Chapter 3477 Criticism

Facing the compliments from the girls, Li Menglong didn't look happy at all.

Firstly, they were not sincere, their words were full of hypocrisy; secondly, it was already too late, his expectations had been trampled to pieces by these women.

In this case, what else is there to say? Without any so-called expectations, let’s pursue some realistic questions: “Who do you think can settle the bill?”

After hearing Li Menglong's words, the girls were not surprised at all, and even felt at ease.

One of the reasons why they were so suspicious before was that Li Menglong didn't come up to ask for money.

How can they safely drink something free of charge? If Li Menglong didn't do anything, how could he treat guests generously?

It can only be said that they have formed a certain degree of stereotype towards Li Menglong, but this is not a bad thing.

After all, there are only a handful of times when Li Menglong takes the initiative to treat guests, so they can avoid a lot of risks.

As for the possibility that Li Menglong might be wronged during the process, there is no need to worry about it. Does he look aggrieved now?

Instead, he was mostly happy. After all, he could get money. What was the difference between this and picking up money for nothing on the street?

It's just that the girls are quite familiar with this kind of situation. It's impossible for them to obediently give money. Besides, they don't have any money now.

Unless Li Menglong can accept credit cards, does he have a machine in his hand? Relying on one mouth to swipe the card?

Seemingly realizing this, Li Menglong immediately added: "You can swipe your card downstairs, and I can also give you some fried chicken. How about it? The discount is huge, right?"

Li Menglong gave his own solution, which was to borrow the machine from the fried chicken shop on the first floor.

But doing this is not without risks. After all, you have to deal with the boss's wife beforehand. Not to mention embezzling everything, but there is still no problem in collecting some handling fees.

As for the specific ratio, it will test the relationship between Li Menglong and the proprietress. It should be less than half, right?

Li Menglong wasn't quite sure, but the girls gave him the money, so he could still make a profit if he picked up half of it.

Now the problem is thrown to the girls. If they can't come up with an excuse to shirk the problem, they will really go down with Li Menglong to swipe their cards.

They are naturally quite resistant to this. Why should they pay for the coffee they drink on their own initiative?

Besides, they didn't force Li Menglong to buy it. Everything was done voluntarily. Did he ask their opinions in advance? How would he know if they wanted coffee?

In short, if they can have a few sips, they are giving Li Menglong face, and he must not push himself too far!

It's not appropriate to see girls trying to default on their debts. After all, he is a well-known artist. He must pay attention to his personal ethics, otherwise he will expose the shameless faces of these women!

The interaction between the two parties is a back-and-forth. If there is no external interference, they can talk for a long time. As for the final result, it will probably be nothing.

Whoever advances money first in this kind of thing will be in an absolutely passive situation.

In similar situations, girls were tricked more often. For example, they gave Li Menglong money to buy something, only to have him tell them that the item was out of stock when he came back.

This was nothing, but Li Menglong seemed to have forgotten that they had given him money in advance. No matter how many girls reminded him, he didn't even remember that this happened.

As for the money in his pocket, it was all saved by his hard work. What does it have to do with these women?

Xu Xian was used to this, but there were a bunch of teachers around him, and they looked quite fresh.

By the way, this group of people is quite familiar with the girls, and many of them have been working with them since they debuted.

But just because they are familiar with the girls does not mean that they are also familiar with Li Menglong. Especially when it comes to the interaction between the girls and Li Menglong, they have a dark eye.

Today I finally saw the real side, it turned out to be so interesting.

They seemed to have returned to the state they were in when they first met the artist. Everything they saw was strange. By the way, would they start a fight with Li Menglong soon?

If no one stops it, it is possible.

But Xu Xian will never allow this to happen, especially in front of so many teachers. They don't want to lose face, but Xu Xian wants to lose face!

So Xu Xian started to take action. Her actions pointed to the core problem: "Oppa and I are going down to pay. Let's go now, otherwise the fried chicken restaurant will close soon."

While Xu Xian was talking, he was still pulling Li Menglong's arm, trying to drag him out of the room.

