interrupted him directly.

The manager immediately understood and bent down to lead Jiang Ye to the VIP seat with the best view.

Jiang Ye had just sat down and taken a sip of the lemon water the waiter had poured when he heard a commotion coming from the restaurant entrance.

"Manager Gu, you've really gone to great lengths for us today! This is a Michelin three-star restaurant; we usually don't even dare to step inside!"

"Yes, Manager Gu just took office as department manager and he's already treating us to such a high-class place for dinner. He's so generous!"

Accompanied by a chorus of flattering voices, Gu Ziming entered the restaurant surrounded by a group of people.

Walking beside Gu Ziming was Shen Qinghan's younger sister, Shen Yinyin.

It turns out that Gu Ziming was officially appointed as the manager of a core department of the Shen Group by Shen Qinghan today. In order to win people's hearts, he specially brought more than a dozen employees from the department, as well as Shen Yinyin, to this Michelin-starred restaurant for a celebratory dinner.

To show off, Gu Ziming gritted his teeth and booked a long table in the middle of the hall.

Just as the group reached the long table and were about to sit down, the sharp-eyed Shen Yinyin suddenly spotted Jiang Ye sitting in a scenic spot not far away.

"Hey everyone, look! Isn't that our Shen family's former full-time nanny who was always the one who drove us?"

Shen Yinyin immediately raised her voice, as if afraid others wouldn't hear her, and pointed in Jiang Ye's direction, mocking him sharply: "Jiang Ye, you really have a thick skin! You were kicked out by my sister, and you've even lost your job, yet you're still sneaking over to our department's dinner party like a dog, trying to freeload?"

As soon as Shen Yinyin finished speaking, the department employees who came with Gu Ziming all turned to look at Jiang Ye, their eyes filled with disdain and contempt.

They all knew that Jiang Ye was Shen Qinghan's ex-husband, and that he had no status in the Shen family and was just a good-for-nothing who lived off his wife.

Gu Ziming followed Shen Yinyin's finger and saw Jiang Ye sitting there all alone. A smug smirk appeared on his lips.

He straightened his suit and tie, walked to Jiang Ye's desk, and looked down at him.

"Jiang Ye, since we've run into each other, it must be fate."

Gu Ziming waved his hand dismissively, speaking in a condescending tone, "I know you're divorced now and have no income, so life must be tough for you."

As he spoke, Gu Ziming took a menu from the waiter next to him and threw it in front of Jiang Ye with a "thud".

"I just took office as department manager today, so I'm in a good mood. Feel free to order whatever you like from this menu!"

Gu Ziming's words drew laughter from the employees behind him.

Jiang Ye didn't even lift an eyelid in the face of Gu Ziming's charity and the ridicule of the crowd.

He just smiled and said, "Since someone's treating, I won't stand on ceremony!"

He then called over the restaurant manager who was standing respectfully to the side.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" The manager immediately stepped forward.

"Bring out the best things in your shop." Jiang Ye said calmly, "Start with two servings of top-grade Almas white caviar, the oldest variety. For the main course, we'll have Australian M12 purebred Wagyu tomahawk steak, with white truffles. For seafood, we'll have a bluefin tuna belly sashimi, plus two French blue lobsters."

At this point, Jiang Ye paused, glanced at Gu Ziming standing beside him whose face was starting to stiffen, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"Since Manager Gu is so generous as to offer to treat us, the wine can't be too meager. Go to your wine cellar and bring over two bottles of 1990 Romanée-Conti, let them decan first."

As soon as Jiang Ye said this, the entire restaurant fell silent.

The restaurant manager standing next to him gasped, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

He had worked at this restaurant for so many years and had never seen a customer order such an extravagant amount of food.

"Sir... are you sure you want to order these?" The manager swallowed hard, cautiously confirming, "These ingredients are all very precious, especially those two bottles of 90 Romanée-Conti. We only have two bottles left in our store, and each bottle costs over two hundred thousand..."

"What? Someone's treating? Are you worried no one will pay?" Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow.

"No, no, no, I'll go prepare it right away!" The manager dared not offend such a guest sitting in the most prestigious seat, so he quickly bowed and ran to the kitchen to make the arrangements.

Meanwhile, Gu Ziming and Shen Yinyin, who were standing by the table, were completely dumbfounded.

"Jiang Ye! Are you crazy?!"

Shen Yinyin was the first to react, pointing her finger at Jiang Ye and yelling, "You ordered so many top-quality ingredients, and two bottles of wine worth hundreds of thousands! Do you think Manager Gu will pay for this kind of unfair expense?! Aren't you afraid of ruining your poor, delicate stomach?!"

Gu Ziming's face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.

He originally just wanted to show off in front of his subordinates and humiliate Jiang Ye, but who knew that this madman would actually take advantage of the situation and order such expensive food in one go!

"Jiang Ye, stop trying to impress me!" Gu Ziming gritted his teeth and sneered, "You think you can scare me by just rattling off a few dishes? Let me tell you, I'm not paying for your random order. When it's time to settle the bill, let's see what you're going to use! You can just wait to have your legs broken by security and be thrown out!"

Just then, a cool voice came from the restaurant entrance.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"

Everyone turned around and saw Shen Qinghan walking over, holding Shen Xinyu's hand and frowning. They had just bought toys downstairs, and Shen Qinghan had brought her daughter upstairs to meet Gu Ziming.

"Sis! You've come at the perfect time!"

Shen Yinyin rushed over to complain as if she had seen a savior: "Jiang Ye, that shameless good-for-nothing, not only came here to freeload, but Gu Ziming kindly asked him to order some food and treated him to a meal, and he actually went too far, ordering two bottles of Romanée-Conti and a bunch of top-quality ingredients! He did this on purpose!"

Shen Qinghan frowned even more deeply after hearing this.

She walked to Jiang Ye's table, looked at him who was still sitting there as steady as a mountain, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

"Jiang Ye, haven't you made enough of a scene?"

Shen Qinghan looked at him coldly with an air of condescension: "I know you're resentful about our divorce. But even if you're unhappy, you shouldn't resort to such despicable methods to gain attention, and you certainly shouldn't try to sabotage Zi Mo!"

"You think you can salvage your pathetic self-esteem by ordering a table full of exorbitantly priced dishes? How naive and ridiculous!"

Shen Qinghan sighed, took out a bank card from her bag, and turned to look at the restaurant manager who had just served the appetizers.

"Manager, I'll pay for the dishes he just ordered. Out of consideration for our past as husband and wife."

The restaurant manager paused for a moment, glanced at the ordinary bank card in Shen Qinghan's hand, then at Jiang Ye sitting there with a half-smile, and his expression became somewhat strange.

"Madam, are you sure you want to settle this gentleman's bill?" the manager asked politely.

"Of course. Swipe your card, how much?" Shen Qinghan impatiently handed over the card.

The manager smiled and announced a number.

"Madam, the dishes and drinks this gentleman just ordered, plus a 15% service charge, total... 865,000 yuan!"

"How many?!"

Shen Qinghan's eyes widened suddenly, his originally aloof and arrogant face instantly froze on the spot, and his face turned deathly pale in an instant.

860,000?!

One meal cost the price of a house?!
