Who Said I Am a Wealthy Person

Meng Qianyu sat on the edge of the bed, her cheeks puffed out in annoyance. "What's the big deal about smoking a cigarette, anyway!"

"I just wanted to see what it tastes like. Besides, I'm in my twenties; am I not allowed to smoke?"

Pan Ning rolled her eyes at Meng Qianyu. "If you aren't afraid of getting a beating, go ask him for one again."

"Hmph, I'll buy a pack myself when we go out later!"

......

The group chatted idly for a while, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

At 5:15 PM, everyone started talking in the group chat.

Ji Bo: Brothers and sisters, are we ready to set off?

Meng Wenzhou posted the address for dinner into the group: This is where we're eating later. It's a Tibetan restaurant. Does anyone have any objections?

Chu Qiunan: None here. Since we're in the Tibetan region, naturally we have to try Tibetan food.

Zhang Ziming: Agreed, Tibetan food is quite good.

Zhong Qing: I have no issues.

Tang Ziyun: So, are we leaving now?

Meng Wenzhou: OK, let's go. @Chu Qiunan @Ji Bo, you two wait for us in the lobby.

Chu Qiunan: Received.

Ji Bo: Roger that~

After the chat, Su Yang and the other guys opened their doors and walked out.

They went to the girls' room next door and knocked.

"Open up, open up~ Time to go."

"Wait a second, we're changing clothes~" Su Qingci shouted from inside the room.

"Alright, hurry up then. We'll wait for you at the door."

"OK."

Five minutes later, the six girls walked out, all changed into fresh outfits.

Pan Ning was wearing a black baseball cap, a loose grey shirt layered over a white T-shirt, ripped jeans, and a pair of white Chanel skate shoes.

Meng Qianyu had changed into a pale blue dress with a cinched waist paired with a light jacket and a bucket hat, looking pure and adorable.

The others had also put on light jackets, as Kangding could get a bit chilly in the evening.

The girls walked quickly toward the boys, each carrying a large bag in their hands.

Su Yang walked up to Pan Ning and asked, "What are you doing with those big bags?"

"These are the clothes we changed out of earlier. We're going to take them to get washed~"

"Oh, I see. Are you hungry?"

Pan Ning nodded. "A little bit."

"Then let's get moving~"

"What are you two whispering about over there?" Meng Wenzhou walked over with a smile.

"Nothing, let's go."

A few minutes later, the ten of them arrived at the guesthouse lobby, where Chu Qiunan and Ji Bo were already sitting in the lounge area drinking tea and waiting.

"You're here~ Let's go."

"Wait a moment, we're going to give these clothes to the staff to wash."

This guesthouse provided free laundry service. The girls walked to the front desk, handed their bags of clothes to the staff, and after making a note of the details, everyone chatted as they headed toward the parking lot outside.

"Should we bring our clothes down to wash when we get back later?" Liu Bo asked, looking at the other guys.

"Sure, otherwise I'm going to run out of clothes to wear," Zhang Ziming laughed.

"OK, but will they dry in one night?" Ji Bo asked.

Zhang Ziming rolled his eyes at him. "Since they offer this service, they obviously have dryers."

"Oh, right, haha."

"Worrying about nothing. And to think you're a little tycoon."

"Who said I was a tycoon?" Ji Bo paused.

"You drive an M4 and you're not rich?"

"What does an M4 count for? It can't compare to what you guys have. Besides, I didn't pay for that car myself; I had to beg my old man for over a month before he bought it for me."

"Then you have the nerve to talk? You freeloader."

"You're the freeloader!"

......

After bantering for a bit, they got into their respective cars and drove slowly toward the Kangding county center.

Ten minutes later, the three cars arrived at the entrance of the restaurant Meng Wenzhou had booked.

Fortunately, the place he reserved had a large courtyard for guests to park; otherwise, finding a parking spot in the old district of Kangding would have been quite a struggle.

Everyone drove their cars into the courtyard of the Tibetan restaurant.

The establishment looked quite large, consisting of three two-story buildings and a courtyard that could accommodate over a dozen cars.

The courtyard was already nearly full. Luckily, they had arrived relatively early; if they had been any later, there probably wouldn't have been any spots left.

After parking, the twelve of them walked toward the main entrance one after another.

The sign above the main gate displayed the restaurant's name in both Chinese and Tibetan: Good Luck & Happiness Folk Tibetan Restaurant.

After lifting the red curtain hanging over the door, they entered the restaurant.

At that moment, a young man wearing Tibetan clothing, his cheeks slightly flushed with a natural highland glow, quickly walked over to greet them. He pressed his palms together and looked at them with a smile.

"Tashi Delek~"

"Oh, oh, Tashi Delek, Tashi Delek~" Liu Bo and Chu Qiunan, who were walking in the front, immediately returned the greeting.

"Welcome to Good Luck & Happiness Tibetan Restaurant. You handsome guys and beautiful ladies must be here on a self-driving tour, right?"

"Yes, that's right. We just arrived in Kangding today~"

"Wonderful. Please, come in~" The Tibetan young man very politely invited everyone inside.

The interior was spacious, and the layout and decoration were authentically Tibetan, featuring a lot of stone and wood.

Su Yang looked around. The walls were decorated in the traditional Tibetan color palette of red, yellow, and white, adorned with various exquisite patterns. The highland atmosphere hit him the moment he walked in.

Su Yang smiled as he looked around; this was his first time eating at an authentic Tibetan restaurant.

He had eaten Tibetan food back in Haicheng, but the owner wasn't Tibetan, and it hadn't been authentic at all.

Today, he could finally properly taste the real deal.

They followed the young man to a spacious table in the inner part of the restaurant. There were already several other tables of guests dining.

After they were seated, the young man brought over the menu and two pots of complimentary butter tea.

Meng Wenzhou had only ordered a set meal earlier, which definitely wouldn't be enough food, so everyone began to order additional dishes.

Soon, they ordered a bunch of items not included in the set: Beef with dough cover, hand-pulled beef and mutton, fried lamb chops, grilled shiitake mushrooms, Tibetan blood sausage, tomato stewed brisket, yak yogurt, and more.

In a short while, they had ordered a pile of dishes that exceeded the portion size for twelve people.

Seeing that Meng Wenzhou was preparing to order even more, the young man swallowed nervously and reminded him, "Handsome, you've ordered about enough. There's still the set meal. If you order more, I don't think you'll be able to finish it all~"

Hearing this, Liu Bo waved his hand dismissively. "Hehe, don't worry, young man. We have huge appetites. Thanks for the reminder, though."

Su Yang chimed in as well, "Don't worry. If we can't finish it, we'll pack it up for a late-night snack. It won't go to waste."

"Alright, alright."

Meng Wenzhou ordered two more dishes before finally stopping. "Okay, that's it."

"Alright. Handsome guys, beautiful ladies, please have some butter tea first. We'll serve the food very soon."

"OK, thanks for the trouble~"

"It's my pleasure. By the way, since you've ordered so much, I noticed you didn't order the ice-fresh yak meat. I'll give you a portion on the house to try."

"Oh? Ice-fresh yak meat?"

"Yes, it's a very famous local dish. Since you've come to Kangding, I suggest you give it a try."

"Okay, thank you so much. Are you the owner of this place?"

The young man smiled shyly. "No, no, I'm the owner's son."
