The loud "thud" startled everyone.
Xie Li was also stunned. Were these people all idiots? How could they just bow down like that?
Actually, the boy who bowed down had twisted his ankle while squeezing through the crowd and pretended to fall in front of everyone.
He thought for a moment, since he had already lost face in public, why not use this trick to defuse the embarrassment? Maybe, just maybe, it would actually work?
He had no baggage and acted immediately, putting down his other leg as well, kneeling down in front of Xie Li with a "thud".
Seeing everyone staring at him, he felt a little embarrassed, "I even knelt down before Young Master He from the Rocket Class..."
Before he could finish speaking, the crowd erupted.
"Good heavens, cunning, despicable, sly!"
"They actually got to be the first to worship the deity! Oh my god, I want to be the first one too, they say the first incense offered is the most effective!"
...
"The first incense stick is the most effective?!" Xie Li was speechless and had to speak up to stop them: "Everyone, get up!"
He turned to the staff and smiled, "It's okay, don't worry about them, just keep swiping your card."
The staff, befitting a five-star hotel, maintained a professional smile throughout. While swiping the card with the POS machine, they said, "Your students are so lively! Youth is wonderful... The total is 13,000 yuan. Here is the receipt. Thank you for your patronage."
Outside the crowd, Qian Shujian was equally dumbfounded.
He frowned, turned his head and exchanged a glance with Jiang Yifan and the others, both of them with disbelief in their eyes!
What kind of bewitching potion did Xie Li give these people? They have no emotions at all, and instead they fawn over Xie Li. Have they gone mad?
Qian Shujian wanted to say something, but after shouting for a long time, he found that no one paid any attention to him.
Instead, he was so angry at being ignored that he almost died, and his face became increasingly gloomy.
"Why are you all fawning over Xie Li like this? She's earned millions but won't even treat you to afternoon tea. Isn't that blatant disdain for you? Why aren't you angry?"
Unlike Jiang Yifan, Qian Shujian was not good at suppressing his emotions, and he finally couldn't hold back and exploded.
Finally, someone paid attention to him.
The lackey rolled his eyes. "Hey, are you crazy? Why are you always looking for trouble?"
"Why? Because we have sound values!"
"Why should Li Shen have to pay for today's meal just because he made money gambling on stones? My brother Ying has already said enough. Jiang Baili said she was going to treat us today. What does it have to do with me, Li Shen?"
"If we follow your logic, then I'll be busy currying favors and treating people every day, and then have my classmates who have high-earning families and good connections pay the bill. I'll get the good reputation, but you'll pay the price. Would you be happy with that?"
"By the way, putting aside the distant past, Ming Xiaoxiao was the winner yesterday, with 30,000 yuan in cash and a jade pendant worth 500,000 yuan. Why didn't she say she was treating everyone?"
Ming Xiaoxiao kept her head down, eating the cake as if it were incredibly delicious, so delicious that she was completely absorbed in it.
Suddenly hearing the sound of fire burning her, she froze, her face turning pale instantly.
"I...I..." Seeing more and more eyes looking at her, Ming Xiaoxiao bit her lip. "I'm sorry, I have an elderly grandmother to take care of, I can't...I'm sorry!"
She looked like she was about to cry, embarrassed and heartbroken, as if she was really in a difficult situation, which was heartbreaking to see.
Jiang Yifan couldn't help but say, "Xiaoxiao's family isn't well-off, and she has to save the money she earns to support her grandmother, just like Xie Lineng?"
The lackey gasped in surprise, covering his mouth, and said in a sly tone, "But aren't you Ming Xiaoxiao's best friends? If Ming Xiaoxiao doesn't want to pay, your family is rich, you can pay!"
