Arthur was one of the most handsome boys in the school during his college years. He and the school beauty Julia Harrison were a handsome couple. But Arthur's family had no money, so Julia dumped him and hooked up with a rich man.
Seeing Arthur's expression change, Julia thought that her words had touched his heart, and she was even more contemptuous and disdainful. "Arthur, please don't embarrass yourself here. You don't come to this kind of restaurant if you don't have money to back it up."
The old man beside Julia turned his head and said a few words to Julia. After figuring out Arthur's identity, he narrowed his eyes and said. "Young man, don't worry. It is understandable that people make mistakes sometimes. I will pay for your meal this time as a big brother's gesture."
Arthur ignored him and looked at the waiter who looked hesitant. He slowed down his tone and said, "Well, since you are worried, I'll pay for the food first."
Arthur was a handsome guy. At this moment, he spoke to the waiter in a gentle voice, successfully making the waiter's face slightly blush.
"Young lady, I will pay for him." Before Arthur took out his bank card, the old man interrupted and said. He took out his bank card and casually asked about the total amount of Arthur's order: "How much is his bill?"
The waiter glanced at the ordered menu: "A total of fifty eight thousand and five hundred."
"How much?" The bank card in the old man's hand fell directly to the ground. He looked at Arthur in disbelief. He didn't expect that he actually ordered dishes worth over fifty thousand dollar.
Normally, when he and Julia came to this restaurant, they would spend at most twenty thousands dollar on food. He thought that a poor boy like Arthur would only be able to order food worth 1,000 dollar at most.
"Fifty-eight thousand five hundred." The waiter looked at the menu carefully and quoted the price confidently.
"What?..." The old man's face turned pale. He swiped his bank card on the machine and found that the balance on the card was only 50,000 dollar, which made him even more panicky.
All the customers in the restaurant were staring at their side curiously, wanting to see what would happen next.
The old man wanted to save face and swipe all the money from his other cards, but Julia felt distressed when she thought that the money was supposed to be spent on her. So she stood up and asked Arthur. "Why did you order so many dishes if you couldn't pay for them?"
As soon as Julia stood up, Arthur realized that she was wearing a miniskirt that couldn't be any shorter, with black stockings underneath, which made her legs look slender and seductive.
Moving his gaze to Julia's face, Arthur smiled but did not comment.
Seeing Arthur's smile, her heart was moved again. But she quickly came to her senses and began to rebuke him. "Are you trying to woo me back or what? I'm telling you, Arthur, I have nothing to do with you anymore. I've told you that you can't give me the life I want. Please don't try anything with me."
Thinking that Arthur had found a job as an ordinary programmer, Julia looked down on him even more. What was the point of being handsome without money? Could he compare to a boss who wws willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars on her every month?
Julia calmed herself down, ignored the slight regret in her heart, and continued to look at Arthur arrogantly.
Under the condemning gazes of Julia and the old man, Arthur stood up with a relaxed look: "When did I ever say that I wanted you to pay for me?"
As he spoke, he quickly walked to the waiter and swiped the bank card in his hand directly on the POS machine.
Looking at the platinum card, the waiter's mouth opened in surprise and did not close for a long time.
As for Julia, she just stood there in a daze. ...When did this poor boy Arthur become so rich?
Thinking about how Arthur had 100 dollar but had to spend 80 dollar on her when he was in college, Julia felt a rare surge of regret. She wanted to go forward and hold Arthur, but Arthur had already returned to his seat.
"Can you serve me the food now?" He smiled helplessly.
The waiter reacted and quickly ordered the kitchen to serve the food, and before long, plates of delicious food were flowing onto the table.
Just as he was about to devour his steak, he felt his phone vibrate twice.
Arthur unlocked his phone and found that the person who sent him the message was Williams. "Hey Arthur, boss said he would deduct from your salary for leaving work without his approval. You're on your own."
Just as Arthur was looking at his phone, the old man could no longer stay in the restaurant. He impatiently pulled Julia out of the restaurant.
