Chapter 73 A Meal That Costs You Money
Little Taotie hasn't eaten delicious food for several days. Without delicious food to curb her appetite, no matter how much she eats, she never feels full. Her stomach is like a bottomless pit.
She suddenly missed Xue Qi's cooking, but she kept in mind the important task Xue Qi had given her.
If she hadn't remembered Xue Qi, she would have eaten this agent Wang Yue right now!
The feeling of not having enough to eat is so painful!
As Xiao Taotie's direct manager, Wang Yue had no choice but to buy her 100 buckets of fried chicken out of her own pocket.
She saw the little Taotie finish the fried chicken, but he still looked at her with a wronged look.
Wang Yue couldn't stand it any longer and called her fifth brother again. "Fifth brother, I really can't handle this job anymore. I've already paid for her food out of my own pocket. She's not human, she's a monster! Fifth brother, I'm resigning tomorrow. You don't have to pay me this month's salary. Goodbye!"
After making this phone call, Wang Yue ran away overnight.
Shortly after Wang Yue left, Little Taotie received some biscuits sent by Xue Qi. After eating them carefully, he felt full and a sense of happiness arose spontaneously.
After eating and drinking her fill, she can finally have a good sleep tonight!
The other side.
The fifth brother was entertaining the superiors of Hedgehog Group when he received a call from Wang Yue. He thought she was a lunatic.
After hanging up the phone, he cursed her as a "crazy bitch" with great disgust.
At the dinner table were some leaders within Hedgehog.
A branch general manager asked him, "Old Five, what's going on? Are the people below you ignorant? They're making calls at a time like this, without even considering the occasion! Do you know how to respect the boss?"
Fifth Brother said, "Oh, who says she isn't?! This Wang Yue is the agent for our company's newly signed big eater, Taoti. She called me a while ago and said that girl is a big eater, she can eat a whole truckload of meat in one meal and still not feel full. This time she's even more exaggerated, saying she's going to bankrupt the company. She's crazy. I think she's having epilepsy! Oh no, even someone with epilepsy wouldn't say such things!"
Everyone here today is a core member of Hedgehog, and at the dinner table, none of them has clean hands.
Some forced women into prostitution, some forced families to break up and even cause families to commit suicide...
In short, Hedgehog's predecessor was a violent debt collection company. As China's current regulations became increasingly strict, they were forced to change their appearance and become a blood-sucking capitalist that seemed to be "helping others" but actually exploited debtors.
Tang Lei, the vice president of the Hedgehog Group, had been drinking quite a bit. He said drunkenly, "Old Five, I heard that this new glutton you just signed is quite pretty and seems quite young. If she's a rookie, then call her over and let's play together. Aren't you hungry? Then come here and eat your fill! A feast for all the gluttons!"
It was no secret among the people at their table that Tang Lei liked young girls.
Two years ago, in order to get a young girl, he tricked a high school girl into having plastic surgery and taking out a loan.
The little girl had a successful first plastic surgery, and then she had a second and third one.
In order to pay off her debt, she had no choice but to obey Tang Lei, the lsp, and let him take advantage of her.
After that, the little girl made one mistake after another and embarked on the road of no return of plastic surgery, and finally died on the operating table.
The little girl's parents only knew that their daughter was hopeless and addicted to plastic surgery, but they had no idea that someone had tricked her into going down this path.
Tang Lei killed a girl, but got away with it cleanly.
In the past few years, Tang Lei has indirectly harmed many girls, and no one he has taken a fancy to has a good ending.
The fifth brother immediately understood what he meant and chuckled, "Boss Tang, you're right, that little girl named Taoti, although she's a little young, is really pretty. Her little face is chubby and full of collagen. Just looking at her makes me want to pinch her."
As the fifth brother spoke, he showed him the photo of Taotie.
Tang Lei took a puff of his cigar and immediately said, "Call her over quickly. How can we have a dinner without a girl?"
The fifth brother immediately said, "Okay, Mr. Tang, that's it."
…
Little Taotie had already fallen asleep when he received the call from his fifth brother.
But when she heard that Fifth Brother wanted to take her to eat, her eyes sparkled instantly. She immediately sat up from the bed and said excitedly, "I'll go right away! Fifth Brother, wait for me!"
Fifth Brother was on speakerphone, and everyone could hear Taotie's excited voice.
"Fifth brother is still the best. I'm starving. Sister Wang Yue won't give me anything to eat. I'm starving to death."
