Chapter 10: 50% off
"Girls are free, and boys split the bill. Is that okay?" Li Yuxuan leaned back in the center of the booth sofa and turned his head to raise his chin to Fang Yu and Huang Xiang.
"Then thank you, gentlemen." Xu Chen showed his two fangs and clasped his hands in a lucky cat-like bow, which made his expression more charming.
"Yuxuan is still so generous~ Come on, give me a mua." Wang Youran giggled and blew a kiss to Li Yuxuan.
"That's not good~" Zhou Siqiao seemed a little embarrassed. "My family gave me living expenses next month, I'll return the money to you."
"What are you talking about? How can you let a girl spend money?" Li Yuxuan waved his hand. "What's that guy's name? Oh, right, Wang Xiang. Right? Wang Xiang?"
As one of Zhou Siqiao's suitors, Li Yuxuan certainly knew Huang Xiang.
He had inquired about it a long time ago, and found out that Huang Xiang's family background was actually not much different from his. Li Yuxuan's family had an advertising company in Fenghuang County, and Huang Xiang's father was the deputy general manager of a certain enterprise in the communications industry in Haixi County, and he was considered to have some influence in Haixi County.
In terms of assets, Li Yuxuan's family may be slightly stronger, but in terms of connections, influence and available resources, there is a big gap between them and Huang Xiang's family.
Li Yuxuan acted as if he looked down on Huang Xiang, but in fact he had already regarded Huang Xiang as his main competitor.
A strong woman is afraid of a clingy man, and the other party's family is not poor. Although this guy is stupid, what if he really moves Zhou Siqiao?
He couldn't miss any opportunity to embarrass Huang Xiang and had to damage his image in Zhou Siqiao's mind to the greatest extent possible. This was Li Yuxuan's established strategy.
Li Yuxuan had secretly asked Wang Youran before this and learned that Fang Yu was Huang Xiang's roommate and was pulled here by Huang Xiang, so he had a plan in mind.
If Huang Xiang didn't agree, these girls would all have opinions about him.
If Huang Xiang agrees, it depends on whether Huang Xiang will give Fang Yu's share.
If Huang Xiang paid out, then two-thirds of today's money would have been spent by Huang Xiang. He spent extra money but got nothing in return. When the women talked privately about it, they would all think Huang Xiang was stupid.
If Huang Xiang had not paid Fang Yu's share, the relationship between the two roommates would have been strained, and Huang Xiang would have been on the verge of being abandoned by everyone.
Regardless of whether Huang Xiang agreed or not, paid more or less, in the end the only person the girls thanked was Li Yuxuan who suggested that the girls get it for free.
"My last name is Huang... Well, I'll pay for Fang Yu's share." Huang Xiang said weakly.
It was obvious that this guy had no idea what Li Yuxuan was going to do.
As expected, hehe. Li Yuxuan was secretly proud of himself when he saw Fang Yu, who had been leaning on the sofa, eating sunflower seeds and fiddling with a three-level Rubik's Cube in his hand, spit out the sunflower seed shells and waved to the young man who was taking orders with a pad.
"Wait a minute." Fang Yu, who had been silent the whole time, stopped Huang Xiang and asked the bartender to come over. "Come here and show me the pad."
Magic? I didn't even think of using magic to deal with Sun Yang, so why would I need to use magic to deal with such a small Sith?
Li Yuxuan was stunned. What was this guy up to? Perhaps he was thinking of cutting down on his spending because it was too high? He looked tall and strong, and his clothes weren't very good, so he must be broke. Perfect, this would show how generous we are.
Li Yuxuan raised his eyebrows and said with a crooked mouth: "Brother, this consumption is not too high, is it? What I ordered is not excessive. We are out to play, and there are so many girls around. Can you not be so stingy?"
Fang Yu ignored him, threw the three-layer Rubik's Cube on the table, took the pad from the bar boy, and swiped it casually.
