Some of these people definitely changed their minds after hearing that a wealthy person would cover all the expenses.
Tang Xiaoxiao's smile grew even brighter.
It's good to have a lot of people! Only with a lot of people can that idiot bleed a lot!
She wouldn't be so kind as to book the lowest-class banquet, but to avoid gossip, she didn't go too far. If it were a mid-range standard, the estimated cost per person per day would be around 1,500.
36 people a day would cost nearly 50,000.
They certainly wouldn't just eat and sleep all day. D City has plenty of places to visit: beaches, large amusement parks, bars, KTVs, and clubs that can host pool BBQs. After a few days of crazy fun plus round-trip airfare, that greasy guy wouldn't be able to leave unscathed without spending two or three hundred thousand.
Let him lose a little money first, consider it an appetizer.
October 2nd arrived in the blink of an eye. The agreed time was 4 PM, and we were to meet in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel. Those who arrived early could wander around or rest on their own.
Tang Xiaoxiao drove herself and arrived in D City at 1 p.m. She wasn't the first one there; the vice-gang leader had already arrived that morning. Although someone else had covered the expenses, the vice-gang leader was used to leading everyone in the gang, and he took on the responsibility of arranging everything for this real-life gathering without hesitation.
The deputy leader was a man in his thirties wearing frameless glasses. His name was Gao Yi, and he looked like a company executive, which was indeed the case upon inquiry. The two quickly became acquainted after meeting, after all, they had been partners in the game for nearly a year. Although Gao Yi was also amazed by Tang Xiaoxiao's appearance when he first saw her, he already had a wife and children and was an upright person, so he did not show any abnormality.
After 2 o'clock, members began to arrive one after another. When they met, they introduced themselves with their game IDs. The members who arrived all looked very young. Indeed, most of the gamers are still in school, and only students can spend so much time online without any worries.
Even if adults have time to play games, most of them won't attend any parties; they are very pragmatic.
Since most of the people are young, the atmosphere is easy to liven up, and there is not much awkwardness as it would be to meet someone for the first time.
At 3:10, Han Yunqi entered the hotel.
He was wearing a white tracksuit today, looking like a young man still in school, full of energy.
In fact, he had only graduated a year ago and had been helping out at home, so he hadn't been exposed to too much of the social atmosphere.
Han Yunqi usually got along well with everyone in the guild in the game, and he was quite looking forward to this gathering. He walked into the hotel lobby with a smile and saw a group of people gathered together, especially a small flag that was raised high with the words "Brotherhood Alliance" written on it in big letters, which was very eye-catching.
Tang Xiaoxiao was speechless at this little flag. It was the vice-captain's idea, and it was incredibly tacky. Even senior citizen tour groups don't use it like this anymore, yet the vice-captain thought it looked pretty good.
The aesthetic sense of straight men is truly a disaster.
Han Yunqi walked up happily and greeted everyone with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am 'Lonely Cloud Goes Leisurely'."
Everyone looked over and greeted him warmly. Han Yunqi listened to the self-introductions of the people next to him with a smile. Suddenly, his eyes swept around and he noticed Tang Xiaoxiao, who had been sitting on the sofa without getting up, and whose view had been blocked by the crowd.
With a "boom!", he felt something explode in his head.
What is she doing here?!
Is she also a member of the union?
Tang Xiaoxiao?
Laugh? ? ?
So, the girl Xiaoxiao in the game is her?!
Seeing Han Yunqi frozen in shock, Tang Xiaoxiao suppressed the urge to laugh and pretended to stare at him in astonishment.
The two stared at each other from a distance, neither saying a word. Gradually, those around them noticed that something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" someone asked in a low voice.
Tang Xiaoxiao broke the silence first, saying, "It's nothing, I was just a little surprised to see an acquaintance."
After saying that, he stood up, came to Han Yunqi, and extended his hand, saying, "I didn't expect that 'Lone Cloud Goes Alone' would be you. What a coincidence. I am 'Xiaoxiao'."
Han Yunqi swallowed hard, reached out and shook her hand, and said with a wry smile, "Yes, what a coincidence, I didn't expect it either."
He said that, but in his heart he wanted to slap himself twice.
How could I be so stupid! They have the same name, and I didn't even make that connection before!
Thinking back to how he had once told the other person in the game, "I've fallen for a girl, and coincidentally, her name is also Xiaoxiao," and how he had revealed so many of his feelings, he now just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Oh my god, someone tell him what to do now QAQ
With so many people around, it wasn't a good time to talk, and we also needed to give Han Yunqi time to calm down. Tang Xiaoxiao didn't say anything more, just gave him a meaningful look before turning to talk to someone else.
But that one glance made Han Yunqi's heart skip a beat.
She remembered now, didn't she?
The things I said in the game...
What will she think?
What should I do? I really want to run away...
While leaving Han Yunqi to agonize over his own thoughts, Tang Xiaoxiao was still tallying the number of people and their travel expenses, which she was going to get reimbursed by that idiot for—not a penny less.
They said "idiot" and it arrived.
It was nearly four o'clock when a short, middle-aged man walked over with his head held high and chest puffed out.
The middle-aged man was no more than 170 cm tall. He wore a dark blue suit that didn't seem to fit him well; it was rather baggy. His hair was slicked back and meticulously combed. He had an ordinary appearance, but his chin was held very high.
