Chapter 218: Chapter 130: It’s Still You, Brother Lie, Who Knows How to Spend Money_3
"So, everyone, go back and round up the brothers to make some noise, and I’ll go report this to the higher-ups..."
Yu Xueqin was determined to go all out.
Han Lie watched with a cold eye until, at the critical moment, he suddenly interjected, "Gentlemen, please discuss any matters privately. There’s no hurry. You guys can use this suite for the next few days. I’m living on campus every day, so it would be empty anyway."
Yu Xueqin stared, aghast. Holy crap, why do you have to spoil my plan?!
Liu Yingjun was very tempted, but he was a bit embarrassed to accept, "How could we possibly..."
"PSHAW! It’s no big deal. I’m not using it anyway."
Han Lie waved his hand magnanimously. "After all, I played a part in this mess, so don’t mention it—let’s go eat."
The waiter pushed in the cart, and Han Lie didn’t give them a chance to refuse, taking the lead and guiding everyone to the dining room.
"Ladies, dinner is served!"
Ma Ke was in high spirits, calling out loudly before pointing at Han Lie, "Quick, ladies, go attend to ’Little Master Han’ at the head of the table!"
The four girls giggled as they walked towards Han Lie, carrying a wave of perfume with them.
Of course, Han Lie wasn’t going to let the girls wait on him. He took the seat of honor on the right side of the long dining table and told everyone to sit wherever they liked.
Nata stood behind Han Lie and whispered in his ear, "Boss, ten dishes might not be enough..."
Han Lie whispered back, "Add two specialties per person that aren’t on the table already, and one extra dessert for the ladies."
Nata immediately went to handle it, while Han Lie started to ask for everyone’s opinions, "Would anyone like a drink?"
"Yes!"
The first to respond was Lou Xiaoxiao.
Zhao Shengnan was straightforward, "We should definitely have a drink, at least a toast to thank ’Little Master Han’ for his hospitality, right?"
Chen Lu, who had a small, round face, raised her hand timidly, "I’m not so good with beer or hard liquor... can we have champagne instead?"
Fang Tongzhi was very doting on his girlfriend, "I’ll drink champagne with you. It’s not good to get drunk on hard liquor in the middle of the day."
No one else seemed to mind, and it was clear that Fang Tongzhi held quite a high status.
Han Lie took the drink menu, glanced over it briefly, and made his selection.
"Let’s have this P3 from Dom Pérignon then. Hmm, one bottle for the ladies and two for the men, let’s start with three bottles."
Ma Ke was amazed and gave a thumbs up, "’Little Master Han,’ you’re so generous!"
Lou Xiaoxiao was curious and asked her boyfriend, "What’s that about?"
Ma Ke eagerly started to show off, "Dom Pérignon is different from other brands. They release their brew in three batches to the market each year.
"The first batch is released after aging for 9 years, which is called P1.
"The second batch is after 18 years, called P2.
"The third batch is aged for 25 years before being released, called P3.
"Get it?
"P3 represents top-tier vintage champagne that’s at least 25 years old!
"It’s far superior to the mass-produced Ace of Spades we drink at nightclubs!"
"WOW!"
All three girls, except Zhao Shengnan, exclaimed in surprise.
Fang Tongzhi realized something was amiss and quickly picked up another drink menu to scan the top for the price—51,888 CNY.
He felt his girlfriend had caused trouble for Han Lie and was very embarrassed. He hastened to stop him, "Hey, hey, Han Lie, it’s just a simple meal together, there’s no need for extravagance!"
How else am I going to accumulate experience? Just 170,000 more experience points and I can get my gambling skill to Level 4. I’m not one to splurge without reason, so of course, I’ll use you guys to do some favor-trading... As for what Level 4 gambling skills are for... can you guess?
Internally he was splitting with laughter, but on the surface, Brother Lie remained as composed as ever.
"Extravagance? This is already quite modest... You’re all distinguished guests, but this is the standard at the Marriott. I still feel it’s not quite enough..."
Good heavens! I’ve never seen anyone who can put on airs quite like this!
Everyone present was suddenly rendered speechless by Han Lie.
The first time he treats us to a meal, and he drops 150,000 on three bottles of champagne. We salute you, boss...
In truth, most of those present weren’t lacking in money. However, everyone has their own way of spending it; especially when it comes to food, attitudes differed greatly.
As for those with not much money at home, they currently had stars in their eyes.
Like Wang Xiaotian, Yu Xueqin, Wang Tianqing, Lou Xiaoxiao...
Lou Xiaoxiao was somewhat better off, since her boyfriend was well-off and generous, having bought her bags worth tens of thousands before.
Wang Tianqing was genuinely stunned, looking at Han Lie with eyes full of intense longing, making no effort to hide it.
Han Lie quietly gave himself a pat on the back.
I got the experience, sold the favors, charmed the girls, and pulled off the act... When it comes to spending money, no one does it like Brother Lie!
