131: Chapter 131 Silence (Second Update) 131: Chapter 131 Silence (Second Update) “It’s fine, but regarding the mecha order, I still need my teacher’s help to handle it, as I can’t trust anyone else.”
Su Ming thought for a moment and requested Jiang Yu’s assistance.
“I understand.
I’ll follow up on this matter for you.
Just wait a moment, I’ll go get a sales contract and then sign it in your name.”
Jiang Yu naturally knew what Su Ming was concerned about, so he agreed.
“Thank you so much, teacher.”
Su Ming said with great gratitude.
“There’s no need for such formalities between us.”
Jiang Yu promptly left to draft the contract.
After a long while.
Su Ming and Lin Chuyu stepped out of the Thunder Group building.
By that time, the rain had already stopped, the air humidity had significantly increased, and even the air quality had improved noticeably, giving people a refreshing feeling.
“Thank you for this time.
If it hadn’t been for you, I might have been taken advantage of and would never have been able to order the mecha at such a low price.”
Lin Chuyu said to Su Ming with much gratitude.
Just now, Lin Chuyu had transferred 250 million Federation currency to Su Ming, who then ordered a Third Generation Machine·Wind Chaser in his own name and also drafted a transfer contract for Lin Chuyu.
“Cough cough, there’s no need to thank me that much.”
Su Ming felt a bit embarrassed at the moment; after all, he had earned a billion Federation currency from her, even though it was rightfully his earnings.
“But now that you’ve given your order slot to me, are you sure you’ll be okay?”
Lin Chuyu asked with some concern.
“Don’t worry about it, I have my own considerations.”
Su Ming responded in a very good mood.
“Then Su Ming, let me take you out for a meal.”
Lin Chuyu thought for a moment and said softly.
“Alright, let’s just pick a place nearby.
There’s a bustling commercial street close by; we can just find any restaurant there.”
Su Ming didn’t refuse.
The two of them strolled along the street, chatting leisurely as they headed towards the transit station.
Soon after, Su Ming and Lin Chuyu arrived at the commercial street.
They walked leisurely into it, searching along the commercial road for a good restaurant.
They quickly spotted a rather distinctive restaurant tucked in a corner, called Tricolor Memories.
The restaurant’s entrance was shaped like an arch bridge, decorated with mahogany.
“Su Ming, that restaurant looks quite nice; let’s go eat there.”
Lin Chuyu suggested to Su Ming.
“Sure.”
Su Ming glanced at it and then headed towards Tricolor Memories with Lin Chuyu.
In no time, the two arrived at Tricolor Memories.
The interior of the restaurant was lavishly decorated, with the floor laid with expensive Black Star Rock.
There were several pots of green plants in the corners, and they had even created a smoky artificial mountain.
“Welcome, sir and miss, do you have a reservation?”
Two female waitresses in white, form-fitting uniforms and scarves around their necks greeted them enthusiastically.
“No, we’d just like a table in the main dining area for the two of us.”
Lin Chuyu shook her head and replied.
“Very well, please follow us.”
The waitresses led Su Ming and Lin Chuyu to a table by the window.
Su Ming and Lin Chuyu then took their seats.
“Here are our menus.
Please take a look, and when you’re ready to order, just press the call bell beside you.”
The waitress handed them two menus and then left politely.
Su Ming and Lin Chuyu opened the menus, but as soon as they saw the prices, they were momentarily struck silent.
Supreme Steak (Pure Natural): 1M
Carp Leaping Over Dragon Gate: 800K
Jade Heart: 130K
…
Su Ming and Lin Chuyu looked at each other with slightly unnatural expressions.
Eventually, Su Ming coughed and suggested tactfully.
“Chuyu, why don’t we go back to the school to eat?
I think the school cafeteria is quite good, and it’s also more affordable.”
Lin Chuyu’s cheeks were a bit red as she replied somewhat embarrassedly.
“Is that really appropriate?
How about we try another place?”
“There’s no need.
Let’s just go back to the cafeteria.”
Su Ming replied unconcernedly.
“Okay.”
Lin Chuyu bit her lip and reluctantly agreed.
Despite appearing wealthy when purchasing mechas, the money was allocated solely for that purpose, leaving her with a modest personal budget.
Here, a single dish exceeded her financial threshold.
As such, the two of them stood and headed out, at which point two female waitresses who had been standing by quickly approached them and asked.
“Sir, miss, what’s happening?”
“Sorry, something came up, and we won’t be dining.”
Su Ming frankly informed the waitress.
“No worries, take your time leaving.”
The waitresses didn’t seem to mind and said with a smile.
Su Ming and Lin Chuyu let out a small sigh of relief and continued towards the exit.
Watching the pair leave, the two waitresses whispered among themselves.
“Looks like that couple probably came from a small town and overestimated themselves.
Not everyone can afford to dine in the restaurants of Starlight City.”
“Hehe, right!”
…
At that moment, the restaurant doors were pushed open, and in came a youth dressed in a trendy black hoodie, wearing sunglasses, and exuding a reckless air, followed by a man in a high-end custom white shirt, standing tall with a prominent nose and a distinguished air.
“Yo!
Beikaen, look over there.
Isn’t that our classmate Lin Chuyu?
What is she doing here?
And she’s with a handsome guy, too.
Could he be her boyfriend?”
“Ajika, there’s no need to make a fuss.
Even if he is her boyfriend, I like it more when the difficulty is higher.”
Beikaen said with a corner of his mouth turned up in a smile to Ajika.
“Masochist!
Let’s just go over and say hello.”
Ajika shrugged helplessly and replied.
Beikaen then led Ajika over to Su Ming and Lin Chuyu and greeted them like a gentleman.
“Chuyu, what a coincidence!
Didn’t expect to bump into you here.”
“Quite the coincidence.”
Lin Chuyu showed a hint of surprise upon seeing them, not expecting to encounter her classmates.
Su Ming looked at the two with slight surprise, his first reaction being that they were no ordinary people.
Although he couldn’t spot any obvious signs of luxury on them, their overall demeanor radiated aristocratic temperament.
“And who is this?”
Beikaen asked with a smile.
“This is my friend Su Ming; these two are my schoolmates, Ajika and Beikaen.”
Lin Chuyu introduced them politely.
“Pleased to meet you!”
Beikaen extended his hand to Su Ming very gentlemanly.
“Likewise!”
Su Ming also politely reached out and shook his hand.
“You haven’t dined yet, have you?
This restaurant is quite good.
It’s a rare occasion to meet, so how about we have dinner together?
My treat?”
Beikaen could tell at a glance they hadn’t eaten there.
This restaurant, despite its remote location, was of a very high standard, something most ordinary people couldn’t afford.
“No, thank you.”
Lin Chuyu declined without hesitation, seemingly not keen on getting too close to the two.
“Don’t be so cold, Lin the beauty!
Give us a chance to court you too.”
Ajika said with a humorous tone.
Upon seeing this, Su Ming quickly spoke up.
