Chapter 931: Chapter 932: Popularity Points Are the Urgent Need

Li Changlin had already ordered the dishes, and soon a server brought over the delicacies. Spotting Ye Xiyao, they naturally couldn’t help but request autographs and photos. Ye Xiyao, friendly and approachable as always, happily obliged their modest requests, delighting them immensely.

However, Li Changlin also carefully reminded them to keep Ye Xiyao’s dining here a secret. Naturally, the servers eagerly agreed.

But in a blink, the restaurant’s owner hurried over. The servers weren’t fools; they would hide it from their colleagues, but they had to come clean with the boss.

And wow, these servers really had a future. Watching the nearly forty-year-old boss ask Ye Xiyao for an autograph and a photo, Li Changlin knew those two servers would be climbing the ranks soon. Indeed, experts were hidden amongst the common folk, and everyone had high emotional intelligence!

Once the requests were fulfilled, it was time for the general manager to report. He reached out and produced five platinum name cards, chuckling, "From now on, all your expenses at Huarui will be on the house when you five dine here."

What a generous gesture! Had Li Changlin lived in Shanghai City, he’d probably dine here every day just to prove this guy couldn’t bankrupt him.

Ye Xiyao felt slightly embarrassed, so she chuckled lightly, "Well, I can’t just take advantage of you, Boss Su. From now on, you can promote Huarui as Ye Xiyao’s designated dining location."

There was no helping it; Boss Su really knew how to treat people right. He didn’t just give Ye Xiyao face; he did the same for everyone.

If it had been just for Ye Xiyao alone, she wouldn’t mind and would see it as a fair exchange.

An autograph and a photo were her way of fulfilling the small wishes of the owner, so waiving the bill was nothing out of the ordinary.

But Boss Su knew how to play his cards right, not only giving her free meal cards but even extending this courtesy to Xia Wan’an, whom she had just met. Naturally, Ye Xiyao felt compelled to reciprocate.

Getting such a promise from Ye Xiyao thrilled Boss Su beyond words; that’s exactly what he was hoping for!

Actually, the cuisine at Huarui was really excellent, or else even with gratitude in her heart, Ye Xiyao wouldn’t have made such a promise.

Thus, both parties got what they needed, understanding each other without needing to speak outright.

Boss Su then shared a drink with Li Changlin and tactfully exited the private room.

Soon after, two servers brought in a special Australian lobster dish, another kind gesture from Boss Su, impressing even Li Changlin with his thoughtfulness.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal, and during that time Ye Xiyao and Xia Wan’an chatted a lot.

She even had an account on Endless; Xia Wan’an had heard many times the story of "Youthful as Poetry."

Especially the single album "If the Wine Dries Up for Sale," Xia Wan’an had even purchased the collector’s edition.

Even though she was on opposing sides with Li Changlin at the time, Xia Wan’an was an ardent fan of Ye Xiyao!

The two women were about the same age, and upon talking more, they discovered they were even born in the same month—Ye Xiyao was just five days older than Xia Wan’an.

So, Xia Wan’an took the opportunity to cheekily start calling Ye Xiyao ’Big Sister’.

Ye Xiyao didn’t refuse; instead, she glanced meaningfully at Li Changlin.

Li Changlin was quite sensitive to Xiyao’s expressions.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and a shiver shook him.

Why exactly did Xiyao make that face?

Such a strange feeling, I haven’t done anything wrong to her!

Li Changlin expressed deep confusion, yet he couldn’t voice his questions out loud.

Truly helpless, all he could do was listen to the two women chirping away, with Bai Ziyu occasionally chipping in a few words. Just like Liao Momo, Li Changlin had no choice but to bury his head and silently eat his meal.

Such a miserable feeling, Li Changlin felt truly hurt.

Xi Yao, this third party, had actually snatched his Ye Xiyao away, which was utterly depressing!

After dinner, under the diligent farewells of Boss Su, Li Changlin and his group left the restaurant.

Upon reaching downstairs, they naturally headed towards Rongguo Education.

Fortunately, Rongguo Education’s office building wasn’t far from there. Led by Xia Wan’an, they arrived at Rongguo Education in a mere ten minutes.

It was on the ninth floor of a building. The entire floor was an asset of Rongguo Education, which Xia Rongguo had bought shortly after starting his business. The value of this floor had skyrocketed by more than tenfold.

This point alone showed that Xia Rongguo’s vision was indeed impressive.

If Rongguo Education hadn’t encountered the Jiangnan Huo Family as competitors, they wouldn’t have faced such a crisis.

Upon entering the company, Li Changlin realized that the current situation of Rongguo Education was even more tragic than what Xia Wan’an had described.

Now, including the cleaning staff and Xia Wan’an herself, there weren’t even ten people on the whole floor—a truly tragic scene.

"Big Brother Li, shall we talk in the conference room?" At this time, Xia Wan’an also changed how she addressed Li Changlin. During the meal, she had subtly mentioned Li Changlin’s investment to Ye Xiyao who only responded with a statement that one should trust in Brother Changlin, leaving Xia Wan’an without any doubts.

In truth, it wasn’t really Li Changlin that she trusted, but Ye Xiyao.

As an ardent fan of Ye Xiyao, if Ye Xiyao were to hold a piece of paper and declare Li Changlin could turn it into money, Xia Wan’an would likely not even doubt it.

Regarding her suggestion, Li Changlin thought briefly but chose to refuse, "Let’s find a spot on the balcony to talk instead."

The scene that unfolded at the Sky Horse Records’ conference room was still vivid in his mind. The Jiangnan Huo Family was far more formidable than Duan Jiahao, not just by a level or two.

With such a major force, who knew if they had placed listening devices in Rongguo Education?

Although Li Changlin wasn’t afraid of the Huo Family, he didn’t want the other side to be prepared while his side hadn’t even truly planned things out.

And the real task Li Changlin had to undertake wasn’t as simple as investing a few billion.

To be honest, money wasn’t that important to him now.

What Li Changlin really needed, and only needed, was to quickly upgrade the System’s level.

To upgrade the System level, he would need plenty of experience. However, accumulating experience wasn’t easy, so the idea of exchanging Popularity Points for experience crossed his mind.

But even that, Popularity Points weren’t easy to come by, and now he needed them for even more—for exchanging various items, for lotteries, and now for upgrading the System’s level, all of which naturally increased his pressure.
