``` "This way, please!" The manager personally led Fang Jueyu and Guo Xinyu to an elegant seat by the window. Through the window, they could see the enchanting night view of the city, and it was distanced from other tables, offering a quieter ambiance. There were four such seats, reserved for special guests. These seats weren't something that just anyone could enjoy. "I apologize to both of you on behalf of the server from earlier. I hope her rudeness didn't disturb your dining experience." The lobby manager brought the server before them, and she looked down, clearly aware of her mistake. The lobby manager had reminded her earlier that whatever happened, she must earn forgiveness. If the guests were short-tempered and insisted on pursuing this, even the owner of the establishment could be in trouble. "Forget it," Fang Jueyu waved his hand. "I know your work can be grueling, but never vent your emotions on the customers. That should be the greatest taboo in the service industry. Just be more careful next time." "Thank you for your understanding!" Hearing that Fang Jueyu wouldn't pursue the incident, the manager breathed a sigh of relief. "To express our apologies, today's expenses will be waived for both of you. You can scan the QR code on the table to order, and we'll arrange it as quickly as possible." "Alright, we understand, thank you!" The server, feeling a huge relief, left with the lobby manager. Today's incident likely taught her a vivid lesson, and no matter how bad her mood might be in the future, she wouldn't dare treat customers with such an attitude. "Fang Jueyu!" Guo Xinyu pouted, "Didn't I say that I was treating you to dinner today? Now it's all on the house, what's up with that!" "You're still treating, aren't you? There's no difference, hahaha!" "No, it's not the same!" Not having spent a dime, Guo Xinyu looked distressed. She intended to properly thank Fang Jueyu for his help, but she didn't imagine his influence was so significant that they could just walk into a place and get a free meal. "Next time we're free, I'll treat you again. This one doesn't count!" Guo Xinyu insisted. "Even if we pick another place, it might just turn out to be one of my own restaurants, or perhaps they'll comp our meal too. You better not waste your effort!" Fang Jueyu himself wasn't even sure how many restaurants he owned. Even this seafood restaurant might turn out to be part of a restaurant group under his name. "Hmph! It's really hard to get along with you rich folks!" Guo Xinyu pretended to be upset. "Alright, alright, let's eat first. Don't go against your stomach!" Fang Jueyu opened his phone to order, after all, it was free, so why not eat! "Growl!" After a busy day, Guo Xinyu's stomach let out a few protesting sounds, embarrassing her into quickly lowering her head. "You didn't hear anything just now!" "I didn't hear! I didn't hear anything, hahahaha!" Fang Jueyu couldn't help but laugh. Guo Xinyu was quite down-to-earth, after all. "By the way, Xinyu, what's going on at your home? I remember you said before that you started streaming to earn your tuition and living expenses, so as not to burden your family." At this point, Guo Xinyu's face filled with worry, "Maybe it's just fate!" Her father, Guo Shu, was a construction contractor. Just two years ago, due to an accident, two workers died unexpectedly, and Guo Shu was required to pay over two million in compensation. With this, the cash flow faced issues, and the family business collapsed, leaving them with millions in debt. Normally, with Guo Shu's capability, he could resolve these issues in time, but that was when he was diagnosed with uremia! Guo Shu's health plummeted, and he could only rely on dialysis to sustain his life until a suitable kidney could be found for transplant, worsening the family's situation. Fortunately, after meeting Fang Jueyu, the money he gifted her on the streaming platform, combined with the signing bonus, amounted to a significant sum. With that money, she's managed to pay off more than half of the debt, which is why she's so grateful to Fang Jueyu. "Has a kidney been found yet?" Fang Jueyu knew this was a very challenging task. Many patients with uremia lost their lives waiting indefinitely. "Not yet," Guo Xinyu shook her head. "I don't know when we'll find a matching kidney." Although her family's circumstance improved, Guo Xinyu still hoped her family could return to their safe and happy life. "I'll find some time to visit your dad!" Fang Jueyu suddenly thought about some failed alchemical pills he recently obtained from his ancestors. Since they could cure cancer, dealing with uremia should be a breeze. But to Guo Xinyu, this had another implication. Since this was their first meeting, the idea of taking him to visit her father felt a bit improper. "Well, I'll thank you in advance on behalf of my dad." After contemplating, Guo Xinyu nodded. Fang Jueyu's goodwill was evident, and besides, the improvement in her family's situation was all thanks to him. Soon enough, the food they ordered arrived. Although it was also a seafood feast, the quality didn't quite compare to the most extravagant seafood noodles she ever had. Suddenly, Fang Jueyu found himself missing the meals made by his chef. "You know, when you have time, come over to my place. Our chef makes dishes you'll remember for a lifetime!" Fang Jueyu didn't mind if Guo Xinyu misunderstood, he merely wanted to share the experience of his chef's cooking. "Sure… sure..." Guo Xinyu's heart raced. Was Fang Jueyu hinting at something? Honestly speaking, it's hard not to be moved by someone like Fang Jueyu, with his outstanding appearance and prominent family background. Moreover, he had helped her, and over time, she sensed that he wasn't a spoiled heir. But someone so exceptional, was she even worthy? "Hey Xinyu, aren't you supposed to stream today?" Fang Jueyu casually asked while eating. He had watched Guo Xinyu's stream for a long time, and unless something came up, she was almost always online. "Oh no, I forgot!" Guo Xinyu smacked her forehead. "I promised the viewers an outdoor stream after the show today." "Why don't you stream the meal then?" Fang Jueyu didn't mind; it was Guo Xinyu's job, and he didn't care if he appeared on camera. After all, people had already photographed them together today. "Then... Should I really go live now? You won't mind, will you?" Guo Xinyu cautiously asked. "What's there to mind? Go ahead and stream!" Sёarch* The nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With Fang Jueyu's approval, Guo Xinyu quickly took out her phone and started the stream. She promised the viewers she'd start at seven, but now it was already seven thirty. Nevertheless, there were still over a hundred thousand fans chatting casually in her livestream. "Xinyu, you stood us up! Spill it, which jerk are you secretly meeting!" "As expected, the essence of humans is always pigeon!" "Don't you know? Someone saw Xinyu and a handsome guy together at China Joy today, and rumors say that guy is Lu!" "No way? Has our Xinyu been stolen away?" "Just thinking about how Lu might devour Xinyu not leaving a bone tonight makes me feel like I'm gonna die!" "Xinyu, show yourself!" ... "Hahaha," Guo Xinyu put her phone in front of Fang Jueyu, "You're in trouble, my fans are collectively railing against you now!" ```
