Chapter 30: Defection

Feeling the gazes of the people around him on Zhen Haoyuan, Yu Shan looked at Zhen Shao Yuan again and was very satisfied with his craftsmanship.

I, Shao Yuan, was already good-looking, and now under his skillful hands, my good looks have been brought up to eleven points.

The extra point is all thanks to them.

After putting on makeup and styling his hair, I, Shao Yuan, can't even compare to Si Yi.

It's like adding a filter.

I, Shao Yuan, always feel as if there is a layer of paste on my face.

My hair always feels sticky because of the hairspray.

Just when Shao Yuan was about to reach out to fix his hair, Yu Shan held him down.

"My Lord, please stop it! It took me half an hour to make this."

"You're making me uncomfortable. I thought it was fine before."

I, Shao Yuan, am really not used to it and always feel uncomfortable all over.

"You'll get used to it slowly." Yu Shan said, "Didn't you say you wanted to do a live broadcast? Hurry up, or those guys will be here soon."

When they set off, Yu Shan had already sent a message in the class group.

Almost no one in the class has a car.

So, I can only take the subway and then walk here.

It takes at least an hour.

I, Shao Yuan, said, "Don't worry. We're not in the same private room as them. Otherwise, why do you think I need five private rooms?"

I, Shao Yuan, have already sent the private room number to Zhou Jie and Gao Fei.

To be honest, I, Shao Yuan, had a pretty good relationship with my classmates before.

However, ever since Guo Donglai played dirty tricks behind his back and ruined his reputation.

In the class, except for Ding Lanlan and Yu Shan, no one else has much contact with me, Shao Yuan.

My relationship with them was originally very ordinary.

This is better.

I, Shao Yuan, am too lazy to be hypocritical with them.

As soon as I got off the car, I, Shao Yuan, started the live broadcast.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the live broadcast started, more than a hundred people flocked to the scene in less than two minutes.

"Finally the live broadcast started, host. Do you know that I almost starved to death waiting for you to start the live broadcast?"

"I've been watching since ten o'clock, just to see if the host really went to the ancient building."

"My little brother is so handsome..."

"I just heard that someone dared to come to this den of gold in the ancient building, so I came in to see who was so bold."

"Anchor, could you please tell me the exact time next time? I've been holding my phone so early in the morning just to see you. My wife almost thought I was looking at a beautiful woman."

"Finally I can see my little brother again. Little brother, are you really going to the ancient building this time?"

"I'm superficial. I came here to see the handsome guy. I haven't seen him all night. You look handsome again, anchor."

"It's fake, I'm here to expose the anchor."

…

There were more than a hundred people watching the show as soon as it started, which was beyond my expectations.

I, Shao Yuan, was just about to adjust the angle when Si Yi stretched out his hand, "Master, let me help you."

"Okay." Zhen Shao Yuan directly handed the phone to Si Yi.

Si Yi's movements were very steady, and he directly pushed Zhen Shao Yuan into the end.

I, Shao Yuan, felt much more relaxed now that I didn't have to carry my cell phone.

He coughed and then greeted the audience in front of the screen.

"Hello everyone, I'm the Royal Super Purchasing Agent, my name is Zhen Shao Yuan. Those who watched my live broadcast yesterday already know my profession. Newcomers may not know."

"I'll introduce myself again. I'm a shopping agent. If anyone needs help, please let me know. I'll post the link for you to take the photo."

"I can do the shopping for you right here. But for food, you have to come and pick it up in person. For example, today's shopping location is our ancient building in Blue City."

As soon as I Shao Yuan finished speaking, Si Yi immediately pointed the camera at the door of the ancient building behind me Shao Yuan.

When the people in the live broadcast room saw that I, Shao Yuan, was actually preparing to go into the ancient building to eat, they immediately started to flood the screen with comments.

"Did the anchor really go to Gulou? I heard that Gulou is the most upscale Han restaurant in our Han country."

"It's terrible that the people upstairs are so uneducated. Our Han country's most upscale Han restaurant is clearly a state banquet hall."

