The Black Card Chapter 86 - Three Details

Chapter 86 - Three Details 

Translator: Lav

Editor: Levs

s.h.i.+ Lei stared at Wei Qing from the back and an inexpressible feeling rose up.  

It was an intriguing feeling. 

He never knew Wei Qing and in terms of his normal life track, he would never have any more intersections with Wei Qing. Their short friends.h.i.+p was only because s.h.i.+ Lei used his millionaire card and after today, s.h.i.+ Lei would return to his ordinary life, Wei Qing would also return to his, and they would have nothing to do with each other again. 

Or taking a step back, if they ever come in contact again, it would probably be under the situation that he uses his millionaire card again. Wei Qing would never become his real friend as his memories will be wiped out and he definitely won’t remember the existence of s.h.i.+ Lei.  

s.h.i.+ Lei also thought that it didn’t matter how perfect the Black Card could wipe out people’s memories, it was unlikely for it to use on the same person twice. The more it used the same person or thing, the more mistakes it could potentially make. Dark technology like the Black Card, not to mention that technology is rather advanced in this era, the Black Card wouldn’t want to risk it. 

But even so, s.h.i.+ Lei felt like he would meet Wei Qing again in his life, the feeling was so strong that he even thought that they would become good friends. s.h.i.+ Lei always had the feeling that he could see the future on Wei Qing. 

Wei Qing’s actions also doubted s.h.i.+ Lei. Thi led s.h.i.+ Lei to think that Wei Qing’s memories may not be wiped after all, and he only partic.i.p.ated as someone who knew what was going on. Otherwise, why would he take care of him so much? If it was only a mission given by the Black Card, and it had to be done under the condition that his memories was in disorder, then Wei Qing should just finish his mission and he did not have to pay so much attention to the little details.

This detail was not the first time. 

He purposely allowed more time for Wu Haoyuan to become more ignorant, and this was the first detail. 

This detail would be somewhat explained as a rich fuerdai’s mischief. But next to the lake, Wei Qing intentionally asked s.h.i.+ Lei if it was ok to do it, and he warned s.h.i.+ Lei subtly. If Wu Haoyuan really came to the mansion, then he should stop hara.s.sing him. With Wei Qing’s status and ident.i.ty, a small character like Wu Haoyuan was nothing in his eyes, then Wei Qing definitely did not do it out of pity as s.h.i.+ Lei could even see the disgust in his eyes. 

Wei Qing did it for the sake of s.h.i.+ Lei. 

This detail already made s.h.i.+ Lei increase his doubts. 

After they got there, Wei Qing also urged s.h.i.+ Lei to not go crazy with the others. Although it seemed unintentional, but it was another detail that shouldn’t have appeared for the third time. 

Sun Yiyi was naive and as she gazed at the enormous mansion, her heart was left with nothing but immense shock, so much that she didn’t even think carefully about how it was possible for s.h.i.+ Lei as an ordinary person to make friends with someone like Wei Qing. 

Intimidated by the mansion, Sun Yiyi was too scared to take another step forward. She could only hold onto s.h.i.+ Lei’s arms tightly and stay next to him in order to feel slightly calmer. 

s.h.i.+ Lei felt the pressure on his arms as Sun Yiyi grabbed him rather tightly, he snapped back to reality and smiled to her: “Let’s go. It must be lively today, Don’t be afraid. Remember that you are the mistress of the house today.”

Sun Yiyi raised her head and looked into s.h.i.+ Lei’s eyes as if he gave her immense strength and courage. 

She nodded. She began to realise that although she had not seen him for a year, and they were still in touch two years before that, but in such a short period of time, the s.h.i.+tou ge in her memory had changed so much. 

He became better, more outstanding, and much calmer. 

In any case, s.h.i.+ Lei had become someone who she could rely on, but it gave her more pressure at the same time as she thought she was not enough for him. 

After they went in, a middle-aged woman in a black suit greeted s.h.i.+ Lei and whispered: “h.e.l.lo, s.h.i.+ Shao. I’m the manager of the kitchen today. My name is Dai Qian. If you are have any complaints about the food or drinks, feel free to tell me anytime. May I organize the chefs to bring out the dishes now?” 

s.h.i.+ Lei nodded and said: “h.e.l.lo, manager Dai. Please begin, the rest will arrive in fifteen minutes or so.” 

Dai Qian pushed her black gla.s.ses up her nose bridge and through the lens’ reflection, s.h.i.+ Lei could tell that those gla.s.ses did not have prescriptions. He didn’t understand why Dai Qian would wear that, but perhaps it was because she wanted to seem more steady. 

“Okay, I will go now. Also, there are only two types of wine today. The first type is from Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, which are all new. The other type if a 1996 Romanee Conti, but there are three bottles. With s.h.i.+ Shao’s scale of this party, everyone will have approximately one gla.s.s each. Before s.h.i.+ Shao arrived, I had given bottles of Lafitte to be opened already. The time it takes to dispel the effects of alcohol is about thirty minutes, and fifteen minutes from now should be the best time to drink. I recommend that we open the three bottles of Conti half way through the party. Just tell me and I will open it in front of everyone. The time for the effects of that wine to be dispelled takes more than two hours, so if you just remember it at the end of the party, I’m afraid it would impact the taste of the wine.” 

s.h.i.+ Lei remembered this and smiled: “Thank you for the hard work.”

Dai Qian also smiled professionally as she said: “This is part of my job. Then, s.h.i.+ Shao, I will go and organise things in the kitchen now.” 

Dai Qian didn’t bow and leave until s.h.i.+ Lei nodded. s.h.i.+ Lei sighed at her perfect professional manners as she did not make s.h.i.+ Lei feel that she was overly enthusiastic. 

Because they were cold dishes, the kitchen had already prepared them a while ago. After Dai Qian’s order, the chefs with top hats came out with delicate dishes one after another.  

Not to mention that there were lobsters and abalones, but there were more smaller things, such as caviar, truffle, goose liver, blue cheese and more, and they were things which s.h.i.+ Lei couldn’t even recognise. 

The others did not overthink it, including Sun Yiyi as she did not know a small dish of truffle could cost more than 10,000 yuan, and a little bottle of caviar could cost more than 100,000 yuan. Only s.h.i.+ Lei, who had been reading magazines recently, understood clearly that these things were very valuable. 

How much would these cost? Everything before his eyes, even without the three bottles of Conti, it would cost no less than a million. Plus, s.h.i.+ Lei knew that they wouldn’t only get one each. After they finished it, they will be able to have seconds. This c.o.c.ktail party, without considering anything else, just by food itself would cost a few millions. 

Was that how it felt like to be a millionaire? You need a few 100,000 yuan to keep your stomach full? Even if he was like these people who only tried a little of everything, they would still eat on the average of 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. The total number would be unimaginable after he calculated the labour and this mansion in. 

There were only thirty people in a c.o.c.ktail party like this, yet it could not be done without 20,000,000 yuan. 

What an exciting thought.
