“Ning City Grand Hotel! The presidential suite? Xiao Fei, you’re still the same. You’re still so funny. Hurry up. I’m not in the mood to joke with you now. Do you still remember the bar in the back street of our school? Let’s go there.”

“Alright, I should be able to find that place.” Ye Xiaofei immediately agreed.

Rushing out of the door, Ye Xiaofei almost bumped into Luna.

“Mr. Ye, you…” Luna asked.

Ye Xiaofei said, “I’m going out for a while. I’m not sure when I’ll be back. Oh right… Come downstairs with me to get a key card, in case I can’t come in when I come back.”

“Alright.”

The two of them came to the hotel’s front desk to get their room cards.

The young lady at the front desk immediately handled it respectfully. Her attitude was very good.

Ye Xiaofei kept staring at the little girl, making her blush, but she was also very excited.

This was someone who lived in the presidential suite, and he was still so young. If he took a fancy to her, she would really rise in status.

After it was finally done, Ye Xiaofei took the room card and said to the little girl with a smile, “Can I have the number of the presidential suite?”

Without waiting for the little girl to reply, Ye Xiaofei waved his hand and rushed out of the hotel like the wind.

“Ah?” The young lady was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned pale. She finally recognized that this man was the one who called for the presidential suite.

Then would she not have offended the guest? Oh my god, not only would she not be able to climb the ranks, but she would also be fired since she offended the distinguished guest of the presidential suite.

“What’s wrong?” Luna looked at the young lady at the front desk in confusion.

“Miss Luna, I…I… I offended that gentleman just now.” The little girl was about to cry and could not speak.

“Oh? Tell me about it.” Luna was rather curious.

The little girl stammered, “This afternoon, this gentleman called to ask for the number of the presidential suite. Our hotel occasionally encounters people like this. They all want to harass the guests of the presidential suite, so I didn’t give it to him.”

“It’s nothing. You don’t have to worry.” Luna immediately guessed that Ye Xiaofei was looking for her at that time. He probably wanted to prove himself to Fang Yunshu, but he gave up in the end. She did not know what happened between Ye Xiaofei and Fang Yunshu.

Ye Xiaofei hailed a taxi and came to the bar behind the school. When he was about to pay, he encountered an embarrassing thing.

He did not have any cash on him, and although he had a phone, he did not have a SIM card. His phone did not have internet, let alone a bank card. He could not even pay for a taxi.

“Uncle, can I pay by card?” Ye Xiaofei took out the bank card that Luna had given him.

The driver rolled his eyes. “Are you kidding me? Have you ever seen a taxi with a poss machine?”

“Right…” Ye Xiaofei smiled embarrassedly.

“Young man, are you broke?” The driver looked at Ye Xiaofei’s embarrassed expression and his face darkened. “It’s not easy to drive a taxi for a living. You can’t deny my money, can you?”

Ye Xiaofei hurriedly said. “Of course not. I’m going to find a friend to pay now.”

The driver said immediately, “Then hurry up and call him to come out and pay.”

“My phone doesn’t have a SIM card. Big Brother, wait for me. I’ll give you more money.”

The driver immediately said, “No! Then tell me your friend’s phone number. I’ll call him to send the money.”

“His phone number… I haven’t asked for it yet.” Ye Xiaofei’s face darkened again.

As the two of them were negotiating, a car behind them became impatient. After honking a few times, a young man got out of the car and said aggressively, “Hey, what are you guys doing? Hurry up and leave!”

“He wants to cheat on the fare.” The driver immediately explained.

“Cheat on the fare?” The man looked at Ye Xiaofei, glared at him, and scolded, “You even want to cheat the taxi fare. Are you still human?”

Ye Xiaofei also explained, “I’m not trying to not pay. I just don’t have any cash on me.”

The two of them looked at each other and were stunned for a moment. Then, they observed each other.

“Ye Xiaofei!”

“Song Mingdong!”

Song Mingdong was also Ye Xiaofei’s high school classmate. However, their relationship was not good during high school. It could even be said that they had a grudge.

Song Mingdong’s family was quite rich and his personality was quite flamboyant. The main conflict between the two was because Ye Xiaofei had a crush on a girl called Su Xiaoyu. He could not help but go to Su Xiaoyu’s side from time to time.

Then, Song Mingdong was also interested in Su Xiaoyu. He saw through Ye Xiaofei’s thoughts and got someone to beat him up.

Song Mingdong suddenly laughed and said happily, “Hah, Ye Xiaofei, I haven’t seen you for so many years. You can’t even afford to pay for a taxi.”

Seeing Ye Xiaofei so embarrassed, this guy was actually so happy.

Ye Xiaofei narrowed his eyes and said, “Are you happy?”

Song Mingdong grinned and laughed. “Yeah, I didn’t expect you to be doing well, but I didn’t expect you to be so miserable. You’ve really given me a pleasant surprise.”

The driver said, “Since you know each other, please pay the fare.”

“Pay for him?” Song Mingdong curled his lips and shook his head. “Hah, that won’t do. I’m not close to him. He’s a scammer, so you can make a deal with him. Oh right, I’ll help you keep an eye on him. You can’t let him escape.”

He was clearly waiting to see Ye Xiaofei make a fool of himself.

Ye Xiaofei also smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t try to escape.”

Song Mingdong smiled and said, “Sir, don’t listen to him. I know him the best. He’s not good at anything else, but he’s the best at escaping and not paying his debts.”

The driver’s face darkened even more as he stared at Ye Xiaofei as if he was afraid that Ye Xiaofei would run away.

A fatty rushed over and saw Ye Xiaofei in the car. He immediately shouted excitedly, “Xiaofei!”

When Ye Xiaofei saw Wang Dabao, he smiled and said, “Fatty, come and pay for my cab.”

“Ah?” Wang Dabao was stunned for a moment and immediately took out his phone to scan the code.

Song Mingdong stopped him and said, “I say, Wang Dabao, why are you still paying attention to a person who even asked you to pay for a taxi?”

Only then did Wang Dabao see Song Mingdong. The smile on his face instantly froze. Then, he glared and said, “What does it have to do with you whether I pay attention to him or not?”

Song Mingdong’s smile froze. He snorted and said, “I’m just reminding you out of kindness. Don’t let him trick you later.”

Wang Dabao straightened his neck and shook his huge head. “So what?”
