Chapter Seventy-Three: Planned Bankruptcy

  Mo Shaokun finally agreed to accompany Wei Qianqian for her birthday, after all, who can be completely heartless? Although he didn't like Wei Qianqian, it didn't mean he could bring himself to reject her. Besides, this wasn't a big deal, and Wei Qianqian had been treating him well lately, so he might as well consider it a small compensation.

  "Where shall we go?" Mo Shaokun asked after leaving school.

  Wei Qianqian looked very happy, winked at him and said: "You'll know when you get there." She then hailed a taxi.

  More than ten minutes later, the two arrived at Baihai Road. Mo Shaokun was somewhat helpless. In those years, only Baihai Road in Nanxing District was the most prosperous area. However, since 1997, Nanxing District ushered in development opportunities, and after 2000, Baihai Road gradually declined.

  Wei Qianqian brought Mo Shaokun to a Western restaurant, where she had already booked a table. Under the guidance of the waiter, the two sat down in a quiet corner by the window.

  Xi Can Ting, Mo Shao Kun had been there many times before, but in this era, it was his first time. He couldn't help but look around, although compared to the high-end places of later generations, it was far inferior, but now it seemed like a pretty good place.

  "Shao Kun, take a look first and see if there's anything you'd like to eat." Wei Qianqian considerately handed the menu to Mo Shao Kun for him to order first.

  If it were someone else who was looking around like Mo Shaokun, Wei Qianqian would definitely despise him and call him a country bumpkin. However, she was very clear that Mo Shaokun had a big background, so she didn't mind his somewhat embarrassing behavior.

  Mo Shaokun took the menu and looked at it, humming, good guy, it's really not cheap. After looking for half a day, he finally only ordered one vegetable salad and one Italian meat sauce noodles, as for what steak and so on, he really had no interest.

  Wei Qianqian obviously enjoyed herself more than Mo Shaokun, with dishes like pan-seared foie gras and red wine snails, just by looking at the dishes she ordered, it's clear that this girl often frequents high-end places.

  She even picked up a bottle of red wine, although it was not a famous wine or a vintage wine, but just these made Mo Shaokun unbearable.

  He now has only a few hundred yuan left on him, although Wei Qianqian said it was her treat, but can't really let the girl pay, that's a bit unkind.

  He couldn't help but touch his pocket, and Mo Shaokun had already started thinking about whether to call Zhang Ge later to ask him to send some money over...

  The waiter soon brought up the dishes they had ordered. Wei Qianqian looked at Mo Shaokun and said softly, "I'll go to the restroom first."

  Mo Shaokun nodded, and after Wei Qianqian returned, he also got up to go to the bathroom. Washing hands before meals is a good habit, and since Wei Qianqian had set an example, it wouldn't be right for him to remain unmoved.

  After Mo Shaokun left, a sharp light flashed in Wei Qianqian's eyes, and she hastily took out a small packet of white powder and poured it into Mo Shaokun's wine cup.

  She then nervously wiped away the powder that had accidentally fallen on the table, pretending as if nothing had happened, waiting for Mo Shao Kun to return.

  It just so happened that Wei Qianqian didn't notice, but when she was putting something in Mo Shaokun's wine cup, a middle-aged man sitting in the corner slightly furrowed his brow. Apart from this middle-aged man, Wang Jun and Li Qiang who were sitting at the entrance also noticed all of this, they exchanged a glance with each other, their eyes both containing some playful intent, it seemed that this pretty-looking girl's heart wasn't as captivating as her appearance.

  It wasn't long before Mo Shaokun returned. Wei Qianqian raised the wine glass in her hand and said, "Shaokun, thank you for accompanying me on my birthday today, I'm really happy."

  Mo Shaokun smiled and raised his glass, lightly clinking it with hers as he said, "Happy birthday!"

  "Thank you, cheers."

  "Cheers."

  Just as Mo Shao Kun was about to take a sip of wine, the middle-aged man sitting in the corner burst out laughing and walked over. Wang Jun and Li Qiang, who were just about to intervene, sat back down upon seeing him.

  "Oh dear Mr. Mo, what a coincidence! I never thought I'd run into you here."

  Mo Shaokun looked at Huang Wen with some surprise: "Mr. Huang? What are you doing here?"

