The menu for each was set at a standard of over 10,000 yuan, prepared with the finest ingredients available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t be helped. In a small town like this, truly expensive ingredients weren’t available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the cost came from the seafood, like abalone, king crab, large lobsters, turbot, and geoduck clams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other, more common dishes didn’t really add much to the cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was the alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each table was to have two bottles of Feitian Maotai, and the owner had specifically instructed that they must be authentic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because the woman who had made the reservation—from her clothes and jewelry to her overall bearing—was clearly no ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had an out-of-town accent and spoke Mandarin, looking every bit like she was from a big city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, she seemed very familiar with the hotel business herself. They barely needed to explain anything; she was the one listing all the necessary arrangements and points of concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner naturally couldn’t afford to give someone like that the runaround, nor could he risk offending her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked like the type who would actually have her lawyers sue him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He figured the guests at this banquet wouldn’t be simple folk either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the time, the owner, as a show of good faith, personally led his management staff and servers to wait at the entrance of the hotel lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, a white Bentley slowly pulled up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was followed by two black Mercedes-Benzes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan opened her door and got out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the hotel owner saw her, he immediately had his staff open the doors for the other passengers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He himself walked over to Yu Xuan and said with a smile, \"Miss Yu, welcome! And a warm welcome to all our distinguished guests.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The uncles and aunts had never experienced such treatment when going out for a meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting out of the cars and seeing the line of servers waiting to welcome them at the entrance, they couldn’t help but stand a little straighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two aunts suddenly felt incredibly important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting out, Yu Xuan walked straight to Xu Yun’s side. \"Boss, should we head up now? Or...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You take my mom and the others upstairs first and get them settled. I’ll wait down here for the remaining guests.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Yu Xuan led the rest of the group toward the private room upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hotel owner could now see who the true host of the evening was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smilingly approached Xu Yun and asked, \"Sir, may I ask your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My surname is Xu. The name’s Yun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President Xu, a pleasure. I’m the owner of this hotel. My name is Wei Lai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President Wei, a pleasure. Thank you for your hard work today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The customer is king. You pay, I provide the service. It’s only natural. It’s no trouble at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Lai added, \"If there’s anything that isn’t to your satisfaction, please don’t hesitate to let me know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After their brief exchange, he accompanied Xu Yun at the entrance to greet the other guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xu Yun didn’t object and tacitly accepted his company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This owner really knows his business.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For his mother’s birthday this time, he had invited some close relatives and friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guests began to arrive one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time, the owner proactively had the servers behind him guide the new arrivals to the private room upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Zhang Lei and his wife arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple saw Xu Yun at the entrance, offered a smiling greeting, and then headed upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They carried themselves with an air of superiority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hotel owner, Wei Lai, asked with some surprise, \"President Xu, who was that? Acting so high and mighty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My immature younger cousin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun chuckled. \"He’s young. A bit proud and arrogant, looks down on everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Wei Lai was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Some \"proud and arrogant\" youngster.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Heh. With a personality like that, he’s destined to never amount to much, no matter what he does.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two waited a while longer. When Xu Yun felt that pretty much everyone who was coming had arrived, he prepared to head upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hotel owner, Wei Lai, called out, \"President Xu, it looks like there are more people coming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun turned his head curiously and saw three more luxury cars approaching the hotel entrance in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one in the lead was a Rolls-Royce, followed by a black Bentley Continental GT, and finally a red Porsche 911.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hotel owner silently clicked his tongue in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hotel staff behind him also widened their eyes. A sight like this was a rare spectacle in a small town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three cars combined were probably worth over ten million yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a big city, this might not be a big deal—just a regular scene in any mall’s underground garage, where luxury cars are everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was a small town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A place where you wouldn’t see a Rolls or a Bentley even twice a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And today, so many luxury cars had shown up at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the license plates, none of them were local. They were from Jiangcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’To come all this way just for a meal... It really shows President Xu’s influence and power in Jiangcheng.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing to the side, Xu Yun frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because aside from the first car, the Rolls-Royce, which he didn’t recognize, weren’t the other two his own cars?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he guessed the answer, a group of women began to get out of the cars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu, Li Jinshu, Ning Qian, Song Xiaowei, and Liang Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five stunningly beautiful women, each with her own unique aura, appeared before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left the hotel owner, Wei Lai, and the staff behind him completely dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luxury cars and beautiful women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, they had certainly seen their fill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun stood where he was and said with a helpless smile, \"What are you all doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong? Are you not happy to see us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the leader of the group, Su Mu stepped forward and said with a grin, \"If we’re not welcome, we’ll just get back in our cars and leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it’s not that. I’m just a little surprised.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun said, \"You didn’t even give me a heads-up before coming. I haven’t prepared any food for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We didn’t come here to eat. We came to celebrate your mother’s birthday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1097,"2026-06-03T11:41:56.865Z","2026-06-03T11:42:08.162Z",1,"novelbin.me","fb36f2d7986ea7bc6099ca29bae8af662321679b7c9c85ec535486dd8c1e8567","super-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-chapter-243","super-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-chapter-241",284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-cover.jpg"]
