“Mei, how much money did he give you?”
“I’ll pay you, okay? It was not easy to get a reservation at this restaurant, we can’t just walk away like this!”
The man really wanted to flaunt his wealth in front of his goddess. He felt it was embarrassing to have someone outright buy the reservation he had worked so hard to secure at the restaurant.
Zhang Meimei looked at the man with disdain. She knew full well the extent of this lickspittle’s spending power; having a meal at Mitsui Cuisine was already his limit. It was impossible for him to spend ten thousand yuan to buy a seat.
“Yang, I’ll go have a word with the waiter.”
Zhang Meimei took the initiative to go to the front desk and explained the situation to the waiter.
Actually, the female receptionist had been paying attention to the situation here all along. Although she did not know how much money Yang Hao had spent, it was definitely an amount that Miss Zhang could not refuse.
“Yang, enjoy your meal!”
Before leaving, Zhang Meimei nodded and smiled at Yang Hao. To her, whether or not she got to eat this meal was no longer important. What was important was that she met someone willing to spend ten thousand yuan for a seat.
The two had already added each other on WeChat, so there were plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.
“Mei, don’t go!”
“We agreed to have dinner together!”
The man hurried to catch up with Zhang Meimei’s steps, mumbling non-stop: “How much money did he give you? I’ll give it to you.”
“You booked the restaurant several days in advance and waited so long; it’s a pity to just hand it over to someone else like this.”
At this point, the two had already left the restaurant’s vicinity. Seeing that Yang Hao and his party had entered the restaurant, Zhang Meimei finally stopped, and then thrust Yang Hao’s transfer record in front of the man: “Do you think it’s important to check in at this restaurant a few days later, or is ten thousand yuan more important?”
“Huh?”
“Ten thousand??”
The man was stunned. His monthly salary was only about ten thousand yuan, and that man just spent a whole month’s salary on a reservation.
No wonder Zhang Meimei agreed so readily. It truly was an irresistible price!!
“Did you say you would pay this amount?”
Zhang Meimei looked at the man and asked.
“Uh, this…”
The man hesitated, not knowing how to respond.
Zhang Meimei simply huffed: “So there’s no reason for me to refuse.”
“I’m a bit tired today, I’m going home!”
Although Zhang Meimei said she was going home, she had already planned her shopping trip. After all, she had earned ten thousand yuan; she had to reward herself.
“Don’t, we can just go to another restaurant!”
The man came to his senses and took the initiative to suggest again.
“I’m not in the mood today, let’s talk some other time!” Zhang Meimei was too lazy to waste words on this sycophant and strode towards the elevator.
Inside Mitsui Cuisine.
Zhou Mingyue and Su Wenwen, who were already seated, both stared at Yang Hao with big eyes, showing incredulous expressions on their still somewhat childish faces.
“Mr. Yang, how did you manage that?”
Zhou Mingyue asked curiously.
“Simple, I just bought this reservation.”
Yang Hao replied truthfully.
“What?”
“That works!”
The two girls exchanged glances, both feeling as if a new thought process had been unlocked; so, if you can’t book a restaurant, you can just buy your way in!
In truth, this was the same principle as scalping tickets. The only difference was that the two girls had not yet developed the mindset to solve problems with money.
However, in reality, money can solve 99% of the problems in this world. Ordinary people tend to think of various methods to tackle an issue when they encounter one.
Rich people prefer to pave the way with money—it’s the most convenient and fastest method. For the wealthy, time is money; rather than wasting time thinking of other solutions, it’s simpler just to spend the money.
“Mr. Yang, how much money did you spend?”
Zhou Mingyue pressed on with her question.
“It doesn’t matter how much I spent. What matters is that we are sitting here now.”
Having said that, Yang Hao turned to a waiter standing by: “Bring us all your signature dishes!”
“What??”
The waiter was startled: “Sir, are you sure you want everything?”
“Yes, everything!”
Yang Hao, with an air of nonchalance, waved his hand: “Go place the order!”
“Uh, okay!”
The waiter nodded and hurried away. The average spend per person at Mitsui Cuisine was over a thousand yuan. But this was just an average; the ceiling was much higher. If all the high-end ingredients were ordered, it could cost tens of thousands for one meal.
This way of ordering left Zhou Mingyue and Su Wenwen dumbstruck. The restaurant was all the rage recently and had adopted a high-end approach, which was very attractive to young girls like them. They just wanted to come to check in and snap some photos, and never dared to imagine ordering the entire menu like Yang Hao did.
Once again, both girls’ eyes fell on Yang Hao. They felt they had underestimated this handsome uncle; his level of extravagance seemed to exceed their imagination.
Little White Flower Chen Ruohan, however, was much calmer. After all, her Uncle Yang was the boss of Tianmei Media with a net worth of several billion. Spending this amount of money was naturally no big deal for him.
As a self-proclaimed girlfriend, she was not only calm at the moment but also very smug. When Zhou Mingyue and Su Wenwen found out she had found an old man to be her boyfriend, although they didn’t say anything on the surface, it was clear they looked down on her a bit.
