Chapter 102: Wingman?

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Wingman?

"Old Iron, thanks!"

Taking advantage of the two women’s absence, Lin Shouqing lowered his voice. "Sorry to trouble a rich tycoon like you to be my wingman."

"You covert playboy are getting more and more dramatic." Su Yunzhou teased Old Iron, but his mind couldn’t help recalling their wild and frivolous youth.

Back then, whenever he asked a girl out, he had to bring a wingman, and Lin Shouqing had helped out a lot. However, he should probably be called a "Super Rocket" now.

"You’re quite something! You’ve only been here for a few days and you’re already..." Su Yunzhou raised an eyebrow, leaving the rest unsaid.

Lin Shouqing slicked back his hair with a suppressed smirk. "I originally planned a romantic dinner with Tingting, but I didn’t expect her little cousin to suddenly show up. Whether I can get lucky tonight all depends on you, Old Iron!"

"Tsk, tsk." Su Yunzhou smacked his lips in disbelief.

Lin Shouqing said, "Don’t doubt it, there’s really a chance. Tingting looks quiet and gentle, but she’s actually quite bold when chatting. Her meme stickers are even more provocative than mine."

"Oh?" Su Yunzhou teased. "Care to share your secret with your wingman?"

Lin Shouqing’s face lit up with excitement. "We just happened to have the right time and place. Now, all that’s missing is the ’right people’."

Su Yunzhou joked, "Care to elaborate on this ’right people’ part?"

"Hahaha." Seeing the two women strolling over, Lin Shouqing immediately shut his mouth.

After the two women took their seats, Cui Yao asked curiously, "Yunzhou, what are you chatting about? You look so happy."

Su Yunzhou teased, "My Old Iron was saying that he hasn’t eaten well since he came to Rongcheng. Today, thanks to you, he finally gets to eat authentic delicacies and have some meat. He was even complaining a bit that I didn’t host him well."

"COUGH COUGH." Hearing Old Iron’s extremely "candid" words, Lin Shouqing looked helpless. His cheeks flushed slightly as he coughed dryly.

Hearing this, Cui Yao burst into laughter. Sun Tingting also pursed her lips into a faint smile.

Su Yunzhou continued, "Hotpot and beer are one of life’s greatest pleasures. How about a little drink?"

Lin Shouqing and Sun Tingting didn’t say anything, but Cui Yao expressed some concern. "Yunzhou, didn’t you drive?"

Su Yunzhou replied casually, "It’s fine. I can just call a designated driver."

"Sure! But I’m a lightweight, so I can only drink a little," Cui Yao said with a charming smile.

Lin Shouqing immediately called the boss over to deliver a crate of beer.

This hotpot restaurant tasted pretty good. It specialized in "fresh, numbing, and spicy" flavors, making the group sweat profusely as they ate. Thanks to Lin Shouqing’s relentless efforts, the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Sun Tingting was tactfully coaxed into drinking a couple of small bottles. As for her cousin Cui Yao, her alcohol tolerance truly seemed lacking. After just a few glasses, she was already a bit dizzy, her small face flushed bright red as she stole occasional glances at the young, wealthy Su Yunzhou.

Once the meal was over, Lin Shouqing generously footed the bill. Seeing that it was still early, the group discussed going to a second venue.

A drunken-looking Cui Yao suddenly spoke up. "I have a girlfriend who works as a promoter at a very popular bar nearby. If we’re going to a bar, we can go there."

Lin Shouqing nodded in agreement. As long as he could keep drinking with Sun Tingting, he was fine with anything. Su Yunzhou naturally didn’t mind. He hailed a designated driver on his phone, and a few minutes later, they headed toward Helens Bar.

On the way there, Su Yunzhou sat in the passenger seat, while the two women sat in the back. Cui Yao held her phone, messaging her friend to reserve a table. Sun Tingting sat in the middle, pressed tightly against Lin Shouqing.

Seeing the two exchanging flirtatious glances, it looked like they might actually have a real chance tonight. Then he, as the wingman, had to put in some real effort.

