Seeing that he had set the time and place, Su Mengdie felt relieved and even her expression softened a lot.
She knew very well that in this world, wealthy people were the real scarce resources, especially young wealthy people - this was evident from the fact that she had been live streaming for a whole year as a freshman and had not met a real big brother.
So meeting Chen Ming tonight might be her only chance during her university years, success or failure depends on it...
If she couldn't seize this opportunity to achieve financial freedom, she estimated that she would definitely regret it in the future...
So she replied, "Okay, see you there," and hurried off to shower, change clothes, put on makeup, and do her hair, ready to be in top form to meet Chen Ming...
At the same time, Chen Ming on the other side was not nervous at all, and continued to send messages to Liu Rushuang calmly - he was about to send it just now, but was interrupted by Su Mengdie's friend request.
[Rushuang, I'm done. Have you eaten?]
Liu Rushuang is currently contacting well-known composers and professional arrangement teams on her computer—top musicians need to save up a year's pocket money to be able to afford them.
So she planned to spend 200 million to find a professional team to create an album to test the waters and achieve some results.
I’ll wait until next year when I’ve saved enough money, and then I’ll look for top musicians.
This album will also be her stepping stone to the music industry, so Liu Rushuang attaches great importance to it.
Suddenly, the phone next to her rang with a message alert, which made her stunned for a moment and then quickly picked up the phone - because this alert was set specifically for Chen Ming, because she was afraid that she might miss the message from her man.
When she saw that the message sent by Chen Ming was just a normal greeting, she did not feel disappointed. On the contrary, she felt that it was a good thing as long as the other party was willing to send her a message - the senior was so nice and kept his promise!
Liu Rushuang quickly replied: [I've already had lunch and am contacting the professional team now... I have classes this afternoon, so I'll be home right after class...]
After seeing Liu Rushuang's message, Chen Ming started chatting with her casually. Of course, in order to be fair, he also sent messages to Shen Qingyao, Chen Suyan and Li Xiangling at the same time to avoid favoritism.
As for Han Xueyi, she was sitting on the sofa nearby and there was no need to send a message to contact him.
Chen Ming rested his head comfortably on her snow-white and tender thighs while cultivating relationships with the beautiful girls on his phone. He was so happy - of course, he would stand up and move around every half an hour to prevent Han Xueyi's legs from getting numb from resting his head for too long...
It was not until after five in the afternoon that Chen Ming got up and prepared to go out.
Han Xueyi knew that he was going to find a new harem, and originally planned to stay at home and wait obediently.
But Chen Ming remembered that her last assist was very powerful, so he said to her: "Go change your clothes and go out with me!"
Even if this stunning beauty stood aside and said nothing, she could still give Chen Ming face and improve the efficiency of his strategy...
"Okay sir!"
Han Xueyi nodded happily and immediately ran upstairs to change clothes.
Although she was aware of her status as a canary and was willing to stay at home and wait for Chen Ming to come home, it would naturally be better if Chen Ming was willing to take her with him!
After changing her translucent Hanfu, which was ready to eat right out of the box, into a dignified and elegant Hanfu, Han Xueyi obediently followed Chen Ming out...
The two drove and soon arrived at an izakaya called Yamakawa Fugetsu.
When it comes to drinking, the protagonists of many rich novels will think of bars and nightclubs first, and then happen to meet a heroine who is untainted by the mud and pure but not coquettish, so they immediately buy a dragon suit.
Then, by chance, a young master from a certain wealthy family comes along and falls for the heroine. Jealousy ensues, and a fight breaks out. The bar's security guard calls in, and discovers that the young master is a gold member of the bar, so the security guard decides to help the young master bully the protagonist.
In the end, the protagonist spends millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions to become a diamond member, attracts the bar owner, fires the security guard on the spot, slaps the villain in the face, and wins the beauty...
The plot is full of ups and downs, so it is no problem to write tens of thousands of words. It can also lay the groundwork for the subsequent confrontation with the villain's family.
