Chapter 11 Chapter 11 A Young Man
Who wants to see him?
Xu Zhixi's ears felt hot and she opened her mouth to retort, but the waiter came in with the dishes, so she had to swallow the words back.
Song Jing smiled and extended his arm back at the right time. After all the waiters had left, he served a bowl of appetizer soup and said gently, "Try it."
Xu Zhixi was already hungry, and when faced with such delicious food, his stomach protested even more.
"Thank you." She picked up the soup spoon, deciding to put it past the adulterer for now.
Canglanzhai is indeed a restaurant that is popular all over the country. Not only are the environment and service impeccable, but every dish is also excellent and very much to Xu Zhixi's liking.
When Xu Zhixi was half full, he belatedly remembered what Song Jing had just said, "As long as you have money, it's fine." He paused while eating and asked, "Did you pay for this private room?"
Song Jing ate his meal leisurely. Seeing that she finally remembered this sentence, his eyebrows raised slightly: "Well, what's wrong?"
Xu Zhixi thought he had misheard, but now that he was sure of the answer, he was stunned: "How much?"
It is so difficult to reserve the VIP room of Canglanzhai. If you buy a reservation from someone else, how much will it cost?
I'm afraid it's more expensive than their meal.
"It's okay." Song Jing said calmly, "It just costs a few more VIP room visits."
Is this okay?
His nonchalant tone made Xu Zhixi almost lose her temper. If she had known that Song Jing had bought the reservation from someone else, she would never have agreed to go out for dinner no matter what she said.
Instead of spending so much money, it would be better to take a few more classes and do more exercises at home.
The VIP rooms in Canglanzhai are quite expensive, and the price increases according to the level of luxury. If you buy them from other customers, the price will be several times higher.
After a few attempts, it was impossible to get at least tens of thousands of dollars, and he actually said it was okay?
You can’t spend money recklessly just because you have some savings, right?
She doesn't have to stay in the VIP room.
The location in the lobby outside is very good, or you can just take a regular private room for a few hundred yuan.
Song Jing had anticipated that she would be shocked. Everything was part of his plan. He revealed his financial strength to her step by step so that she wouldn't find it difficult to accept the truth later.
"Don't worry." He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her bowl. "Your boyfriend is richer than you think. A few meals in a private room is nothing."
Xu Zhixi couldn't bear to listen any longer and suddenly put down his chopsticks: "Song Jing, do you think you can't spend hundreds of thousands of dollars?"
It was just a few hundred thousand yuan in savings, and it was all gone when I bought a car.
Could he be richer than he imagined?
Could it be that the definition of being rich is so broad now?
If Song Jing often behaves like this in the future, she won't know how to get along with him.
It’s not good to spend too little on him, but spending too much will put too much pressure on yourself.
Since everyone is of equal strength, just treat each other according to a normal living standard. Why make things so difficult for yourself?
Song Jing frowned, obviously not expecting such a big reaction from her.
Xu Zhixi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Song Jing, I know you are generous. But I don't want you to have to prove yourself like this just because of Wang Zi. I never thought about marrying a rich man, you don't have to do this."
Song Jing: “…”
She thought that he spent so much money to buy a private room because of Wang Zi?
"I know you men all have pride, and I understand that. But if you were as rich as Wang Zi, I wouldn't choose you."
Especially since he happened to see Wang Zi proposing to her, any normal man would feel uncomfortable. After all, the person being proposed to was his girlfriend, and she was being proposed to by a rich second-generation man whose family background was better than his.
She just wanted to tell him that he didn't need to spend money on her intentionally, as he was fine the way he was.
Playboys like Wang Zi, who have complicated families, many troubles, and even more women, are what she dislikes the most.
So, there is no need to compare.
Song Jing's thin lips moved slightly, and he looked at the girl's "righteous" eyes, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain.
That he didn't do it out of self-esteem?
Or does he have more than a hundred thousand in savings?
Saying the former would only make the matter more obvious, and saying the latter now would be tantamount to an immediate death sentence.
Seeing that he was silent, Xu Zhixi became more certain of her guess. Recalling the necklace he had given her a few days ago, she was afraid that it was worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. Her fair fingers subconsciously covered the pendant: "Song Jing, this necklace won't be very expensive..."
She could accept him giving her valuables, but it had to be within a reasonable range. It was unnecessary for him to give her things out of anger.
What if he regrets it later?
Song Jing interrupted her in time: "It's not expensive."
Xu Zhixi: "Not expensive?"
"A miscellaneous brand." He remained calm. "One thousand nine hundred and eighty."
Is this true or false?
