“Everyone, let’s continue the party. Don’t let these small matters get in the way of us having a good time,” Li Wei’s lackey immediately said to the rest of the people after hearing Li Wei’s words.

“Yes, yes. Let’s not stop ourselves from having a good time just because of some small matters.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Didn’t Chu Yang just order a few expensive dishes? He’s not even as generous as Young Master Li.”

The rest of the people chimed in one after another, trying to use their words to dissolve the awkward situation that Chu Yang brought.

After all, Chu Yang had left. The only ones who could pay the bill were the remaining silver-spooned kids. If they didn’t lighten the mood, how could they eat in the Clearwater Manor for free? Thus, they were acting just like a bunch of monkeys.

…

On the other side, the manager of the Clearwater Manor brought Chu Yang and the others to the private room.

“Chu Yang, you haven’t told us how you got the Supreme card,” Xu Qian had just sat down in the private room when he asked Chu Yang his question.

“Well, some time back I kept coming to the Clearwater Manor for meals, and I met an old man while I was here. That day, the two of us were betting on one of the dishes, and in the end, he lost the bet and gave me this card.” Faced with Xu Qian’s question, Chu Yang briefly explained the process of how he got the card.

“Damn, what old man will have the Clearwater Manor’s Supreme card?” After hearing Chu Yang’s words, the first instinct that flashed through Xu Qian’s mind was disbelief. What kind of divine luck was this, to meet an old man and get the Clearwater Manor’s Supreme card?

To tell the truth, Chu Yang was not lying to Xu Qian though he had summarized quite some details.

On the third night when Chu Yang had brought his cousin Chu Xue to the Clearwater Manor for dinner, Chu Yang had said to Chu Xue that one of the dishes was a little overcooked.

The two of them were only saying such things in a low voice. They did not expect that an old man happened to pass by their dining table and overheard their conversation.

When he heard this, the old man immediately turned to Chu Yang, questioning him what evidence did he have to say that the dish was overcooked. However, even Chu Yang himself couldn’t explain his instinct. Since a young age, his taste buds had always been much more sensitive than his peers. Faced with the question, he could only say that he could tell from tasting the dish.

The old man naturally didn’t believe Chu Yang. So he picked up a pair of chopsticks and took a bite of the dish in front of Chu Yang. He couldn’t taste that it was overcooked Therefore, the old man immediately began to lecture Chu Yang, thinking that he was just deliberately trying to say something pretentious in front of girls.

Normally, any other person would just let the old man have his way in such a situation, but Chu Yang was a stubborn person. Moreover, he was very confident in his sense of taste, so he said to the old man, “How about we make a bet? I bet this dish is overcooked. If I lose, I will apologize to you immediately. But if you lose, you must apologize to me.”

The old man naturally agreed. He had full confidence in the chef of the Clearwater Manor. He also believed that he could have told if the dish was overcooked since he was a loyal customer. So he immediately called He Qing, the head chef of the Clearwater Manor over.

After He Qing came over, he took a bite of the dish in front of Chu Ming, and immediately stated that the dish was indeed a little overcooked.

It turned out that this dish was prepared by one of He Qing’s disciples, so it was not at its usual standards. However, it would not have been easily detected by an average person. And Chu Yang was obviously not an average person.

After that old man saw the result, he was aware that he had indeed lost the bet. However, he did not apologize to Chu Yang.

“I, Hong Lie, have never apologized to anyone in my entire life. I’ll give you this card as compensation for not apologizing,” The old man said these arrogant words to Chu Yang, gave the VIP card to him, and turned around to leave.

Seeing that the old man had left, Chu Yang did not argue with him anymore. After all, he was raised with the values of respecting the elderly.

After He Qing saw that the old man had given this card to Chu Yang, he shook his head and sighed, “Elder Hong’s temper is still stubborn as ever.”

Seeing that He Qing seemed to know that old man, Chu Yang asked He Qing about the use of the card. After He Qing’s explanation, Chu Yang finally learned that this card was the Clearwater Manor’s Supreme card. 

