Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Who is Seriously Showing Off?

Li Jing and Huang Jun had to rush to Xiangfu Restaurant because the meeting location was changed at the last minute.

Seeing the luxurious décor of Xiangfu Restaurant, Huang Jun, who was initially complaining about the sudden change of venue, exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, they’ve switched to such an upscale restaurant? Could it be they’ve recognized my potential and raised the reception standards?"

Li Jing, standing beside him, heard this and had a vague guess about something, but wasn’t entirely sure.

As Li Jing and Huang Jun approached the restaurant entrance, the automatic doors slid open to either side, and a young, attractive hostess quickly stepped forward with a welcoming smile: "Do you gentlemen have a reservation?"

"Someone booked it, room 888."

"Alright, this way please, gentlemen."

Upon hearing this, the hostess immediately bowed and smiled as she gestured to lead the way for the two.

"Wow, this really is a high-end restaurant. The professionalism of the staff is different; they’re beautiful and make you feel good."

Huang Jun couldn’t help but whisper a remark to Li Jing, but his facial expression remained unchanged, worried that others might realize this was his first time at a high-end restaurant.

Li Jing, on the other hand, appeared much calmer.

Having dined at luxurious places in Celestial Sea City, to him, Lishui City’s restaurants were just child’s play in comparison.

Led by the waitress, the two stepped into the restaurant lobby, where stunning crystal chandeliers scattered light like stars, illuminating the luxurious marble floor, reflecting images like a mirror.

The tall columns around the lobby displayed elegant golden decorations, radiating majesty and grandeur.

As Huang Jun walked confidently with his head held high through the opulent lobby, for some reason, his confidence faded, causing him to slightly hunch and slouch.

Did they really choose such an extravagant place?

Thinking this, Huang Jun instinctively glanced at Li Jing beside him, taken aback:

Seriously? This guy is good at pretending; he’s so composed?!

"I must say, in recent years, you’ve really honed your nerves."

Li Jing glanced at his restrained companion and couldn’t help but laugh: "It’s just a restaurant, no need to be so tense."

"Who says I’m tense?!"

Realizing he was being outdone by his friend, Huang Jun immediately straightened his back, trying to project an air of ease: "Am I tense? I’m perfectly relaxed!"

"If you’re relaxed, could you stop squeezing my arm? My arm’s practically getting crushed by you."

Upon hearing this, Huang Jun was startled, realizing he had unconsciously walked behind Li Jing, grabbing his arm for some reassurance.

Combined with his nervousness and strength, he had indeed left a few red marks on Li Jing’s arm.

Seeing this, Huang Jun chuckled awkwardly and decided not to hide anymore, leaning towards Li Jing and whispered lowly: "Brother, I really need to rely on you this time. If I embarrass myself later, you gotta help cover for me."

...

Inside the private room, before Huang Jun had the chance to admire the lavish interior, the dedicated room waitress had already brought the menu.

"Mr. Huang, here’s our menu. Would you like to order now?"

"I’m not ordering yet, just browsing."

Huang Jun’s large hand accepted the menu, and upon casually flipping a page, his eyelids twitched sharply, nearly causing his heart to skip a beat.

What kind of robbery is this?!

Looking at the prices in the menu, Huang Jun’s eyes nearly popped out.

Damn, blanching lettuce renamed as Jade Hairpin Scalded Vegetables, priced at 188 yuan.

An egg and tomato stir-fry renamed Golden Sun Reflecting Moon Hibiscus Dish, priced at 268 yuan.

Smashed cucumber dressed up as Jade Wish Fresh Cooling Salad, priced at 88 yuan.

Flipping through any page made Huang Jun feel like his wallet was about to shrink considerably.

This was without flipping to the main courses; if he did, Huang Jun might as well slam the table and jump up.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Hearing Li Jing’s cough beside him, Huang Jun snapped back to reality, realizing Li Jing was reminding him to mind his image, he immediately changed his expression slightly, then said to the waitress a bit awkwardly: "Um... just leave the menu here, we’ll order when everyone is here."

Watching the waitress leave after closing the door, Huang Jun’s serious expression instantly collapsed, turning to grab Li Jing’s hand with a hint of fear: "Wow, brother, I feel something’s off here.

Although I admit I have some talent and am handsome, it shouldn’t warrant such high-standard treatment, right?

Could this really be a scam? Maybe we should sneak out while they’re not here?"

"Someone’s treating you to a lavish meal, why would you sneak out?"

Li Jing said, "If we’re going to sneak away, we should at least finish eating first, right?"

"You’re right about that! If we’re going to sneak away, we should eat first!"

