The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 189: Bring 10 Jin of Lafite
Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Bring 10 Jin of Lafite
Tang Xin briefly introduced Jia Yuan to Ye Chenfeng and Han Chuxue.
"Jia Yuan, this is my cell phone number. Let’s plan to meet up next time!" said Tang Xin to Jia Yuan.
"Tang Xin, it’s not easy for us to meet, why don’t we all go have dinner together!" Jia Yuan suggested.
"Right. Since you are friends with Jia Yuan, you are also our friends. I’m paying for dinner tonight, so no turning it down!"
Out of the three men, the only one without a girlfriend, Jiang Shaoqi, spoke up. His gaze shifted back and forth between Tang Xin and Han Chuxue, completely ignoring Ye Chenfeng’s existence. In his mind, only he was worthy of beauties like Tang Xin and Han Chuxue! To him, Ye Chenfeng was just a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh.
"Tang Xin, since Jiang Shao has spoken, don’t hesitate anymore. Let’s catch up properly tonight," Jia Yuan said, clutching Tang Xin’s arm. Jiang Shaoqi was evidently the central figure in their little circle.
Faced with Jia Yuan’s repeated requests, Tang Xin truly felt embarrassed to refuse. After all, they used to be very good friends. When she was hesitating, Ye Chenfeng spoke up, "Xin’er, it’s rare for you to reunite with your friends. Let’s go have dinner."
"Tang Xin, look, your boyfriend has already said so, don’t hesitate anymore. I have so much to tell you after all these years!" Jia Yuan said.
"Okay, then, let’s go," Tang Xin agreed.
"Let’s go to Xiangya Hotel! The dishes there aren’t bad. Do any of you have a car?" Jiang Shaoqi interjected.
Ye Chenfeng shrugged nonchalantly and said, "We’ll take a taxi there."
Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng say they would take a taxi, a strong sense of disdain flashed in the eyes of the three men—Jiang Shaoqi, Shi Ye, and Ding Wei. Some pleasure surfaced on their faces as well. They were already jealous of Ye Chenfeng for having two stunning beauties by his side!
Now that they knew Ye Chenfeng was broke, they were confident they could steal Tang Xin and Han Chuxue away. In their eyes, there was nothing money couldn’t solve in this world. Didn’t modern women all love tall, rich, and handsome guys? They considered themselves to fit that mold perfectly.
Jia Yuan and Xia Jing originally had a good impression of Ye Chenfeng, as he was quite handsome. However, when they heard Ye Chenfeng mention taking a taxi, their eyes shifted away from him. They believed that in today’s society, what was the use of a man being handsome? Money was the most important.
"There’s just enough space for two more people in my car. How about the two beauties come with me?" Jiang Shaoqi said, completely overlooking Ye Chenfeng and wearing a very gentlemanly smile on his face.
"I’ll take a taxi with Brother Chenfeng," Tang Xin said, slightly furrowing her brows.
As for Han Chuxue, she outright ignored Jiang Shaoqi as if his words were a fart, not even giving him a glance from start to finish.
Seeing Tang Xin and Han Chuxue unhesitatingly follow Ye Chenfeng into the taxi, Jiang Shaoqi felt unbearably stifled and thought to himself, "There’s never been a woman Jiang Shaoqi has failed to get! Why does this poor kid get to have them both? Just wait until we get to the hotel. I’ll make you embarrassed, and then these two beauties will realize what kind of man is worth following."
"Jiang Shao, since this kid has no background, those two beauties are as good as ours. Let’s have a five-person play later!" Shi Ye said excitedly.
"Right, Jiang Shao, Shi Ye is right! These two women are top quality!" Ding Wei chimed in.
Jiang Shaoqi nodded and said, "Alright, once we get to Xiangya Hotel, I’ll let this kid realize the gap between us. He’ll be the one to take off on his own."
"What are you guys muttering about? Should we go?" Jia Yuan asked Jiang Shaoqi and the other two.
"What are we waiting for? Let’s get in the car!" Jiang Shaoqi said, swinging his arm in what he thought was a very dashing gesture.
In the taxi.
"Xin’er, I could tell those three men were no good from the start. You should advise your friend not to hang out with them," Han Chuxue said, clearly feeling the way Jiang Shaoqi and his friends looked at her.
"Jia Yuan wasn’t like this before. Maybe we shouldn’t go after all!" Tang Xin said.
"Xin’er, don’t overthink things! People always change. Besides, we’re not the ones paying for the dinner."
Ye Chenfeng casually threw out these words, once again earning a roll of the eyes from Han Chuxue.
Xiangya Hotel was located in a rather bustling area of Tianhai and was a mid-to-high-end establishment, not a place the working class could afford to patronize.
