And this acquaintance was none other than Xue Xinyi, who had just confidently stated that they weren't going the same way and wouldn't see each other again in Shanghai.
At that moment, Xue Xinyi was checking in when he inadvertently turned his head and saw Ye Chen and Mo Hongru walking towards him. Xue Xinyi was dumbfounded.
What's going on?!
How did he end up seeing Mo Hongru and Ye Chen at Amanyangyun?!
Could it be that Ye Chen also arranged for Mo Hongru to be here? No way, isn't he a student?!
"Um... Old Mo... We meet again..."
Xue Xinyi spoke awkwardly.
"Hey, isn't this Lao Xue? Looks like you guessed wrong, Lao Xue. We meet again."
Mo Hongru said meaningfully.
Xue Xinyi blushed slightly, too embarrassed to speak.
"Um... Ye Chen, did you also arrange for Lao Mo to stay in a suite at Amanyangyun?"
Not wanting to speak to Mo Hongru any longer, Xue Xinyi turned to Ye Chen.
"no."
Ye Chen shook his head.
Seeing this, Xue Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ye Chen had arranged a regular room for Mo Hongru, unlike the suite his friend had arranged for him.
Xue Xinyi regained some confidence and a sense of superiority.
"My name is Ye Chen. I previously reserved a top-tier ancient house at Amanyangyun."
Ye Chen said to the receptionist.
A top-tier historic mansion?!
In an instant, Xue Xinyi was stunned. Although he had never stayed at Amanyangyun, he had heard from others that it was very difficult to get a room in one of the old houses in Amanyangyun.
The suite his friend arranged for him paled in comparison to the ancient house.
Ye Chen isn't joking, is he?
"Please wait a moment."
The receptionist began making an inquiry.
"Yes, Mr. Ye, the general manager has arranged the No. 6 old house for you."
The receptionist found the information and responded respectfully.
"I'll process your check-in procedures right away."
As she spoke, the receptionist began processing the paperwork.
Beside him, Xue Xinyi stared wide-eyed at everything. The No. 6 old house in Amanyangyun seemed to be among the top-ranked old houses.
Ye Chen actually arranged such a nice place for Mo Hongru?!
Are you kidding me? Isn't he just a student? How does he have such connections and wealth?!
Xue Xinyi couldn't understand it at all.
After completing the check-in procedures, Ye Chen and Mo Hongru walked towards the old house amidst Xue Xinyi's envious gaze.
"So what if they live in a slightly better place than me?"
Xue Xinyi said sourly, as if he had eaten a thousand lemons.
In the evening, Xue Xinyi met with his friend Lao Xu, who was going to introduce him to a very important person that night.
Therefore, Lao Xu specially chose to have dinner at Wangjiang Pavilion, a well-known top restaurant in Shanghai, tonight.
After chatting for a few minutes, the two headed straight for Wangjiang Pavilion.
The important figure that Lao Xu had invited hadn't arrived yet, so the two sat down for the time being without ordering any food.
At this moment, Xue Xinyi was filled with anticipation. How could he not be excited about the opportunity to meet such an important person?
Now that I think about it, even if Mo Hongru was arranged by Ye Chen to stay in the old mansion of Amanyangyun, which was more luxurious than his own suite, it's still a different story.
But that's about it. Besides being a little more comfortable to live in, what else is there?
Could Mo Hongru make connections with even more powerful figures like I have?
Thinking about it this way, I realized that my friends were more capable and I was luckier; Mo Hongru and Ye Chen were far inferior.
Xue Xinyi tried to comfort himself.
Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly noticed that the two figures he didn't want to see also entered Wangjiang Pavilion.
Ye Chen and Mo Hongru have arrived too!!!
"Give me a private room."
Upon arrival, Ye Chen immediately gave orders to the staff.
"Yes, please follow me."
The lead staff member immediately and respectfully invited Ye Chen and Mo Hongru to come over.
Because Xue Xinyi and Lao Xu were sitting not far from the entrance, Lao Xu happened to overhear Ye Chen's conversation with the staff, and he instantly became angry!
Old Xu immediately got up and walked towards the staff. Seeing this, Xue Xinyi followed him.
"What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?!"
As soon as he arrived, Lao Xu questioned the staff with dissatisfaction.
Several staff members looked completely bewildered by the question.
"Sir, I don't understand what you mean?"
"You don't understand what I mean? Bah! I asked you before, didn't you say all the private rooms were already booked?!"
Old Xu angrily rebuked.
Because Wangjiang Pavilion only has four private rooms, they are always in high demand and short supply. Unless you book well in advance, you simply cannot get in.
"Why did you arrange a private room for that kid right away, but not for me?!"
Old Xu got angrier and angrier as he talked.
"Exactly! Are you discriminating against us? How are we inferior to those two from before?!"
Xue Xinyi understood what Lao Xu meant and also rebuked him with great dissatisfaction.
What makes him and Lao Xu inferior to Ye Chen and Mo Hongru?
Why do they get a private room while he has to sit outside? He's not having it!
"Do you know who that gentleman was?"
After learning the reason, the staff member asked with a smile.
"I don't care who he is, just the fact that he has a private room means this is wrong."
Xue Xinyi refuted this.
"That gentleman is the owner of our Wangjiang Pavilion."
Upon hearing what the waiter said, Lao Xu and Xue Xinyi were completely stunned.
Wangjiang Pavilion...the owner...
This identity was something neither Xue Xinyi nor Lao Xu ever expected.
If the person is the owner of Wangjiang Pavilion, then everything makes sense. How could there not be a private room when the owner comes?
Old Xu was speechless, feeling extremely embarrassed.
As for Xue Xinyi, his face was burning with embarrassment. At this moment, he finally realized where he fell short compared to Ye Chen and Mo Hongru.
It's perfectly reasonable that they don't have private rooms. No matter how good they are, they can't compete with other restaurants.
By the way, isn't Ye Chen a student? How come he's also the owner of Wangjiang Pavilion?
Xue Xinyi was completely devastated; he had utterly lost face this time.
Inside the private room, the dishes were served quickly under the arrangement of the staff, and Ye Chen also ordered a bottle of fine wine.
Uncle Mo calls himself the "God of Wine" and even boasts that he can "drink forever" and get Ye Chen drunk.
As they drank, Ye Chen was fine, but Uncle Mo was a little drunk. Ye Chen took the opportunity to tell Uncle Mo about his plan to poach Mo Mengfei.
Uncle Mo was taken aback, but answered Ye Chen without thinking.
