Construction is lucrative. You must earn a lot in a year. Xiao Rans husband scoffed to himself. Following Shen Zhangqings reply, Xiao Rans husband believed he was putting on an act since he was reluctant to give a direct answer. It was clear that Shen Zhangqing had something to hide and was blowing him off.

Not much. I was nearly driven to bankruptcy last year. Shen Zhangqing made a wisecrack.

Xiao Rans husband let out a smile without continuing the conversation. He had nothing in common to talk about with the pretentious yokel. Shen Zhangqing probably was a measly foreman with a few men under him. Xiao Rans husband only heard of farmers committing suicide by jumping down from buildings after failing to demand wages from the boss, but this was his first to hear that the boss was backed into the corner by their workers.

Bankruptcy, his *ss. How much money did he have to use the word, bankruptcy? Had he ever been to school? Did he even know how to spell bankruptcy?

In the Mercedes Benz ahead.

Xiao Ran laid it on thick. Have you heard about Cream of the Crop? Its the best restaurant in town. The membership fee for the lowest tier member is at least 10 million yuan. Were having lunch there.

Yun Jinping smiled. Oh, you didnt have to.

Xiao Ran unconcernedly said, Its nothing. The minimum spending is only 100 thousand yuan.

Her husband borrowed the membership card from a friend in the capital, prepared to bring these rednecks to the best and most luxurious restaurant for a real eye-opener to the world of upper society.

Its expensive, Yun Jinping commented.

Xiao Ran uttered, Thats about the prices we pay when our family goes out for food. Its not at all expensive. Only the best restaurant for my old friend.

Shen Xi sat in the passengers seat next to the driver while the trio took the backseat. Sitting in the back, Xiao Ran had been yapping nonstop since they got into the car. Shen Xi was sick and tired of hearing all about it.

Way to show off her wealth.

The woman was mad to flaunt in front of her.

Besides, the condescension and superiority reflected in her tone did not sit well with Shen Xi.

Xiao Rans daughter would take a glance at Shen Xi every now and then. She was turned off by Shen Xis silence and brief perfunctory answers to Moms questions.

Who did she think she was? She was just a farmers girl. She must think she was all that because of her pretty face. Still, it did not change the fact that she was poor.

Throughout the journey, Xiao Ran bragged about her daily indulgence to Yun Jinping. She rambled on how she was tired of home-cooked meals and whatever haute couture bags shipped from overseas by air freight.

Shen Xi was sick to her stomach while lamenting how well her Madam Yun was putting up with her classless college friend. A truly wealthy person found it above themselves to flaunt their wealth.

Only the nouveau riche would show off to the whole world that they were rich.

Yun Jinping asked Xiao Ran when they were nearly at their destination, How much is the fare? Ill pay for it. I cant let you buy everything when youre already covering the meal.

Xiao Ran pretended to be mad. Dont be a stranger. I said Im bringing you to lunch, so its only right to give you the whole nine yards. Ill pay for it. It only costs five thousand.

Shen Xi felt a twitch in her eyelids. Man, the woman sure knew how to slip in a brag.

One after another, the car pulled up at the entrance of Cream of the Crop.

After getting down from the cars, the group headed into the restaurant.

Xiao Ran stepped into the lobby, yelling for the waiter while presenting the membership card. Please bring us to the best and most expensive suite you have.

Im sorry, Madam. The suites are full at the moment. Please wait over there. Our waiters will get right to you. The server politely replied with a smile.

What? Xiao Rans tone turned high pitched. I am a member here, you know. Give me the best suite or Ill sue you!

The server remained courteous. Those waiting there are all our members.

What would it take for you to arrange a suite? How much money do I have to top up? Having been turned down, Xiao Ran felt her pride challenged. She needed to regain the respect she was owed.

This is not a matter of money. Members are to book a month in advance for a suite. I would suggest seeking our VVIP members if you need the suite right now. Our VVIP members do not need to prebook for one. The attendant was well-informed enough to affably handle her mumbo jumbo.

Just you wait. Utterly humiliated, Xiao Ran stormed off to her husband. Hubby, do you have any VVIP friends? The waiters a snob and refused to give us a suite.

The people around, who were waiting to be seated, observed the joke that she was. Who sent in the clown? It was beneath them to be categorized in the same VIP status with someone who was not acquainted with the basic rules of Cream of the Crop.

Xiao Rans husband begged around for a membership card to support his wife in her quest to parade their privilege because he heard that the restaurant was the most distinguished in the capital. It was good enough they were able to borrow a membership, but a VVIP card was a different story.

Its fine. We can wait. Theres no rush. Yun Jinping softly persuaded her.

No. The restaurant has gone too far. Im going to talk some sense into them. Refusing to listen, Xiao Ran felt the server made a fool out of her. In an attempt to redeem herself, she took off.

Xiao Rans husband and daughter went with her too.

It did not take long before a quarrel broke out between them and the waiter. Xiao Ran, in particular, was a hellcat, kicking up a fuss while flinging the VIP membership card. She demanded a suite right away or she was going to call her lawyers.

Even Yun Jinping with the mildest temper was unable to stand it any longer. She got up to urge Xiao Ran to knock it off.

Turning to Shen Zhangqing and Yu Yuanxi, Shen Xi shrugged.

Shen Zhangqing cleared his throat. How about I get a VVIP card so we can get the lunch started?

Shen Xi answered, Its a waste of money since we hardly come, only once or twice in a year.

A simple phone call to deliver would fix it should a craving arise.

Shen Zhangqing remarked, Im afraid the security would come and kick them out if they keep it up. Shes your moms classmate after all. Itd be embarrassing.

Shen Xi chuckled. What a family of clowns. Nevertheless, it was not like they were going to cross paths after this incident.

Xiao Rans family was still acting out at the front desk. Xiao Rans husband began throwing out threats to make Cream of the Crop go out of business.

Whats going on here? With the elevator opening, a person walked out and stared at the big hoo-ha in displeasure.

Mr. Kun Lun, the lady here is our VIP member. She insists on a suite to be available right away. Ive explained to her the rules of the restaurant but shes not taking no as an answer. The attendant gave the lowdown.

Are you the person in charge? We spent 10 million on the membership fees and this is the thanks we get? Xiao Ran spitefully questioned with her finger up his nose.

Give them the best suite. All charges will be on the house, Kun Lun ordered.

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Xiao Ran felt pretty good about herself and gave the reasoning server a dirty look. Did you hear that? Your boss is to be the only one who seems to know whats going on.

Kun Lun turned black in the face while wondering where the idiot came from. He saw Mrs. Shen pulling her back and trying to break the fight up, so he played nice, thinking she was Mrs. Shens friend.

Your attendants need to be taught how to handle customers. Fire her. Pointing at the server, Xiao Ran told Kun Lun.

Without looking at Xiao Ran, Kun Lun made a beeline to Yun Jinping. Leaning over, he respectfully uttered, Mrs. Shen, we didnt know you were here. The best suite is ready for you.. Please follow me.
