Chapter 846 Celebrating Victory
Shen Xing won the preliminary round of the college league. That night, Shen Ci took all the family members to "Shui Yun Jian" to celebrate his younger brother's victory.
Because of her special status, Shen Li discreetly went upstairs alone via the elevator in the underground parking garage.
The others entered through the hall as usual, but to their surprise, Shen Xing was recognized as soon as he appeared.
"Shen Xing!"
A boy of similar age excitedly ran up to him, looking at Shen Xing with great enthusiasm: "You're Shen Xing, right?"
Shen Xing was startled and nodded somewhat awkwardly: "Yes, it's me."
The boy's eyes lit up: "I watched your match today, it was so exciting! I remembered you from last year's match! I didn't expect your team to be even stronger this year!"
They even remember last year's match; they're clearly a long-time viewer.
Shen Xing snapped out of her daze and smiled as she thanked him, "Thank you."
Can I take a picture with you?
"sure."
As Shen Ci and the others watched their younger brother take photos with fans, they couldn't help but smile. Before leaving, the boy didn't forget to cheer Shen Xing on, saying that he was optimistic about him winning the championship this year.
After everyone left, Shen Ci stepped forward and put her arm around her younger brother's shoulder, teasingly saying, "Not bad, now fans recognize you when you go out. You're starting to act like a professional celebrity."
Shen Xing felt a little smug, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "I also want to keep a low profile, but my strength won't allow it!"
“The biggest beneficiary isn’t actually Xingxing.” Shen Yingying couldn’t help but speak up at this moment: “You have no idea what’s going on at your mom’s company today. Not only are the app orders exploding, but there are also a lot of people taking photos and checking in outside the company, just like a tourist attraction.”
"Auntie, hurry up and make a life-size cardboard cutout of the Star Guardians to put at the door tomorrow. Since it's so popular, let's jump on the bandwagon."
The popularity of this advertisement far exceeded Shen Ci's expectations, but since the response was so enthusiastic, they had to take advantage of this opportunity, otherwise it would be a waste.
Shen Yingying nodded quickly: "That's a good idea."
"Aci!"
At this moment, General Manager Julie came to greet them personally. Julie was no stranger to Shen Ci's family members, so she greeted them one by one: "The private rooms are all ready. A new batch of high-end French red wine has arrived. Would you like to try some today?"
Shen Ci raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Okay."
As they were talking, they had already entered the elevator. Julie couldn't help but say, "It's good that you told me in advance. All the private rooms in the Chinese restaurant are booked today. Business has been getting better and better lately. I don't know why."
Shen Ci laughed upon hearing this: "I guess it's because 'Yunshang Tiangong' is currently undergoing renovations, which has pushed another wave of customers here."
Remembering the task I had given Julie before, I couldn't help but ask, "Sister Julie, have you finished renovating and repairing some details here?"
"It's all set up now. You haven't been here for a while. Would you like to check it out later?"
"No need for that, I trust you to handle things."
Inside the private room, Shen Li was already seated, and the room immediately became lively as soon as everyone arrived.
Since they were all family members, there weren't many restrictions, except for Xiaomin, who was still subconsciously a little reserved.
"Sister Julie, we don't need a menu, you can arrange it for us."
"Alright, you can sit down and chat first. I'll go and make the arrangements."
Upon seeing her second sister, Shen Xing couldn't help but cling to her: "Sis, did you watch my match today?"
"I saw it, I saw it secretly," Shen Li said. "I saw it secretly during a team meeting at the company today."
Shen Li gave a thumbs up and said, "You're really amazing. Your female teammates are also really amazing. I saw that you guys are all the trending topics today. You've overshadowed a lot of other celebrities."
"It would be great if you could go and see it in person."
Shen Ci overheard this and immediately said, "What's the problem? We'll all be there to cheer you on for the second round."
"Really?" Shen Xing's eyes widened with excitement, then she turned to Shen Li: "Sister, are you coming too?"
Shen Li thought for a moment and said, "If I can make it free then, I'll go. If not, I'll wait for you in the finals. If you make it to the finals, I'll definitely be there to cheer you on."
"Then you'd better prepare in advance, I'm definitely going to make it to the finals!"
"Okay, good luck then! I'll come to the event and unfurl a huge banner for you!"
The restaurants in "Shuiyunjian" frequently update their menus, introducing many seasonal dishes based on the availability of ingredients, ensuring a constantly fresh experience.
Many of the dishes Julie arranged today were ones that even Shen Ci had never seen or eaten before.
"Xiaomin, eat whatever you like, don't be shy." Shen Ci even took special care of Shen Min.
Shen Min nodded gently, holding her chopsticks, her eyes fixed on the automatically rotating table in front of her. The dishes on it were so exquisite and beautiful, even more so than those on TV.
Halfway through the meal, the cake arranged by Shen Ci was brought in. It was specially arranged in advance to celebrate her younger brother's birthday, and the atmosphere in the private room instantly became more lively.
Meanwhile, in the other private room...
With a loud bang, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, and a slender figure stumbled out, nearly bumping into a passing waiter.
"Excuse me……"
Wang Ziyu's voice was somewhat flustered. She hurriedly said an apology and rushed towards the restroom without looking back.
"vomit--"
She leaned against the sink, her stomach churning, and vomited up everything she had just eaten. She quickly turned on the tap to rinse her mouth and then picked up a bottle of disposable mouthwash to rinse it repeatedly.
After a bout of violent vomiting, my muddled mind finally cleared up a bit, and the burning pain in my stomach lessened considerably, allowing me to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ziyu? Ziyu?"
An urgent call came from the doorway. Wang Ziyu's body stiffened abruptly. Suppressing her discomfort, she replied in a low voice, "I'm inside. My stomach is a little upset."
"Are you alright? Are you alright?" Uncle Li Jianli's voice was tinged with feigned concern. But as soon as he finished speaking, his tone shifted to one of unquestionable firmness, "If you're alright, hurry up and wipe your mouth and come out. Don't keep people waiting too long; it's impolite."
Wang Ziyu wiped the water from the corners of her mouth and hurriedly left the bathroom without daring to delay.
Li Jianli pulled her close, looked her up and down, and asked impatiently, "Where do you feel unwell?"
"I think I drank those drinks too quickly, and my stomach feels really uncomfortable." Wang Ziyu's eyes were red, her gaze was full of pleading, and her voice was choked with sobs. "Uncle, can I stop drinking for a while? I really can't drink anymore."
"That won't do!" Li Jianli's eyes widened, and his tone instantly turned stern. "Do you know who these people are today? They're all influential figures who can bring you opportunities! If you don't treat them well, how will you walk your path in the future?"
He paused, his tone laced with a hint of threat: "You know how much effort I went through to bring you here today, and how many favors I owe you. This is your only chance, so don't be naive."
Wang Ziyu bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.
"If you really can't hold on any longer, go to the bathroom and clear your throat to vomit it all out so you can continue drinking."
