Chapter 133 Extorted

Forty minutes later, the Lin sisters' room was tidied up and the gaming equipment was moved in. The only problem was the bed. Because the recruitment process was quite urgent, the furniture was not yet complete, so the two girls had to sleep on the floor for the first two days.

"It's done!"

After cleaning up the last bit of dust, Yi Han took off his "work clothes," glanced at the time, and saw it was already 9:47 PM.

"Let's go, the room we booked is for 10 o'clock, we can get there just in time if we leave."

In the end, dinner turned into a late-night snack, but the celebration still had to be done; that's called a sense of ritual.

……

Which place did you book?

Inside the car, the five people sat in the old-fashioned configuration, and Ling Feixue's voice came from behind.

"Wei Kee Food Stall".

With the car's music player on, Yi Han began his nostalgic journey. This time, the song that came to his ears was "Moonlight Shadow." With the rapid development of the internet age, all kinds of music works have emerged one after another, but their quality varies. There are some good ones, but none of them can withstand the test of time. Only the classics of the past have endured and are still sung today.

Leaning back in his seat, listening to music, and glancing occasionally at Yi Han's handsome profile, Ling Chuan increasingly appreciated his taste, both in music and in life.

Take, for example, the chosen dining spot, Wei Kee Food Stall. It lacks the sophistication and prestige of other restaurants, but it's a genuine 30-year-old establishment; large in scale, offering a wide variety of dishes, and the taste is absolutely superb. Back in the day, when Chonghuang employees had gatherings, no one went to top-tier restaurants like Jin Sheng or Venice; they all came here. Frankly, everyone is essentially a common person; what they want when they go out to socialize is the atmosphere. A large platter of beautifully presented ingredients, a bottle of aged wine, and live music—is it romantic? Of course it is. Is it upscale? Absolutely. Is it suitable for a gathering? Obviously not, not to mention the psychological burden on the Lin sisters; their brother-in-law is truly perfect in terms of social etiquette.

Fifteen minutes later, everyone arrived at their location, got out of the car, and entered. The place was bustling with noise, and the lively atmosphere was instantly established. However, this liveliness diminished considerably the moment they reached the front desk.

While they will certainly attract attention, in today's society where moral education is already well-established, there won't be any inexplicable attempts to strike up conversations, act indecently, or show off. Instead, they'll likely glance at their friends and ask if someone from a film crew has finished shooting and is coming over for dinner. Or they might be looking down at their phones to search for idols they think they recognize and compare them, without even the person taking photos or videos being there.

"Hello sir, do you have a table reservation?"

The receptionist felt a little dazzled, because everyone standing in front of her, whether they were a couple who looked like they were together or a young man with a calm and aloof expression, looked as good as if they had stepped out of a movie screen; even the two beautiful women who were dressed plainly and without any makeup became extremely attractive because they were twins.

Yi Han smiled slightly, "I didn't book a dining table, but I booked a room."

The receptionist blushed and nervously replied, "Ah, yes, may I ask your surname, sir?"

“Ling”.

Ling Feixue and Ling Chuan glanced at Yi Han simultaneously, but remained silent.

“Ling… Oh, Mr. Ling, your room is the first one on the left in the corridor, ‘Jiangnan Shore’.”

"Okay, thank you, you've worked hard."

After thanking her, Yi Han took Ling Feixue's hand and walked towards their destination.

Ling Chuan stepped aside to let the Lin sisters walk in the middle, preventing them from getting lost while walking with their heads down. He followed closely behind, maintaining a low-key and gentlemanly demeanor. As for outside, he could rely on his brother-in-law's coattails.

Ignoring the various stares from those around them, the five entered the room. With the piercing gazes gone, the Lin sisters breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.

From childhood to adulthood, they had only ever eaten out when their father was healthy. Since he fell ill, they had never had that experience again; they either ate at the school cafeteria or cooked for themselves.

Lin Keke had some experience, having worked as a receptionist at Longyue for half a month, and had developed a certain immunity to the guests' gazes; unfortunately, today, being with Yi Han and the Ling siblings, the pressure of being the center of attention was much stronger.

"Sit down, we're all family, no need to be shy."

Yi Han spoke up to ease the tension, pulling Ling Feixue to sit down beside him. The Lin sisters, hearing this, sat down next to Ling Feixue. When it was Ling Chuan's turn, he glanced at the four people sitting side by side at one side of the table, then calmly pulled aside the seats directly opposite them and sat down alone across from them.

"What are you doing? Come over and join us," Yi Han asked, puzzled.

Ling Chuan spread his arms and crossed his legs, "Sitting like this will highlight my status as captain." Ling Feixue rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, "You're such a drama queen!"

Yi Han chuckled, "Besides, what you're doing isn't highlighting your status, it looks like you're here for a job interview."

Lin Keke suddenly added, "Yes, that's how I sat during my interview."

Ling Chuan was speechless. It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, because what she said made it seem so true.

"Hurry up and order, I'm hungry."

Unable to refute it, I simply changed the subject by saying I was urging them to finish the food.

"Okay, can you eat spicy food?" Yi Han asked, opening the holographic menu on the table.

"We can." The Lin sisters spoke in unison, as if on the same wavelength.

“Me too,” Ling Chuan echoed.

"Then let's start with three dry pot dishes, plus a serving of boiled beef and glutinous rice ribs."

Instantly deciding on five dishes, Yi Han projected the menu and pushed it in front of Ling Chuan.

Lingchuan thought for a moment and chose the barbecue option, ordering three dozen oysters and five dozen lamb skewers. It felt like a waste of his stomach not to have some barbecue so late at night.

"Tsk, these two dishes are a good choice, especially the former. Girls should eat more of it."

After giving Lingchuan a good review, Yi Han casually ordered another pot of hawthorn, lotus seed, and lily bulb porridge, noting that it should be served first, plus five bottles of Tiandi No. 1 cigarettes.

After confirming the menu and turning off the projector, Yi Han said, "While we wait for the food, let Fei Xue finish the work that was put on hold."

"Work?" The Lin sisters turned their heads blankly.

"It's just income statistics, easy to understand." Ling Feixue explained simply, took out her phone, connected to the holographic projection, opened a table, and said seriously, "Yesterday, the studio acquired a total of 56 pieces of equipment, including 26 bronze pieces and 30 iron pieces, all of which have been sold."

“来自唐大财子核心团队的24件青铜器一共卖出530枚金币,另外两件单卖20枚金币;再加30件黑铁器的收入,总计获得金币657枚。”

"Xiao Chuan handed in 90 gold coins, cleaned up the battlefield and got 74 gold coins, and Yi Han and I got 44 gold coins from the mission; before logging off, we had a total of 865 gold coins, all of which have been redeemed."

"The exchange rate was 1:5000 gold coins, after deducting a 5% handling fee, the daily income was..."

Taking a deep breath, Ling Feixue said in a deep voice, "4108750!"

"What?" Lin Xixi's eyes widened.

Lin Keke was astonished and asked incredulously, "How much?"

Ling Feixue held the two of them down and reassured them, "Calm down. The amount is indeed huge, but most of it is actually extorted."

"what?"

"We'll discuss the specifics over dinner; for now, let's continue checking the accounts."

After saying that, Ling Feixue continued, "Given that the income is mainly generated by Xiao Chuan alone, as usual, 50% of the daily income will be Xiao Chuan's personal income, and the remaining part will be the studio's total capital, which will be distributed at the end of the month."

Alright, I'll update Extreme Spirit first tomorrow, and Hunter God will be updated tonight.
