Just then, a man walked in with a puzzled look on his face.

"Brother Fang, when we went to pay the bill, they said someone had already paid?"

The man looked bewildered, but he returned after the manager nodded in acknowledgment. However, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

Who paid the bill?

Lin Fang sat in the chair, his brows furrowed. "Who bought it? Did anyone speak to the manager?"

Ji Chenhan looked at the bill. Their meal had cost a lot of money. Who had paid the bill before them?

The man nodded. "He said he's the behind-the-scenes boss."

Upon hearing this, not only Lin Fang, but everyone in the private room was instantly dumbfounded.

Sitting to the side, Shen Zhile looked at the reactions of the people around her and thought to herself, "Oh no, could she have guessed right?"

They just acquired all the shares, and the next second they found out?

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the private room, followed by the manager pushing the door open and entering.

Upon entering, I was met with a deathly silence in the private room, and for a moment I felt a little lost. I carefully placed the wine in my hand on the table and said, "Excuse me, this is a complimentary wine."

He then looked at Shen Zhile with a fawning smile, "Happy birthday, Miss Shen."

Shen Zhile sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. Well, she had actually guessed right.

All eyes immediately turned to Shen Zhile.

Wasn't he kicked out of the Shen family? Could it be that he has some powerful, unknown background?

Lin Fang looked at the red wine on the table, his brows furrowing even more as he worried about his sister. "Take the wine away, and return whoever paid. It's unacceptable for someone like me, Lin Fang, to pay for a meal."

Ji Chenhan picked up the red wine and examined it carefully before slowly saying, "This meal cost over 300,000, and the red wine cost 500,000."

Is the Peace Hotel offering a discount today? That's impossible!

Lin Fang was a little tipsy, and when he heard this, he immediately thought that it must be some old lecher trying to pick up his sister!

How could he, as the older brother, possibly tolerate this?

"I'm celebrating my sister's birthday. You should return whoever paid for it; I'll pay for it myself!"

What a joke! He just met this girl; how could he let her swindle him out of a mere few hundred thousand?

His sister deserves the best in the world.

The manager looked bitter, glancing at Shen Zhile every now and then, his eyes pleading for help.

Ji Chenhan noticed this scene and casually walked between the two, blocking the manager's view completely.

The atmosphere remained tense.

Finally, Shen Zhile rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "Let him leave his things behind."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fang immediately became anxious and turned around, "Little sister, I'll treat you to a big meal later, this is nothing!"

The manager breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon. Fortunately, the boss was finally willing to step forward, so he quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Boss, please enjoy your meal with your friends. Feel free to call me if you need anything."

After he finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the private room.

It was the sound of the manager closing the door that brought everyone back to their senses.

Lin Fang looked at the doorway, then at Shen Zhile, and said incredulously, "Sis! The Peace Hotel is yours?"

The most surprised person was Principal Wang. He thought it was just a small fry, but it turned out to be a trump card!

Looking at the ownership structure, this restaurant is actually a state-owned enterprise!

So he's become the boss inside?

This likely has a very strong revolutionary background.

"That's right, that's why the manager gave us a free meal."

Shen Zhile had no idea why they had learned the news so quickly; she couldn't deny it.

With Lin Fang's stubborn temper, he won't let things rest until he fully understands them.

"So just relax and eat. It's my birthday, so consider it my treat."

After he finished speaking, some knowledgeable people who hadn't taken Shen Zhile seriously before suddenly began to think more highly of him after this incident.

This is something that's related to the color red, and it's not something that these businessmen can easily touch.

There's a saying that goes something like this.

Shanghai is a sea of ​​commerce, while Beijing is just a backdrop.

Lin Fang wasn't completely drunk. He smiled and waved his hand, "Keep eating! What are you standing there for? And remember to make up for the gifts later and send them to me."

They show no mercy when it comes to betraying their friends.

His sister treated everyone to dinner, so what's wrong with giving a small gift?

He remembered that his family's new residential complex would be available for sale soon, and he planned to save a few units for his sister.

After a brief moment of surprise, everyone responded quickly to Lin Fang's words, and the private room returned to its previous lively state. Although they didn't say it, their eyes told a very different story.

Like an X-ray, it scanned Shen Zhile's body.

Some people secretly speculated that Shen Zhile, who was kicked out of the Shen family, should have been destitute, but he turned out to be the owner of the Peace Hotel.

Who is behind this?

How could someone so little be promoted to the position of owner of the Peace Hotel?

System 888: Concealing one's merits and fame.

Shen Zhile appeared calm and composed on the surface, but inwardly she felt somewhat helpless.

She just wanted to have a nice meal, but she's being treated like a monkey in a zoo.

Lin Fang calmed down for a moment, checked the time, and said, "Alright, my sister has class tomorrow, I'll take her home first, you guys continue having fun."

After saying that, Shen Zhile stood up and walked out with an apologetic expression.

Ji Chenhan picked up his suit jacket and followed him out.

"Sis, I feel like I'm a bit out of my league."

Lin Fang was well aware of the prestige of the Peace Hotel, but he never expected that the identity of the sister he had recognized would be so impressive.

Are those people in the Shen family idiots?

Such a precious treasure, and you don't even treat it like royalty?

Ji Chenhan frowned as he watched Lin Fang trying to walk in a straight line without Shen Zhile's help, but ultimately reached out and held him down.

"You've been drinking and you still want to take someone home? What, are you afraid you'll survive?"

Shen Zhile leaned against the wall, watching Lin Fang's unsteady posture.

Seeing this, he casually took a few steps back.

After all, it would be so embarrassing if she fell while wearing such a beautiful outfit!

Soon someone came over to help Lin Fang, and the manager also came over. He was a little surprised to see Lin Fang's appearance. "Boss, would you like some food to go?"

Shen Zhile nodded casually, mainly because the food here was so delicious!

"You can pack some up, I'll take it home to eat."

The manager nodded upon hearing this. "Does Shaolin need it?"

Ji Chenhan shook his head, "You just need to prepare Zhile's, we don't need to worry about ours."

Seeing this, the manager instructed the person next to him to prepare.

When they arrived at the entrance, Shen Zhile was carrying some things. She only felt relieved when she saw the people from the Peace Hotel put Lin Fang into the car.

"Let's go, I'll take you back."

Ji Chenhan had his coat draped over his arm and his tie off, probably because he was hot from being bothered by Lin Fang, that drunkard.

The driver was from the Ji family. Shen Zhile and Ji Chenhan sat in the back, while Lin Fang was left in the last row and slept soundly.
