After binding with the system, I became a super rich and beautiful woman!

Jinling Grand Hotel.

A top-tier hotel in the heart of Shanghai.

As evening approached, luxury cars occasionally drove past the entrance of the Jinling Grand Hotel.

When Li Zhen and the others arrived, there were not many parking spaces left in the parking lot.

However, they were lucky enough to find a parking spot for their car.

It's probably because Chu Xingzhou is there.

She discovered that Chu Xingzhou's lackeys always called him "Young Master".

It seems there's a designated parking space for him in the parking lot.

Thanks to Chu Xingzhou, Li Zhen and Shen Qinghong's car was parked next to his.

Li Zhen's intuition told her that Chu Xingzhou was no ordinary person.

He deliberately approached me today; he must have had another purpose.

However, Li Zhen was not afraid of him.

She actually really wanted to meet him.

Let's see what kind of big shot he really is.

"Zhen'er, we've arrived at the Grand Hotel!"

As soon as Shen Qinghong parked the car, he jogged over to Li Zhen's car door and eagerly tried to open it for her.

Li Zhen smiled and tried to push open the door to get out of the car.

However, just as she stepped out of the driver's seat, Chu Xingzhou appeared.

I don't know when he arrived.

Even Shen Qinghong, who was standing next to the car door, didn't notice.

"Zhen'er, please!"

Chu Xingzhou very gentlemanly extended his right hand, preparing to let Li Zhen help him out of the car.

He directly surpassed the others.

They were practically saying, "Princess, please get off the carriage!"

Shen Qinghong was once again overshadowed by Chu Xingzhou in front of Li Zhen.

I'm so angry.

However, he couldn't directly lash out in front of Li Zhen.

I could only suppress the flame in my heart.

Li Zhen looked at this and then that, caught in a dilemma.

However, she ultimately managed to treat everyone fairly.

Li Zhen first helped Chu Xingzhou out of the car by the wrist, and then, as Chu Xingzhou closed the car door for her, she pulled on Shen Qinghong's arm.

When Shen Qinghong saw Li Zhen holding him like that, he immediately felt better.

See, Zhen'er still cares about me.

He felt a little smug inside.

"Ok?"

When Chu Xingzhou turned around, he saw that Li Zhen was already holding Shen Qinghong's arm. Instead of being angry, he smiled politely at the two of them.

"Okay, let's go in!"

Chu Xingzhou stood on the other side of Li Zhen, keeping his shoulders level with Li Zhen's.

"Well, let's go!"

Li Zhen's lips twitched involuntarily.

Sensing the struggle between the two men beside her, she seemed to see an ancient empress surrounded by her male favorites.

"hehe."

Li Zhen secretly chuckled bitterly to herself several times.

It seems being an empress isn't easy!

Shen Qinghong also stayed by Li Zhen's side without leaving her for a moment.

And so, the three of them entered the lobby on the first floor of the hotel in a very strange way.

Upon entering the lobby, Chu Xingzhou's bodyguards greeted the lobby manager, and one of them whispered something in the manager's ear.

A moment later, the lobby manager led them to a luxurious VIP room on the third floor.

This is a private room.

Li Zhen didn't need to guess much; she could tell at a glance that this was Chu Xingzhou's private room.

The lobby manager was very polite and courteous.

They poured tea and set out fruit platters for Li Zhen and the others.

Only then did he personally deliver the menu to Chu Xingzhou.

His original intention was to let Chu Xingzhou order the food.

As a result, as soon as Chu Xingzhou got the menu, he handed it over to Li Zhen.

"Zhen'er, please order first."

"Take a look at this menu, see if there are any dishes you like."

Chu Xingzhou looked at Li Zhen with passionate yet tender eyes.

"..."

Li Zhen glanced at the menu in her hand, then looked at Chu Xingzhou beside her.

She really felt like she was going to go numb.

Chu Xingzhou is being way too enthusiastic.

Her enthusiasm made her unable to resist becoming narcissistic.

However, she certainly wouldn't actually say anything exaggerated.

She has to observe carefully.

Let's see what Chu Xingzhou is really up to.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Li Zhen stopped staring at Chu Xingzhou and instead looked down at the menu in her hand.

This was her first time visiting the Jinling Grand Hotel.

Therefore, she had to carefully examine every dish on the menu.

After looking at the menu for a few minutes, Li Zhen finally ordered two vegetarian dishes and two meat dishes, as well as a staple food, two cold dishes, and two glasses of orange juice.

One cup for myself, and one cup for Shen Qinghong.

She was afraid that Shen Qinghong would be embarrassed to order food, so she took it upon herself to order him a glass of juice as well.

"Okay, I've ordered."

Li Zhen returned the menu to Chu Xingzhou.