Now, they were shocked by Yang Hao’s extravagant display!
“Hello, sir.”
“I am the manager of Mitsui Cuisine, my last name is Feng.”
“The server just told me that you would like to order one of every dish, I came to confirm that?”
“Today we have fresh blue dragon and emperor crab, the blue dragon weighs 5.6 jin, priced at 3800 per jin, and the emperor crab also weighs 3.8 jin, priced at 3200 per jin. Would you like to order both?”
Customers like Yang Hao who order one of every dish are extremely rare, Mitsui Cuisine has never encountered such a case since its opening.
That’s why Manager Feng came to confirm the customer’s intentions, to make sure he wasn’t here to cause trouble.
But after seeing Yang Hao and the three beautiful girls he brought, he knew this man had the capacity to spend, and he proceeded to promote the most high-end ingredients in the restaurant.
“Yes, we’ll take them all!”
Yang Hao waved his hand nonchalantly, he wasn’t afraid of spending money; he was afraid of not spending enough.
“If there are any other fresh ingredients, feel free to serve them!”
Yang Hao added another sentence.
“Very well, may I know your honored last name?”
“No need for honorifics, just call me Yang.”
“Mr. Yang, hello, I’m delighted you chose Mitsui Cuisine. Please follow me to the VIP room, where the environment is better and more spacious…”
Ordinary customers need to make a reservation, but the restaurant always reserves one or two VIP rooms for those regular big spenders.
Yang Hao nodded and led the three girls to the VIP room, silently complaining in his heart that if he had known about this service, he wouldn’t have needed to find Zhang Meimei to buy a reservation.
But, the “System” will reimburse the money, right?
Even if it doesn’t reimburse, who cares, it’s just ten thousand yuan anyway.
The decor in the private room continued the overall style of the restaurant but was more exquisite and much more spacious than the outside area.
After they sat down, Zhou Mingyue and Su Wenwen instinctively took out their phones to start taking selfies. In the past, Chen Ruohan would probably have taken out her phone and snapped a few beautiful photos, but today was different. Her attention was all on Yang Hao, and selfies and food were secondary. Winning over her dear Mr. Yang was the primary goal.
So, she stayed close to Yang Hao throughout, as docile as a little lamb.
“Mr. Yang, the money you just gave to that woman seems to have been wasted.”
After taking selfies, Su Wenwen said with a giggling smile.
“It doesn’t matter, it’s just ten thousand yuan!”
Yang Hao casually waved his hand.
Ah??
Ten thousand!!
When Zhou Mingyue asked about it before, Yang Hao had not mentioned the price. The revelation that he had spent ten thousand yuan just for a reservation left the two girls exclaiming in surprise.
However, considering how much the lobster and emperor crab were about to cost, which seemed to be twenty or thirty thousand, they came to terms with it.
This Mr. Yang was undoubtedly a true tycoon!
The gazes of both girls inadvertently fell on Chen Ruohan, understanding why their high school classmate chose to be with an older man.
With such a tall, handsome and wealthy man, they too wouldn’t mind having one.
“Mr. Yang, what do you do for work?” Zhou Mingyue asked curiously.
“I do business.”
Yang Hao replied nonchalantly, seeing no need to brag about his career to the two girls.
“Oh, okay.”
Seeing that Yang Hao didn’t respond directly, Zhou Mingyue didn’t pursue the matter further.
“I’m going to use the restroom. You guys chat.”
Yang Hao stood up and left the room. One of the biggest drawbacks of having a store inside a shopping mall is that the restrooms are not inside the store, and sometimes you even have to walk quite a distance.
After Yang Hao left, Zhou Mingyue and Su Wenwen immediately encircled Chen Ruohan.
“Ruohan, what’s the story with your Mr. Yang?
“A casual meal costing tens of thousands, that’s quite extravagant!”
Facing their questions, Chen Ruohan tilted her mouth proudly, “Our Mr. Yang is a CEO, the kind you often see in TV dramas, the domineering kind!”
Although her two high school classmates had neither her figure nor her looks, Chen Ruohan, the little white flower, still maintained a certain defensiveness and did not reveal too much about Yang Hao, to prevent them from setting their sights on her dear Mr. Yang.
“Wow, that’s straight out of ‘Domineering CEO’s Love!'”
“It should be ‘The Overbearing CEO and His Delicate Wife’!”
Zhou Mingyue and Su Wenwen were both teasing with a smiling expression.
Chen Ruohan also showed a bright smile on her face when suddenly her phone chimed with a message from the faithful Fang Ke: Hanhan, how about we go to the cafeteria for dinner tonight? I can treat you to anything you want to eat.
After glancing at the text, Chen Ruohan put her phone aside, too lazy to reply.
In fact, she had several guys like Fang Ke in her WeChat, all vying for her attention. However, Chen Ruohan thought that once she had Mr. Yang pinned down, she would block all these admirers.
How could a domineering CEO like Mr. Yang allow his woman to entertain suitors!?
A sensible girl would naturally get rid of her admirers and then become a well-behaved canary…