When Arthur was replying to the message, he suddenly smelled a strong scent of perfume beside him. He raised his head and saw Julia's graceful back as she left. From his angle, he could even vaguely see Julia's panties under her short skirt.
He looked away, only to find that a small piece of paper on his table with a phone numbers written on it. There was also a smiling cat face pattern below, which was Julia’s favorite expression when she was in college.
Arthur stared at the note calmly for a while, then tore it into pieces and threw it into the trash can.
While eating his food, Arthur opened the Fortune Engine interface again and looked at other rewards curiously.
Seeing that there was a miniature building as a reward below, Arthur wanted to try to hook it with the hook, but when he pressed the space bar, a prompt popped up in the center of the screen.
[You can only use the hook once a day]
Arthur smiled bitterly. Of course, he understood that he had been given a great opportunity, and it was normal to have some limitations. So, he closed the interface and wanted to pack up the remaining food for a midnight snack.
When Arthur suggested taking the food away, the waitress stood there in shock. She had seen all kinds of customers, but this was the first time she saw someone asking for the leftovers to be packed as take-away orders.
Facing the waiter's incredulous gaze, Arthur spread his hands and said, "Even if you have money, you can't waste food."
After leaving the restaurant, Arthur had just crossed the road when he heard a cry for help from the front. "Help, help!""
Hearing someone shouting for help, Arthur quickly raised his head, and looked at the direction.A girl was being hugged by a man. Her pretty face was filled with panic and confusion. She kept shaking her head and saying. "I don't know him."The man holding the girl looked like a ferocious thug. He glared at the onlookers fiercely and said. "She's my wife. We are having an argument. Go away, or do you want to get beaten?"Some people who wanted to help the girl took two steps back in fear when they saw the man's wolf-like eyes.Seeing the girl being pulled into the van, Arthur felt something was wrong, so he stepped forward to stop the man: "Hey, leave her alone. If she doesn't want to go with you, why are you forcing her?""Mind your own business." The man looked at Arthur warily and hugged the girl's neck even tighter. "This is between husband and wife, why do you have to.get involved?"The girl had been desperate, but when she saw Arthur coming to help, hope reappeared in her eyes,
When Arthur opened the door, the landlady appeared stoic in front of him. It was clearly her who would knock on the door this late in the night, but when she saw Arthur open the door, she became unhappy. "Why are you leaving the lights on in the middle of the night, don't you electricity cost money?"If it was before, Arthur might have tolerated it and kept quiet, but now he directly hit back. "I pay for my electricity myself, it has nothing to do with you. Anyway, why are you disturbing me in the middle of the night, Mrs. Robinson?"The landlady was already used to Arthur's timidity, and now that she was scolded, she was stunned for a moment. But she quickly came to her senses and replied. "Oh, you're mouthy now. Okay, I'm here to collect my rent. If you don't pay, I won't let you live here anymore.""The rent is not due till tomorrow, why do you want to collect it today?" Arthur was angry. "Why are you trying to embarrass me this night, Mrs. Robinson?"The landlady sneered, her smal
After George finished speaking, he looked Arthur up and down again and asked. "Why are you even in slippers?"After George asked that, everyone noticed that Arthur was wearing a pair of Gucci slippers.George was already angry because of how Arthur left the office without permission yesterday, and now that Arthur seemed to be in trouble, Williams interjected on behalf of Arthur. "Boss, you know Arthur is not like that."At this moment, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from the corner of the office. "Well, if he acted the way he did, wasn't he asking for trouble? If he hadn't left during working hours yesterday, why would Mr. Maddison have to trouble him?""Nobody asked you, Michelle." Williams's voice became much harsher. He still had some prestige in the department as a senior supervisor. Michelle curled her lips and stopped talking. She took out a mirror and started to touch up her makeup for the ninth time."I'm fine, Will. Thanks." Arthur patted Williams's shoulder with a relaxed
