Jiang Ranran truly found it hard to believe that Li Se would appear before her at such a moment, and even offer to pay her money. Thinking that Li Se wasn't in a very good financial situation, she quickly said, "Li Se, no need, I can figure something out myself."
Li Se smiled. This girl was still the same as before, unwilling to trouble others. He walked to Jiang Ranran's side and looked coldly at the Director Wu in front of them, saying, "Ten thousand yuan, I'll transfer it to you!"
Director Wu frowned slightly. He knew from looking at Jiang Ranran that she couldn't afford ten thousand yuan. He thought he could use this opportunity to get his hands on this beautiful young lady, but he didn't expect this kid to pop up halfway. He then reported his account number.
After Li Se completed the transfer, he said indifferently, "Pick up the money and apologize!"
Director Wu was amused when he heard this, "You want me to apologize?"
"Yes!" Li Se nodded seriously.
Jiang Ranran was a little scared and quickly pulled Li Se, whispering, "Let's forget it, I can pick it up myself."
"It's alright, let him pick it up!" Li Se said with a smile.
"Manager, did you hear that? He wants me to pick up the money and apologize. What do you think?" Director Wu looked at the manager, his intention obvious – he wanted the restaurant to handle this matter.
The manager was a bit helpless. This friend of Jiang Ranran's was really bold, daring to ask Director Wu to apologize. He hurriedly said, "Sir, Director Wu is a VIP of our restaurant. If you continue to be so aggressive, our restaurant will take some action to protect our VIP."
"Oh, what action?" Li Se asked with interest.
"Security, security!" The manager immediately took out his walkie-talkie and shouted.
Several security guards ran over immediately.
Director Wu looked smug, "Do you still want me to pick it up now?"
"Yes, I want you to pick it up." Li Se smiled faintly and took out a black card from his pocket. "I wonder if this is nobler than VIP?"
When the manager saw this black gold card, his legs almost gave out. There were absolutely no more than five people in the entire Qingyun City who possessed this black gold card. With a black gold card, one could consume for free in their group, including this restaurant. This was the most distinguished guest!
"May I know your surname, sir?" The manager's voice trembled slightly.
"Li!"
"Mr. Li, I know what to do." The manager said respectfully, then looked at Director Wu, "Pick up the money and apologize to Mr. Li and Miss Jiang!"
This change in attitude made Director Wu unable to react. He said somewhat angrily, "I am a VIP of your restaurant, and I top up hundreds of thousands every month. You want me to apologize?"
"Heh, Mr. Li is also our black gold member. Either pick up the money and apologize, or our restaurant will take action!" The manager said coldly.
Several security guards slowly approached him.
When Director Wu heard about the black gold membership, he shivered. This was the most distinguished member. He never expected this young man to have it. He didn't dare to hesitate any longer and immediately picked up the money he had knocked away, handed it back to Jiang Ranran with both hands, and said sorry.
"Get lost!" Li Se spat out a word.
Director Wu left without delay.
The reception staff who had just served Li Se were stunned. Such a black gold member was waiting in the waiting area to dine?
"Jiang Ranran, long time no see. Shall we have a meal together?" Li Se invited her proactively.
"I still have to work." Jiang Ranran was hesitant to look at Li Se.
"It's alright, Miss Jiang, feel free to go have a meal with Mr. Li." The manager's attitude towards Jiang Ranran was very respectful.
Jiang Ranran hesitated for a moment and then agreed, as she hadn't seen Li Se for a long time.
Because Li Se was a black gold member, the restaurant prepared the most luxurious private room for him. This room had a very large floor-to-ceiling window, and sunlight streamed in.
"It's been a year since we last met, hasn't it?" Li Se said, looking at the very beautiful Jiang Ranran with some emotion.
"Yes." Jiang Ranran nodded slightly. "I heard you were getting married?"
"No." Li Se shook his head and gave a wry smile. "I'm a single dog now."
"Really?" Jiang Ranran's eyes suddenly lit up.
Li Se touched his nose. "Why do you seem so happy that I'm a single dog?"
"I didn't." Jiang Ranran's face turned red. "How did you become a black gold member of our restaurant?"
"Shen Long gave it to me. I treated his son for an illness." Li Se didn't hide anything.
"You can cure illnesses?" Jiang Ranran was a little surprised.
Li Se laughed. "Yes, I'm very capable now. I'm still a traditional Chinese medicine doctor."
They chatted and laughed. By the time they finished their meal, it was already evening. Jiang Ranran changed into her clothes and left the restaurant.
"I'll walk you home," Li Se said.
"Okay." Jiang Ranran nodded.
Li Se didn't have a car yet, so he could only walk her home. Just as they were about to leave, a very luxurious sports car drove over and stopped in front of them. A second-generation rich kid got out of the car, holding flowers, and said to Jiang Ranran, "Ranran, will you be my girlfriend?"
Jiang Ranran's expression changed slightly. "Zhu Kai, I don't like you at all, and I already have a boyfriend."
As she said this, she voluntarily linked her arm with Li Se's, appearing very intimate.
Zhu Kai then noticed Li Se and frowned. "Who are you? I haven't seen you before."
Li Se naturally put his arm around Jiang Ranran and said, "I am Ranran's boyfriend. Don't set your sights on my girlfriend."
"Tell me, how much money will it take for you to definitely leave Ranran?" Zhu Kai snorted coldly.
"Are you very rich?" Li Se asked with amusement.
"One hundred thousand, is that enough?" Zhu Kai said bluntly.
"Not enough!" Li Se shook his head.
"One million!" Zhu Kai gritted his teeth.
"Still not enough!" Li Se continued to shake his head.
"How much do you want?" Zhu Kai's expression was very displeased.
"Ten billion!" Li Se held up a finger.
"Damn it!" Zhu Kai smashed the flowers on the ground. "You dare to play me!"
As he spoke, he threw a punch towards Li Se's face, but before his fist could touch Li Se, Li Se slapped it back. "Don't bother my girlfriend again, or you'll regret it!"
After saying this, Li Se took Jiang Ranran's hand and left.
Jiang Ranran tilted her head and looked at Li Se. "I find you very domineering."
"I've always been this domineering!" Li Se chuckled.
"Until when do you plan to keep holding my hand?" Jiang Ranran raised her hand and said with a half-smile.
Li Se only then remembered that he had been holding Jiang Ranran's hand. Just as he was about to let go, he found that she was holding his hand and not letting go. He was a little surprised. "You..."
Jiang Ranran said with a blush, "Since I finally met you, of course I have to hold on."
Li Se was stunned. Was this... a confession?
