On the other side.
Su Yang also returned after parking the shared bicycle.
"What a lousy place, parking is so far away. Luckily, my Koenigsegg is found too."
Arriving downstairs at the restaurant, he said apologetically to Yang Mange, "Miss Yang, sorry to have kept you waiting."
Yang Mange shook her head.
"Let's go up first, or Auntie and the others will be waiting too long."
Saying that, she took the lead towards the restaurant.
—Such a good temper.
—If it were the Mu Shuman from back then, even if the date was just a minute late, it would be impossible not to get scolded for half an hour.
—If I didn't bring a gift after being late, I could have been finished.
—Mom is becoming more and more reliable, introducing such a good blind date.
Thinking this, Su Yang walked into the restaurant with a smile, following Yang Mange.
As it was a high-end club, an appointment holder's information was required for entry.
Su Yang had booked the place, so he could enter with ease.
However, the directing team was embarrassingly stopped by the restaurant's security.
No matter how much they explained that they were from the program "A Date with a Big Star," it was useless. They had to wait for the restaurant manager to arrive.
The director showed him his work ID and program proof before they were allowed in.
But they were informed that they could only film discreetly and not disturb other guests. The directing team had no choice but to agree.
Inside the "A Date with a Big Star" live broadcast room.
"Heh, as expected of the most high-end place in Songhai City. Our show for this episode almost fell through."
The host, Lin Xue'er, smiled slightly, appearing embarrassed for the production team.
"Indeed, UV Restaurant is the first restaurant in the country to be awarded three Michelin stars. To get in, you must book at least a month in advance."
A guest holding a microphone briefly explained.
"Last year, a friend invited me there. Because he didn't tell me the private room information, I was stopped by the security. I finally had to call my friend to pick me up before I could get in."
Another guest raised a question.
"But if an advance reservation is required, why could the male lead order food anytime using his phone?"
Remembering the scene of Su Yang showing his phone for ordering food on the live broadcast earlier, the first guest explained.
"Advance reservation is naturally necessary, but it doesn't mean it's the only way."
"After all, some wealthy bosses don't care if they have a reservation or not. They directly call the restaurant manager on the day and pay a temporary booking fee."
"So that's how it is."
Hearing the explanation, Lin Xue'er showed a look of sudden realization.
At this moment, other guests chimed in with smiles.
"I just don't know how much this temporary booking fee is."
As soon as this was said, the viewers in the live broadcast room also became curious.
[I guess it's not just a dollar or two.]
[What! Not a dollar or two? Then I'm not going.]
[The one upstairs, if you don't go, then I won't go either.]
[Perspective, we need perspective. A dollar or two, does that even make sense? I think it must be tens of dollars!]
[If it's what the one upstairs said, then it's not much. Half a month's salary is enough for me.]
[Big shot! Half a month's salary is enough? That's my food expenses for a year!]
[Low-key, low-key...]
At this moment, Su Yang, having just presented his booking information, entered the restaurant with Yang Mange.
He looked at the remaining balance on his phone, that long string of numbers.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Two hundred thousand!
This temporary booking fee was as high as two hundred thousand.
If it were the Su Yang from before, let alone seeing it, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.
But now, looking at the remaining balance of 2.6 billion.
Su Yang even felt the price was a bit low.
Damn it, I need to quickly find ways to spend money after dinner, my heart is tired...
Su Yang followed Yang Mange, not too far, not too close.
Suddenly, he saw Yang Mange bend down. Just as Su Yang was about to go up and ask what happened.
Yang Mange spoke first.
"Mr. Su, you go to the private room first. I need to go to the restroom."
"Are you okay? Do you want me to accompany you?"
"It's fine, I can do it alone."
Yang Mange shook her head and then turned towards the restroom.
"Alright, I'll wait for you in the private room then."
Hearing her say it was fine, Su Yang didn't think much of it and prepared to go ahead.
Just then, his phone rang again: You walk alone in the dark alley, I love your unyielding look, I love you facing despair, refusing to cry...
I'm changing this ringtone later!
Seeing the strange looks from people around him, Su Yang said resolutely in his heart.
"Hello, Mom, what is it again?"
Answering the call, Su Yang said with some helplessness.
"You brat, why aren't you here yet? Your cousin brought her boyfriend and has been here for a long time. Don't let them laugh at us."
Su Yang glanced at the restroom door. "Coming, coming, already downstairs."
"I'll give you five minutes! Also, where did you book? I almost died of shock when I saw the menu just now. Where did you get so much money? Did you rob a bank?"
"Sigh, Mom, don't worry about it. It's the first time I'm bringing her to meet you all, so I have to choose a decent place."
"You spendthrift, you don't need to be so extravagant to date a girlfriend. Forget it, since you're here, I'll deal with you when we get back!"
After speaking, without waiting for Su Yang to explain further, Zhang Ma decisively hung up the phone.
"Cousin... In the original body's memory, his cousin was a delinquent, dating since she was young. This time, won't her boyfriend be another punk again?"
Su Yang curled his lips. Seeing that Yang Mange wouldn't be back so soon, he casually put his hands in his pockets and leisurely walked towards the private room.
Inside the restaurant's private room.
Zhang Ning, who had finished her call in a corner, returned to the table.
Seeing Zhang Ma return, a middle-aged man with a beard said impatiently, "What's going on? Is that brat Su Yang here yet?"
"All of us elders are waiting."
Saying that, the middle-aged man deliberately lowered his voice, "Yiyi's boyfriend arrived on time, don't keep him waiting."
The middle-aged man is Su Yang's maternal uncle, Zhang Dafu. He didn't have a good relationship with Su Yang's family, mainly because he looked down on Su Yang's father. When his sister Zhang Ning got married, he opposed it.
He wasn't here for Su Yang this time, but because his daughter Zhang Yiyi was bringing her boyfriend to meet him.
As for Su Yang, it was just a secondary matter.
"I just called to ask, he's already downstairs and will be here soon, very soon."
Zhang Ma replied with a smile.
Then she turned her gaze to a man in a suit sitting opposite her.
"I heard that Xingwei's family is a high-level executive in a company? Truly accomplished at a young age."
The man immediately stood up and humbly waved his hand.
"Not at all, I just do what an agent does, working day and night, running around, and not earning much. I heard that Yiyi's cousin is a student, that's what has a future."
"Tch, what future does my cousin have? I don't even know if he'll find a job in the future." Zhang Yiyi, sitting next to her, said disdainfully.
"Is that so? Hehe..."
Chen Xingwei gave a forced, awkward laugh.
He knew very well what Su Yang was studying. Finance? To put it bluntly, without family connections in society, he could only be a small employee after graduation.
However, he said this only to leave a good impression on Zhang Yiyi's family.
