Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier novel Chapter 361

Chapter 361: Chapter 193: Upgrade Progress: 2/3

Once Qi Sheng and Lai Manling were seated, the atmosphere grew noticeably colder.

Zhuang Xiaomeng’s male colleagues, in particular, looked very displeased.

The gifts they had given earlier were mostly things like brooches and sunglasses.

They were pricey designer items, but none of them broke the ten-thousand-yuan mark.

But then Qi Sheng arrived and gave her a Bvlgari pendant worth over four hundred thousand, utterly crushing them.

What frustrated them even more was yet to come.

"Boss, are we ready to serve the dishes?"

A waitress in a blue dress inside the private room respectfully asked Qi Sheng for his instructions.

Even though it was Zhuang Xiaomeng’s birthday party, Qi Sheng had somehow become the host.

"If no one else is coming, then let’s have the food. Have Zhou Yang cook personally."

Qi Sheng smiled and waved a hand. "And bring a few bottles of Maotai—make sure it’s a good vintage. For the ladies, two pitchers of fresh-squeezed juice."

"Yes, Boss."

The waitress in the blue dress respectfully left the room, leaving the group completely stunned.

"Mengmeng, is this handsome guy the owner of Zifei?"

A female colleague tugged on Zhuang Xiaomeng’s arm and asked curiously.

"That’s right. Besides Zifei, he also owns Spicy King over in Taikoo Li."

A hint of pride crept into Zhuang Xiaomeng’s voice as she made the introduction.

"Mengmeng, are you and he...?"

Her colleague gave her a suggestive look.

As someone with more experience, she knew this attitude all too well.

It was exactly how a girl acts when she’s showing off her boyfriend.

"Ah, we’re just good friends."

Zhuang Xiaomeng blushed deeply, flustered by her colleague’s question.

After all, Qi Sheng had arrived with Lai Manling.

How could she dare admit she had a crush on him?

Soon enough, Lai Manling’s gift arrived as well.

Two handsome young men in Black Swan uniforms...

...walked in carefully, carrying an enormous cake box.

The entire room was abuzz as everyone stared in amazement at the two-tiered black cake inside the box.

"Mengmeng, I remember that truffle chocolate is your favorite."

"So I ordered the ’Starlight Glory’ cake from Black Swan for you. I hope you like it."

Lai Manling was very close with Zhuang Xiaomeng and had clearly put a lot of thought into choosing the cake.

"Manling, thank you!"

Zhuang Xiaomeng was thrilled and overjoyed.

"Wow, Mengmeng, your friend is loaded! This cake costs 29,999."

A colleague next to her had curiously looked it up on the Black Swan official website.

At the very bottom, she found the price for this particular cake.

"29,999?"

Zhuang Xiaomeng was stunned, too. She had thought the cake would only cost a few thousand yuan.

"The price isn’t important, as long as Mengmeng likes it."

Lai Manling smiled and winked at Zhuang Xiaomeng.

"Besides, for a girl as beautiful as Mengmeng, attracting wealth isn’t exactly difficult."