The fifth brother immediately said, "This Wang Yue only knows how to abuse our little girl. Don't be afraid, the fifth brother has you covered. Whatever you want to eat, the fifth brother will buy it for you!"
Taotie's voice was sweet and crisp: "Thank you, Fifth Brother!"
After the call was hung up, the men at the table laughed obscenely and said jokingly:
"This little girl is a bit simple, interesting."
"I'm telling you old wolves, when the little girl comes, be careful and don't scare her. At least wait until she's drunk, then..."
"This little girl is pretty good. In my opinion, the old wolves who are interested should not leave tonight. Hehe."
"Don't compete with Mr. Tang for her! Mr. Tang finally likes a little girl, how can he wait so long?"
"Hahaha, okay, we definitely won't compete with Mr. Tang! We'll all line up behind Mr. Tang tonight!"
"Old Five, is this girl trustworthy? Don't call the police after this. Excuse me, do you have any evidence?"
Lao Wu took a sip of his wine and replied, "Hey, it's the same old routine. Use some medicine. That girl has some mental problems, her intelligence can't keep up. Once the medicine takes effect, she won't know what happened the next morning. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Tang Lei bit his cigar, patted his beer belly and said, "Don't let anything go wrong. I don't want to be like a corpse. I want to be able to move."
Lao Wu: "I understand, I understand. Don't worry, Mr. Tang, I'll take care of the quantity!"
What surprised the men was that less than ten minutes after they made the call, the girl appeared at the door.
The men at the dinner table smiled at each other, and then pretended to be upright elders.
The fifth brother stood up and welcomed the little gluttonous girl over: "Taoti, come, sit next to the fifth brother."
Little Taotie sat down next to him, and the fifth brother waved to the waiter to hand over the menu.
The fifth brother said, "Order whatever you want. Today is my treat. Hehe."
The little glutton blinked his big eyes and asked him, "Fifth brother, is this really possible? I've already eaten Sister Wang Yue away, you won't run away too, will you? You're the boss, if you run away, I'll make you pay 500 million in compensation!"
Fifth Brother: "Girl, is Fifth Brother that kind of person? If Wang Yue withholds food from you, would Fifth Brother do that? Just order whatever you want."
The waitress had just been serving in the private room and heard several men's obscene remarks, but she didn't dare tell Taotie.
These men have strong backgrounds and influence in the underworld, so she dare not provoke them.
She looked at the little Taotie with sympathy and handed him the menu.
Little Taotie took the menu from the waiter, glanced at it and said, "I want everything on the menu! Please, sister, help me order!"
The waitress was shocked. "All? All? There are over 260 dishes here!"
Little Taotie: "Yeah. I want them all. And if you don't have a portion, I'll give you ten more!"
Waitress: “Wha…what?”
She was stunned for a moment and no longer felt sorry for the little girl.
This girl is going to bankrupt these bosses!
The fifth brother just thought Taotie was stupid and didn't think she could finish it, so he said to the waiter, "Go ahead and serve them one by one. When she's finished, you can serve them later."
Before the new dishes were served, Taotie had already picked up his chopsticks and started eating the remaining food on the table.
She ate with big mouthfuls, worthy of being a food blogger, she could make a plate of cold ingredients feel like a feast.
Everyone present was full, but when they saw Taotie eating so happily, they suddenly wanted to eat again.
The girl ate with relish. No matter what the fifth brother handed her, she ate it in one bite. She was so naive to the extreme.
The more she did this, the more excited these greasy men present became.
Tang Lei winked at his fifth brother, signaling him to quickly proceed with the next plan.
The fifth brother understood and handed a bottle of Moutai to Taotie: "Taoti, don't just eat. Come, try this wine of my fifth brother's. It's very expensive. You haven't had it before, right?"
Little Taotie took the Moutai.
The fifth brother was about to get her a cup of Moutai, but he saw the little girl tilt her head back and pour the liquor into her mouth.
The mouth of the Moutai bottle is small, so the flow rate when pouring is not very fast. It took the little Taotie a long time to finish the whole bottle.
The men at the dinner table were stunned, thinking that this girl was extremely stupid.
Can this be drunk in one gulp?
The fifth brother was stunned.
While the men were shocked, the waiter started serving new dishes. The little glutton ate very quickly, his stomach was like a bottomless pit.
At first, the fifth brother poured her wine and served her food, but later on, he was just stunned.
The little glutton ate up sixty dishes from six tables and drank two boxes of high-value Maotai.
The men at the table had all drunk quite a bit of wine. They stared at the scene in amazement, but they didn't see any logical problem at all.
