Chapter 228: Only by having money can you save money

At the entrance of the dark-toned Ambré Ciel restaurant, Chen He kept looking around, feeling a little impatient.

It's been several minutes since the appointed time, why hasn't Zhou Wang arrived yet?

Behind him, Ji Xiaoxi, who was wearing a white shirt and JK skirt, with skin that could be broken by a blow, as delicate as a porcelain doll, and which attracted the attention of passers-by from time to time, also lowered her head slightly at this time, with complicated emotions.

Is Chen He crazy?

How could he ask Zhou Wang to come to dinner together...

When she heard Chen He say this in the car, Ji Xiaoxi wondered if she heard it wrong.

Her first reaction was to refuse, but she didn't know what to say.

After all, from Chen He's perspective, he didn't know what happened between him and Zhou Wang.

Regarding Zhou Wang, Ji Xiaoxi was a little shaken at first. It wasn't until her good sister Hua Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui terminated her contract with the company and shared her thoughts that Ji Xiaoxi realized that there was no way she and Zhou Wang could be together.

How can a girl who still yearns for beautiful love and happy marriage accept that her boyfriend has another woman?

After recognizing Zhou Wang's "scumbag" nature, Ji Xiaoxi has been adjusting her mood in recent days, and even prayed several times with her father to purify her soul.

She hadn't paid much attention to Chen He in the past few days. It was rare that she was in a better mood today, so she wanted to come to the company and meet her boyfriend Chen He to make up for the neglect of the past few days.

Who knew such an accident would happen...

Why didn't Zhou Wang refuse?

Does he still want to...

Ji Xiaoxi's breathing became a little faster, and her fingers unconsciously grasped the hem of her skirt. After a few days of prayer, the scene that she thought had faded suddenly resurfaced crazily at this moment.

"Put off all filthiness and excess of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls..."

Ji Xiaoxi silently recited the Chapters in the scriptures and gradually calmed down again.

It's just a meal, it's nothing, and I was drunk last time. If I didn't drink, nothing would have happened...

Thinking like this, Ji Xiaoxi gradually settled down.

"Mr. Zhou, this way!"

At this time, Chen He's eager greeting sounded in her ears. Ji Xiaoxi subconsciously raised her head and saw Zhou Wang walking towards this side at a leisurely pace.

In the summer evening breeze, the boy wearing simple casual clothes has a slightly lazy posture, but it does not give people any frivolous feeling. On the contrary, he is more like a male lion strolling in his own territory. That invisible aura is like a comic book protagonist with his own special effects.

Ji Xiaoxi is actually very strange. Comparing the two of them, Chen He, who was a model, would definitely outshine Zhou Wang in terms of looks and height, but when the two of them compared each other, Chen He was eclipsed.

Ji Xiaoxi believes that more than 90% of girls will only choose Zhou Wang when facing two people...

Or perhaps, Chen He's somewhat humble appearance at this time destroyed his supposedly aloof temperament, making the contrast more obvious.

Ji Xiaoxi wanted to remind Chen He that there was no need for him to do this to Zhou Wang, but she couldn't say it.

After all, in Ji Xiaoxi's understanding, Chen He was so polite to Zhou Wang solely because Zhou Wang was a shareholder of Wuyou Media. He was thinking about himself...

In Ji Xiaoxi's random thoughts, Zhou Wang was already approaching.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"Where is it? We just arrived... Xiaoxi?"

After Chen He finished speaking with a smile, he noticed that Ji Xiaoxi had no reaction, so he called out in confusion.

"Mr. Zhou, please take care of me."

Ji Xiaoxi came back to her senses, forced a smile, and said hello to Zhou Wang.

Okay, I have become Mr. Zhou again...

Zhou Wang didn't care, nodded to her, then smiled at Chen He and said, "Then let's go in?"

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, please come this way!"

Chen He quickly led the way enthusiastically and walked into the restaurant, where a waiter already greeted him.

"Welcome to Restaurant Po. Do you have a reservation?"

"some..."

After verification, the waiter pressed the pillar next to him and opened the door for the three of them. Then another waiter came over and introduced the three of them inside.

This restaurant is really different from a traditional Western restaurant. There is a very technological moon projection on the porch, and there may be some elements of the metaverse. Zhou Wang doesn't know much about it.

After passing through the porch hung with various honors and entering the hall, Zhou Wang's first feeling was... this restaurant is too dark.

It's just visually pitch black... The dark tones are used to the extreme. Only the table tops of each dining table are illuminated by the chandeliers above. It's difficult to even see people clearly in other places.

"This design is to allow customers to have a stronger sense of privacy when dining..."

The waiter who led the way explained seriously.

"This bottle of wine must be very expensive. Is it placed here specially?"

When he came to a place where a bottle of XO wine was placed on a special booth, Chen He asked curiously and seemed to want to reach out and touch it.

"This 6-liter bottle of XO is a master's collection edition created by the famous architectural design master Frank Gehry at the invitation of Hennessy and co-branded with Baccarat crystal. It is priced at 1.8 million yuan..."

During the waiter's smiling introduction, Chen He withdrew his hand like an electric shock, quite disbelieving.

