"I want to see if he's a real tycoon or just pretending."
Yun Zhirou's eyes lit up.
"That's a feasible idea."
The three girls made up their minds.
...
Arriving at Qianda Plaza,
they walked into the first floor together.
"Xinxin, let's see what we'll eat today."
Ye Qing asked for Zheng Xinxin's opinion.
After all, this was considered them treating her roommates to a meal together.
Zheng Xinxin began to hesitate.
"I heard a new Hunan restaurant opened recently, and the food is pretty good."
"How about..."
Before she could finish, Cheng Yinuo interrupted.
"Xinxin, I heard you ate at [Shuanyuan] last time?"
Zheng Xinxin was taken aback.
Her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
That place was very expensive to eat at.
Moreover, it was also where Ye Qing first treated her to a lavish meal,
which she found extremely precious and full of memories.
Instinctively, she didn't want to take her roommates there to eat.
But the other party had already been so blunt.
Although Zheng Xinxin's expression was troubled,
she eventually looked up,
casting an inquiring glance at Ye Qing.
She felt conflicted. If Ye Qing went there to eat with her,
she thought that was fine,
but treating these roommates felt like a bit of a waste.
Ye Qing shrugged nonchalantly and said,
"No problem, let's go eat there."
Everyone was surprised that Ye Qing agreed so readily.
Yun Zhirou couldn't help but glance at Ye Qing.
"Could this guy really be wealthy?"
Yun Zhirou also noticed Ye Qing's subtle gaze,
which occasionally swept across her face.
There was a hint of appreciation and aggression in that look.
It made her frown involuntarily.
Someone like Ye Qing wasn't on her level,
she felt that even being looked at by Ye Qing was an insult to her.
Yet Ye Qing had agreed so readily,
which gave Yun Zhirou a slight sense of astonishment.
"I want to see how much money this person is willing to spend on us."
Zheng Xinxin glared fiercely at Cheng Yinuo.
She led the group to the fourth-floor [Shuanyuan].
As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they were awed by the grand decor.
It was like arriving at the entrance of a miniature Forbidden City.
Especially the servers dressed in palace maid attire at the entrance.
It made everyone feel immersed in the scene.
Not only were the ingredients here the finest,
but the service was also top-tier,
allowing guests to feel like emperors and empresses.
Everyone felt as if they were the masters of the imperial palace.
"Welcome."
A server dressed in palace maid attire approached.
"Sir, how many in your party?"
"Five."
"Would you like a private room, sir?"
"What's the difference?"
Last time Ye Qing came, he hadn't heard about private rooms.
Because there were only two of them last time,
the server hadn't recommended it at all.
"Our private rooms offer better privacy."
"And there's a dedicated VIP server to attend to you."
Ye Qing nodded.
"How much does that cost?"
Zheng Xinxin quickly asked.
"The fee for our private room is 1,888 yuan."
Everyone gasped in shock.
They hadn't even eaten yet, and they were about to spend so much money.
Truly worthy of being the most expensive hot pot.
Cheng Yinuo spoke up at this moment.
"Maybe we should forget about it."
Zheng Xinxin's expression turned even uglier.
Now they were caught in a dilemma.
Ye Qing, however, didn't mind; he felt that spending more money,
would earn him more rebates.
"Are there any better private rooms?"
"Sir, we also have rooms priced at 2,888 yuan, 3,888 yuan, ..."
Ye Qing quickly raised his hand to stop her.
"Stop..."
"Just arrange the most expensive private room for me."
The server's eyes lit up.
"No problem, sir,
I'll arrange our Supreme Private Room for you, priced at 8,888 yuan."
The women all gasped in astonishment once again.
The group soon followed the server's lead,
arriving at the entrance of a private room.
Upon pushing the door open, they discovered there was actually a small courtyard inside.
A table was placed in the middle of the courtyard.
There was also a small fish pond.
The pond surprisingly contained many very valuable fish species.
It was like a small Suzhou garden.
Artificial hills, exotic rocks, a pond, winding corridors, and greenery.
It gave one the feeling of being amidst the misty rain of the Jiangnan region.
The atmosphere was perfectly set.
The area here wasn't very large.
But within such a small space,
so many landscapes had been created, and they were arranged in a well-proportioned manner.
It was truly breathtaking.
Just then, the server pressed a switch on the wall.
Instantly, a crack opened in the roof.
The somewhat dim room immediately brightened up.
Only then did everyone realize they were actually on the rooftop of Qianda Plaza.
After the rooftop opened, they instantly saw the blue sky and white clouds.
Combined with the garden that resembled a Suzhou garden.
It had atmosphere, so much atmosphere.
No one had imagined there could be such unique scenery here.
Ye Qing felt the money was well spent.
After everyone sat down, Ye Qing prepared to start ordering by scanning the QR code.
As soon as Ye Qing finished scanning, Cheng Yinuo immediately walked over.
"Let me help you order."
After saying that, she unceremoniously snatched the phone from Ye Qing's hand.
She went over to Yun Zhirou and another girl.
The three of them started ordering.
They had already reached a consensus,
wanting to see if Ye Qing was truly wealthy.
So they specifically looked for the most expensive ingredients to order.
Zheng Xinxin was somewhat displeased.
But with Ye Qing by her side, she felt too embarrassed to lose her temper.
Ye Qing didn't mind at all.
Twenty minutes later, the group finally finished ordering.
Ye Qing took the phone,
and couldn't help but feel her eyelids twitch when she saw the total amount.
These women had actually ordered over sixty thousand yuan worth of food.
Yun Zhirou and the other two girls stared intently at Ye Qing,
wanting to see what expression she would have on her face.
Ye Qing looked up and glanced at Yun Zhirou.
She just smiled slightly.
Then she immediately proceeded to make the payment.
After paying, Ye Qing placed the phone on the table.
Yun Zhirou and Cheng Yinuo exchanged a look.
"Could this Ye Qing really be a rich tycoon?"
"But why is she wearing such cheap clothes?"
"Is she pretending to be weak to catch the strong off guard?"
"Or does she have some unusual preference?"
Their eyes were all filled with doubt and uncertainty.
The ingredients were served very quickly.
Looking at the menu, they hadn't really felt it,
but when these real, tangible dishes were placed right in front of them,
everyone couldn't help but swallow hard.
The high-end ingredients, the exquisite plating.
The area around the table was already densely covered with dishes.
Even Cheng Yinuo felt a bit embarrassed.
"Did we really order this much?"
Yun Zhirou nodded, her face slightly flushed.
Everyone braced themselves and started eating.
Meanwhile, a system notification sounded in Ye Qing's mind.
