Chapter 326 - Faang Ying Was Really Amazing
Shortly after, Xiao Ke'er received a text message.
“Milo Sunshine.”
She glanced at the content of the message.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming nodded in recognition.
He was aware that Milo Sunshine was an exceptionally renowned Western restaurant with a high level of expenditure. And if he wasn't mistaken, this restaurant was located within the Black Plum complex.
Driving along, Faang Ying couldn't help but smirk to himself. He had learned something interesting during his conversation with Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen's brother-in-law was merely a farmer, whereas Faang Ying's family ranked among the top 100 wealthiest in the nation.
Xiao Chen, noticing Faang Ying's smug look, silently amused himself with the thought. Mr. Su did indeed work the land, but he did so in the heart of the city. His farmland spanned 11 acres, with an additional acre for his residence. This 12-acre plot was exceedingly valuable. Even more impressive were Mr. Su's possessions, which included a variety of precious herbs, antiques, jade, and calligraphy by renowned artists. The fact that Mr. Su owned such a prime piece of land at his young age was a testament to his extraordinary status.
?Xiao Chen had deliberately withheld details to set a trap for Faang Ying, who was brimming with overconfidence. If Faang Ying knew Xiao Chen's true thoughts, he would be absolutely livid.
They soon reached their destination. Faang Ying and company waited outside for a moment before a truck rolled up slowly. Faang Ying stepped aside, continuing to scan the road. Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw Xiao Chen.
“What's up?” Faang Ying asked, a hint of bewilderment in his voice.
“My sister has arrived,” Xiao Chen said cheerfully.
At that, Faang Ying's brow furrowed. He hadn't caught sight of Xiao Ke'er. Craning his neck, he peered around, but the truck was obstructing his view. Growing impatient, he said, “Move the truck out of the way, will you?”
But before he could finish his demand, he was struck speechless. Xiao Ke'er emerged from the truck's passenger side. Faang Ying stood there, completely taken aback. Xiao Ke'er had actually stepped out from the truck!
Faang Ying's eyes twitched uncontrollably.
?He was at a loss for words.
“Let's go grab some food,” Xiao Chen suggested cheerfully from behind.
Faang Ying blinked in surprise, then realized, “Kemeng, you actually arrived in a truck?”
Xiao Ke'er responded, “Ah, Young Master Faang. Thanks for the invitation.”
“It's no big deal—we're friends after all,” Faang Ying replied with a slight smile, his demeanor softening.
Su Ming stood at the entrance, surveying the restaurant.
He was right; this was one of the 100 restaurants on his list.
“I've never been to Milo Sunshine before,” Su Ming commented with a smile.
Faang Ying's spirits lifted at the remark.
Now was his chance to impress!
Su Ming had never been to Milo Sunshine!
And yet, he dared to woo Xiao Ke'er!
“Milo Sunshine is a renowned Western restaurant with top-notch fare, though it's a bit pricey. Many people never get the chance to dine here in their lifetime.”
Faang Ying's confidence seemed to swell.
He stepped forward, chest puffed out with pride.
“This is the only Milo Sunshine in Eastsea City. It's frequented by many VIPs, and reservations are booked until next year.”
“Luckily, I'm acquainted with the owner. Let's head in and eat.”
Faang Ying strutted inside, hands clasped behind his back, portraying himself as a successful man with extensive connections.
Little did he know, the three people trailing behind him looked on as if he were a simpleton.
Actually, Su Ming meant to imply that he owned the restaurant, despite never having visited.
Faang Ying was oblivious to Su Ming's implication.
He was brimming with self-satisfaction, eager to astonish Su Ming.
Faang Ying had managed to secure a reservation only with someone else's help, unaware that it was Su Ming's approval of Mei Shu's request that had secured their spot.
The group entered.
Su Ming took in the surroundings.
“This place is quite nice.”
What Su Ming left unsaid was, “It's just as I would expect of my own restaurant.”
But Faang Ying, hearing this, felt a surge of happiness.
“The ambiance is actually just average. If you're free later on, I can show you around some more.”
Su Ming offered a smile. “I really appreciate it. It's thanks to you that I got to dine in such a fine restaurant.”
Faang Ying, upon hearing this, swelled with pride.
He held his head high, convinced that Su Ming was about to give up his pursuit of Xiao Ke'er.
Meanwhile, in the bustling hall, General Manager Lee Dahai was attending to guests. The clientele here were all high-profile individuals. Lee Dahai presented them with signature dishes and handed out his business card.
Amidst his duties, a commotion at the entrance caught his attention. He turned to look and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. It was none other than the new Chairman, Mr. Su Ming!
?Lee Dahai blinked rapidly in disbelief. The Chairman himself had come to dine here! Without a moment's hesitation, Lee Dahai, accompanied by the restaurant's manager and head waiter, made a beeline for Su Ming, a radiant smile plastered on his face.
Faang Ying, basking in his own delight, was taken aback as he saw a group approaching him. He glanced at their name tags, mistakenly thinking that the restaurant's general manager had come to greet him personally.