"This wine costs 1.8 million?"

"Yes, limited to 30 bottles worldwide."

The waiter was not surprised by Chen He's reaction, he just smiled and nodded.

Ji Xiaoxi was also a little stunned. Everyone had heard of hundreds of thousands of drinks, but millions of drinks, let alone seeing it with their own eyes, normal people had no way to hear.

Zhou Wang didn't care too much, he just looked at it a few more times out of curiosity. The reason why he didn't care was that he had no interest in foreign wine, and the other was, what happened to 1.8 million?

It's not like he can't afford to drink now...

After Chen He was stunned, he took out his mobile phone and took a few photos, and then they continued forward under the guidance of the waiter.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm not worried about this..."

Chen He sneered, but couldn't say anything to refuse.

The waiter came back quickly, and with him was the manager of the restaurant.

"What's your surname, sir?"

As soon as the manager came up, he smiled, shook hands with Zhou Wang, and looked at Zhou Wang carefully.

"Excuse me, my surname is Zhou."

"Mr. Zhou, I already know your needs. What do you think...you can change to a private room, but you don't need to order additional meals. You only need to add 10% to the original 10% service fee." % service fee is enough, do you agree?"

The manager said with a smile.

"oh?"

Zhou Wang was a little surprised. Except for Ji Xiaoxi who was still a little dissociated, Chen He was also stunned.

Is this still possible?

Compared with the cost of meals for five other people, the service charge of only 10% is undoubtedly much more cost-effective.

Chen He still doesn't understand. Is this manager out of his mind? He doesn't earn at least tens of thousands of yuan, but he is giving out free warmth here?

If I had known, he would have rushed to say "I'd better pay for it myself" just now...

It wasn't until the three of them were led to the private room by the manager, who personally presented a pipe-shaped ashtray, that he asked Zhou Wang with a smile:

"Mr. Zhou, I would like to ask, is the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked in the square before your car?"

"It's my car..."

Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment and then nodded.

"No wonder you look familiar to me, Mr. Zhou. I happened to go out just now and saw you getting off the car..."

The manager laughed, shook hands with Zhou Wang again, took out a business card and handed it to Zhou Wang with both hands:

"My surname is Shan, and this is my business card. Mr. Zhou, if you want to come for dinner in the future, just call me directly. I will try my best to coordinate for you during peak periods..."

"Sorry, I don't have my business card with me."

Zhou Wang touched his pocket and responded apologetically.

... He didn't have a business card at all, but the restaurant manager's move reminded him that it was time to prepare a decent business card for himself. With the social habits of Chinese people, "scanning with WeChat" cannot replace all occasions. of communication.

"I understand, Mr. Zhou, I won't disturb you anymore. The dishes will be on the table soon, please wait a moment."

Manager Shan smiled warmly again, then turned and left the private room.

After Chen He hesitated for a moment, he realized that what he just thought was a clown...

He thought he was doing charity work because Zhou Wang was riding a Rolls-Royce.

It comes down to money.

Rich people save money because they have money?

In fact, this was not the first time he had seen such a thing, but Chen He still found it ridiculous.

Ji Xiaoxi's mood finally had some fluctuations.

She knew Zhou Wang's car was a Rolls-Royce earlier than anyone else around her. When she got in the car that day, she just thought the interior of the car was very luxurious, but the old BMW at home was also good, so there was no need to pursue it. Better.

But at this moment, she had a clearer understanding of what that car meant...

Zhou Wang didn't know how complicated the mood between the two was. He just lit a cigarette for himself and leaned back leisurely.

It's not bad to save a lot of money for nothing, but Zhou Wang's original plan was to have Miao Ying send the extra food to the construction site or hospital, or even to a nursing home, if he really needed to order more food, to give it to those in need. , just don't waste it.

This is his simple concept.

But this is fine now, no need to worry about it anymore.

After changing private rooms, time finally passed, and the system prompts came as expected.

bite!

[It is detected that the host has arrived at the designated location, and the hidden round has been started]

[The host obtains a temporary prop: Ahri's conch (seal)]

...

Yo, there are temporary props again?

Zhou Wang was not too surprised. After all, he was given temporary props during the "Prologue" to help him complete the round better.

That time it was [Jie's Windbreaker] that helped him infinitely reduce his sense of presence, almost making him invisible. I wonder what the function of this conch is?

Zhou Wang moved his mind to the flashing black and white prop in the warehouse interface, and the corresponding message popped up:

[Ari's Conch (Seal): When the host carries this conch, he will be able to hear the voices of others in strong emotional states]

[We are in tune with each other, aren't we?]

[This prop has been sealed and can only be used during the round]

...

Listen to your heart?

Zhou Wang raised his eyebrows. He rarely studies, but isn't this a plot from a movie he once watched...

Although now, this meme has been written badly by many online novels.

Zhou Wang suddenly remembered something and opened the system's mysterious store. After a while, he found the unsealed [Ari's Conch] in the store.

The price of this item is about 20 million reputation points...

Well, I don't know if I can count on it in this life.

Zhou Wang shook his head and turned his mind back to reality, intending to experiment with the use of this prop.
