The waiter came over.

"Sir, the total is 218,000."

"How much did you say?"

Chen Hongsheng doubted that he had heard correctly.

Liu Min suddenly stood up:

"What kind of restaurant is this? Are you trying to extort us? Do you think we've never eaten seafood before? Two hundred and one thousand for just this one table?"

The waiter quickly explained, "Sir, madam, please calm down. Our ingredients are all fresh, top-quality, caught that day from the sea, and our preparation methods are also top-notch. Everything is clearly priced."

"What do you mean by 'clearly marked prices'? Where are there clearly marked prices?"

Liu Min glared and roared.

The waiter picked up the menu from the table and handed it to Liu Min.

"Miss, the menu has always been here, please take a look."

Liu Min angrily took it, opened it, and immediately felt a chill run down her spine.

Chen Hongsheng snatched the menu and was also horrified when he saw it.

Those seafood items were all four or five times more expensive than the market price.

It really does come to over two hundred thousand.

"Why...why are you charging so much? I'm going to file a complaint!"

His eyes widened and his face turned pale.

The waiter said:

"Sir, our specialty is high-end seafood. From the selection of ingredients to the preparation, everything is of the highest standard. This price is normal."

If you have any objections, you can file a complaint with the relevant department, but please settle your bill now.

Chen Hongsheng's face turned pale and then flushed.

Where did he get so much cash all of a sudden? 210,000?

I got ripped off by that country bumpkin today.

Chen Yi smiled inwardly. This hotel was newly opened, and it was normal for Chen Hongsheng not to have looked at the menu and not know the prices.

He saw it all very clearly.

Aren't you rich?

Look how rich you are.

At this moment, Chen Hongsheng and his wife looked so embarrassed they could practically dig out a five-story villa.

He smiled slightly: "Brother Hongsheng, forget it, let's do it."

He then said to Xu Linwei, "Linwei, go and settle the bill."

"Okay, waiter, over here."

Xu Linwei quickly took out her card and handed it to the waiter.

At this moment, Chen Hongsheng wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

I was just humiliated by that kid for being a man. I thought I could show off with my million-dollar annual salary, but I was humiliated again.

Chen Yi smiled and said, "I definitely can't afford it with just over ten thousand a month, but my wife is rich."

boom!

Murder and kill!

Chen Hongsheng was furious!

He had heard Liu Min say that Xu Linwei was a rich heiress who took over her family's company after graduation.

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating!

He works from morning till night, giving most of his earnings to his girlfriend, and he is very strict with himself.

Look at them, they're supported by their wives and can live a carefree life.

How can there be such a huge difference in how people behave?

Deadbeat gigolo!

He could only curse inwardly to try and find some balance.

But Liu Min didn't actually know how rich Xu Linwei's family was, or how big a company Xu Linwei had taken over.

After all, Xu Linwei used to be very low-key at school.

The waiter glanced at Chen Hongsheng coldly, unable to hide his mockery.

She had seen plenty of people who tried to put on a brave face but ultimately failed in their attempt to impress others.

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit strode in.

"Manager Wang!"

The waiter quickly bowed in greeting.

Manager Wang ignored her and glanced at the four people before politely saying:

"Excuse me, which one of you is Mr. Chen?"

"Oh, that's me."

Chen Hongsheng quickly stepped forward and said.

Manager Wang glanced at Chen Hongsheng, his eyes immediately lighting up with a smile, and then walked up to him and bowed respectfully.

"Hello Mr. Chen, our CEO said that your presence is a great honor, and he's treating us to dinner today."

What?

Chen Hongsheng was overjoyed.

Someone actually treated him to this seafood feast!

He was just worried about not having enough money to pay the bill and being so embarrassed, when someone offered to pay for him.

It's like handing a pillow to someone who's about to fall asleep!

But who is this president that Manager Wang is talking about?

Who would be so generous as to pay for his bill of over 200,000?

He quickly and cautiously asked:

"Mr. Wang, may I ask who your CEO is?"

Manager Wang smiled and said, "Our president is Lu Jie, the young master of the Lu family. This is his newly opened hotel."

Lu Jie!

Chen Yi's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

This guy actually opened such a big hotel.

Are they switching from investing to real businesses?

It's good to be rich; you can do whatever you want, and if you lose money, someone will bail you out.

At the same time, Chen Hongsheng's eyes lit up.

"Oh, you mean Young Master Lu? No wonder, Young Master Lu and I are on good terms. Where is your CEO? I'd like to go and thank him in person."

He naturally remembered this Young Master Lu.

The Lu family is a well-known conglomerate nationwide. Young Master Lu once consulted their law firm about a case, and it was this firm that handled it and even prepared a detailed plan for Young Master Lu.

I never expected that Young Master Lu would be so sentimental. Just because he consulted me once, he paid for my bill of over 200,000 yuan.

What?

Chen Yi was greatly surprised.

This guy has such a thick skin?

Why do you take everything upon yourself?

Will Lu Jie pay for your sake?

"Fine," he thought to himself with a smirk. "Keep pretending. I'll be waiting to see the show."

Manager Wang said, "When our General Manager Lu heard that Mr. Chen had arrived, he rushed over from home immediately. He should be here soon. He specifically asked me to ask Mr. Chen to wait a moment so we can catch up."

"Oh, okay! Okay!"

Chen Hongsheng was overjoyed.

What merit or ability does Chen Hongsheng possess that even Young Master Lu would seek him out for a reunion?

This is truly a blessing from heaven!

Manager Wang waved.

The waiter brought over two bottles of high-end red wine.

Manager Wang said, "Mr. Chen, please have a seat for a while. President Lu will be here soon, so I won't disturb you any longer."

"Alright, Manager Wang, take care."

Chen Hongsheng escorted Manager Wang all the way to the door.

Looking back, I'm beaming with joy.

"Speaking of this Mr. Lu, he really appreciates me. Last time I helped him with a financial plan, which saved him a lot of trouble."

Chen Hongsheng said smugly.

He glanced at Chen Yi, his eyes once again filled with a sense of superiority.

"Brother Yi, you're still young. Let me give you a piece of advice. Being a doctor is a good career choice. Focus on honing your skills."

"As long as you have a solid skill, like my expertise in law, you might one day be able to make connections with a very important person. Then you'll soar to great heights."

Liu Min's anger and embarrassment vanished, and she was now extremely proud.

"Lin Wei, my husband is an expert in the legal field, and many high-ranking officials and dignitaries consult him. He has a wide network of connections in Beijing."

"Yes, yes, Brother Hongsheng is absolutely right. I have learned a lot from your teachings."

Chen Yi smiled and feigned compliance.

Xu Linwei could hardly contain her laughter.

That guy, he taught my husband how to make friends with important people.

Don't you know that my husband is a very powerful and influential person?

Whom does he need to befriend?

"Brother Yi, when Young Master Lu arrives later, I'll introduce you. If you can seize the opportunity, you'll be set for life."

Chen Hongsheng patted Chen Yi on the shoulder with great satisfaction, extremely happy.

Chen Yi listened to him rambling on and on.

The music played for almost ten minutes before the door to the private room opened.

A neatly dressed young man walked in hurriedly, looking up and around.

Behind him followed a stunningly beautiful woman in a red dress.

"Young Master Lu, you've finally arrived. Thank you so much for today."

Chen Hongsheng was extremely excited, his face beaming with smiles, and he strode forward to greet him...
