Chapter 757 - 334: I’ll Go Take a Shower First, You Wait for Me

"All right, then."

Xu Song was still on the introverted side. He nodded shyly and, at his friend’s urging, agreed to have lunch with Xu Yun.

And just like that, Xu Yun’s group of six instantly became a party of twelve.

Fortunately, the private room they booked was large enough that it didn’t feel crowded, even with twelve people.

Xue Zhiqian came here to eat once in a while, so he was quite familiar with the menu.

So, after asking everyone for their preferences, Xu Yun took the menu and ordered a few of Xue Zhiqian’s recommended dishes.

When the waiter asked what they wanted to drink, Xu Yun quietly ordered two bottles of the restaurant’s best red wine.

After they ordered, the waiter began bringing out the dishes one by one. Everyone had their own individual hot course, and there were also cold appetizers placed in the center to share.

At first, everyone was a little reserved, but with Xue Zhiqian livening things up, they gradually loosened up and started talking more.

The four girls, in particular, were over the moon, expressing their adoration for the two celebrities.

Besides the dining setup, the private room also had karaoke equipment, allowing you to sing while you ate.

So, soon enough, as everyone ate and drank, Xu Song and Xue Zhiqian gave in to the girls’ pleading and each sang one of their own songs.

It was practically a private concert.

Afterward, everyone joined in for group songs and duets, making for a lively atmosphere.

The girls never imagined in their wildest dreams that they would get to be this close to famous celebrities, let alone eat a meal and sing karaoke with them.

Xiaobei even asked if she could take a short video of them singing to show off on her social media.

Xue Zhiqian and Xu Song both said it was no problem.

The lunch ended up lasting for more than two hours.

When Xu Yun called the manager over to settle the bill, he was told the total came to over 560,000 yuan. The manager placed the receipt in front of him.

Everyone in the room, except for Xu Yun, was a little stunned.

’How could it be so much money?’

Xue Zhiqian was the first to question it. "Did you calculate this wrong? We’ve had these dishes here before. They weren’t this expensive—a few tens of thousands at most."

"There’s no mistake, Mr. Xue."

The manager explained with a smile, "The red wine Mr. Xu ordered is the best in our restaurant—a 1997 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. One bottle is valued at 230,000 yuan, so two bottles come to 460,000."

Xue Zhiqian was speechless.

Even though he had money, he wouldn’t dare to drink something so extravagant.

When the girls heard the price, their jaws dropped, their mouths forming "O"s.

’The wine we were just drinking actually costs 230,000 a bottle?’

Xu Yun, who had clearly known the price all along, just smiled and said, "Here, you can run my card."

"Of course, Mr. Xu."

With a BEEP from the portable POS machine, the payment went through.

The girls eagerly grabbed the bill to take a look.

After reading it, they swallowed hard.

They knew this place was expensive, but they never imagined it would be *this* expensive, this outrageous!

Never mind the wine.

But a service fee of over 50,000 yuan?

’Isn’t that a bit too much?!’

’Do rich people use a different currency from the rest of us?’

Over 50,000 yuan was more than what many people earned in a year, yet here, it was just the service fee for two hours!

It was perfectly normal for the girls not to understand. As for Xu Song and Xue Zhiqian, however, their perception of Xu Yun deepened significantly after he settled the bill.

’Willing to spend over half a million on a single meal!’

’This guy is loaded.’

After the meal, as they were about to leave, the girls each got autographs from the two celebrities. Xu Yun also took the opportunity to ask, "Would you two be free to perform a song at my company’s annual party sometime before the New Year?"

"Our schedules might make that a bit difficult."

Xue Zhiqian explained apologetically, "It’s not a matter of money. It’s just that we’ve already accepted an invitation from a television network for the New Year."

"That’s fine. We’re not looking for New Year’s Eve, just a few days before."

Xu Yun smiled. "You can check your schedules when you get back. If it works out, just let me know, and I’ll have someone from my side contact your company to sign a contract."

"All right, we’ll take a look and get back to you."

After the two celebrities left, Xu Yun turned to Xiaoteng privately and said, "There’s a small favor I’d like to ask of you."

"What is it, President Xu?"

’I just drank hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of his wine,’ Xiaoteng thought. ’At this point, it wouldn’t matter if he asked for a small favor or told me to sleep with him—I’d have to grit my teeth and do it.’

