When I went home for Chinese New Year, I spent a million times more money on my foreign wife.

The dining car on train K19 is located in the middle of the train.

This place is a completely different world from the hard-seat carriage.

There was no sweaty smell, no instant noodle smell, only a faint aroma of coffee and the savory smell of grilled steak.

Even the heating is better than elsewhere.

When Chen Yang led the "zongzi" into the dining car, the previously quiet carriage fell into a moment of deathly silence.

It's too eye-catching.

Chen Yang had a scraggly beard, and his jacket was so dirty it shone; he looked slovenly.

Not to mention that foreign girl, her military coat looked tattered and worn, and she walked like a moving garbage dump.

"Holy crap, what's that smell?"

Beside a table by the window, a fat man with a thick gold chain around his neck fanned his nose dramatically.

The fat man was wearing a mink coat and had a face full of fat. On the table were a bottle of Wuliangye liquor and several main dishes.

Across from him sat a heavily made-up woman who glanced at Chen Yang with disdain, pinched her nose, and said in a shrill voice:

"Where are the waiters? Are they letting just anyone onto this train now? Even beggars are being led here?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it had extremely strong penetrating power.

Everyone in the dining car turned to look, most of them with expressions of anticipation, as if they were watching a show.

If this had happened ten minutes ago, Chen Yang would have definitely lowered his head and slunk away.

After all, he only had three hundred yuan in his pocket. That's the backbone of the poor; they can't stand up straight.

But now?

Chen Yang touched the phone in his pocket.

There are over ten thousand lying there.

That was his courage.

He didn't even lift his eyelids, nor did he glance at the fat man. He simply pulled the "zongzi" (a type of rice dumpling) and walked straight to the empty table next to the fat man.

"sit."

Chen Yang pulled out a chair.

The "zongzi" was very obedient, sitting down quietly, but its eyes scanned the food on the surrounding table like radar.

Finally, her gaze settled on the large plate of braised pork that remained on the fat man's table.

His throat moved.

The sound of swallowing was clearly audible.

The fat man chuckled, pushed the plate of braised pork towards the edge of the table, and waved it at the table like he was feeding a dog.

"Hey buddy, wanna eat? Just say you don't have money for food, I'll give you the leftover soup."

The woman across from him covered her mouth and chuckled, "Honey, you're so naughty. What if they actually believe it?"

Chen Yang ignored him.

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"waiter!"

A train conductor in uniform walked over.

His attitude was neither warm nor cold; his gaze swept over Chen Yang and the foreign woman, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Dude, we don't accept rubles here, only yuan. Also, this is an international train, so the food is expensive. Make sure you've chosen carefully before you order."

The implication is: If you're broke, don't pretend to be something you're not and get lost.

Chen Yang picked up the menu.

I didn't even look at the contents.

"This menu."

He raised his head and looked directly into the train conductor's eyes:

"I don't eat the leftover cilantro. Just give me one of everything that's on this."

The train conductor was stunned.

I almost dropped the ballpoint pen in my hand.

"What?"

"Didn't you hear me?" Chen Yang tapped the table, his voice soft but steady. "I said, do it all once."

The fat man scoffed, spitting sunflower seed shells all over the ground: "What are you pretending to be, acting all high and mighty? Do you even know how much this menu costs? Selling both of you wouldn't even cover a fraction of it!"

The train conductor realized what was happening and his face darkened: "Sir, don't joke around. This meal will cost over four thousand. If you try to dine and dash, the train police station is right ahead."

"Who's joking with you?"

Chen Yang took out his phone and displayed the payment code.

They shoved the screen right in front of the train conductor's face.

"sweep."

The train attendant took out the barcode scanner with some skepticism.

"drop--"

A crisp, pleasant electronic sound rang out loudly in the quiet dining car.

Immediately afterwards, the barcode scanner dispensed a long receipt.

Payment successful: 4280.00 yuan.

The fat man's mocking smile froze, and the sunflower seed shells in his hand hung in mid-air.

The heavily made-up woman's mouth was agape in an "O" shape.

The train conductor's attitude instantly changed completely upon seeing the long ticket; his face broke into a wide grin, and he bent over like a shrimp.

"Alright! Brother, please wait a moment! Sit down! Um... pour me some tea! Get the best tea leaves!"

"Kitchen! Big job! A full banquet!"

This shout startled everyone in the carriage.

Chen Yang leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs.

Cool.

That's fucking awesome.

Is this what you call money power?

The food was served very quickly.

Before long, the table was overflowing, and plates began to be stacked on top of each other.

That "zongzi" (rice dumpling) was dumbfounded.

She glanced at Chen Yang cautiously, as if to confirm if it was true.

"Eat," Chen Yang said, offering only one word.

next second.

The foreign woman took off her gloves.

She didn't even use chopsticks—probably because she didn't know how—and just grabbed a braised pig's trotter with her hands.

Chen Yang originally thought she would eat in a mess.

But he was wrong.

Even in this state of extreme hunger, her movements still exuded an indescribable efficiency.

Gnawing on bones, tearing meat, swallowing.

There was no smacking sound, and no sauce was smeared all over his face.

She ate extremely quickly, yet with an eerie elegance.

It was as if she were eating a royal banquet, not a train meal.

[Ding! Feeding successful!]

Determined consumption amount: 4280 yuan.

[Target's emotion detected: extreme pleasure (from receiving a large amount of high-calorie food).]

[Triggered a "long-awaited rain after a drought" critical hit!]

Critical Hit Multiplier: 100x!

[Rebate amount: 428,000.00 yuan has been credited to your account!]

Four hundred and twenty thousand!

Chen Yang's hand holding the teacup trembled violently, and he didn't even notice the scalding tea spilling out.

A meal led to the purchase of a car?

His gaze changed as he looked at the foreign woman wrestling with braised pork.

This foreign girl needs to be pampered with good food and drinks.

"belch--"

Half an hour later, the foreign girl let out a satisfied burp, leaned back in her chair, and half-closed her bright blue eyes, like a cat basking in the sun.

The plates on the table were 80% empty.

Chen Yang then called the train conductor.

The fat man was about to slip away in the chaos when he heard Chen Yang call for help, and he instinctively stopped.

"Brother, is there anything else you need?" The train conductor now looked at Chen Yang as if he were his own father.

"It's too noisy and smelly in the hard seat area."

Chen Yang pointed to the end of the carriage, "Are there any of those deluxe sleeper compartments with private bathrooms left?"

"Yes! Definitely! But the ticket price..."

"How much?"

"Now it costs more than six thousand per person."

"It's alright, not expensive."

Chen Yang showed his payment code again, "Rent a room, now."

The fat man, who had been about to swear a few more times to get back at the fat man, fell completely silent after hearing this.

A deluxe sleeper compartment costs over ten thousand yuan for two people for a trip.

Although he dresses like a nouveau riche, it's just to save face. If you actually made him spend over ten thousand to sleep with someone, that would be like tearing his flesh out.

"drop--"

And there it was again, that crisp sound of payment success.

Chen Yang stood up and took the foreign woman's hand, which was still a little oily.

Her hands were cold, but soft.

"Come on, let me take you to sleep."

Without any hesitation, the foreign girl obediently stood up and followed him step by step.

In her simple logic: anyone who gives her meat is a good person.

Chen Yang didn't turn around to look at the fat man.

When you are standing on the rooftop, you cannot hear the dogs barking downstairs.
