"Ha..." Wei Zhao laughed, opened his boxed meal, and ate quickly...
Zhang Duopan truly had no mind to give Bai Weituo any trouble—he had troubles enough of his own!
After scraping together for ages without managing to collect Cheng Yiyi's performance fee, Zhang Duopan had no choice but to call his old man, Zhang Jufeng.
"Hello? Son, how'd it go—was the show a success? Did you win your little girlfriend's heart? Did you take her to a hotel last night? If she gets pregnant, you tell me straight away—your grandfather is waiting on you to carry on our family line!" Zhang Jufeng was a man obsessed with continuing the family line, a firm believer that of the three unfilial acts, having no heir was the worst. His own father longed for a great-grandson, so the moment Zhang Duopan entered university, Zhang Jufeng had started scheming about it—otherwise he would never have helped his son act the fool and even brought in a celebrity just to chase down a girl!
"Don't even mention it, Dad. Yesterday they brought out Xu Shilan, and I lost outright!" Zhang Duopan smiled bitterly. "Your son's grand plan to woo the girl is going to run aground!"
"What? Then you're just going to give up on that Meiyue girl? Damn it, you little brat, what do you think you're doing? Your grandfather is waiting for you to produce a great-grandson, and now you can't even land a girlfriend—how am I supposed to report back?" Zhang Jufeng fumed. "What the hell did you have to go making a bet for? Now look where it's gotten you!"
"Uh... no, actually, your son turned the whole thing around by his wit and cleverness—that bet is effectively void..." Hearing his father's words, Zhang Duopan thought to himself that this was a golden opportunity: handled well, and the money would come rolling in. So he hastily explained to Zhang Jufeng how he had turned the situation around yesterday.
"Not bad, that's my boy. So it's all square now—what's your next move?" Zhang Jufeng nodded in satisfaction.
"Dad, it's this treating-people-to-dinner thing—I spent quite a bit, and who knew that hotel was such a rip-off? A single cup for five thousand yuan, I swiped my card and didn't even have enough left to pay Cheng Yiyi..." Zhang Duopan said cautiously.
"Oh, Cheng Yiyi's fee I've already settled for you, don't worry about it. You did right to treat them—otherwise you'd never have had the chance to turn things around." Zhang Jufeng did not blame Zhang Duopan. "But your opponent is a cunning one—you'd best be careful!"
"Don't worry, Dad. This weekend I'm planning to take them to the Tiger Park for some fun—that's the one Uncle Su opened in Donghai—and use the chance to build things up with He Meiyue!" Zhang Duopan said. "I'll go with Fan Ganhe and we'll think up some good tricks to make that Bai Weituo look bad and get He Meiyue to look down on him!"
