Chapter 127: This Great Buddha Is Too Noble

Xiao Yunzhe listened, nodded, and said this method wasn't bad either.

Using multiple approaches could greatly improve efficiency; as long as it's a useful method, we must use it; who knows, we might actually find it.

"Alright, you go make the appointment; I'll go online to see if there's a suitable restaurant nearby and book a private room."

"Okay." Geng Jing Shu immediately called her friend and invited them to eat together.

As soon as her friend heard she had come to Yun Cheng, they immediately agreed.

Soon, several people went to a relatively high-end restaurant nearby, the Di Yun Can Ting.

Her good friend Ning Rou and her husband walked into the restaurant, their faces full of disbelief.

This restaurant is too luxurious, isn't it?

"Rou'er, when did you meet such a generous friend?" Ning Rou's husband asked her quietly.

He is a person from Yun Cheng; he had heard of this Di Yun Can Ting, but had never come to eat there because it was too high-end for them to afford.

Many wealthy people like to come here to spend money; put bluntly, those who can afford to eat at this restaurant are the top of the money-holders; ordinary wealthy people don't qualify to spend here.

"I, I remember Geng Jing Shu's family is just ordinary; I heard her boyfriend is also quite poor." Ning Rou was also completely puzzled.

Ning Rou's husband hearing this also looked bewildered, but for Ning Rou, being able to reunite with an old friend made her extremely happy; nothing else mattered.

Back when they were in An Jin, her relationship with Geng Jing Shu was the best, but at that time his boyfriend—now her husband—had to go to Yun Cheng to develop, so she had to follow him there.

When they parted, the two sisters felt sad for a long time; they never expected to see each other again.

"Geng Jing Shu, long time no see; I didn't expect you to have a baby."

Geng Jing Shu happily rubbed her slightly protruding belly: "That's right; since you left, we two haven't seen each other." The two best friends said, happily embracing each other.

After they talked about their longing for a while, their emotions gradually eased; Geng Jing Shu quickly introduced Xiao Yunzhe to Ning Rou and her husband: "Rou'er, he's my partner, Xiao Yunzhe—the boyfriend I've mentioned to you before, whom I've dated for many years—this is him."

Ning Rou also introduced her husband to her best friend: "My other half, Wang De An, hehe."

After the introductions, since Geng Jing Shu and Ning Rou's relationship was already good, the several people naturally became acquainted.

Wang De An, who holds a minor position at the bureau, usually faces anyone with composure, but in Xiao Yunzhe's presence he inexplicably felt a sense of oppression.

Since Xiao Yunzhe started living with Xiao Ming, his temperament has been rapidly changing; he is no longer the timid kid who used to hesitate at everything.

However, temperament is only one aspect; what makes Wang De An think Xiao Yunzhe is not an ordinary person also lies in his clothing and appearance.

That expensive watch of his and the high-end restaurant he had reserved.

"Rou'er, since you left, I haven't seen you at all; it's been over two years. You are my only best friend; after you left, I became a lonely, helpless person—wah wah wah, I'm so pitiful."

"Me too; since we parted, I haven't made any close friends; I really miss you."

Geng Jing Shu and Ning Rou felt that their longing could never be fully expressed; just like friendship and love, meeting someone who truly clicks with you is not easy.

They each occupy a very important place in the other's heart.

Xiao Yunzhe and Wang De An, on their side, also chatted happily.

While they were talking, the restaurant's person in charge arrived, with a food cart behind him; following his instructions, the waiters began placing dishes one by one on the table.

Soon, the table was filled with delicious dishes.

Ning Rou and Wang De An both stared in disbelief; setting aside other things, just that bottle of red wine opened by the waiter—they had only seen it on TV, very expensive— they never expected to be fortunate enough in their lifetime to drink such fine wine and eat such high-end dishes.

"Geng Jing Shu, you said you two came to Yun Cheng this time to look for someone, right?" Ning Rou asked curiously.

Geng Jing Shu looked at Xiao Yunzhe, nodded, and said: "Um, we two..."

Geng Jing Shu explained the situation; before she could even ask Wang De An for help, he eagerly spoke up: "That's fine; I'm the one in charge of household registration—just give me the name, and I'll help you look it up; maybe I'll find something."

"Really? Then I'll trouble Brother Wang to help." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunzhe was overjoyed, quickly poured wine for Wang De An, stood up, and was about to propose a toast.

Wang De An knew Xiao Yunzhe's identity was certainly not ordinary; he dared not calmly accept his toast, quickly stood up and returned the salute: "It's no trouble at all; besides, Rou'er and Geng Jing Shu are good sisters—we're all our own people; if we can help, we naturally will; no need to be so polite."

After sitting down, Wang De An immediately picked up his phone to arrange this matter.

"Brother Wang, thank you so much." Xiao Yunzhe gratefully pushed a plate of delicate-looking food toward Wang De An.

With Wang De An's help, things became much easier; perhaps even better than the expensive private detectives he had hired.

Moreover, with an additional force, there is an additional possibility.

Afterward, the several people began chatting about other topics.

When it got close to nine o'clock, everyone finally prepared to leave.

This outing was arranged by Xiao Yunzhe agreeing to Geng Jing Shu's invitation to Ning Rou and her husband; thus Xiao Yunzhe naturally should have had the sense to go pay the bill ahead of time, while Geng Jing Shu and Ning Rou's couple walked behind.

"Young Master Xiao." The restaurant manager saw Xiao Yunzhe approach and respectfully bowed.

Xiao Yunzhe was just taking out his card from his pocket, not noticing the manager's respectful attitude: "Swipe the card."

"Young Master Xiao, you don't need to pay for your meal here." The manager said respectfully.

The three people walking behind all stared in shock upon hearing this; Xiao Yunzhe was also completely bewildered.

Wang De An secretly thought, perhaps the restaurant manager recognized him and was trying to curry favor, so he waived the bill?

Afterwards, he thought again; this possibility basically doesn't exist—given his low position, at most they'd just be a bit courteous to him; a free meal? Impossible.

Not only him, even if his top superior came, such treatment would be impossible.

He pondered carefully and suddenly realized: could it be that the manager's attitude toward Xiao Yunzhe was because this great Buddha is too noble?

At that moment, Xiao Yunzhe also puzzled, asked: "What's going on? Why don't we need to pay the bill?"

"Young Master Xiao, it's like this: when you reserved the private room, you left your ID information; we learned you're from An Jin, surname Xiao, and you booked the top-tier private room; we believe you are certainly a distinguished guest."
