Chapter 499: A 200,000 Yuan Feast!

As soon as Jiang Ming heard this, he immediately sneered, "Oh, Ye Chen, you're something else. You don't even need a draft when you brag!"

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "What's there to brag about? If you don't believe it, let's each pay a 100,000 yuan advance, and we'll eat for 200,000 tonight. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Jiang Ming said excitedly, "Is that for real?"

Ye Chen took out his phone directly, opened Alipay, and said to the waiter, "Come, scan the code to pay."

Seeing this, Jiang Ming was so excited he almost jumped up!

He had wanted to eat more for this meal so he could get a bigger price difference when he got reimbursed, but this bunch of friends from the orphanage were too pathetic, chattering away there, and he didn't know how annoying they were.

Ye Chen was now willing to split the bill with him, and pay 100,000 at once. Wasn't this clearly sending him money?

He would also pay 100,000, but he could get a 200,000 yuan invoice. When he went back, he would tell his boss that this meal was to treat a super big client, and there was a possibility of negotiating a 10 million deal. The boss would definitely wave his hand and reimburse him.

He had already figured it out: saving his life was the most important thing!

First, trick these two friends who wanted to make money with him, then go back to the company, get this 200,000 reimbursed, and solve Ma Zhongliang's problem.

As for whether the boss would settle accounts later, that wasn't something to consider now.

After all, for him now, Ma Zhongliang was the biggest threat.

So he hurriedly took out his phone and said to Ye Chen, "Good, since you're so straightforward, I'll pay 100,000 too!"

Aunt Li wanted to dissuade the two, but Ye Chen waved his hand at her, signaling her not to worry.

For Ye Chen, whether a meal cost 100,000 or 200,000 was just a drop in the bucket. What he wanted to do was not let Jiang Ming succeed.

The waiter took the POS machine and used the scan-to-pay function to swipe 100,000 yuan from each of their Alipays.

Confirming that 200,000 had arrived, Jiang Ming said with a beaming face, "Since that's the case, let's order more good stuff! Waiter, bring us all the good wine, good food, and good seafood you have here. Just aim for 200,000. I want to spend all 200,000 today, don't leave a single cent!"

The waiter didn't expect to meet such a wealthy table of people today, so he immediately said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll arrange it right away and bring the wine up first!"

Hearing that they were about to enjoy a 200,000 yuan feast, many of the friends at the table were excited and unable to contain themselves.

Especially Zhao Zhuoyue, who had been wearing a bitter face just a moment ago; now his mouth was almost split to his ears with joy!

Just now, he was worried because he didn't want to spend more money, but now that he saw this 200,000 yuan meal had already been paid for by someone else, and he didn't have to pay a single cent, he was so excited he almost wanted to run to the restroom and throw up everything he had eaten before.

That way, he could clear his stomach and wait to eat the good stuff coming up.

Many losers had this kind of mindset: if they had to spend their own money to do something, they might feel worse than being beaten; but if they didn't have to spend money, or if someone else was paying, they would run faster than anyone and smile happier than anyone.

To put it bluntly, they were freeloaders.

Soon, the waiter brought up lobster, abalone, and other mountain and sea delicacies, and even a whole roasted suckling pig, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, emitting an incomparable aroma.

Zhao Zhuoyue was eating all kinds of good things frantically while holding a glass of wine, desperately pouring it into his mouth.

Champagne worth nearly 20,000 yuan a bottle—he hadn't even smelled it in his life, let alone drunk it. So, having such a good opportunity, he decided he must drink his fill.

At this time, Jiang Ming's lackey, Zheng Xiang, while eating the roasted suckling pig, said flatteringly, "Why do I feel like I've become Wang Duoyu's good brother in 'Hello Mr. Billionaire'? The scene we're in now is almost no different from the scene where they were eating and drinking in the hotel in the movie!"

As soon as this was said, it immediately resonated with others, and everyone nodded and smiled, "That's right, that's right, it really does feel a bit like that!"

Zheng Xiang smiled again and said, "It's all thanks to Brother Ming. Thank you, Brother Ming!"

Li Xiaofen said indignantly, "Why only thank Jiang Ming? Ye Chen brother also paid half of the money for this meal, okay?"

Zheng Xiang said disdainfully, "I'm eating Brother Ming's half, and you're eating Ye Chen's half, so thank whoever you want; it has nothing to do with me."

At this time, Zhao Zhuoyue, who was eating with his mouth full of oil, finally found a gap and reacted to the topic everyone was discussing just now. With his mouth still chewing all kinds of meat, he asked vaguely, "Right, what were you talking about just now? What 'Hello Mr. Billionaire'? Why don't I understand?"

Zhao Hao asked with a frown, "A movie! 'Hello Mr. Billionaire', the one Shen Teng acted in. It was in theaters a while ago and the box office was so hot. Didn't you watch it?"

"Movie theater?" Zhao Zhuoyue immediately said with disdain, "I don't go to the movie theater to watch movies. Why should I spend money to watch the movies they make? Are these people crazy about money? It would be better if they let me watch for free! I always go online to beg others for resources, and I'll go back tonight to beg for a resource to watch this movie."

"Idiot!" Zhao Hao said coldly, "Zhao Zhuoyue, your desire to take advantage of others is too strong, isn't it? People invest hundreds of millions to make a movie, and there are so many people like directors, cameramen, crew, and actors who put in their hard work for so long. If everyone watched it for free like you, who would still make movies? Wouldn't film companies lose money?"

Zhao Zhuoyue, hearing Zhao Hao challenge him, said disdainfully, "Don't give me that crap. I'm the type who never gets enough of taking advantage of others. I just like things that don't cost money. Even if they cost money, I don't pay. So what? Isn't that okay? Not only do I not give them money, but I also go online to scold them, scold them for filming poorly, scold them for poor acting, scold them for filming too slowly. Can you manage that? You're really meddling in other people's business."

Zhao Hao said angrily, "You take advantage and then scold people? You're so shameless, aren't you afraid of retribution for saying such things!"

Zhao Zhuoyue curled his lips: "What retribution? Anyway, I'm an orphan, who am I afraid of? Am I afraid of my father and mother dying?"

Zhao Hao was left speechless by the retort.

When a person is shameless to this extent, nothing works.

So he was too lazy to continue arguing with such a person.

Ye Chen watched from the side and sighed. Some people, even if they are born lowly, can climb up step by step to become superior people, but some people will become losers, the lowest level of this society.

Just like this Zhao Zhuoyue, there was really a reason he became a loser.

Not respecting others, not respecting himself, only thinking about making money and taking advantage in his brain—this kind of person often suffers big losses.

It's estimated that after this meal, he will desperately grovel to Jiang Ming.

And Jiang Ming will not hesitate to squeeze out all the remaining value from him.

By that time, he probably won't even have tears when he cries.

But it wasn't that he hadn't thought about giving him a hand.

The key was that this person was completely ungrateful and still had no self-awareness.

This made Ye Chen can't wait to see what Zhao Zhuoyue's end would be!
