Chapter 39 What Happened at the Dinner Table

Although Li Heng had asked Lin Yi to reduce the popularity of Tony's video through technical means, facing so many people, it was the first time they saw someone acknowledge that he was a superhero, so the individual worship in their hearts was completely aroused.

Now, not only New York, but the entire United States and even the world began to pay attention to Tony's every word and action, which directly led to a surge in the number of short video users during this period.

Lin Yi spent a lot of money and rented more servers, which were able to barely handle such a large amount of traffic and allow them to watch videos without any lag.

After doing all this, Lin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He finally had time to sit in a chair and drink some water, and then told Li Heng about this matter.

At this time, Li Heng was following Tony to a three-star Michelin restaurant to prepare for dinner.

Halfway through the journey, he received a call from Lin Yi. He learned what had happened from the phone. Li Heng praised Lin Yi for a while, saying that he was not wrong about him and that Lin Yi did a very good job.

Li Heng originally wanted to invite Lin Yi to dinner, but then he thought, since Tony was the one treating, it would not be appropriate for him to invite other people to be the main guest, so he just said to Lin Yi:

"Wait for me to come back, and I'll treat you and me to a drink."

"It's settled then. I'm waiting for it!" Lin Yi said.

When they arrived at the Michelin restaurant, Tony walked straight in with a few people, then called a waiter and asked him to take everyone to the reserved table.

It was then that everyone realized that Tony had asked Jarvis to reserve a seat for him when he was about to leave.

"There are so many people eating at this restaurant that you usually need to make a reservation a week in advance, so I made an appointment in advance to avoid finding that there are no empty seats when we arrive."

After hearing what Tony said, Ethan was a little confused:

"Tony, didn't you say you wanted to make an appointment a week in advance? How come you were able to make an appointment right away? And so quickly?"

"Puch~"

Well, Li Heng admitted that he would not laugh unless he could not help himself. Unless something was really funny, Li Heng would laugh out loud. But now Ethan's words made Li Heng unable to help himself and laughed out loud.

Ethan's question really sounded too much like a mockery of Tony!

Sure enough, Tony didn't know whether to answer Ethan's question. It was not until several people sat down at the table that Tony said:

"Because I am a big customer here and I come here often, I can ask them to reserve a seat for me for a long time. I just need to tell them before I come."

Tony stared at Ethan as he explained. Li Heng guessed that if Ethan hadn't been his savior, Tony would have probably punched Ethan in the face.

Ethan seemed to finally realize from Tony's reaction that he must have said something wrong, but he didn't know what exactly he said wrong, so he was a little confused.

Just then Pepper had to go to the bathroom, so she stood up and left.

At this time, Li Heng continued:

"Well, this way Ethan and I can find out why you're so 'fast'!"

When Li Henggu emphasized his tone once more, Ethan finally understood the reason and hurriedly explained:

"Oh, Tony, you know, I didn't mean you were fast, oh, no, I meant you weren't fast, uh, that's not right either..."

Ethan hurried to explain, but the more anxious he became, the more incoherent his words became. Just when Li Heng saw that Tony was so angry that he was helpless and even speechless, he quickly said:

"Okay, okay, Ethan, you don't have to explain. We all know what you mean. Tony, don't be angry. Order the food quickly. I'm so hungry that I can't wait."

Just at this time, Pepper came back, so the three of them tacitly changed the topic and prepared to order food.

Soon, the dishes and wine that everyone ordered were served one by one. At this time, Tony raised his glass and said:

"I think you all know the reason why I treat you to dinner. It's to celebrate Iron Man, which is the day when I officially become a superhero. Everyone must drink a lot today. Well, I won't leave until I've had enough anyway."

As he was speaking, Tony's last words became very quiet. Li Heng felt that he was the only one who heard it. Li Heng did not expect that Tony liked drinking so much. It seemed that he did not see it in the movie.

However, Tony's reaction also made Li Heng feel that he was more real, rather than just a character in the movie, and changed Li Heng's perception of Tony.

Just as Pepper began to ask Tony what his last sentence was, and Tony was trying to evade the question, Li Heng raised his glass and said:

"Then let's have a drink together."

Ethan and Pepper also raised their glasses and clinked them with Tony. After drinking, Li Heng started to eat actively because he was really hungry.

In his previous life, Li Heng had never had the chance to dine at a three-star Michelin restaurant. Now that he has the chance, he must try it and see how it tastes.

Twenty minutes later, a strange scene appeared at their table. A young boy was eating his meal with his head down, completely oblivious to what was happening outside.

Tony, who was drunk from drinking too much, insisted on talking to Ethan about the "good ideas and new technologies" he thought of after getting drunk. In fact, most of them were technologies that were difficult to realize in recent years.

Ethan, who was pulled to be the audience, was very rigorous. He asked the waiter to bring him a pen and paper and wrote down everything Tony said.

The person standing next to him looked at the three people's performance and felt too embarrassed to face anyone. He covered his face with his hands and moved back, just wanting to hide himself from being seen.

Originally, the people nearby wanted to send all of them home, but Li Heng said that he had not finished his meal yet, Tony was drunk and acting crazy, and Ethan was taking notes seriously, so there was nothing they could do, so they could only leave them like that.

The scene at their table attracted the attention of other people nearby. Some of them knew Tony's identity as Iron Man, so they kept turning their heads to see if there was anything different about Tony.

Some of them were because Lee Heng ate too much. Compared to the amount of food they ate at three-star Michelin restaurants, Lee Heng was obviously the example of someone who ate a lot.

But in fact, Li Heng felt that each dish tasted good, but the portion was too small and he could not feel full at all.

So he ate more than ten or nearly twenty dishes. You know, at Li Heng's age, the old man would always cook two bowls of rice for him. How could he be full with just a few dishes of such small portions?

Finally, after enduring the time arduously until he began to feel a little numb, Li Heng finally put down his cutlery and wiped his mouth to indicate that he had finished eating.

"Thank God, Lee, you finally finished eating. Come on, let's take Tony and Ethan back."
