Listening to Chen Yao's words, Hao Ren knew that the other party didn't want to spend money, so he didn't say anything more, but his heart moved and he immediately asked the system.
"System, can you fortify the red wine?"
The profit of red wine is so huge. If it can be strengthened, he can sell it ten times or twenty times for hundreds of thousands a bottle. This is no better than selling some bread here and there.
This time, the system seemed to be silent for a moment, and then said, "Host, put away your unrealistic ideas. This system can indeed strengthen any item, but it is only at the first level. The strengthening energy is limited. The higher the value of the item, the stronger it will be."
The more energy is required, the red wine mentioned by the host is currently not within the enhancement range of this system."
"If the host wants to strengthen the red wine, then quickly upgrade the level. If the host can upgrade to level nine, not to mention the red wine, nuclear bombs can be strengthened!"
After hearing the system's explanation, Hao Ren sighed helplessly in his heart. Sure enough, he had thought too much, and his shop was not worthy of selling high-end products like fortified red wine.
In fact, he wasn't that disappointed. If the system could enhance various items now, why would he have to sell whatever bread he wanted? What he sold was expensive and valuable. Within ten years, he would be the richest man in the world.
The three of them were talking, and soon the food they ordered was served. It was the first time for Hao Ren to eat steak. He clumsily cut the steak with a knife and fork, making Chen Yao and Lu Sisi snicker.
Chen Yao cut the steak and wanted to change it with Hao Ren, but Hao Ren disagreed.
"No, I don't know how to eat Western-style food, but I can use chopsticks."
Hao Ren spoke unconvinced, called the waiters over, and asked them if they had chopsticks.
"Chopsticks?" The waiter was so surprised that he even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. This was a Western restaurant, and the customer actually asked him for chopsticks.
"Sir, I'm sorry, this is a Western restaurant and we don't have chopsticks."
Although he was extremely surprised and confused, he still resisted the urge to swear and spoke politely after receiving special training.
Chen Yao and Lu Sisi opposite were also startled by Hao Ren. When they heard Hao Ren asking for chopsticks, their faces turned red and they felt extremely embarrassed.
“What a shabby restaurant, they don’t even have chopsticks!”
Hao Ren spoke dissatisfiedly, and the next moment, he stabbed the steak with his fork and started chewing it like a pig's trotters.
This operation made the waiter on the side widen his eyes, and the two women opposite Chen Yao almost lowered their heads under the table.
The corner of the waiter's mouth twitched. He really didn't want to watch anymore and left like a ghost. He was afraid that he would laugh out loud if he stayed any longer.
When the waiter left, Chen Yao and Chen Yao raised their heads, looked at Hao Ren chewing peonies, looked at each other, and each of them stretched out a kick and kicked Hao Ren hard on the leg.
"Hao Ren, you are shameless, we still want you, please be careful, okay?"
Chen Yao roared angrily.
Hao Ren was interrupted by the two men. He put down the steak with some embarrassment and said angrily, "I didn't mean it. Who asked me to use a knife and fork for this steak?"
"Brother, this is a Western restaurant." Chen Yao was speechless.
Even so, Chen Yao still taught Hao Ren how to use a knife and fork, while Lu Sisi on the side would interrupt and laugh from time to time, which was quite interesting.
"Chen Yao, you are here too."
While Hao Ren was studying, a surprised voice suddenly came from beside him. Hao Ren and Chen Yao turned their heads at the same time and found a young man in casual clothes standing in front of them, wearing a gold Rolex on his hand and a look on his face.
Looking at Chen Yao in surprise.
"Having a meal with friends." Chen Yao looked at the other party, frowning slightly, but still showed a smile, stood up and said.
"Who is this? Chen Yao, I rarely see you having dinner with boys. I wonder if you can introduce to me which young man is this outstanding man who has the honor to treat you to dinner."
The other party looked at Hao Ren and asked curiously, but when he saw the horrifically bitten steak in front of Hao Ren, a smile appeared on his lips.
"By the way, let me introduce myself first. My name is Lu Chuan. I mean Lu from land, and Chuan from mountains and rivers. My family runs a factory."
Seeing the smile on the other person's face, the appearance and tone of an upper-class young man, Hao Ren didn't know how to introduce himself.
"This is my friend Hao Ren. He is opening a small shop. Unlike Mr. Lu, whose family is well-off, Mr. Lu is doing this for a treat or for business?"
Chen Yao did not introduce Hao Ren more and changed the subject.
"It turns out it's Boss Hao who can become friends with Chen Yao. It seems like it's not as simple as opening a small shop. Haha, it's okay. Let's have a meal with friends. By the way, why don't you order a bottle of red wine? This restaurant recently came from France.
I bought some pretty good quality red wine, I remember Chen Yao, don’t you like drinking it?”
Lu Chuan nodded and spoke with a smile. As if he thought of something, Lu Chuan smiled and said,
"I am a member of this restaurant. You can order whatever you want and charge it to my account. Just treat it as if I treated Chen Yao and your friends to a drink. I treated you to dinner before and you kept saying that you were not free. Please give me one this time.
Give me a chance to show off."
Lu Chuan's words were extremely enthusiastic, and all his attention was on Chen Yao. As for Hao Ren, except for a few polite words at the beginning, the other party didn't even look at him twice.
