Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier

Once Qi Sheng and Lai Manling were seated, the atmosphere grew noticeably colder.

Zhuang Xiaomeng’s male colleagues, in particular, looked very displeased.

The gifts they had given earlier were mostly things like brooches and sunglasses.

They were pricey designer items, but none of them broke the ten-thousand-yuan mark.

But then Qi Sheng arrived and gave her a Bvlgari pendant worth over four hundred thousand, utterly crushing them.

What frustrated them even more was yet to come.

"Boss, are we ready to serve the dishes?"

A waitress in a blue dress inside the private room respectfully asked Qi Sheng for his instructions.

Even though it was Zhuang Xiaomeng’s birthday party, Qi Sheng had somehow become the host.

"If no one else is coming, then let’s have the food. Have Zhou Yang cook personally."

Qi Sheng smiled and waved a hand. "And bring a few bottles of Maotai—make sure it’s a good vintage. For the ladies, two pitchers of fresh-squeezed juice."

"Yes, Boss."

The waitress in the blue dress respectfully left the room, leaving the group completely stunned.

"Mengmeng, is this handsome guy the owner of Zifei?"

A female colleague tugged on Zhuang Xiaomeng’s arm and asked curiously.

"That’s right. Besides Zifei, he also owns Spicy King over in Taikoo Li."

A hint of pride crept into Zhuang Xiaomeng’s voice as she made the introduction.

"Mengmeng, are you and he...?"

Her colleague gave her a suggestive look.

As someone with more experience, she knew this attitude all too well.

It was exactly how a girl acts when she’s showing off her boyfriend.

"Ah, we’re just good friends."

Zhuang Xiaomeng blushed deeply, flustered by her colleague’s question.

After all, Qi Sheng had arrived with Lai Manling.

How could she dare admit she had a crush on him?

Soon enough, Lai Manling’s gift arrived as well.

Two handsome young men in Black Swan uniforms...

...walked in carefully, carrying an enormous cake box.

The entire room was abuzz as everyone stared in amazement at the two-tiered black cake inside the box.

"Mengmeng, I remember that truffle chocolate is your favorite."

"So I ordered the ’Starlight Glory’ cake from Black Swan for you. I hope you like it."

Lai Manling was very close with Zhuang Xiaomeng and had clearly put a lot of thought into choosing the cake.

"Manling, thank you!"

Zhuang Xiaomeng was thrilled and overjoyed.

"Wow, Mengmeng, your friend is loaded! This cake costs 29,999."

A colleague next to her had curiously looked it up on the Black Swan official website.

At the very bottom, she found the price for this particular cake.

"29,999?"

Zhuang Xiaomeng was stunned, too. She had thought the cake would only cost a few thousand yuan.

"The price isn’t important, as long as Mengmeng likes it."

Lai Manling smiled and winked at Zhuang Xiaomeng.

"Besides, for a girl as beautiful as Mengmeng, attracting wealth isn’t exactly difficult."

"That’s true. If I had the money, I’d chase after Mengmeng too. She’s gorgeous, has a great figure, and she’s an intellectual. Could she be any more perfect?"

The female colleague next to her was also very curious.

Just what kind of man could win the heart of a peerless beauty like Zhuang Xiaomeng?

"I’m not as amazing as you make me sound. I’ll go ahead and make my wish now."

A little shy from her colleague’s praise, Zhuang Xiaomeng couldn’t resist sneaking a glance at Qi Sheng.

Just then, Qi Sheng happened to be looking at her, which startled her and made her hastily look away.

The lights dimmed. On top of the two-tiered cake...

...26 candles were arranged around the two black swans.

’My good mood soured a little as I looked at those 26 candles.’

’A woman’s prime only lasts for a few short years.’

’She thought about how her parents had started nagging her about marriage.’

Zhuang Xiaomeng couldn’t help but glance at Qi Sheng again before quickly closing her eyes to make her wish.

’Please let me be with him forever!’

’It was just as Lai Manling had said: rather than continue being picky while her youth slowly faded...’

’...it was better to choose the best man for her during her prime.’

’And Qi Sheng was the most eligible bachelor she could possibly meet within her social circles.’

’His handsome looks and great physique went without saying.’

’But his cooking skills, which rivaled those of a state-banquet chef, were what truly made it hard for Zhuang Xiaomeng’s heart not to flutter.’

’As a foodie, she naturally hoped her significant other would be a good cook.’

’Qi Sheng far exceeded all her requirements for a boyfriend.’

WHOOSH...

Zhuang Xiaomeng blew out the candles, and the lights in the room came back on.

Her eyes met Qi Sheng’s once again.

This time, Zhuang Xiaomeng didn’t look away. Instead, she bravely revealed her feelings with her gaze.

’What could he even say?’ Qi Sheng thought. ’I just want to finish this meal and go home.’

Zhou Yang was cooking personally, and with his Expert Level Sichuan culinary skills, he had everyone in the room clapping and singing his praises.

With a chef of this caliber, it was hard for the restaurant not to be a hit.

Moreover, Zifei’s ambiance and service were top-notch, so its business was booming.

Zhuang Xiaomeng had only been able to get a reservation by pulling strings through Lai Manling.

A few of the male colleagues drank themselves into a stupor.

They realized that their goddess was about to fall into another man’s arms.

Even if they ganged up on him, they were no match for Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng had effortlessly downed two bottles of Maotai, yet his eyes remained clear, without the slightest hint of intoxication.

As for these male doctors who didn’t even qualify as rivals,

Qi Sheng didn’t feel much animosity.

When you’re at a different level, you see things from a different perspective.

With his current status, getting jealous and competing with them over a woman would be laughable.

Besides, Zhuang Xiaomeng’s affection for him was already so high.

’Why would I need to get jealous? I can just sit back and wait for the beauty to come to me.’

Since it was a birthday celebration, Zhuang Xiaomeng and the other women also had some red wine.

Qi Sheng wasn’t stingy, having two bottles of Lafite opened.

Including the cost of the meal, he had spent thirty to forty thousand.