Xu Zhixi looked suspicious: "Then let me see the receipt."
"It's already been thrown away."
“…”
I've already bought it, so there seems to be no point in pursuing it now.
After figuring this out, Xu Zhixi stopped asking questions and said seriously, "In short, don't waste money on me in the future."
If Song Jing really squandered all his savings because of her and became penniless, she didn't know how to face him in the future.
Moreover, if his family knew about this, what would they think of her?
You'd definitely think she was a gold digger.
Song Jing pulled the corner of his lip and said in a low voice without emotion: "I will pay attention next time."
Only then did Xu Zhixi reluctantly let go of his worries and returned his gaze to the delicious food on the table.
During the meal, Xu Zhixi took a lot of photos, while Song Jing focused on eating, so in the end she was the only one still eating slowly. Song Jing had already put down his cutlery and washed his hands with a wet towel.
The phone rang, Song Jing put down the towel, glanced at the note message, and frowned slightly.
Xu Zhixi thought he was worried about her and didn't want to answer the phone, so she said sympathetically, "You answer the phone first."
Song Jing raised his hand and touched her hair before answering the phone. His voice was calm: "What's the matter?"
Xu Zhixi silently smoothed down his raised hair and glared at him secretly.
He ruffled her hair again.
"Brother," the boy on the phone said in a clear, youthful voice, with a very flattering tone, "My dear brother, please help me!"
"No help."
The other end seemed not to hear, and said in a high voice: "Okay! Thank you, brother! I will put Miaomiao's things away neatly, you just need to ask Auntie to feed it on time."
Song Jing frowned: "Miao Miao?"
"By the way, don't forget to clean up its poop."
"Wen Lu!" Song Jing's eyes flashed with annoyance, "Take your cat out."
"Then I'll hang up first?" A kitten's weak meowing sound came from the receiver. It sounded like a kitten. Wen Lu teased the kitten and said with a playful smile, "Cousin, please take care of Miaomiao for the next few days. Once I've dealt with the old man, I'll come pick up my little darling."
Song Jing: “…”
Wen Lu obviously took advantage of Song Jing's absence to dare to "commit treason", otherwise he would never have dared to be so bold in the past. He was even afraid to talk to Song Jing.
There's no way, Song Jing is mature at a young age.
When he was still copying the homework of the top students in school, they had already become independent and expanded their business in the company. They were completely on a different level.
Seeing Song Jing hang up the phone, Xu Zhixi asked jokingly, "Who stuffed a cat into your house?"
Song Jing pressed his slender fingers between his eyebrows: "What a stinky boy."
"Um..." Xu Zhixi held the cup of warm water tightly and said hesitantly, "Can I go and take a look?"
The light in Song Jing's eyes fluctuated slightly: "Hmm?"
Xu Zhixi's eyes wandered: "I like cats very much and have always wanted to raise one."
Under the light, the girl's fair face was flushed, and her sparkling eyes were reserved and subtle. He suddenly curled his lips and said in a low voice: "Just looking at the cat?"
"Well, I can still watch..." Xu Zhixi's mind suddenly flashed back to the man's teasing words before dinner. She wanted to block his mouth, "Forget it if it's inconvenient."
"It's convenient." Song Jing really enjoyed seeing her throwing a tantrum, and chuckled, "Why not? It's convenient 24 hours a day."
Xu Zhixi: "The way you acted just now was clearly because you were afraid that I would take advantage of you."
He raised his eyebrows slightly, saying nonchalantly, "Is there?"
Xu Zhixi pursed her lips and said, "Yes."
"If you must have one." A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, and he smiled lazily, "That was probably my unconscious behavior. After all... I'm still a virgin."
Xu Zhixi: “…”
Ahhhhhh!
This stinky, shameless thing!
…
The shameless man was not ashamed of it, but proud of it. When Xu Zhixi came out of the private room, she refused to hold his hand and didn't even look at him.
Song Jing followed behind her, looking at her striding forward, his eyes full of indulgence.
The restaurant manager came over from the other side and went straight to Song Jing, being extremely respectful and cautious, even a little nervous: "Master Song, you..."
Caught off guard by the call, Song Jing quickly raised his hand to stop him from saying anything else.
However, it was too late. Although Xu Zhixi was some distance away from them, he still heard it.
She turned around in surprise.
Young master?
Song Jingjun's face was too calm, and no emotion could be seen: "What's missing?"
The restaurant manager looked bewildered: "Is there... not enough?"
Song Jing looked so gloomy that the manager's forehead was sweating and he felt quite stressed.
The surprise in Xu Zhixi's eyes disappeared. It turned out that it was "not enough", not "Master Song". She walked towards the two people and asked doubtfully, "What is missing?"
