CHAPTER 95: TOO UGLY FOR THIS WORLD

Chi Yu had been to Xiangxilu before.

Xiong Yao guessed that when Chi Yu was with President Gu, he must have experienced all sorts of luxuries, and maybe Yi Shu had as well.

But Xiong Yao had truly never been here.

He asked the doorman: "Hey bro, what kind of card do you need to get in?"

The doorman replied: "Just show a card authorized by your bank, proving your assets, and you can enter."

Xiong Yao: "..."

!!!

The expenses at Xiangxilu are extremely high, and only the rich or noble can afford to spend here. The minimum spending for one night starts at six figures.

Xiong Yao had heard about how high the consumption here was but never expected it to be this outrageously high.

The world of the rich is truly bizarre; who would have thought you’d need to prove your assets just to have a meal?!!!

It’s practically inhumane extravagance!

While he was inwardly complaining wildly, Chi Yu behind him pulled down his mask: "Is face recognition okay?"

The doorman saw Chi Yu’s face and his eyes widened immediately. After realizing his own loss of composure, he quickly stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation while bowing: "Please, come in."

Chi Yu put on an earpiece, pulled up his mask, and stepped inside.

Xiong Yao, who was completely baffled: "Just scan a face and you’re in?"

Looking at that doorman, he was bowing so low he was almost touching the ground!

"...It really is a face-judging world; it’s my fault for being so ugly, but Brother Yu’s looks can work wonders anywhere." After finishing his complaint, Xiong Yao hurriedly followed inside.

In the Fengxie private room.

After Gu Yuan arrived, the general manager of Xiangxilu personally hosted her, ushering Gu Yuan into Fengxie.

It was a time to relax, so Gu Yuan didn’t bother with work matters and chatted with Sheng Yi about various topics on WeChat for a while.

At this moment, the door to the private room opened, and the manager Lin Jingshan came in first, saying to Gu Yuan: "President Gu, your friend has arrived."

Young Master Quan was here!

Gu Yuan put down her phone and stood up to greet her guest.

After Lin Jingshan stepped aside, Gu Yuan saw the man who walked in.

He wasn’t a towering seven feet tall, at most about 1.7 meters, with a medium build, shoulder-length hair, and an unusually shiny leather jacket. There was even a conspicuous black earpiece in his ear, like a small underling.

This man stared at her with piercing eyes, stepped forward, and extended his hand for a shake: "Miss Gu, pleasure to meet you."

Gu Yuan did not extend her hand, maintaining only a faint smile on her lips: "...Young Master Quan?"

The man nodded, and the arm he had extended for a handshake was still not withdrawn: "I am indeed Quan Jinjin, Miss Gu, nice to meet you."

Gu Yuan: "..."

When shaking hands with a lady, a gentleman should wait for the lady to extend her hand first. If the lady does not extend her hand or has no intent to shake hands, then one should not take the initiative to shake the lady’s hand.

Was this pampered young master from a powerful family doing this on purpose?

Gu Yuan remained unperturbed, sat down, and also signaled to him: "Please, have a seat."

The man sat down, his foolish grin undiminished, then gestured to the earpiece in his ear: "I’m busy with work, hope you don’t mind me wearing this?"

Gu Yuan smoothly responded: "Young Master Quan, do as you please."

Lin Jingshan poured him some tea and then exited the room.

The Fengxie room now only had Gu Yuan and this man. The private room was designed with bamboo and one-way glass, exuding an elegant ancient style.

Gu Yuan had already formed a suspicion in her mind: "Young Master Quan, having rushed to Sui City, are you planning to initiate any projects?"

Gu Yuan picked up her tea and took a slow sip.

Only to hear the man across from her speaking seriously: "I’m here in pursuit of that piece of Chensha tangerine peel, to lend Miss Gu a helping hand."

Upon hearing this—

Gu Yuan: "..."

Chen, Chensha tangerine peel?

Meanwhile, in the adjacent Yuxie private room.

While Chi Yu was drinking water, he suddenly choked and started coughing violently: "Cough, cough, cough, cough..."