"What the hell? He's andsome and rich?""Oh my goodness, life is really not fair."They thought Arthur was just another Internet celebrity who lined up to take photos with the car, but it turned out that he was the owner of the car. Everyone present was bewildered beyond words.There were even a few Internet celebrities approaching Arthur and flirting with him. "Hello handsome, are you in need of a girlfriend? I'm available."Arthur took a step back and looked at Williams helplessly. "Hey Will, can you help me put the things in the trunk.""Oh, of course." Williams came back to his senses after being called by Arthur. He nodded mechanically and helped him to carry the items to the back of the sports car."The trunk is on the side." Arthur hurriedly reminded Williams.Williams followed Arthur and put the luggage into the trunk. Then he came to his senses and gave Arthur a thumbs up. "Arthur, you are really a guy who hides his true colors. You usually keep quiet, but now you own a sport
It was Sharon Stewart’s voice.Arthur quickly asked about the situation. "Sharon, where are you, what's wrong?""I..." Sharon gritted her teeth and answered. "I'm inside the teaching building of Maroon University. Arthur, I really can't find anyone to help me. Can you come and save me..."Arthur knew that Sharon was not a girl who would bother others easily, so after hearing her faint crying voice, he jumped off the bed without hesitation and grabbed the Pagani car keys. "Okay, I'm on my way. Just hold on."After saying that, he quickly went downstairs, rushed into the Pagani sports car, started the engine, and the roar of the car resounded through the sky.He turned on the hands-free mode of his mobile phone and placed it on the passenger seat, occasionally speaking to Sharon to exchange information.After Sharon's intermittent description, Arthur figured out the whole thing.Sharon was a campus beauty at the university. There were many people pursuing her, but she had no intention o
Hearing Arthur's words, Sharon's beautiful eyes sparkled brightly. "Are you sure my presence won't disturb...?""No, it's okay." Arthur shook his head. "They are just work colleagues, so you don't have to get acquainted to them. Just enjoy yourself.""Okay then." Sharon nodded quickly. "Thank you, Arthur."After confirming where Sharon was going to join them for dinner, Arthur suddenly looked her up and down for a long time, then suddenly turned the steering wheel and drove the fiery red sports car straight to the nearby shopping mall.When the car stopped at the entrance of the shopping mall, Sharon followed Arthur out of the car in a daze: "Are you here to buy something?""Yeah." Arthur locked the car casually, and then walked into the mall calmly under the gaze of the security guards.Sharon thought she was just a little helper who was accompanying him to carry his shopping bags. But when she found that Arthur took her into a light luxury women's clothing store, she was stunned.Ar
"That's great, it makes you look twice before trampling on poor guys like us!""This guy is not a poor boy, but a low-key rich second generation.""Imagine, a low-key handsome, rich, and gentle guy. I also want a rich second generation like him.""You have to be as pretty as that girl to have a chance, wake up.""Haha, they just made a joke and pretended to be rich, and you all fell for it."There were all kinds of comments under the posted video. Then the boy who recorded the video, posted a comment."I can guarantee that all of this really happened. Guys, please take a look at the angle I shot from. If this was a movie, would I have to hide in the corner and take a sneak shot?"After he made this comment, the video's popularity skyrocketed, and soon it became a popular video on different sites.Arthur had no idea what was happening on the Internet. At the time, he was choosing clothes for himself. After buying them, he and Sharon left the mall and got back into the Pagani."Arthur,
"Arthur, where do you think you're going?" Just as Arthur was about to step outside the office, George Holloway, the manager of the project development department, came out and asked angrily."Just want to clear my head, Boss." Arthur replied, trying to sooth his forehead with his hand. He had been thinking about the medical bill he received from the hospital where his father was admitted. "Clear your head? How many times do I have to tell you that this is a critical moment for the company's development?""I understand, Boss." Arthur clenched his fists, suppressed his anger, and answered with a fake smile."I don't think you do, Arthur. If you do, you won't be slacking off at this time." George said and patted him on the back with a bitter smile. "I know you've been putting in extra work these past few months, but I have higher expectations for you. You can do better than this, Arthur. So, for your own sake, don't let me down.""Yes, Boss. I won't let you down." Arthur sneered in his
