Chapter 976: Chapter 408: Chen Yan: Never Thought That I, the Great Chen Baiwan, Would Follow a Cat for Free Food and Drinks! [Subscription Request]_2

Chen Yan handed the plate of beef to Ren Jie:

"Try it, I promise the taste will blow your mind."

Ren Jie frowned. He was really resistant to eating raw meat and stuff, but his girlfriend was handing it over in front of her relatives. If he didn’t eat it...

Forget it, just pretend I caught two more pickpockets.

He stirred the plate with a spoon, letting the egg yolk completely coat the beef, then scooped up a spoonful and shoved it into his mouth with the look of a man marching to his death.

Before he took a bite, he’d imagined a thousand different flavors.

Convinced his girlfriend was tricking him into eating some kind of dark cuisine.

But once it was in his mouth, there really was this fresh, clean taste. The flavor of raw meat was there, but not strong.

The egg yolk had no fishy smell at all, and instead boosted the beef’s tender, juicy texture.

This...

is actually not bad.

Chen Yan poked a piece of shrimp salad with a fork, tasted it, then nodded and said:

"This salad’s good too... By the way, what are they doing making so much food? You guys ordered a car here... no, even if you ordered a car you wouldn’t get this kind of treatment."

Shen Baobao pointed at Dundun, who was squatting on top of the car in the center of the hall:

"These brands found that the longer Dundun stays in the showroom, the more people he pulls in, so they rack their brains to keep him around. And the way to keep him, of course, is to suck up to us parents."

Chen Yan glanced at Dundun in surprise.

Oh my god!

She never thought the great Chen Baiwan would one day be following a cat around just to freeload food and drinks.

But this feeling is actually... pretty awesome!

Back then Chen Yan never understood why the rich second generation always had a few freeloaders hanging around. Now, seeing a whole table of delicacies laid out for her people to eat at will, she finally understood how comfortable freeloading really was.

She sampled everything on the table, then asked:

"Which brand’s hall is next? I’ll go scout it out in advance."

Shen Guofu gave his niece a helpless look. Her boyfriend was standing right there, could she not be a bit more reserved?

He said:

"Don’t bother looking. Next up is Bentley. They bought food from the Western restaurant at Jirui Hotel. They’re probably craning their necks waiting for us right now..."

They came to see a car show and somehow turned it into a food expo.

They’d originally said they’d walk more to lose some weight. Looking at it now, they’d probably gain a kilo.

When Lin Xu was almost done eating, he picked up Shen Baobao’s camera and took some shots of Dundun being surrounded by people.

As he was shooting, maybe because there were too many people and the temperature had gone up, the little guy got a bit irritable.

Lin Xu helped him take off his clothes, leaving only the wine-red bow tie around his neck.

Without the restriction of the outfit, Dundun threw himself back into the shoot.

When the car model next to him lifted her skirt hem to show off her long legs, the tiny little guy lay on the hood and did his best to stretch out his hind legs too, like he was trying to compete.

Everyone around was laughing so hard they nearly doubled over. The leggy model was laughing like crazy too; she’d never seen such an adorable little cat.

By the time they’d made a circuit of the show halls, it was already around three in the afternoon.

The freeloading brigade had gained a few more members: Zeng Xiaoqi, who rushed over after hearing the news; Dou Wenjing, who came to join the fun; Geng Lele, here to cheer for the Holy Master; and the couple Brother Qiang and Qi Panpan, who were here to taste five-star Western food.

Even a few of Qi Panpan’s roommates tagged along.

All the cars here were imported luxury models. Even at regular price, each one had hundreds of thousands in profit, not to mention over half of them required extra markup.

So the brands were all very generous, constantly asking if they needed anything else, and telling the hotel to send it over.

As long as they could keep Dundun around a bit longer, what were a few snacks?

"Watching all this great food laid out in front of me but not being able to take another bite, this is pure torture."

Director Zeng rubbed her stomach with a sigh.

With everything she’d just scarfed down while freeloading, this week’s yoga had basically gone down the drain.

But the feeling of stuffing herself was so good.

There was definitely a degenerate kind of guilt, but also so much joy!

Over at the car show management center, Li Shiqiang stared at the report with delight all over his face:

"What? Bentley just sold three Mulsannes? That’s amazing. Go find Boss Lin to talk... no, I’ll go myself. No matter what, we have to keep Dundun here until the show ends."

A channel partner who’d come by for tea asked curiously:

"It’s just a cat, is it really worth all that?"

Li Shiqiang said unhappily:

"What ’just a cat’? That’s the God of Wealth, okay?"

Whether it was because this event’s planning was creative, or the promotion was on point, as long as the sales stayed this high while Dundun was around, they were going to keep it that way.

If you’re a businessman who doesn’t believe in a little mysticism, how are you supposed to succeed?

When he came out, Dundun was done playing and was nestled in Lin Xu’s arms.

Yup, the little guy had already forgiven Dad for carrying him off the stage, because he had a livestream tonight, and he could meow meow meow to his fans as much as he wanted.

"Mr. Lin, I’m Li Shiqiang, the general manager of this car show. Could we talk for a moment?"

Lin Xu instantly understood what this was about.

He smiled and pointed at Chen Yan next to him:

"This is our President Chen, also Dundun’s agent. If you have any business, Mr. Li, please talk to President Chen. From now on, she’ll be fully in charge of Dundun’s commercial activities."

When Chen Yan heard that, she let out a quiet sigh in her heart.

So every bite of free food really did come with strings attached.

Still, being Dundun’s agent wasn’t bad at all. If he ever misbehaved, Auntie would just sign him up for some swimming pool opening events and have him perform ten-meter platform dives.

She gave Dundun a smug look, then turned to Li Shiqiang and said:

"Mr. Li, you’re hoping we can have Dundun come again tomorrow and the day after, right?"
