I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 719 - 496: In the Air

"Yes... Yes, coming right up."

After taking the order, the waitress snuck several more glances at Xia Liang before leaving. She immediately returned to her colleagues and exclaimed animatedly, "He's even more handsome up close than from afar! I'm seriously about to drool. And he's nothing like those pretty-boy celebrities debuting recently. His handsome face has a hint of masculine charm, completely unlike those effeminate types!"

"Look at you, all starry-eyed! Hold on, I'm going to go see for myself if he's as handsome as you say."

"You're calling me starry-eyed? Don't pretend you don't want a look too!"

...

The group of waitresses was talking behind Xia Liang, so he couldn't see them.

But Yi Fei saw it all clearly—the waitresses constantly stealing glances at Xia Liang and whispering among themselves. She teased him, "You've got a lot of charm, Xia Liang. That waitress just now was about to drool over you."

"Surely it wasn't that exaggerated," Xia Liang said with a smile.

"Not at all. If you don't believe me, just turn around and look. It isn't just one waitress; that whole group is peeking at you."

Hearing this, Xia Liang subtly turned his head for a look.

It was true. A whole group of waitresses was sneaking glances at him.

"This is giving me the creeps. I guess it's my curse for being too handsome."

"Haha, you have no shame! By the way, a few of them are quite pretty. You should go ask one of them out," Yi Fei joked.

"You're joking. After seeing you, how could I possibly find any other woman pretty?"

Xia Liang's words were purely a compliment, a playful bit of flirting with no other meaning behind them.

But to Yi Fei's ears, they sounded different. She was already flustered from getting too invested in her role, and now, hearing Xia Liang's charming words, her face instantly flushed red.

"Your food has arrived. Please enjoy."

Thankfully, a waitress arrived with their meal, diverting Xia Liang's attention and preventing an awkward moment.

After all, Yi Fei was considered a goddess-level figure. Blushing over a casual compliment from Xia Liang would be far too embarrassing.

After dinner, Xia Liang and Yi Fei returned to the hotel together. They weren't getting a room together; they just happened to be staying at the same hotel. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Well, see you tomorrow."

"Yeah, see you tomorrow."

After escorting Yi Fei to her door, Xia Liang turned and headed toward his own room.

Watching his retreating figure, Yi Fei's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts.

Meanwhile, Xia Liang returned to his hotel and started a livestream. The audience in his stream room only let him go after he promised to perform a truly shocking show the next day. Xia Liang didn't waste any time. He immediately called the manager of the commercial street to have him plan and promote the event.

「The next day, at the commercial street.」

The area was packed with people; even television stations had sent their crews. Qingyun Satellite TV was providing a live broadcast feed.

"Good evening, viewers, and welcome to tonight's special program," the host began. After first introducing Xia Liang's upcoming performance, she continued, "It's already nine o'clock, but Xia Liang has yet to appear. As you can see, the commercial street is swarming with countless people who have come to watch. We don't know how this will affect Xia Liang's performance, since nobody knows what act he is going to perform."

The host was shouting her report over the noise of the helicopter rotors when the cameraman suddenly panned the camera and yelled, "Look over there! It looks like something is flying this way!"

Viewers on television and in the livestream watched as a white dot in the moonlit sky grew closer and closer. It swiftly glided over the crowd, which instantly erupted into a roar as tumultuous as a tidal wave.

"It's Master Xia, no doubt! Master Xia has finally arrived!"

"A hang glider! Man, what an epic entrance."

"It's cool, for sure, but is this a magic performance?"

Cameras from all angles captured Xia Liang's figure. He was dressed elegantly in a white top hat and a matching white formal suit, looking every bit the gentleman. People in the crowd were already screaming hysterically, their eyes sparkling as they yelled about how cool he was.

Xia Liang glided back and forth over the crowd twice, ensuring everyone's attention was focused on him. Then, finding the right spot, he made his move. The crowd heard a loud BANG as the hang glider in midair seemed to explode, bursting into a cloud of thick smoke. When the smoke cleared, he was standing in midair, hands in his pockets, striking an impressively nonchalant pose.

Everyone gasped at the sight. The sound of so many people inhaling sharply at once was a spectacle in itself, but no one noticed. All eyes were fixed on Xia Liang; who could possibly pay attention to anything else?

The television helicopter's spotlight shone directly on Xia Liang. The once articulate host was now stuttering, her astonished expression making one worry she might fall right out of the aircraft.

"Incredible! Unbelievable! Everyone saw that—Xia Liang is just suddenly standing there in the air! It's so incredible, yet it's happening right before our eyes. I can hardly believe it! We're going to fly in closer to see how he's doing it."

Xia Liang remained perfectly still in the air for more than ten seconds, giving the audience plenty of time to react. Once the crowd on the commercial street snapped out of their shock, their reaction was much the same as the female host's. In the livestream chat, the Online Friends were in a complete uproar.

[FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK, that's the only word that can express how I feel right now.]

[What the?! This camera angle is amazing! I can't see any wires on the Anchor!]