Fifteen minutes later, the Panamera parked at the entrance of Helens Bar. A hot woman with minor cosmetic enhancements, wearing a tight camisole and hot pants, walked over with a beaming smile.

She thought, "My girl really came through today. This handsome guy drives a Panamera."

"Yaoyao, over here."

"Coco." Cui Yao waved and walked over.

Coco looked at her friend’s dizzy state and asked curiously, "How much did you drink? To actually get you..."

"COUGH COUGH." Cui Yao suddenly coughed a few times, then blinked her large eyes repeatedly.

Coco understood instantly. This was the "playing drunk to get lucky" routine. She was very familiar with it.

"Sir, because you arrived a bit late, the table is slightly towards the back. You’ll have to make do with it," Coco said.

"That’s fine."

The group followed her inside. After passing through a door guarded by four burly bouncers, they were met with a blast of deafening, pulsating music and a neon-lit, intoxicating atmosphere. Lin Shouqing looked thrilled. Sun Tingting, on the other hand, seemed as if it were her first time in such an environment. She appeared somewhat reserved and uneasy, closely following her cousin.

Coco led the group into the booth area. "Sir, what would you like to drink?"

Recalling something, Su Yunzhou asked, "I saw online that there’s some incredibly flashy Divine Dragon Set! Do you have that here?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Coco’s face lit up with so much excitement that the cosmetic threads embedded in her cheeks almost popped out. "Sir, we have the Minor Dragon Set and the Major Dragon Set."

"No rush! Elaborate on them for me."

A moment later, Su Yunzhou said calmly, "Then bring out the Major Dragon Set!"

"Right away!" Coco smiled so hard her apple cheeks almost froze. Pressing her body close to him, she spoke in a soft, sweet tone. "Sir! You’ll need to pay upfront, but I’ll give you a discount."

"Bring it on! Scan the code!" Su Yunzhou took out his phone. With a BEEP, he paid eighty-eight thousand yuan. He then leaned in and whispered a few words into Coco’s ear.

"Sir, don’t worry, I’ll arrange it perfectly for you." With that, Coco immediately sashayed her perky hips away to make the arrangements.

Cui Yao looked at the suave and wealthy Su Yunzhou, her eyes practically shooting stars of adoration.

She thought, "The Divine Dragon Set! I’ve been here so many times. I finally have a chance to drink it!"

Hearing the eighty-eight thousand yuan price tag for the liquor, the way Sun Tingting looked at Su Yunzhou also changed drastically.

Lin Shouqing’s mind went blank. He immediately signaled his friend that he was going to the restroom. The two headed to the washroom one after the other.

Lin Shouqing asked in utter confusion, "Old Iron! What’s going on? Even if you’re rich now, you shouldn’t just squander it like this!

"Eighty-eight thousand! For a Divine Dragon Set?

"I couldn’t even repay such a massive favor if I offered myself to you!"

Su Yunzhou showed a look of sheer disgust. "I have zero interest in your ass."

Seeing that the other man was about to say something else, Su Yunzhou hurriedly stopped him. "Don’t be so fucking dramatic! How many years have we known each other?

"Back in the day, you would sneak your living expenses to me so I could pick up girls and show off, ending up eating instant noodles for half a month. At that time, I swore that once I got rich, I’d treat you properly.

"Now I am rich!

"And since I’m your wingman, I have to wingman you into the stratosphere tonight."

Lin Shouqing hadn’t expected him to bring up such ancient history. He looked incredibly moved, dragging out the end of his words. "My man—"

"Don’t get horny over me!" Su Yunzhou said with a look of disdain. "Go, go, go! Go back to your Tingting.

"If you don’t score tonight, I will look down on you."

Lin Shouqing sounded slightly aggrieved. "With you pulling out this Divine Dragon Set, I reckon you’ll be the one getting lucky, while I might not even get a taste."

"Heh." Su Yunzhou gave a dismissive smirk. "Did you really think I wouldn’t consider that? Come on, hurry back. This is only the beginning."

"Ah? Hmm?" Lin Shouqing was stunned for a moment before bursting into hearty laughter.

"Then let’s go, my man!"
