Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Do you mean that you are rich?” Zheng Luzi scowled.
Zhou Xiaoming frowned. He didn’t expect that it couldn’t be handled with two words. Zheng Luzi was startled. Zhou Xiaoming got up fearing that there was a conflict and quickly went over, “What happened?”
“Brother Zhou, this kid is acting bad*ss with us. He wants us to go down and eat. He said that it is his treat!” When Zheng Luzi saw that Zhou Xiaoming had come, he did not dare to flip out again. He pointed at Liu Baoqiang and spoke to Zhou Xiaoming.
“Misters, we have a few important things to discuss here. I’ll have to trouble you to make things easier. This meal will be paid by brother, me!” Zhou Xiaoming was also afraid of side-issues arising, and they were about to study the specifics of the demolition compensation plan in a while. Naturally, these things couldn’t be heard by outsiders, so he requested politely.
“Everyone can continue eating. I don’t think it will affect you.” Yang Ming looked up, glanced at Zhou Xiaoming, and said.
“Brother, if you talk like this, are you not giving me face?” Usually, how would Zhou Xiaoming talk in such a soft voice? He had long been accustomed to let Zheng Luzi and Niu Xiaobo giving a beating.
“Do you have a face for me to give?” Yang Ming sneered.
After listening to Yang Ming’s words, Zhou Xiaoming suddenly became very angry. He took a look at the dishes on Yang Ming’s table and then said disdainfully, “The minimum spend in this private room is five hundred yuan. Are these enough to cover five hundred yuan? If you don’t have money, don’t take the private room. Shameful!”
“What you mean is, whoever spends more money can eat here?” When Yang Ming couldn’t find the effort to teach Zhou Xiaoming a lesson, this guy took the initiative to come over.
“That is not what I said, it is the restaurant’s regulations!” Zhou Xiaoming snorted and thought, I will soon become a millionaire. Do you want to compare with me? You still can’t!
“Really? Then we need to order more. Order enough for five hundred yuan!” Yang Ming gave a look to Liu Baoqiang and said, “You summon the waiter. I want to order something!”
Liu Baoqiang smiled secretly in his heart. These few people really overestimated their abilities! Who is Yang Ming to compete with over who is wealthier? Aren’t they looking for death?
“Five hundred yuan?” Zhou Xiaoming’s eyes turned and said, “Now is not a problem of five hundred yuan. Now we are two groups of people fighting for this private room. What is five hundred yuan? The things that we are about to order are more than five hundred yuan!”
“What do you want?” Yang Ming narrowed his eyes.
“What do I want? Let’s do it this way. Whoever orders the more expensive things will be in this private room. The one who orders the least goes downstairs!” Zhou Xiaoming smiled and said, “However, we have to agree. If you lose, I will not pay for your meal!”
“Okay. Just as you said, the one who is capable gets it.” Yang Ming nodded and said. “This is fair. Waiter, come over and take our orders.”
Zhou Xiaoming was standing on the sidelines. He thought, We have six people, and you only have four people. Can you order more than us? Besides, I am a millionaire. Do you want to compare wealth with me? Seeing that you are all students, can you defeat me?
At this time, Liu Baoqiang also called the waiter, and the two groups began to order.
“Give us two sets of these shrimps.” Yang Ming pointed to the plate of shrimp that cost eighty- eight yuan on the menu.
“We want three sets!” Zhou Xiaoming glanced at the menu and said very casually.
“Order another two sets of the scallops.” Yang Ming flipped through the menu and continued.
“We want three sets.” Zhou Xiaoming said without hesitation.
Yang Ming had ordered a few hot pot ingredients, and Zhou Xiaoming ordered more than him.
Yang Ming was happy. You want more of what I ordered? That is fine. He then looked up at the waiter and said, “The big lobster in your store that cost eight hundred yuan, give me four of those!”
” Ah … lobster?” The waiter was stunned. The most expensive lobster here was only one hundred and fifty-eight yuan a piece. How was there an eight hundred yuan lobster? However, since it was said by a friend of the young master, he was also not sure. Could it be that new stock arrived?
Yang Ming kicked Liu Baoqiang under the table. Liu Baoqiang was not stupid. He immediately noticed, so he asked the waiter, “Do you have it?”
“Have it?” How did the waiter know if there was such a thing? When Liu Baoqiang asked this question, he also asked subconsciously.
“How could it be that there isn’t such a thing? We should have this!” said Liu Baoqiang.
” Oh , there is!” The waiter heard that the young master said it, so what was the problem? He immediately took the order.
“What lobster? We also… want six of them!” Zhou Xiaoming felt a pain in his heart. How is it so expensive? Was it brought from the South Pole? But he could not show his weakness, so he gritted his teeth and ordered.
As for what Liu Baoqiang said before about “You can have it,” Zhou Xiaoming didn’t take it seriously. He didn’t think that this Liu Baoqiang was the young master of this hot pot restaurant. He thought they were deliberately acting.
“Right, I heard that the big crab from Hokkaido arrived this morning? We will also order one for each of us!” Yang Ming said with a smile seriously.
