After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune-Chapter 491 445, someone splurged money on Yang Hao! (asking for monthly tickets)
"Mr. Qin" practically had his abacus beads hitting Ye Tingting in the face; it was clear he had his sights set on her best friend.
"Thanks, but no thanks."
Ye Tingting declined decisively, then said to Manager Wang, "So, does your restaurant not operate on a first-come-first-served basis?"
"Even though I made a reservation first, it can still be disregarded!"
"This..."
Manager Wang gave an awkward smile, then shamelessly said, "I'm terribly sorry, I actually received a call from Mr. Qin first, so technically he made the reservation before you did."
"But the staff downstairs didn't know that room 206 had already been reserved, which led to the current situation."
"Here's what we'll do, to apologize, I'll personally give you a 30% discount on your meal today."
"But all the private rooms are full, and you'll have to eat in the main hall on the first floor."
Manager Wang offered his solution, naturally not admitting that he had canceled Ye Tingting's reservation just to curry favor with Mr. Qin.
"Do you think I'm lacking your little discount?"
Rolling her eyes, Ye Tingting pressed on, "You said he called you first to make the reservation, right? Then show me your phone, let's go through the call log and see what time he called."
As she spoke, Ye Tingting took out her own phone, opened up her call history, and showed it, "I called your restaurant 23 minutes ago."
"Come on, let's see your call log!"
"This..."
Manager Wang's brow was twisted like a pretzel. He hadn't expected Ye Tingting to be so insistent on the truth; he had merely made up a convenient excuse on the spot, only to be confronted with a demand to show the call log.
Mr. Qin had indeed called, but that was five minutes ago. He just happened to be in the area and decided on a whim to dine here.
If the call log were to be shown, his lie would instantly fall apart.
As Manager Wang was at a loss for how to respond, that Mr. Qin spoke up again, "Beauty, let's not sweat the small stuff!"
"It's fate that we got the same private room."
"Why don't we dine together and make friends?"
Mr. Qin approached Ye Tingting while speaking and then turned to Zhou Ziqing, saying, "My name is Qin Feng. How may I address you, beautiful? May I add you on WeChat?"
Zhou Ziqing, with her wealth of experience in fending off pick-up attempts, glanced at Qin Feng and gently shook her head: "Sorry, I don't add strangers."
The rejected Qin Feng's eyebrows twitched; he was likely not used to being turned down. Thus, his expression soured slightly.
"Beauty, you can't tell me you don't know our Mr. Qin?"
"Having Mr. Qin actively ask to add you on WeChat is something many women dream of!"
At this moment, the man with light pink hair who was behind Qin Feng stepped forward and, without waiting for Zhou Ziqing to reply, continued, "Beauty, don't you check Kuaiyin?"
"Why don't you open Kuaiyin and search for [Qin Feng] now?"
As Pink Hair spoke, another one of Qin Feng's hangers-on leaned in and added, "Beauty, our Mr. Qin has over six million followers on Kuaiyin!"
"Over six million followers, do you realize what that means?"
"Making a small fortune in minutes!"
Listening to his lackeys' boasts, Qin Feng smiled smugly, but said, "Keep it down, why mention all that?"
Indeed, Qin Feng was a major internet celebrity with 6.3 million followers and his persona was that of the "Super-rich second generation," featuring sketches of rich kids' daily lives on Kuaiyin.
In today's society where materialism is rampant, flaunting wealth on Kuaiyin can actually attract a lot of followers, but such accounts cost a lot to run. With a few years of social media evolution, netizens have developed Fiery Eyes—quick to spot whether someone is truly rich or just pretending, and there have been numerous cases of wealthy personas crashing down!
So, the so-called wealthy kids still active on Kuaiyin today do have some real capital, like Qin Feng.
He indeed had money as his persona suggested, "Super-rich second generation."
However, his real net worth and the rumors online were quite different. Online, he was touted as "Hucheng's number one rich second generation" with a fortune worth tens of billions.
But in reality, he simply inherited a significant "inheritance" left by his father.
His background would not withstand scrutiny; his father was a former high-ranking official who had fallen from grace, and his mother was a has-been actress.
Being an illegitimate child, he took his mother's surname, so unless you knew the inside story, you couldn't connect him to the disgraced official.
He first came into the limelight on Kuaiyin with a wealth-flaunting video, which netted him over fifty thousand followers. After getting a taste for showing off wealth, he started purposefully creating similar videos to market his "Super-rich second generation" persona.
As he got on the platform early and was good at self-promotion, he quickly made a name for himself on Kuaiyin.
He even began to market himself as "Hucheng's number one rich second generation."
Carrying that title, his following grew even faster, and because his videos were of high quality, netizens fully bought into his persona.
With many followers, monetizing became easy, and his fame snowballed.
Qin Feng's persona as "Hucheng's number one rich second generation" became more and more solidified.