However, this greatly impacted Hao Ren's self-esteem. This was because he was treating guests to dinner. Why did Lu Chuan seem to be the master here?
It’s just red wine, I really thought I couldn’t afford it!
Hao Ren was angry in his heart, and he could clearly sense Lu Chuan's sincere disdain and targeting of him. Although the other party didn't say it clearly, such behavior was a slap in his face!
"My taste has changed recently and I am allergic to red wine. Master Lu appreciates your kindness. I will treat Mr. Lu to dinner next time I have a chance."
Chen Yao glanced at Hao Ren's somewhat discolored face and frowned even more. She secretly winked at Hao Ren to calm him down and spoke to Lu Chuan. Lu Sisi on the side looked at all this with some restraint.
Looking at Hao Ren and then at Lu Chuan, he didn't dare to take a breath.
When Lu Chuan heard Chen Yao's words, he shook his head and smiled, "Chen Yao, you are still so polite. Forget it, I, an outsider, won't disturb your dinner. We will meet again when we have time."
After saying that, Lu Chuan left, but before leaving, he glanced at Hao Ren and said with a chuckle, "Boss Hao's way of eating steak is so unique. If we have time another day, we can discuss it."
"
When the other party left, Hao Ren's face turned cold. If Chen Yao hadn't winked at him before, with his temper, he would have exploded.
Even a pig could feel the trace of ridicule and provocation in the other party's words. When the other party left, Chen Yao glanced at Hao Ren with some worry and asked, "Hao Ren, are you okay?"
Hao Ren came back to his senses, looked at the worried faces of Chen Yao and Lu Sisi, took a deep breath, and suddenly chuckled, "It's okay, what's the matter with me? I just can't eat steak.
What the hell, can’t you eat steak without a knife and fork?”
With that said, Hao Ren directly stretched out his hand, took the steak and started chewing it again. This time, Chen Yao and Lu Sisi said nothing.
"Lu Chuan is a second-generation rich man. His family owns a factory, specializing in the production of potato chips. The market value is 70 to 80 million. Don't take what he just said to heart."
Chen Yao spoke softly, pointing out Lu Chuan's background. A company with a market value of 70 to 80 million might not be a big deal in the country, but in Liuzhou, it is still a big company.
At least in the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely a wealthy class.
Chen Yao's words also reminded Hao Ren that they were on two different levels and there was no need to care about what the other person said.
"It's funny, people come here to eat steak like this. The standard of this restaurant is so low. Anyone can come in."
Diagonally opposite, a man and a woman sat facing each other, and the woman spoke in a low voice with disdain.
"Haha, I guess he is another country bumpkin who has never seen the world. He wants to imitate the rich second generation and pick up girls. He doesn't care how much he weighs. He doesn't even know how to eat steak, so he comes to a Western restaurant."
The men also spoke in a low voice. Their voices were very low, but in this quiet third floor, the sound was clearly heard in their ears.
These words were more like sharp swords, striking Hao Ren's fragile self-esteem cleanly, but he couldn't refute it.
The meal became extremely boring after Lu Chuan's arrival. Chen Yao and Lu Sisi didn't even say anything more and finished hastily. It was already seven o'clock in the evening.
Hao Ren called the waiter. After Hao Ren paid the bill, a total of 5,700 yuan, he walked out of the store with the voice of the little girl at the front desk saying "Welcome next time."
As the cold night wind blew, Hao Ren felt that the temperature on his body had finally dropped a little. Looking at the busy traffic in front of him, Hao Ren squeezed out a smile on his face, "Did you drive here?"
Chen Yao nodded, and Hao Ren continued, "In this case, you should be careful on the road and let us know when you get home."
After Chen Yao and Chen Yao left, Hao Ren took a taxi and returned to his rental house.
In Chen Yao's car, Lu Sisi looked at Chen Yao worriedly, "Sister Yao, is Hao Ren really okay? I think his mood seems to be very unstable."
"I didn't expect Lu Chuan to be there. This guy has been pursuing me before, but I don't like him and I don't pay much attention to him. This time, we are really enemies on a narrow road. This guy Hao Ren was hit hard. Fortunately, Hao Ren endured it.
If he, a shop owner, offends a local snake like Lu Chuan, he will not be able to survive in Liuzhou City."
Chen Yao sighed and spoke a little irritably.
"Sister Yao, isn't it? This is a rich man who will inherit tens of millions of assets in the future. If you are not satisfied, then this is too much!"
Lu Sisi had an exaggerated expression on her face.
"What do you know? How can people like them really care about people like us? In their eyes, we are just tools for fun."
Chen Yao said calmly, "So, Sisi, when you graduate, you'd better not choose such a rich second generation, at least don't jump into this pit of fire until you don't have the matching strength."
"I won't join any wealthy family. I just want to be a free foodie." Lu Sisi said playfully.
"But this also taught Hao Ren a lesson. He swelled up after earning a little, and made a swollen face to pretend to be fat. Now he should know that there is a sky outside the world, and there are people outside the world."
Chen Yao continued.
"I'm afraid he's overstimulated and won't be able to think straight." Lu Sisi said helplessly.
"Don't worry, although this guy has a strong self-esteem, this setback will not break him down."
Chen Yao shook her head, but she had confidence in Hao Ren.
At this time, Hao Ren was extremely calm all the way. When he got home, he took a hot bath and went to bed.
At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Hao Ren arrived at the store on time and started business.
