Chapter 36
The Colosseum was the largest restaurant in City C, boasting an exquisite five floors from the ground up. The first floor was for the common people and the food there was already very expensive. A single plate would be in the hundreds of dollars. As you went higher in the floors, your pocket wept more and more.
The second and third floors had meals priced between one thousand and five thousand dollars, the fourth floor didn’t have any meals below five thousand dollars. And on the fifth floor, you could not get even a bottle of water without spending at least ten thousand dollars.
Han walked into the restaurant with Rina and Ping and the two girls immediately became self-conscious as many of the people on the first floor were looking at three of them in contempt. They were wearing simple casual clothes of jeans and t-shirts and they didn’t fit well with the suit and gowns many of the people here wore.
Han saw them being uncomfortable and frowned.
“You don’t need to feel inferior to any of them. You are better than them now, so they will just have to accept that”
Rina did not know where her brother got this sort of confidence. Did he steal so much money that he was now a gang lord? She had to get the truth out of him soon!
Han walked up to the receptionist and she looked at him with slight disgust before her face changed to a smile. She couldn’t believe this man thought just anybody could walk in here.
“What can I do for you? If you want a reservation on the first floor you have to wait for another six months. We are heavily booked”
Han brought out a black card from his pocket and the receptionist’s eyes widened once she saw it. This was the continental card that only business owners had!
“I would like a table for three on the fifth floor. Can you do that or do I need to call someone?”
The receptionist paled. She just insulted someone that was not small!
“I-I can do that! I can do that right away! Please just wait a moment!”
Han put his hand in his pocket and smiled at Rina who was looking at the scrambling receptionist in disbelief. Maybe now she would know that she didn’t have to fear anything in this city.
“Your table is ready Mr. Han Luo. Please take the elevator to the top floor and thank you for visiting the Colosseum”
Han nodded to the receptionist before they walked past the stunned guests and into the elevator. On the top floor, a man was waiting for them and he bowed and directed them into a hallway.
“The last floor is not connected to the elevator to prevent people from easily accessing it. I will be your guide to your table”
Han nodded to the man. What a strange policy they had. He could understand that if it was connected then anybody would be able to easily make their way to the top floor and disturb the guest so he didn’t complain much. Such was the life of the rich after all.
“Han Luo?”
Han turned around at the mention of his name to see a woman standing behind him. What was Tan Woo doing here? His high school girlfriend managed to get a reservation here as well? How impressive.
“Han Luo what are you doing here? Are you here to find a job after you lost your last one at H&C advertisements? You should have just come to me and I would have given you one”
Tan Woo couldn’t believe the nerve of this man! Why would he even enter the Colosseum? Did he think people like him deserved to be here? And who were these two girls behind him? Wasn’t that his sister? Did they come here to beg the manager for a job too? This was just too funny.
Han sighed and turned away from Tan Woo. He thought she would have changed even a little from before but she was still the same bitch.
“Han Luo, you dare to look away from me even when I’m trying to help you?”
“Go fuck yourself,”
Tan Woo’s eyes, along with that of every other person in the hall widened when he said this. Han didn’t care about what this bitch had to say to him. He was here to have fun with his sister and dammit he was going to have fun!
“Is this our stop?”
Han looked at their guide with a piercing gaze and the man immediately coughed and turned around.
“Please come with me,”
The three of them walked away from the stunned Tan Woo and she growled in anger. How can this man not even give her any face!? Did he think he was better than her? He did not even have a job in this world and he was acting high and mighty?
She stomped away in anger. She would show him not to mess with her.
The guide led the three guests to a large room that had a magnificent table in the middle. The top floor was divided into these rooms to prevent people from seeing each other while they ate. Rich people enjoyed their privacy more than anything else and this restaurant was the best and stroking the ego of rich people.
“This is your room. A waiter will be over with a menu and your appetizers right away. Is there anything more you need?”
Han shook his head and the man left with a smile. Once he closed the door Rina immediately began questioning Han.
“Han, what is all this? How can you afford all the things here today? You can tell me if you’re in trouble!”
Han laughed.
“Do you not trust your brother at all, Rin? What about you Ping? Do you think I stole the money too?”
Ping blushed and looked away. She did not know what to say to someone like Han. He already helped her once before so for her to doubt him was like a slap to his face. But all this was too much. They did not spend less than two million today!
Han frowned when they didn’t answer him. He couldn’t tell them how he got his money because he still wanted to protect his sister, but he could tell them some things to make her worry less.
“Your Oppa quit his job and tried his luck in trading. I did not steal anybody’s money so you don’t have to worry about me”
Rina looked at her brother suspiciously. What kind of trading can give someone millions in months?
The door to the room opened before she could ask any more questions, but instead of their server, they saw Tan Woo standing there with a smug smile. The waiter was standing behind her and trying to make her leave.
“These are the people that disrespected me! They did not even give you any face for being here with me!”
Gou Young walked into the room much to the horror of the waiter and eyed the three people in the room. He had come here because the REACH representatives were trying to strike a fresh with AeroDynamicity and this woman was the one they sent to meet him. He already knew he wouldn’t take the deal, the company could not trust people who would try to trick their way into an advert. But even if it was only a business meeting, people should still give him face when necessary.
Han’s back was turned to the door so he did not see the person that entered.
“Is it true that you did not show respect to my date earlier? I think you owe her an apology.”
Rina and Ping both glared at the smug face Tao Woo was showing. This woman did not have any shame in her body!
Han stood up.
“Why should we have to apologize? In fact should you not apologize for barging into someone’s room?”
Han turned around and Gou Young’s eyes widened before he smiled happily.
“Oh, it was you, haha. Han Luo, why do we have to meet in this way?”
Tan Woo felt shocked as the two men spoke like they knew each other. How did Han Luo meet the vice president of AeroDynamicity? Did he once work as a janitor there?
Han shook hands with Gou Young and smiled.
“It is my sister’s day to celebrate and I brought her here to enjoy. I did not know that a pest would stop us in the hallway.”
Tan Woo bristled. Pest!? Who was he calling a pest!?
Gou Young laughed and then waved to the two girls behind Han. They both blushed and he smiled. He did not even want to think about starting a problem with this man. HR investment is seven times larger than his company! And this is before they came into the public! If he caused an issue here would he not drown his company before they could fly!?
“I am really sorry for the disturbance. I did not know you were the one here”
Han smiled.
“You are fine. But I think your partner there should apologize to my sister for ruining her mood”
Tan Woo paled before she glared at Rina. Did this man want her to apologize to this wench!? What sort of humiliation did he want to place on her.
Gou Young immediately turned to Tan Woo.
“Apolopgize,”
His voice was cold and it chilled her to the bone. Tan Woo knew that this was not a request but an order. She swallowed her pride forcefully and bowed her head.
“I-I’m sorry for the disturbance. It was my mistake for not recognizing you”
Han turned to his sister and saw that she was too shell-shocked to respond. He smiled and just waved Gou Young away.
“That should be enough. Let us enjoy the rest of your meal”
Gou You immediately excused himself and left the three of them alone again. Rina was still shell-shocked as Han sat down and called the waiter inside. She remembered very vividly how this woman bullied Hans heart when he was in college. This woman was the first person she ever felt jealous of. How can you have her Oppa eating out of your hand like that and then break his heart!
But that same woman just bowed to her. A feeling of pride and superiority surged through Rina and she couldn’t stop the excited blush from creeping up her face as her brother poured her some wine.
“Are you okay, Rina? Your face is red” Ping said in a cheeky tone.