"The anchor isn't just going to the door to take some background photos, is he? If you have the guts, go in for real."

"That's right, if you don't practice what you say, who can't do it? If you have the guts, go in and actually order food and eat. Only then will we believe you."

"I heard that you need to make a reservation to eat at the ancient building. And you have to make a reservation several days in advance. If you don't have a reservation, you can't get in."

"It must be a lie."

I, Shao Yuan, am not angry when I see that many people suspect that I am cheating.

"Since everyone wants to go in and take a look, let's go in. By the way, I have a few friends here today. It might not be convenient for them to leave the country, so please bear with me."

After saying that, I, Shao Yuan, took Ding Lanlan and Yu Shan in.

Si Yi followed closely beside Zhen Shao Yuan.

When walking, the hand holding the phone holder did not shake at all.

As Shao Yuan and others walked to the door, four receptionists dressed in white ancient costumes came towards them.

One of the receptionists politely asked, "Do any of you gentlemen have an appointment?"

Zhen Shao Yuan said: "Yes, my surname is Zhen, Yueguan Zhen."

When the four receptionists heard this, the smiles on their faces deepened.

"I am Shao Yuan, welcome to the ancient building. Your five large private rooms are all ready, please follow us."

The receptionist led Zhen Shao Yuan and others directly through the ancient lobby, then passed through an archway and came to the backyard.

Then, he walked up the wooden stairs and came to the large private room on the second floor.

It was the first time for Shao Yuan and others to enter the ancient building. We were amazed by its low-key and luxurious ancient style.

The people in the live broadcast room were also amazed.

"Mr. Zhen, this is the recipe."

Several receptionists handed four cookbooks to me, Shao Yuan and the other three.

Si Yi was pulled by Shao Yuan and sat on his left.

Yu Shan and Ding Lanlan sat on the right side of me, Shao Yuan.

As soon as I opened the menu, my attention was immediately drawn to the exquisite dishes on it.

What attracts more attention is the price above.

An ordinary vegetarian dish costs six hundred yuan.

As for meat dishes, the starting price is usually three to four thousand.

Yu Shan and Ding Lanlan were very surprised by what they saw.

"What do you want to eat?" asked Shao Yuan.

Ding Lanlan said with a troubled look on her face, "I really don't know how to choose."

Yu Shan agreed: "Yeah, they all look delicious."

"Si Yi, what about you?" I, Shao Yuan, turned my head and asked Si Yi.

Si Yi said, "Whatever the young master eats, I will eat."

"I see."

I, Shao Yuan, closed the menu directly and said to the receptionist beside him, "Then give me one."

The receptionist was stunned. "One copy?"

"Yes, bring up all the dishes on your menu."

I, Shao Yuan, am too lazy to choose.

Since you are already here, you might as well try all the dishes here.

The receptionist here is quite knowledgeable.

React quickly.

"Okay, Mr. Zhen, what about the dishes in the other private rooms..."

"The same goes for the dishes in other private rooms."

As soon as the receptionist closed the door and left, the live broadcast room exploded.

"Oh my god, a copy? That's a really cool thing to say."

"The anchor said the same thing yesterday in the coffee shop. Only the anchor dared to say that."

"Bring all the dishes up. Can the host afford to pay later?"

"Yeah, I heard that the dishes in Gulou cost over ten thousand yuan each?"

"I seemed to hear the word 'private room' just now."

"I heard about other private rooms? Could it be that the host booked more than one room?"

…

I, Shao Yuan, glanced at the live broadcast room.

"Yes, I booked a few private rooms. As for the reason, it's not convenient to explain here. The money for the private rooms has already been paid. So you don't have to worry about me not being able to pay."

"Let me show you the recipes here. If you need help buying something, just send me a private message. However, you have to get this dish yourself. Siyi, take a picture of the recipe and show it to them."

Si Yi opened the recipe and took a picture with her mobile phone.

When the people in the live broadcast room saw the prices on the menu, they all exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh my god, this dish is too expensive. Six thousand for a chicken? Isn't this just robbery?"

