After my divorce, I became a lucky super-rich person.

Chapter 21: Encountering the Beautiful Shop Manager Again

When Chen Jiang left the company, he saw that Nina was still studying, so he didn't disturb her. He just left a message on his phone and then left on his own.

It was almost noon, and I was starting to feel a little hungry.

Having once been a slave, Chen Jiang's circumstances didn't allow him to have any extra hobbies, so apart from playing games, the only thing that could be considered high-end spending was on food and drink.

If he didn't treat himself to a meal every now and then, he felt he would have become depressed under all the pressure.

So when I was poor, I didn't skimp on food and drink. Now that I have money, of course I can't be careless in this regard either.

He took out his phone and searched online. He quickly found several restaurants with fairly good reviews. Chen Jiang randomly chose one with his eyes closed, and surprisingly, he picked a private chef restaurant.

The prices seem to be quite high; according to online descriptions, the average cost per person at this restaurant is over 2,000 yuan, and demand still exceeds supply.

In the past, such a meal would have made Chen Jiang feel bad for half a month, but now...

"Actually, I still feel a little sorry for her..."

Chen Jiang clicked his tongue in amazement, but still gritted his teeth and booked a spot.

It seems to be really popular, because he was unlucky enough to not be able to book a private room, but only a seat in the main hall.

He knew he had a loser mentality, but he had been a loser for over twenty years. It was unrealistic to suddenly become an elite person as soon as he had money. However, he was adapting to his changed life, and he did need to change his spending habits.

This is not to say that his previous consumption habits were bad. It's just that now that he's a billionaire, he can keep his own ideas from being changed, but at least he should consider those things only after he has eaten and seen them.

If you haven't even experienced it, then it's really a bit idiotic to talk so arrogantly.

......

Before he knew it, Chen Jiang had arrived at the private chef restaurant called "Master Chef".

To be honest, just by looking at the restaurant's name, you can tell that this place definitely has some substance; otherwise, this brand wouldn't last long.

Upon entering the restaurant, the decor was somewhat unexpected. It wasn't particularly opulent or upscale; instead, it was rather understated, with a slightly vintage feel. The restaurant's overall size wasn't very large either, just the size of a typical restaurant.

However, there were indeed quite a few people coming and going, and many of them looked like people of high social standing.

However, most of these people are accompanied by others; it's not common for someone like Chen Jiang to come here to eat alone.

But restaurants are businesses, and customers are customers. There were no major issues. Chen Jiang was led to his reserved seat by the waiter, ordered a few signature dishes, and then picked up his phone to watch newly downloaded short videos on Douyin while waiting.

As Chen Jiang watched the beautiful women dancing on his phone, an idea suddenly popped into his head:

"Sigh...the beauties in these short videos just look so-so after using beauty filters. What if we could get the models in our company to post videos of themselves dancing...would they even be able to survive?"

Speaking of which, video websites and short video apps have become extremely popular in the last year or two.

Chen Jiang wasn't too old, so he naturally followed the trend and joined in, becoming a loyal user.

However, Chen Jiang doesn't dislike Kuaishou, the most popular short video app on the market today, but he doesn't particularly like it either. He watches short videos purely for entertainment, such as watching funny videos or watching beautiful women dance.

However, the software does have some issues with its content, especially in terms of push notifications. Even though Chen Jiang often blocks certain content, he is still disgusted by the sudden appearance of bizarre videos, which often makes him lose his appetite.

So when dy started promoting it this month, he downloaded it as well.

The experience was alright. Compared to Kuaishou, the main difference might be the initial promotional direction, which made Douyin's atmosphere more youthful and the overall experience more comfortable.

As for this idea, although it was just a spur-of-the-moment thought from Chen Jiang, it seemed to have some potential for development. After all, becoming an internet celebrity or live streamer is still a pretty popular option, and it can earn quite a bit of money.

"Hmm, we can discuss it with Xu Ruirui next time we see her."

Touching his chin, Chen Jiang watched the video of the dancing beauty and suddenly realized he was actually thinking about these things. He couldn't help but laugh and said self-deprecatingly:

"It's true that having money makes a difference. Before, I was only thinking about how fair and big she was, but now I'm actually starting to think about whether I can make money from her... How interesting."

Shaking his head, he lost interest in continuing to scroll. He looked up to take a look, but his eyes met those of someone looking around.

The other person was stunned for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on his face. He turned around, grabbed a woman wearing a mask and hat behind him, and walked towards his location.

"Huh? This is... that barber shop owner?"

Chen Jiang recognized the other person's identity because they had left a deep impression on him. Just as he was about to marvel at the coincidence, he saw the two of them walk up to his side.

Chen Yasi, with a smile on her face, took the initiative to greet them:

"What a coincidence, Mr. Chen, you look even more handsome than before! It's only been two days."

Chen Jiang smiled as well:

"That's quite a coincidence, Manager Chen, you're here to eat too."

"Yes, the chef at this restaurant is amazing, the food is top-notch. My best friend finally had some free time, so I thought I'd bring her here for a meal, but we were only a little late and there were no seats left..."

As she spoke, her gaze naturally drifted to the empty seats next to and opposite Chen Jiang, and she asked, feigning confusion:

"By the way, why are you here alone? Are you waiting for someone?"

"I wasn't waiting for anyone, I was all alone."

Chen Jiang was speechless. This woman seemed to be asking a question, but she was about to sit down on her own accord, and she was still pretending.

However, it must be said that people are indeed creatures who judge by appearance. If someone with low looks were to be making a fuss, Chen Jiang would definitely not have a good temper. But the other person was not only beautiful, but her pretentious act, though somewhat affected, was also quite amusing. It was obvious that she was joking, and it didn't make anyone angry.

He shook his head and said helplessly:

"If you don't mind, how about we share a table?"

"Great, that's perfect, we didn't have anywhere to sit." Upon hearing this, Chen Yasi immediately plopped down, pulling her best friend down with her as well. Then, smiling at Chen Jiang, she said generously:

"Thank you so much, Mr. Chen. Otherwise, if we hadn't been able to eat here, she would have definitely accused me of deliberately choosing a time when there were no seats available."

"Don't worry, this meal is on me as a thank you, and also to thank you for coming to my restaurant to support me back then."

"I wasn't supporting you at all. Not only did you give me a free haircut, but you also took a lot of your cosmetics..." Chen Jiang shook his head, not bothering to argue about who paid for the money. Instead, he smiled and said, "By the way, don't call me Mr. Chen anymore. It sounds a bit cold."

You can just call me Chen Jiang.

As he spoke, Chen Jiang turned his curious gaze to the woman next to Chen Yasi, who was wearing a hat and a face mask: "And this beautiful lady... why are you all covered up so tightly?"
