Chapter 3: Triggering Extra Return

The wine and snacks arrived quickly.

The girls cheered and began pouring drinks.

"Brother Qin, let's clink glasses!" Red-haired Lily raised her cup.

Qin Ze clinked his against hers and took a sip.

The atmosphere quickly grew lively.

The girls started chattering away, either asking what Qin Ze did for a living or prying into his background.

Qin Ze casually made things up to brush them off, his attention fixed entirely on Su Qingqing.

Su Qingqing was drinking rather fiercely, one cup after another.

"Brother Qin, I'd like to propose a toast to you."

Noticing Qin Ze's gaze, Su Qingqing lifted her wine cup and boldly toasted him.

Then she tilted her head back, exposing her delicate neck, and drained it in one go!

Qin Ze immediately raised his own cup in response.

Just as the two were happily drinking cup after cup,

a figure suddenly stumbled into the booth entrance.

"Qingqing! I've been looking for you for half a day, so this is where you are!"

The newcomer was a yellow-haired young man wearing a floral shirt, a gold chain hanging around his neck, walking unsteadily, obviously very drunk.

He spotted Su Qingqing at once, and his eyes lit up.

Su Qingqing's expression instantly darkened.

Huang Mao squeezed over, plopped down beside Su Qingqing, and reached out to put his arm around her shoulder:

"What, avoiding me as soon as you see me?"

Su Qingqing violently shook off his hand:

"Fuck your mother! Wang Hao, keep your hands clean!"

"It's just a touch, not like I'm going to eat you!" Huang Mao said with a silly grin.

"Come on, let's go to my table; I've opened a bottle of Ace of Spades."

"Get lost, don't bother me."

Su Qingqing deliberately leaned closer to Qin Ze.

She simply wanted to stop the other party from harassing her again.

But this made Huang Mao explode with anger.

He sized Qin Ze up and down thoroughly:

"Who the fuck are you?"

Qin Ze ignored him, looking coldly at the other man.

Huang Mao flew into a rage:

"I'm your mother! I'm asking you a question, pretending you can't hear?"

Seeing this, Xiao Ya nearby quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Brother Hao, this is my friend, Brother Qin."

Huang Mao snorted with laughter.

"Brother Qin? Now just anyone deserves to be called 'Brother'?"

Qin Ze set down his cup, raised his eyes to look at him:

"Something you need?"

"Yes, something!"

Huang Mao pointed at Su Qingqing.

"I'm taking this girl away; you get out of the way."

"If she wants to leave, she will leave on her own; if she doesn't want to, you won't lay a single hair on her head!"

Qin Ze's tone was calm.

"How the fuck are you talking to me?"

Huang Mao stood up and reached out to smash his fist into Qin Ze's face.

Su Qingqing suddenly moved.

She grabbed a beer bottle from the table and slammed it hard against the table edge.

With a bang, half the bottle shattered, exposing jagged glass shards.

Then Su Qingqing stepped forward in front of Huang Mao, pointing the broken bottle straight at his nose.

"Wang Hao, try moving against him one more time, you bastard?"

"Brother Qin is my Big Brother! If you dare touch him, do you believe I'll crack your skull open?"

Su Qingqing's eyes were fierce, yet her voice remained steady.

The entire booth instantly fell silent.

People in other booths also looked over this way.

Huang Mao was stunned, his drunkenness half-gone:

"Su Qingqing, you..."

"What about me?" Su Qingqing pressed forward a step.

"You think buying me a lousy bottle of wine means you can sleep with me? Who do you think you are!"

Huang Mao's face turned the color of a pig's liver:

"Su Qingqing, don't be ungrateful when offered a face."

"The boss of this bar is my second uncle; if you cause trouble here, do you believe I can make you get out right now and never enter again?"

"That's fine then; I'll wait for you to make me get out!" Su Qingqing rolled her eyes.

Huang Mao trembled all over with rage, glared fiercely at Qin Ze, and threw down these words:

"Just you wait!"

Then he turned around and left.

Only after Su Qingqing watched him go far away did she toss the broken wine bottle into the trash can.

She clapped her hands, sat back down beside Qin Ze, and acted as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, Qin Ze also woke up as if from a dream.

The scene just now, where Su Qingqing had stood up for him, truly shocked Qin Ze.

In the past, whether at university or at the company!

It was mostly deceit and trickery, along with endless involution!

But now, a Spiritual Sister he had known for less than half a day had actually been so reckless for his sake!

She had nearly come to blows with someone.

This kind of loyalty was something Qin Ze had rarely experienced before!

For a moment, Qin Ze formed a new understanding of Su Qingqing in his heart.

This girl was loyal, bold, and not someone to be trifled with.

No wonder the system could give her an S-Rating.

After Wang Hao left, several girls came to their senses and all frowned.

"Qingqing, the brothers beside Wang Hao are all from the underworld! And his second uncle is the boss of this Muse Bar!"

"That's right, Qingqing; you could have provoked anyone but Wang Hao. Besides, his family is so wealthy; wouldn't it be great if you followed him?"

"Qingqing, you should leave quickly! Otherwise, when Wang Hao calls people over, it will be troublesome."

At this moment, Xiao Ya leaned close to Qin Ze's ear:

"This Wang Hao has been pestering Qingqing for a long time, coming to the bar every day to block her; shouldn't we leave?"