All this contributed to the scene just now.

Although the five dishes that he ordered were expensive, only those who had the Supreme card could order them. The Clearwater Manor would just ignore anyone else who ordered the dishes without the card. This was also the knowledge that He Qing had provided after seeing that Chu Yang was now in possession of a Supreme card.

…

However, Chu Yang didn’t plan to tell Xu Qian and the others about the whole story in detail. After all, this concerned the privacy of that old man!

“Alright, hurry up and eat. Why do you have so many questions every day? It’s already good enough to get to eat,” Qin Feng immediately said to Fatty when he saw that Xu Qian was tempted to continue asking.

After hearing Chu Yang’s description, Qin Feng had a vague idea about who the old man was. After all, there was only one person who would give Chu Yang the Supreme card of the Clearwater Manor in such a dramatic way.

However, Qin Feng didn’t intend to say it out loud. If that old man found out that they knew about his embarrassing incident, God knows what would await them when they got back.

“Come and try the Flying Dragon Soup.” Not long after they entered the private room, a bowl of soup was served, so Chu Yang called everyone to start tasting it.

“Wow, this soup smells so good.” After the waiter opened the lid, the fragrance wafted through the air.

“It does smell good. Come and have a taste,” Chu Yang served everyone with a bowl of soup each.

After taking the first sip, the private room was silent. Everyone was immersed in the delicious soup.

“This soup is too delicious.” After Chu Yang finished the bowl of soup in his hand, he immediately said with surprise.

“Yes, it is indeed delicious,” Lu Shan echoed from the side.

Xu Qian and Qin Feng remained silent. Although they were also immersed in the delicious soup, they didn’t look very surprised. It was obviously not their first time tasting the soup.

The next few dishes were approved by everyone, the taste was very much to their liking.

After having all the dishes. Chu Yang and the others exited the private room. Xu Qian drove his Maserati and they went back to school together.

The three of them first sent Lu Shan back to the girls’ dormitory, then parked the car and walked back to their dormitory.

“Although I didn’t get any girls today, it’s already pretty good to be able to eat such delicious food. I still have to thank Chu Yang for treating me,” Xu Qian said on the way back to the dormitory.

“What’s there to thank for a meal? This is what a father should do,” Chu Yang replied when he heard Fatty’s teasing tone.

Although today’s meal cost more than 10 million yuan, Chu Yang did not feel any heartache. To Chu Yang, the friendship between him, Xu Qian, and Qin Feng was worth far more than 10 million yuan.

“Hahahahahaha,” Qin Feng laughed loudly after hearing Chu Yang’s words.

“Haha, then thank you for your hospitality, Daddy,” Xu Qian also replied after hearing Chu Yang’s words.

The three of them joked around on their way back to their own dormitory.

“We are going to leave this dormitory soon, it’s going to be so nostalgic,” Xu Qian said to the two of them after sitting on his bed and looking at the dormitory.

“We have lived here for four years, after all,” Qin Feng echoed from the side.

“I was wondering why you two suddenly became melancholy. It’s not like we won’t see each other anymore,” Hearing their sad tone made Chu Yang feel a little sad as well. So he teased the two of them.

“It’s different. Aren’t we graduating soon? We have to slowly take over our family’s businesses. I’m afraid that we won’t have much time to get together and play,” Hearing Chu Yang’s words, Xu Qian said to him with some melancholy.

“I’ve been hearing the two of you talking about taking over your family’s business every day, but I haven’t seen how famous you guys are. By the way, what exactly does your family do?” After hearing Xu Qian’s words, Chu Yang became a little interested in their families and asked Xu Qian with some curiosity.

“Have you heard of the Xu Corporation?” Hearing Chu Yang’s question, Xu Qian said to him coolly.

“Fatty, you’re not talking about the Xu Corporation in Jade City, right? The one that is one of the world’s top 100 corporations?” Chu Yang asked in surprise..
