Got it!

  Understood!

  It's already past 4 pm after leaving the hair salon, Fang Xian is convinced that Ling'er will be hungry again soon, and he's thinking about where to go for dinner. Forget about spicy hot pot, if they eat it again, they'll throw up.

  Who would have thought that on this road, Ling'er and Yuè Rú were very well-behaved, whispering to each other all the time, occasionally pointing at new things by the roadside and exclaiming in admiration.

  My goodness, they've come around.

  To make sure it wasn't just an illusion, to ensure they weren't brewing a bigger conspiracy, Fang Xian asked in a soft voice: "Ling'er, are you hungry?"

  But then Ling'er giggled and said: "I'm not hungry, I've been eating a lot lately, let's fast tonight!"

  Fang Xian's whole body trembled, and the two words "absolute fasting" coming from Ling Er's mouth had too much impact.

  "The moon suddenly revealed a radiant smile: 'Hmm, I'm not hungry either. Let's save one meal and hurry back to rest.'"

  Something is off, and Fang Xian has a hundred reasons to believe they are hiding something.

  "Spicy hot pot?" Fang Xian stared at Ling'er and said these three words, his tone full of teasing and temptation.

  Slurp...

  Ling'er's words and heart were sold out by her own desires, yet the person who could see through lies was so vulnerable to their own deceit.

  "What were you two whispering about just now?" Fang Xian forcefully inserted himself between the two wives, apparently intending to conduct separate interrogations.

  "Nothing... uh..." Ling'er's lying characteristics were almost on par with Pinocchio's, her eyes not daring to look directly at the other person, darting around randomly, scratching her nose, pursing her lips and so on.

  Even Lin Yu Ru couldn't bear it anymore and had to push Fang Xian aside, saying: "Why do you ask so many questions? We're all doing this for your own good."

  "Why didn't you tell me for my own good?"

  "Must men always save face? You've said it and now you're too ashamed." Lin Yue Ru said helplessly.

  "...you actually understand this very well..." Fang Xian's face twitched, "Letting a woman give herself airs is even more humiliating, speak up, I can take it."

  "Alas." Lin Yue sighed, "You're being frugal, we as women... friends should naturally help each other save some."

  "Uh-huh." Ling'er nodded repeatedly, "Idle brother wants us to live well and doesn't want us to go out and do things, so we can't be too willful either. Now that money is tight, let's be thrifty for now, and buy new clothes later!"

  "!!!!" Fang Xian's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the two of them, "You! Have actually come to your senses!"

  "Cut, after all these days, can't you see this clearly?" Lin Yue Ru tapped Fang Xian, sneering, "Hey, a man from my Lin family can't be so miserable, even persuading a constable is such a big deal."

  "Who is this man of yours from Lin's family? You are clearly a woman of our Fang family!"

  "It's all the same." Lin Yue Ru pulled Fang Xian and stepped up onto the hotel's stairs.

  "Not going back." Fang Xian waved his hand, "Having a big meal, Ling Er is starving like this."

  Ling'er stuck out her tongue: "It's nothing... skipping a meal won't hurt, and we can save money to eat better next time..."

  "Save money on haircuts." Fang Xian pulled the two wives' arms and walked towards the nearby shopping center, "Come on, I'll take you to eat steak!"

  The restaurant is located on the top floor of a shopping mall. Ling'er and Yuè Rú would look around in wonder every time they went up a level, struggling between their desire to shop and reason.

  It's useless to look on, but can only remain silent. It turns out that every woman has a strong desire to shop, and in the face of this desire, they can directly ignore Liu's 3 million and luxury car. Their willpower is indeed quite firm.

  Obviously, "Western Steak" is a Western restaurant. The lighting design is quite casual and random. Fang Xian also casually chose a corner seat.

  There are fewer people here, more waiters, and it's not yet dinner time, so Fang Xian and others still receive high-end service.

  The young waiter with a buzz cut respectfully presented three menus and brought over three glasses of iced water, then stood to the side waiting for their order.

  "What's all this?" Lin Yue Ru flipped through the Western restaurant menu somewhat bewildered, "Chile something 1990... South Africa something 1995..."

  "This is the name of white wine, miss. If you like red wine or champagne, please turn the page." The crew-cut waiter seemed very polite, but this was actually the attitude of a professional waiter when facing customers who had not seen the world before. At this time, if he showed a "contemptuous look", he would have been fired long ago.

  Ling'er flipped through the menu and didn't understand anything, so she directly asked: "Do you have mozzarella?"

  "......Sorry, none."

  "Do you have bean skin rolls?"

  "......Sorry, none."

  "Udon?"

  "Miss, we only provide dishes on the menu."

  "Three 108 set meals, with two baked seafood salads and one raw beef salad. And for dessert, just one of each. Oh, and a bottle of Casablanca Ruby Red, too."

  The short-haired waiter had just wiped his sweat and fortunately this guy understood, otherwise ordering dishes would have been enough to make him suffer.

