By extracting their desires for blind dates, I became the richest man.

Xie Yun sat upright on the soft leather sofa.

Her fox-like eyes, with their exquisitely drawn eyeliner, never left Chen Qiu's face.

In my line of sight, Chen Qiu looked at his phone screen, his two handsome, sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Xie Yun's beautiful eyes turned slightly.

A fleeting, knowing smugness flashed across his eyes.

"Can't keep up the act anymore, can you?"

She sneered inwardly.

Immediately, Xie Yun adjusted her posture, leaning her upper body slightly forward.

Her impressive cleavage was faintly visible beneath the silk camisole.

Her red lips were slightly upturned, forming a perfect and gentle curve.

Her voice was soft, carrying just the right amount of concern, as she asked gently:

"Mr. Chen, why haven't you ordered yet?"

"Is there something you don't like?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiu didn't even lift his eyelids.

He tapped the screen twice with his finger to reply to Yu Yalin's message.

Then, he spoke in a flat tone.

"oh."

"It's something related to work."

Upon hearing this answer...

Xie Yun's expression instantly became even more concerned.

It even carries a hint of understanding and thoughtfulness.

"Did I disturb you?"

"Why don't you go ahead and get back to work?"

That was well said.

But in her heart, she sneered repeatedly, feeling utterly contemptuous.

Work?

What kind of job?

Replying to messages at this time, acting like you're extremely busy, does it really make you think you're some kind of domineering CEO from a novel?

Just say it's too expensive!

If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. Why make up such a lame excuse?

Xie Yun's gaze swept over Chen Qiu's angular, handsome, and flawless face once again.

And those broad shoulders and the faint outline of his pectoral muscles.

She sighed inwardly.

With such good looks and a great physique, why would someone choose to be a con artist who cheats people out of money and sex?

Even if it means lowering oneself to become a male model in high-end clubs.

With such top-notch facilities, he might have already hooked up with some lonely rich woman and avoided taking thirty years of detours!

Why put on a show of wealth when you're not?

Xie Yun genuinely felt sorry for Chen Qiu's appearance and figure.

This is an absolute waste.

Just as Xie Yun was filled with disdain and wildly imagining things...

Chen Qiu pressed the lock screen button on her phone.

"Smack."

He casually placed his phone face down on the solid wood dining table.

"fine."

Chen Qiu raised his head to meet Xie Yun's gaze, his voice steady.

"There was a minor hiccup, but it's all been dealt with."

After saying that, he picked up the thick, gold-embossed menu again.

Xie Yun saw this.

I knew I couldn't let him delay any longer.

We must take the initiative and put this poor guy in the hot seat!

She quickly spoke, her tone warm and familiar.

"Oh, right!"

"I did my research on restaurants before I came here."

"I've heard that their black truffle and beef tartare, as well as their premium caviar blue lobster, are all delicious."

"Shall we try some?"

Xie Yun blinked her big eyes, looking innocent and expectant.

Of course, she did it on purpose!

She did do her research before coming.

But what she made wasn't some guide on whether something tastes good or not.

She made a guide to determine which dishes were the most expensive at this restaurant!

The names of the dishes she just casually mentioned.

The price of each dish is clearly followed by four zeros!

All of them are signature dishes that start at four figures!

These few dishes alone add up to several thousand yuan!

As for whether this dish is delicious or not?

Xie Yun had no idea.

She doesn't care at all.

Her only goal now is to see it with her own eyes.

How will Chen Qiu, this penniless swindler, manage to cover up the fact that the dishes cost several thousand yuan?

Is it an excuse about a seafood allergy? Or is it a pretext that they've been having stomach problems lately?

however.

Reality, however, gave her a resounding slap in the face.

Under Xie Yun's expectant gaze, ready to see a joke unfold.

Chen Qiu's face showed not the slightest bit of pain, embarrassment, or emotion.

He merely glanced at the dishes on the menu.

Then, close the menu.

His tone was as calm as if he had just ordered a bowl of ramen at a roadside noodle shop.

"Then let's order two of each!"

The words fell.

The private room fell silent instantly.

Xie Yun's smile froze instantly.

She froze in her seat.

His pupils contracted slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

You just ordered it?!

Didn't even ask the price? Didn't even frown?

This...this is completely different from the script she had envisioned!

and.

What did he just say?

Two servings?!

That meal would easily cost over ten thousand!

This sudden change.

Xie Yun's scheming mind was momentarily stunned into not being able to react.

The system crashed.