"I need you to contact a manufacturer for me and get ten fully-loaded BMW X5s and ten BMW 5 Series. I need them before December 25th."

"Twenty cars?"

Xiaoteng asked, confused, "President Xu, what do you need so many cars for?"

"It’s for the New Year. I’m planning to raffle them off to my employees."

Xiaoteng was speechless.

"Besides those, I also need you to buy one fully-loaded MINI. Make it a unique color, have it gift-wrapped like a giant present, and I need it by tomorrow. It’ll have to be delivered to a specific location on a flatbed truck."

Xu Yun continued, "I’ll send you the address in a bit. Can you do that?"

"Okay, I’ll handle it." Xiaoteng nodded. He was very familiar with the channels for buying cars and was confident he could get them.

He was at least confident about that.

The reason Xu Yun was doing this was because he had suddenly remembered that among the women in his life, it seemed only Chen Xin didn’t have a car.

’Why not a more expensive car?’

’Was he being cheap?’

No, it was because he felt Chen Xin would like it more.

Based on her personality, a small MINI would be a perfect fit for her.

She could drive it around on her days off. It was stylish and easy to park.

After taking care of these matters and arranging a car to send Anar Guli’s three roommates home, Xu Yun finally had a chance to be alone with Anar Guli again.

Since Anar Guli hadn’t been drinking, Xu Yun had her drive while he gave directions from the passenger seat.

She drove carefully all the way to an auto detailing shop. There, with Xu Yun’s help, Anar Guli picked out a color she liked and left the car with them.

Afterward, the two of them took a cab back to the villa.

A full stomach brings... other thoughts to mind.

Xu Yun asked with a grin, "Want to find out what it feels like to sleep on a bed worth several hundred thousand?"

"I do..."

Anar Guli instantly understood what he meant. Blushing, she said, "I’m going to take a shower first. Wait for me."

With that, she ran off.

Xu Yun called after her with a teasing smile, "I’m in no rush. Take your time. Call me if you need anything."

Xinjiang, formerly known as the Western Regions, is famous for its beautiful women. The way their hips sway is utterly captivating!

’Last time was rushed, and it was our first time, so I didn’t get to properly appreciate it.’

’Today, I’m going to take a good, long look and experience the difference between them and the women of the Central Plains.’

Meanwhile, at the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Su Mu, acting as the company’s representative, personally took a mallet and struck the gong beside her.

With a loud GONG, her family’s company was officially listed!

Opening price: 5.78 yuan per share.

From a distance, her female assistant captured the moment on her phone, snapping a photo and sending it to Su Mu’s WeChat.

Su Mu’s father, Su Boxiong, the company’s founder, was also there, along with his son, Su Zhi’an.

At that moment, one in a wheelchair and the other standing, they could only watch their daughter and sister with rage, reduced to mere spectators.

The only silver lining was that with the company’s IPO, the value of their shares—and their net worth—had instantly doubled.

It was a considerable fortune.

However, at the same time, the IPO had also diluted their original shares, reducing their ownership stake.

But everyone’s shares were diluted, so in a way, it was as if nothing had changed.

Su Boxiong comforted his son, saying, "Even though she’s in control of the company, the employees are all old-timers that I personally trained. Don’t worry. It won’t be long before she gives up and hands the company back."

"Dad, I’m trying to contact President Ma privately."

Su Zhi’an said in a low voice, "As long as he’s willing to switch sides and support us, our combined shares will be more than my sister’s. Then we can kick her out."

"This President Ma... are you sure you can win him over?"

"Whatever my sister can offer him, we can offer too—and even more. He has no reason to refuse."

Su Zhi’an said, "Dad, just give me the word."

"Don’t rush it. Let’s take our time."

Just then, having completed her task, Su Mu walked over to them. She called out with a smile, "Dad, congratulations. I’ve finally achieved the public listing you always wanted. I’m sure Mom would be happy for me, too.

From now on, you can just relax at home and enjoy your life. You don’t have to worry about the company anymore. I’ll be handing it over to a professional manager to run."

"Hmph!"

Su Boxiong snorted angrily and ignored her, turning to Su Zhi’an. "We’re leaving!"

"Take care, Dad."

Su Mu let out a happy laugh, then turned to her assistant and said, "We’re heading back, too. Let’s go find Xu Yun and celebrate."