But Chen Ming is more cautious. As the saying goes, one should not stay in a place of trouble for too long. He always stays away from places like bars and nightclubs that are prone to cause trouble.
So the place he chose to drink was a famous izakaya in Ling'an City.
After entering, Chen Ming discovered that there were indeed very few people inside. There were only a few tables of people eating, drinking and chatting.
Su Mengdie had arrived early and sent a message saying that she was sitting on the second floor.
After going up to the second floor and looking around, Chen Ming soon saw a beautiful girl with twin ponytails wearing a college-style dress and white stockings, sitting alone by the floor-to-ceiling window.
The Ukiyo-e screen cuts the warm yellow light into tiny spots of light.
Since her overall beauty was a whopping 89 points, just shy of reaching the "Alluring" level, her figure and appearance were naturally very attractive. Simply sitting there quietly had already attracted the attention of several men sitting at nearby tables, who frequently pretended to glance in her direction...
If this were a bar or nightclub, someone would have definitely gone up and struck up a conversation – after all, the bar atmosphere itself encourages people who are attracted to each other to communicate and share a table. As long as both parties are satisfied with the conversation, they will basically leave together after the conversation and continue to communicate in depth...
But the restaurant is a place for eating, so most diners are relatively restrained and do not choose to go up and disturb them directly.
A boy at the next table adjusted the position of his Rolex Green Submariner, which he bought for 450 yuan, on his wrist for the third time, picked up his sake cup, and deliberately "accidentally" dropped the key to his rented Porsche on the table.
The friend sitting across from him understood what he was saying and responded in unison, "Brother Wang, your income is pretty high in our industry." He deliberately raised his voice and asked, "I heard you just paid full price for your Panamera last week?"
"It's just a means of transportation."
The man scratched his shaved chin as his phone screen lit up with a transfer notification—a timed reminder he'd set in advance. His account balance displayed a carefully edited seven-digit number. "Cross-border trade these days is all about cash flow. I just paid a 300,000 yuan deposit to the Vietnamese factory yesterday..."
Then, he used his bony fingers to tap on the mining machine data that did not exist at all on the virtual APP, and his good brother gave exaggerated praise at the right time.
They didn't notice that Su Mengdie had turned her phone upside down on the table, and the lock screen was still on the anti-fraud APP's prompt page.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the night drizzle wove a dazzling web of color under the neon lights. The izakaya head waiter, his head bent as he wiped the bar, thought of the fourth group of people who had used similar tactics in the past two months. They always chose Wednesdays, member's day, to enjoy the 50%-off set meals, but always spent a long time haggling over the split at the checkout...
The two of them were there, one praising the other, and the topic shifted from cross-border trade to blockchain investment, to shorting US stocks, and predicting circuit breakers...
In short, they talked about anything that could make money, intending to use this method to attract Su Mengdie's attention and lay the foundation for asking for contact information later.
Because from the moment Su Mengdie entered the Japanese restaurant, they suddenly felt a pounding heart, and the smell of first love filled the air.
They even prepared the persona of the rich second generation, which is also their usual trick to deceive ignorant girls - as long as they pretend to be the rich second generation, there is a high probability that they can take the girls to high-end hotels for coffee.
This kind of thing doesn’t cost much!
At that time, their friends will deliberately call each other "Mr. So-and-so" to raise their status.
Then the brothers prepared their belongings and pretended to play cards for fun. When they won or lost, they transferred large sums of money to each other in front of the girl. After the game was over, the money won or lost was returned in full.
In such an elaborately designed immersive theater, if you only want a one-night stand, it is easy for such a young beauty to be deceived.
However, Su Mengdie remained indifferent.
It’s not that I didn’t hear their big talk, but I simply ignored it.
She suffers from "male phobia" and will only try to overcome her fear if the man is a real big brother like Chen Ming who has been carefully selected by her good sisters.
It is difficult to tell whether the self-boasting rich second-generation guy at the next table is real or fake. Even if she meets him in normal times, she will ignore him out of fear that he is a liar.