"No...we don't need two portions, do we?"

Xie Yun stammered as she spoke.

That aura of superiority and domineering older sister she had just exuded instantly crumbled.

however.

At that moment, Chen Qiu, who was sitting opposite her, gave her a perfectly gentle smile.

His deep eyes seemed to hold endless doting affection.

He looked at Xie Yun and said calmly:

"I won't allow any woman I go on a blind date with to not have enough to eat!"

A deep voice, domineering lines.

It exploded right next to Xie Yun's ear.

Xie Yun's mind went blank.

I was completely stunned.

No!

Where does this inexplicable domineering CEO vibe come from?!

This sentence sounds like a line directly copied from those old Mary Sue brainless sweet romance novels!

That's so embarrassing!

However, this was complemented by Chen Qiu's flawless handsome face and his calm and reserved demeanor.

It actually created an undeniable illusion in people!

Xie Yun's heart skipped a beat.

but.

Chen Qiu's performance, however, is far from over.

He didn't even look at the prices on the menu.

He turned his head and looked at the waiter who had been standing to the side for a long time.

Chen Qiu stretched out his slender fingers and casually pointed at the menu.

"waiter."

"This, this, and this."

"Bring two servings of each!"

He did not hesitate at all.

Wherever your fingertips land, you'll find dishes marked "market price" or the most expensive top-tier dishes on the menu.

Kuku randomly clicked on some things.

It was as casual as buying cabbage at the market.

We ordered almost all of the expensive dishes on the menu!

This time.

Xie Yun was completely dumbfounded.

Cold sweat broke out on my back in a flash.

What's going on?!

The way you're pointing it out is a little scary!

Xie Yun roared wildly in her heart.

That little bit of probing thought from just now has long since vanished.

Instead, fear took its place!

This meal...

Those are the finest ingredients, plus the restaurant's exorbitant 15% service charge.

The total price will definitely be close to 30,000 or 40,000!

This is no small sum!

A terrible thought began to frantically grow in Xie Yun's mind.

That swindler... is he going to skip out on the bill later?!

That's right!

Absolutely!

First, act like a big spender and order a lot of food.

Once all the dishes were served, we had almost finished eating.

Make an excuse to go to the restroom or go outside to answer a phone call.

And then they were gone forever!

They simply vanished into thin air!

Finally, the exorbitant bill was forcefully dumped on the woman who remained in her seat!

Thinking about this, Xie Yun was truly frightened.

What if this swindler really runs away later?

She has so much money on her!

Even if she used her credit card, spending 30,000 to 40,000 yuan on a single meal would be enough to make this fake socialite feel the pinch and lose sleep for months!

She can't afford the bill!

"No, no, no!"

Xie Yun quickly waved her hand and hurriedly declined.

The voices all changed tone.

"Mr. Chen, that's too much!"

"This is way too much, and too expensive! There's no way the two of us can eat this much!"

"It wouldn't be good to waste it!"

All she wanted to do now was stop Chen Qiu's crazy behavior as quickly as possible.

however.

Chen Qiu simply smiled slightly.

He placed his hands on the table, crossed them, and leaned forward slightly.

His deep gaze met Xie Yun's flustered eyes.

"So that you can taste the flavor of every dish here."

Chen Qiu's voice was deep, carrying an undeniable certainty.

"This amount of money is nothing."

Once again, he's adopting the domineering CEO persona from Mary Sue novels!

Chen Qiu's domineering tone effectively shut down any excuses Xie Yun might have to refuse.

Xie Yun was not given any chance to refute.

only.

Only Chen Qiu himself knows the truth.

How awkward and difficult his acting is now.

These lines are too difficult to pronounce.

after all.

This "brainless domineering CEO" persona is something he's never played before.

To be able to say such rustic yet bold words in front of others without changing one's expression or sounding self-assured.

And you also have to act naturally.

Chen Qiu felt like she was using all her strength to keep her expression in check.

Their acting skills were put to an unprecedented test.

but.

The play must continue.

In order to short Xie Yun, and for the subsequent harvesting plan.

What's a little money for groceries?

Even if you only eat vegetables, even at the highest price, how much would that cost? At most, tens of thousands of yuan.

I'd rather spend more money here.

How can we convince those hundreds of obsessed viewers in Xie Yun's live stream that there really are such foolish, rich, and domineering top CEOs in this world who only care about winning a beautiful woman's smile?

How can we make their already distorted values ​​expand to the point of explosion?

