âYour taste is still the best. Commoners like us really canât compare to you,â Lin Yi said.
âBut then again, although their dishes are average, the wine is not bad. Itâs all red wine that has been stored for more than ten years. Wait for me to order a bottle. â
âDonât, donât, donât.â Guo Fei hurriedly said.
âYou still have to drive later. Donât order the wine.â
âI canât drink, but you can.â Lin Yi said, âWeâre here, and youâre the one who is spending the money. I have to make you happy.â
âWellâ¦â
Guo Fei muttered, âIf you donât want to drink it, thereâs no point in me drinking myself. I wonât drink any.â
âAlright, weâll drink a bit today.â âYes, yes, yes. Just a drink will do.â
Sitting on the chair, Guo Fei felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Thinking of the sky-high bill later, he wanted to die.
âYaoyao, look at this place. The external environment isnât that great, but the price is really expensive,â Fang Fei whispered.
âAfter all, itâs Zhonghai. Everything is expensive,â Du Yao said.
âMy parentsâ income for a year would only be enough to cover a meal here. Moreover, itâs my first time dining in a restaurant where the dishes are priced per person.â
âThree Michelin-star restaurants are all like this. Theyâre a little more particular than ordinary restaurants.â
âAh? So this is a legendary three Michelin-star restaurant.â Fang Fei was surprised.
âIn novels, Iâve always seen a domineering CEO bringing the female lead to three Michelin-star restaurants for a meal. I didnât expect to see it today.â
âWe have to thank Guo Fei for this. If not for his generosity, we wouldnât have come to such a good place.â
âThatâs right. â
Fang Fei smiled at Guo Fei. âOld classmate, thank you for bringing us here to see the world. â
Guo Fei forced out a smile, but it looked uglier than a cry.
âItâs a small matter. Donât take it to heart. Iâve never been to this place before. Itâs a good time to try it.â
âAfter this meal, I can go back and brag to everyone that Iâve to a three
Michelin-star restaurant.â
Just as they were chatting, the waiter brought the dishes one by one.
Du Yao and Fang Fei were amazed by the exquisite pendulum and unique design. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âCome on, have a taste. Iâm a little hungry.â
As he spoke, Lin Yi moved his chopsticks first.
âOh my god, this abalone is too big. Itâs almost as big as my fist,â Fang Fei exclaimed.
âItâs only fitting for the price. After all, itâs more than 10,000 yuan each. If it wasnât big enough, no one would eat it.â
Initially, Guo Fei wanted to try the taste of this single-headed abalone, but after hearing the price of more than 10,000 yuan, he was instantly stunned.
He couldnât eat a single bite and even felt a little nauseous.
Fang Fei nodded and tasted a small piece. She was pleasantly surprised. âYaoyao, try this single-headed abalone. Itâs super fresh. Itâs much better than the ones that cost a few yuan each.â âAre you exaggerating?â
âTry it yourself if you donât believe me.â
Du Yao refused to believe it. She took a bite and found that the taste was indeed quite unique.
However, she had never eaten abalone before. She did not know how to compare it, but it was indeed delicious.
âAm I right?â Fang Fei asked.
âGuo Fei was right. You get what you pay for. Although itâs a little expensive, thereâs a reason why it cost this much. Rich people really know how to enjoy themselves. Iâve never seen such a big one before.â
âIf you like it, Iâll order two more.â
âNo, thereâs no need, right?â Guo Fei said.
âMy appetite isnât very good. I havenât eaten a single bite of this. Why donât you guys eat it?â
âDidnât you say you were hungry just now? Why did you suddenly lose your appetite?â
âI donât know whatâs wrong with me. I suddenly lost my appetite. Eat my portion.â
Guo Fei naturally wanted to eat such a good thing.
However, when he thought of the tens of thousands of yuan bill, he had the urge to die.
It was impossible for the Guan family and their friends to fork out so much money to help.
He could only pray that this restaurant accepted Alipay HuabeiO.
âThen I wonât stand on ceremony with you.â
âNo, youâre welcome. You guys eat.â
Guo Fei was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the food.
He took his phone and opened Alipay. When he realized that the limit was only 45,000 yuan, he immediately felt his vision go dark. This bit of money was not enough to pay the bill.
He had to take out his credit card.
Thinking of this, Guo Fei didnât want to live anymore.
About an hour later, the meal came to an end.
After all, it was just a simple meal, not a buffet, so the meal ended very quickly. Meanwhile, Guo Feiâs emotions had also reached its most tense moment.
âWeâre almost done eating. Letâs find a place to stay so we can get up early tomorrow,â Lin Yi stood up and said.
âUm, wait for me outside first. Iâll look for you guys after I pay. â
âThis meal seems a little expensive. I still have 2,000 yuan here. Iâll compensate you,â Fang Fei said.
âI also have 3,500 yuan,â Du Yao said.
âNo, thereâs no need.â Guo Fei said, âWe agreed that Iâll treat you today. How can I let you spend money? Just wait for me outside.â
âReally? Then we wonât stand on ceremony with you.â
With that, Du Yao and Fang Fei carried their bags and walked out with Lin Yi.
As he watched the three of them leave, images flashed through Guo Feiâs mind.
If he didnât use the Alipay Huabei, how many plates would he have to wash for others to compensate them for this meal?
âF*ck!â
Guo Fei cursed. No one could be blamed for this. He could only blame himself for being too pretentious!
âWaiter,â Guo Fei called out. âHello, sir. What can I do for you?â
âHow much is our table?â
âA total of 89,632 yuan, rounded down to 89,600 yuan.â
âThatâ¦â Guo Feiâs face turned red. âI want to ask you something.â
âWhat is it? Tell me.
âDo you accept Alipay Huabei?â
âYes?â
The waiter was stunned. âSir, what did you say? Alipay Huabei?â
âYes, Iâll pay via QR code.â Guo Fei pretended to be calm and said, â1 was in a hurry when I went out, so I didnât bring that much cash. â
âSir, itâs like this. The man who sat at your table just now has already paid the money.â
âPaid⦠paid?â âYes, thatâs right.â
âI-I got it. â
Guo Feiâs mood was like a roller coaster.
He had never thought that Lin Yi would secretly pay the money.
Those who had not experienced the feeling of escaping death would never be able to understand this.
However, Lin Yiâs secret payment still surprised him.
It was almost 90,000 yuan for the meal. Was he really that rich?
Guo Fei reorganized his emotions, walked out of the restaurant, and got into
Lin Yiâs car.
âWhy did you only come out now? Iâve been waiting for you for a long time,â Fang Fei said.
âI-I went to the toilet, so I was delayed.â Guo Fei said.
âLin Yi, youâre really something. We agreed that I would pay, so why did you foot the bill?â
