CHAPTER 25: CHAPTER 24: IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU IN THE COMPUTER

Seeing Zhang Shaoting’s behavior, Yang Chen immediately recognized that this guy was just a playboy.

As he walked closer, Zhang Shaoting opened his arms to hug Wei Xueqing.

A trace of disgust flashed in Wei Xueqing’s eyes, and she gently avoided him, extending her hand with a smile: "I’m also glad to see you, Young Master Zhang. Have you eaten? How about grabbing something together?"

Zhang Shaoting paused, looking at Wei Xueqing’s delicate hand, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes. He laughed and grabbed it, gently rubbing the back of her smooth, white hand with his thumb, lightly chuckling, "Of course, dining with you is my pleasure!"

Wei Xueqing smiled and waved her hand, pointing to a nearby restaurant: "How about this place!"

"OK!"

A restaurant located in the commercial street of Zhangkou Grand Hotel must not be of low grade. Just the presence of the seven-star Zhangkou Grand Hotel here ensures that the commercial street below doesn’t fall short.

Simply looking at that row of international brand clothing stores proves it all.

This was an authentic Xiyan Restaurant, where a strong traditional and rich Flame Country atmosphere greeted them as soon as they entered.

Yang Chen really liked this style.

Restaurants that can operate here generally have some connection with the Zhang family. So when Zhang Shaoting arrives, he definitely receives top VIP treatment.

As soon as they entered, the supervisory manager and staff all rushed over to welcome them.

"Young Master Zhang, what would you like to eat today? Feel free to order, and I’ll have our head chef specially prepare it for you!" the manager obsequiously said.

Zhang Shaoting chuckled, patting the manager on the shoulder: "Just serve whatever you think is your specialty, I trust your skills!"

He was quite satisfied with this manager, at least he maintained enough face in front of Wei Xueqing.

"Alright! Rest assured, please proceed to the Glory and Wealth Hall upstairs!" the manager happily said.

"Tacky!" Zhang Shaoting frowned and scolded: "What glory and wealth, tacky! Let’s go to the Orchid Hall!"

"Alright! Then Orchid Hall it is!" The manager was entirely compliant with Zhang Shaoting.

Beside them, it was almost impossible for Wei Xueting to conceal her look of disdain. In her view, such behavior was completely that of a nouveau riche, a mere moneyed landowner, lacking any grace.

She sighed, the saying that Flame Country had no aristocracy after feudalism was not without reason. Cultivating an aristocrat took at least three generations, and this type of aristocrat isn’t just about learned manners but rather that deeply ingrained nobility and elegance. Such aristocracy is difficult to form without long-term accumulation and refinement.

Moreover, given the style of national conduct, once money is acquired, children are naturally indulged in every possible way, lacking education, making it even harder to achieve the desired outcomes.

Although Wei Xueting greatly disdained it, since it was for business, she still put on a very happy demeanor.

Their room had a unique style, with the entire door intricately carved, and just that door alone was of significant value.

As they walked into the room, Yang Chen also followed in.

Zhang Shaoting noticed Yang Chen and couldn’t help but frown and ask: "Who is this?"

Wei Xueqing glanced at Yang Chen and after considering, said, "My colleague!"

"Oh!" Zhang Shaoting nodded and gestured to Yang Chen: "You’re not needed here, you can leave now!"

Yang Chen remained unmoved.

Seeing this, Zhang Shaoting was immediately displeased and said, "Hey! Didn’t you hear me talking to you? I’m telling you to leave!"

Yang Chen continued to ignore, standing quietly behind Wei Xueqing.

Wei Xueqing frowned slightly. Although she didn’t like Yang Chen, it didn’t mean others could reprimand her people like this.

"You go out first, wait for me outside." Wei Xueqing softly said.

Yang Chen thought for a moment and said to Wei Xueqing, "I’ll stand right at the door, call me if you need anything."

Wei Xueqing nodded.

Yang Chen turned and walked out, as Zhang Shaoting said behind him: "What a piece of crap!"

Yang Chen paused, his brow slightly furrowed, but ultimately he walked out, standing by the right side of the door.

Zhang Shaoting watched Yang Chen’s silhouette and snorted coldly, saying to Wei Xueqing: "Xueqing, what kind of crap people does your company employ? They don’t listen at all, you should fire him later!"

Wei Xueqing slightly knitted her brows, a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes, and she calmly said, "Young Master Zhang, he’s just a junior guard, is it worth that for you, a great hero, to stoop to his level? His entire family relies on him to eat."

Outside the door, Yang Chen’s lips slightly curled upward, a whole family? Who? Ye Xin? This wealthy woman who can afford to live in Emperor Garden seemingly doesn’t need me to support her, right?

"Of course!" Zhang Shaoting also thought he needed to maintain a bit of grace in front of a beauty, and laughed, "Then I’ll listen to you, won’t bother with him."

"Thank you, Young Master Zhang." Wei Xueqing nodded, took out a proposal, and said to Zhang Shaoting: "Young Master Zhang, today I went to your hotel to find your father, but..."

"Oh! Sister Xueqing, you’re younger than me, so let me call you that. You can call me Brother Ting, it’ll be more intimate." Zhang Shaoting stood up, sat next to Wei Xueqing, with a face full of smiles.

Wei Xueqing’s face looked slightly unnatural, scooting slightly away, and said to Zhang Shaoting: "Young Master Zhang, I..."

Zhang Shaoting stood up, plucked the roses from the vase on the table, handed them to Wei Xueqing, and said, "Sister Xueqing, did you know? From the first moment I saw you, I fell for you! I believe in love at first sight because when I saw you, it was love at first sight. In these days when I couldn’t see you, when I open my eyes, it’s you, and when I close my eyes, it’s even more you—you’re on the ceiling, in the mirror, and even in the computer!"

Cold sweat trickled down Wei Xueqing’s forehead as she listened, feeling herself being turned into something like Sadako.

"Um, Young Master Zhang..."

"I told you! Don’t call me Young Master Zhang!" Zhang Shaoting was somewhat displeased and said: "Look, you’re Shangdong Group’s only daughter, I’m the Zhang Group’s only son, we’re both from large corporate families. Our family is the largest in the hotel industry; although your family does a variety of businesses, the strength is undeniable. If we cooperate, we will definitely create a miracle, believe me! Sister Xueqing, I love you!"

While speaking, Zhang Shaoting grabbed Wei Xueqing’s hand with urgency, intending to lean in to kiss her.

"Let go! What are you doing!" Wei Xueqing was shocked and shouted.

But how could a gentle girl like her break free from a man’s grip?

Just when Zhang Shaoting’s face was getting closer, Wei Xueqing almost screamed.

Suddenly, a rough large hand blocked in front of Wei Xueqing, grabbed Zhang Shaoting’s face, and pushed him away.

"Poof!" Zhang Shaoting only felt as though he kissed a tree bark, rough and dry on his mouth, while a tremendous force hit him, almost sending him flying.

After failing to sit properly under his butt, he crashed to the ground, lying flat with a thud.

"Damn!" Zhang Shaoting roared in anger, jumping up, and shouted: "Who the hell are you!"