“The big crab from Hokkaido…” The waiter repeated the order but looked at Liu Baoqiang.
Liu Baoqiang’s reaction was also fast. “This is in stock, right? I just saw when I entered the door a promotion that said the big crab from Hokkaido is three thousand eight hundred yuan each!”
” Oh , then there is stock!” So the waiter wrote it down, four of the big crabs from Hokkaido.
What is this? Three thousand eight hundred yuan? Zhou Xiaoming thought, What crab is this? Is it crab essence? Why is it so expensive? But seeing that Yang Ming ordered it, and I’ve already boosted, I will lose face if I admit defeat now. Hence, he said, “We want six of them! That big crab from Hokkaido!”
This waiter was not a fool. He had already seen Zhou Xiaoming and the conflict here before. This time, seeing Yang Ming and Liu Baoqiang repeatedly ordered expensive and high-end products that the restaurant never sold, he suddenly understood. They were deliberately playing the dumb rich guy in front of them!
Then he smiled and said, “I apologize, sir, there are only four big crabs from Hokkaido left. Because it is a promotion, the price is low, so it is finished after the sale… It is ordered first by this gentleman, so I can only give them the last four…”
“What is this? Why is it finished?” Zhou Xiaoming was annoyed, and it felt the same as falling down, “How do you run this restaurant? I want to eat crabs, but you don’t have it?”
“However, we have Hawaiian big crabs here, but it is not a promotion. So the price…” The waiter turned the thread of discussion.
“Okay, okay, then order the Hawaiian one!” Why did Zhou Xiaoming care so much at this moment? He wouldn’t let go of a chance to regain face.
“The big crab from Hawaii is seven thousand eight hundred yuan each. Do you also want to order six sets?” The waiter asked with a smile.
At first, when the waiter said that the big crab from Hokkaido was gone, Yang Ming and Liu Baoqiang were still puzzled. What happened to the waiter? At this moment, they understood the waiter’s intention and could not help but give a thumbs up. This waiter was good. He had a future!
“Seven… seven thousand eight hundred yuan?” Zhou Xiaoming felt that his heart was bleeding. What is this? How is it seven thousand eight hundred yuan just like that? However, he was now in a dilemma. Not order it? The momentum before became a joke. Zhou Xiaoming took a deep breath and said, “Okay, then I’ll order six of them!”
Yang Ming saw Zhou Xiaoming’s dress and knew that he couldn’t be very rich, so Yang Ming had been guessing his bottom line. Now, these crabs and lobsters were worth tens of thousands, and it was probably enough for Zhou Xiaoming. There was no need to overdo it, or else, it wouldn’t be fun if he scared Zhou Xiaoming away.
So he pretended to sigh. “I have ordered enough. We can’t eat it if we order more. Ai, it seems that we are still slightly inferior, so then, we can only let go of this room!”
Yang Ming pretended to stand up with regret, pretended to be envious and looked at Zhou Xiaoming. “Brother, you are really rich. I have somewhat overestimated myself!”
Zhou Xiaoming was still distressed about the money he had just spent but was stunned by Yang Ming, and he was relieved immediately. He didn’t feel the grievances of money anymore. Was it hard to buy happiness?
Anyway, in the demolition project in a few days, I will definitely get a lot of benefits– thought Zhou Xiaoming. This little spending can be counted as a cost! Looking at Yang Ming, he proudly said, “You flattered me. You let me win. Haha!”
” Ai , let’s go down!” Yang Ming pretended to be unwilling to stand up and walk with Liu Baoqiang to the door of the private room. However, halfway to the door, he turned back and said, “Right, waiter. If this boss can’t finish it all, and if they want to return the dishes, you’ll have to call us up!”
Zhou Xiaoming was astonished! He was surprised that Yang Ming guessed the thoughts in his heart. Indeed, face was face, but it was so much money. How could he not feel bad? So Zhou Xiaoming thought, wait until Yang Ming left, use the reason of not being able to finish eating and return the crab. However, he was stopped by Yang Ming’s sentence!
“How can we not finish eating it? We don’t even have enough to eat!” Zhou Xiaoming forced a laugh and looked at Yang Ming.
Outside the private room, the four people went to the stairs. Then, they couldn’t help but hold the handrails and laugh.
” Haha … I can’t handle it…” Chen Mengyan’s tears were all laughed out. “Yang Ming, why are you so bad? Do they have hatred against you?”
“You didn’t hear them. They deducted the money of the relocation. This kind of person who is rich but malevolent deserves to be defrauded!” Yang Ming said with a smile to Chen Mengyan.
Chen Mengyan also agreed with Yang Ming’s statement. She also heard a few words in the past. These people are indeed abhorrent enough. It serves them right to make them spend some money!
Liu Baoqiang, after he laughed, said to Yang Ming, “In a while, when they check out, the money we earned will be evenly divided!”
“It was all made by your restaurant. How can I want it?!” Yang Ming waved his hand and smiled, “It’s the first time we cooperated, and there already is a tacit understanding!”