Several men, led by Tang Lei, even applauded and cheered.
The waitress was terrified. She looked at Taotie as if she had seen a ghost, and even saw a fleshy tail sticking out from her skirt... It looked a bit like a crocodile's tail, but even cuter.
The waitress screamed "Ah" in fear, dropped the tray and ran out.
The restaurant manager did not take the waitress's reaction seriously. He thought it was good enough that she could serve that table without running away crying.
The waitress ran up to the manager and pointed inside, saying, "Manager, there are... there are ghosts! There are monsters!"
The manager was not surprised by her reaction. The people at that table had forced the waiter to inhale strange things in the private room before, which would cause temporary hallucinations.
This is a high-end private restaurant, catering to high-end customers. Their staff wouldn't dare offend such customers. If a staff member was wronged, their manager would come out to talk to the customer, demand some compensation, and the matter would be over.
The manager patted the waitress on the shoulder and whispered, "Go and rest first. As for the compensation, I'll help you get it. Don't tell anyone about what happened in the store. It won't do you any good."
The waitress nodded and said, "I don't care whether there is compensation or not, but Manager, I am worried that—"
The manager interrupted her, fearing she might reveal something private about the client. "Okay, don't worry about that. Go get some rest. Remember, in this private room, whatever you see, you have to keep it to yourself, okay?"
The waitress took note silently. The scene just now completely overturned her worldview.
However, it is not easy to find such a high-paying job with no technical requirements. She can only keep her manager's words in mind and cherish it.
The manager remembered something and asked her, "How many dishes have the customers ordered?"
The waitress said, "They've already ordered two hundred dishes, and the wine is worth millions. The dishes they ordered tonight, which are non-refundable, must have cost over twenty million in total..."
The prices of this private restaurant are not cheap, and the dishes that gourmets consume the most are all expensive.
In addition, she opened a lot of good wines, so the consumption in this private room tonight would start at at least 20 million.
The manager was delighted. "That's right! You'll earn quite a bit of commission just from collecting it tonight. So, you better keep your mouth shut and protect the people who feed and clothe you. Got it?"
The waitress nodded: "Oh."
——Even though I encountered a monster, at least I made a lot of money.
Even though everything she saw was outrageous and illogical, she still chose to keep her mouth shut.
In the private room.
As the plates piled up more and more and the bottles of wine piled higher and higher, the drunk and lewd men became more and more excited.
They clapped and cheered:
“Come on, come on!”
"Eat! Keep eating! Here's some good wine for you to drink!"
"That's strange, why aren't you drunk yet? It doesn't matter, just keep eating! Get drunker, get drunker!"
"Waiter! More wine! More food!"
Most of the space in the private room, which was over 100 square meters, was occupied by plates and wine bottles. When the waiters came in to deliver the food and wine, they were stunned by the scene inside.
There was almost no food left, the plates were licked clean, and not a single bottle of the expensive wine was left!
How is this done?
The restaurant's century-old wine cellar was nearly empty. Upon hearing the news, the owner came over and asked the manager through the door, "What's going on in there? Has anyone been inside to check?"
The manager replied, "I'm not sure about the specifics. The waiters who came in and out said they ate all the food that was brought in, and they ate it all up. And they drank all the expensive wine, not a drop left. No one knows how they did it."
The boss was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't worry about how they did it. Just get the bill done. How much has the food and drinks cost so far?"
The manager did a rough calculation and said, "The wine cellar is practically empty. All the wine, both good and subpar, is gone. The wine alone is worth 60 million. They've even opened several bottles of high-priced wine that were auctioned off. Rumor has it, one girl drank the whole thing in one gulp."
The boss nodded, glanced at the time on his wrist, and asked, "Tell the kitchen to stop sending food. In half an hour, go in and tell them we're closing for the night. Make sure they pay for the food and drinks. Got it?"
The manager nodded: "I understand."
He is extremely happy and this year is definitely the peak of his career.
After all, spending 60 to 70 million yuan in one night was something he would never dare to think about in his lifetime. The commission from tonight's drinks alone would probably be enough for him to eat and drink for free.
…
Around two o'clock in the morning, the manager pushed the door open and asked the waiters to give the men sobering soup.
The little glutton was still eating. When the manager told her that the restaurant was closing for the night, the little girl showed a hint of reluctance on her face: "Okay, I'm barely full."
In fact, she didn't eat much tonight, mainly because she drank too much.
These drinks made her body feel smooth and comfortable, allowing her to experience the joy beyond eating food!
