This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Feng Yu Is Too Eager to Improve

He did some quick calculations. Even without counting the 911, the cash in his bank accounts and his stock market holdings already exceeded ten million.

’If my luck stays this bad, achieving financial freedom won’t just be a dream.’

Chen Mo had gotten a taste for it. He was starting to love the feeling of being unlucky.

’Who said being unlucky was a bad thing? This is fantastic!’

"Mr. Chen, Ms. Feng, the dishes you ordered earlier have gotten cold. I’ll have the head chef prepare a new spread for you."

Realizing that Chen Mo and Feng Yu still hadn’t eaten, the owner immediately sent someone to inform the head chef.

He then pulled two exquisitely designed black cards from his bag and handed them to Chen Mo and Feng Yu.

"This is our restaurant’s Black Diamond VIP Card. From now on, Mr. Chen and Ms. Feng, you can dine here anytime without a reservation. A table will always be available for you."

"Any bill under 10,000 yuan is completely on the house. For bills over 10,000, you’ll receive a 20% discount on the amount exceeding it. All beverages will be at cost, and all service fees are waived."

The owner explained the perks of the Black Diamond VIP Card to Chen Mo and Feng Yu.

He had only ever issued a handful of these Black Diamond VIP Cards, each one to a truly distinguished guest.

It was a custom VIP card he reserved as a gift for very important people.

As for the "free for bills under 10,000" perk, it just sounded nice.

How often would the kind of person he’d give this card to actually visit in a year?

Besides, while a 10,000 yuan bill at his restaurant might seem high, it didn’t actually cover that many dishes.

The ingredient costs weren’t that high either, so it wasn’t a huge expense for him.

Looking at it another way, Chen Mo had done him a huge favor by exposing the counterfeit wine in his restaurant.

That’s why he decided to give both of them a Black Diamond VIP Card.

Initially, he had only intended to give one to Chen Mo.

But he worried that treating them differently in front of Feng Yu would upset her.

Even though he suspected Feng Yu wouldn’t accept it, the refusal had to come from her.

He had to make the offer.

Just as he expected.

"I appreciate the sentiment, but I can’t accept this card."

After hearing about the card’s perks, Feng Yu immediately shook her head and placed it back on the table.

"My apologies, I was being inconsiderate. This is our standard VIP card. It gives you a 5% discount and allows you to dine without a reservation."

Boss Yang had come prepared. He took out a standard VIP card and offered it to Feng Yu.

"I really can’t..."

Feng Yu waved her hand dismissively, a hint of exasperation in her eyes.

"How about this: next time she wants to eat here, she can just use my card."

Chen Mo knew Feng Yu was bound by regulations and didn’t want to put her in a difficult position, so he quickly jumped in, smiling at Boss Yang.

’Using his card was the same as him treating her, and there was nothing wrong with a friend buying another friend dinner.’

"That works, too. My apologies, Ms. Feng."

Boss Yang didn’t press the issue.

Chen Mo examined the exquisite Black Diamond VIP Card in his hand, intrigued. A curious thought suddenly struck him.

"Boss Yang, has anyone ever used this card to come eat here every single day?"

he asked with a curious little smile.

"Not yet."

Hearing this, Boss Yang’s expression stiffened. He eyed Chen Mo suspiciously and shook his head.

’Surely Chen Mo isn’t planning to come here every day, is he?’

’Even if it’s just one meal a day, with each one comped at 10,000 yuan...’

’that would cost me 3.65 million a year.’

’Even just accounting for the cost of ingredients, that’s no small sum.’

"Then I doubt there will be in the future, either."

Chen Mo noticed Boss Yang’s expression and couldn’t help but shake his head with a laugh.

’The man gave him this card as a friendly gesture.’

’He wasn’t so clueless as to abuse it by coming for a free meal every day.’

’Besides, this was a Western restaurant specializing in seafood and offal.’

’If he ate here every day, he’d be worried about high uric acid and cholesterol.’

At these words, Boss Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Back at their original table, a fresh spread of dishes had been laid out.

It was far more lavish than what they had originally ordered.

The wine had also been upgraded to something much finer.

Boss Yang himself played the part of their waiter, first pouring them both a glass of wine.