"How much does this cookbook cost? Tens of thousands, right?"

"What do you mean tens of thousands? It should be at least a hundred thousand. Just now, a signature dish cost over ten thousand."

"I just happened to see this. This host's private room is a big one, right? The kind you have to pay 100,000 yuan directly to reserve. Because the minimum consumption for this kind of room is 100,000 yuan."

"One hundred thousand? For a meal?"

"I can't believe it. The host just said that he booked more than one private room."

"So, the host's lunch costs at least 200,000?"

"I originally thought that this afternoon tea costing tens of thousands was already luxurious enough, but I didn't expect there would be a lunch costing two hundred thousand."

"It's possible that it's more than 200,000."

…

Seeing so much activity in the live broadcast room.

I, Shao Yuan, took the opportunity to ask, "Does anyone want to buy food from Gulou for me? If so, please send me a private message now. Otherwise, after lunch, I will turn off the live broadcast and stop buying food for you."

The people in the live broadcast room heard what I, Shao Yuan, said.

I was suddenly surprised.

"Does the anchor really help with shopping?"

"Can this vegetable rice be purchased on behalf of others? Is the host kidding?"

Zhen Shao Yuan: "I'm not kidding, I'm a purchasing agent now. Now, if any of you like to eat at Gulou's food, I can help you buy it. Gulou is a chain. If you want to eat, I can help you place the order, and you can just go to the Gulou near you to pick up the food.

"Purchasing fee?"

"Oh, as for the purchasing fee, I'll charge you 300 yuan each."

"Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, you can place an order and try it."

Ding Lanlan and Yu Shan looked at Zhen Shaoyuan talking on his phone. They glanced at each other.

Ding Lanlan said to Zhen Shao Yuan in surprise, "Your Majesty, are you serious? Are you really planning to be the purchasing agent?"

I, Shao Yuan, said: "Yes, I am already sitting here, how can it be fake?"

Yu Shan gave Zhen Shao Yuan a thumbs-up. "I finally understand why you came to this ancient building today. It seems you came to find material for a live broadcast. Five hundred thousand fans, you're awesome."

Yu Shan’s voice was quite loud and everyone in the live broadcast room heard it.

"Five hundred thousand? Fool."

"So, the host has booked five private rooms?"

"Rich people, huh? But what I want to know more is why the host's friends called the host Your Majesty? Did I hear it wrong?"

"The person upstairs heard it right. I heard it too."

"So, I boldly speculate, could the host really be the king of some small country?"

"Come on, don't worry. Didn't the host just introduce him? His last name is Zhen, Yueguan Zhen. That's how ancient emperors called themselves. I guess that's why his friends call him Your Majesty."

"The anchor must be a wealthy second-generation, otherwise his friends wouldn't be so surprised that he's a shopping agent."

"Script, this must be a script. Who would spend 500,000 yuan on a meal?"

The number of people in the live broadcast room gradually increased.

After all, the gimmick of a meal costing 500,000 yuan is quite attractive.

Some people believe it, but some people think that I, Shao Yuan, am acting.

Soon, Zhou Jie and Gao Fei arrived.

Gao Fei's voice arrived before he even showed up.

"Your Majesty, I knew you still cared about me. That's why you couldn't wait to call me to accompany you."

As soon as Gao Fei opened the door, he raised his index finger, pinched his throat, and ran towards me, Shao Yuan.

Before he reached Zhen Shao Yuan, Si Yi stood up and blocked him.

"Mr. Gao, please respect yourself. The young master is broadcasting live now. Your every word and action will be seen by the people in the broadcast room."

As she spoke, Si Yi raised her cell phone so that Gao Fei could see it clearly.

But his face was not captured.

Only the area below his neck was photographed.

Gao Fei quickly stopped.

"Live... broadcast?"

Gao Fei's expression froze. "Um, did you take a picture of my face?"

Si Yi: "No, but if Mr. Gao had been closer, he would have been able to take a picture."

"Ahem, um, Yu Shan, I'd better sit with you."

