Chapter 418 The Clown is Himself
He called the manager over, his eyes darting back and forth between Shen Xing and the restaurant manager, and finally asked hesitantly, "What do you mean?"
Exempted? Why?
"What do you mean?" Shen Xing asked back.
"What does 'exempt' mean?"
Shen Xing looked at him, a hint of teasing sarcasm in his eyes: "Literally."
Not wanting to waste time talking to the other party, Shen Xing called Shi Jingming and Jiang Ran who were still in a daze and was about to leave.
But how could the other party let it go?
He was clearly making fun of these people, so what happened in the end? Forget it?
"Speak clearly!" The man stopped Shen Xing and the others, turned to look at the restaurant manager and asked, "This bottle of wine costs twelve dollars, and I only paid six. Why don't you let him pay the rest?"
The restaurant manager glanced at Shen Xing's expression. Since the man in front of him was also a senior member, he could only smile and say, "Don't worry, sir. We will record your compensation faithfully. You don't need to worry about the rest. We won't ask you to pay anything extra."
After hearing what the manager said, the boy felt more and more that something was wrong.
This is not a matter of overpaying, the other party didn’t pay at all!
"Why can't he pay?" The boy kept nagging, and a feeling of being fooled suddenly came over him.
The restaurant manager glanced at Shen Xing again, and when he saw Shen Xing nodded slightly, he said truthfully: "Because Mr. Shen is our Shuiyunjian Supreme Black Gold Card."
"Wh-what card?"
"Supreme Black Gold Card!" the restaurant manager repeated.
The boy suddenly flew into a rage and yelled, "Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think this is my first time here? The highest membership level here is Diamond. How can there be a Supreme Black Gold Card?"
"Sir, don't be angry. It is true that there are some, but the number is extremely small. Moreover, the Supreme Black Gold Card is not open to ordinary members for upgrading. You are right. The highest level of ordinary members is indeed the Diamond Card."
After the manager’s explanation, the boy was stunned.
He looked at Shen Xing, a boy who was almost the same age as him. Was he the "Supreme Black Gold Card" here?
but……
No matter what card you use, you still have to pay for your purchases, right?
"Can the Black Gold Card exempt me from the six dollars?" The boy was not giving up and paid all the money!
This time, before the manager could speak, Shen Xing quietly interrupted, "Not only can I get rid of the six dollars just now, but I can also get rid of all the other expenses I make here."
"What?" The boy looked incredulous.
Seeing his expression, Shi Jingming felt very happy and snorted coldly: "Because this is his home!"
The boy was shocked as if struck by lightning and stood there in shock.
So, for this bottle of wine, even if he doesn't take the initiative to pay for the six dollars and puts all the responsibility on the girl, she can still get it for free without having to spend a penny?
So he was so immersed in the game that he was the only one who lost six dollars in the end?
As a result, the wine was broken and he had to pay for it!
In the end, he himself was the clown!
The mocking expression on Shen Xing's face deepened by three points. He had long seen through the other party's malicious behavior. If it were somewhere else, he might have succeeded.
But this is Shuiyunjian, his sister's territory, and he won't suffer any loss here.
"Let's go." Shen Xing looked at Jiang Ran and Shi Jingming and greeted them.
"Dude, are you kidding me?"
Shen Xing looked at the person standing in front of him, his eyes darkening. "I can't say I'm playing tricks on you. It's just that your own calculations didn't work."
The other person's gaze was captivating, staring at Shen Xing's face intently, but in the end he could only swallow his anger.
"Okay, it's just a bottle of wine, I can afford it."
Shen Xing snorted coldly when he heard this, and walked away without paying any attention to the other party.
Shi Jingming also glared at the other person fiercely, only Jiang Ran lowered her head slightly when passing by.
The boy looked at the backs of the people walking away, and for a while he was so angry that he laughed at himself.
Since he was a child, he has relied on his good family background and his parents' love to play such pranks. Today is the first time he has failed.
Okay, Shen Xing, right? He remembered it.
Shen Xing and the others returned to their seats. Jiang Ran raised her head with her eyes slightly red.
"Shen Xing, how much of this wine is missing? I'll make up for it."
Just because this is Shen Xing's sister's place, she can't accept Shen Xing's free meal with peace of mind.
"I know what kind of person you are. Don't worry. I'll ask."
Shen Xing raised his hand and called the manager over: "How much did you pay for that bottle of wine?"
“Uh, Mr. Shen, wait a moment, I’ll check.”
Not long after, the manager came back and whispered a number in Shen Xing's ear. Shen Xing smiled and said, "Thank you very much. You can get back to your work."
Jiang Ran and Shi Jingming looked at Shen Xing who suddenly smiled and couldn't help but look at each other inexplicably.
"Xing, what are you laughing at?"
Shen Xing smiled and said, "The manager just told me that the purchase price of that bottle of wine is about three to four yuan. Because of different years and batches, the price will fluctuate slightly, but it won't exceed four yuan!"
Shi Jingming was delighted when he heard this: "So, that means the six dollars that guy just paid out has exceeded the original cost of this bottle of wine?"
Shen Xing nodded with a smile in his eyes, then looked at Jiang Ran: "Look, I told you not to worry, my sister didn't lose any money."
"The price of a bottle of wine has tripled?" Jiang Ran was a little shocked, and also a little skeptical: "Shen Xing, you didn't deliberately lower the price to prevent me from losing money, did you?"
"Not really. If I really wanted to lie to you, what if I told you it was five yuan? Wouldn't that make you believe it?" Shen Xing explained, "But that's the truth. Wine that costs less than four yuan has to cost several times more because it's in Shuiyunjian. For example, the Coke here is fourteen times the price of a bottle in a supermarket."
Jiang Ran: “…”
Shi Jingming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, Jiang Ran, don't think too much about it. That idiot has already paid the money. Xing obviously had something on his mind and was deliberately trying to piss that guy off. Seeing how cocky he was just now, I wanted to punch him."
"Yes, that person doesn't care about these few dollars at all, let alone a bottle of wine. He is just a mean person and deliberately provoked you." Shen Xing said it out loud.
Jiang Ran originally felt that the broken wine was strange, but when she calmed down and thought about it, it seemed that it was really the other party who touched her.
Seeing Jiang Ran still thinking, Shen Xing immediately changed the subject and said, "Let's not continue eating, shall we? Let's save some space for coffee and dessert on the revolving terrace on the rooftop?"
Shi Jingming nodded in agreement: "Okay, eating sweets makes you feel good, and it can get rid of the bad luck you just got. Jiang Ran, eat more!"
Jiang Ran could see that the two were deliberately creating an atmosphere. She was touched but also did not want to be disappointed. She simply put what had just happened behind her and said, "Let's go!"
It’s the end of the month, please support me with your monthly tickets!
