Chapter 176 Poverty (7)

Even from a distance, Yu Bai could hear Song Huaishu's pretentious voice.
"Boss Bo, please come this way. This restaurant is pretty good. I waited a long time to get a table. I was not originally qualified to intern in the group. I am grateful for Boss Bo's kindness and care."
"Um."
Bo Minghan responded indifferently, suddenly stopped and looked forward.
Song Huaishu also followed his gaze and looked forward.
Just one glance and he was stunned.
Why is Yu Bai here?
As soon as he saw Yu Bai, Song Huaishu couldn't help but think of his embarrassing past.
Song Huaishu clenched his fists, trying his best to stay calm and not show any weakness in front of Yu Bai.
It's different now. Now he is an intern at Bo's Group. Mr. Bo thinks highly of him. As long as he successfully completes the project at hand, he will be able to leap into the upper class circle and rise to prominence.
Yu Bai is just a young master who relies on his family, it's no big deal.
Thinking of this, he raised his head again and looked at Yu Bai.
But when he saw An Yu beside Yu Bai, he was stunned again.
This boy, isn't he the one in the algorithm model...
Bo Minghan seemed to know what he was thinking and hinted at him coldly: "Song Huaishu, don't lose your composure."
Then, Bo Minghan took a step and walked towards Yu Bai and An Yu: "Young Master Yu, would you like to come out and play?"
The Yu Group and the Bo Group are competing companies. Even though Yu Bai is still young, he still knows the CEOs of the competing companies.
Yu Bai put on a polite smile and said, "Yes, I'm out for some fun with a few friends. Are President Bo and the group's employees coming out for dinner?"
As people with whom we are not close friends should not be mentioned in public, he certainly would not tell anyone about An Yu’s birthday.
But he didn't know that Bo Minghan had actually been eyeing An Yu for a long time.
Bo Minghan's gaze fell on An Yu again: "An Yu, you are here too?"
An Yu pursed her lips and responded, "Hello, Mr. Bo."
Yu Bai turned around, and An Yu explained: "Boss Bo used to be my sponsor."
"Oh." Yu Bai said politely, "I've always heard that Mr. Bo is keen on charity. What a coincidence."
Bo Minghan smiled, still staring at An Yu: "If I remember correctly, today should be your eighteenth birthday? Are you and your classmates coming out to celebrate your birthday?"
"Yeah." An Yu nodded. Yu Bai frowned and put his arm around An Yu's shoulders.
No, which sponsor would go out of his or her way to remember the birthday of the sponsored person?
If you bump into it by chance at the restaurant door, you can remember it immediately?
Yu Bai always felt something was strange.
He hugged An Yu and said with a smile, "It's getting late. The dishes in the private room should have been served. Let's go in first. Mr. Bo, take your time to eat."
"Okay." Bo Minghan nodded politely and watched An Yu leave.
The waiter came over and took them into the private room.
Bo Minghan turned around and told his subordinates: "Go buy a birthday cake and a birthday gift that boys like, such as a watch or a tie."
"Yes." The subordinate smiled and said, "Boss Bo is really good to the sponsored students. He even celebrated their birthdays without sponsoring them."
Everyone else was flattering him, but Song Huaishu was the only one who had a forced smile on his face, as if he was trying hard to hide something.
Bo Minghan just smiled and said nothing. He glanced at Song Huaishu and said, "Huaishu, you've been working hard recently. Let's go in and have dinner."
"Yes." Song Huaishu pulled the corner of his mouth, adjusted his expression, and continued to lead the way, "Mr. Bo, this way please."

On the other side, Yu Bai hugged An Yu's neck and noticed that he was a little uncomfortable, so he asked him quietly: "How about changing places?"
"No need." An Yu shook his head, "This place is great."
Anyway, they are eating in a private room, so they shouldn't run into each other again.
Even if we encounter them, there are so many of them, so nothing should happen.
This restaurant looks expensive, don't waste your money.
The waiter led them to the private room and opened the door.
The private room was decorated warmly, with flowers and candles, a "Happy Birthday" sign hanging on the wall, and a big cake on a cart next to it.
An Yu was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes: "Thank you, senior. This is the first time someone has celebrated my birthday like this."