He then got a stemmed glass for himself and poured a small amount.

"Mr. Chen, Ms. Feng, a toast to you both."

Boss Yang formally raised his glass to Chen Mo and Feng Yu.

"You’re too kind."

Chen Mo smiled and raised his glass, clinking it against the owner’s.

Feng Yu simply nodded and raised her glass in acknowledgment.

The three of them took a small sip.

This scene attracted the attention of some of the other patrons seated near their table.

Some, who were regulars at the restaurant, recognized Boss Yang.

And they had rarely ever seen him personally toast a guest.

Yet now, here he was, toasting a young man and woman!

Everyone looked at Chen Mo curiously, but no one recognized him.

They all began to speculate about Chen Mo’s identity.

But whatever they guessed, they were all certain of one thing: this Chen Mo was no ordinary person.

’Someone who gets a personal toast from Boss Yang, and with such a beautiful woman at his side...’

’He was either incredibly powerful himself, or he came from a very influential family!’

"I won’t disturb your meal any further. I have a few things to take care of, so I’ll take my leave."

After the toast, Boss Yang excused himself and left.

He wasn’t just making an excuse; he really did have things to handle.

At the very least, all that counterfeit wine in the restaurant had to be dealt with immediately.

After Boss Yang left, Chen Mo and Feng Yu continued their meal.

You had to hand it to them, the food at a three-star Michelin restaurant was undeniably superb.

Especially with the more extravagant dishes Boss Yang had sent over, both the ingredients and the culinary skill were top-notch.

DING~

Just then, Feng Yu’s phone, which was sitting on the table, chimed and the screen lit up.

Chen Mo glanced over casually, but when he saw Feng Yu’s phone wallpaper, he almost lost it.

"That wallpaper of yours is... something else."

Chen Mo put down his chopsticks and gave Feng Yu a strange look.

"What can I say? I’m just eager to get ahead."

Feng Yu gave a wry smile and shrugged.

She picked up her phone and unlocked it, revealing the wallpaper: that classic photo of Qi Ting in his uniform, sitting at his desk.

Now he understood why Feng Yu had been so eager to ask the owner about reporting the crime.

’So it was all because she was desperate to get ahead.’

"I’ve got a dog named Big Yellow back home. Once you get promoted, do you think you can pull some strings and get him a job in the Modu K-9 unit?"

Chen Mo wiped his mouth and joked with her.

"Consider it done."

Feng Yu immediately got the meme Chen Mo was referencing and played along with a smile.

At her response, Chen Mo laughed too.

He clinked his glass with hers and went back to eating.

He felt he had a better understanding of Feng Yu now, though.

She was serious and diligent at work, but in private, she was a total meme lord.

She had already shown a glimpse of this surreal talent back when she saw the commemorative banners on Chen Mo’s wall and described one as "business-style" and the other as "sporty."

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chen Mo and Feng Yu left the restaurant together.

They both used an app on their phones to call for a designated driver.

After Feng Yu’s driver left, the one he had called arrived.

"Sir, this car is too expensive. I’m afraid I’ll mess something up. How about I cancel the order?"

The young designated driver was stunned when he saw the red 911.

’He’d never driven such an expensive car before; he didn’t trust himself with it!’

"It’s alright. Just drive slowly."

Chen Mo smiled and shook his head.

And so, the driver did indeed get him back to his apartment’s underground garage safely, never once exceeding 30 km/h.

After returning home, Chen Mo first carefully put away the bottle of 1988 Romanée-Conti that Boss Yang had given him, a vintage worth 158,000 yuan.

His first thought was that he’d have preferred the cash equivalent, but then he reconsidered. He was a man of considerable means now.

It would be a bit lacking in class not to have a few good bottles of wine in his collection at home.

After a shower, he sat down in his gaming room.

He used the iQOO phone from before to download the Xiaohongshu app.

He first registered an account. When it came time to select his gender...

he chose, without a moment’s hesitation—

Female.

When it came to choosing a username, he thought for a moment, then an idea came to him and he began to type...

Hates_Cilantro (InLove ver.)

’There. The gender and username were now a perfect match.’

The plan to mess with Xia Shiqing could officially begin!