Not to mention that today is the critical moment to meet Chen Ming, how can there be any unnecessary complications?
At this moment, Su Mengdie, who had been staring at the stairs, suddenly saw Chen Ming walking up the stairs and immediately waved to him.
Seeing this, Chen Ming immediately walked over and sat down directly opposite Su Mengdie, while Han Xueyi sat quietly beside him.
At this time, the men who were paying close attention to this side also knew that the person the beautiful girl was waiting for had arrived. They saw that the man who came for the appointment had an ordinary appearance and was of average height. For a moment, everyone had the same idea at the same time - this man must be very rich or powerful, otherwise it would be impossible for two beautiful girls to be willing to accompany him for dinner alone.
Because society is so realistic, and beauties often only belong to the strong!
In modern society, personal bravery has been weakened to the extreme, and money and power are the only yardsticks for measuring the strong.
The situation where two beautiful girls eat with a poor man is only seen in the early stages of traditional novels, and the protagonist must also be a strong person in the later stages...
Seeing this, the good brother at the next table whispered to his friend: "Lao Wang, here comes an even more beautiful goddess..."
He stopped calling him Brother Wang and just called him Old Wang, causing the boy who was called Old Wang to roll his eyes and say, "I'm not blind, I can see."
The good brother whispered again: "So are we still going to get the contact information?"
Lao Wang glared at him and said unhappily, "What else do you want? Are you competing with Brother Fu for assets or connections? These two beauties must have had their standards raised by Brother Fu. Let's not embarrass ourselves with our meager fees. Let's pay the bill and leave!"
After the two of them whispered, they hurriedly got up, paid the bill and left.
Su Mengdie never expected that Chen Ming did not come alone, but brought with him a stunning beauty of the same level as Liu Rushuang!
As the saying goes, it's a bad omen to bring guests with you. This is obviously very impolite and will be very detrimental to her making conditions later.
But then again,
For Su Mengdie, who suffers from "male phobia", being alone with a man like Chen Ming is something that requires great courage.
Now that I have another girl to accompany me, I feel a lot more relaxed.
So although Su Mengdie was surprised, she smiled on the surface and said politely, "Senior, nice to meet you again. Come, let me toast you first..."
After saying that, the girl opened the sake that had been ordered long ago, took out a cup and poured it for him, then raised her own cup as if to clink glasses with him.
"Drinking on an empty stomach is bad for your health, eat something first!"
Chen Ming didn't rush to drink. Instead, he picked up some food and asked calmly, "Tell me! What do you want to do when you ask me out?"
Since the other party took the initiative to invite him, Chen Ming naturally sat back and took advantage of the situation.
Seeing that he didn't raise his cup but instead got straight to the point, Su Mengdie paused for a moment, then put her cup down. After a moment's hesitation, she stood up and closed the sliding door. (The booths at this kind of Japanese restaurant are all small private rooms, and the sliding door had been left open just now because she was waiting for Chen Ming.)
After sitting down, she mustered up the courage to say:
"Senior, I actually learn vocal music just to make money. I don't have the dream of becoming a singer like Rushuang does..."
"But it's too hard to make money just by singing. After a year of hard work, I've been live-streaming and singing every morning, afternoon, and evening whenever I have time. My throat is sore from singing. The gifts I receive each month are only tens of thousands of yuan, and half of that is deducted by the platform. I even have to pay taxes, so the actual amount I take home is just over 10,000 yuan..."
"So, Senior, I don't want to work hard anymore!"
Before Chen Ming arrived, he had already guessed Su Mengdie's reason for asking him out. After all, the biggest advantage he showed Liu Rushuang and her three roommates was his wealth, so she must have come looking for him for money! It couldn't be because of his age, right?
But he didn't expect the beautiful girl to be so blunt. He replied with amusement, "There are so many people who don't want to work hard. I can't help them all, right?"
Chen Ming is now in an advantageous position and does not need to reveal his needs at all. He can just let the girls speak for themselves.
