Huang Xiaolong, excitedly, dragged Su Xiaoman out of the fast-food restaurant, and Deng Wei followed them out with a grim face.

Su Xiaoman closed the store door.

“Sister Xiaoman, I heard you mention that ‘Emperor’s Hotel’, so many good foods… You haven’t eaten there, neither have I, great! Let’s eat there today!” Huang Xiaolong was thrilled.

On the train to Binhai, Huang Xiaolong encountered Hong Quantao, who was critically ill with cirrhosis, saved his life, and out of gratitude Hong Quantao gave Huang Xiaolong a supreme card.

With this supreme card, Huang Xiaolong could freely consume in any hotel under Hong Quantao.

Huang Xiaolong had seen the supreme card; the logo of the “Emperor’s Hotel” was clearly printed on it.

“Little Long… that… that place is high-end…” Su Xiaoman stammered, “There’s no need for you to risk it trying to outdo Deng Wei who is irrelevant…”

“Sister Xiaoman, I am not trying to outdo him… I really just want to treat you to a nice meal…” Huang Xiaolong didn’t allow any further discussion, and pulled Su Xiaoman towards the parking area.

“Ridiculous! This country bumpkin is so full of himself…” Deng Wei opened the BMW door, got in, and then slowly followed Huang Xiaolong and Su Xiaoman.

“Well, I’ll play along today! I’m curious to see if you two dare to go to the ‘Emperor’s Hotel’! ”

Huang Xiaolong gripped Su Xiaoman and got into his BYD F3, then set the navigation on his phone and drove off.

“Little Long, you have a car?” Su Xiaoman asked curiously.

“Yes, I just moved to the city and made a good deal, bought this car from the profits.” Huang Xiaolong said proudly, “Sister Xiaoman, I’m quite capable, right?”

“Yes!” Su Xiaoman nodded seriously.

Soon, Huang Xiaolong arrived at the “Emperor’s Hotel”.

All the cars in the parking lot were luxury cars; even Deng Wei’s BMW 3-series looked unsightly compared to them.

Huang Xiaolong’s BYD F3 was even more out of place, looking painfully shabby.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t care, he parked the car, dragged Su Xiaoman, and ran into the hotel.

The hotel’s environment and architectural style were almost equivalent to a palace.

With 30 floors, it combined dining, accommodation, offices, and leisure or entertainment activities.

Dining here, one not only enjoyed unparalleled exquisite dishes in a lavish environment, but also a fantastic view of the beautiful Binhai.

To put it bluntly, dining here was not just about the food, but a lifestyle upgrade!

“Little Long… maybe… maybe, we should go somewhere else…” Su Xiaoman was pale with fear.

“No need… Sister Xiaoman, the food here must be delicious. Ah, I’m already hungry… Let’s go!” Huang Xiaolong, too impatient to wait, dragged Su Xiaoman into the hotel.

Contrary to Deng Wei’s guess, the hotel doorman did not kick Huang Xiaolong out. The staff of the five-star hotel were very professional.

The dining area was all reserved, so Huang Xiaolong had to choose a window seat in the lobby.

Time to order.

A tall and beautiful waitress in a blue and white porcelain cheongsam, handed the menu to Huang Xiaolong politely.

“Sister Xiaoman, do you want to order or should I?” Huang Xiaolong flipped through the menu.

To be honest, once she sat there, Su Xiaoman felt uncomfortable, not knowing where to put her hands and feet. On the other hand, Huang Xiaolong was calm and composed as usual.

“Little Long, you… you order…” Su Xiaoman said weakly.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t hold back, he shouted. “I’ll have this… Braised shark’s fin, ten of it! Original abalone also ten! Beijing flavored lobster ten! Clear soup of bird’s nest ten! And this Italian caviar pizza, also ten, I have never eaten foreign food…”

His order not only shocked Su Xiaoman but also stunned the waitress.

The bill for this meal must be hundreds of thousands, or they wouldn’t be able to leave the hotel!

“Sir… You… You ordered too much… Are you sure you’re not joking?” The waitress asked in horror.

