0040: Drinks

In a small port in the Eastern Ocean that no one cared about, Xue Yang jumped off Elder Yu's boat.

After Elder Yu stabilized his treasured fishing boat, he sighed and said, "I'm really sorry. I wasn't able to help you this time."

The gunny sack Xue Yang used to hold the four-sided cauldron seemed pointless to Elder Yu. The four-sided cauldron had already been confiscated, so what use was there in keeping the gunny sack?

After many busy days and nights with Song Yu, Xue Yang had grown accustomed to Song Yu wanting to peek at him while he ate, even if he indulged in a huge meal at night.

For his visit to the Magnificent Tang Hotel, Xue Yang chose a set of casual clothes he considered high-quality, wore sneakers, took a taxi at the entrance, and headed there.

"Miss, may I ask where the girl wearing sky-blue clothes with long hair and big eyes is dining?" Xue Yang asked the attendant on duty at the reception desk.

However, the area was vast, and no matter how good the duty officer's memory was, he didn't know which one Xue Yang was referring to.

Seeing the confusion on the duty officer's face, Xue Yang laughed and continued, "She looks very gentle and touching. Hmm, how should I put it? She's the most beautiful person here."

The duty officer finally nodded, "Today there is indeed a beauty dressed very simply. Her seat is at the twelfth table."

Xue Yang gave him a thumbs up, then walked into the dining hall.

Noticing Song Yu talking with a man and a woman at the twelfth seat, Xue Yang didn't immediately approach. Instead, he walked over from a spot with his back facing Song Yu and sat not far behind her, allowing him to hear their conversation.

"My boyfriend just returned from studying in the United States, studying economics. He has a house in the United States and even said he wanted me to live with him there. Oh right, Song Yu, do you have a boyfriend now?" A flirtatious voice gave Xue Yang goosebumps.

He quickly drank a cup of milk tea to calm himself down. This wasn't about old friendships; rather, it seemed more like a show-off.

Their conversation entered a short silence, as Xue Yang understood it would be challenging for Song Yu to answer whether she had a boyfriend or not.

Embarrassed, Song Yu said, "I can't be considered a boyfriend, but I can't be considered a friend like family either."

"Oh, so you don't have a boyfriend. Song Yu, you're not young anymore; you should find a boyfriend. Looking at a shop by yourself is too stressful."

"No, actually I have..." Song Yu began, but her best friend interrupted, "I know the market price of jade isn't as high as it used to be, but no matter what, you can't just not find a boyfriend because of this."

Song Yu looked at Song Yu's back, and saw that the great beauty was drinking her fruit juice.

However, this girl smiled and said, "You can't keep drinking fruit juice. After all, we are already big. Drinking fruit juice is too childish. At this age, we need to drink red wine. Here, I'll pour it for you."

Hearing that, Xue Yang immediately sat up from his seat.

He walked to the side of table twelve, and upon seeing him, Song Yu opened her mouth in shock. Without waiting for Song Yu to speak, she directly drank half of the cup of wine.

"Say, who are you? Why are you so rude!" The woman's voice was clearly angry.

Song Yu hurriedly stood up and explained: "He is Xue Yang, and these two are Tang Doudou and Tang Doudou's boyfriend."

"He's not Tang Doudou's boyfriend; he's Sun Mingjie who just came back from America, and it won't be long before he goes back there again." The woman called Dou Dou added.

Song Yu laughed and said: "Alright, this is Sun Mingjie who came back from America."

Sun Mingjie only smiled slightly, still carefully reading a book the size of a palm. He had been reading it from the beginning and had not participated in the conversation until someone mentioned him. Only then did this young man dressed in formal attire politely raise his head.

After greeting them, Sun Mingjie returned to his original position.

Seeing his boyfriend looking so cool, Tang Doudou also said with a face full of infatuation: "My boyfriend is that serious when he does things; after all, he studies economics. Oh right, Song Yu, is this your boyfriend, and what does he do?"

Hearing her say that, Song Yu only laughed awkwardly: "He's not my boyfriend; he's my shop assistant. The reason the shop is still open is all because of Xue Yang."

Tang Doudou glanced at Xue Yang's casual attire, and then looked at her boyfriend's fashionable suit.

Comparing clothes? Xue Yang laughed in his heart. Did he have to carry a lot of jade with him for others to recognize his worth?