Hearing his words while pretending to be ignorant, Su Mengdie suddenly complained in her heart and her expression changed for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal. She just looked at him with a rather resentful look and said, "Senior, you must understand what I mean, right? But since you want me to speak first, then I will say it straight out. I want to be treated the same as Rushuang..."
Chapter 103: Going to World No. 1
After Su Mengdie finished speaking, she looked at Chen Ming with anticipation in her eyes...
Seeing that this girl actually relied on her desire for money to suppress her "male phobia", Chen Ming was immediately in awe - awesome, a medical miracle!
No wonder there is a saying: There is only one disease in the world, and that is poverty!
Money really can cure all diseases, even psychological problems can be overcome!
Chen Ming has never heard of any rich second-generation suffering from depression. If there is, it must be because he does not have enough money.
Logically speaking, Su Mengdie has already taken the initiative to express her needs.
Chen Ming only needed to nod to have her, but he was cautious after all and wanted to confirm one thing. So he said with a straight face, "According to my investigation, you are suffering from [male phobia], right? If you follow me, you will need to interact with men every day. Will you be unable to bear it and violently hurt others?"
?
Upon hearing this, Su Mengdie's eyes widened, and she looked at Chen Ming in disbelief. She thought she had concealed her condition well, and none of her classmates or teachers had noticed, except for the psychiatrist she had seen before...
Wait, did the hospital leak the information? What happened to the promise of protecting patient privacy?
But think about it, as the saying goes, money can make the gods work, and money can make the devil work. For seniors, it should be easy to investigate a person's basic information!
Maybe he just made a phone call on the way here and checked all her information!
Thinking of this, Su Mengdie was relieved immediately. She wanted to explain to Chen Ming properly, but she was afraid that she would be too clumsy and push the matter to an irreversible direction. So after hesitating for a long time, she sighed and said weakly:
"Yes, Senior, you are right. I do suffer from [Androphobia]. There is a story behind this. If you are interested, I can tell you in detail later..."
Since Chen Ming already knew, she simply admitted it honestly. After a pause, she promised, "But what I want to say now is, please give me a chance, senior. I will definitely slowly cure my mental illness!"
"This is why I came to you for help—I can have the money to slowly cultivate my body and mind, and I can also have close contact with seniors frequently, gradually eliminating my [male phobia]. And all of this requires money and free time..."
After hearing this, Chen Ming suddenly realized that she was treating him as a good medicine to cure her illness - his money could provide the conditions for recuperation, and his body could be used as a prop for rehabilitation training.
Killing two birds with one stone, it’s truly a win-win situation. She wins twice!
Of course, Chen Ming won’t lose anything either, because he has more money than he can spend anyway!
给龙紫萱第二次治疗的3亿医疗费已经到账,加上原本的7亿6500万,如今的余额已经增加至——10亿6500万!
While Su Mengdie was making money, Chen Ming could earn joyful divine power. While Su Mengdie was treating [male phobia] through the patch, Chen Ming could also gain happiness...
This is a true win-win situation, both parties win twice!
Thinking back, Chen Ming still looked calm and composed, as if everything was under his control. He said casually:
"That's right! You should be honest, it's better for everyone... I see your determination to get better, and I can give you a chance... But here, women of different levels of beauty are treated differently, so it's impossible for you to get the same treatment as Rushuang. She's at the Allure level, so she only gets 40 yuan per month in pocket money. A campus beauty like you only gets 20 yuan per month..."
Chen Ming is a principled person. The rules set before will not be changed. Unless there is severe inflation in the future, causing money to depreciate significantly, the amount of pocket money will not change.
Such clear standards can also avoid conflicts in the harem caused by favoritism.
Han Xueyi, standing by, revealed a look of understanding, thinking to herself: No wonder Qingyao and Suyan only have 20 yuan in pocket money per month. The truth turns out to be so simple...
Thinking of this, she hid her hands under the table and began typing flexibly, announcing this discovery in the group chat of "Chen Ming's Harem Garden".
Su Mengdie was stunned when she heard this.
What are "alluring level" and "school beauty level"? They sound impressive!