At the entrance of the Xiangya Hotel stood two uniformed greeters, both of average looks but with fiery figures that curved in all the right places, capable of effortlessly igniting the flame within a man.
As guests entered the hotel, the two voluptuous greeters respectfully greeted them with ’Welcome’, their voices sweet and soothing, instantly putting the customers, most of whom were men, in a much better mood.
These two greeters must have been specially trained.
Jiang Shaoqi had reserved a private room, and after everyone sat down, he didn’t rush to order food but instead looked at Ye Chenfeng and said, "Brother Ye, you’re really fortunate to be accompanied by two such beautiful ladies. May I ask where you’re currently employed?"
"I’m an unemployed vagrant," Ye Chenfeng replied nonchalantly.
Unemployed vagrant?
This revelation made Jiang Shaoqi, Shi Ye, and Ding Wei even more delighted, with Jiang Shaoqi’s tone becoming more arrogant, "Brother Ye, I suppose you don’t often come to such high-end hotels, do you? Today, just order whatever you’d like to eat, let yourself go. I’ll cover all expenses, consider it a chance for Brother Ye to see the world."
Jiang Shaoqi deliberately belittled Ye Chenfeng, believing that with his ability, he could ensure that Tang Xin and Han Chuxue would throw themselves at him by the end of the meal.
Jia Yuan walked over to Tang Xin, tugged at her sleeve, and said, "Tang Xin, could you come out with me for a moment?"
Tang Xin was already annoyed by Jiang Shaoqi’s tone! In her view, no one in this world had the right to mock her Brother Chenfeng. However, seeing that Ye Chenfeng remained calm and composed, she decided to temporarily swallow her anger. Standing up, she followed Jia Yuan out of the private room.
Once outside, Jia Yuan incessantly advised, "Tang Xin, I think you and that Ye Chenfeng are not suitable for each other at all. With your qualities, you can definitely find someone better. I can tell Jiang Shaoqi seems interested in you, do you want me to set you up? Jiang Shaoqi’s family is quite wealthy, they’re millionaires!"
Tang Xin knew that her once best friend had truly changed, changed to the point where Tang Xin could hardly recognize her. She decided that after tonight’s meal, she would no longer have any contact with Jia Yuan. The place Ye Chenfeng held in her heart could not be shaken by anyone.
And as for money, what’s so great about Jiang Shaoqi being a millionaire?
The villa where Tang Xin and the others lived probably was worth more than the entire assets of Jiang Shaoqi’s family! What’s the value of being a millionaire in today’s world?
"Jia Yuan, don’t say anything more! Otherwise, we won’t even be friends," Tang Xin said coldly as she turned and walked back into the private room, no longer paying any attention to Jia Yuan.
Jia Yuan didn’t expect Tang Xin to turn against her so abruptly and thought dejectedly, "Tang Xin, you’ll regret this one day. We women can only be worry-free for the rest of our lives if we follow rich men."
Back in the private room, after Jiang Shaoqi had ordered the dishes, he looked at Ye Chenfeng with disdain and asked, "Brother Ye, what wine would you like to drink?"
In Jiang Shaoqi’s opinion, a low-class person like Ye Chenfeng probably could only afford to drink brands like Budweiser and Tsingtao beer! Ordering such beer in a high-class place like Xiangya would be downright embarrassing.
Ye Chenfeng turned to the waiter standing by and said, "Then bring us ten jin of Lafite to start with! Remember, it must be from ’82, I don’t drink any other year."
Ten jin of Lafite? Do you think we’re selling pork here? Although the waiter also held Ye Chenfeng in contempt, he still patiently explained.
With some difficulty, the waiter said, "Sir, Lafite is sold by the bottle, not by the jin."
"Then just bring a case of ’82 Lafite to start. We’ll order more if it’s not enough," Ye Chenfeng said casually.
A case of ’82 Lafite?
One must know that a single bottle of ’82 Lafite costs thirty to forty thousand! A case would be several hundred thousand, wouldn’t it?
Jiang Shaoqi’s family was at most millionaires, and even he himself was reluctant to order ’82 Lafite! And now he was going to let Ye Chenfeng, this "poor kid," order it, and he was going to pay for it? Wasn’t this just making a fool of himself?
His complexion turned quite ugly as he cursed inwardly, "This poor kid, how does he even know about Lafite, and that ’82 is the most expensive?"
"Jiang Shaoqi, just let him order it. At most, he’ll drink a bottle by himself, which will be quite a feat. Don’t forget, your real goal today is to impress the two beauties. You can’t lose face now," whispered Shi Ye who was sitting next to Jiang Shaoqi.
Grinding his teeth and stamping his foot, Jiang Shaoqi ordered the waiter, "Do as he says, bring us a case of ’82 Lafite." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