As he spoke, Gao Fei took a few steps back, then covered his face with one hand, pulled out a chair with the other, and sat next to Yu Shan.

Gao Fei didn't expect that Shao Yuan was actually broadcasting live.

You know, he is a live streamer himself, and he has quite a few fans.

He dared not act presumptuously in front of the camera.

If there are his fans in Shao Yuan’s live broadcast room, then we’re doomed.

Yu Shan said with a look of disgust: "You go sit across from me, I don't want to sit with you."

Yu Shan was also afraid that he would be exposed because of Gao Fei.

After all, he is a somewhat famous beauty blogger on the Internet.

Gao Fei shamelessly said, "I don't want to. I just like this seat. I like sitting next to you."

Yu Shan: "You have no shame."

Gao Fei: "Yeah, I'm shameless."

Zhen Shao Yuan curiously asked Zhou Jie who came in behind Gao Fei, "Why did you come with him?"

Zhou Jie walked over to Si Yi and sat down, saying, "I just happened to meet you on the way here."

Zhen Shao Yuan nodded, "What a coincidence! Sorry, I'm live streaming. Don't worry, I won't film your faces. If it's inconvenient, please let me know."

He didn't even inform Gao Fei and Zhou Jie in advance about his live broadcast.

I, Shao Yuan, feel a little guilty about broadcasting live without their consent.

"It's okay. I'm so handsome, I'm not afraid of being on camera. The one who should be afraid is the other person."

Zhou Jie glanced at Gao Fei.

Gao Fei heard what he said, glared at him fiercely, and wanted to refute him.

But I am worried that my voice will be recognized by people in the live broadcast room.

So he could only warn Jay Chou with his eyes in frustration.

After the two of them arrived, the dishes began to arrive one after another.

Guo Donglai and his large group also arrived at the door of the ancient building.

They didn't even need to ask. As soon as the receptionist at the door saw a large group of them, he immediately came forward and asked if they were Mr. Zhen's guests.

After Guo Donglai and the others agreed, the receptionist immediately took them to the other four private rooms.

Although the large private room in the ancient building can accommodate twenty people.

But it can seat twenty-five people.

There are more than sixty people and four large private rooms, which is more than enough.

They had just sat down when, unexpectedly, the waiter brought the dishes to them.

Looking at the table full of dishes, everyone was shocked.

Zhang Shuiqing couldn't help but ask the waiter next to him, "Why are there so many dishes? We haven't ordered yet."

The waiter replied: "This is the dish Mr. Zhen ordered in advance."

A male classmate beside him asked, "With so many dishes, the price must be quite high, right?"

"Don't worry, gentlemen. I have already paid for all the expenses for the private room." The waiter handed the long receipt directly to the male student.

When the male student saw it, he exclaimed, “Oh shit!”

"How much money surprised you so much?"

Another male classmate leaned over.

Then he exclaimed, "Fuck, 118,000?"

"What? One hundred and eighteen thousand?"

When others saw the price on the receipt, they were also shocked.

"Let me see."

Guo Donglai walked over and snatched the receipt.

He was also very surprised when he saw that it was really 110,000.

He had always doubted my identity as a rich second-generation Shao Yuan.

After all, he has never seen any rich second generation who would work part-time and be popular.

But now I see that I, Shao Yuan, actually gave the money.

Only then did I truly confirm Shao Yuan’s identity as a rich second-generation.

Zhang Miao, who was standing by, was also surprised when he heard that a table full of dishes cost 118,000 yuan.

"Is Shao Yuan so rich?"

Zhang Miao can be considered a rich second-generation.

But she couldn't even imagine spending 118,000 yuan on a lunch.

No, it’s not 118,000, because I, Shao Yuan, seem to have booked five private rooms.

If all five private rooms had the same kind of food.

In other words, I, Shao Yuan, spent five hundred and ninety thousand on this meal?

Fifty-nine thousand yuan for a meal, this figure is unimaginable for everyone present.

"I didn't expect Shao Yuan to be so rich. I used to think he was deliberately creating a rich second-generation identity just to make short videos."