After waiting for another forty minutes, the little glutton ate more than forty fruit plates.
At this time, the men in the private room began to wake up slowly, and most of the drunkenness had dissipated.
The manager handed the bill to Brother Wu and said, "Brother Wu, this is your bill for tonight. Please settle it tonight. Thank you for your cooperation."
Fifth Brother thought he had spent six million tonight, but when he swiped his card and it said the balance was insufficient, he realized it was not six million, but more than sixty million!
He misread the decimal point!
The fifth brother frowned and roared, "You are extorting me! You want to die now? Sixty million for a meal? Do you think we are gluttons?"
The manager pointed behind him and said, "The food is secondary. Our boss almost waived the food charge and only charged the cost price. The drinks behind you are the biggest expense. You should be familiar with the drinks. They are clearly marked with prices. Why don't you go and check and confirm it?"
The fifth brother turned around and was shocked to see the room full of plates and empty wine bottles.
He said in shock: "This... How is this possible! How could we possibly eat so much? It must be you—"
As soon as the fifth brother said this, a picture suddenly flashed through his mind. It was the picture of him constantly handing wine and food to the little Taotie.
His mind was blacked out, and these memories didn't seem real. He even felt that these were scenes that only appeared in dreams!
The fifth brother immediately shook his head and said, "Call your boss over! You are blackmailing me!"
The other men also woke up.
Looking at the room full of empty plates and bottles of wine, he was also stunned.
Because of the effect of alcohol, their minds were not very clear just now. Now that they were sober, they realized that something was wrong with the girl.
How can she eat so much? Is she a normal person? Or is she a ghost?
The girl wiped her mouth and glanced at the men in the private room: "Why are you looking at me? But you let me eat whatever I want, and you have to pay for it. I don't care."
The manager knew that the fifth brother might default on his debt, so he took out the food delivery surveillance.
The food delivery surveillance is strictly confidential, but once a financial dispute arises, they must produce it.
After watching the food delivery surveillance, the fifth brother had no way to prove anything, but he couldn't come up with so much money at once.
There were eight men in the group, and almost each of them contributed eight or nine million.
When they came out of the private restaurant, Xiao Taotie saw that all the men treated her as if she were a ghost.
Sitting in Fifth Brother's car was Hedgehog's vice president Tang Lei. The two of them were still in shock when they thought of the food in the private room.
Tang Lei exclaimed, "Is that girl really a human? That's terrifying. Could she be a monster? Or some genetically mutated new human? How could a normal person eat so much?"
Fifth Brother also realized that the girl was not their company's mascot at all, but a bomb!
After trying hard to organize his thoughts, the fifth brother said, "Brother Lei, don't you think this is too ridiculous? That girl, could she really be a ghost? Is she here to take revenge on you and me? After all, you were a bitch back then and killed a lot of girls..."
Tang Lei frowned: "Bullshit! You signed the contract, so why didn't I come to see you?"
The fifth brother suppressed his fear and said, "Brother Lei, there's no point in arguing about this now. The most urgent thing is to find a master to identify whether that girl is really an evil ghost. If she is really a ghost, then we must find a way to kill her! It doesn't matter whether she is human or ghost, as long as she enters our hedgehog, she will never get any benefits out of it..."
Indeed, even gods and ghosts are not afraid of extremely treacherous and evil people, and they have no fear in their hearts.
The little Taotie changed back to its original form, hid in the trunk of their car, and heard everything they said.
She had a bug on her, and the conversation between the two men was simultaneously sent to Xue Qi's computer.
Xue Qi received the recording of the conversation, sorted it out, and forwarded it to Cao Feng.
She said, "Butler Cao, Little Taotie went to the dinner party tonight, and it's clear to the naked eye that the filthy things this hedgehog has done are becoming increasingly public. In the recording, the man talking to Fifth Brother is called Tang Lei, and he's murdered many girls. Do you have any way of finding the background of the girls he murdered?"
Cao Feng received the recording, listened to it carefully, and then frowned and said, "I'll get someone to check it out right away."
But in just one day, Cao Feng found all the information about Tang Lei.
The next afternoon, Cao Feng found Xue Qi and explained:
"This Tang Lei is the second-in-command of the entire Hedgehog system. He has investments in many entertainment companies, so their resources in the industry are particularly vast. This Tang Lei has indirectly killed many young girls. I have compiled the information of these young girls. Take a look."
Xue Qi's hair stood on end after seeing this. "The youngest girl is only 14 years old. How could this beast have the heart to do this to her? The wound on the hedgehog is getting bigger and bigger. None of these guilty people will be able to escape."
