"Wait a moment, I'll make a phone call first."
Hao Nianlei said, forcing herself to speak.
"Yes, miss."
The waiter left the private room.
He noticed Hao Nianlei's embarrassment, but as someone who had spent years working in KTVs, he had long since developed the ability to keep his emotions hidden.
Pointing out the guest's embarrassment would only make everyone else lose face; he's not that foolish.
Just watch the show and quietly wait outside the private room.
Hao Nianlei dialed Chen Feng's phone number twice more, but the result was the same.
"Um... I've run into a little trouble. Could you help me raise some money? I'll definitely pay you back as soon as possible."
The dim lighting in the private room shone on Hao Nianlei's face, making her look like a clown.
The girls immediately became excited.
"Help you raise the money?"
"Nianlei, are you kidding us?"
"We only came because you said you'd treat us, so why are you asking us to crowdfund when it comes time to pay the bill?"
Seeing that the girls were criticizing her and had no intention of raising money, Hao Nianlei gave up pretending.
"Anyway, I don't have enough money to pay the bill. Either we all work together, pay the bill, and leave, or we just stay here and wait. You decide what to do."
Several girls had shifty eyes and complicated, unreadable expressions.
There was anger at Hao Nianlei's shamelessness, and also heartache for the impending "heavy bleeding";
But more than anything, it was resentment towards Chen Feng!
It's all that damn simp's fault!
If he hadn't stood Hao Nianlei up, how could they have ended up in this situation?
But just a second before the girls were about to resign themselves to paying, Wang Zhe stood up.
"It's just a 2,000 yuan bill, I'll pay it."
Hao Nianlei was taken aback. "Is this... alright? After all, you didn't sing a single song or eat any snacks..."
"So what?"
Wang Zhe said affectionately, "Being able to stay by your side is a blessing from heaven."
Hao Nianlei said shyly, "How could I possibly accept this..."
Several girls rolled their eyes, thinking to themselves, "You can get that simp Chen Feng to come and pay the bill, but you're too embarrassed to let Wang Zhe treat you? What are you pretending to be, you innocent flower!"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Wang Zhe gazed at Hao Nianlei and said, "It's my honor to pay for you."
Upon hearing this, several girls immediately started to tease them.
"Wang Zhe, do you like Nian Lei?"
"Is that even a question? What Wang Zhe just said was no different from a veiled confession."
"Tsk tsk tsk, Nian Lei is really charming. Before school has even officially started, she has already made Wang Zhe completely infatuated."
"Wang Zhe is not only handsome, but also generous. Nian Lei, you should cherish him!"
Several girls were scared.
I'm afraid that if I don't pair Hao Nianlei and Wang Zhe together, I'll have to pay out of my own pocket.
Wang Zhe called the waiter to swipe his card to pay the bill, and then walked out amidst the teasing of several girls.
Several girls sensibly took their leave first, and soon only Wang Zhe and Hao Nianlei remained in front of the Shengshi KTV.
"Nianlei, where do you live? I'll take you home."
The Ancient City Finance Department has not officially started classes yet, and the dormitories are not yet open. Students like Hao Nianlei who have registered early can only rent rooms in hotels off-campus.
However……
Hao Nianlei did not answer Wang Zhe's question, but instead covered her face with her hands and sobbed incessantly.
"Nianlei, why are you crying?"
"I...I'm so embarrassed today!"
"Because of that guy named Chen Feng?"
Wang Zhe asked a question he already knew the answer to.
"Um."
Hao Nianlei nodded.
"It's okay, I'll help you get revenge."
Wang Zhe smiled slightly, "Tomorrow is the first day of school. I'm going to make him lose face in front of the whole class and get revenge for you!"
...
The following morning, Chen Feng and Li Xiaogang checked out of the hotel.
Li Xiaogang carried the two's luggage to Chenxi Yaju, while Chen Feng picked up Li Wanwan and headed straight to the home appliance store.
Unfortunately, after browsing for a long time, Chen Feng didn't encounter even a single salesperson who looked down on him, which made him extremely unhappy, as he was somewhat addicted to "zero-yuan purchases".
"Chen Feng, are you feeling unwell?"
Li Wanwan blinked her big, bright eyes and asked, "Why do you look like you're in pain?"
Chen Feng put down the price tag that indicated the high price and turned to Li Wanwan, asking, "Little rich girl, could you make a call to your father?"
"Call my father?"
Li Wanwan clearly didn't understand Chen Feng's intention. "Do you want to see him about something?"
"I want to ask him if he has any investment in this home appliance mall."
"???"
Just then, a sudden, urgent ringing sound rang out.
Chen Feng took out his phone and glanced at it; it was a call from Li Xiaogang.
"Hey, Lao Li, what's up?"
Chen Feng answered the call and put the phone to his ear.
"Nothing much, just reporting on my work progress."
Li Xiaogang's voice came over, "The two houses in Chenxi Yaju have been cleaned. I also called the telecommunications company to install broadband in both houses, as you requested."
"You don't need to report to me specifically."
Chen Feng smiled and said, "I trust you to handle things."
"Old Chen, there's one more thing."
"you say."
"Our class is having a reunion at noon today, are you going?"
