Chapter 225: 205, big brother is living a fairy-tale life! (Asking for monthly tickets)
At the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Wei Zhengyi was all smiles as he posed for a photo with Yang Hao and posted an update on his social circle to help promote the event.
To someone of Wei Zhengyi's stature, attending a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a hot pot restaurant seemed somewhat beneath him; if it hadn't been Yang Hao's establishment, he would have never considered participating.
And indeed, one of his close friends couldn't resist teasing him over WeChat: “Wei, are you really scraping the barrel by showing up at a hot pot restaurant's opening now?”
Wei Zhengyi hit back without a hitch: “You know nothing, Jon Snow. This is our group president's store!!”
And sure enough, with Wei Zhengyi bringing in a crowd, the hot pot restaurant's popularity indeed soared. At first, it was just the HR department staff, but as lunchtime approached and the commercial street became busier, people noticed the packed new hot pot restaurant and its grand opening deals, and soon there was a waiting line for tables.
Perhaps this was the so-called “herd effect” in action.
Wei Zhengyi, with his sharp eye, noticed the growing queue and promptly signaled for his group to leave, making room for new customers.
Before leaving, Wei Zhengyi even purchased a membership card and topped it up with ten thousand yuan.
At noon, Sun Xinyi and Xu Yali also came to support the event.
The appearance of these two beauties immediately drew the eyes of many patrons, and some of the men even began to stir, thinking about adding them on WeChat or something similar.
But they soon felt disheartened, as the even more attractive woman was seen linking arms affectionately with the owner shortly upon her arrival.
Clearly, she was the hot pot restaurant owner's lady, but to everyone's relief, it seemed the other beauty was still unattached…
“Yang, Shasha mentioned she would arrive in Jiangcheng this afternoon; did you know?” Xinyi asked as they found a spot to sit on the second floor. “Shasha” referred to Yang Hao's sister-in-law.
Xinyi had told Yang Hao about his cousin and cousin's wife coming to Jiangcheng on Monday.
“Dapeng did send me a WeChat message last night, but I had totally forgotten about it with all this busyness,” he said.
Yang Peng, his cousin, indeed sent a WeChat message to Yang Hao the night before, mentioning they would arrive in Jiangcheng today. However, Yang Hao was so occupied last night dealing with time management and waiting for the Kidney-Strengthening Potion's effects to wear off that he had completely forgotten about it.
“Yang, you must be very busy today. I can go pick them up,” Xinyi offered.
“Sure, just bring them directly to the hot pot restaurant for dinner. Let me know when you arrive.”
Yang Hao did indeed intend to pick up his cousin personally, but at the moment the potion's effects were kicking in again, and he needed to deal with it.
He sent a WeChat message to Natasha, a rather robust 'Foreign Monster,' to inquire about her address and then left the hot pot restaurant to drive over.
The foreign lady lived in Xinheng Apartment, which was located in a prime location. The flats were 40-to-50 square meter lofts with stylish interiors, making them highly popular among younger residents.
However, these apartments were “commercial water and electricity” usage, classified for business purposes with a property right of forty years, which made them relatively cheap to buy and affordable to rent.
This resulted in Xinheng Apartment housing a large group of “little online celebrities” who leveraged social media to promote and package themselves, subsequently engaging in nameless romances.
Hence, Xinheng Apartment also earned the nickname “Exquisite Ancient City,” with a joke that even delivery drivers had to leave behind four hundred yuan upon entering.
Therefore, the environment here was not considered great and could fittingly be described as a massive flesh trade center.
While waiting for the elevator, Yang Hao encountered a girl wearing a hip-wrapped skirt, heavy makeup, and a butterfly visible near her chest area, standing next to a somewhat balding middle-aged man. The two weren't talking at all, and it was clear they weren't familiar with each other.
However, it was highly likely that after heading upstairs, the two strangers would become quite 'familiar' with each other.
This type of scenario was all too common in this so-called Exquisite Ancient City.
Ironically, Yang Hao was going to the same floor as the pair, and to the room right next to theirs–the woman and the balding middle-aged man entered room 1607.
Natasha had provided Yang Hao with the address of room 1608.
“Dear, I was just about to come down and pick you up!”
When Yang Hao knocked on the door, Natasha had already put on her high heels and a light makeup, indeed looking like she was ready to head out.
“It's quite easy to find.”
Yang Hao entered the room, casually closing the door behind him.
Natasha was about to take off her high heels, but Yang Hao stopped her, “Keep them on~”
Yang Hao felt that at this moment, the attire of this 'Foreign Monster' was quite attractive, with an exotic charm and a touch of worldly air.