"What kind of bullshit is this? If you can't afford Macallan whiskey, you can drink Japanese whiskey, but you can't drink Holiday Whisky either."
"Togochi, give me Hakushu, the 12-year-old single malt."
"No more Evian. That whiskey is useless. Just a dozen sodas instead. Whoever wants some bubbly whiskey can add it themselves."
"Change the fruit plate to your colorful holiday fruit tart, and the ice bucket to ice cubes. I want solid ice."
"Okay, let's do this for now and see how much it is."
Fang Yu was so full of arrogance that he frightened the young boys and girls who had never seen the world. Huang Xiang was even more disgusted and looked at Fang Yu with admiration.
Damn, this is so fucking social.
"Hello, the total is 5420. Would you like to pay by card or cash?" The bartender asked cautiously. He saw that there were many customers and understood at that time that these were two groups trying to show off.
Li Yuxuan looked a little embarrassed, and raised his head to stare at Fang Yu: "Brother, what do you mean?"
Fang Yu leaned back on the sofa and glanced at Li Yuxuan out of the corner of his eye.
"It's not interesting. If you ask me, let's do this. There's no need for guys to split the bill and girls to go free. You guys should buy the wine today, and my brother will buy your share too. It's just right for us to split it in half."
"Is everything all right?"
Hearing Fang Yu's words, Zhou Siqiao's eyes flickered, as if thinking about something.
Li Yuxuan almost couldn't catch his breath.
After Fang Yu did this, his painstaking efforts to embarrass Huang Xiang were definitely ruined, and even the women might not thank him in the end.
Fang Yu just ordered a bunch of things, which was twice as expensive as the original bill. No one can say that he is stingy.
On the contrary, if you don’t agree, you will be the one who pretends to be cool but gets slapped in the face.
Compared to the previous situation where girls paid for free and boys paid AA, Huang Xiang didn't spend much more money, but he actually spent nearly two thousand more.
Moreover, why did the tone of this guy's last sentence, "Is it okay?", sound so annoying?
Who is this guy? How come he's even more pretentious than me?
And they pretended that it was free, talking so generously, but in the end they didn’t spend a penny.
I didn't suffer any loss, I didn't suffer any loss, they also spent more, they also spent more.
Li Yuxuan kept hypnotizing himself in his mind.
Otherwise I won't be able to calm down.
"Alright." Li Yuxuan bit his back teeth and forced a smile. "Waiter, swipe the card."
The POS machine was making a creaking sound as it printed the order. Li Yuxuan felt that the sound was exactly like the sound coming from between his teeth.
"I swiped 2,700, and I'll ask them to swipe the rest." Li Yuxuan stared at Fang Yu fiercely and asked the young master to ask Huang Xiang to swipe the card.
Li Yuxuan's family has some assets, but he is a student after all. His family gives him 6,000 yuan a month for living expenses, and he may have tens of thousands of yuan in pocket money and savings. 2,700 yuan is not a small amount for him.
Although Huang Xiang spent a thousand more, he felt that it was totally worth it. He felt inexplicably relieved and took out his wallet to swipe his card.
"Wait a moment." Fang Yu stopped Huang Xiang again.
Li Yuxuan glared with his watery eyes and grinned, "What's wrong? You're not so reluctant to part with even this little money, are you? Or is there no money in your card? If you don't have any, I can lend you some."
Fang Yu picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers. Within a few seconds, the other party answered the call.
"Xiao Yu, why did you think of calling me?" A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Fang Yu said lightly, "Sister Le Sheng, a few friends and I are here to hang out at your place. We're all students, so please give us a discount."
"You're in Womb? Why didn't you tell me in advance? I'll go over there later. What discount? I'll talk to Awen and just put it on my account." The woman on the other end of the phone was very straightforward.
Fang Yu chuckled and said meaningfully, "No need to come over, just say hello. It's not my expense, so I'll give you a 50% discount. By the way, you can serve the wine as usual."
