Chapter 229: Everything is bad, you can rest assured

Shen Ci's words were like a machine gun, attacking indiscriminately, and no one present was spared!

Everyone looked at each other, clearly frightened by the contrast Shen Ci brought them today. How could the pure, gentle, and quiet Shen Ci of the past become so aggressive and sharp-tongued?

This attack power was simply boundless!

If she licked her own lips, could she poison herself to death?

And just as Shen Ci was about to turn and leave, she suddenly paused and looked at everyone with a smile.

With this smile, everyone felt that something big was wrong.

Then they heard Shen Ci say: "I almost forgot the most important thing. I know everyone is very 'concerned' about how I've been living in Longcheng for the past two years, and even more 'concerned' about where my current wealth comes from."

"Simply put, I didn't rely on anyone, especially men, to possess wealth that you wouldn't earn in ten lifetimes. Ten-thousand-yuan properties and thousand-yuan luxury cars are nothing more than ordinary things to me."

"I can solve everything that can be solved with money. My boyfriend is upright and honest, has eight-pack abs, has friends worth giving my heart to, and has teachers who treat me with kindness and care."

"The connections I've made are at a level you can't climb no matter how hard you try, and the height of my starting point is a destination you might not even be able to see in a lifetime of struggle."

"Want to watch my drama? The more you understand the current me, the less you'll be able to laugh."

"Of course, I know that because I'm so beautiful and so rich, many of you are jealous and breaking down in your hearts. It doesn't matter even if you question it, because these are all facts and won't change because of anyone."

"In short, everything is bad, you can rest assured!"

After saying this, Shen Ci picked up her Hermès bag, never giving anyone a straight look again, and turned to walk toward the door of the private room.

Just at this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the manager of "Red Candle Restaurant" personally walked in carrying a bottle of expensive red wine.

The person seemed to know what was going on and recognized Shen Ci at a glance, saying respectfully: "Miss Shen, our boss ordered me to send a bottle of good wine to you."

This scene made those who were still suspicious in their hearts widen their eyes in shock.

The boss of "Red Candle Restaurant"?

Specifically sending wine to Shen Ci?

You Liqing was the most incredulous. One had to know the fame and positioning of this restaurant in Shengang. Not to mention that this was a three-star Michelin, even when her father came to eat, he had never received such courtesy.

Her father was an old member here!

"Boss Huang is too polite. I already said there was no need for special arrangements. Look, I was already planning to leave. I'll have to trouble you to pass on my thanks to Boss Huang."

"Miss Shen, you're leaving? Didn't you just arrive?"

The manager didn't know what had just happened in the room. Seeing this, he quickly asked Shen Ci to wait a moment, and he took out his walkie-talkie and ordered: "Tell the boss, Miss Shen is leaving."

Seeing him so nervous, Shen Ci couldn't help but comfort him: "No need to make such a big fuss. I'll go downstairs and greet Boss Huang in a moment."

"Miss Shen, don't be in a hurry. The boss specifically instructed that if you were to leave, he must be notified."

Seeing this, Shen Ci had no choice but to nod, but she didn't want to stay in this private room for another second: "Then I'll go out and wait for him first."

Who knew that as soon as her voice fell, Boss Huang had already arrived quickly upon hearing the news, pushing the door open and walking in without even knocking.

As a result, as soon as he appeared, everyone in the private room gasped in unison.

Huang Yongqiang!

It was the living Huang Yongqiang!

Everyone was a Shengang local and was no stranger to the local business tycoon Huang Yongqiang. This was an entrepreneur who often appeared in Shengang business newspapers and on television, with a net worth of hundreds of thousands!

And the attitude Huang Yongqiang showed toward Shen Ci after appearing completely shattered the doubts in these people's hearts about what Shen Ci had just said.

Huang Yongqiang smiled, and although his attitude didn't go as far as fawning, he greeted Shen Ci with extreme enthusiasm and respect: "Miss Shen, why are you leaving just after arriving? Is the food in our restaurant not to your taste?"

Shen Ci smiled: "Boss Huang's restaurant's taste is definitely good, it's just a pity that the day isn't right, and the people aren't right, so I don't have much appetite. Next time I have a chance, I will definitely come back and taste it properly."

"Eh? Since you're already here, why wait for next time? It's rare for me to have a chance to treat Miss Shen to a meal. Since the people in this room aren't right, I'll immediately arrange a separate private room for you. You just need to give me some face, and I'll arrange the rest!"

Boss Huang was so enthusiastic that Shen Ci felt grateful. Boss Huang had also heard some harsh words at the door just now, and she thought he was doing this intentionally now to regain face for her in front of these blind classmates.

Shen Ci couldn't refuse: "Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony with Boss Huang?"

Seeing this, Huang Yongqiang laughed straightforwardly: "You must not stand on ceremony with me. I only ask that if Miss Shen has any good projects in the future, you can think of me. After all, I still have to rely on you in Longcheng, don't I?"

"Boss Huang, you're overestimating me. You are a senior and an elder, so I have many things I don't understand and need to learn from you."

"Oh, Miss Shen, don't be humble with me..."

As the two talked, they left the private room, leaving only the crowd sitting at the table staring at each other, shocked and dumbfounded by everything that had just happened.

It took a long while for someone to come to their senses.

"Holy crap, is it real? Huang Yongqiang, did you see him? Did you see his attitude toward Shen Ci?"

Others also reacted one after another, echoing in shock.

"Shen Ci wasn't bragging. Even Huang Yongqiang just said he had to rely on her in Longcheng. That's Huang Yongqiang, a tycoon worth hundreds of thousands!"

"I didn't say anything bad about Shen Ci just now."

"I didn't either!"

"You guys are trying to clear yourselves now? Today, everyone who came, wasn't everyone here to see Shen Ci?"

"I wanted to see Shen Ci, that's true, but I didn't want to watch Shen Ci's drama. After all, I don't have any grudges with her!"

As this sentence fell, everyone's eyes subconsciously looked at You Liqing.

The person with the clearest goal toward Shen Ci today was You Liqing, and the person whose face was slapped the hardest was also You Liqing.

Feeling everyone's gaze, You Liqing's expression sank to the bottom: "Why are you all looking at me? Did I commit a crime by spending money to treat you?"

"Qingqing, the matter between you, Shen Ci, and Hexu is all from high school, why make it so ugly?"

"Exactly, and today everyone is here. If you have something, solve it privately, don't drag us into being scolded too."

"Making it seem like we were bullying Shen Ci together with you."

The wind direction was wrong, and some people thought about clearing their relationship, indicating that they were just here to attend the classmate gathering.

You Liqing was suddenly angered to laughter by these people's faces: "Now everyone is in a hurry to clear themselves? Why didn't anyone dare to let out a fart just now? Don't think I don't know that you all came today wanting to watch the drama. Don't act so high and mighty!"
