In response, Bai Tao just rolled his eyes at Ning Xin. How could he not know what was going on with Li Mu? In his opinion, Li Mu must have had some adventures in the past two days. He was very curious and wanted to go drink with Li Mu and listen to him bragging, but he really couldn't let go of the begging sounds here.
After weighing it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said to Li Mu: "Old Li, I spent 3,000 yuan on this position, the price for one day. To tell you the truth, I have already recovered my investment in the first half of today, but there are two peaks at noon and in the afternoon. I won't blackmail you. Just give me 5,000 yuan."
Li Mu laughed in anger when he heard this. Bai Tao really asked for too much! 5,000 was considered a friendly price? He invited Bai Tao to a big meal and wanted to help him, but Bai Tao actually asked for 5,000!
Although 5,000 yuan was not much in Li Mu's eyes, he had given Bai Tao 20,000 or 30,000 yuan in the morning, but it was definitely not a small amount. You have to know that Kunpeng had only accumulated more than 2,000 Chaos Stones in 800 years, and according to Bai Tao, he could beg nearly 10,000 yuan a day. A begging spot rented out for a day costs 3,000 yuan? Kunpeng's 800 years of savings is not enough for a beggar to rent a begging spot for a day?
This is indeed a bit exaggerated, and Li Mu couldn't help but doubt its authenticity.
Ning Xin was also full of doubts. Li Mu was offering her 5,000 yuan a month, which was not a small amount in her opinion. But a beggar could ask for two months' salary in one day? If beggars really made so much money, who would go to work?
Seeing that Li Mu and Ning Xin didn't believe him, Bai Tao got anxious. "I, Bai Tao, was once a person of status. How could I lie to you? Yes, begging 10,000 yuan a day is indeed exaggerated. If it were in our world, I wouldn't even dare to think about it, but this is the fact. This is not our world anymore. Chaos Origin is worthless! Besides, these few days are the assessment period of Shengtian Academy. There are many fools and they will be generous if you say a few nice words. With my years of begging experience, isn't it normal to beg for more money? Otherwise, why do you think I can make back the 3,000 yuan rent in one morning? It's because I have a good eloquence and am proficient in begging!"
In order to make his words more credible, Bai Tao simply took out a cloth bag from his arms and poured out all the money inside: "Look, this is my morning gains, a total of more than 33,000!"
Li Mu was slightly stunned when he saw this. He recognized the 30,000 yuan because he gave it. But was the remaining 3,000 yuan really begged by Bai Tao?
Ning Xin frowned. She now believed that Bai Tao was not bragging, but this was too much. How could they, the hard-working people, feel when they could earn so much money without doing anything?
Li Mu sighed and said, "Okay, I'll give you 5,000, deducted from the 30,000!"
"No, you gave me this 30,000 yuan this morning. In principle, it belongs to me now, and you have no right to distribute it!" Bai Tao's attitude was firm. For him, this was a matter of principle. He had been begging for so many years, and he hated the kind of people who gave him money and still wanted change from his bowl. Aren't you messing with his mentality?
"Okay, I'll give it to you! But I don't have any cash now, I'll get it for you later." Li Mu said helplessly, he really met a terrible person.
After hearing this, Bai Tao smiled and said, "Hey, why bother you, Old Li? I have a QR code here, you can scan it and pay."
Li Mu didn't want to waste any more time talking to Bai Tao, so he just scanned the code and paid.
Only then did Bai Tao reluctantly follow Li Mu away from his begging spot, leave the street in front of the gate of Shengtian Temple, cross a few blocks, and find a high-end restaurant.
The reason why we went so far was because of Bai Tao's suggestion. According to his experience, all kinds of restaurants and inns in popular areas would definitely rip people off. Not only would the food be bad, but the prices would also be extremely expensive. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble if you spent money but still couldn't eat well?
Li Mu felt somewhat comforted by this, at least Bai Tao was still thinking about saving money for him.
But Li Mu was really overthinking it. Bai Tao didn't want to owe Li Mu an expensive meal after not having a good meal.
When it came to ordering food, Bai Tao's impoliteness was revealed. He first asked Li Mu indirectly whether he brought enough money. After getting an affirmative answer from Li Mu, he started to order dishes frantically. His principle was to only order expensive food and not cheap food. After all, cheap things are not good, and expensive things have their reasons. He also ordered expensive wines, including 300-year-old and 500-year-old wines. He would not miss any luxury items available in the restaurant.
After ordering the food and drinks, Bai Tao asked Li Mu again cautiously: "Old Li, is it a big problem?"
Li Mu waved his hand lightly.
Bai Tao was relieved when he saw this. Although he had repeatedly told the shopkeeper that Li Mu would pay when he ordered the dishes, and the shopkeeper had specially verified Li Mu's capital and confirmed that Li Mu had sufficient financial resources before accepting the order, what if Li Mu changed his mind and asked for AA? Wouldn't that cost him his life?
"Boss, you are too extravagant. Even though I am happy today, you cannot spend money like this. If you really think the money is too much, you might as well give me a raise." Ning Xin muttered.
In order to make Ning Xin feel at ease following him, Li Mu had just advanced her three months' salary. Receiving the salary meant that Ning Xin had officially started working, so the way she addressed Li Mu also changed.
"Old Bai, you can see that I have money now and I'm short of people. Why don't you follow me?" Li Mu asked Bai Tao.
"Wait a moment." Bai Tao was fiddling with his cell phone at the moment, looking very busy, and simply ignored Li Mu.
After a while, Bai Tao put down his phone, cursing: "Poor bastard, you can't even afford 2,500 yuan. What a waste of my time!"
