Just as the manager was about to ask him who he was, he realized that Chu Yang was dressed top to toe in designer clothing and quickly changed his tone.

“Sir, we have a waiter here who brought the wrong dishes. I was about to fire her.”

“I think there must be some misunderstanding. This waiter is my classmate. I know how smart she is. She would never make such a mistake.”

Chu Yang spoke to the manager with a serious expression.

“There should be a surveillance camera in your shop. Why don’t you pull the footage out and take a look? I believe you wouldn’t accuse a little girl without any evidence.”

“Sir, what you said makes sense. Xiao Zhang, go check the surveillance footage and see if Xiao Hong has talked to Lu Shan.”

The manager didn’t want to listen to Chu Yang in the first place, but after realizing that just his outfit cost at least 60,000 yuan, he was taken aback.

It was better not to offend someone who could wear such expensive clothes. Moreover, he also felt that he was being a little presumptuous and therefore asked one of his subordinates to check the surveillance footage.

It did not even take much effort to check the footage now. Why would he offend someone for no reason?

Soon, the person the manager asked to check the surveillance footage returned.

“Manager, I checked the surveillance footage just now and found that Xiao Hong was indeed holding a plate and talking to Lu Shan.”

“Xiao Hong, didn’t you say you were in the toilet?” When the manager heard the report from his subordinate, a trace of anger suddenly arose in his heart. This little waiter was making use of him.

“Manager, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I must have made a mistake. Yes, I must have made a mistake and remembered wrongly.” When Xiao Hong heard the manager’s angry tone, he also got very flustered and hurriedly explained.

“You made a mistake? Do you think I’m a fool? You don’t have to come back for work anymore. You are fired. Get out of this shop immediately,” shouted the manager angrily after hearing Xiao Hong’s words, which felt like an insult to him. 

Seeing the manager so furious, Xiao Hong could only walk away dejectedly.

“Lu Shan, you can continue to work here.” After saying that, the manager left.

“Chu Yang, thank you for helping me.” After the manager left, Lu Shan raised her head to thank Chu Yang. It was obvious that she had recognized the boy who had helped her out of her predicament as her classmate.

“Don’t worry about it. We’re classmates. Classmates should help each other,” Chu Yang said to Lu Shan with a smile.

Lu Shan also smiled when she heard Chu Yang’s words. She felt a lot better.

“Haha, thank you then. I’ll treat you to dinner tonight!” Lu Shan said to Chu Yang after thinking for a while.

“Haha, there’s no need. I can’t let you treat me to dinner over such a minor issue,” Chu Yang quickly declined when he heard Lu Shan’s words.

“You’re coming. It’s settled. I had wanted to treat you to a meal here, but the breakfast here is a little expensive, so I’ll treat you to a nice meal later.”

Lu Shan’s cute little face turned a little fierce as she said this to Chu Yang.

At first, Lu Shan did intend to treat Chu Yang to breakfast right there, but after working here for some time, she also knew the prices of the food there. Any ordinary person would have to spend five to six hundred yuan for a meal here.

Chu Yang suddenly saw how cute Lu Shan was and was a little infatuated. For a moment, he did not think of answering her question. Instead, he simply kept staring at her.

“Hey, are you going to accept my invitation or not?” Lu Shan could not help but blush when she saw Chu Yang’s face. She lowered her head and whispered to Chu Yang.

“Oh, okay, I’ll accept it then.” Hearing Lu Shan’s words, Chu Yang came back to his senses and replied to Lu Shan awkwardly.

“That’s settled then. Come and look for me at noon. After I get off work, we’ll go for a meal together. I’ll go get the menu for you,” Lu Shan said to Chu Yang and ran away.

“Great.” Chu Yang looked at Lu Shan’s back and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Lu Shan, who was going to get the menu, also revealed a smile. When she was at her most helpless, it felt pretty good to have someone suddenly appear and protect her.

“Take your time eating. I’ll be heading back to work.” After giving Chu Yang the menu, Lu Shan went off to busy herself.

After opening the menu that Lu Shan handed to him, Chu Yang’s first thought was that what Lu Shan said was true. The food here was indeed quite expensive. Damn, just a serving of shrimp dumplings costs more than 100 yuan.

Was this what it means to live luxuriously?

Chu Yang looked at the menu and ordered a serving of shrimp dumplings and some other dishes. He then ordered a bowl of soup. It added up to about 1,000 yuan in total. This was about what he had spent on food the previous month.

After ordering, Chu Yang waited for the food to be served. At the same time, he took out his cell phone and opened the bridge game. He wanted to kill some of his free time and get closer to 1,000 wins.

After playing just two games, the food was served. This was very efficient service. Chu Yang looked up at the breakfast in front of him.

His first impression of the breakfast here was that it looked good. It was very exquisite. Chu Yang picked up a shrimp dumpling.

“Well, the taste of the dumpling is indeed very good. It’s better than any shrimp dumpling I’ve eaten before.” Chu Yang praised before attacking the rest of the food on the table.

Soon, Chu Yang finished the food in front of him and went to the cashier to pay the bill.

“Lu Shan, I’ll head back first then. I’ll pick you up at noon,” Chu Yang saw Lu Shan walking towards him and said to her.

“Mm, okay.”

After hearing Lu Shan respond, Chu Yang walked out of the door, ready to go back to the dormitory to play bridge.

“Lu Shan, was that your boyfriend just now? He’s so handsome,” the colleague at the cashier said to Lu Shan as he tidied up the cashier.

“No, he’s not. We’re just classmates.” Lu Shan blushed again when she heard the colleagues’ words.

“Ohh, so you’re just friends.” The colleague gave Lu Shan a thoughtful expression.

“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. But Lu Shan, your friend is quite rich and seems to be interested in you. If you’re interested in him as well, you’d better make a move quick.”

Her colleague saw Lu Shan’s shy look and stopped teasing her. Instead, he pointed at the screen at the cash register and said to Lu Shan.

“Your classmate spent more than 1,000 yuan for breakfast.”

“More than 1,000 yuan?” Lu Shan was a little stunned when she heard this. Chu Yang had spent more than 1,000 yuan for breakfast. What should she treat him to for lunch then? She felt stumped.

“And look at his coat. That’s an HSAIH coat, a very high-end expensive brand, probably costs over 20,000 yuan. Looking at his other clothes, they don’t look cheap either.” The colleague introduced the value of Chu Yang’s clothes to Lu Shan

After hearing the colleague’s words, Lu Shan was completely shocked.

“Is… Chu Yang so rich?”

Lu Shan then became a little absent-minded at work. She kept thinking about what she was going to treat Chu Yang to for lunch. If she were to treat him to cheap food when he’s so rich, would he get angry?

…

As time slowly passed, Chu Yang finished a game of bridge. He realized that it was almost noon and thus he drove to the shop where Lu Shan worked.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Chu Yang saw Lu Shan standing in front of the shop in a floral dress, she was beautiful.

He then opened the car door, got out of the car, and stood in front of Lu Shan.

When Lu Shan initially saw a LaFerrari parked in front of her shop, she thought that it was just some rich second-generation kid. She did not expect Chu Yang to get down from it. She was visibly shocked.

Meanwhile, when Chu Yang saw the shocked expression on Lu Shan’s face, he felt a wave of pleasure in his heart. Is this the feeling of successfully showing off in front of a beauty? It felt amazing..