"I understand. Give the phone to the young master and I'll talk to him. By the way, don't drink too much." The woman on the other end of the phone warned.
Fang Yu responded and handed the phone to the bartender who was still waiting. The bartender picked up the phone, whispered a few words to the woman, and then respectfully returned the phone to Fang Yu.
"Mr. Xu has given all the instructions. The bill has been taken and the food will be here soon. I wish you and your friends a happy time at Womb." The bartender bowed slightly and was about to turn and leave.
Everyone was stunned. Li Yuxuan's mind was racing. What did that mean? A 50% discount? So he was the only one being taken advantage of, and everyone else didn't spend a cent, right?
Zhou Siqiao leaned to the side and adjusted her bun. This wasn't her first time at the bar; she'd been to Womb at least ten times, and she'd never heard of Womb giving anyone a discount.
Zhou Siqiao thought to himself that he needed to adjust his attitude towards Huang Xiang and Fang Yu.
I don’t have to pay anymore? Huang Xiang looked at the young master with a confused look on his face, then at Fang Yu. Li Yuxuan seemed to have been… ripped off?
"Wait a minute." Fang Yu called the young master again. Li Yuxuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard it. He began to feel a little allergic to these two words.
Fang Yu took out a ten-yuan note and a hundred-yuan note from Huang Xiang's wallet.
"5420 with a 50% discount is 2710. We just spent 2700, and we still need 10 yuan. The other 100 yuan is your tip." Fang Yu stuffed the money into the young master's hand with a smile on his face.
Li Yuxuan almost vomited blood. This was too much bullying!
Li Yuxuan suppressed his anger and told himself to calm down. He gave an ugly smile and said, "Brother, you have a lot of connections. Do you know the boss here?"
Thinking that he had spent 2,700 yuan and Fang Yu was just pretending to be so arrogant, Li Yuxuan wanted to die.
Are you going to fall out with Fang Yu? Whether you can beat him or not is another matter, but it's obvious that he's more successful in this place than you are, and in the end, you'll definitely be the one who suffers.
Should I just walk away? Then my 2700 yuan would be wasted, and I would be completely taken advantage of.
And no matter what choice I make, I have already lost face. I can only wait and see if there is a chance to turn the situation around later.
Fang Yu crossed her legs and said lightly, "Ordinary friends are kind-hearted and think that I am a student, which is not easy."
Knock on you, do you think I’m stupid? I give student cards half price! ?
When this was said, not only Three Cups of Green Tea and Li Yuxuan, but even the naive Huang Xiang thought it was too ridiculous.
Fang Yu looked calm, and thought to himself that this idiot would probably act up again soon.
"Wow, there are fireworks, so beautiful."
As a qualified staple tea, Zhou Siqiao certainly couldn't let the atmosphere continue to be tense, so he took the initiative to change the subject.
A team of waiters holding cold fireworks led the way, and in the middle of the team was a wine basket nearly half a meter long filled with three bottles of wine.
Two bottles were of Baizhou ordered by Fang Yu, and there was also a bottle of beautifully shaped champagne, with eight cold fireworks also inserted in the wine basket.
"Have fun, bosses! Let's go fxxking crazy! On the felling trapped this right now! The Womb fireworks show starts now!"
Led by an MC, a group of bar boys lowered their voices and shouted incoherently, and it was almost impossible to hear what they were saying.
A bartender was seen juggling several cold fireworks shaped like wine bottles. Sometimes they tumbled up and down, sometimes they danced side to side, sometimes they transformed into hot wheels, sometimes into golden hoop sticks. Xu Chen and Wang Youran both pulled out their phones and began recording.
I guess in ten minutes there will be a new video with text in their circle of friends.
Fireworks fade quickly, cold wine makes you drunk easily. I'm in Womb, where are you?
As soon as the fireworks show ended, the bartender picked up the bottle of champagne and said to Fang Yu, "Brother Fang, this bottle of Spade Ace is a gift from Mr. Xu. Please come back if you need anything~"