"I thought so too. I thought we were just classmates, so I didn't want to expose him. I didn't expect it to be true."

"If that's true, then the story about him breaking the plate and blaming it on Guo Donglai because he was afraid of paying for it must be a lie, right?"

"That's definitely fake. If you can treat me to a meal worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, why would you care about a plate worth over a thousand?"

"Guo Donglai was willing to sacrifice himself to be with Zhang Miao just for money. It's clear who is wronging whom."

"That's too much. If you ask me, Zhang Miao must be truly blind this time. How could she fall for Guo Donglai?"

"Who knows?"

Although the students around me could lower their voices when they spoke.

However, Guo Donglai still heard it.

And their contempt was so undisguised.

"What nonsense are you talking about? That incident was definitely my fault. You can't wrongly accuse Donglai just because of a meal."

Zhang Miao, who had dressed up nicely for today's meal, stood up and spoke for her boyfriend.

Although Zhang Miao has dark skin and is fat.

But he is usually helpful and has a good personality.

Many people in the class have a good impression of her.

But ever since she and Guo Donglai got together, she has protected Guo Donglai in everything and doesn't allow anyone to say anything bad about him.

Even though everyone in the class told her that Guo Donglai was attracted to her because her family was rich.

But not only did she not believe it, she was like a possessed person and obeyed Guo Donglai's orders.

After Zhang Miao finished speaking, Guo Donglai's three roommates also came out to speak for Guo Donglai.

Seeing that Zhang Miao seemed to be stubborn and refused to change, everyone stopped talking.

Because you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

Guo Donglai didn't say much throughout the whole process. He just stood behind Zhang Miao and others with a look of grievance on his face.

Watching Zhang Miao and others defend him. Without saying a word

Some people in the class looked down on Guo Donglai even more when they saw him like this.

Guo Donglai asked everyone to stop talking and couldn't help but change the subject.

"Well, since we're here for dinner, how can we not have some wine? I, Shao Yuan, am being a bit stingy. How about we order a few bottles of wine?"

Guo Donglai flipped through the wine list. "I think Taohuachun is good. What do you think? Two bottles if possible?"

"Peach Blossom Spring?" Zhang Shuiqing sneered, "That wine costs 100,000 a bottle, right? I, Shao Yuan, will pay for this meal, but Guo Donglai, I also advise you to stop."

The other students couldn't stand it anymore and agreed with him.

"That's right, Guo Donglai, you should have some shame, right? We all know how Zhang Miao became the most beautiful girl in the class. We just don't want to expose you."

"Zhang Miao is blind, but we are not."

"Guo Donglai, don't push your luck."

Faced with the contempt of his classmates, even if Guo Donglai was thick-skinned, he felt a little embarrassed.

He just felt that the group of people in front of him were simply a bunch of fence-sitters.

Why didn’t they seem so righteous before?

It's because you see that I, Shao Yuan, am rich, and you still have the nerve to look down on him.

Aren't they a bunch of mean people who despise the poor and love the rich?

"Since you guys don't want to drink, I'll just order a bottle. We can drink it ourselves."

Guo Donglai was unwilling to save money for Shao Yuan. Zhang Miao spent more than 20,000 yuan to get this meal.

How can you not eat enough?

In the end, Guo Donglai ordered the Taohuachun bottle worth 100,000 yuan regardless of the consequences.

Since he has lost all his face anyway, Guo Donglai might as well just be shameless.

The waiter told this to Zhen Shao Yuan.

When Ding Lanlan found out, she stood up from her chair. "What? Guo Donglai ordered a bottle of Taohuachun for 100,000 yuan? How dare he be so bold? I'll go find him."

"No need to go." I, Shao Yuan, grabbed him.

Yu Shan also said angrily, "Your Majesty, people have bullied you, why are you so indifferent?"

I, Shao Yuan, said innocently, "What are you thinking? I only offered to treat you to a meal, not a drink. If someone spends their own money to buy a drink, what does it have to do with me?"

When he said this, everyone in the private room was stunned.
