nusual. When I went to the flower shop this morning, I thought it might be a prank," Sun Xinxin spoke frankly, "but since there are orders and customers have already paid, I have to deliver the flower...Chapter 1045: Not Even a Rice Bowl Suffices

"You can eat whatever you want, and there's no limit to the amount," Ning Jie replied softly, but she was grumbling inwardly. She thought that this restaurant would definitely incur losses today because Xia Tian had an enormous appetite; if he liked their food, he could easily eat up his bill.

Lu Hui and Su Qin, however, were puzzled by the man who called himself Song Si. Did he not know what a buffet was

On the way to the restaurant, they had introduced themselves to each other, but they hadn't chatted much.

The four of them entered the restaurant, where the waiters greeted them with smiles and great enthusiasm. Ning Jie, however, thought to herself that these people wouldn’t be smiling for long.

Ning Jie’s prediction was accurate. Fifteen minutes later, the waiters stopped smiling, and nearly ten of them were watching Xia Tian. The restaurant manager instructed each waiter to memorize Xia Tian’s appearance so they could add him to their blacklist in case he returned. Otherwise, the restaurant would suffer losses.

After half an hour, the manager felt like kicking Xia Tian out. But ultimately, as a well-known all-you-can-eat restaurant, no matter how much food a customer ate, the manager couldn’t kick them out. If they did, even if today's loss was lessened, their reputation would be damaged.

An hour later, the manager felt like he could vomit blood. Because it was expensive, there weren't many customers, and usually, there were more in the evening than during lunchtime, so only enough food for around 100 people had been prepared. But now, at least half of that amount had already vanished!

"How could there be such a glutton in this world No, it’s not even a glutton—it's not even a rice bowl. In fact, even a rice bowl doesn’t do him justice! Damn it, I’m out of words!" The manager cursed inwardly.

Lu Hui and Su Qin were completely dumbfounded at this point; the guy could really eat!

Ning Jie, however, maintained a calm demeanor because she had roughly anticipated such a situation.

"Mm, I'm full. Shall we go" Xia Tian finally belched contentedly; the food here was truly delicious.

Seeing Xia Tian stand up and get ready to leave, both the restaurant manager and the waiter heaved simultaneous sighs of relief; this glutton was finally leaving.

"Have a safe journey, sir. We look forward to your next visit," smiled the pretty hostess warmly as Xia Tian exited the restaurant, saying what she usually did.

Xia Tian suddenly stared at the hostess: "Hey, do you really welcome me back"

The hostess froze momentarily and glanced nervously towards the manager who seemed to want to kill her. She was even more reluctant to speak; if she nodded again and said she welcomed him, he might fire her, or worse.

"I knew you didn't really welcome me. You're all liars," Xia Tian pouted, then pulled Ning Jie forward while leaving a parting shot: "Whether you like it or not, I'll come when I want to."

Poor manager who had just relaxed hearing this almost fell flat on the ground in shock; although he wanted to blacklist the guy, if Xia Tian really came back again, would he be able to stop him from entering It wasn’t reasonable for a restaurant to deny customers food.

"Honey, I want to buy a computer. How about we go to the electronic city first and then head home" Ning Jie said softly.

"Alright." Xia Tian didn't have any objections.

"Miss Ning, since you still have things to do, we won’t disturb you," Su Qin spoke up. She was quite considerate and pulled Lu Hui as if she were going to leave.

Just then, a sarcastic voice entered everyone's ears: "Eh Isn't that Lu Hui So, have you finally taken my advice and brought your girlfriend here for a fancy meal"

The speaker was a man in his thirties wearing glasses. Before Lu Hui could say anything, the man turned to look at the woman beside him: "Xiao Meng, let me introduce you. This is our colleague, Lu Hui, whom we all have rated as the most frugal man."

The woman called Xiao Meng was younger, around twenty-two or twenty-three years old, with a decent figure and sexy attire that accentuated her curves perfectly. She seemed to be a woman who knew how to dress well.

Hearing what the glasses-wearing man said, Xiao Meng couldn't help but glance at Lu Hui with an odd expression on her face. While thriftiness could indeed be considered virtuous in theory, nowadays being called the most frugal man wasn’t praise but mockery.

In most women’s eyes, thrifty men fell into two categories: those who lacked money and those who were stingy. For many women, neither type was desirable because a poor husband couldn't provide them with a good life, while a miserly one wouldn't be willing to give them such a life either. The result would be the same — they wouldn’t have a good life regardless of which kind of man they married.

