Chapter 17: I Don’t Need Any Special Arrangements!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
While he was emotional, there were some things that he had to admit. For example, this room that was 20,000 dollars a night was indeed a kind of enjoyment. Behind the luxury was excessive comfort. Tsk tsk, especially this big bed. Lying on it was as if one was lying on the clouds.
“Ah! This is reality! For a person living in a city, on one side is heaven, with singing and dancing, and on the other side is a painful life where one even worries about filling his stomach every day!” Chen Yi looked through the large French window. Looking at the bright lights outside, he couldn’t help but sigh. Capitalism! This was the difference…
He was a little sleepy as he lay there. His eyes were slightly closed, and he felt that he was about to sleep. Just as he was falling asleep, his phone started buzzing. It seemed like someone had sent him a message.
Chen Yi’s eyes were blurry. He picked up his phone and saw that it was Zhang Shi.
He frowned slightly. He… he had obtained all of the medicinal herbs so quickly?
He checked the message and saw that Zhang Shi had sent him a smiley face emoticon. Following this, he said, “Doctor Chen, I have already paid for everything. You can rest assured and have fun for a few days. If you are dissatisfied with anything, feel free to let me know!”
Chen Yi was completely baffled. Was he talking about the bill for this room? Chen Yi already knew! Strange…
Just as he was feeling puzzled, his phone vibrated again. It was a friend request.
Hm? He didn’t remember giving out his Wechat information. No one asked him for it either… Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and continued to be puzzled. However, he still looked at the main page of the user that added him. The name was Lolicon Lin Wan Wan.
Her profile picture was cute. The photos in her Wechat moments were also quite adorable, so Chen Yi approved the friend request without thinking.
Not long after, Lin Wan Wan sent a message.
Lin Wan Wan: “Hello, boss. I’m Lin Wan Wan. I’ll be in your care! Finger heart emoticon~ ”
Chen Yi frowned and directly sent a message: “What do you mean by ‘boss’? Did you add the wrong person? I don’t know you…”
After sending the message, he curled his lips and smiled. What the h*ll? Calling him ‘boss’ right away? Was this girl alright? It can’t be…
Lin Wan Wan replied very quickly. “Smiling with narrowed eyes emoticon, shy emoticon! That’s not it, I didn’t add the wrong person. Are you shy, boss? Or is it not a convenient time right now? I understand I understand!”
Chen Yi was even more confused, “What the h*ll? Not a convenient time for me? Wait a minute!”
Lin Wan Wan ignored his words and continued, “If I didn’t get the wrong person, then boss, I’ll be in your care!”
Chen Yi was a little speechless. This girl must have added the wrong person!
He was not a boss at all, but this girl pretended that she didn’t add the wrong person. In addition, Chen Yi was still in a good mood, so they started chatting.
Cheng Zi: “Alright pretty girl, did you just graduate from university? Working in Yu City? What kind of work do you do?”
Lin Wan Wan: “Well, I just graduated not long ago. I’m from another city, but I work in Yu City. As for my job… I’m a freelancer!”
This was the first time Chen Yi heard about freelancing. He tilted his head in doubt. What the h*ll? Was there such a job?
Cheng Zi: “Really, I asked you seriously what kind of work you do.”
Lin Wan Wan: “I also answered seriously! I don’t really have a job. Of course, if I have the time, I’ll go out and do some makeup modeling as well.”
‘Modeling! I didn’t realize that this cute girl could be a model! She’s really something.’
But Chen Yi still felt that she added the wrong person. This girl probably wanted to contact someone about modeling.
Cheng Zi: “That’s pretty good, but I still think you added the wrong person… Beautiful Wan Wan, I’m not a boss.”
Not long after, Lin Wan Wan typed a few question marks.
Lin Wan Wan: “That’s strange. Aren’t you a friend of Boss Zhang Shi? I don’t remember adding the wrong person!”
Uh… Zhang Shi? Chen Yi felt as though he had been fooled, he continued typing: “I do know a person called Zhang Shi. He’s the coal mine boss in the north of Yu City. He’s married to a wife much younger than him and they have a six-year-old daughter. Which Zhang Shi are you talking about?”
Lin Wan Wan: “Ah! That’s right! He’s Boss Zhang Shi with a loving family picture as his Wechat profile picture and he’s holding a big gold chain!”
Then, Lin Wan Wan sent a screenshot. This was the same person!
Chen Yi continued asking: “Yes, it’s him. So you and Zhang Shi are considered friends?”
Lin Wan Wan hesitated: “Not really, I’m not too familiar with him. We met at a dinner party before, but we didn’t really contact each other after that. It’s just that he might consider me once in a while when he has a job available.”
Upon seeing this, Chen Yi suddenly understood something. His expression changed slightly, and he immediately closed Wechat to call Zhang Shi.
Zhang Shi quickly picked up the call, and in a flattering tone, he asked, “Doctor Chen, what’s wrong? Is there anything else that you’re not satisfied with?”
For a moment, Chen Yi did not know what to say. “That… Mr. Zhang, did you arrange something else for me?”
Hearing this, Zhang Shi felt that Chen Yi was unable to freely express himself. He chuckled and said, “Oh, about that, it was indeed arranged. Don’t worry about it. It’s just a 50,000 dollars set meal, a small matter.”
This laughter was something that all men understood. Chen Yi’s mouth twitched slightly. Ah… F*ck! Other than swearing, he didn’t know how to describe his current mood.
Regarding this matter, Zhang Shi had mentioned it implicitly and explicitly during the meal earlier. However, Chen Yi had clearly said that there was no need for it.
Zhang Shi laughed dryly. “It’s alright. Doctor Chen is full of vigor. I understand I understand!”
‘Understand my foot!’ Chen Yi rubbed his hair in distress. His golden finger would even jump up and down from time to time.
“I really want to chop you up!” He glared at his golden finger.
Chen Yi had not hung up the phone, Zhang Shi didn’t hear him clearly on the other end, “Doctor Chen, what did you say?”
Chen Yi only felt that the phone next to his ear was frighteningly hot. He exhaled deeply to calm himself down.
‘Calm down… calm… your head! I really don’t need it! Why was he so enthusiastic! Tell me, what’s with the way he used fifty thousand dollars? Why didn’t he just give me cash or a red packet! Wasting it just like that… was this a way for rich people to spend money when they didn’t know where to spend it?’
Chen Yi’s heart turned cold. In the end, he said in a deep voice, “Mr. Zhang, I really don’t need it. See if you can get this money refunded. It’s such a waste and such a pity.”
Zhang Shi didn’t care about money, but Chen Yi did!
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Shi was still smiling, “Doctor Chen, how can I return this after buying it? It’s fine. If you don’t want to use it today, you can save it for another day. Who knows, you might suddenly feel like chatting with someone one day to relieve your boredom… and then…”
“Stop, stop, stop!” Chen Yi immediately stopped Zhang Shi from continuing. He didn’t know what to say either. Fortunately, he found an excuse to hang up the phone, “Alright then. It’s getting late, and I plan to rest.. You should go to bed early too.”
