A huge budget?
Xiao Yun shook her head helplessly upon listening to Yu Tian.
"President Yu, I know you're wealthy. However, I think it's important to invest in something with profitable returns. Otherwise, how is this different from wasting money?"
Yu Tian shrugged nonchalantly. Money was the least of his concerns right now.
In fact, he had no idea how much money he actually owned.
To a certain extent, all the wealth that belonged to his one hundred and eight older sisters was his too.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Money is meant for spending. What else should I do with them? We'll proceed with the project. Don't worry, I can afford it!"
Xiao Yun was speechless.
At the same time, soft neon lights were shining through the windows of Yuewan Villa. It was the evening sun.
Ye Yongxi still could not forget about the humiliating incident that she had experienced in Lai Feng Yi.
She clenched her jaw and glared at the thorny cactus on the table.
"That b*tch Chu Xin actually dared to humiliate me in front of all those people. Now, I'm the laughing stock of the rich women's circle. It's exasperating!"
A bulky young man placed a glass of red wine in front of her.
"Your Majesty, who made you so angry? Your loyal servant will tear that person into pieces!"
Enraged, Yongxi picked up the glass of wine and poured its content down her throat.
This man named Fa was her most trusted adviser. Despite looking effeminate, he was a vicious person who had taken many lives.
"Chu Xin had found herself a rascal named Yu Tian. They humiliated me in public."
The tone of her voice was indifferent.
"I'll reward you handsomely if you can avenge me!"
Fa frowned slightly and thought to himself, 'I can't offend people from the Chu family. What should I do now since I've already made such big claims? Ah, I can't offend the Chus, but I can punish the little loafer. He's probably being looked after by the Chus. However, I can make them abandon him!'
Fa grinned mischievously after coming to that conclusion.
"Tsk, Yu Tian? Your Majesty, there's no need to be angry. I'll avenge you!"
Fa flicked his hair to the back as an evil smile spread across his face.
Yongxi sent him a photo of Yu Tian.
She said through gritted teeth, "This is the little piece of sh*t. I've asked around and found out that he's staying in the Chu Villa. It's up to you how you want to punish him!"
Fa took a closer look at the picture. The young man was rather good-looking, but it was a shame that he was living off a woman. Fa decided that he would teach the young man a lesson.
Xinghe Technology.
Yu Tian was leaning against the back of his chair. He could doze off at any second.
All of a sudden, his cell phone rang. It startled him.
He picked up the phone and noticed that it was Chu Qing calling.
The young man rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "Can't a man get some rest?!"
Chu Qing's low voice could be heard coming from the other end of the phone.
"If you're not busy, come home right away. I have something to tell you!"
"What's the emergency? Can't you tell me through the phone?"
Yu Tian was reluctant because he wanted to take a nap.
Without giving any explanation, Chu Qing hung up!
As he got up to his feet, he said to himself, "Alright, you win. After all, you're Elder Sister Qing!"
Fifteen minutes later, Yu Tian arrived at the house. He was ready to meet Chu Qing.
The woman seemed rather upset. It was quite obvious that she had been crying.
Yu Tian was confused. Chu Qing had always been a domineering woman. What happened to her?
He asked in a gentle tone, "Elder Sister Qing? Did someone bully you? Tell me who it is and I'll break their leg!"
Chu Qing smiled. The arrogance was audible in her voice.
"That's nice to hear. If you really want to do something for me, then you should further strengthen yourself as quickly as possible. All the troubles will go away once you've become truly powerful!"
Yu Tian could tell that she was holding something back from him.
However, he did not want to force her to talk about it. She would explain it when the time was right.
He tried to cheer her up and said, "Should we go out for some fresh air? I know an awesome barbeque place. I'll bring you there!"
Chu Qing did not mind where they were going as long as they were together.
So, she went upstairs to get changed. The two of them headed out while laughing and joking around.
Simultaneously, a man wearing a hoodie was following them closely from behind.
When they arrived at the barbeque place, it was full of people. All the seats were taken.
They had to ask for an extra table to be set up outside near a corner.
Chu Qing looked around the place. She was evidently displeased.
"I've never been to a street stall like this one. I wonder if the food and place are clean. In the future, you're not allowed to come to establishments like this!"
Yu Tian chuckled.
"This is how normal people live! Waitress, I'd like to order 50 lamb kidney skewers! Make it extra spicy!"
The waitress with brown wavy hair was dressed in a tight, black miniskirt and heeled boots. She was throwing coquettish glances at the hooded man who had been following Yu Tian.
"It won't be a problem since it's an order from Elder Brother Fa. Today's customers are all my friends. I'll let them know in a minute. Just wait and see!"
The man in the hoodie chuckled as he slapped the waitress on her butt. Hearing her soft and delicate moan filled him with excitement.
Yu Tian and Chu Qing had just taken their first sip of the cold beer when the waitress approached them in an alluring manner.
"Hey there, can you please pay the bill first? It's quite busy today and I'm afraid I might forget later!"
Yu Tian did not think much about it and followed the waitress to the till.
However, she suddenly tripped and it looked as if she was about to fall.
The young man quickly reached out his hand to hold the waitress's waist, stopping her from falling face down.
Unexpectedly, the waitress began shouting hysterically and started hitting him.
"Let me go, you rascal! Help! He's molesting me. Help!"
The other customers quickly sprung to their feet. They "angrily" surrounded Yu Tian without uttering a word.
"How dare you act so crudely in broad daylight. Do you wish to die?!"
"How could you molest the poor waitress? Can you even call yourself a human being?"
"Take photos of him and share them on the internet. Let the public see his true colors!"
Upon hearing the commotion, Chu Qing hurried into the restaurant. After grasping the situation, she pushed her way through the crowd and glared coldly at the panic-stricken waitress.
"What nonsense are you people talking about? He's not this kind of person!"
Suddenly, a middle-aged bald man came out from one of the private rooms. He had a swollen and bruised face.
"There's no justice in this world. You monster, how could you molest the waitress? You even hit me when I tried to stop you. Guys, you have to seek justice for me!"
The crowd became even more furious. They rolled up their sleeves and started yelling at Yu Tian.
"I thought I heard someone fighting in the private room. As it turns out, this little rascal was picking fights with others!"
"You must kneel down and apologize to them. If not, we'll cripple you!"
"What are you staring at? Feeling wronged? You already have such a sexy b*tch with you. Yet, you still molested the waitress. I'm going to teach you a lesson, you animal!"
Chu Qing was about to reveal her identity but Yu Tian stopped her.
On the contrary, he appeared to be calm and unperturbed. He even gave her a knowing glance.
Upon seeing that, Chu Qing felt better.
Yu Tian quietly watched the scene play.
These people were clearly working together to set him up.
However, he did not recognize any of them.
Was it an order from someone else?
The young man wanted to see who was bold enough to challenge him.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"How much were you paid to do this? You're all professional, huh? Is this when you start to beat me up? All according to the script?"
The arrogance was audible in his tone.
It surprised the crowd. Some of them narrowed their eyes out of diffidence.
This young man appeared to be quite smart.
However, they had accepted the money. Thus, they must continue with the act. Otherwise, they would not be hired again in the future.
Out of nowhere, the waitress screamed, "I don't want to live anymore! My body is tainted by him! I'm going to kill myself!"
The bald man pretended to hold her back.
"Don't do that. You're still young. We'll seek justice for you!"
Upon seeing that, Chu Qing began shaking with rage. She wanted to lash out, but Yu Tian stopped her again.
He was completely indifferent.
"If you want to die so badly, then go ahead. I bet none of you are brave enough."
"Get out of the way.. It's my time to shine!"
