Chu Bingqing looked at Ling Zhenfei with her big eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and Ling Zhenfei could tell that Chu Bingqing wasn't exactly eager to leave either, but what could they do? Even celebrities are humans, and although they are filming movies, it's still their job.

Everyone has different roles. Chu Bingqing and Li Yuetong's job is to film TV shows and movies, so leaving is also for their work.

"I'll consider it. When my Xi Shan Restaurant becomes well-known enough, it will be a natural step to open branches in Modu and the Capital City." Ling Zhenfei said with certainty.

It seemed like Chu Bingqing wanted to say something but hesitated. Seeing so many people around, she couldn't say anything else.

"Big Brother Ling, I'm leaving too. When you come to the Capital City, don't forget to call me." Li Yuetong said reluctantly.

Ji Mei laughed, "What good is going to the Capital City? You think you can stay there for long? Being in the Capital City for half a year is already pretty good for you."

"I don't care. If you don't tell me, I'll definitely be unhappy." Li Yuetong said coquettishly.

"Alright, alright. I'll definitely let you know when I go to the Capital City."

Only after Ling Zhenfei said this did Li Yuetong cheer up. Although both Li Yuetong and Chu Bingqing are big stars, Chu Bingqing certainly has a stronger presence.

But Ling Zhenfei felt closer to Li Yuetong because she seemed like a little sister to him.

Finally, after the two got into their respective cars, the vehicles started moving away.

Ji Mei was concerned about her elixir because last time something happened unexpectedly, and the elixirs meant for her hadn't been sent out yet. Ling Zhenfei asked Jiang Hui to take Ji Mei to check them personally.

Since there were other matters in the restaurant, Ling Zhenfei didn't go with them and returned to the restaurant.

Chu He, Zhang Kang, and Li Ru were in a private room. Chu He and Zhang Kang were having a great time, as they both loved drinking. When Ling Zhenfei arrived, Chu He and Zhang Kang insisted on drinking with him.

In the end, both Chu He and Zhang Kang drank so much that they could barely keep their eyes open.

Ling Zhenfei knew they couldn't drink anymore. If they continued, they'd end up under the table. Seizing the opportunity, he went to the restroom, and upon returning, he ran into Li Ru at the door.

It seemed as if Li Ru was waiting for him on purpose, smiling as she saw him.

"Sister Ru, were you waiting for me?"

Li Ru nodded. "I didn't expect you to run a restaurant so well."

"Sis, please don't tease me. I'm already feeling very fortunate that I could open today; I almost got played to death."

Li Ru laughed. "This only proves your capability. You managed to open under such circumstances. I doubt anyone else could do it."

"Alright, Sis, stop praising me. I'm feeling embarrassed. By the way, how many days are you planning to stay in Binyang this time?" Ling Zhenfei said, a bit embarrassed.

The two chatted as they walked towards the room with three people inside.

"How many days? Shouldn't that depend on your wishes?" Li Ru looked at Ling Zhenfei, smiling cheerfully.

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback: "What do you mean by that? Are you saying I can decide how long you'll stay?"

Li Ru gave a teasing look, "It depends on how you entertain me. If you make me happy, I'll stay a few more days. If not, I'll leave tonight."

Ling Zhenfei arranged a room for Li Ru, then returned to the restaurant.

By the time Ling Zhenfei returned, there were very few guests left in the restaurant. Chu He and Zhang Kang were completely drunk.

Ling Zhenfei asked Zhou Tong to arrange for a few people to take them to a hotel to rest.

Sitting at the spot where Chu Bingqing had sat, looking at the bustling street outside the window, Ling Zhenfei fell into deep thought.

After some deep thinking, Ling Zhenfei opened his laptop to check online comments about the event.

Now, online public opinion had completely shifted. With so many media and influencers promoting it, Ling Zhenfei's restaurant had become an instant hit.

Most of the people who came to dine today directly bought preloaded cards worth ten thousand yuan, which led netizens to call it the "ten-thousand-yuan restaurant."

Additionally, the appearances of Chu Bingqing, Li Yuetong, and Ji Mei effectively served as a promotional campaign, turning Xi Shan Restaurant into a viral hotspot.

Everything from the restaurant's decor, the materials used, to the dishes and staff, became hot topics of discussion, with many people wanting to visit Xi Shan Restaurant.

Some even jokingly said that visiting Binyang meant a stop at Xi Shan Restaurant was a must, treating it like a museum or an attraction.

Ling Zhenfei was very pleased. The fact that his restaurant was hotly debated online meant he was close to success.

Several local media outlets in Binyang, online media, and seasoned critics had also given their opinions on the matter. Some of them had dined at the restaurant today and highly praised Xi Shan Restaurant.

Looking at the comments, Ling Zhenfei felt that the restaurant would definitely be full in the evening.

The speed of online dissemination is truly astounding. As long as something is good, word spreads quickly, and if it's of high quality, many people will find out about it.

But Ling Zhenfei also noticed some dissenting voices, including criticisms of Xi Shan Restaurant. One common critique was the radiation problem with Xishan Manor's vegetables.

Another complaint was about the restaurant's high prices, claiming it was a rip-off. Ordinary vegetables were sold at exorbitant prices, clearly targeting fans.

The most outlandish claim was an analysis of Ling Zhenfei and Chu Bingqing's relationship, asserting various theories that ultimately concluded they had an ambiguous relationship.

Ling Zhenfei found it amusing. He had only met Chu Bingqing twice, and yet such rumors spread. He was impressed by their wild imagination.

However, Ling Zhenfei gradually realized that it wasn't just one person saying this, but many. It became clear they were professional haters.

It was all planned, likely another of Qin Lan's tactics. But this move by Qin Lan was a blunder, conceived in anger.

Not many people believed it, and it only angered Chu Bingqing's fans more. Her fanbase was much larger than Ling Zhenfei's, with over a billion followers on Weibo.

While not all were real fans, millions of them certainly were, and their influence was formidable.

Originally, he thought Chu Bingqing wouldn't have time for such trivial matters, but unexpectedly, she responded on Weibo with two words.

"Hehe!"

Although just two words, Chu Bingqing's attitude was clear: the rumor was too ridiculous to be true.

Slightly reassured, Ling Zhenfei felt he should also make a statement, so he posted a Weibo update.