The restaurant manager smiled bitterly in his heart.
He doesn't know.
He had just been notified.
He didn't send enough gifts, which was a serious mistake for Canglanzhai. He would definitely not be included in this year's evaluation.
Song Jing's gaze fell on the restaurant manager again, and his voice was dull: "What is it?"
The restaurant manager racked his brains and tentatively replied, "Not enough...lucky bags?"
Lucky bag?
Xu Zhixi asked: "Is this the surprise lucky bag you posted on your official website?"
Are there surprise lucky bags with red envelopes of various amounts, free VIP room experience cards, and 2,000 yuan vouchers?
But doesn't this mean it won't start until May 1st?
There is still more than a month left.
The restaurant manager looked at Song Jing and saw that he didn't seem to have any objections. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly made up an excuse: "Yes, miss. Before May Day, we also randomly give out lucky bags to customers. You and Mr. Song... happen to be today's lucky customers."
Xu Zhixi's eyes showed surprise: "How lucky."
Seeing her happy look, Song Jing also raised the corner of his lips: "Like it?"
Xu Zhixi's eyebrows curved: "I like it."
Song Jing reached out and touched her hair: "Make a wish, so that you can draw the lucky bag you want."
Xu Zhixi couldn't help laughing at him: "You are so naive." If making wishes is useful, then no one would work so hard and everyone would make wishes instead.
Song Jing remained noncommittal: "How do you know if you don't try?"
The restaurant manager broke out in a cold sweat. If he didn't understand the hint, he wouldn't be worthy of being a manager. He quickly chimed in, "Miss, you can try it. Just think of it as a good omen."
Then...
Want to try it?
Xu Zhixi looked at Song Jing and whispered, "I hope I can draw the lucky bag with the largest amount of money."
The voice was so quiet that the restaurant manager strained his ears, unable to hear what she said. His mind raced with ideas, and he said, "Miss, a wish must be made three times for it to come true. Why don't you say it twice more?"
Xu Zhixi was confused: "Is there such a saying?"
The restaurant manager smiled apologetically: "That's right."
It has to be like this.
Otherwise, he didn't hear clearly what the lady wished for, so how could he make her wish come true?
Xu Zhixi just thought it was an important matter said three times, and did not think about it in depth. He clasped his hands together and made two more wishes piously.
The restaurant manager approached calmly and listened attentively. Only then did he barely understand Xu Zhixi's wish and hurried down to prepare the lucky bag.
After the people walked away, Xu Zhixi moved two steps towards Song Jing and said with a frown: "Why do I feel that this manager is weird?" The last time he came here, the manager did not show up. When he saw him today, he felt that he seemed too friendly.
Song Jing took her hand and said, "Hmm? What's strange about that?"
Xu Zhixi glanced around and said hesitantly, "Didn't you notice just now? He seemed to be eavesdropping on me making a wish."
"Is there?"
"It seems... yes." He asked back, and Xu Zhixi suddenly became uncertain.
Song Jing smiled and said, "You may have been too tired from studying recently. There is no reason for him to eavesdrop."
Xu Zhixi began to doubt himself.
Was she really mistaken?
But there was really no reason for the restaurant manager to eavesdrop. It couldn't possibly be to grant her a wish, could it?
A few minutes later, the restaurant manager returned with his assistant, who was holding a large vintage wooden brocade box with beautiful lacquer color and clear and delicate carvings.
From a distance, the restaurant manager noticed the two people's clasped hands and paused for a moment.
"Ms. Xu, this is the lucky bag." The restaurant manager smiled and became more respectful. "Please pick any one you like."
The assistant quickly opened the brocade box, approached Xu Zhixi, and nodded respectfully.
Xu Zhixi looked at the brocade box and the festive lucky bag inside, and couldn't help but smile.
Unexpectedly, she actually drew the lucky bag.
"This one." After scanning through the many lucky bags several times, Xu Zhixi finally picked one that he liked.
Song Jing: "Open it and take a look."
Xu Zhixi became inexplicably nervous and didn't know what his luck was like.
With a nervous mood, Xu Zhixi carefully untied the rope tied at the opening of the lucky bag and pulled out the small cardboard inside.
There were a few small words on it.
Ten thousand yuan in cash.
Xu Zhixi was stunned and confirmed it several times before he dared to believe that he had really won the prize.
This also...
How lucky!
Is today her lucky day?
The author has something to say:

Xiaoxi: So lucky!
Restaurant manager [bursts into tears]: Nonsense, all the lucky bags contain 10,000 yuan in cash.