"You're welcome." Yu Bai waved his hand, and seeing his red eyes, he quickly said, "Hey, don't cry."
He had ordered food for Song Huaishu hundreds of times in the past, but Song Huaishu had never said "thank you" to him. Look how polite An Yu was!
For the first time, Yu Bai felt that the money he spent was worth it, and his elder brother and Teacher Zhu would reimburse him, which meant he didn't spend any money.
It's nice to get a free "thank you" without spending any money.
The waiter smiled and asked, "Young Master, are you ready to serve the food?" Yu Bai said, "Ask today's protagonist. He has the final say today."
The waiter smiled and looked at An Yu again: "Mr. An, can we serve the food now?"
"Okay." An Yu nodded, "Thank you."
"Then please take a seat."
A group of people sat around the table and the waiter went out to prepare to serve the food.
An Yu had just entered college and didn’t have many classmates he knew well. This time, he only invited his roommates to his birthday party.
Including Yu Bai, there are five people in total.
Soon, several waiters came in pushing a food cart.
Various dishes were placed on the table, and An Yu was once again moved to the point of having his eyes turn red.
Yu Bai picked up some food for him and helped him greet the guests: "Eat quickly, don't be polite. An Yu's friends are my friends. Would you like red or white?"
"Senior, Teacher Zhu said..."
"Coke or Sprite? Or juice?"
An Yu is shy, but fortunately Yu Bai is cheerful and always livens up the atmosphere.
After eating for a while, there was another knock on the door.
Yu Bai put down his chopsticks and responded, "What's the matter?"
A waiter pushed a cake in. Yu Bai frowned and said, "Did you send it to the wrong place? We have cakes here."
The others also turned to look.
The waiter explained, "Young Master, this is a cake that Mr. Bo from next door specially sent to Mr. An, as well as a birthday present."
Yu Bai frowned, and An Yu said, "We already have a cake here. Please thank Mr. Bo for his kindness on my behalf. Send the cake and gifts back."
The waiter said, "I am only responsible for delivering the food. If An wants to refuse, please go to the next room by yourself..."
"Ah?" An Yu looked embarrassed.
Yu Bai said: "Just push it back. Mr. Bo will definitely not force you to do anything."
Seeing their firm attitude, the waiter could only push the things away.
An Yu wanted to leave, but they had just sat down for a short time and he was embarrassed to bring it up for fear of spoiling everyone's fun.
He could only pray in his heart, hoping that Bo Minghan would not come again.
But three minutes later, the door of the private room was pushed open again.
This time it was Bo Minghan who came in person.
"An Yu, happy birthday." Bo Minghan walked in with a wine glass in hand and asked in a warm voice, "Don't you like the gift?"
An Yu stood up quickly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Bo. But the gift is too expensive, I can't accept it. We have cakes here too, but we can't finish them and we can't store them in the dormitory."
"It's okay." Bo Minghan said, "I'm a VIP of the restaurant here. You can leave the cake here and come back to eat it tomorrow. Or the Bo Group is nearby, so you can put the cake in the refrigerator in the group's tea room."
Song Huaishu echoed, "Student An, I am also one of the students sponsored by President Bo. President Bo is very kind to us students. Every student has a gift on their birthday. You don't have to feel embarrassed, just accept it."
Bo Minghan raised his glass: "Happy birthday."
An Yu picked up his drink cup with both hands: "Thank you."
Just as the two were about to clink their glasses, Song Huaishu said, "Isn't Xiao An turning eighteen today? You can drink alcohol at eighteen. Would you like some? Mr. Bo has sponsored you for three years. It would be too rude to just drink."
He shook the bottle in his hand and was about to pour it into An Yu's drink glass.
An Yu was startled and almost jumped up.
Yu Bai simply stretched out his hand and covered the rim of the cup.
He said in a cold tone: "Song Huaishu, don't meddle in other people's business here."
Song Huaishu said shamelessly: "Young Master Yu, I am teaching Xiao An the basic social etiquette. You don't understand the difficulties of us poor students. Mr. Bo can be regarded as a timely help to Xiao An. If it weren't for Mr. Bo, Xiao An would not be able to go to college and would have to drink in the future."
