C3 The Blind Date

"I had originally pegged this host as a nobody, but wow, he's actually quite impressive!"

"He's loaded! I want to be your girlfriend!"

"Hey handsome, are you in the market for a male companion?"

"You're truly exceptional."

Zhao Su's inadvertent display of wealth in his live broadcast revealed to his audience just how affluent he was. With such a formidable background, he wasn't intimidated by any street thug.

After that episode, Zhao Su's popularity on the live stream skyrocketed, netting him over 50,000 new fans in no time.

Zhao Su chose to pocket his phone; he didn't want to be too ostentatious.

He was about to teach the thug a further lesson, but when he turned around, the thug had vanished.

At that moment, a grateful young girl came over to thank Zhao Su. Her face was flushed with emotion, and the image of Zhao Su saving her was deeply imprinted in her mind.

The young beauty, Luo Yuyan, was 18, with a pure and innocent appearance, dressed in a school uniform. Her legs were as smooth as lotus roots, and her long hair was split into two braids draped over her shoulders.

When she struck up a conversation, Zhao Su responded with his usual courtesy. After discovering her name was Luo Yuyan, he was ready to depart.

"This girl is so proactive, and he didn't even invite her for a meal?"

"Lady, I'm smitten with you!"

"He should have kindled some romance with her."

"With his wealth, he's probably grown weary of such advances from girls."

Zhao Su wasn't uninterested; it was just that his mother had sent several texts reminding him to hurry to the restaurant.

He had overstayed and now had to catch a taxi.

Before, with scant savings, Zhao Su would have opted to walk, but now, with two billion yuan in his account, the taxi fare was trivial. Besides, without a taxi, he would definitely be late.

Watching Zhao Su leave in a taxi, Luo Yuyan felt a pang of regret that he had to resort to such a humble vehicle. She resolved to have her father send him a BMW the next day!

She had forgotten to get his phone number, but she knew his name was Zhao Su, and that was a beginning.

Luo Yuyan was steadfast in her determination.

Several men in suits rushed over from a Rolls-Royce that had just parked at the curb. The leader, a middle-aged man sweating profusely, approached her with concern, "Miss, why are you out here by yourself? What if you ran into trouble?"

Luo Yuyan nodded and responded, "I'm alright, Uncle Sunn. Let's go. You can help me look someone up right now."

At that moment, the live stream showed Zhao Su getting into a taxi and pulling up to an unremarkable diner.

"What's he doing? Is he going to eat?"

"He should've gone to have dinner with that beautiful girl!"

The audience in the live stream was utterly baffled.

Zhao Su had just stepped into the diner's lobby when his mother called. "Su, where are you?"

After he told her he was in the lobby, she said, "Alright, hurry up to room 203 on the second floor."

"Why is Zhao Su taking so long? Don't you know how important today's dinner is? My daughter has been waiting for him for five minutes, and he's not here yet. All the other kids have been seated for a while. Cousin, I think you need to learn from Manager Huang!"

Before his mother could finish, a disdainful voice criticized him for being five minutes late. Zhao Su wasn't initially upset, but the sound of his mother being scolded made him angry.

He ended the call and quickly made his way upstairs, now determined.
