Chapter 336: This is my boyfriend

"There it is, look, isn't that him?" Bai Muyu pointed toward Chen Yu.

Chen Yu smiled somewhat awkwardly, but since he had promised her beforehand, he couldn't go back on his word now, so he had to smile sheepishly and say, "I'm Chen Yu, Muyu's boyfriend."

"So he really is? I thought he was an assistant you brought along." The two of them glanced at Chen Yu, then revealed a trace of disappointment.

Wang Shutong in particular did not hold back her disdain for Chen Yu at all: "Muyu, you just returned to the country, didn't you? How do you already have a boyfriend? I think your boyfriend is quite average. What does he do?"

"I am a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I don't have any great skills," Chen Yu said indifferently.

In truth, this woman's attitude and tone were extremely unpleasant, but Chen Yu didn't intend to bicker with her; after all, there were simply too many people in this world who judged others by their appearance, and he couldn't be bothered to argue with them all.

As long as she didn't go too far, Chen Yu couldn't be bothered to pay her any mind.

"Yo, Traditional Chinese Medicine, huh? I couldn't tell you were a practitioner at such a young age; you must be an apprentice, right?" Xiao Qin, who was to the side, rolled her eyes with a look of disdain: "Apprentices don't get a salary, do they?"

"I do. Not having a salary was an old tradition; now there is a minimum wage standard, over two thousand," Chen Yu laughed.

"Haha, you're killing me. Muyu, your credentials are so good—a master's degree in quantum physics, soon to be a scientist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences—how did you end up with such a pauper for a boyfriend?" Xiao Qin was truly about to laugh.

"I just like him," Bai Muyu said, somewhat displeased: "You are my best friends, you should support any decision I make. What's wrong? Is the boyfriend I chose not good enough?"

"Fine, fine, you're right. Alright, let's ignore him and drink; a friend of mine is coming over in a bit," Wang Shutong giggled.

Just at this moment, the door opened, and a well-dressed man walked in.

The man was wearing a custom Armani suit, a Water Ghost on his wrist, and had the look of a successful person. He said, "Sorry, I'm late."

"Not late at all. Let me introduce you: Liang Jun, a very prominent big shot here in Fengling with excellent connections. Liang Jun, this is my good friend Bai Muyu, a master's degree holder in quantum physics who just returned to the country," Xiao Qin stood up and said with a chuckle.

"Hello, Miss Bai, I am Liang Jun. This is my business card; if you ever have any difficult problems you can't solve in Fengling, feel free to come find me." Liang Jun saw that Bai Muyu had an extraordinary appearance and temperament, and his eyes lit up as he handed over his card.

"Thank you." Out of politeness, Bai Muyu accepted Liang Jun's business card.

"And who is this?" Liang Jun turned his head and saw Chen Yu to the side.

"Don't mind him, he's just a Traditional Chinese Medicine apprentice, Muyu's boyfriend. I don't know what she sees in him," Xiao Qin shot a glance at Chen Yu.

"That's right, I'm afraid his monthly salary wouldn't even be enough to buy a single bottle of wine in this club," Wang Shutong also sneered.

"Oh, I see." Liang Jun immediately lost interest in Chen Yu, and he laughed heartily: "Let's get started then. It's my treat today; order whatever wine you want, don't hold back."

"The usual, Royal Salute," Xiao Qin shouted excitedly.

"You have good taste," Liang Jun gave a thumbs up, then smiled: "What wine does Miss Bai like?"

"I'm fine with any wine," Bai Muyu smiled.

"No problem, I'm familiar with this club. In that case, let's start with a few bottles of Royal Salute. Waiter, bring the wine," Liang Jun snapped his fingers.

Soon, a waiter pushed a few bottles of wine in. Liang Jun said: "Where is your Manager Cao? I have important guests today; is she not coming over to host us?"

"Manager Liang, our Manager Cao is busy. She will be here in a moment, please wait a moment," the waiter replied.

"Good, haha, I am very close with Manager Cao of this club. If you all need anything, just ask, she will satisfy it," Liang Jun said proudly: "Including if you have any matters in Fengling in the future, just feel free to mention it."

"Manager Liang is a prominent figure in Fengling with extremely wide connections. Muyu, if you have any matters in the future, just contact Manager Liang; he will definitely be able to solve them for you," Xiao Qin smiled.

"That's right, no matter how big the matter is, Manager Liang can handle it for you, even if the sky were to fall, it would be fine," Wang Shutong also tried her best to flatter Manager Liang.

"It's not that I'm saying this, Muyu, but if you want to find a boyfriend, you should find someone like Manager Liang. How could you find a Traditional Chinese Medicine apprentice? If you two really get married, how will he be able to provide you with a stable quality of life in the future?" Xiao Qin said, looking at Chen Yu sideways.

"How do you know I can't provide her with a stable quality of life?" Chen Yu countered.

"Heh, friend, a stable quality of life doesn't just mean you have ability and money; it also means having a background and connections," Liang Jun laughed: "Take me for example. Today we are hanging out at this club; I know the manager here, and with one word from me, she obediently gives me the best wine and the best service in the club. Can you do that?"

Just as his voice fell, the door opened, and a scantily clad woman walked in. This woman was none other than Cao Jing, whom he hadn't seen in a few days.

"Haha, Manager Cao, you're here. These are all my friends, you must host them well," Liang Jun laughed heartily, stepping forward to show off his connections proudly.

"Manager Liang, it's been a few days. Don't worry, I will definitely host your friends well. You this..." Cao Jing said this much when she caught a glimpse of Chen Yu.

She couldn't help but shudder involuntarily. The incident where Chen Yu beat her up last time was still fresh in her memory, and she had recently heard that Qin Ying had been locked up and was very likely to receive a heavy sentence.

Thinking back to how Qin Ying used to mock and ridicule Chen Yu every day, she became even more fearful of Chen Yu.

"Manager Chen, Manager Chen, you are here too. You didn't even say a word when you arrived; I should have come to welcome you personally." Thinking of this, Cao Jing couldn't help but shiver.

She ran to Chen Yu's side, nodding and bowing with a face full of smiles: "Look, this private room is a bit small. How about I change you to a large room on the third floor?"

Liang Jun's face changed instantly. Why was Cao Jing so respectful to Chen Yu?

Cao Jing was feeling anxious. She had learned of Chen Yu's current status from the sidelines, and she no longer dared to consider herself his classmate in front of him; she only wanted to get on good terms with Chen Yu now.

"Muyu, what do you think of this place? If it's small, we can change to another room. The large rooms on the third floor of this club are quite nice," Chen Yu looked at Bai Muyu.

"No need, this place is quite good," Bai Muyu was startled, feeling a little excited inside. Chen Yu was asking for her opinion; did that mean Chen Yu had her in his heart?

"Alright then, no need. You go ahead and get busy," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Alright, alright, if you need anything, just order me around. I'll be waiting outside." Seeing that there was no look of disgust on Chen Yu's face, Cao Jing was overjoyed. She turned back to a waiter and said: "Xiao Li, go bring the Romanee-Conti that our Manager Li keeps for VIPs to Manager Chen."
