On the beach not far away.

The smiles on the faces of the three girls who had been eagerly waiting for Meng Yuwei to call them over vanished completely.

The hot girl in the leopard-print bikini was especially furious.

"That vixen, I knew she was up to no good."

The girl in leopard print stomped her foot, her tone full of resentment, "We agreed that she would go scout ahead and then call everyone to come together. But instead, she went over there herself and acted like we weren't even there."

A girl in a pure white swimsuit next to me crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.

"Come on, is this the first time you've met Meng Yuwei? She's really hooked up with the richest guy now. Look at that guy, his mannerisms are top-tier. Meng Yuwei finally got her hands on such a big piece of meat, do you think she'd share even a drop of soup with us?"

The third short-haired girl wasn't much better; her tone was full of disdain.

"Look at her cheapskate attitude, she's practically glued to him, she's a disgrace to our art school. She acts like some high-class princess at school, but when she sees someone actually rich, she's the first to throw herself at them. Disgusting!"

The three of them cursed Meng Yuwei furiously, trying to vent their resentment with the most vicious words, but none of them dared to actually rush over and cause trouble.

"Forget it, if we really piss her off, she definitely won't give us any of those lucrative outdoor shoots or commercial performances anymore."

After the short-haired girl finished her rant, her anger subsided a bit, and she began to speak kindly to Meng Yuwei, clearly having considered the most crucial practical issue of self-interest.

Upon hearing this, the other two girls instantly deflated, completely losing their previous domineering and murderous aura.

Yes, everyone's out there trying to make money and profit.

Although Meng Yuwei's behavior was a bit unseemly, she did indeed have the necessary resources. The fact that they were able to get into those high-society gatherings and snag scraps was mostly thanks to Meng Yuwei.

If they really go and cause trouble, and anger Meng Yuwei, then they'll really be left with nothing but the northwest wind.

The leopard-print girl was clearly still angry. She bit her lower lip, even smudging a corner of her carefully applied lipstick. A hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, but in the end, she could only let out a helpless snort.

"Alright, stop looking. Even if you keep looking, that rich young master won't be ours."

The girl in the pure white swimsuit sighed, took out sunscreen spray from her bag, and sprayed it all over her body again. She didn't want her fair skin to get tanned.

Someone like Li Xiao, who is both young and rich, is someone you might not run into no matter how many times you come. And most of them come with their own companions, so they simply can't get in.

"Let's go, let's go back to our parasols, I don't want to get a tan."

The short-haired girl also went along with it, pulling the two of them around and walking back.

But in the instant they turned around, their gazes couldn't help but drift back to Meng Yuwei's receding figure.

Back under the parasol, the leopard-print girl slumped onto a beach chair, only to find that the mat, which usually looked quite decent, was now uncomfortable to the touch.

"No, we can't just sit here and be background noise."

The girl in the pure white swimsuit gulped down half a cup of warm water and then scanned the surrounding beach again.

"Atlantis is so big, and there's more than one rich young boss. Since Meng Yuwei is going to hog all the money, we need to find some targets ourselves. We can't just waste the several thousand we scraped together for the entrance fee."

Upon hearing this, the other two also roused themselves, pulling out powder compacts and lipsticks to touch up their makeup, attempting to search for their next prey on the beach.

After touching up their makeup, the three of them rallied and began to wander aimlessly on the beach.

Soon, the short-haired girl's eyes lit up.

"Hey, look over there!" She nudged the two people next to her with her elbow.

Following her gaze, one could see a bald, middle-aged man with a large belly lying under a parasol not far away.

Although his appearance was worlds apart from that of the young and handsome Li Shao from before, the highly recognizable Rolex Submariner on the man's wrist still caught the three women's attention.

"Although he's a bit old and a bit overweight, he's definitely a wealthy boss who doesn't lack money."

The leopard-print girl licked her lips, a fire rekindling in her eyes. The practical benefits instantly overshadowed her pickiness about appearance.

"Just consider it being taken advantage of by a pig; for the money, I did it!"

The girl in the pure white swimsuit immediately understood, deliberately pulling down the shoulder straps and forcing out what she thought was a perfect, sweet smile.

"Let's go borrow some sunscreen and have him buy us a drink while we're at it."

The three of them immediately adjusted their posture, swaying their slender waists and walking towards the middle-aged man with a fragrant breeze.

Meanwhile, inside the Ocean Blue Restaurant.

The restaurant's interior was extremely luxurious yet elegant, but what impressed Meng Yuwei the most was the huge cylindrical aquarium that ran through the entire floor in the center of the restaurant.

The azure seawater flowed slowly inside a specially made high-density acrylic panel, where thousands of rare fish swam and darted about. Meng Yuwei even spotted a shark inside.

Just this huge aquarium alone would cost at least eight figures.

Under the respectful guidance of the waiter, Li Xiao walked straight to the best viewing spot right next to the aquarium.

Meng Yuwei followed closely behind, and everything she saw shocked her.

This is the most upscale entertainment venue in Luhai City. The so-called rich second-generation boyfriends she used to hook up with only dared to sneak into the beach clubs outside, and would never be willing to take her in for a meal here.

She never expected that this young, wealthy man would bring her here to eat after only a few words with her.

At this moment, Meng Yuwei had only one thought in her mind: to win him over. If she could have a child with him, that would be even better. She wouldn't be his legal wife, but she would be set for life.

The waiter, dressed in a smart uniform, bowed slightly and handed two gold-trimmed leather menus to the two people.

"Order whatever you want to eat, don't try to save me money."

Meng Yuwei's heart skipped a beat, but when she opened the book with the gold-embossed cover, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but freeze for half a second.

This isn't a menu, it's blatant robbery, and legally at that.

Even a seemingly insignificant appetizer can cost more than half a month's living expenses.

As for the premium seafood and top-grade air-freighted steaks that are the main offerings, the prices have soared to five figures, with zeros following them that make people dizzy.

She now finally understood why her rich boyfriends didn't bring her along. The minimum spending was 10,000 yuan; they could probably only afford two appetizers here.
