47: My host, I will pet
“Hmm… there’s nothing else, that’s all I can think of for now.”
Li Youqian, like most men, had no idea what he liked.
He felt like nothing mattered.
But since a rich woman was paying, of course he would suggest the most expensive things!
“Twenty million will be transferred to your card tonight!”
“Are those three still not here?”
After waiting for about half an hour, Mei Niang was clearly getting annoyed.
“I’m not sure either; they just said they’d be here soon.”
“They should be here any minute now.”
These people are truly unreliable; they’ve said “any minute now” several times, and they’re still not here!
Li Youqian suddenly remembered his old friends; whenever they made plans to go out, and he asked where they were, they’d always say “any minute now.”
But in reality, they hadn’t even left yet!
“Mei Niang, why don’t I take you to the hotel first?”
“My car only seats four, and if the three of them come, there won’t be enough room.”
The Maybach’s back seat only had two spots, and Li Youqian only just realized this.
“Huh?”
“Little brother, you only drove one car here?”
“Where are your driver and bodyguards?”
Mei Niang was clearly surprised; whenever she went out, if not a motorcade, she at least had three cars.
You can’t just make the bodyguards run behind, can you?
“Uh… I don’t have a driver or bodyguards.”
“I like to drive myself, and as for bodyguards…”
“To be honest, I don’t trust others much.”
Li Youqian still felt a bit ashamed by Mei Niang’s surprise.
Although he was rich, his mindset hadn’t changed; he still treated himself as an ordinary person.
Li Youqian had never actually considered essential rich-person amenities like bodyguards and drivers before!
So he just made up a casual excuse to brush her off.
“You’re quite down-to-earth, aren’t you?”
Mei Niang had always thought Li Youqian was a bit… strange.
Yes, that’s right, strange, and now she felt it even more so.
Logically, Li Youqian’s status should be even higher than hers, as anyone who could be on brotherly terms with Zhou Yushen was no Simple person.
But Li Youqian’s behavior didn’t resemble that of a wealthy young master or a successful person in the slightest.
Although she also gave gifts on Douyin, she didn’t stream while doing it!
She wasn’t short on those small tips, so why stream?
Wouldn’t it be better to just entertain herself alone?
If it weren’t for him having just bought a yacht, Mei Niang would have thought Li Youqian was a shill promoted by Douyin.
“Oh, let’s not talk about that; I’ll take you to the hotel first.”
“Thank you, little brother~”
Mei Niang suppressed her thoughts; why think so much?
After a day of travel, she was indeed a bit tired.
“Little Qian brother~ Do you want to come up and sit for a while~”
Mei Niang said seductively, holding Li Youqian’s hand before getting out of the car.
“No, no, they’ll be here soon, I need to pick them up.”
“Next time! Next time!”
A woman in her thirties is like a wolf, and in her forties like a tiger; although Mei Niang maintained herself well, her true age was already over thirty.
He’d better not look for trouble for himself.
After dropping Mei Niang off at the Peace Hotel, Li Youqian drove to the gas station.
This was the first time this car had been refueled since he got it!
“98, fill it up!”
Although the Maybach could also use 95 octane fuel, 98 was clearly better.
Don’t ask; if you ask, it’s because it’s expensive!
“Hello, sir, your total is 1354 yuan. Will you be paying with cash or card?”
Can’t I just use WeChat?
“I have a fuel card; can I use it here?”
Li Youqian pulled out the fuel card he received when he picked up the car; it still had 100,000 yuan in it.
“Yes, sir, this card is valid nationwide.”
To be honest, fueling up this Maybach is not just expensive!
How many days has it been? The fuel in the tank is already gone; in a month, the fuel cost alone will be around four to five thousand yuan.
If it were the old him, even if he won the lottery and bought one, he couldn’t afford to drive it!
“Because you’re too beautiful~ oh baby.”
“Because you’re truly too beautiful~ oh baby.”
As Li Youqian just drove out of the gas station, the car’s Bluetooth indicated an incoming call.
“Hello~ President Qian, I’ve landed. Where are you?”
Mei Niang had already arrived, so this was naturally Qing Jie.
“I just dropped Mei Niang off at the hotel, and now I’m heading to the airport.”
“I’ve booked two airport sightseeing cars. Qing Jie, you can wait for me in the car.”
“The license plate number is *****, and I’ll be there in a bit.”
Can’t these people just come together!
If those two old men are late, I won’t pick them up! Let them figure it out themselves!
They’re all group CEOs; Li Youqian didn’t believe they didn’t have branch companies in Shanghai?
“Okay~ Then this big sister will wait for little brother here~”
Demon! This woman is definitely a demon too!
He absolutely had to remind Brother Zhou not to fall for this female demon!
“Rich little brother, you’re not bad looking either.”
“Why don’t you show your face?”
“Although you can’t compare to little Brother Zhou, you’re still very attractive to women!”
Li Youqian’s handsomeness was a masculine kind of handsomeness, the kind that had the greatest impact on the same sex.
Qing Jie still preferred Zhou Yushen’s gentlemanly handsomeness.
(You can refer to handsome men in ancient costumes.)
“I’m not saying you’re ugly, oh~”
“Although you can’t compare to little Brother Zhou in my heart, you’re still very handsome.”
“You could instantly turn those beauty streamers into dust.”
Qing Jie was afraid Li Youqian would misunderstand, so she quickly added a few sentences.
“Whatever, I don’t care about that little bit of money.”
“The small tips from streaming are barely enough to cover the electricity bill.”
Why did everyone want him to show his face? He wasn’t a full-time streamer.
Isn’t it better to be behind the scenes?
“Not necessarily, oh~”
“For example, big sister here, I tip tens of millions at a time.”
Alright, alright, I know you’re a rich woman, okay?
“Let’s wait for the two of them; I don’t want to make another trip.”
Although the airport isn’t very far from the city, a round trip still takes nearly an hour.
Never mind being tired, who’s going to reimburse the gas money!
“Why wait for them?”
“They both have businesses in Shanghai; someone will pick them up, don’t worry.”
Qing Jie said indifferently, clearly indicating that these people all knew each other.
Indeed, after all, the circle of rich people is so small, and they’re all in the same group, so it’s normal for them to know each other.
“Alright then, let’s go to the hotel first.”
Li Youqian nodded; he also thought Qing Jie made sense.
He just didn’t notice the ambiguity in his words.
“Go to the hotel?”
“Little brother, are you that eager?”
“Big sister isn’t that kind of casual person, oh~”
What on earth was this woman thinking!
Was that what he meant?!
“I’m not that kind of casual person either,” Li Youqian couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
“That’s good, otherwise, I’d have to consider it~”
“After all, big sister is just a weak woman, and now that I’ve come to your territory, if you want to do something, big sister has no way to resist~”
I think you’re the one who should change your name to Mei Niang!!
Weak woman? I don’t believe a word of it!
Not to mention ruthless, but certainly not someone to be trifled with.
After all, if you’re not ruthless, you can’t sit steady; being in a high position, one can’t help but be so.
“What are we drinking tonight?”
“Red wine or white wine?”
Li Youqian asked while driving. He definitely had to fulfill his duties as a host, but what kind of alcohol should he buy?
’82 Lafite? Feitian Maotai?
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the system’s hidden welfare—My Host, I’ll Pamper You!]