Speaking of which, there was quite a flaw in Xu Xian's words. It was obviously a 24-hour fried chicken restaurant, but she said it would be closed at night.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was not on this, especially Li Menglong. Even though he knew Xu Xian was making excuses, he still chose to cooperate.

"You sisters always ask Xu Xian to pay for everything, how do you feel?" Li Menglong didn't forget to accuse the girls before leaving. Even if it makes them depressed for a second, it would be good. .

But the girls also said plausibly: "We are her sisters, aren't you Xu Xian's elder? Are you embarrassed to ask Xu Xian to pay?"

This can be regarded as fighting fire with fire. Since Li Menglong used his seniority to suppress them, they can naturally fight back. Don't think that he will be disgusting later.

Seeing that the two parties wanted to interact for a while, Xu Xian could only increase his strength silently, and even whispered in Li Menglong's ear: "Oppa, don't be the same as them, leave quickly, please!"

Xu Xian's request was still effective. Even if he was quite unhappy with those women, he still had to sell it to Xu Xian to gain some face.

Not to mention that Xu Xian plans to pay. This is the God of Wealth. How can he be offended so easily?

However, the previous attacks by the girls were still effective. Li Menglong who came out did reflect for a moment. Was it inappropriate for him to ask for Xu Xian's money?

Although he often took pocket money from Xu Xian, it was a normal interaction, and Li Menglong felt at ease with it.

But this time it was different. He was indeed prepared for a treat, and to be precise, the money for the treat was obtained from those women.

If Xu Xian's money was collected again, wouldn't he be suspected of double charging?

After struggling repeatedly, Li Menglong finally grabbed Xu Xian on the stairs: "Otherwise, forget it. How can I collect your money? This time, I'll treat you!"

Xu Xian was a little uncomfortable with Li Menglong's sudden generosity. Are you sure this is sincere? Without any extra reluctance?

Xu Xian should have tested it first, for example, refused first, and then said that he would bear half of the expenses. At this time, if Li Menglong continued to insist, it would show that the other party was sincere.

But Xu Xian knows Li Menglong too well, and she also knows that the human heart cannot withstand temptation.

So it seemed that Li Menglong hadn't finished speaking yet, Xu Xian immediately nodded in agreement, as if she had been waiting for this moment.

This speed really caught Li Menglong off guard. He didn't even manage his expression. He looked at Xu Xian in shock, as if he wanted to see through her soul. The little girl must have been replaced by someone, right?

Xu Xian was in quite a lot of pain at the moment. She had to hold back her smile, but Li Menglong's expression was too funny.

In the end, Xu Xian couldn't hold it back, and the laughter like silver bells kept echoing in the corridor, which meant that there was no one in the company now. Otherwise, during the day, this laughter would have attracted people to watch.

Li Menglong was naturally puzzled at first, and later became even more embarrassed. After all, Xu Xian saw through his heart.

But considering that he had too many embarrassing moments in front of Xu Xian, this small embarrassment is almost not worth mentioning.

Besides, being able to make Xu Xian smile so happily is worth it in itself. Li Menglong should be proud of him.

It’s just that Seohyun smiled a little too long. It would be a bit rude to laugh any more!

In order to take care of Li Menglong's emotions, Xu Xian did restrain himself a lot, but judging from the constant shrugging of his shoulders, the little girl was going to be happy for a while longer.

Although he didn't plan to let Xu Xian pay, Li Menglong still brought Xu Xian to the first floor.

Mainly because Xu Xian is in this state, maybe those women will suspect what he has done to Xu Xian, so it is better to let Xu Xian calm down for a while.

For this reason, Li Menglong specially ordered a glass of ice water, which he didn't pay for. He had given the proprietress coffee before, as a courtesy.

But the landlady doesn't have this kind of consciousness. She only drinks it for Xu Xian. What does it have to do with Li Menglong?

"Whenever you encounter something happy, tell me so that Ernie and I can also be happy for a while. I've always met some bad people in my life recently, hey..."

