I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 308 I have a room key... right?

"let's go."

"Uh-huh."

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran didn't linger. After causing this incident, they got up and left.

At this moment, Tong Yining and Zhou Hongyu were still completely dazed and hadn't even noticed them leaving.

"You...know the owner of this place?"

Tong Yining lowered her voice and asked Zhou Hongyu,

Didn't the manager just say that it was sent by the boss?

If you don't know them, why would someone give them to you for no reason?

"I...should...know him, right..."

Zhou Hongyu felt his mouth was dry, his mind racing, trying to figure out who this boss was and whether he even knew him...

But in my memory, I don't know anyone that amazing...

Could it be that someone I know is hiding their identity?

He initially wanted to deny it, but... why not take advantage of this opportunity offered to him?

His surname is Zhou, so it's not wrong for him to call himself Mr. Zhou; he hasn't impersonated anyone...

"Eh?"

Just then, Zhou Hongyu suddenly realized that he wasn't the only Mr. Zhou present...

Wasn't Tong Yining's male classmate also surnamed Zhou?

Zhou Hongyu turned his head to look at Zhou Heng and the others, only to find that their seats were empty; Zhou Heng and the others had left sometime earlier...

If that's the case, then it probably isn't him, right?

After all, if it really was him, he should have told the manager immediately when the wrong package was delivered.

How could they possibly leave so quietly...?

So, this thing really was a gift for me? And I actually know the owner of this place?

Without realizing it, Zhou Hongyu straightened his back a little and gained a bit more confidence.

"Please tell my boss that I received his gift and thank him for me."

Zhou Hongyu turned to look at Manager Liu beside him and said calmly, his tone and demeanor completely different from before...

"Okay, then call me if you need anything. I won't bother you any longer..."

Manager Liu nodded, smiled, and left, still feeling pleased with himself for having perfectly completed the task...

I reckon my bonus will increase again this time!

Zhou Hongyu picked up his chopsticks, looking at the dish in front of him that resembled a bonsai, and for a moment he didn't know where to begin...

"Uh...eat it."

"No, I...I'm full, you eat."

Tong Yining waved her hand, refusing him. She wouldn't even dare touch that stuff, let alone eat it.

Moreover, she felt something was fishy about this; it was too strange. What if they were planning to smash their food? They could just come back after they finished eating and ask them for money...

Who knows how much this huge bonsai tree costs? She's not going to eat it...

Zhou Hongyu clearly hadn't considered this. He picked up some food and started eating. The seafood sashimi and other ingredients on top were incredibly fresh, and the taste was completely different...

The pufferfish and other seafood were all cleaned very thoroughly, and the crabs and shrimp were all peeled whole and ready to eat.

Zhou Hongyu didn't stand on ceremony and ate quite a bit, since it was free anyway...

"Why did your two classmates just leave like that? I was planning to invite them to eat together."

While eating, Zhou Hongyu asked Tong Yining questions.

Tong Yining paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Them? They wouldn't eat it. They'd probably pretend not to know me if they saw me..."

"Huh? Why? Don't you two get along?"

"Don't ask that, it's none of your business..."

After Manager Liu walked out the door, he was about to excitedly report the matter when a waiter immediately ran over to him.

"Manager Liu... just now... General Manager Bai called..."

"Really? What did you say, Mr. Bai?"

Manager Liu frowned slightly, looked at the waiter, and asked in confusion.

"Mr. Bai said that Mr. Zhou and his girlfriend have a card given to them by Young Master Bai. That card can waive all spending limits. He hopes you can confirm that the card is still in their possession and then waive their spending..."

"Oh, I know that card. Mr. Bai mentioned it before. I understand. I'll go check it out."

Manager Liu nodded, then walked back.

They walked straight toward Zhou Hongyu and Tong Yining.

Tong Yining watched Manager Liu approach step by step, and for some reason, she felt incredibly uneasy... She knew something bad was about to happen...

So she picked up her phone, lowered her head, and pretended not to know anything...

Manager Liu walked up to Zhou Hongyu, bowed slightly, and asked with a smile:

"Hello? Mr. Zhou, it's like this, did you bring your card? Please let me see it so I can report to my superiors..."

Manager Liu pointed upwards, his meaning was clear: above him was the boss.

"What...card?"

Zhou Hongyu, with a piece of pufferfish still in his mouth, blinked and looked at Manager Liu with a blank expression.

Manager Liu was also stunned for a moment, but he still patiently explained:

"Um... I mean, the card the boss gave you, didn't you bring it with you?"

"The card they gave me...I have a room key here...right?"

Zhou Hongyu took out his room key from his pocket, handed it to Manager Liu, and stammered,

At this point, he realized something was wrong, and his hands even started to tremble...

Manager Liu tilted his head, realizing that something seemed amiss...

His lips twitched, forcing a smile to suppress his emotions, and he whispered:

"You...are you joking? I'm talking about the black gold card you gave your girlfriend as a birthday present."

"Birthday?"

Zhou Hongyu looked at Tong Yining across from him, feeling a little puzzled. Could it be that the boss actually knew Tong Yining?

But when is her birthday? How come I didn't know...?

At this point, Tong Yining had realized that the whole thing was a misunderstanding... and she also suspected that the people the other person was referring to were Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran...

Zhou Heng is also Mr. Zhou, and Yin Mengran just celebrated her birthday a little over three months ago...

Tong Yining didn't say a word, keeping her head down, her heart pounding, she was terrified.

Zhou Hongyu slowly turned his head, staring blankly at Manager Liu. Then, his expression changed as if he was about to cry...

"Do you...know Young Master Bai? His name is Bai Cang."

Manager Liu's expression had darkened, and his tone had become less polite, cold and imposing...

Zhou Hongyu trembled with fright, his throat moved, and he stammered out:

“I don’t know…”