Qin Ze waved his hand.

"Leave for what? We are here to spend money!"

"We spent money; are we supposed to suffer humiliation as well?"

"With me here today, I'd like to see who dares to act wildly!"

For a moment, the other girls present looked at Qin Ze with faces full of contempt.

They felt Qin Ze was just being stubborn!

Moreover, several girls had already begun whispering among themselves.

"This guy is just being stubborn! Dressed in street-market goods, yet pretending to be rich here."

"I've seen plenty of people spend a few thousand at a bar to put on airs, but those who are this stubborn are truly rare!"

"What are you pretending for? Once Wang Hao arrives, he'll have to behave!"

But at this moment, Qin Ze was truly not panicked!

Just now, in order to trigger the system's doubled Cashback!

He had quietly asked the Waiter to open a VIP Member Savings Card for him and deposited ten thousand yuan!

In this kind of bar, a customer who could top up ten thousand was someone they would rush to treat like an honored guest!

Let alone picking faults with them!

Unless this bar didn't want to do business anymore!

Sure enough, a few minutes later, a middle-aged man in a suit hurried over, followed by Huang Mao.

The several Spiritual Sisters nearby were all waiting to watch the show!

Su Qingqing and Xiao Ya also visibly grew tense!

"Second Uncle, they are the ones causing trouble!"

Wang Hao pointed at Qin Ze and Su Qingqing.

The middle-aged man scanned the booth, his gaze landing on Qin Ze.

He immediately reconfirmed with the Waiter beside him.

"Is this Mr. Qin the one who just topped up ten thousand yuan on a Member Savings Card?"

The Waiter nodded quickly.

At this, both Huang Mao and the other girls present looked at Qin Ze with faces of utter disbelief.

It might still be possible to take out two thousand or so to show off!

But topping up ten thousand at a bar all at once absolutely could not be faked.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly stepped before Qin Ze, wearing a fawning expression:

"Mr. Qin, sorry to disturb you. I am the bar Boss; you can just call me Lao Zhao."

Qin Ze directly crossed his legs, smiled coldly, and looked around at Wang Hao standing behind him:

"Boss Zhao, do you have something to discuss with me?"

Boss Zhao chuckled!

Although ten thousand yuan meant nothing to him, the fact that the other party could top up ten thousand in one go at his place!

Meant they were definitely someone he could not afford to offend.

"Mr. Qin, just now my nephew was ignorant and offended you and your friend; I have brought him over to apologize to you!"

Boss Zhao wore a stern expression as he looked at Wang Hao behind him.

"Wang Hao, apologize to Mr. Qin immediately!"

Wang Hao stood aside, dumbfounded:

"Second Uncle, you..."

"Shut up! Apologize!"

"Otherwise, I'll make sure you regret it!"

Wang Hao was clearly stunned; he had originally intended to bring his Second Uncle here to vent his anger.

He never expected that he would end up being the one apologizing instead.

But very quickly, Wang Hao's brain started working again!

This man surnamed Qin can make my Second Uncle so polite! It seems his background is truly not simple!

"Mr. Qin, I'm sorry!"

Boss Zhao glared at him once, then turned toward Qin Ze, wearing a placating smile.

"Do you find this handling acceptable?"

"It's nothing." Qin Ze waved his hand. "Young people get drunk; it's normal."

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Qin." Boss Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. "Then please enjoy yourself; if you need anything, just call me anytime."

He dragged the unwilling Huang Mao away.

The booth fell into complete silence.

Several girls looked at Qin Ze, then at Su Qingqing, their eyes filled with admiration.

"Brother Qin, when exactly did you top up the membership card?" Xiao Ya asked.

Qin Ze chuckled:

"Just now when ordering, I was afraid you wouldn't have enough fun drinking, so I casually asked the Waiter to recharge a card for me!"

"From now on, as long as you are Qingqing's friends, whenever you come to this bar, just directly use the alcohol stored on my card!"

Upon hearing this, the girls all gasped in shock.

Su Qingqing looked at Qin Ze, her small face flushed, clearly having drunk too much just now:

"Brother Qin, originally I was going to treat you to drinks; how did this turn into you treating us?"

Qin Ze lit a cigarette.

"Since you've acknowledged me as your Big Brother, what's wrong with me, as the Big Brother, treating my little sister to some drinks?"

The next moment, the system prompt sound in Qin Ze's mind finally rang out:

【Detected Host making a clearly designated expenditure for Bound S-Rank Object "Su Qingqing"; Expenditure Amount: 12,800 yuan.】

【Triggered Random Double: Fifteen-fold Return.】

【Return Amount: 192,000 yuan, deposited into Host's bank card.】

The hand with which Qin Ze held his Wine Cup trembled slightly.

An expenditure amount of 12,800 yuan? Could it be that the system counted the ten thousand yuan I used to top up the VIP status as part of the expenditure for Su Qingqing?

Just as Qin Ze was lost in thought!

【Ding! Detected Host providing a sense of security to the Cashback Object, triggering Extra Return!】

【Extra Reward: One Yangwang U7 EV; vehicle purchase completed; Host may proceed to the 4S shop at any time to pick up the car upon presenting identification.】
