The production crew, after seeing Su Yang leave with Yang Mange, quickly got into their filming vehicle and followed closely behind. A drone carried the camera, zooming in on the two of them. Yang Mange tried to release her grip on Su Yang, but as soon as she loosened it slightly, the vehicle suddenly jolted. Startled, she quickly clutched Su Yang's waist again.
It was late October in Songhai, and autumn was gradually giving way to late autumn. Although the harsh winter had not yet arrived, the gentle, cool breeze still brought a hint of chill. Yang Mange, despite wearing a trench coat, found that the low neckline of her inner garment couldn't block out the cool air. She was feeling a bit cold. Thus, her hands, wrapped around Su Yang's waist, began to tighten slowly.
Sensing the slight tremor from his back, Su Yang gradually slowed down his ride. This scene was, of course, broadcast live to the viewers. However, this time, the audience's comments were not as hostile as before. Instead, they had completely shifted in tone.
"Doesn't it seem like these two are a bit of a match?"
"On a street in late autumn, a warm embrace on the back of a cold motorcycle... *sob sob sob*, when will I find a boyfriend like this?"
"If it weren't for your comments making me break character, I would really think this was an idol drama being filmed."
"Speaking of which, our Goddess Yang has never taken on a romantic role, right? Tsk tsk tsk, seeing it in a variety show."
"Lock it down! Lock this couple down for me!"
...
The Michelin UV restaurant was located on a bustling street in Songhai, quite a distance from where the blind date had taken place. By the time Su Yang and Yang Mange arrived, night had quietly fallen. The production crew, who had been following Su Yang all along, also discreetly arrived. When they saw the restaurant's sign, even with prior expectations, they were still quite surprised upon arriving. They knew that the best place they had filmed in previous shows was a private kitchen in Songhai, but that was because the protagonist that time was dissatisfied with the location booked by the crew and paid for the change themselves.
"Holy cow, it really is this restaurant."
"The third most expensive place in the world, I've never been there. I wonder if they serve food in gold bowls here."
"Upstairs, you don't know. The chopsticks here are made of gold."
"More than that, I think the food is endless steamed buns."
"You guys clearly lack experience. Steamed buns? It must be endless Roujiamo."
"I think we should be more ambitious. It should be endless lamb skewers!"
"I want to see Big Boss Su Yang and the Goddess spend money, with the boss booking the entire place!"
Due to a rather dull segment of the journey in the middle, some impatient viewers had exited the livestream, causing a slight dip in popularity. However, as soon as the UV restaurant's sign appeared, the popularity immediately surged.
Upon arriving, Su Yang let Yang Mange off at the entrance of the restaurant. "I'll go find parking first. You wait here for me."
"Okay."
The night wind blew. Yang Mange wrapped her coat tighter around herself, her expression a little unnatural. The faint warmth lingered on her arms, a result of her tight embrace with Su Yang throughout the journey. "It's just filming... just filming." She took a deep breath, trying to dispel any inappropriate thoughts from her mind. Then, while no one was around, she secretly contacted her company's finance department. Learning that the market value was slowly stabilizing, Yang Mange breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, as long as I can persuade Su Yang to buy back those stocks he sold later, the market value still has a chance to return to its original value." She put away her phone, feeling a growing sense of reassurance.
Just then, a taxi pulled up to the front of the restaurant. A fashionably dressed young woman stepped out. She wore a short, oversized beige wool sweater on her upper body and a pair of retro checkered, loose-fitting, floor-length pants. A bag with a prominent LV logo was slung over her arm. After getting out of the car, the woman paused, looking at the restaurant, a slight, somewhat ostentatious smile playing on her lips. However, when her gaze swept over Yang Mange, her eyes twitched. Every woman has a competitive streak, and beauty is often the biggest source of comparison.
"Dressed in designer clothes, she clearly looks like she's being kept!" The woman snorted disdainfully and was about to look away. Yang Mange was not far from her, and the woman's voice was quite loud, so she clearly heard her. Yang Mange merely frowned and subtly moved away from the woman. Yang Mange not only had a career as a celebrity but was also the boss of a large company. She had heard all sorts of harsh and sarcastic remarks during her entrepreneurial journey and wasn't about to be rattled by such a minor incident.
"Yiyi, have you been waiting long?" At this moment, a man in a casual suit emerged from the parking lot. Seeing this man, the woman with the designer bag immediately smiled and walked towards him. "Darling~ No, I just arrived!" Zhang Yiyi naturally linked her arm with the man in the suit and said coquettishly, "Oh, honestly, it's just a casual meal, why spend so much to come to a place like this." As she spoke, she subtly scanned her surroundings, "This is a Michelin three-star restaurant. But that's good, it'll give my aunt and my good-for-nothing cousin a chance to see how capable my darling is!"
The man looked a bit bewildered. "Didn't you choose this place yourself?"
The next moment, Zhang Yiyi let out a surprised gasp. Because amidst a parking lot filled with luxury cars, a sports car, so ostentatious it was almost arrogant, was parked imposingly in front of her. The car's emblem was a shield with red and yellow hues. Seeing this sports car, Zhang Yiyi's eyes softened instantly. She looked up at the man she was holding and said softly, "Xingwei, this Koenigsegg is another surprise from you, isn't it? You don't have to rent a sports car just to help me save face, silly."
Hearing the woman's words, Chen Xingwei blinked in confusion. "???"
"You're at a crucial stage in your company. I'm not a gold-digger. Don't do this next time." After saying this, Zhang Yiyi, still looking smug, linked arms with Chen Xingwei and entered the restaurant. "Let's go see what kind of woman my annoying cousin has found. I heard he brought his blind date tonight too. Given his circumstances, it's bound to be an ugly woman." Thinking of her cousin, Zhang Yiyi felt a surge of anger. Years ago, after she got tired of her ex-boyfriend, she had confessed to her cousin, but he had been unappreciative, saying they weren't compatible. "Hmph, the swan meat was delivered right to your doorstep, and the toad didn't know how to cherish it!" Now that she had brought such an excellent boyfriend, she was determined to make her cousin and aunt furious tonight!
