Chapter 715: Chapter 283: Old Friends and New Street, Buying a Watch_3
"No way, Junior Sister Jiang, we’ve met so many times already..."
As he spoke, Wang Feiyu couldn’t continue because Jiang Mo looked a bit puzzled, as if to say... Have we?
So he’d been hanging around in front of Jiang Mo all this time, and she didn’t remember at all.
Unable to go on, Wang Feiyu turned to the others, "Do you guys want a drink?"
"We’re not drinking either..."
Wang Ying and Cindy quickly waved their hands, only Yaoyao said she couldn’t handle white liquor, but anything else was fine.
Seeing this, Wang Feiyu gave up too, ordered a pot of corn juice, and waved the waiter away. At this point, Yaoyao, sensing the awkward atmosphere, smiled and said:
"Senior Brother Wang, I heard you say before that the restaurant where we’ll perform tonight got millions in investment. Is that true?"
When this was mentioned, Wang Feiyu couldn’t help but smile.
"You shouldn’t ask me about that; look, one of the shareholders is sitting right here..."
As he said this, Wang Feiyu gestured with his chin towards Qu Jie beside him.
"Ah, was that restaurant invested in by Qu?"
Yaoyao quickly looked over in surprise.
"Just a small venture."
Qu Jie waved his hand, seemingly unwilling to say more.
"Haha, if a twenty or thirty million investment is small, then most companies can only be called small workshops."
Wang Feiyu laughed, "Backed by Qiangsheng Real Estate, and with the resources of ByteDance, once this restaurant turns into a chain, it won’t just be about millions..."
One has to admit, people from Beidou really knew how to talk big. Thus, Wang Feiyu kept talking passionately until the waitress brought out the extra dishes, and he was still going on.
Actually, except for Zhou Wang, who occasionally felt amused, the other people couldn’t understand much; they only felt a vague sense of awe.
ByteDance didn’t need explanation, it’s a giant everyone on earth knew, and as for the "Qiangsheng Real Estate" Wang Feiyu mentioned, it was one of the well-known local real estate companies in Beidou.
Others might not know, but the local Yaoyao was always gasping in amazement, seemingly familiar with Qiangsheng Real Estate.
"Um, Zhou Wang, I’m sorry..."
While Wang Feiyu was boasting with Brother Jie, Wang Ying, remembering the unpleasantness caused by Qu Jie earlier, which inexplicably affected Zhou Wang, quickly apologized softly to Zhou Wang.
"It’s really okay; I actually think this meal was quite interesting."
Zhou Wang smiled gently.
Although Wang Ying couldn’t understand, she could tell Zhou Wang genuinely didn’t mind, so she showed a grateful smile.
"Good luck, Zhou Wang, I think, with your demeanor, you’ll definitely handle million-dollar businesses in the future... I’m good at judging people!"
After thinking for a moment, Wang Ying quietly encouraged Zhou Wang, clenching her fist to show her sincerity.
"Then I’ll take your good wishes."
Zhou Wang smiled and clinked his juice with hers.
Although Yaoyao was a bit annoying, having her around meant she took on the annoyance of Wang Feiyu for everyone else. Zhou Wang had learned from Wang Ying that their band could earn twenty thousand for tonight’s performance; evenly divided, each person would get at least four thousand, which was quite a sum for students.
That’s also the main reason why Wang Ying couldn’t refuse when she heard Wang Feiyu wanted to come.
Yaoyao and Zhang Jie chatted with Wang Feiyu, and Qu Jie, who wasn’t interested in blending in, kept exchanging jokes with Jiang Mubai, though Jiang Mubai seemed somewhat absent-minded, while Zhou Wang held Jiang Mo’s hand, chatting with Wang Ying about music and Cindy about the customs of Jiang Province, quite at ease...
The meal finally ended around one or two in the afternoon. When everyone got downstairs to settle the bill, Zhou Wang was the first to pay with his phone.
This kind of popular restaurant wasn’t that expensive; nearly ten people only cost over nine hundred bucks, and the boss, likely from the Northeast, also proactively gave a twenty percent discount and a few cans of drinks.
Wang Ying, who initially wanted to compete with Zhou Wang for the bill, could only shake her head helplessly and said, "Then I’ll give our share to Momo..."
"No need, it was my treat."
"That’s not fair to say; even though you’re Momo’s boyfriend, we’re also Momo’s friends. Celebrating for her isn’t just your thing, we agreed on this before we came, so Momo, you must accept it."
Wang Ying said earnestly.
Jiang Mo didn’t know how to handle this, so she looked at Zhou Wang. Zhou Wang thought for a moment, then nodded, indicating Jiang Mo should accept the money transfer.
"You really have the nerve..."
At this moment, a sneer came from the side, but when they looked over, neither Qu Jie nor Wang Feiyu was looking in this direction, as if they were chatting on their own, and that sentence was just incidental.
"You guys..."
Wang Ying couldn’t help wanting to say something, but Yaoyao next to her pulled her back.
As for Zhou Wang, he acted like nothing happened and turned around to take Jiang Mo to the restroom.
...
Girls generally took longer in the restroom, so when Zhou Wang came out first to wash his hands, he caught a glimpse in the mirror’s reflection and, after a moment of surprise, turned and asked:
"Were you waiting for me?"
In a corner near the potted plants, Jiang Mubai was leaning against the wall. She had her hands behind her back. Once she made eye contact with Zhou Wang, she sweetly smiled and carefully asked:
"Mr. Zhou, I wanted to have a few words with you; is that okay?"
Saying this, Jiang Mubai glanced towards the direction of the women’s restroom, "Uh... Should we find another place?"
"It’s fine, we can talk here."
Zhou Wang understood she was considering his privacy, so he shook his head.
