Chapter 859 - 591: Bachelor
Xia Liang remained calm as he watched Yang Zhiyuan order a bottle of 25-cent red wine.
Yang Zhiyuan smirked.
Let's see how you handle this?
The wine alone costs 25 cents, let's see how you end up bankrupt later.
The others weren't to be outdone, frantically adding more orders.
They pointedly ordered the most expensive items.
When the final bill was tallied, the meal alone cost 40 cents!
Xia Liang accepted it all with a smile and a nod.
The waiters hurriedly brought up the dishes.
Soon, everything was served, and the wine was opened.
Yang Zhiyuan and Han Zihan exchanged a sly smile.
Now, Xia Liang is down 40 cents, what a loss~~
The group thought Xia Liang was foolish and showered him with flattery so sweet it was sickening.
"Xia Liang, you're truly our best classmate!"
"Xia Liang, you're really something!"
"Indeed, Xia Liang is the boss."
"Xia Liang, no doubt about it, just say the word, and I'd go through fire and water for you."
The group was confident of their victory tonight, feeling there was no escape for Xia Liang.
They had Xia in their grasp, ready to deal with him as they wished.
Han Zihan coyly said,
"Xia Liang, I didn't expect you to be this successful now? What do you do?"
Xia Liang sighed and smiled.
"Oh, you guessed right! I'm actually in the microbusiness!"
The group exchanged glances and laughed triumphantly.
They finally pierced through Xia Liang's facade of success!
"So you're just a microbusinessman? Hahaha~"
Han Zihan laughed so hard she almost doubled over.
Yang Zhiyuan clutched his belly in laughter, disdainfully saying,
"Xia Liang, I didn't expect your so-called success to be this?"
Xia Liang raised his glass solemnly.
"That's also why I've invited everyone to dinner today—I'm out of money and want to borrow some from you guys!"
The atmosphere instantly froze!
The group looked at each other in confusion!
Borrow money?
When it comes to borrowing money, even relatives turn distant, let alone classmates?
But having enjoyed his hospitality, it wouldn't be right to refuse.
Just now, they were spewing sweet words about their classmate bond.
Xia Liang earnestly said,
"Exactly, Goddess Han guessed right. In truth, I've been stretching myself thin, and lost several dollars! I've almost squandered everything I have, but my microbusiness mentor taught us that we must first lose money to build an image. Sooner or later, if we persist, we will earn big. Classmates, I treated you to this meal, so as old friends, can you lend me some money?"
Yang Zhiyuan was embarrassed!
Han Zihan's face powder fell off in shock.
Everyone was frightened hearing about borrowing money.
"How much do you want to borrow?"
Xia Liang smiled and said,
"Considering I spent 40 cents to treat you to this meal, you should at least lend me a dollar each, right?"
"A dollar?"
The group was so surprised they jumped up in a daze.
"Yes."
Xia Liang said confidently.
"Didn't you just say how deep our classmate bonds are, and forced me to treat you to such an expensive meal, claiming anything is fine? I hosted such a pricey banquet, so what's a little loan from you?"
The group exchanged uneasy glances, never expecting Xia Liang would treat them to dinner only to borrow money in return?
The most crucial point is, they had accepted his hospitality!
They had just boasted about their classmate bonds and now refusing Xia Liang would be unjustifiable.
"Um, I don't have money!"
Han Zihan backed out.
The others all claimed poverty too.
Xia Liang shrugged.
"You guys won't lend? That's difficult because I'm out of money."
Xia Liang stood up, shaking his head.
"I can't pay the bill, so what do you guys suggest?"
"You!"
Yang Zhiyuan was furious.
"Didn't you say you were treating us? Now you're not, and our orders are already on the table! What kind of joke is this?"
Xia Liang chuckled.
"It was you guys who started the joke!"
Having said that, he began to walk away.
Yang Zhiyuan and the others hurried to their feet.
"Trying to dine and dash, kid?"
Little did they know~~
They were intercepted by the prepared and smiling waiters.
"Gentlemen, may I ask who's paying the bill?"
Yang Zhiyuan was flustered.
"Him! Didn't you hear? Why are you asking us for money?"
The waiter politely replied.
"Ultimately, whoever pays can be discussed among you, but you were the ones who ordered the dishes and wine. Whoever ordered should be responsible. We have to keep an eye on you."
Yang Zhiyuan and Han Zihan were dumbfounded!
When Xia Liang boldly declared he was treating, the waiter wasn't there; it was afterward when they madly ordered that the waiter got involved.
No way for them to flee!
The waiters were smiling yet vigilant, guarding the exit to prevent any sneaky escape.
Yang Zhiyuan was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead, and he slammed the table.
"Xia Liang, you better come back."
Xia Liang sat down opposite with a grin.
"What's the matter?"
Yang Zhiyuan clenched his teeth.
"You claim to have no money, and yet you invite us? Fine, I'll treat this meal! Is that satisfactory?"
Yang Zhiyuan was boiling with anger.
As a son of the Yang Family, he ordered the dishes, and the waiters knew him - evading payment was not an option. Even if he didn't pay tonight, Caesar Hotel would find his family to collect.
More importantly~~
This banquet was mainly to make an impression for the goddess!
And deal with Xia Liang.
If this objective wasn't met, would Yang Zhiyuan just let it go?
Ultimately, instead of getting to Xia Liang, he ended up shooting himself in the foot!
Yang Zhiyuan was heartbroken.
Xia Liang casually said, grinning.
"Well, how embarrassing?"
He said that and unapologetically sat back, diving into the meal.
Xia Liang had long calculated that Yang Zhiyuan, having not achieved his goal, wouldn't break ties, allowing Xia Liang to mess with him however he wanted!
Li Xuelei secretly chuckled.
Giving a thumbs up to Xia Liang!
Awesome Glass.
Shameless and greedy, yet remains unscathed, now that's truly impressive.
Yang Zhiyuan grew angrier as he thought, clenching his teeth.
"Shameless!"
The plan to trick Xia Liang into a bloody loss had utterly failed.
Xia Liang straightforwardly admitted he had no money. What they thought would bleed him dry turned into Yang treating everyone instead!
"Xia Liang, if you're out of money, just say so."
Now Yang Zhiyuan felt it was the right moment to humiliate Xia Liang, and coldly snickered.
"Why act like a big shot on social media?"
I'm treating, and now you owe me for eating from my dime!
Watch how I deal with you.
Unexpectedly, Xia Liang, mouth full and greasy, retorted unyieldingly.
"How am I acting? Those things are all real?"
"You!"
Yang Zhiyuan was so infuriated by Xia Liang he suddenly stood up!
He couldn't hold back.
He had to teach this pauper a hard lesson to show him the vast difference between them.
With an air of superiority, he sneered.
"This meal costs 40 cents, you couldn't treat us, but for me, it's a mere token! Just a week's allowance."
He tossed out a card to the waiter, feigning generosity.
"Swipe the card!"
The waiter pleasantly smiled.
"Thank you, Young Master Yang, after the discount, it's 40 cents."
Yang Zhiyuan was in pain, gritting his teeth~~
Although he was smiling, inside he was cursing!
His family was well-off, but 40 cents was definitely not his weekly allowance.
More like three months' worth.
If he were truly wealthy, how could he fail to woo Han Zihan?
