Chapter 911: Chapter 326: Is This Filming a Script Like an Internet Celebrity? (5)

Damn, are Gen Z kids always this wild?

Confirmed a relationship yesterday, break up today?

And her breakup reason is just ridiculous, truly heartbreaking.

Chen Rui looked dumbfounded, dropping all the flyers in his hands.

Damn it, I wanted to be romantic, didn’t expect to play the clown instead.

Zhao Chunxue pulled Yang Chen to the roadside and said, "Take me back to school."

Yang Chen nodded.

Just then, a Maybach stopped at the roadside ahead, honking to catch Zhao Chunxue’s attention.

Soon, an old man’s head stuck out from the car window.

Zhao Chunxue looked surprised and quickly let go of Yang Chen to run over.

Yang Chen got into his car first.

"Dad, why are you here?" Zhao Chunxue asked.

The old man was Zhao Chunxue’s father, Zhao Zhonghua.

Zhao Zhonghua is the chairman and majority shareholder of the listed company Hongrui Shares, holding 51% of the shares.

Zhao Zhonghua: "I just finished a meeting and was heading back, just happened to pass by here. Who’s he? Your boyfriend?"

Zhao Chunxue quickly denied: "No, he’s not."

Zhao Zhonghua: "Don’t play games, I saw you walking hand in hand with him. How did you get here?"

Zhao Chunxue: "I came in his car."

Zhao Zhonghua: "You came in his car, and you say he’s not. You’ve not been eating well at school, have you? Look how skinny you are. Get in the car, let’s go to Tang Pavilion, and have a good meal. He’s coming too, I want to have a chat with him."

Zhao Chunxue: "Dad, really he’s not. We’re just friends."

Zhao Zhonghua: "Holding hands and still just friends? Does he want to take advantage for free? Get in the car, come along."

With that, Zhao Zhonghua closed the window and had the driver head to Tang Pavilion.

Zhao Chunxue looked helplessly at the back of her dad’s car, then awkwardly looked at Yang Chen’s car.

Zhao Chunxue got into Yang Chen’s passenger seat and said, "My dad mistook you for my boyfriend and insists you have dinner with us at Tang Pavilion. He’s a stubborn old man, just nod and play along with whatever he says. I’ll find a chance to get you out of this. Okay?"

Yang Chen: "Are you kidding me? I just gave you a bunch of flowers, and you drag me into all this mess."

Zhao Chunxue: "Please. It’s not like I wanted this. My dad saw me with you and assumed we’re a couple. My dad’s really stubborn; if he doesn’t have a chat with you, this won’t end. Please, please, can you help me out? How about this, I’ll pay you 500 bucks for the meal? Once we get to Tang Pavilion, you can order whatever you want. Just help me deal with my dad."

At that moment, Xiaoma called Yang Chen.

Yang Chen got out of the car to answer the phone.

"Hello, President Ma, what’s up?" Yang Chen asked.

Xiaoma: "Mr. Yang, are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together. I’ve booked a private room at Tang Pavilion and want to introduce you to a few friends."

Yang Chen: "Oh, sure. What time?"

Xiaoma: "Six o’clock. Let’s go early, have more time to chat."

Yang Chen: "Alright. See you at Tang Pavilion at six then."

After hanging up, Yang Chen checked his watch; it was already 3:30 PM.

Yang Chen got back into the car and said, "Okay, I’ll accompany you to deal with this."

Zhao Chunxue: "Hehe... Thank you, thank you. Add me as a friend, I’ll transfer you the 500 bucks."

Yang Chen: "No need. I don’t want your money. Fasten your seatbelt, we’re heading to Tang Pavilion now."

Zhao Chunxue nodded happily and quickly fastened her seatbelt.

Half an hour later, Yang Chen brought Zhao Chunxue to Tang Pavilion.

To avoid standing out, Yang Chen took off his delivery outfit and changed into casual wear.

Soon, Yang Chen and Zhao Chunxue were sitting in front of Zhao Zhonghua.

Zhao Zhonghua carefully looked at Yang Chen, thinking the young man looked quite handsome and physically fit, with decent personal qualities.

