Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Spending Day 11
Maybe it was because the scene was too noisy and the staff didn't hear what she said, or maybe it was because he didn't believe Liu Yue and still thought she was a fan. In any case, he didn't stop pulling her.
"Let go! Don't touch me!"
"Let her go."
Liu Yue and the man next to her spoke at the same time, and the latter took a step forward.
He was very tall, and the staff member who had been holding her tightly unconsciously let go of his hand.
He said: "The lady and I came in early, you have no right to drive us away. If you don't want to take the elevator with others, then wait for the next one."
"If you keep pulling like this, I'm going to call the police."
"That's right." Liu Yue swung her arms and immediately continued, "So what if she's a celebrity? If you have the guts, why don't you ask the hotel to open a separate elevator just for you? Why are you dragging me out? Apologize to me!"
The man said, "You really should apologize to this lady. Your behavior just now was very rude."
He said this to Xie Zhengyang, but before he could say anything, the fans next to him were unhappy.
"It's not Yangyang who's pulling her strings," "Let's go find whoever's pulling the strings," "Then how would we know if you're fans?", "It's such a small matter, why are you pretending?"...
Xie Zhengyang, who was protected by the staff, said nothing, and no one apologized to her. The person who had just dragged her simply exited the elevator and pressed the close door button from outside.
When the elevator door closed, the matter was dealt with calmly.
The more Liu Yue thought about it, the angrier she became. She had suffered for no reason, and was even treated sarcasticly by Xie Zhengyang's fans, who acted as if she was making a big deal out of nothing. However, it was clearly his fault that the incident started!
She was so angry that her liver ached, and when her eyes swept over the man next to her, she suddenly became even angrier.
Perhaps her emotions were recognized by the other party, and the man asked: "I just helped you, why are you more annoyed when you look at me? Is it because I didn't help you get an apology?"
"Ah, no, no."
Liu Yue hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, I forgot to thank you. I'm so grateful for your help explaining it to me. I just wondered...why he doesn't listen to me when I speak, but becomes timid when you speak."
"Also, it was me who was dragged, but when that person hesitated about whether to apologize, he looked at you first. This makes me even more angry."
"Of course I'm not targeting you..." Liu Yue scratched the bag with her fingers a few times, "Thank you so much for helping me just now. How about I treat you to dinner tomorrow?"
The man looked at her deeply, and Liu Yue swallowed unconsciously.
...Although she was just being polite, she would be willing to treat him if he agreed, so could you please stop looking at her like that?
"I'd love to have lunch with you tomorrow," he said, "but I'm not in the habit of letting ladies pay, so I'll treat you."
Liu Yue: ...
Although she was very grateful for his help just now, how could she put it...
"I'll do it," she said. "If I say it's my treat, then it's mine. I don't care what you think, only what I feel."
Ordinary words may not work, and magic is still needed to fight magic.
Liu Yue opened her phone and said, "Scan me and I'll book a restaurant for tomorrow and send it to you. Lunch, right? No problem."
The other party seemed to want to say something, but Liu Yue spoke first: "Respecting a woman means respecting her wishes and choices. You should understand this, Mr. Gentleman?"
He paused, then nodded: "Okay, you're right."
The elevator door opened and Liu Yue arrived first.
She accepted his friend request and waved goodbye to him.
The person’s verification message was “apollo”, and Liu Yue replied with “crescent”, which is her English name.
On the other side, Mr. Apollo smiled at his phone and added a note to Liu Yue: New Moon.
How should I put it, this English name is quite suitable for her.
Not long after Liu Yue arrived at the room, she received a call from the hotel front desk.
The front desk expressed sincere apologies to her, expressing deep regret for the inconvenience caused to her by the hotel's improper management, and stated that they could waive Liu Yue's accommodation fees.
Want a refund? No, she spent the system's money!
Liu Yue was about to refuse when the system interrupted her, "We have determined that a refund is allowed in this situation. This will not affect the cashback the host has already received. You only need to make up for the expenses within 24 hours."
Liu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the system was still very flexible and capable of adaptation.
Come to think of it, if the system only costs money and doesn't care about the quality, then you will be taken advantage of.
Since the system had no objection, Liu Yue agreed to the refund proposed by the hotel.
That made her feel a little better, but not much, and her arm still hurt.
Liu Yue muttered a few complaints. It was already past ten o'clock. She clicked to sign in and the turntable started.
Another ten thousand, plus the more than five thousand refunded by the hotel, the budget is more than enough to treat Brother Strong to dinner tomorrow.
——She didn't give him a nickname on purpose, it was just that the word popped up in her mind before Apollo.
Considering his tone, the place where he entertains guests has to be high-end and classy.
Liu Yue looked up the information and found that there are two Michelin three-star restaurants in Macau. She hesitated for a while between French cuisine and Cantonese cuisine and asked Sang Yu for his opinion.
Sang Yu’s answer was: “Let’s go to whichever room we can get.”
Oh, yes, I almost forgot that it’s hard to reserve a table at these three-star Michelin restaurants, and it’s not necessarily her choice.
Liu Yue slapped her head. She still had no experience in dining in high-end restaurants.
At Sang Yu's reminder, she called the hotel front desk and asked them to help her make a reservation. In the end, she booked Yulongxuan, a Cantonese restaurant.
She sent the time and place to Brother Strong, and received a response and good night from him.
Liu Yue replied with a good night emoticon and soon fell asleep on the luxurious big bed in the hotel.
**
Liu Yue and the other party had agreed to meet at 12 noon. She arrived at the restaurant at 11:40, and sure enough, Brother Strong had not arrived yet.
The waiter poured her some water and she reminded him, "I'm the only one who can pay for this table. If my guests come to pay during the meal, you must not agree to it."
