Pan Lianlian thought for a long time and couldn’t help but swear,
“Damn, my name is Pan Lianlian, not Pan Jinlian.”
But then she thought she might have missed out on a fortune.
This handsome young man was the owner of this Aston Martin, which meant he was a low-key, rich, and handsome guy, right?
Rich and good-looking, where could she find such a good man?
“Ah, handsome, come back, I don’t care what you call me as long as you’re happy.”
Pan Lianlian felt regret, she should have been proactive earlier, not in supporting him, but in letting him support her.
If she could become his girlfriend, or even a mistress, that would be enough.
“Handsome, I really don’t want to keep trying hard anymore.”
Pan Lianlian looked at Chu Chen in the distance, her eyes almost teary.
…
The task for today was over, and all Chu Chen had to do was deliver food for one more day, and Xilan International Hotel would be his.

Chu Chen had just gotten home when he suddenly received a call from an old friend.
“Old Zhou, you came to Jiangzhou?”
Chu Chen was delighted; his buddy had come to Jiangzhou, and they hadn’t seen each other in ages.
“Tell me where to go, we’re gonna party till we drop tonight.”
Knowing the location, Chu Chen left immediately on his bike, not even bothering to change his clothes.
Since they were going to drink at night, Chu Chen did not drive but rode a bicycle instead.
Twenty minutes later, Chu Chen arrived at the agreed-upon location, the Yueke Restaurant.
“Chu Chen.”
His buddy, Zhou Xingwen, waved from a distance when he saw Chu Chen.
He was standing in line at the Yueke Restaurant at that moment.
This restaurant was quite affordable, and the food was good, so it was always packed.
Because he arrived a bit late, Zhou Xingwen found himself at the end of the line.
Chu Chen walked over, and Zhou Xingwen gave Chu Chen a big bear hug.
“You’re still as handsome as ever, damn, standing next to you, the originally handsome me feels pressured.”
Zhou Xingwen hadn’t changed much, he was still the same as before.
“Of course, when it comes to drinking, you’re just a little brother.”
Having known each other since childhood, there wasn’t that much formality between them.
Zhou Xingwen said disdainfully.
“Just wait, I’m gonna drink you under the table today,” Chu Chen shot back, not to be outdone.
The two queued up, chatting back and forth.
A young couple lined up behind Chu Chen and Zhou Xingwen.
Looking at Chu Chen wearing a delivery uniform in front of them, the woman disdainfully took a step back, covering her nose as if Chu Chen had a strong odor.
After waiting outside for a while, the woman obviously grew impatient.
She didn’t want to stand behind a delivery guy and didn’t want to keep waiting.
The woman gave the man a look, and he understood.
“You two, go to the back of the line.”
The man stepped forward with a commanding tone.
Huh?
Hearing this, Chu Chen and Zhou Xingwen were stunned.
They were just standing there chatting, not doing anything, and suddenly a fellow customer was ordering them to line up at the back?
“Why? We were clearly here first!”
Zhou Xingwen retorted.
“You’re not the owner of this restaurant, are you?”
“Why? Because I’m a professional, a wealthy person, and you’re just lower-class folks.”
The man wore a smug expression.
“I knew people like you are unreasonable, here, I’ll give you a hundred bucks to stand at the back.”
“Don’t affect our appetite here.”
Talking, the man took out a hundred bucks from his wallet and handed it to Chu Chen and Zhou Xingwen condescendingly.
Seeing Chu Chen and Zhou Xingwen not taking it.
The man pulled out another hundred bucks.
“I’m telling you, two hundred is my limit, don’t push it.”
“We refuse.”
Zhou Xingwen replied coldly and ignored the man.
Hearing this, the man’s face showed helplessness.
“If you’re unwilling, I’ll show you what it means when money is everything.”
Now, there were four groups in line here.
Chu Chen and his friend were third, and the man at the end of the line stepped forward and approached the first group at the front.
“I’ll give you a hundred bucks, let us cut in front of you.”
“And you guys, here’s another hundred.”
To prevent the second group from getting upset, the man also gave them a hundred bucks.
“So generous?”
“Sure, why not?”
Hearing they could get a hundred bucks for nothing, both groups nodded.
Taking the money, they let the young couple move to the front.
Now, Chu Chen and his friend were last.
By moving back one spot, Chu Chen and his friend had to wait another ten or twenty minutes.
“Kid, did you see that?”
“That’s what it means when money is everything, the same two hundred bucks to you only put us in third, now we’re first.”
“You penniless bums.”
The man said arrogantly.
“You two just wait behind us, we’ll go in first.”
The woman also snorted coldly at Chu Chen, moving to the front.
Seeing this, Zhou Xingwen was furious.
Chu Chen patted Zhou Xingwen on the shoulder and calmly spoke,
“Things that can be solved with money are just small matters.”
“You’re right, money is everything.”
Chu Chen called out the owner of the restaurant.
“I’ve booked the entire place for today, except for us, you don’t need to serve any other customers afterward.”
Huh?
Everyone was stunned.
What?
Book the whole place?
Is there even such a move?
At this moment, everyone looked at Chu Chen with awe.
Truly, money speaks!
“Okay.”
The owner nodded excitedly, agreeing immediately.
It was the first time he’d encountered such a wealthy patron wanting to book the entire place.
Booking the place like this, he’d make a sure profit.
Besides, the gentleman made it clear he didn’t need to kick out the other customers in the restaurant, just not serve anyone new afterward.
That was much easier.
“I’m sorry, folks, this gentleman has booked the place. Today, except for this gentleman, we won’t be serving anyone else.”
The owner turned around and told the three groups.
The three groups were dumbfounded, especially the young couple.
What the heck!
“Can they even do that?”
“We waited for nothing.”
Those two groups complained a bit and left, after all, they got a hundred bucks for nothing; they could just switch restaurants.
Only the young couple stood there dumbfounded.
How could this happen?
Now, not only had they waited for nothing, but also wasted two hundred bucks?
They took a big loss!
At this time, a few customers left, freeing up seats.
“This way, sir.” The owner politely invited Chu Chen in.
Chu Chen spoke,
“You were right earlier.”
“Money indeed is everything, it’s just a pity that you guys are the ones without it.”
“Penniless bums.”
Zhou Xingwen chimed in, echoing back the man’s words with satisfaction.
“Honey, you book the place too, pay more than they did.”
Spoiled from being pampered, the woman retorted to Zhou Xingwen and Chu Chen.
“Hmph, you guys are the penniless ones, my husband is the richest.”
Hearing this, the owner’s eyes lit up and looked at the man.
“More money, my ass, do you even know how much it costs to book the place?”
“Dumb woman!”
