Cosmic Trading System

Along the way, Yan Lee only sought out the less crowded areas to walk through.

As they proceeded, the crowds thinned until they found themselves virtually alone in their surroundings.

Yan Lee looked around in surprise. Where were all the places to eat?

No, there was one.

Wangxian Tower.

At the sight of this restaurant, Yan hesitated, but then set her jaw and walked towards it.

She had been here a few days ago with Zhang Hui.

At that time, Zhang Hui's date had invited them, her closest girlfriends, for a meal here.

Six people, one meal, costing a total of one to two thousand yuan.

A price tag that had left all of them quite stunned.

We'll dine here!

If they ordered less, avoiding the more expensive dishes, it wouldn't cost much; it would serve as a test of the other's sincerity!

Didn't the other party make tens of thousands every month?

So by that logic, the cost of this meal shouldn't be too much for him, right?

If he was reluctant to treat them to dinner here, then she might as well forget about this blind date!

If he was willing to flip for dinner here and didn't skimp on the dishes… then… she'd see!

The thought of Lin Yun pulling a cart to get there caused Yan Lee's heart to twinge.

Her girlfriend Zhang's date had arrived in a car that's worth two to three hundred thousand when he came out to meet them.

There's just no comparison between people.

By now, she had figured it out.

Her aunt had said that his family did vegetable farming and selling, and he should be in town today to sell his greens.

Still, in this day and age, who used carts to transport produce? It was too low-class.

It also suggested that his family must not be well off. Otherwise, why not buy a pickup truck to ferry vegetables or even hire someone to do it?

The thought of her having to cart vegetables with him one day was, frankly, unacceptable…

With these thoughts, she hesitated about going to Wangxian Tower with him.

Even if he was willing to foot the bill this one time, she didn't think she could be with someone like him...

However, by now, she had walked right into Wangxian Tower.

Zhang Hui was already merrily walking inside.

Clearly, it would be a little awkward to leave at this juncture.

Lin Yun had parked the cart.

This type of vehicle was easy enough to park anywhere without worrying about it being stolen.

Yet Lin Yun was at a loss for words.

He didn't expect to end up here again.

This time, they didn't proceed to the fifth floor; instead, they found a quite decent spot on the third floor.

The waitress handed over the menu, and Yan Lee and Zhang Hui started to order their dishes.

During this period, they offered Lin Yun the chance to order.

"I have had my meal. You girls go ahead and order," Lin Yun said with a slight smile.

Hearing Lin Yun's words, Yan Lee shook her head internally again.

What time was it?

Just past eleven!

Most people hadn't even had their meal at this time of the day!

Moreover, considering the time it took for Lin Yun to reach them and the time it took for them to get there, adding up to nearly half an hour, Lin Yun would have set off around eleven!

She didn't believe a word Lin Yun said!

She figured that Lin Yun must be reluctant to dine at such an upscale place, so he made up an excuse.

This led her to become more disappointed in Lin Yun.

Generally, if a person is not stingy and earns money easily, they would be more willing to spend. But if earning money is hard and challenging, they would be more frugal.

With an income of tens of thousands each month...

Either this salary isn't legitimate, or the money was hard-earned.

At that moment, Yan Lee lost all hope in this blind date.

She and Zhang Hui began to order their favorite dishes.

She had already decided, if Lin Yun didn't pay the bill in the end, she would pay it herself.

They ordered five dishes in a row before they stopped.

Then, Yan Lee mentally calculated and found that these five dishes had already exceeded four hundred yuan.

Her heart ached slightly.

The food at Wangxian Tower really was expensive.

It could be compared to some of the upscale restaurants where she worked.

Her monthly salary was just over five thousand, and this meal cost her nearly three days' wages.

Originally, she wanted to order some drinks, but after seeing the total cost, she refrained from doing so.

The cost of drinks at Wangxian Tower was not cheap, simple items were forty or fifty yuan, and some of the luxury ones could even reach one or two hundred yuan. Of course, they didn't need to order any alcohol as they were girls.

"Waiter, we would like to place our order!" Yan Lee looked up and called to a waiter nearby.

"Let me order some more," Lin Yun smiled and said, seeing the two women about to hand the menu to the waiter.

Though he had already eaten, he knew that at a social occasion like this, where he and his dates were not yet familiar with each other, he couldn't just sit there watching them eat.

Even if he wasn't hungry, he needed to accompany them and eat something. Thus, he had to order some dishes as well.

It wouldn't have looked good if he hadn't ordered anything.

He noticed that the two girls had been quite restrained when placing their orders.

Since there were some issues with this blind date on his end, he felt somewhat guilty. He hoped to make it up during the meal. After all, his mother and their aunt were very close. He couldn't afford to leave a bad impression.

"These dishes and these drinks..." Lin Yun quickly skimmed through the menu for dishes and drinks, his hand swiftly marking his choices.

His mental strength was very strong at the moment, whether it was memorizing things or analyzing them, his speed was very fast. Moreover, since he owned a restaurant himself, he knew exactly what to order just by glancing at the menu.

It took Lin Yun only a few seconds to place his order.

In addition to the dishes the girls had ordered, they now had over a dozen dishes in total.

There were cold dishes, hot dishes, soup, specialty dishes, and dim sum.

He also ordered three drinks, each one costing over a hundred yuan.

"Very well." Seeing Lin Yun place his order so quickly, the waitress was slightly surprised, but she quickly nodded, collected the menus, and left.

Lin Yun ordered so fast that, even though Yan Lee and Zhang Hui didn't specifically see what he ordered, they could tell that he had ordered quite a bit, which surprised them.

Particularly Yan Lee, who felt very confused.

Could it be that he wasn't as she initially thought?

With that thought, she began to observe Lin Yun more closely.

Upon closer look, she noticed that not only was Lin Yun very handsome, his clothes were also well matched. Although she didn't recognize the brand, they looked of good quality and didn't seem cheap.

However, first impressions still prevailed, and she didn't believe that Lin Yun was as well off as he seemed.

The main reason was the vegetable cart...

She believed that if Lin Yun's financial situation were better, or his job was a little better, he wouldn't be carting vegetables around for a living.

After all, how much could a cart of vegetables sell for?

If he were making money easily with a high salary, he wouldn't bother doing this kind of work.

The time wasted was worth more than a cart of vegetables.

Perhaps he was being generous because he took a liking to her?

Considering this possibility, she frowned slightly.

This was the most likely explanation she could think of.

It wasn't that she was narcissistic, her appearance indeed attracted lots of attention, even more so than her best friend Zhang Hui, according to many male peers and even herself.

Her best friend had managed to secure such a great partner, which had significantly raised her expectations.

If it had been earlier, she might have considered dating this handsome young man, despite his poor financial situation. But now, she wasn't interested anymore.

At first, he hadn't paid much attention to her looks, and his attitude was casual. But as soon as he noticed her attractiveness, he became enthusiastic. She had experienced this many times before.

With these thoughts, she felt that this possibility was even more likely.

In the end, her impression of Lin Yun didn't change much.

In fact, his inconsistent behavior further worsened Yan Lee's impression of him.