He obviously did not care about the woman's comparative psychology, but since Xue Yang alone did not feel like eating much, he didn't have anything to say. He just squeezed in beside Song Yu, and without saying anything further, he picked up Song Yu's steak with his fork.

Sun Mingjie frowned, whether it was because of Xue Yang's eating style or something in the book, it was unclear. However, Tang Doudou's disdain had already reached its limit, as if she was afraid the two people in front of her wouldn't know how much she despised Xue Yang.

"I say, Song Yu, how can you stand seeing this person walking around every day in front of your eyes?" Just as she finished speaking, Song Yu was wiping the oil stains on the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, smiling faintly.

"Song Yu!" Tang Doudou suddenly stood up angrily. "How can you be like that! With your conditions, you can definitely find a man with good conditions! However, she found a bumpkin! What can he give you? Don't be fooled by the flowery words of this kind of person; he wants to buy from your shop."

Regarding Tang Doudou's sudden outburst, Song Yu was extremely embarrassed: "Dou Dou, don't say that."

At this time, Xue Yang finally stood up and smiled: "I'm just here to see if our boss has drunk any wine, so don't think too much about it. Since I've delayed this young miss's mood, then I might as well leave."

After all, the woman in front of him was one of Song Yu's few friends. Unless it was a last resort, Xue Yang did not want to make everyone look bad.

At this time, Sun Mingjie was finally willing to put down the book, and as if he hadn't noticed Tang Doudou's anger at all, he immediately laughed and said: "You guys continue chatting; I'll settle the bill first. I've even made an appointment with the Jade Life Smoke Company's Boss Bai today, so I'm sorry to bother you guys."

Sun Ming

jie carried the Western etiquette to the extreme, and Tang Doudou, still holding grudges for her friend, borrowed the words: "Look, this is a man. To be able to treat his guests to a meal in such a high-end restaurant, even if it's the money, can you take it? This is the difference."

Seeing Tang Doudou's righteous words, Xue Yang finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. At this time, Song Yu kicked him under the table, signaling him not to laugh anymore.

He quickly waved his hand and said: "I'm afraid that Brother Sun Mingjie brought Miss Tang here because he wants to treat Boss Bai to a meal."

Sun Mingjie, who was once again mentioned, only kept his own little book inside his bag as if he did not hear his words.

But Tang Doudou took over and continued: "That's because my boyfriend is ambitious! What about you? Other than being a pretty boy, what other business do you have?"

"Tang Doudou, you are going too far. Things are not as you think!" At this time, even the good-natured Song Yu was angry and spoke seriously to his best friend.

Seeing that the two women were about to argue, Xue Yang used his hands to hug Song Yu and couldn't help but let out a laugh: "It's a misunderstanding. The main problem is that our Lady Boss's heart is still too soft and not as strong as Miss Tang."

Xue Yang did not use any inappropriate words, until Sun Mingjie was about to leave the table.

At this time, the manager of the lobby suddenly pushed a small cart and slowly walked over. Inside the cart was a bottle of red wine.

The lobby manager bowed politely, then said with a smile, "This is a bottle of 92-year-old treasure gifted by Boss Bai. Please enjoy."

Hearing that, Xue Yang immediately stood up and looked to the side. He laughed and asked: "Could it be that Boss Bai is really here?"

Tang Doudou looked at Xue Yang sarcastically: "Whether you come or not has nothing to do with a pretty boy. You're just a small employee in a small shop! My boyfriend Sun Mingjie is the one who is going to have a meal with Boss Bai later on, so this bottle of precious wine is obviously for my boyfriend!"

Sun Mingjie, who was about to leave, came back and picked up the bottle of red wine.

But also at this time, the waiter directly took the bottle of wine from Sun Mingjie's hands and continued to speak with a respectful tone: "I think the two of you are mistaken; this bottle of wine is for this mister."

With that, the manager of the hall personally placed the bottle of wine into Xue Yang's hands.

"May I know your name is Xue Yang?"

"Exactly." Xue Yang nodded.

The lobby manager smiled and said, "That's right. Mr. Bai told me to send a message to you and that the meeting will be canceled soon. Boss Bai said that he wants to have a few drinks with you, so please don't refuse."

While they were talking, Sun Mingjie's phone rang.
