Chapter 642: 536, Seizing the Opportunity to Play Dumb and Eat the Tiger (Requesting Monthly Tickets) Chapter 642: 536, Seizing the Opportunity to Play Dumb and Eat the Tiger (Requesting Monthly Tickets) Starlight City.

Yang Hao and Guan Mengmeng went to a restaurant named “Yu Yue” that specialized in grilled fish.

Guan Mengmeng had chosen this place, saying it was delicious.

Yang Hao wasn’t picky about food and left everything to be arranged by Mengmeng, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Once they were seated, Guan Mengmeng skillfully ordered a spicy grilled fish set meal and two drinks.

After the grilled fish was served, she even pulled Yang Hao to take a couple of selfies.

For ordinary people, a young couple dining out was a common occurrence, but for Guan Mengmeng, it was quite a luxury since her boyfriend was always so busy.

Lately, she had seen Yang Hao online more often than in person, so this kind of opportunity was precious to her.

Being a bit of a foodie, Guan Mengmeng’s appetite was wide open; she ate until her mouth was chubby, and her lips were smeared with red soup.

Yang Hao tenderly wiped her mouth with a napkin.

Touched by his gesture, Guan Mengmeng smiled with her eyes forming crescents and thought to herself, “I wish time could stop at this moment forever!”

Just then, a male voice suddenly interrupted, “Mengmeng?”

“Is it really you, Mengmeng!”

The man’s voice was filled with barely concealed delight, especially after he confirmed Guan Mengmeng’s identity.

While basking in the blissful atmosphere, Guan Mengmeng was startled by the sudden voice.

She instinctively turned her head and saw a face that was both familiar and strange.

“You are…”

After brief contemplation, Guan Mengmeng called out the man’s name, “Wang Xu?”

“I thought you wouldn’t recognize me!”

Seeing that Guan Mengmeng recognized him, Wang Xu’s face immediately lit up with a radiant smile.

He glanced at Yang Hao, who was sitting across from Guan Mengmeng, and asked with a smile, “Mengmeng, is this your boyfriend?”

“Hello, Yang Hao.”

Since he was asked about, Yang Hao greeted him proactively.

“Hello, Wang Xu.”

“The leasing manager of Starlight City.”

While introducing his name, Wang Xu also mentioned his position.

As mentioned before, Starlight City is a high-end shopping mall, and being its leasing manager was quite prestigious.

However, what Wang Xu didn’t know was that Yang Hao was actually a shareholder at Xingyue Real Estate.

He held ten percent of Xingyue Real Estate’s shares, and Starlight City was just one of the malls under Xingyue Real Estate.

Even the current CEO of Xingyue Real Estate, Su Xiaoxi, had been personally promoted by Yang Hao.

To him, this leasing manager truly wasn’t notable.

But Yang Hao had encountered many similar situations before, so he just smiled and showed no intention of continuing the topic regarding the other’s position.

“Mengmeng, this is such a coincidence.”

“I didn’t expect that the first classmate I’d meet after returning home would be you.”

Wang Xu then turned his gaze back to Guan Mengmeng; they had been high school classmates.

Back then, Wang Xu had been the class president and came from a well-to-do family.

He had gone abroad for his studies right after graduating from high school.

It seemed he had just returned from studying abroad.

“Yang, if you don’t mind, may I join you for a while?”

Although Wang Xu was asking for Yang Hao’s opinion, he had already started pulling up a chair next to Yang Hao.

“Feel free.”

Yang Hao nodded indifferently, quite curious to see what this guy was up to.

“Then I’ll sit down.”

Wang Xu chuckled and took a seat next to Yang Hao.

However, seeing him make himself so comfortable, Guan Mengmeng frowned.

The private time she had been looking forward to was now disrupted, naturally filling her with frustration, and she even considered asking him to leave directly.

But since he was a high school classmate and their parents knew each other, it wouldn’t be nice to dismiss him directly.

She planned to deal with him briefly and then get him to leave as soon as possible.

“Mengmeng, I heard you became a doctor?”

“You’re following in your father’s footsteps, that’s impressive!”

Wang Xu remarked cheerfully.

“It’s okay.”

Guan Mengmeng replied perfunctorily, somewhat listlessly, as she really wasn’t interested in this long-lost classmate.

However, Wang Xu was clearly very interested in Guan Mengmeng, this beautiful classmate; otherwise, he wouldn’t have approached her on his own.

Seeing that the topic of careers couldn’t be extended and that his old classmate seemed somewhat cold, Wang Xu immediately turned to Yang Hao and asked with a smile, “Yang, where do you work?”

“I run a small business.”

“A sole proprietor?”

“Yes, something like that.”

Yang Hao nodded lightly, aware that the other party didn’t recognize him.@@novelbin@@

Here was his chance to play dumb.

Of course, Yang Hao wasn’t trying to show off; it was the other party who wanted to flaunt his superiority.

Having encountered this kind of situation before, Yang Hao was ready to teach this young fellow a lesson.

“Running your own business is pretty good.”

“I’m just a senior wage earner.”

“However, I’m just here to gain some experience at the grassroots level before I return to the headquarters.”

Wang Xu said on his own.

“A secondment?”

Yang Hao inquired, playing along.

“Yes, I am seconded to Starlight City, and my personnel relations are at the headquarters of Xingyue Real Estate.

You must know about Xingyue Real Estate, right, Yang?”

Wang Xu asked again.

“Yes, I know.”

Yang Hao nodded: “This mall is under Xingyue Real Estate.”

“Exactly.”

“That’s right.”

Wang Xu said with a smile: “I am the leasing manager at Xingyue Real Estate.

Since I am new to the job, I need to familiarize myself with the grassroots situation before being transferred back to the headquarters.”

“Manager Wang, you’re clearly a young talent being groomed by Xingyue Real Estate!”

Yang Hao chimed in.
