After entering the bar, Ouyang Jie ordered a pile of drinks but didn't plan on accompanying Song Yun and the others.
"You guys have fun, I'm going to chat with some friends."
Ouyang Jie said, picking up a bottle of brandy and walking toward a booth not far away.
On the other side, the young man who had mocked Song Yun at the entrance was hugging a group of beauties, yet his eyes kept wandering over to Song Yun's side.
Just as he was pondering how to snatch Ye Qingqing from Song Yun's side, someone slapped him on the back of his head.
"Damn it, who?!"
The young man whirled around aggressively, only to extinguish all his anger upon recognizing a man of similar age.
"He Zuo... it's you..."
"You've got some nerve, Pharmacist Ma, coming to play at the bar without giving me a call. Are you having a good time with your arms around these ladies?"
He Zuo teased the frustrated Pharmacist Ma.
The other women at the table became somewhat intimidated after seeing He Zuo, carefully shifting away from Ma's side.
"No, no, I won't be able to stay long today, I have to go home..."
Pharmacist Ma said with a sycophantic tone.
Regarding He Zuo, he didn't dare show the slightest displeasure. Who didn't know that in Forty-nine City, the He Family was among the top five conglomerates, their company massively wealthy beyond description.
He was just an average rich second-generation, facing someone of higher status and wealthier than himself, he had no choice but to serve up smiles.
"I saw you staring at something just now. Is there a woman who's caught your eye?"
"No, no, I was just daydreaming about something..."
Pharmacist Ma didn't dare let He Zuo set his eyes on Ye Qingqing, for any woman in Forty-nine City caught by He Zuo never fared well. After he was done with them, no man dared to follow suit, not because He Zuo was domineering and wouldn't allow it, but He Zuo had some unknown quirks, and those women all...
"Pharmacist Ma has learned to lie in front of me now?"
He Zuo sat beside Pharmacist Ma with a smile, wrapping an arm around his shoulder and pouring a bottle of alcohol over Ma's head from the table.
"If you want to try out the taste of ruin and despair, continue lying to me. I'm quite gullible, after all. Want to give it a shot?"
Pharmacist Ma was so frightened he shivered, his face turning pale as he spilled everything that had happened.
The bartender finished speaking and pointed at He Zuo, who was looking over from a distance.
He sighed inwardly as he looked at Song Yun. "You're out of luck, kid, He Zuo has taken a liking to your girlfriend. Who doesn't know what kind of person He Zuo is? It seems impossible for your girlfriend to leave here untouched!"
"Take it back. We don't need it."
"What???"
The bartender, in disbelief, cleared his ears. "Have you not heard of the He Family's Young Master in Forty-nine City? How dare you refuse him face in front of everyone!"
"What 'what'? I said we don't need it. Don't you understand?"
The air around Song Yun suddenly intensified, causing the bartender to retreat several steps. It seemed that this guy was no pushover, and as the lowest level employee, he felt quite uncomfortable being stuck in the middle.
"Are you really not considering it? After all..."
"Don't make me say it a third time!"
"Okay... okay..."
The bartender returned to He Zuo with the other staff, still holding the drinks.
"Sorry, Young Master He... the other party refused..."
He Zuo narrowed his eyes as the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a smile. He stood up and walked towards Song Yun. "Brother, being so overbearing in Forty-nine City isn't good, is it?"
He Zuo didn't take Song Yun seriously. In Forty-nine City, those he couldn't afford to provoke were few and deeply etched in his mind. Yet here was Song Yun, a stranger, acting so arrogantly. Did he want to accept a brutal lesson from society?
"Who are you to dictate what I do?"
"Heh..."
Hearing this, He Zuo laughed. Any greenhorn facing this situation would surely feel greatly inferior and anxious, making themselves seem tougher. The angrier and more aloof Song Yun appeared, the more He Zuo was convinced the guy was incompetent.
"All these drinks add up to a total of 660,000. Even if your machismo wants to reject them all, would the two beauties by your side agree?"
After speaking, He Zuo bowed to Ye Qingqing and Chi Lu in his most gentlemanly manner.
What he didn't know was that his posture and pretense were utterly disgusting in Ye Qingqing's eyes.
"Kid, if I can spend 660,000 on drinks, I can spend even more money on worse things. Let me give you a piece of advice, quit while you're ahead. In Forty-nine City, no woman I fancy has ever been able to leave my grasp, of course, I won't let you lose out either. Here's a check for a million, scram now, how about that?"