"Young man, what’s your educational background?" Zhao Zhonghua asked.

Yang Chen: "Graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing from Hai City University of Finance and Economics."

Zhao Zhonghua and Zhao Chunxue were puzzled.

A graduate from a top university delivering food?

Zhao Chunxue: "Bro, you’re so cool? Finance University graduate delivering food?"

Yang Chen: "Yeah! The job was good back then, but the boss was too stingy and cut my commission, so I quit. Now I drive for a ride-hailing service, delivering food as a side job."

Zhao Zhonghua: "Young man, you have backbone! University-educated people are different; even in lower-level jobs, they work harder than others. It’s okay, once you marry Xiaoxue, you can work at our company. If you have talent, I guarantee you’ll have a platform to showcase it."

Zhao Chunxue bowed her head, feeling speechless and shy, thinking her dad was really something.

"Mr. Zhao, you’re joking. There’s nothing between Miss Zhao and me; marriage isn’t possible at all," Yang Chen quickly responded.

Zhao Zhonghua laughed heartily and said, "To be honest, my first impression of you is good. I will observe your character and so on; as long as you pass my evaluation, I absolutely won’t discourage you and Xiaoxue from being together just because you’re a delivery or ride-hailing driver. Let’s order, eat whatever you want, don’t be polite with me. Xiaoxue is too skinny now, definitely order more."

Say what you will, Zhao Zhonghua was pretty generous, unlike many wealthy people who naturally looked down on those in lower-level jobs.

Yang Chen casually ordered two moderately-priced dishes to show courtesy.

Zhao Chunxue, however, was not shy, ordering over a dozen high-priced dishes in one go.

Yang Chen wasn’t hungry, so he just ate a few bites.

Zhao Chunxue, perhaps truly deprived at school, devoured a lot hungrily.

Zhao Zhonghua didn’t even touch his utensils, just watched his daughter eat with joy.

"Yang Chen, eat. Don’t be polite with me," Zhao Zhonghua said with a smile.

Yang Chen: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao. I’m not too hungry right now, just a little is fine."

"You’re not hungry, but I am! The cafeteria food at school is terrible, Tang Pavilion’s food is delicious," Zhao Chunxue said while eating.

Seeing his daughter gobbling down food, Zhao Zhonghua smiled contentedly, probably the happiest a parent could be.

About an hour later, Zhao Chunxue had eaten her fill and patted her belly with satisfaction.

Seeing his daughter so adorable, Zhao Zhonghua laughed heartily.

"Are you full?" Zhao Zhonghua asked.

Zhao Chunxue nodded and said, "Too full, can’t eat anymore."

"Alright! You two go have fun then. I have a dinner party here tonight, starting in an hour. President Ma from Penguin Technology and others will probably arrive any minute. I won’t accompany you two. Yang Chen, take good care of Xiaoxue, send her back to school immediately, and no staying outside overnight. Only after you get married can you live together, heard me?" Zhao Zhonghua said.

So, President Ma from tonight’s party too, huh?

Among the friends Xiaoma wanted to introduce, he was one of them.

Zhao Chunxue felt awkward by her dad’s words and could only lower her head to cover her face.

Yang Chen quickly nodded and said, "Don’t worry, Mr. Zhao, I’ll send her back to school immediately, won’t delay for even a second!"

Zhao Zhonghua smiled and nodded, calling a waiter to settle the bill.

Waiter: "Hello, your table’s total is 85,688 yuan. Do you have a membership card? A regular membership card gets a 5% discount, and a premium membership card gets a 10% discount. That could save you a lot."

Zhao Zhonghua: "It could indeed save a lot. But I don’t have a membership card."

"I have one," Yang Chen said, then handed a premium card to the waiter.

Zhao Zhonghua and Zhao Chunxue were so stunned their mouths could fit an egg.

Are you kidding?

A delivery guy with a premium card for Tang Pavilion?

That’s a card requiring at least a million spent annually!

A ride-hailing driver delivering food as a sideline, spending a million a year on Tang Pavilion’s meals?

That card has to be fake!