The landlady sighed and glanced at Li Menglong. This was too much. Who was she hinting at?

If he, Li Menglong, is a bad person, are there any good people in this world?

In any case, he will never take her into consideration. Just think that this old woman has gone through menopause and take care of her emotions.

Xu Xian didn't notice the overt and covert fight between the two people. She couldn't help but want to laugh now, so she just shared it.

It's not that she's afraid that Li Menglong will be embarrassed, but that this incident shouldn't be that funny to outsiders, and she is even a little baffled by it.

In order to calm down completely, Xu Xian decided to make some discomfort for himself, such as actively indicating that he wanted to pay.

The landlady didn't know about the intrigue between the two, so she thought Xu Xian had to pay for the glass of ice water, which was too much. She wasn't Li Menglong, how could she fall into the eyes of money?

"If you mention paying again, I'm going to be angry!"

The landlady said it very naturally, but Li Menglong's face was a little tense. Did she know that she refused a large sum of money, and the key was that the money belonged to him, Li Menglong.

Even if he doesn't intend to ask for it, it shouldn't be the boss's wife who refuses it. At least give him a chance to show his integrity.

It is said that from the beginning when he spent the money, nothing went as planned. Sure enough, he was not suitable to pay. Taking advantage was his comfort zone.

Seeing Li Menglong depressed again, Xu Xian almost laughed again.

She decided not to mention the money again, otherwise she would lose her mouth and would probably be sore all night.

In this case, we need to change the topic, but Xu Xian didn't know what to talk about with these two people for a while. Is there anything in common between the three of them?

Xu Xian can gossip with the boss lady, or talk about work with Li Menglong, but if he wants to chat with both of them at the same time, he can't ask for advice on how to make fried chicken, right?

It's just that things tend to develop in a bad direction, and I don't know who started it. In short, Li Menglong and the landlady are already planning to go to the kitchen and start practicing.

Xu Xian scratched her head and thought about it silently. It seemed that the focus of the dispute was the new fried chicken in the store. The boss lady confidently said that this fried chicken was the result of her dedicated research and innovation, and it would definitely take the store's business to a higher level.

There was nothing wrong with this statement itself, but it annoyed Li Menglong, because the old fried chicken also had his hard work, how could he change it just like that? Why didn't he ask for his opinion in advance?

When these shameless words came out, the boss lady almost overturned the table.

Li Menglong's memory was not a problem, he was deliberately distorting the facts of the past!

The recipe of the fried chicken shop was exclusive to the boss lady from beginning to end. Li Menglong learned the technology at most and provided some improvements in details.

But with such a trivial work, he dared to say that the old fried chicken was all his credit and hard work?

Both of them insisted that they had the dominant position in the matter. As a third party, Xu Xian should have said something fair, but she knew nothing. She didn't know the two people at that time.

However, neither side could provide any decisive evidence, so let's see how good they were.

The two people had to go to the kitchen to compete and see whose fried chicken tasted more classic!

Xu Xian was not very optimistic about this duel from the beginning, because the ingredients were all from the store, and the two people's techniques were inherited from the same source. Was it certain that the finished product would be very different? The kind that could be tasted by outsiders?

And once there was no winner in terms of taste, the final test would be the issue of stance. Those who tasted the food had to choose between Li Menglong and the boss lady.

This choice was quite tricky even for Xu Xian, not to mention the people on the first floor. Who of the two dared to offend?

So while the two were still in the stage of verbal interaction, Xu Xian must have eliminated this competition in the bud, but what should she do?

It would be impossible to persuade them directly, as these two people simply would not listen to others’ opinions.

So more direct means were needed, such as Xu Xian offering herself!

“How about you teach me? Whoever can teach me will be the one with better skills!”

Xu Xian looked at the two people with sincere eyes, trying to make them believe her words, but she herself felt that there was no reason to speak.

Just when Xu Xian was ready to give up, these two people actually agreed, so what was the situation now, was she, Xu Xian, going to learn how to make fried chicken?