"Wang Gang, thank you for introducing me to this place. The food here is indeed quite delicious," Lu Hui said calmly at that moment. Wang Gang had introduced him to this place, but Lu Hui knew very well that Wang Gang's intention wasn't really to let him know the food was good; rather, it was about showing off his habit of frequently coming here for a buffet costing five hundred yuan per person.

In fact, Lu Hui and Wang Gang originally had no conflicts; they were both in the finance department of Wing Harbor Communications Company with identical positions. However, before Lu Hui arrived, Wang Gang's performance evaluation was always the best, but after Lu Hui came, Wang Gang's evaluations started to decline while Lu Hui continued to maintain top scores. As a result, Wang Gang could not bear to see Lu Hui.

Seeing that Lu Hui wasn’t angry, Wang Gang felt somewhat disappointed. At this moment, he turned around and saw Xia Tian and Ning Jie, immediately feeling enlightened: "Lu Hui, so you are having dinner with friends!"

Wang Gang clearly wanted to get acquainted with Ning Jie, but unfortunately, she had no intention of doing so. She was already walking to the roadside with Xia Tian to hail a taxi; however, it was noon and taxis were in high demand, making it difficult for them to find an available one.

"Wang Gang, my girlfriend and I are going shopping," Lu Hui quickly said, pulling Su Qin away without any intention of talking more with Wang Gang.

Wang Gang was momentarily irritated, feeling slighted. This made him very uncomfortable and he felt humiliated in front of Xiao Meng. Already displeased with Lu Hui to begin with, his dissatisfaction towards Lu Hui now deepened further. As a result, an evil idea immediately formed in his mind.

"Bastard, let you show off; prepare to lose your job!" Wang Gang thought inwardly as he took out his phone and snapped a photo of Xia Tian and Ning Jie still waiting by the roadside.

"What are you doing" A cold voice suddenly echoed in Wang Gang's ear, and he saw that the beautiful woman he had just seen was now standing right before him with icy eyes staring at him.

This beauty naturally was Ning Jie; Wang Gang’s action of taking a photo evidently caught her attention.

"I didn’t do anything!" Wang Gang put on an innocent expression, saying, "I’m just taking pictures of the scenery over there."

"Delete the photo!" Ning Jie's tone left no room for refusal.

"Miss Ning, what happened" Su Qin asked as she opened her mouth. She and Lu Hui hadn't walked far away and rushed back over upon seeing a conflict taking place here.

Summer approached at this moment: "Wife, what's going on"

"He was taking photos of us with his phone." Ning Jie looked at Wang Gang.

"Oh, that’s easy!" After Summer said this, she suddenly stretched out her hand and snatched the mobile phone from Wang Gang. Then she heavily threw it on the ground, shattering the phone into several pieces instantly.

"You! How dare you break my phone" Wang Gang was immediately enraged.

"If I want to smash whose phone, I can." Summer glared at Wang Gang: "Just like if I want to beat up whom, I will. Now, I want to beat up this fool!"

Her words had not yet ended when Summer kicked out with her foot and struck Wang Gang; he let out a miserable cry as he flew backward.

"You! Why are you hitting people" The little girl was taken aback.

"Shut up, or I'll beat you too!" Xia Tian glared at Xiao Meng.

Xiao Meng was startled and immediately stopped talking.

"Wife, that taxi is empty." At this moment, Xia Tian spotted a taxi and promptly pulled Ning Jie towards it.

Seeing Xia Tian and Ning Jie getting into the car, Lu Hui and Su Qin also quickly left, still puzzled as to why Wang Gang had taken such great pains to secretly photograph Wang Hao. Was he trying to take pictures of Ning Jie, this beautiful lady Yet, considering that Wang Gang was with a woman and still went out of his way to snap photos of other beauties seemed rather idiotic.

After they left, Wang Gang got up from the ground and picked up his smashed phone. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Damn it, daring to hit me! Do you think that by smashing my phone I can't retrieve your pictures"

As for what he intended to do with those photos, only Wang Gang himself knew.

Xia Tian and Ning Jie did not pay much attention to this incident. First, they went to the computer city where they spent over 20 thousand yuan on a laptop. Originally, Ning Jie wanted to buy Xia Tian one too, but he declined saying that he was afraid of encountering little fairies online, which might reveal his location if encountered, so he felt it safer not to have a computer.

After purchasing the laptop, Xia Tian and Ning Jie took a taxi home. Unfortunately, this time they were stuck in traffic.

While Xia Tian and Ning Jie were stuck in traffic, there was a girl near Xiangxue Lake villa area holding a photo and asking around: "Hello, have you seen this person"ost was not this explosion but rather the Sun family, once one of Beijing's four major clans, being arrested down to the last person overnight. Recalling how the Li family collapsed not long ago and n...