Chu Xingzhou took the menu, his lips twitched slightly, and then he lowered his head to carefully open the menu and start ordering.

He ordered seven or eight signature dishes in one go, and finally ordered two bottles of red wine.

He didn't even blink when ordering food.

It's as if all these dishes are free.

Chu Xingzhou ordered the food and then politely handed the menu to Shen Qinghong.

"Young man, I almost forgot, you haven't ordered yet. Why don't you take a look?"

Although Chu Xingzhou's words sounded perfectly normal, Shen Qinghong detected a provocative undertone in them.

"Humph!"

Shen Qinghong's arrogance flared up instantly, and he was determined to make Chu Xingzhou suffer.

He picked up the menu and selected two of the most expensive red wines from the drinks section.

After selecting the red wine, he didn't forget to turn around and give Chu Xingzhou a big eye roll.

Chu Xingzhou found Shen Qinghong's behavior hilarious and childish.

He wouldn't really take Shen Qinghong seriously.

It's just two bottles of relatively expensive wine; it's not like he can't afford them.

"Okay, we've ordered. Tell the kitchen to hurry up and prepare the food; we're all starving!"

Chu Xingzhou turned to the lobby manager, unconcerned, and gave him a few instructions.

"Okay, please wait a moment while I go to the kitchen to prepare dinner for you."

The lobby manager bowed respectfully, then put away the menus and took two steps back.

"Okay, go ahead." Chu Xingzhou waved to the lobby manager with a calm expression.

The lobby manager left the private room quickly.

The private room immediately fell silent.

Li Zhen was reluctant to speak first.

Shen Qinghong couldn't be bothered to talk to Chu Xingzhou at all.

Chu Xingzhou was neither angry nor annoyed by these two people.

His emotions seemed to remain stable throughout.

Li Zhen sat drinking tea, occasionally stealing glances at Chu Xingzhou.

Not long after.

Several staff members knocked on the door and came in.

They laid out various dishes for Li Zhen and the others.

The dishes were neatly arranged on the table.

Li Zhen was completely dumbfounded.

There are so many dishes, how can the three of them possibly finish them all?

Chu Xingzhou is so extravagant that he's inhuman.

"Zhen'er, come, try this beef."

Chu Xingzhou enthusiastically used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of stir-fried beef for Li Zhen.

Several slices of fresh, fragrant, and spicy beef suddenly appeared on the plate in front of Li Zhen.

"Oh, thank you, thank you. I can do it myself. You don't need to go to all that trouble."

Li Zhen held her chopsticks, her eyes fixed firmly on Chu Xingzhou.

"It's alright, you don't need to be so polite with me. I'm the host today, so naturally I have to take good care of my guests."

It was just picking up a piece of food with his chopsticks, yet he made a fuss about it.

"hehe."

Li Zhen chuckled helplessly, no longer wanting to argue with Chu Xingzhou.

Let him do whatever he wants.

She's very, very hungry right now, so she'll just have to eat.

He likes to serve her food, so let's continue.

That way, she won't have to strain her arms.

Li Zhen finished eating the beef before picking up the orange juice glass next to her.

"Come, let's have a drink together. It's a pleasure to meet you today, Mr. Chu. Thank you for the sumptuous dinner."

"Thank you so much!"

Chu Xingzhou quickly raised his glass with a smile, "You're welcome, you really don't need to be so polite with me."

When Shen Qinghong saw Li Zhen raise her glass, he also awkwardly raised his glass and clinked it with Li Zhen and Chu Xingzhou's.

"Thank you for dinner, Mr. Chu."

He also sincerely thanked Chu Xingzhou.

"You're welcome." Chu Xingzhou smiled and downed the glass of red wine in one gulp.

After thanking her, Li Zhen focused on eating her meal.

Seeing how much she enjoyed her food, Shen Qinghong and Chu Xingzhou surprisingly started eating along with her.

Suddenly, the only sound in the private room was the clinking of chopsticks against porcelain bowls.

Everyone felt very comfortable after the meal.

After dinner, Li Zhen and Chu Xingzhou chatted for a while about trivial matters.

However, she still vaguely sensed Chu Xingzhou's ulterior motives.

He wants to get something from me.

Li Zhen was still unsure what exactly it was.

However, Li Zhen felt that there were two most likely possibilities.

One reason is that Chu Xingzhou has taken a liking to some of the treasures she bought today.

Another reason is that Chu Xingzhou has taken a liking to Li Zhen.

In short, when they parted ways, Chu Xingzhou even took the initiative to ask for Li Zhen's contact information.

Li Zhen naturally wouldn't refuse.

In any case, in her opinion, Chu Xingzhou would eventually be defeated by her.

If you don't believe me, just wait and see.