Cao Feng also sent a message saying, "All of Hedgehog Entertainment's anchors are off the air today. It's said that the company was robbed, and all the cash and electronic bank deposits in their accounts have disappeared. Most importantly, they're said to owe a lot of foreign debt to food companies, and debt collectors have arrived at the company's door."
Xue Qi: "Hey, that's strange. How could their company's finances disappear?"
Cao Feng shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Based on the information provided by Cao Feng, Xue Qi contacted the girls' families.
When the girls were alive, their families thought they had gone astray and finally sunk completely into it, and were beyond redemption.
However, they only found out today that their daughter had been deceived and tricked into taking out a plastic surgery loan.
There is a villain behind the scenes who maliciously guides these young girls who are inexperienced in the world in order to get their daughter.
This led them into the abyss, ruining their youth and their entire lives.
After obtaining consent from the girls' families, Xue Qi posted the recording of his fifth brother and Tang Lei on the Internet.
The family members recorded a video and waited for the right time to post it together to accuse Tang Lei.
The topic of Hedgehog Group setting up scams and luring people into the abyss of sin has become a hot topic.
The marketing account exposed the Hedgehog Group's operating system and released recordings and trivial videos provided by Xue Qi.
These are enough to prove the filth behind the Hedgehog Group.
Not only that, when the topic of "Hedgehog Group" was at its hottest, "An Lele", who had disappeared for several days, also came out to live broadcast and directly criticized the Hedgehog Group.
She tearfully complained about how Hedgehog had exploited her, how she had been scammed, and how she was in debt of hundreds of thousands of dollars, so she came to Hedgehog to work.
Netizens were stunned when they heard this, and they all thought it was fake and slanderous:
"This... a tall tree attracts the wind. Is this a lie? How could Hedgehog Group be such a company? If it were real, it would have been shut down long ago, right?"
"This Tang Lei is Hedgehog's vice president, and he often participates in activities to support impoverished girls in the mountains. If he really is that kind of person, it's terrifying!"
"What the hell? This melon is too big for me to eat. I'll wait for another wave!"
"To be honest, I went to interview at Hedgehog Entertainment. Their agent was really weird. They were trying to pimp me out, saying that if I had plastic surgery, I'd definitely become the company's top star. I said I didn't have the money, and they started pushing me into taking out a plastic surgery loan. I don't know the rest of the story, but I think the company's behavior of asking me to take out a plastic surgery loan is really, really hard to describe."
"I'm afraid to take action. I'm waiting for the police report! This is too big, involving so many people... It seems legal, but there's no evidence to incriminate them after all these years. The key point is, even the girls' families just found out they were misled and deceived. This is outrageous... Where can I get any evidence?"
-
Playing the recording is just the first step in Xue Qi's plan.
She wanted to use these fragmentary recordings to stir up public opinion online, so that the general public would supervise Hedgehog Entertainment.
Just as Xue Qi stood up and prepared to leave the study, a small Pixiu jumped in from the window.
Its four chubby paws landed on the desk and it paced back and forth on Xue Qi's desk.
The little Pixiu sneezed at Xue Qi: "Aqiu——"
This sneeze caused its stomach to churn and it opened its mouth to vomit.
Xue Qi was so scared that she took a step back, fearing that the little Pixiu would vomit all over her.
However, unexpectedly, what the little Pixiu vomited out was not undigested disgusting things, but gold bars, gold chains and a pile of red money!
The little Pixiu spit out more and more money, and even spit out three small mountains in front of Xue Qi.
A mountain of banknotes.
A piece of gold and silver jewelry.
The other is the US dollar.
This Pixiu looks very similar to Taotie, but at first glance, it is smaller and rounder than Taotie.
The little Pixiu ran towards Xue Qi as if asking for credit, rubbed against her calf, and made an "Awoo awoo" sound from its mouth.
Xue Qi looked down and saw the subtitles above the little Pixiu's head:
[Virus Pixiu, gluttonous. Function: Can eat any human assets, including electronic account balances, cash, gold, silver, and jewelry.]
[If you can't control your desire to eat money, you can suppress it with delicious food! ]
Xue Qi remembered something and asked, "You came from Hedgehog Entertainment? Have you met your sister?"
The little Pixiu blinked its big eyes, rolled up a gold bar with its tail, and handed it to Xue Qi:
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
Xue Qi looked at the golden notes and money with eyes full of love.
——Who wouldn’t love such a cute, rich, and money-loving kid?