Only by casting the bait big enough can the fish bite hard enough!

"Oh, right."

Chen Qiu ignored Xie Yun's fear.

He turned his head and looked at the waiter standing next to him, who was holding a device for ordering food.

Do you have any good champagne recommendations?

At this moment.

The waiter in the tuxedo was already so excited that his eyes were shining and his heart was pounding.

A big client!

This is definitely a top-tier client!

Just look at the long list of top-tier dishes Chen Qiu just ordered.

The total price, including the 15% service fee, amounts to several thousand yuan!

Including the commission at the end of last month, just from this one table, his bonus was several hundred yuan!

Given Chen Qiu's outrageously extravagant way of ordering food without even looking at the prices,

The waiter's courage grew instantly.

He knew that the man in front of him was not short of money at all!

What's lacking is prestige!

The waiter immediately stopped recommending ordinary drinks.

Bending slightly over.

Boldly, I directly recommended a top-tier champagne from the restaurant's cellar, priced at just over ten thousand yuan.

"gentlemen."

The waiter's tone was one of absolute respect and ingratiation.

"This Dom Pérignon P2 vintage champagne has a full-bodied taste and rich aroma, making it a perfect match for the premium seafood you just ordered."

"What do you think?"

More than 10,000 yuan a bottle!

Xie Yun's heart skipped a beat when she heard this from the other side.

however.

Chen Qiu merely glanced at the drinks menu handed to him by the waiter.

I didn't even read the details of the P2 model.

His gaze went straight past the bottles of liquor that cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars.

They precisely located the last page of the drinks menu.

That's the store's prized possession, located at the very top of the pyramid, the most expensive item, and usually almost ignored.

"Don't use P2."

Chen Qiu tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

His tone was as casual as if he were ordering a glass of water.

"Give me a bottle of P3 Rosé!"

These words were spoken.

The air in the private room seemed to freeze instantly.

Dom Pérignon P3 Rosé Champagne!

That's a luxury item in the world of champagne, a superb treasure that takes decades to age.

And on the drinks menu of this Wei Jie Western restaurant.

The price per bottle of this wine is clearly marked:

88888!

Eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight!

Upon hearing this name...

The waiter was stunned for a full two seconds.

Immediately, an uncontrollable surge of joy washed over his entire body!

Eighty-eight thousand taels of wine!

The commission from just this one bottle of wine is equivalent to half a month's salary for him!

The waiter was so excited that his hands were trembling slightly.

In that instant, his attitude towards Chen Qiu became ten times more respectful than he would towards his own father.

His waist was bent at almost a 90-degree angle.

"Yes, sir!"

The waiter's voice was loud and clear, full of energy.

"I'll go to the wine cellar right away to prepare decanting for you. Please have a moment!"

After saying that, the waiter, as if afraid that Chen Qiu would change his mind, quickly left the private room with excited little steps.

At this time.

Xie Yun was sitting opposite.

Upon hearing the name "P3 Peach Blossom," she instinctively reached out and opened the thick menu in front of her.

I flipped directly to the page on beverages.

His gaze swept over the area quickly.

moment.

Five glaring "8"s stared straight into her eyes.

88888!

Xie Yun's red lips parted slightly.

"hiss--"

She involuntarily gasped for breath, feeling a chill in her skin.

I just felt a chill run down my spine.

A bottle of wine, eighty thousand?!

The dishes we just ordered cost tens of thousands.

Add this bottle of wine.

This was a blind date lunch.

They ate over 100,000 yuan worth of food in one go?!

Xie Yun looked up in shock at Chen Qiu, who remained calm and collected, as if he had only spent a few dozen yuan.

The fortress of "reason" in my heart has finally begun to show huge cracks.

the first time.

She truly began to waver.

Is it...

Could it be that he wasn't faking it?

Is he really the legendary domineering CEO?

It's not a scam at all!

at the same time.

The hidden miniature camera is located on the shelf behind Xie Yun.

Because of Xie Yun's action of flipping through the menu just now.

The high-definition camera captured the prices of drinks on the menu in her hand perfectly.

In the live stream room.

Those hundreds of audience members who were originally arguing and hurling insults at each other about gender issues.

When they zoomed in on the screen.

Look closely at the five neat "8"s following the bottle of "Dom Pérignon P3 Rosé".

The entire bullet screen area.

A deathly silence fell instantly!

Not a single comment appeared.

A full five seconds passed.

The live stream room was deathly silent, as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped on it.

Once again, it was completely boiling over!