Huang Jun suddenly slapped his thigh and then began planning, "After we finish eating, you leave first, I’ll cover, then..."

"Alright, alright, you really plan on sneaking away? In broad daylight, and you’re so sturdy, do you think they’re going to eat you?"

Li Jing straightforwardly said, "I know the boss of this company; they shouldn’t be fake."

"You know their boss? That beautiful boss?"

Huang Jun widened his eyes, then looked disdainfully and incredulously, "Do you think I’m stupid? If you know that beautiful boss, I’ll call you dad right here!

We both came from small towns, struggling, even if your grades were better than mine, there’s no way you know someone of that level."

Hearing this, Li Jing raised an eyebrow, suddenly interested, "Oh? Father and son play? Really?"

"Don’t ’really’ me; it’s not the time to brag now."

Huang Jun waved his hand, "Trust your nonsense; we might as well think about how we’re going to talk to them later."

"Believe it or not, it’s up to you."

Seeing this, Li Jing didn’t bother explaining any further, instead he glanced at the menu full of Xiang cuisine specialties and laughed, "You’ll know the truth when you see their boss later."

"Are you saying their boss will personally come to talk to us?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Jun was even more skeptical and rolled his eyes, "Bro, no offense, but your bragging skills need improvement.

You should learn from me more on what it means to brag naturally."

...

At Xiangfu Restaurant, a Mercedes S400 stopped at the restaurant entrance.

Wearing a lady’s suit, Wei Jia stepped down in high heels, her eyes cold and her aura stunningly beautiful, carrying an invisible but palpable pressure.

Seeing this, a curly-haired, glasses-wearing middle-aged man waiting nearby had a slight change of expression, a wave of nervousness inexplicably surged in his heart, and he hurriedly approached respectfully, "President Wei, I’m He Huan, the content director of ’Self-Discipline and Self-Strengthening’ and the person responsible for this negotiation."

Upon hearing this, Wei Jia glanced at him and the young subordinates behind him and nodded slightly, "Mm, let’s go inside, and you can talk about your ideas."

"Alright, alright, Xiaoliu, give me the materials."

He Huan took the materials from the subordinate beside him, quickly stepped up to stay by Wei Jia, and introduced swiftly, "This time we’ve divided our cooperation into three types, A, B, and C, determining the final cooperation method based on the other’s different values, mainly differing in the amount of resource we provide and the percentage of profit sharing later."

Seeing her assistant had already gone ahead to liaise with the hotel’s reception, Wei Jia continued to ask, "What are your criteria for selection?"

Li Hua subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to answer, "We conduct rigorous screening of candidates; not only do we look at their fitness expertise level, but we also assess their image, communication skills, and social skills.

Moreover, we provide them with professional team support, including photography, editing, content planning, ensuring their content is high quality and attractive. We also formulate detailed promotional plans to advertise through various channels, increasing their exposure."

Speaking, he flipped out Huang Jun’s materials, "This time there are three candidates, and today Huang Jun is one of them; he has a certain fan base, and his professional abilities are decent.

If the candidate themselves has good resources, it will surely be more advantageous for our subsequent collaboration..."

On the way to the private room, Wei Jia listened attentively to He Huan’s briefing.

During the process, she posed particularly sharp questions, causing He Huan’s forehead to sweat continuously, answering extremely seriously and cautiously.

Not until hearing the waitress leading the way say "The private room is here" did He Huan exhale deeply and take the tissue handed by his colleague to wipe away the sweat.

"They say President Wei has a strong aura, normally in photos there’s nothing much, but seeing her in person, it’s truly suffocating."

Upon hearing this, He Huan’s subordinate nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking rice, not daring to interrupt at all earlier.

Then he whispered worriedly, "With President Wei attending this negotiation, with her aura, won’t she scare the other party?"

"Uh..."

Upon hearing this, He Huan was also uncertain and then urged, "Don’t overthink it, let’s hurry inside and hope Huang Jun’s mental strength is strong enough..."

"Wei Jia? I didn’t expect you to actually come, long time no see."

A crowd had just entered the private room, and a young man addressed Wei Jia directly by name, causing the assistants and others to frown in displeasure and just about to speak, when the previously stern Wei Jia responded with a smile:

"Seeing you personally recommend a friend to come, I naturally had to come and see. And to repay you for last time’s meal."

Seeing the previously intimidating Wei Jia suddenly smiling at a young man, He Huan and the female assistant were all stunned, looking dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Huang Jun, almost scared by the crowd, suddenly turned sharply to look at Li Jing, eyes wide in disbelief:

What the heck?!

We agreed to act, bro, why are you making it real??
