Kong Xirong stood there and thought for a long time. Finally, she very unhappily asked the proprietress to set up another table next to Chen Jiuyang.
Before long, the proprietress brought the dishes Chen Jiuyang ordered, including the grilled fish, to the table. The proprietress thought Chen Jiuyang and Kong Xirong sharing a table meant they were friends, so she placed the dishes in the middle of the two tables.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jiuyang spoke, "Proprietress, why are you placing the dishes so far away?"
"Ah?" The proprietress was stunned and looked at the two of them. "Aren't you friends?"
"No," Chen Jiuyang said.
The proprietress looked embarrassed. "Customer, I'm so sorry, so sorry."
She then moved the dishes Chen Jiuyang ordered to his table, and Chen Jiuyang and Fang Bahua began to eat.
Kong Xirong was dumbfounded. She had never met such an extraordinary man and was even questioning her own life. Was she not good-looking, or lacking in charm?
This man truly ignored her completely.
The viewers in her live stream were even more furious, cursing Chen Jiuyang as a loser and an idiot, destined to be single forever. They called him just a migrant worker and asked what was so great about him.
Kong Xirong called the proprietress over and ordered some dishes for herself.
While waiting for the food, Kong Xirong watched Chen Jiuyang sitting beside her, eating with great relish. The atmosphere was very awkward.
She couldn't help but complain inwardly, didn't this man have any chivalry?
At this moment, a comment popped up in Kong Xirong's live stream: "Rongrong, I think I've seen the person next to you somewhere before."
Kong Xirong recognized the person who sent the comment. She was a celebrity agent who was often active on major live streaming platforms, looking for budding stars to cultivate. Kong Xirong herself was a singing streamer and was quite well-known online.
Kong Xirong said, "Sister Qing, I haven't seen you in a while. Have you resumed work?"
Sister Qing replied in the live stream, "Yes, I'm also in Suhang now, doing some promotional activities with the boss in Suhang."
"Wow!" Kong Xirong exclaimed, "Sister Qing, which big star are you following now?"
"Hehe, it's a secret for now, I can't tell you yet," Sister Qing typed in the live stream. "I've been busy all day, and only now that I'm free can I play with my phone."
"The boss is calling me, I have to go back to work."
Kong Xirong said, "Go ahead, I wish Sister Qing more and more success in her work."
At this moment, Kong Xirong's right hand holding her phone became sore. She switched to her left hand, and it was at this moment that Fang Bahua, dressed in a suit, appeared in the live stream.
"Wow, this old man is so handsome."
"This old man is too stylish! Even though he's wearing a suit, his muscles can't be hidden. So handsome, my god!"
Kong Xirong then noticed Fang Bahua sitting to her right. She looked him over. This old man was indeed very stylish, appearing to be in his fifties or sixties, but he was wearing a suit, exuding great spirit, with a ruddy complexion and an indescribably attractive aura.
Someone in the live stream continued, "This old man is definitely not ordinary. He's wearing custom-made clothes from 'Shuo Jie', a very famous tailor from the Qing Dynasty."
Kong Xirong had also heard of the brand 'Shuo Jie'. It was a very famous private tailoring shop in Longguo, only doing private custom orders. A set of clothes would likely cost over a hundred thousand.
Longguo was truly a place where dragons and hidden tigers resided; an old man wearing a suit could cost over a hundred thousand.
The person in the live stream continued, "This old man isn't just rich, the watch he's wearing costs four to five million."
Kong Xirong was also stunned. A watch costing four to five million meant his net worth must be over a hundred million. But why would such an old man come to eat at such a roadside stall?
Fang Bahua noticed Kong Xirong looking at him and said, "Young lady, don't stare too long."
"Sir, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Kong Xirong apologized, having stared at the old man for quite some time.
Just then, Granny Hui appeared behind Chen Jiuyang, smiling and saying, "Young Master Chen, it's getting late. It's time to go home."
"What's the rush? I'll go back after I finish eating," Chen Jiuyang said nonchalantly.
"Young Master?" Kong Xirong and everyone in the live stream were stunned. This ordinary-looking guy was being called Young Master Chen. Could something be mistaken?
Then, Granny Hui saw Kong Xirong, dressed somewhat flamboyantly, and squinted with a smile. "So, Young Master Chen doesn't want to go home because he met a wild flower outside? It's understandable. Young Master Chen is young and vigorous, with unparalleled talent, so there will always be some common women trying to latch onto you."
Kong Xirong's face immediately showed anger. What? She was a common woman, and she wanted to latch onto this young man? Was there some mistake? What nonsense was this old woman spouting?
The people in the live stream were even more enraged, cursing Granny Hui and Chen Jiuyang.
"This old hag can't say anything good! Calling my Rongrong a common woman, that's hilarious."
Chen Jiuyang frowned. "Granny Hui, I don't know her. We're just sharing a table to eat. Don't talk nonsense."
Granny Hui said, "If that's the case, then Young Master Chen, please come back with me. Whatever you want to eat, just order the servants to make it. Why waste time outside?"
Chen Jiuyang's brow furrowed. "Alright, I understand. Uncle Fang, settle the bill."
"Yes, Young Master." Fang Bahua stopped eating, stood up, and said to Kong Xirong, "Young lady, please move aside. I'm going to pay the bill."
"Young Master?" This distinguished-looking old man called this scruffy young man Young Master? Could this scruffy young man be some rich young master?
Kong Xirong was stunned. Then she stood up and said, "Okay."
Chen Jiuyang also got up to leave, waiting for Fang Bahua to pay the bill.
Granny Hui smiled. "Thank you, Young Master Chen, for understanding the difficulties of us servants."
At this moment, a woman wearing a baseball cap drove past Chen Jiuyang. A hint of confusion flickered in her eyes. Why was he here? She wanted to stop and catch up with Chen Jiuyang, but remembering the troubles she was in, she decided to do it later.
After Fang Bahua paid the bill, a girl came into the roadside stall and bumped into Fang Bahua. The girl exclaimed, "Excuse me, excuse me."
Then, the girl looked up at Fang Bahua and felt she had seen him somewhere before, but couldn't quite recall. Immediately after, she saw Chen Jiuyang standing beside him and was greatly shocked, stammering, "Young... Young Master..."
"Hmm?" Chen Jiuyang saw Chen Zifeng and then smiled. "You're out for a meal too?"
"Yes, yes..." Chen Zifeng said nervously.
"Eat slowly, I'm leaving," Chen Jiuyang said calmly. He got into the car and slowly drove away.
Chen Zifeng sat opposite Kong Xirong. "Rongrong, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Kong Xirong was stunned. "Fengfeng, do you know that young man from just now?"
"Are you talking about Young Master?" Chen Zifeng said with a blush. "He's the Young Master of our Chen family. I just met him today. Young Master is an incredibly important figure."
"An incredibly important figure?" Kong Xirong was dumbfounded, and her live stream exploded.