“Are you worried that we can’t finish? No worries, we country people have a big appetite.” Huang Xiaolong flashed a toothy grin. “Hurry up, serve the food, I’m really hungry.”

“Well… okay…” The waitress nodded mechanically.

After all, she was just a worker. What the customer ordered and whether they can afford it didn’t concern her much.

Not far away, Deng Wei arrived, and he gaped at Huang Xiaolong and Su Xiaoman, “He is asking for trouble! Even I dare not eat like that… Is he planning to dine and dash? This is way too bold, isn’t it? Haha, take it easy… Let’s wait until they start eating… Today, I am in for some big fun!”

The service was fast, and in no time, the table was filled with glistening, appetizing, and delicious food, most of which Huang Xiaolong had never seen before.

“Sister Xiaoman, let’s eat!” Huang Xiaolong picked up a large lobster and put it in his mouth.

Su Xiaoman was extremely nervous, eating cautiously. She suspected that Huang Xiaolong brought her here to dine and dash. “Little Long… Did you check the prices on the menu when you ordered?”

“Oh, prices? Didn’t see, what’s the point of looking at prices when we are eating and drinking for free today?” While munching down, Huang Xiaolong replied, “Delicious, truly delicious…” Free?

Su Xiaoman’s heart sank.

Great, they really came here to dine and dash!

“It seems I may have to sell my fast-food restaurant… If that doesn’t work, I’m willing to stay here working as a dishwasher… ” Su Xiaoman was already planning to offset the dinner bill in this way.

At this time, Deng Wei led a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes over, and said, “Manager Meng, this time, you’ve got a big issue! Look at this peasant, he has ordered dishes worth hundreds of thousands… I kindly remind you, you might have run into a freeloader this time! How could this peasant, who didn’t even clean the mud off his shoes, afford it? I saw just now, he drives a BYD F3, just a service driver, right?”

When the man in the suit reached Huang Xiaolong and Su Xiaoman’s table, he was greatly taken aback by his first glance!

The dishes on the table were almost all premium dishes of the “Emperor Hotel”, the most expensive ones, which added up to several hundreds of thousands.

And clearly, Huang Xiaolong and Su Xiaoman didn’t look like wealthy people.

Especially Huang Xiaolong, with his wrinkled cotton shirt and patches all over. Wasn’t this the typical style of a migrant worker?

Angry!

The man in the suit was angry!

“Excuse me, I am the manager of the food and beverage department of the ‘Emperor Hotel’, Mr. Meng.” said the man in the suit, his face somewhat ferocious. “I would like to ask you two to pay the bill first.”

“Eh? Pay now?” Huang Xiaolong put down his chopsticks. “First pay, then eat, is this the rule here? When I used to eat in the county town, the rule was to eat first, then pay.”

“County town?!” The man in the suit was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, “Sorry, as Manager Deng said, dealing with a freeloader is really frustrating. As the manager of the food and beverage department, I also have to consider the interests of the hotel.”

“Ah, I see, you’re questioning whether Sister Xiaoman and I have the right to dine here, aren’t you?” Huang Xiaolong was a bit upset. He had planned to take Su Xiaoman for a nice meal to celebrate for her, but didn’t expect such an annoying person to interfere. They couldn’t even enjoy their meal in peace.

“Does it need to be questioned? Why don’t you take a piss and use it to look at your reflection?” Deng Wei scoffed at the side. “Xiaoman, this time, you’ve really got yourself into big trouble!”

“That…This…This…” Su Xiaoman stuttered, cold sweat pouring down her forehead.

“Please pay the bill immediately! Otherwise, I’ll have to call security!” Manager Meng roared.

“I’m dizzy…” Huang Xiaolong was unhappy with Manager Meng’s aggressive attitude. “You’re being too rude. Believe it or not, I’ll make a complaint about you and have your boss fire you.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha-???? Seeing this, Manager Meng laughed out of fury,

“That’s fine, just settle the bill first. If you want to complain about me, feel free.