"Then wait until you get out into society. You are not related to him, why are you so anxious?" Yu Bai said, "Besides, Mr. Bo, you shouldn't force students to drink."
Bo Minghan smiled and said, "Of course not. An Yu can drink the beverage."
The two clinked their glasses, and Bo Minghan drank the wine in his glass. He sighed, "An Yu, I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that you have become more distant from me since you were admitted to university."
His voice was not loud, but everyone in the room could hear it.
"When you were in high school, I knew your grades, ranking, and living conditions. Now that you've been admitted to college, I don't know your academic situation anymore."
"You even refused to accept my gift today. Did something happen? Do you have any misunderstanding about me?"
You can hear a pin drop in the private room.
An Yu subconsciously looked at his classmates, for he was afraid of being considered an ungrateful person.
Bo Minghan smiled and said nothing more, then handed the empty cup to Song Huaishu.
Song Huaishu filled his glass of wine.
Bo Minghan raised his glass towards An Yu: "No matter what misunderstandings there are, as long as you encounter difficulties, you can always call me. An Yu, I wish you good academic success and a bright future. I will always be your sponsor."
He looked at An Yu, whose eyes were slightly red from drinking. He really looked like a sponsor who had been betrayed by an ungrateful person.
An Yu was at a loss: "Don't say that, I..."
Yu Bai interrupted him: "Boss Bo is a little drunk." He said to Song Huaishu: "Help your Boss Bo go back."
Song Huaishu took the opportunity to support Bo Minghan and said, "Boss Bo, let's go back to the private room."
He glanced at An Yu and said softly to him, "An Yu, you'd better figure out who is the one who treats you well. Mr. Bo is supporting you without asking for anything in return, and Young Master Yu has a childish temper and treated me the same way before. If you make the people who treat you well sad for Young Master Yu, then you will lose more than you gain."
Yu Bai's eyes widened and he shouted, "Song Huaishu, you're at it again, aren't you? You think the freshmen don't know about the little shit you did, so you can just talk nonsense, right? Mr. Bo, your intern is talking nonsense here, do you care?"
Bo Minghan patted Song Huaishu on the shoulder, signaling him to stop talking.
Song Huaishu didn't dare to say anything more. He supported Bo Minghan and turned to leave.
The group came in a mighty procession and left in a mighty procession.
Yu Bai walked forward quickly and slammed the door of the private room shut. "You are absolutely crazy. It's a good day, someone's birthday, but you come and talk about these nonsense."
He didn't know that Bo Minghan came here specifically to put pressure on An Yu.
Make him feel guilty, make him uncomfortable, and make him restless.
Sure enough, Yu Bai turned around, and An Yu quickly explained to him and his roommates: "You misunderstood. Mr. Bo did support me before, and then I got a scholarship, and then..."
Yu Bai interrupted him: "You don't need to explain to us, we all believe you. It's obvious that Mr. Bo is suspicious. Why did he have to say these things in front of so many people? It makes it seem like you and him are not in a sponsor-sponsored relationship, but that you dumped him."
An Yu was stunned, and his roommates nodded: "Yes, there is no need to explain so much, his words are indeed weird, An Yu, don't take it to heart, we won't take it seriously."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
Yu Bai said, "Just now, when Song Huaishu was trying to sow discord, you didn't believe him either, right? We certainly didn't believe what Mr. Bo said either."
It was the first time that An Yu was trusted unconditionally by someone.
Yu Bai added: "I think I can't eat this meal anymore. How about we change places? Or you can pack up the dishes and cakes and eat them in the dormitory?"
An Yu nodded: "Okay."
His roommates had no objection, so Yu Bai asked the waiter to come in and pack up, and the group prepared to leave.
*
Song Huaishu supported Bo Minghan and returned to the private room next door.
Bo Minghan sat down in the main seat and Song Huaishu sat on his left.
Song Huaishu lowered his voice and said indignantly: "Boss Bo, that An Yu is really ungrateful. You said so, and he not only refused to drink, but also didn't say a single nice word."
Bo Minghan leaned back in his chair, rubbing his eyebrows, and said nothing.
