Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 548 - 504: What Bill? (41/51)

And this man also heard the content of the phone call just moments ago. He was initially thinking of going to play poker or something with these guys tonight, but it seemed quite unrealistic now.

After all, from what the phone conversation implied, Xiao Chen was involved in a lawsuit.

It's better to stay out of such matters, given that he himself wasn't entirely clean.

Of course, he wasn't going to give up easily.

After all, he had already spent so much money today. If he didn't recoup some of it through certain means, wouldn't that make him a fool?

He glanced at Xiao Chen and nodded, then took another glance at the remaining few people:

"Alright then, you better go back and deal with it quickly. Business comes first; we can eat anytime.

But we shouldn't waste these two bottles of wine today, considering they cost several tens of thousands. You go ahead since you have things to do, I'll finish these with them and then see them off."

The implication behind his words was obvious, making it clear he intended to recoup some interest from them.

But after saying this, Xiao Chen's expression clearly turned a bit bleak.

However, when she thought of the call she had just received, she ultimately said nothing, only keeping her discontent to herself.

After all, if she really had to shell out the money herself, she'd have no choice but to seek the help of this boyfriend who was older than her own father.

Even though she didn't want to acknowledge the money or repay Li Wentao, nothing is absolute in this world. Who knows what the final judgment would be?

So, Xiao Chen said nothing, only glancing at the surrounding sisters to gauge their thoughts.

At this point, it's worth mentioning that thankfully, these girls had not lost their last shred of moral integrity, unlike Xiao Chen.

Upon hearing that Xiao Chen was leaving, they all made excuses, saying they'd go with her to see what was going on, since it was their sister's issue, and it wouldn't be right for Xiao Chen to face it alone, right?

Seeing the girls' firm stance, the man also could only sigh inwardly and didn't insist much further, knowing the matter couldn't be rushed.

So he waved his hand and generously said:

"Since that's the case, let's just leave it. I'll just send you all back together then."

After saying this, he casually picked up the car key beside him, waving it in front of the girls with slight regret:

"But the unfortunate part is, my car can only take four more people. Two of you will have to take a taxi back, but don't worry, I'll cover the taxi fare for you."

One has to admit, this guy is really a master of pretension, sounding both generous and showing off that he has a Mercedes-Benz.

Didn't you see the little stars appearing in the girls' eyes? Each one of them was truly eager to ride in the Mercedes.

However, just as the girls were about to speak, deciding who would ride in the Mercedes and who would take a taxi, the man's phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Seeing this, the man first gave everyone an apologetic smile, then his hand, which was conveniently in his pants pocket, took out his phone and, after pressing it, placed it at his ear:

"Oh, isn't this President Chen? Haha, it's been a long time since you contacted me, what's up? Is there new business? Thinking of this buddy of yours?"

After saying this, the man intentionally walked towards the window, keeping a distance before continuing on the phone:

"A two million order, alright, alright, though not much, it can't be not taken, right? I say, can't you be a bit more generous and give me more?

Okay, okay. Now? I don't have time now. Oh dear, this isn't good. Okay, I'll check if I can find the time, I'll head over now."

"Alright, that's it President Chen, let's talk when we meet."

Laughing heartily, he ended the call and then looked at the girls with a helpless expression, spreading his hands:

"I'm really sorry ladies, I just got a last-minute call, there's a new order at the company that needs my attention. So you'll have to make your way back. But don't worry, I'll cover the taxi fare for you, I'll transfer it to Xiao Chen in a bit."

Upon hearing there's something at the guy's company, Xiao Chen immediately stepped in to smooth things over:

"It's fine, really. We'll manage on our own, you go on with your work, it's more important.

I'll first head back to school to check out the situation, then I'll call you."

After exchanging these words, they parted ways.

Once all the girls had gone downstairs, the middle-aged man standing at the booth door did not leave.

The waiter next to him then politely asked:

"Sir, would you like to settle the bill now? I can take you to the counter."

Saying this, he bowed respectfully and gestured with his hand for the man to follow him to the cashier.

However, hearing this, the man immediately shot the waiter a glance of annoyance:

"Settle what bill? I haven't finished eating yet, settle what bill? Shoo, shoo. I'll call you when I'm done eating."

After saying this, he glared at the waiter again, turned around, and walked back into the booth, slamming the door behind him.

After closing the booth door, the man's gaze swept the table, seeing quite a bit of leftovers and two bottles of mostly full wine, and couldn't help but wince:

"Damn little bitch, ordering so much food. Next time I must get back double from you damn people."

Then he sat back in the seat, picked up the chopsticks, and began eating heartily.

Pouring himself a glass of red wine, he took a sip and couldn't help but mutter again:

"Damn, this more than ten thousand yuan red wine doesn't taste any different from what I drink for a few dozen kuai."

After speaking, he nonchalantly tossed his phone from his pocket onto the adjacent table, where it showed the alert screen he had just turned off.

That's right, the call just now wasn't from President Chen, but an alarm he casually set.

The purpose of this alarm was mainly to highlight how busy his work was.

Doesn't it unconsciously elevate his status?

Moreover, just now, it was precisely because of this alarm that he was very grateful for having the foresight.
