A short while later, Shi Yue also returned. She showed no signs of distress. After glancing at Liu Qingmeng, who was lying on Wang Xinghe's lap, she sat down and began to eat.
After a hearty meal and drinks, the teachers and students got quite drunk and started urging Teacher Lu to stand on the stage and sing a song.
"Teacher Lu, could you sing one?"
"Yes, Teacher Lu, please sing one for me, you sing so well."
"Teacher Lu, this gathering won't be complete without you singing a song!"
"Okay! Since everyone says so, I'll start, and we can all sing together, okay?"
"What are you singing, Teacher Lu?"
"Yes, Teacher Lu, what should we sing!"
"How about we sing 'Youth'? Everyone should remember it, right? That's our class song."
"Teacher, how could we forget? Come on, teacher, you start!"
"Okay, then I'll start!"
The deafening sound was like a memory, or perhaps a longing for the future.
Liu Qingmeng also woke up.
"What's wrong? Stars, why are you making so much noise?"
"How are you now? It's almost over."
"I feel much better. Did I drink a lot just now?"
"What do you think? I only went to the bathroom for a short while, and when I came back you were drunk."
"I didn't expect that liquor to be so strong. I only drank a little bit, and I got drunk right away."
"Alright, get up now."
"Xingxing, are your legs numb? How did I fall asleep on your lap?"
"That's all because of you. I told you to rest on the table for a bit, but you insisted on lying on my lap."
"Okay, so the students didn't say anything, right?"
"No, what is there to say?"
"nothing."
After the song ended, Teacher Lu announced that today's class reunion had come to a successful conclusion, and advised everyone to be careful on their way home.
"Let's go, Wang Xinghe, let's pay the bill."
Li Zheng just roughly estimated that it should have cost about one million, which is 500,000 per person. He had 200,000 on him, 100,000 in his secret stash, and he borrowed another 300,000 from his friends, so he had 600,000 on hand, which should be enough.
"Don't worry, I won't run away. Call the waiter over, let's pay the bill."
"Gentlemen, I am Manager Hu from Ningjiang Hotel. It is my pleasure to serve you. This is our hotel's Black Gold Card. Cardholders enjoy all the privileges of Black Gold members."
"I heard your hotel's Black Gold members are really impressive, right?"
"Of course, our hotel's Black Gold members get a 10% discount on their bill and enjoy unlimited privileges. Today, you two can use your Black Gold membership privileges for your purchase."
"Let's calculate how much we spent."
"Hello, distinguished guests. Your total bill is 5.8 million yuan. After a 10% discount, it is 5.22 million yuan. How would you like to pay?"
"How much?! 5.22 million? Are you kidding me! We didn't order that much!"
"Sir, do you want to dine and dash?" Upon hearing this, Manager Hu's face immediately darkened.
"Manager Hu, we only had five tables of food, and the wine was only worth about 800,000 yuan. How did it come to 5.8 million yuan? One million yuan for a table of food?"
"Yes, sir, you have ordered all the dishes from our secret menu. The average price of a dish on our secret menu is 80,000 yuan, so the total cost for this table is one million yuan."
"Impossible! Is your Ningjiang Grand Hotel planning to bully its customers because of its size? Are these dishes made of gold? This is more expensive than gold!" Li Zheng was completely shocked and couldn't believe the price.
Even if it's half of 5.22 million, it would still be 2.61 million. He only has 600,000, so how is he going to make up the other 2 million?
"What happened?" The argument between Li Zheng and his classmates attracted the attention of the teachers, who all gathered around.
"This gentleman is planning to dine and dash!"
"Dine and dash? What's going on, Brother Zheng? How much did it cost?"
"The Ningjiang Hotel is taking advantage of its size and arrogance. They said we spent over five million yuan, how is that possible! A meal can cost over five million yuan?"
"Sir, everything at our Ningjiang Hotel is clearly priced. If you don't believe me, you can sue us. But you can't leave until you settle your bill today."
"Wang Xinghe, was the food really that expensive when you ordered it just now?"
"Yes, it is that expensive."
"Who told you to order such expensive dishes?"
"It's not like you said. It's rare for us to get together, so I ordered something a bit more expensive. You can't afford it, can you?"
"Who says I can't afford it? I don't have that much money on me. I'll make a phone call."
As he spoke, Li Zheng took out his phone.
"Dad, give me two million."
"Give you my ass! You spendthrift! Your family is in trouble, and you still want two million? Is it because of you, you good-for-nothing, that I got into this mess?"
"Dad, give me two million first. I'll settle things here and go back immediately."
"Didn't you go out to eat? Two hundred thousand isn't enough? What kind of lousy meal costs two million? Did you eat at the Kyoto Grand Hotel?"
"No, we spent over five million at the Ningjiang Hotel, and we're still two million short."
"I have no money! Our Li Group is going to be finished! You still want money from me? Get out of here and don't ever say you're my son again!"
After he finished speaking, the phone went dead.
Li Zheng quickly called back, only to find that he had been blocked.
"Wang Xinghe, tell me, did you do it?!"
"What do you mean I did it? What did I do? We've been eating here the whole time. If you can't afford it, step aside and I'll pay."
"You think I can't afford it? Can you afford it? Everyone here knows your situation. What makes you think you can come up with more than two million?"
"Li Zheng, right? You should go and manage your family company first. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll receive news of your family's bankruptcy in an hour. Manager Hu, swipe the card." Liu Qingmeng directly took out a black card.
Upon seeing the black card, Manager Hu's attitude immediately became extremely respectful.
"Okay, you can just swipe here."
"By the way, we'll only pay half, and ask him for the other half. If he can't pay, your hotel can take legal action."
"Yes, miss."
After swiping her card on the POS machine, Liu Qingmeng casually put the card into her pocket, then linked arms with Wang Xinghe, seemingly not caring at all.
"You did all of this? Our family is going bankrupt because of you?"
"You have repeatedly spoken rudely to Xinghe; this is just a small punishment for you."
"No! How could this happen? How could this be!"
"Security, take him away! Notify his family to come and pick him up. If he has no money, send him to the police station!"
"No! Shi Yue, do you have any money? Lend me two million first."