I owed someone a favor last night, so it's best to pay it back today. Liu Yue isn't stingy when it comes to things that can be solved with (system) money.
The waiter carefully noted her needs and asked her if she had any dietary restrictions.
Liu Yue said that she doesn’t eat chopped green onions, and as for the guest’s... let’s ask again when he arrives.
At 11:50, Brother Strong arrived.
He came and brought a bouquet for Liu Yue. The blue and white bouquet looked very gentle, and the transparent satin added a touch of dreaminess.
"You look very beautiful today." He said, "Flowers are given to beautiful women. I hope they can bring you a good mood."
"Thanks."
Liu Yue took the bouquet and asked curiously, "Is this how you usually socialize?"
"Occasionally." He smiled. "Not everyone is worth my attention."
Haha, Liu Yue thought, I wouldn’t believe you.
They didn't even know each other's names at the moment, so what were they still doing? She had to finish her meal and leave quickly; she had to get back to school to finish her work today.
Liu Yue also just found out that she was the only one in the group who had not submitted the first draft of the paper.
Her original plan was to submit it before the winter break, but now she has to hurry up in order not to appear too behind.
However, Yulongxuan's products are really good.
Dim sum is only available during lunch, so lunch orders are harder to come by than dinner. Liu Yue tried the Jade Dragon Dumplings, which was her first time eating food covered in gold foil.
The gold leaf had no flavor, and the emerald green shrimp dumpling wrapper was indistinguishable, but the blue lobster meat inside was firm, springy, and had a wonderful texture.
The abalone steamed buns with vegetable juice are also good. Liu Yue originally thought that the taste of this dish would be different for each person, but she didn’t expect that the meat filling and vegetable juice blended well together, and it tasted soft, tender, fresh and sweet. However, the abalone was indeed a bit redundant, and there was room for improvement.
She wanted to especially praise the black fish roe crispy suckling pig. The restaurant's treatment of animal skin was the best that Liu Yue had ever eaten. The shiny and crispy skin made a crackling sound when bitten, and it was not greasy at all. She couldn't help but order an extra dish with crispy skin.
Liu Yue also had the fruit wood barbecued pork. Originally, dishes with fruit wood had to be ordered in advance, but she didn’t know what Brother Strong said to the waiter, but she ate it anyway.
Barbecued pork is a food that cannot possibly be unpalatable. The aroma of fruit wood permeates it, and it is coated with caramel-colored honey. It is an ultimate enjoyment when you put it in your mouth.
Strong went to the bathroom in the middle of the trip, and when he came back there was a slightly helpless smile on his face.
"I already said it's my treat." Liu Yue snorted, "You don't think this is romantic or gentlemanly, do you?"
"Well, I should apologize to you." He raised his glass. "My name is Jiang Qinian, nice to meet you."
Liu Yue raised her eyebrows. Why was he suddenly willing to tell her real name?
But... Liu Yue just clinked glasses with him and had no intention of introducing herself.
——What's wrong with him saying the name? She has no obligation to exchange it with him.
Jiang Qinian didn't seem to care about this. He wanted to invite Liu Yue to go to the yacht tonight to enjoy the sea breeze and watch the band performance.
It sounded great, but Liu Yue declined as she was about to return to the mainland.
"Well, that's a shame." Jiang Qinian crossed his hands on the table. "I'm currently living in Shenzhen. You can come visit me when you're free. But while we're in Shenzhen, I should play the role of host."
Liu Yue still smiled politely. Who isn't from Shenzhen?
She paid the bill and took the bouquet away. As they left the restaurant, she and Jiang Qinian walked separately, leaving him to watch her leave.
The bill for this lunch was 2,419.6 yuan, which is still a long way from today's spending goal.
Liu Yue had already bought too much yesterday and couldn't carry any more. So she didn't continue shopping in Macau. Instead, she browsed Taobao on the boat back to Shenzhen to see what she could buy.
She has already bought clothes and bags, so why not buy herself a few more pairs of shoes.
But I have too many shoes in my dorm room. My wardrobe is also very limited, and many clothes can’t be folded and must be hung...
Liu Yue sighed. She was seriously thinking about finding a house to move out as soon as possible, even if it wasn't buying, renting would be fine.
Living in the dormitory has a great impact on her spending plans, and it is not good to be seen by others buying things crazily all the time.
The recommendations Liu Yue saw were all worth a few hundred yuan, and the most expensive pair of sneakers was only around 1,000 yuan. If she bought more than a dozen pairs, she would have no place to put them in the dormitory.
"Don't you have any more expensive shoes?" she said to her phone. "Let's buy something worth tens of thousands to see how good we are."
Big data seemed to really hear what she said. When she refreshed the page, it showed Balenciaga shoes.
3XL, gray, 11,400 yuan, and it's exactly her size.
"good!"
Liu Yue happily added it to the shopping cart, and then paid for the two pairs of shoes she had just liked together, and today's spending task was completed.
Get a cashback... 5,000 yuan, that's pretty good!
Liu Yue returned to the dormitory happily, but her roommate Sang Yu looked a little solemn.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her like this, Liu Yue felt a little nervous.
Sang Yu thought for a moment, then organized her words and told her, "Qin Yi saw the circle of friends you posted in Macau yesterday and thought Huiyi took you to the Starlight Awards. She thinks you didn't speak up for her before because you wanted to go yourself."
"and……"
She paused for a moment, then said, "The video of Xie Zhengyang's staff dragging you has become a hot topic, and netizens are scolding him, but Qin Yi feels...she feels that it was you who caused her idol to be cyberbullied."
Liu Yue: ???
When a question mark appears above her head, it’s not that there’s something wrong with her, but that she thinks there’s something wrong with others.
What is going on? Is the thing on Qin Yi's neck just a decoration?
