He parked his car in the underground garage of the Global Financial Center.

Qi Sheng checked his GPS and found the yakiniku restaurant on the first floor of Tower B.

The restaurant’s decor was quite unique.

A black and gold color scheme paired with orange-yellow lighting created a quiet, comfortable, and warm ambiance.

When Qi Sheng saw that every booth in the main hall was full, he felt a headache coming on.

After running around all this time, he was starving.

Whatever little he ate in the morning had been burned off long ago during his workout.

Having to wait in line now would be torture.

’Waiting in line is out of the question. Guess I’ll have to find a lucky girl and make an arrangement.’

Qi Sheng’s eyes scanned the room, and he quickly locked onto a target.

Two very innocent-looking, pretty girls were chattering away, sharing secrets, completely oblivious to his gaze.

From their fresh, young faces, it wasn’t hard to guess they were still college students.

’Ah, college life is the best,’ Qi Sheng thought, feeling a wave of nostalgia.

’If I get the chance, I have to experience it again.’

"Hehe, handsome, why are you looking at us?"

One of them, a lively beauty with a delicate, v-shaped face, happened to meet his gaze and struck up a conversation.

The girl next to her, who had an oval face, was clearly more introverted.

Her eyes met Qi Sheng’s for just a moment before quickly darting away.

She also pressed her fair, shapely, long legs tightly together.

Qi Sheng hadn’t expected his luck to be this good.

He had actually stumbled upon two top-tier, A-Level beauties.

’As expected, beauties only hang out with other beauties.’

"I really don’t want to wait in line for a table. How about you two ladies give me a chance, and I’ll treat you to dinner?"

Qi Sheng didn’t look away, extending the invitation with confidence and ease.

For girls, a confident man always made a better impression.

Many guys didn’t even dare to make eye contact with them.

They would only sneak glances at their sexy, hot bodies from a distance, which was why the girls held them in contempt.

A man with this kind of confidence was naturally not your average person.

Qi Sheng was dressed in a Gucci summer outfit, and the Rolex on his wrist was also very eye-catching.

Even if the girls couldn’t recognize the specific model, they would definitely recognize the Rolex logo.

"Sure! We’re next in line anyway. My name is Du Xinxin, you can just call me Xinxin."

Du Xinxin introduced them with a grin, linking arms with the oval-faced beauty.

"Her name is Pan Yinuo, you can call her Nuonuo."

"A pleasure to meet you both. I’m Qi Sheng."

Just as Qi Sheng finished introducing himself, they heard the waiter call their number.

"Over here!"

Du Xinxin jumped up and down, full of energy, afraid the waiter would skip over them.

They had already been waiting for nearly forty minutes, and their stomachs were rumbling with hunger.

It was rare for them to have free time on the weekend, so Du Xinxin had dragged Pan Yinuo, who was usually a homebody, out to splurge for once.

They never expected a sucker to voluntarily walk right into their hands.

Pan Yinuo quietly tugged on Du Xinxin’s arm.

"Xinxin, maybe we should eat somewhere else."

"Why?" Du Xinxin was confused.

"I just don’t think it’s right for us to accept a meal from a stranger. If you really want to eat here, we should split the bill with him later."

Pan Yinuo leaned in and whispered in her friend’s ear.

"Fine. I’ll just send him the money later."

Du Xinxin pouted, a little unhappy.

She was hoping to save the money from this meal to buy a Dior lipstick.

Now, that was completely out of the question.

The three of them followed the waiter to a newly cleaned booth.

Qi Sheng opened the menu and, without hesitation, started rattling off the names of dishes he liked.

"Purebred Wagyu short ribs, the house special cut, purebred Wagyu karubi, imperial Wagyu beef cubes, purebred Wagyu flank, thick-cut premium beef tongue, and button mushrooms. Two orders of each."

Across from him, Du Xinxin and Pan Yinuo nervously looked at the menu and realized that the dishes he had just ordered already cost over two thousand yuan.

’If we split the bill after this, we’ll be eating dirt for the rest of the month.’

Du Xinxin shot her friend a resentful look.

They could have saved that money, but now she had to spend nearly half a month’s living expenses.

Pan Yinuo hugged Du Xinxin’s arm and swayed it back and forth. Who could resist a beauty with a mature, queenly figure acting cute?

Even Du Xinxin, who spent every day with Pan Yinuo, couldn’t help but be captivated by her friend’s contrasting behavior.

’This little vixen is dangerously charming.’

"You guys have king crab here?"

Qi Sheng’s interest was suddenly piqued when he saw a page on the menu.

In his past life, he could never have afforded a high-end ingredient like king crab.

He had only ever seen it on TikTok and in novels.

"Yes, sir. Our king crab is 888 yuan per jin, and we can prepare it in six different ways. Would you like to order one?"

The waiter recommended it enthusiastically; he could naturally tell that this man was the one paying the bill.

"Go bring one out for me to see."

Qi Sheng smiled and nodded, gesturing for the waiter to go get it.

"Of course, please wait a moment."

Across the table, Du Xinxin and Pan Yinuo were dumbfounded.

The ingredients so far were already two thousand yuan.

Adding a king crab would probably bring the total to several thousand. How could they possibly split that?!

"Ahem, handsome, we already have enough food. Maybe we shouldn’t order the king crab?"

Du Xinxin glared at her friend, even though she desperately wanted to try the king crab herself.

But she was the one who had promised Pan Yinuo they would split the bill with Qi Sheng.

If this guy ordered the king crab, the two of them would have almost no living expenses left for the month.

For the second half of the month, they would really have to resort to eating dirt.

"Er... I’m really craving king crab today. If you’re allergic to seafood, you can just order some more beef later."

Qi Sheng wasn’t some simp; he was a handsome, rich man who earned two million a month.

He wasn’t going to do whatever a girl told him to do.

He had his own principles.

"Fine."

Du Xinxin shot Pan Yinuo a dirty look.

’He’s already put it like that. The worst that can happen is we just don’t eat it later.’

’As long as we don’t touch the king crab, we probably won’t have to split the cost for anything other than the barbecue.’

A short while later, the waiter returned carrying a box made of natural wood.

On it was the king of all seafood ingredients—a king crab!

"Mr. Qi, I just weighed this king crab for you. It’s 4.8 jin in total. Is this acceptable?"

The waiter waited cautiously for Qi Sheng’s reply.

It was extremely rare for customers to order king crab at their restaurant.

If people really wanted to eat seafood, why wouldn’t they go to a dedicated seafood restaurant?

"That’s fine. Go ahead and prepare it."

Qi Sheng took a photo and nodded.

"Very good, sir. Please wait a moment."

After getting Qi Sheng’s confirmation, the waiter respectfully carried the king crab away.

"Oh my god, that king crab costs 4,262 yuan! That’s more than my living expenses for a month and a half."

Du Xinxin pulled out her phone’s calculator and came up with a result that made her want to break down.

Two months of her living expenses were nothing more than a casual meal for this rich young master.

There were plenty of rich kids at her school, but she had never seen anyone as composed as Qi Sheng.

It seemed like spending several thousand yuan on a meal was as easy for him as her buying a bun for breakfast, without a second thought about the price.

Of course it was. Qi Sheng had an income of two million a month.

Spending 6,000 yuan on a meal was just a drop in the bucket for him.

This was real financial power, not just someone putting up a front.