Would you like me to give you my boss’s phone number? Ha-ha-ha-

“No need, I have your boss’s number.” Huang Xiaolong took out the Prestige Card that Hong Quantao had given him from his canvas bag and handed it to

Manager Meng. “Take a look at this card.”

“Card?” Manager Meng’s eyebrows knitted slightly. He took the card and examined it back and forth several times. His face became more solemn. “This…this…this kind of card…it seems our ‘Emperor Hotel’ has never issued this…”

“It must be a fake!” Deng Wei glared at Huang Xiaolong, “The real membership card looks like this! Take a good look!”

Having said that, he took out his own membership card and flaunted it proudly in front of Huang Xiaolong.

“Mine is not a membership card, it’s a prestige card,” said Huang Xiaolong.

This prestige card was privately issued by Hong Quantao, with only a few in existence. It was normal that people of Manager Meng’s level didn’t recognize the card.

“This…this…this card…should…should be a fake, right?” Manager Meng was uncertain, his attitude softened, cold sweat was dripping from his forehead the size of soybeans.

If he said that the card was fake, it might not necessarily be true, because the prestige card was rimmed with a gold edge and embedded with diamonds, it looked extraordinarily luxurious. If someone had wanted to forge it, they also wouldn’t have made it look so valuable.

“Forget it, forget it. So much trouble just for a meal. I’ll call Hong Quantao! I’m never coming to his restaurant again!” Huang Xiaolong, full of dissatisfaction, took out the private business card given by Hong Quantao, and dialed the phone number on it.

The phone was connected!

Similarly, inside the “Emperor Hotel”, in a luxuriously decorated private room that could be described as magnificent,

A group of dignified-looking people were sitting in the private room, chatting and drinking tea.

These people looked rich and influential, each of them having their own aura, conversing and discussing great things.

Hong Quantao and Zou Shi were both there.

At this time, Hong Quantao’s mobile phone rang.

“Oh? Who’s calling on my private phone?” Hong Quantao didn’t dare to ignore it. After all, the ones who knew his private number were not ordinary people.

Taking out his mobile phone, he saw the caller ID and his face turned pale all of a sudden. He promptly stood up, took a deep breath, answered the call with his trembling hand, and then, slightly leaning forward, said with utmost respect, “Divine Doctor, you… you called me, I don’t know… don’t know what… what it is about…”

Seeing Hong Quantao answering this phone call with such a respectful attitude, the private room immediately fell silent. Everyone looked at Hong Quantao with curious and puzzled expressions.

You should know, Hong Quantao owns several hotels in Binhai, including two five-star hotels, and has a net worth of over a billion. He is shrewd and has a wide range of connections, it is said that he has connections in both the legitimate and underground world. Once, a Director of the Health Bureau in the city tried to make things difficult for him, but ended up being schemed against by Hong Quantao.

It could be said that even if a city leader were to call him, Hong Quantao wouldn’t be so fearful over the phone, as if he was even willing to dispense with his dignity, essentially acting like a slave.

Who on earth had called this number?

Among all the people present, only Zou Shi had some guesses. His expression also changed, and he nervously asked, “Quantao… Divine Doctor, did…did he take the initiative to call you?”

Hong Quantao immediately signaled Zou Shi to be quiet with a gesture of fear.

On the other end of the phone, Huang Xiaolong’s voice was very dissatisfied.

“Boss Hong, was the Prestige card you gave me a fake? I am dining at your Emperor Hotel, and your food and beverage department’s Manager Meng is trying to kick me out… I am pissed!”

“What?!” Hong Quantao’s heart jumped. He quickly apologized. “Divine Doctor, you’re still at the restaurant, right? Don’t worry, don’t get angry, I’ll come right away… Manager Meng from the food and beverage department, right? Divine Doctor, calm down, I’ll be there to handle it.”

After hanging up the phone, Hong Quantao’s eyes glinted with a trace of fury, and he muttered to himself. “Manager Meng from the food and beverage department? Damn it! I’m going to kill you today!”
