Chapter 6: Booking Banquets
Chapter 6: Booking Banquets
Chen Rou\'er was stunned.
She disregarded the fiery pain on her face, her eyes widened and stared at Ye Xingchen, filled with an expression of disbelief.
She had willingly offered herself and was rejected, but to make matters worse, she had been slapped!
That was bad enough!
But he was even accusing her of molesting him?!
Wasn\'t he the one who used to eagerly anticipate and daydream about such things happening?
What was happening now?!
Chen Rou\'er felt an unreal sensation, as if she were dreaming.
At that moment, Ye Xingchen\'s cold voice brought her back to reality.
"Don\'t stand here blocking the way, move aside!"
Chen Rou\'er snapped back to her senses and exclaimed, "Ye Xingchen, just you wait, we\'re not finished!"
Leaving behind a harsh remark, Chen Rou\'er covered her face and left.
Ye Xingchen faintly smiled, not bothered in the slightest.
Chen Rou\'er was just a gold-digging woman with an average background. Over the past few years, he had been supporting her without even having a job. What influence could she possibly have?
Threatening him was simply a joke.
Soon, the workers finished unloading the goods and left.
By now, the villa\'s yard was filled with various supplies. After confirming no one was around, Ye
Xingchen stored everything in the dimensional space.
Instantly, the villa\'s yard became empty.
Though the dimensional space had been filled with so many supplies, it still appeared empty.
The dimensional space had an area of three hundred hectares and a height of one hundred meters; it was truly enormous.
"Any useful supplies I can think of need to be put into the dimensional space, and I have to fill it up!"
He muttered to himself in a low voice, then returned to the villa and lay down on the sofa, planning tomorrow\'s actions.
Relying solely on the resources from his own supermarket\'s logistics center, he would definitely live comfortably during the apocalypse, free from worrying about food.
But most of what he could directly consume from there were snacks and fruits, and anyone would grow tired of them after a while.
The supermarket did have a fair amount of fresh produce, but he hardly knew how to cook and couldn\'t make any delicious dishes.
Therefore, Ye Xingchen decided that tomorrow he would go to the major hotels to order banquet meals, packing them all into the dimensional space.
Because time was frozen in the dimensional space, there was no issue of food going bad; everything taken out would be fresh at any time.
Ye Xingchen wanted to ensure that when the apocalypse arrived and others were struggling for a mouthful of food, he could still enjoy the most delicious banquets.
With these plans in mind, Ye Xingchen received the design blueprint from Long Shield Security Company, and after reviewing it, he was satisfied.
Having arranged to conduct an on-site survey tomorrow, Ye Xingchen returned to his bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.
Since the apocalypse in his previous life, it had been a while since he had slept so soundly. He didn\'t wake up until a little past nine the next morning.
After freshening up and having a light breakfast at home, Ye Xingchen got in his car and drove towards Chuan Shuqing, the most authentic and highly praised Sichuan restaurant in Jinghai
City.
On the other side,
Chen Rou\'er\'s best friend, Chu Yao, had just returned from a vacation in Thailand and brought local specialties to visit her.
She knocked on the door for a while before Chen Rou\'er finally opened it.
Chu Yao complained, "What\'s wrong with you? You never turn off your phone, and you don\'t reply to messages..."
Sure, here\'s the translation:
Speaking of this, Chu Yao only noticed that Chen Rou\'er\'s half-face was swollen, her eyes were red as if she had cried, and her expression was extremely haggard.
Chu Yao put down the local specialty in her hand with a slap, quickly took Chen Rou\'er\'s hand, her eyes full of concern and anger.
"Rou\'er, what\'s happened to you! Did someone hit you?! Tell me, I\'ll scold him for you!"
Upon hearing her words, Chen Rou\'er completely let her guard down, hugging Chu Yao and bursting into tears, her cries were heart-wrenching.
After returning home yesterday, the more she thought about it, the angrier and more aggrieved she felt, almost not sleeping all night.
Now seeing her best friend, she couldn\'t hold back anymore.
"Rou\'er, don\'t cry, tell me what happened!"
Chu Yao supported Chen Rou\'er into the room.
...
A moment later, having learned the ins and outs of the situation, Chu Yao said with anger, "To actually hit a woman, he\'s really not a man. He deserves to be single forever, that dog!"
Chen Rou\'er sniffled softly, her face full of unwillingness. "Yao Yao, what should I do? Without that lapdog, how can I go on living?"
She was getting anxious.
Finding a wealthy second-generation like Ye Xingchen who would shower her with money was simply impossible in a short period of time.
She didn\'t want to lower herself to look for those greasy middle-aged men in their forties or fifties, feeling disgusted by the thought. Besides, men at this age always wanted to take advantage; how could they lavish money on her like Ye Xingchen used to?
She had grown accustomed to a life of luxury, and now without Ye Xingchen as her cash machine, her living standards would plummet immediately. That was something she absolutely couldn\'t accept.
"As beautiful as I am, I should be up high, enjoying those exquisite things. How could I be the same as ordinary people?"
She didn\'t care about Ye Xingchen\'s slap anymore, she just wanted to continue living her old life.
Chu Yao sighed and said, "You, I\'ve told you before, leading someone on like that is like playing with monkeys. You have to give them benefits from time to time. You didn\'t let him take advantage of anything before, and now, see, problems have arisen just as I predicted."
Chen Rou\'er thought for a moment; Chu Yao had indeed said something like this before. It felt like a lifeline, and she quickly asked, "So, what should I do now?"
"What should you do? Apologize!"
"But I already apologized yesterday, and not only did he not accept it, he hit me!"
"You chose the wrong time to go. You went when he was most angry. Isn\'t that asking for trouble?"
"What do you mean then?"
"He yelled and hit you yesterday, he should\'ve vented most of his anger. Going today will definitely yield different results."
Chen Rou\'er thought for a moment and found it reasonable. She held Chu Yao\'s arm and pleaded, "Can you accompany me there?"
Chu Yao sighed helplessly. "Fine, I\'m really fed up with you."
Chen Rou\'er was still somewhat worried. "Do you think he\'ll forgive me this time?"
A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Chu Yao\'s mouth. "After being a lapdog for several years, it shows that Ye Xingchen is a fool for love. Such idiots are easy to deceive. Once his anger subsides, won\'t he obediently continue being your lapdog?"
...
Meanwhile,
Ye Xingchen had already arrived at the Chuan Shu Qing Restaurant.
The waiter warmly greeted him, "Hello, sir, how many people?"
Ye Xingchen shook his head. "I\'m not here to eat, I\'m here to book a banquet. What are the prices?"
The waiter smiled, "The lowest is 888 yuan, then there\'s 1288, 1688..."
Ye Xingchen interrupted directly, "What\'s the highest price?"
"The highest is 2888 yuan. In addition to classic Sichuan dishes, there are also modern Sichuan-style dishes made with the best ingredients. Let me show you the menu." The waiter handed over the menu.
After a moment of perusing, Ye Xingchen nodded.
"Alright, then I\'ll take the 2888 yuan option. I want a thousand tables."
