Chapter 249: The Deal

The expressions of astonishment adorned the faces of Liu Yong's companions as they entered the upscale restaurant. While they had mentally prepared themselves for the exorbitant prices, they were still taken aback by the sheer magnitude of it all. The exclamation-worthy cost was beyond their expectations.

"How expensive is everything here?" Liu Yong inquired, his curiosity piqued. He studied the menu, his eyes settling on the shrimp dumplings listed for 38 yuan each. They appeared relatively small in the accompanying picture, bite-sized morsels that could be consumed in a single mouthful.

The realization struck them—everything was too expensive. They observed the other diners engaged in animated conversations, laughter resounding through the air, and marvelled at the presence of numerous affluent individuals in the bustling city of Huahai.
