Wei Zhao phoned Feng Sanmang and told him to head for the "Arctic Ocean Seafood Restaurant." Feng Sanmang's car had a navigation system, so finding it would be easy enough; all Wei Zhao and the others had to do was follow his business van.
"Xiaoshu, you're wicked, you know that? The Arctic Ocean Seafood Restaurant is anything but cheap—word is it runs tens of thousands per head..." Gu Mengyao said.
"Pfft... didn't you say a meal there costs tens of thousands?" Wei Zhao was startled.
"That's right—tens of thousands for one person's meal. Zhang Duopan was too dense to ask for clarification," Shen Yushu said with a nod.
"..." He Meiyue, Chai Xiaoling, and Wang Xinyan all glanced at Shen Yushu, cold sweat breaking out down their backs in unison. This girl was a little too vicious...
The three cars pulled up one after another at the entrance of the Arctic Ocean Seafood Restaurant, and Xu Shilan and Cheng Yiyi resumed the layered, mummified disguises they had worn the night before, so that no one could tell who they were from appearances alone.
Zhang Duopan got out of the car, took one look at the sign and facade of the Arctic Ocean Seafood Restaurant, and was frightened half to death. A building this lavish, like something out of a palace—how could he ever afford to eat here?
Then he looked at the cars by the entrance: apart from sports cars, there were Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, and other luxury vehicles, none of them under a million. That set Zhang Duopan's nerves on edge at once.
But he had already come this far and could not back out now, so he could only grit his teeth and walk into the restaurant with Fan Ganhe.
The moment they stepped inside, the whole group was received with warm hospitality—a row of waiters bowed and greeted them enthusiastically, and a dedicated male and female receptionist led everyone to the ordering hall to choose dishes. Service like that was worth a fair sum in itself, and it made Zhang Duopan regret all the more that he had come here!
It looked like he really was going to have to play the big spender today.
In the ordering hall, enormous aquarium tanks lined the walls, filled with a dazzling array of every kind of live seafood, giving everyone the feeling of stepping into an aquarium. Of course, the price tags pasted on the tanks were no small matter either—practically everything started at ten thousand yuan and went up from there. Zhang Duopan nearly lost his footing and crashed to the floor!
How was this a meal that cost tens of thousands? If a few people ate here, it would come to at least several hundred thousand!
"Ha, this place is nice enough. Tell me, what's the average spend per person here?" Zhang Duopan's heart was bleeding, but he kept up a casual, offhand manner as he inquired of the waiter taking their order.
"For seafood, about seventy or eighty thousand, sir," the ordering waiter said.
"What?" Zhang Duopan was stunned. Seventy or eighty thousand for one person—Shen Yushu really knew how to sink a man! He was just about to say something when Shen Yushu spoke up instead.
"Seventy or eighty thousand for one person's meal—that's not so expensive, is it, Sister Yaoyao?" Shen Yushu said.
"..." Zhang Duopan was speechless. So what she had meant earlier was seventy or eighty thousand per person?
Zhang Duopan's heart had already begun to twitch. He was calculating how, if he came up short later, he might finagle some money out of his old man. As he thought, he mentally put Shen Yushu on his grudge list. Sure, Shen Yushu had a cute little face and big breasts, but in Zhang Duopan's eyes she was a little demon, and if he ever got the chance, he would not let this girl off easy.
