An affection rating of 80 meant she was already starting to consider it.
Whether she should pursue a more intimate relationship with Qi Sheng.
Treating Qi Sheng and Zong Rui to a lavish dinner before she came to a decision would ease her conscience a little.
"Well then, we won’t be shy, Sister Man."
Qi Sheng didn’t know many restaurants in Shanghai, so he simply let Qu Man pick the place.
Qu Man chose a well-regarded Western restaurant and sent the location to Qi Sheng.
Driving his Bentley with two beautiful women in tow, he arrived at Yanyan Western Restaurant, located next to the East Lake Hotel.
The decor was very American in style; it was an authentic steakhouse.
"Manman, this place is so expensive! The tomahawk steak is 3,280!"
Zong Rui suddenly felt hesitant to order it.
She knew how hard her best friend worked for her money.
"I’m not that broke. I can still afford to treat you two to a nice dinner," Qu Man said with a smile, reassuring Zong Rui.
"Besides, I’m about to start at Banyan Tree Group. My pre-tax annual salary will be 500,000."
"Oh, right! I almost forgot you were switching jobs. I should get used to calling you the boss’s wife."
Zong Rui said, teasing Qu Man with a smile.
"If you don’t call me the boss’s wife, watch out. I might just make things hard for you."
"Oh yeah? Let’s see how you like it when I tickle you..."
Watching the two of them horsing around, Qi Sheng had no choice but to take over the task of ordering.
"The pre-dinner bread, a tomahawk steak, slow-cooked salmon salad, French oysters, beef carpaccio, American-style thick-cut beef tongue, a sea urchin and butter rice bowl, and three fresh-squeezed orange juices."
As Qi Sheng ordered, he deliberately estimated the total cost, keeping it under 5,000.
As for the dining experience, it was decent enough.
It was worth the price, but nothing particularly amazing.
’And to think a restaurant like this, costing over a thousand per person, could be this popular.’
’If Yu Tu and Zifei opened a place with a buff from the system in the future...’
’...their business would probably be even more explosive.’
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Qi Sheng and the others first accompanied Qu Man to her rented apartment to pick up her luggage.
Since she had changed jobs, she naturally had to change where she lived.
The apartment Qu Man was renting was only three kilometers from the Regent Hotel, where she used to work.
"China Real Estate East China Building?"
"Manman, this place you’re living in is a bit too shabby, isn’t it?"
After getting out of the car, Zong Rui curiously sized up the old-fashioned apartment building before her, which looked to be over a decade old.
It was worlds apart from the National Gold Mansion she lived in back in Chengdu.
"What, you think this is Chengdu? Rent for a place like this is 6,000 a month."
Qu Man rolled her eyes at Zong Rui and led them into the apartment building.
She pressed the button for the 11th floor. Watching the elevator shake, Qu Man felt a little embarrassed.
But this was the best place she could afford within her budget.
"Manman, you’ve really had it rough."
Zong Rui hugged Qu Man’s arm.
Thinking of her own place, she couldn’t help but feel her heart ache for her best friend.
To be so stunningly beautiful, yet live in such an ordinary residential complex.
If anyone found out, they’d find it hard to believe.