  The waiter took the order and asked, "Is Sister Na around?"

  "Are you referring to Manager Mi?" The waiter was taken aback, no wonder, this guy was a regular customer. "Manager Mi hasn't been coming to the store recently, do you need me to give her a call to notify her?"

  "No need, no need, just asking casually."

  After the waiter left, Ling'er and Yuè Rú almost simultaneously asked in a vigilant tone: "Who is Mina?"

  "Two ladies, no need to be so sensitive?"

  "What's going on? Who is it? This name sounds strange."

  "I learned from a sister. She worked for a while and felt unenthusiastic, so she joined a brand and opened this Western restaurant. If you run into her, you don't have to pay the bill haha."

  "Oh, this woman has a strong personality, just like San Niang." Yuer nodded in agreement, she had a kind of admiration for strong-willed women. Looking at Bai Yun again, she scolded, "Who are you like? You even think about not paying the bill after eating!"

  "Who wants to foot the bill? I was just joking." Fang Xian, who had been teased into embarrassment, picked up his glass of iced water and took a sip. "Actually, this meal isn't expensive, it's just over four hundred."

  Lin Yue Ru carefully observed Fang Xian's expression and caught that hint of pain.

  "Isn't four hundred enough? We can get by with just a hundred for that spicy hot pot, come on, we know you're having a tough time, don't pretend to be rich."

  Ling'er also nodded: "Xian Gege, we can bear it. Tomorrow morning I'll just eat a bit more!"

  Facing the comfort of two wives, Fang Xian's heart was suddenly moved and sour.

  In fact, he brought them to the steakhouse not to show off, but to let them try more things, come into contact with more things, climb high and see far, broaden their horizons, otherwise in the future another Liu boss will come, casually take out some gift or food and they will be fooled again.

  There's a Chinese saying - boys are raised in poverty, girls are raised in wealth. It's exactly this principle that you must let women enjoy enough of life, so they won't be easily deceived and can suppress the desires in their hearts when faced with sudden temptations.

  This kind of words would naturally not be said in front of them.

  "Don't worry about the money, just eat and it's fine." Fang Xian was delighted, ever since he had been with these two girls, he had also started to become silly.

  "It can't be said that way." Lin Yue Ru, as a high-aspiring young lady, had a relatively higher perspective on things and carefully advised, "In the past two days, I've roughly understood the hierarchy of this world, which is basically the same as our side. Those in power are first, the wealthy are second, and ordinary people are third, right?"

  "Hmm." Fang Xian could only nod.

  "So you're an official?"

  "No."

  "Do you have money?"

  "Not much."

  "So Idle you're just an ordinary person now, right?"

  "Of course."

  Yuè Rú's thinking became more transparent, as the saying goes, "onlookers see most clearly", when Fāng Xián Lǎo was pondering others, he sometimes couldn't see himself clearly, at this time Yuè Rú was even clearer.

  "On one hand, you're an ordinary person with no power or wealth; on the other hand, you want me and my sister to live a good life, right?"

  "That's right."

  "What should you do then?"

  Work hard.

  "But I've never seen you work!" Yue Ru finally gathered the courage to ask the question in her heart, "To be honest, seeing you spend money so recklessly, I thought you were a prodigal son."

  Ling'er tugged at Yue Ru's sleeve: "Sister, don't say anything more."

  "Say it and say it, men should have ambition!" Yu Ru obviously misunderstood Fang Xian's behavior, and after in-depth contact, she was somewhat dissatisfied. However, her marriage to Fang Xian had already been settled, and she really liked her current husband. If her husband didn't live up to his potential, Lin Xiaojie would help him regain his confidence.

  "Listen to me, cough... Ah-choo." Fang Xian was not annoyed or angry, and habitually spat out a mysterious glob before launching into a long speech. "Firstly, I've been working hard, this week is the annual employee welfare vacation, and last weekend we had seven days off, which I spent with you guys. Secondly, regarding that world's affairs, only the three of us know about it, and as for your world, I must get familiar with it within these seven days, otherwise... never mind. Thirdly, I work very hard, recently solved the company's troubles again, and I believe soon I'll be promoted to assistant manager, at which time all aspects of treatment will improve, and when the year-end bonus comes, I can use that money to take you guys on a trip. This is ordinary people's life - working, earning money, having fun. So what I'm doing now doesn't count as wasting money, seeing you guys happy makes me happy too, I think it's worth it."

  Fang Xian's words were reasonable and touching, Ling Er was completely convinced, nodding her head repeatedly, feeling deeply moved.

  "What is a company? What are promotions and managers?"

  Fang Xian explained: "This... company is like a pawnshop, and promotion is like being promoted from an apprentice to the head of the apprentices."

  Bang.

  Lin Yue Ru slammed her hand on the table, causing all the waiters in the entire restaurant to become flustered.

  "How can the man of our Lin family be willing to be just a mere clerk?!"