Song Huaishu added, "Since Mr. Bo is drunk, how about I go talk to him and ask him to send Mr. Bo back? After all, Mr. Bo drank too much for his birthday, he shouldn't be ignorant of these social etiquettes."
He knew that Bo Minghan had been eyeing An Yu for a long time, otherwise he would not have used An Yu's data for algorithm testing.
Since he has already boarded Bo Minghan's boat and can't get off now, he might as well just tie himself to Bo Minghan.
Bo Minghan raised his eyes slightly to look at him, and Song Huaishu immediately sat up straight, as if as long as President Bo gave the order, he would immediately go to the next private room.
A loyal look.
Bo Minghan smiled and said calmly: "That's enough for today. If I insist on him sending me back, Yu Bai will definitely not agree."
"That's right." Song Huaishu agreed, "But Mr. Bo is young and promising. It's An Yu's blessing that he likes him. After An Yu realizes what's going on, he will definitely not reject Mr. Bo."
"Um."
Bo Minghan simply responded and handed the empty glass to him.
Song Huaishu tactfully filled his glass: "Don't worry, Mr. Bo, the algorithm will be officially launched soon. By then, even if An Yu doesn't want to, he will have to..."
Bo Minghan hushed him.
Song Huaishu understood and whispered, "Don't worry, Mr. Bo, I won't tell."
Bo Minghan drank his wine, lowered his eyes slightly, and saw the hem of Song Huaishu's white shirt.
It seems that all of them, poor students, like to wear white shirts. An Yu wore a white shirt today, and so did Song Huaishu.
The group sat for a while and then prepared to go back.
When they walked out of the restaurant, Yu Bai's driver was waiting outside. The car door opened and An Yu's roommates were about to get in.
When they saw Bo Minghan coming out, An Yu and Yu Bai were both startled.
Damn it, it just happened.
Yu Bai stood in front of An Yu and patted An Yu's arm: "Get in the car first."
An Yu went up, and Yu Bai politely said to Bo Minghan: "Boss Bo, see you next time. The dormitory will be under curfew soon, so we will go back first."
Bo Minghan raised his hand and said, "See you next time."
Song Huaishu asked in a low voice: "Boss Bo, are you really not going to let An Yu take you there?"
"No need." Bo Minghan smiled, "Just give it to me."
"Ah?" Song Huaishu was stunned for a moment.
Bo Minghan said calmly: "I have some information for you, please give it to me."
"Okay." Song Huaishu gritted his teeth and nodded.
Bo Minghan is targeting An Yu, not him, so what is he afraid of?
Not long after, Bo Minghan's driver also drove over. Song Huaishu supported Bo Minghan, and the two of them sat in the back seat.
For a moment, the carriage was too quiet.
*
In the car.
Yu Bai was still worried, so after thinking about it, he called his elder brother.
"Hello, brother?"
"It's me, your beloved teacher Zhu."
ah?
Yu Bai subconsciously glanced at his phone. He was calling his eldest brother's number.
"I'm with your eldest brother." Zhu Qingchen didn't want to explain too much, so he changed the subject, "Did you have fun? Have you finished your meal?"
Yu Bai pursed his lips: "Not very happy."
"What's wrong?"
"I met Bo Minghan and Song Huaishu."
"I know." Zhu Qingchen said, "An Yu sent me a message. You should be on your way back to school now, right?"
"Ah?" Yu Bai looked at An Yu, and An Yu smiled embarrassedly.
When he first met Bo Minghan, he secretly sent a message to the teacher.
He was just too scared.
"Yes, it's okay, we'll be back soon."
"That's fine." Zhu Qingchen said, "With so many of you, Bo Minghan wouldn't dare to do anything. Bo Minghan should have gone back now, right?"
"He went back." Yu Bai paused, "Song Huaishu sent him back."
There was no sound on the other end of the phone for a while.
Zhu Qingchen seemed to be stunned, and then asked uncertainly: "Did Song Huaishu send him back?"
"Yeah, isn't Song Huaishu an intern at Bo's Group now? It's normal for him to send it, right? Anyway, it's OK as long as we are not allowed to do so."
*
Song Huaishu thought so too.
As an intern, it is normal to send your boss home.
The car stopped in front of the Bo family villa, and Song Huaishu helped Bo Minghan get out of the car.