  "Hehe, I'm here for dinner." Huang Wen smiled and said. He naturally couldn't tell Mo Shaokun that he was there to follow him.

  It's really not easy to say that Huang Wen has been lingering at the entrance of Andamen University for two days, and as long as he sees Mo Shaokun coming out of the school gate, he will follow closely.

  Actually, Wang Jun and Li Qiang had already discovered that Huang Wen had been following Mo Shaokun for a long time, but the two did not stop him. Firstly, this guy didn't seem like a bad person and should have no hostility towards Mo Shaokun. Secondly, last time the two of them saw Mo Shaokun and Huang Wen talking in front of the dormitory building, although they didn't know what they were saying, but it seemed that there was no conflict between them.

  So the two of them just kept a close eye on Huang Wen, and as long as he didn't do anything out of line, they wouldn't take the initiative to bother him.

  "Shao Kun, who is this?" Wei Qianqian looked at Mo Shaokun with some confusion.

  "Oh, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Huang." Mo Shaokun gave a rough introduction without mentioning what Huang Wen did.

  "I'm Huang Wen, a senior consultant for Dahua Records. Here's my card." Huang Wen smiled and handed Wei Qianqian his business card with lightning speed, as if it was second nature to him.

  Wei Qianqian raised an eyebrow in surprise and looked at him, a senior consultant for the record company? Isn't that just the legendary star scout?

  "Hello, Mr. Huang, my name is Wei Qianqian, I'm Mo Shaokun's... uh... classmate." Wei Qianqian stood up politely and shook hands with Huang Wen. Just because Mo Shaokun didn't want to be a star doesn't mean others don't want to either.

  "Miss Wei is really beautiful." Huang Wenren was an old hand at this, with the skill of speaking to people's faces and ghosts' backsides being refined to perfection. Even if it were a sow in front of him, he would still offer words of praise without hesitation.

  Wei Qianqian's face lit up with joy, saying: "Thank you, Mr. Huang, for your praise. You're used to seeing big stars, and compared to them, I'm far inferior."

  "There are, just talking about looks, Miss Wei is even more beautiful than many stars I know. If Miss Wei can get into this industry, she might become very famous." Huang Wen politely flattered, although his words sounded good, the expression in his eyes showed that he had no good feelings towards Wei Qianqian at all.

  Strictly speaking, Huang Wen is still a very upright person. If not, he wouldn't have appeared to stop Mo Shaokun from drinking the drugged wine. As for this girl who puts medicine in people's wine, no matter how beautiful she looks, Huang Wen would still look down on her!

  However, Wei Qianqian did not know Huang Wen's thoughts at this moment. Listening to Huang Wen's praise of herself, she had a bright smile on her face and said: "Actually, I also like singing very much. Mr. Huang is an expert in this field. If there is a chance in the future, please ask Mr. Huang to point it out."

  "Haha, okay, okay." Huang Wen laughed and stretched out his hand to Mo Shaokun: "I won't disturb you two from having your meal, Mr. Mo, see you later."

  "Goodbye." Mo Shaokun stretched out his hand and lightly shook hands with Huang Wen.

  When withdrawing his arm, Huang Wen 'accidentally' knocked over Mo Shao Kun's wine glass in front of him.

  "Oh dear, I'm so sorry... Oh, look at my clumsy hands and feet." Huang Wen pretended to be busy wiping the wine with a napkin from the table.

  Mo Shaokun smiled and said: "It's okay, let's change tables. Mr. Huang has something to attend to, so he can go ahead and take care of it first."

  "I'm really sorry to have troubled the two of you. I'll take my leave then, until we meet again." Huang Wen smiled and said, before returning to his own desk.

  Wei Qianqian stared foolishly at the wine cup, thinking to herself: It's all over, everything I planned for so long is gone! She turned her head and gave Huang Wen a venomous look, her eyes completely devoid of the admiration she had shown before.

  Wang Jun and Li Qiang, who were sitting at the door, couldn't help but smile, Wang Jun said: "That guy's acting skills are not bad."

  "Ah, should be a graduate of film academy."

  "...Wang Jun looked at Li Qiang in surprise, this sulky gourd can actually make jokes too..."
