"Okay, let's go to Tang Palace No. 1, the same place we went to last time."

"This time, it's my treat!"

This time, Lu Fan did not refuse.

Whether it's acquiring land or buying a house.

Jiang Manyue could be said to have helped him a great deal.

Acquiring land goes without saying.

Without a company like Excellence, he wouldn't even be qualified to register for the land auction.

Buying a house is the same.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the price of over 150,000 is very high now.

These rare luxury homes in prime locations are highly sought after by wealthy individuals, who often find themselves unable to secure one.

It'll be no problem for the price to rise to 200,000 per square meter in the future.

It's definitely worth celebrating...

Moreover, it was Jiang Manyue who treated us last time.

It is only right and proper for us to reciprocate her invitation.

"Okay, then I'll order a few more dishes."

"They only pick the ridiculously expensive ones..."

"After all, you should still have over ten million in cash in your account..."

"No, there's another 20 million in my company's account."

"It doesn't seem like I'd really bankrupt you!"

Jiang Manyue beamed with joy.

He then shook his head repeatedly, lamenting his miscalculation.

"With your small frame, how much can you possibly eat!"

Lu Fan dismissed it with disdain.

He turned his head and glanced at Jiang Manyue unexpectedly.

Uh, I was proven wrong...

In some places—it's not small!

And it has a very strong presence!

The cramped rear seat space felt incredibly oppressive.

There's more room for imagination...

Lu Fan quickly turned his head and looked out the car window.

Forcibly shifting attention to other things—

This crazy woman knows exactly how much I have in my entire fortune.

What are you doing? Trying to control my finances?

I want to take over the household, but I can't...

Oh my god! What am I even thinking?!

Jiang Manyue noticed that Lu Fan's gaze was somewhat strange.

Her pretty face flushed slightly, she leaned forward slightly, and looked out the other car window without saying a word.

Half an hour later.

We've arrived at Tang Palace No. 1 again.

It's still the same private room as last time at "Changgeli".

Jiang Manyue kept her word and ordered a table full of dishes, as well as a bottle of red wine.

How can we celebrate without having a drink...

Lu Fan just said "Oh, whatever you want, it won't bankrupt me anyway."

Both of them were in good spirits and enjoyed a delicious dinner.

They even finished the whole bottle of red wine.

Lu Fan's alcohol tolerance is beyond question; he could easily drink a whole bottle by himself.

Jiang Manyue also drank just as much.

We each drank one cup, splitting it in half.

From her calm demeanor, without blushing or skipping a beat, it was clear that nothing had happened.

Being a CEO inevitably involves socializing, which also develops a high alcohol tolerance.

"Let me take you home..."

"I made you work as my driver for more than half a month, so I owe you that."

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Jiang Manyue naturally made the suggestion.

"Okay, thanks."

Lu Fan nodded; after all, they had a driver.

Thinking of the driver, Lu Fan called over a waiter and had the dishes on the table packed up.

Many of the dishes hadn't even been touched.

"Do you want some to go? I was originally thinking of giving some to Sister Mei..."

Jiang Manyue was slightly taken aback.

Sister Mei is the driver auntie.

"The bill I paid is naturally mine."

Lu Fan didn't stand on ceremony at all; he picked up the takeout box and went out to pay the bill.

When Lu Fan handed the takeout box to Aunt Mei.

Jiang Manyue then suddenly realized...

"Sister Mei, these dishes haven't been touched much, it's such a waste to throw them away."

"I live alone. Could you please help me?"

Lu Fan smiled apologetically.

He had heard Jiang Manyue mention that Sister Mei had a younger brother who had difficulty moving around.

Her job as a driver involved very irregular hours.

I usually don't have time to cook, so I order takeout to be delivered to my home.

She just happened to need this takeout meal.

Otherwise, Lu Fan wouldn't have acted on his own initiative...

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lu."

Sister Mei took the takeout box and casually placed it on the passenger seat.

This can be considered as accepting Lu Fan's apology.

Jiang Manyue glanced at Lu Fan, then couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Remember to come to the company tomorrow to finalize the interior design plan."

"Get it done as soon as possible so we can move in."

"You have no idea, I'm such a grown-up, and it's really inconvenient for me to still live with my parents."

The car arrived at the Marriott Hotel.

Jiang Manyue, like a mother hen, gave Lu Fan some instructions.

"Okay..."

Lu Fan was too lazy to even complain about her.

You're a grown adult, who can stop you from moving out if you want?

Are you someone who doesn't own a house?

Your family owns several thousand, even tens of thousands of properties in the southern part of the city!

Watching Lu Fan disappear into the hotel entrance alone once again.

Jiang Manyue regretted not drinking a few more bottles of wine.

In that case...

You can take advantage of being drunk to go along and sit for a while.

Okay, let's sit down for a bit...

Disheartened, Jiang Manyue did not go home.

Instead, she went to a close friend's house.

My best friend went on a business trip out of town for more than a month and only came back today.

My best friend, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, had originally planned to have dinner with Jiang Manyue.

But how could Jiang Manyue bear to miss the opportunity to fleece Lu Fan?

So he made an excuse that he had a social engagement that evening and would go to see her afterward.

Lu Fan is now considered a semi-partner of Zhuoyue.

Calling it a social obligation doesn't seem wrong.
