After Chen Tianming left, Mr. Wang approached Jiang Bei and Duan Fei and asked, “Do you have any requests?”

Jiang Bei and Duan Fei had superior looks when they heard his query. Chen Tianming’s arrangement slightly mollified them; otherwise, they would probably be busy scheming against him right now.

If they had bothered to look closely, they would’ve seen the impatience on Mr. Wang’s face. After all, Mr. Wang understood the subtext behind Chen Tianming’s departing words.

These two brainless idiots dared to call themselves Young Master’s friends! If it wasn’t for the mission the Young Master left him, he really didn’t want to talk to them.

Jiang Bei put on airs as he said, “I want a set of tables and chairs identical to these. Do you have them here?”

As he said this, Jiang Bei showed a picture of the classroom tables and chairs he had on his phone to Mr. Wang.

When Mr. Wang saw the picture, surprise flashed across his eyes. He asked Jiang Bei directly, “Are you sure you want the same set?”

Jiang Bei didn’t like Mr. Wang’s current tone, so his voice darkened as he said, “What do you mean by that? Do you think I can’t afford it?”

Duan Fei knew he was angry from his tone of voice. He also knew that his chance to show off had come again.

He stood up and echoed Jiang Bei, “That’s right! Jiang Bei isn’t someone who lacks money! We want the exact same thing in the picture!”

Since Duan Fei had already said so, Mr. Wang had even less need to persuade him otherwise. After all, he was Chen Tianming’s subordinate, so he naturally sided with his Young Master.

Hence, Mr. Wang took a copy of the photo, handed it to his staff, and ordered, “Hurry up and assemble this table and chair set that we made a few years ago!”

Jiang Bei’s expression lightened up when he heard Mr. Wang’s instructions.

Since the matter had been resolved, they didn’t need to stay any longer. Otherwise, they wouldn’t make it in time to pick Jiang Bei’s sister up after her class ended.

As they were about to leave, Mr. Wang called out to them. “Please wait. Who will be paying the deposit?”

A trace of joy flashed across Duan Fei’s face when he heard this.

‘Thank you, Mr. Wang, for giving me so many chances to make myself look good in front of Jiang Bei today!’

If Mr. Wang kept providing these opportunities, he was confident he would be able to win over his brother-in-law in no time.

With this thought in mind, Duan Fei spoke up before Jiang Bei could say anything. “Jiang Bei, you don’t have to pay for the deposit. Let me pay for it instead!”

Duan Fei them hooked his finger at Mr. Wang in a particularly pretentious manner as he said, “Let’s go pay the deposit!”

A trace of disdain flashed in Mr. Wang’s eyes at Duan Fei’s behavior, but he just politely said, “Alright, this way, please!”

Mr. Wang brought Duan Fei to the counter and gave him a bill.

“Young Master Duan, this is the down payment invoice. Take a look; if there’s no problem, would you like to pay by card or scan a QR code?”

Duan Fei just casually glanced over the invoice, but when he saw the number of zeroes on it, he was dumbfounded.

‘Holy sh*t! What the f*ck is going on?’

‘Was this a table and chair set or a stack of gold? It was more expensive than buying a gold bracelet, and not just by a small sum! It was actually a hundred times more expensive than a gold bracelet!’

‘This is clearly a scam!’

But Duan Fei feared that if he were too vocal in his complaints about the set’s exorbitant price, the female staff member he was with previously would hear of it and think that he was a cheapskate or a poseur.

That wasn’t beneficial to the development of their relationship!

So Duan Fei lowered his voice and whispered to Mr. Wang, “Didn’t Tianming ask you to give us a discount? Did you make the reduction?”

Mr. Wang said directly, “Young Master, I’ve already given you a discount, a steep one at that! The materials used for the custom-made tables and chairs are top quality; the custom table and chair set is a steal at this price!”

Duan Fei felt that Mr. Wang was talking nonsense. He was about to argue with him when Jiang Bei suddenly shouted from a distance away, “Duan Fei, Lianlian has finished her classes; we should head over now! She was a little excited when she heard you would be picking her up!”

Jiang Bei certainly had a way with words; he had Duan Fei well under his thumb.

Upon hearing that Jiang Lianlian was very excited to see him, Duan Fei readily handed his card over and said, “I’ll pay by card!”

Mr. Wang took the card. After the deposit was paid, he watched them leave.

Duan Fei got to his car in high spirits, thrilled that he would be meeting Lianlian soon. However, his mood was ruined when he saw the dents all over his car. It looked like someone went at it with a hammer; there were even bits of unknown fruit on the vehicle.

When he saw this scene, Duan Fei finally couldn’t hold in his fury anymore. Just as he was about to curse, Jiang Bei’s voice suddenly sounded, “What’s wrong, Duan Fei? Lianlian said she’s already at the school gate!”

Duan Fei’s anger faded, and he quickly got in his car and drove off to pick up Jiang Lianlian. She was already waiting outside when they arrived.

When she saw Jiang Bei and Duan Fei, Jiang Lianlian checked her reflection in the mirror and straightened her clothes.

However, disappointment flashed across her face when she saw that Chen Tianming wasn’t with them. They hadn’t talked to each other ever since the last time they met at the villa.

When Jiang Bei asked her to go out, she thought Tianming would be there, so she agreed. If she knew Chen Tianming wouldn’t be here, she wouldn’t have come in the first place!

Although Jiang Lianlian thought so in her heart, she also knew they needed Duan Fei; she couldn’t ignore him. Therefore, Jiang Lianlian smiled sweetly at Duan Fei.

When Duan Fei saw Jiang Lianlian, he felt that all his previous efforts and sacrifices were worth it.

Duan Fei drove the Jiang siblings to his family’s restaurant, and his face was full of excitement as he told them, “Lianlian, I’ll have you know, this is our family’s first star-rated restaurant! And recently, I heard from my dad that this restaurant would be publicly listed soon!”

“I’ll get the head chef to cook a meal for you personally! Normally, you would have to make an appointment in advance if you want to eat the food cooked by the head chef here.”

When Jiang Lianlian heard that, she was about to say some pretty words and praises when they heard someone complaining loudly.

“If she doesn’t apologize to me today, I’ll give this restaurant a bad review! Just so you know, I’m a celebrity blogger with millions of fans!”

The fuss attracted their attention, and they looked toward the blogger.

To their surprise, they saw Su Xiaonuan hiding behind an angry-looking Chen Tianming.

Jiang Bei looked at the belligerent blogger and thought she looked familiar. Suddenly, he remembered she was his boss’ girl.

‘Did the boss already initiate the plan?’ Jiang Bei thought as he walked toward Chen Tianming.