Bo Minghan was quite drunk, with one arm on his shoulder, and he could hardly walk steadily.
Song Huaishu helped him to the door and unlocked it with his fingerprint.
The door of the villa opened and the lights came on automatically.
Bo Minghan was placed on the sofa. He raised his hand and rubbed his brows. He seemed to be still conscious: "Huai Shu, pour me a glass of water. The kitchen is over there."
"Okay." Song Huaishu hurried to pour water.
After Song Huaishu entered the kitchen, Bo Minghan opened his drunken eyes and took out the 18th birthday gift he had prepared for An Yu from his pocket.
Soon, footsteps were heard and Bo Minghan closed his eyes again.
Song Huaishu brought a cup of warm water and handed it to Bo Minghan: "Boss Bo, drink some water."
Bo Minghan took the cup and took a sip.
Song Huaishu looked at him eagerly: "How is it? Is Mr. Bo feeling better? Do you need to call the family doctor over?"
"Need not."
Bo Minghan drank the water slowly, and Song Huaishu didn't know what to say.
Finally, when Bo Minghan was almost done drinking the water.
Song Huaishu mustered up his courage and said, "Boss Bo, I can still work overtime when I return to the group. Please give me the information you need to process..."
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, there was a loud "clang" and Bo Minghan smashed the glass to the ground.
Glass fragments flew everywhere, and Song Huaishu was so scared that he jumped up from the sofa.
"Boss Bo?"
"Song Huaishu, how dare you drug me!"
The angry shout scared Song Huaishu out of his wits.
"What? Mr. Bo? What did you say? I drugged you? What drug did I give you?"
The next second, Bo Minghan tore off his disguise, pounced forward, held him down tightly, and tore off Song Huaishu's white shirt like a wild beast.
Song Huaishu finally realized what Bo Minghan meant.
He resisted with all his might and tried to explain: "Boss Bo! Boss Bo! You are drunk. You like An Yu. I am not An Yu. I am Song Huaishu..."
Bo Minghan sneered, "Of course I know you are Song Huaishu. Do you think I will remain chaste for An Yu? What are you thinking? An Yu is just a toy for my money, and so are you."
He took out the 18th birthday gift that he had prepared for An Yu and slammed it hard on Song Huaishu's face: "If I didn't get him today, it would be the same if I got you."
Song Huaishu widened his eyes in disbelief: "You... aren't you afraid that I will tell others about this? I will tell everyone about your algorithm..."
Bo Minghan sneered coldly: "What am I afraid of you saying? You made the algorithm, what does it have to do with me? Don't you want to be tied to me? If I sleep with you today, won't we be tied even more tightly?"
Bo Minghan got into the role and slapped Song Huaishu hard in the face.
"Song Huaishu, you drugged me for this, didn't you? I was wondering why you kept pouring me wine during the meal. You were afraid the drug wasn't strong enough, so you also drugged the warm water. It turned out that you had planned this all along! I was kind enough to support you, but you are so ungrateful and still want to be Mrs. Bo?"
Song Huaishu was beaten until he was dizzy and seeing stars. He shouted "Help" incoherently and tried to escape.
But Bo Minghan held him down tightly, making him unable to move, and slapped him on the other side of the face, knocking him unconscious.
Song Huaishu collapsed on the ground like a dead dog.
Bo Minghan opened the gift box in a good mood, took out the gift from it, and was about to unwrap it.
The next second, there was a knock on the door.
"Hello, villa cleaning service."
Bo Minghan shouted, "No need for cleaning, you can leave now!"
No, what kind of cleaning service is needed at night? Where does the cleaning service come from?
Before he had time to think about what was wrong, suddenly, there was a loud "bang" and the villa's security door was pushed open from the outside, and the huge floor-to-ceiling window glass was smashed.
The dazzling searchlight shone on Bo Minghan.
Countless policemen holding steel forks and shields appeared outside the door like gods descending from the sky.
"What are you doing? Put down your weapons right now! Put your hands up!"
Yu Xingzhou, who was standing outside, quickly covered Zhu Qingchen's eyes and said, "Zhu Qingqing, don't look at me, it's disgusting!"
