After a satisfying meal, Chang Yufei leaned back in his seat, stretched, and said, "Ah, that was nice!"
He then exchanged a look with Huang Shanshan and asked, "How about it, Qin Yi, are you done eating?"
Qin Yi replied, "Mm, I'm done!"
"Alright, if you're done, let's go then!"
With that, the three of them stood up, left the private room, and headed to the front desk to settle the bill.
"Waiter, bill for private room 666, how much is it?" Chang Yufei asked.
The waiter checked and replied, "Hello sir, your total consumption is ninety-six thousand eight hundred yuan. We can offer a discount on the odd amount, so you only need to pay ninety-six thousand yuan, sir!"
"Ninety-six thousand..."
Chang Yufei did some calculations and said, "There are three of us, so that's thirty-two thousand yuan per person. I'm not very familiar with that guy, so I'll just pay for two people, which is sixty-four thousand yuan!"
As he spoke, he transferred sixty-four thousand yuan to the other party using his phone.
Immediately, the waiter confirmed receipt and said to Qin Yi, "Sir, you need to pay thirty-two thousand yuan!"
Qin Yi: "..."
At this moment, Chang Yufei and Huang Shanshan stood by, looking at Qin Yi with amusement.
Qin Yi's face darkened.
He had wondered why Chang Yufei was treating him to such a meal for no reason, and why he had felt something was off all afternoon. So this was what they had planned for him!
Qin Yi said to Chang Yufei in a deep voice, "Didn't you say you were treating?"
If he hadn't said anything, it would have been better. The moment he did, the amusement on Chang Yufei's face intensified.
"Did I say that? I don't remember!"
"Qin Yi, am I that familiar with you? Why would I treat you to such an expensive meal out of the blue? Who do you think you are?"
Huang Shanshan stood there with her arms crossed, looking at Qin Yi with disdain in her eyes. "Qin Yi, you have no relation to Manager Chang, yet you expect him to treat you to such a costly meal? Where is your shame?"
"Tsk tsk, you were drinking so happily earlier. Do you know how much one bottle of that wine costs? Twenty thousand!"
"Pay the bill now! Let me tell you, this is a five-star hotel, and there are dozens of security guards. If you don't pay, you probably won't be able to leave today!"
Chang Yufei immediately said to the front desk staff, "Excuse me, I'll state it again to you, I am not familiar with him! We will only pay our own share, we are not responsible for his part!"
The front desk staff nodded.
Seeing that Qin Yi showed no intention of paying for a long time, one of them stepped forward and approached Qin Yi. "Sir, please settle your bill, it's a total of thirty-two thousand yuan!"
Qin Yi's face was as black as if it were about to bleed.
He wasn't bothered by the thirty-two thousand yuan; Han Sanwan had deposited nearly twenty million yuan into his bank card last time.
What angered him was being set up by Chang Yufei and Huang Shanshan.
The dishes and wine earlier were all ordered by Chang Yufei.
Chang Yufei's outright lying to his face now was simply shameless.
The more Qin Yi appeared angry, the happier Chang Yufei and Huang Shanshan became.
Huang Shanshan: "Qin Yi, if you really don't have the money, I can lend it to you! But you have to beg me, haha!"
Chang Yufei walked up to Qin Yi and smiled. "Qin Yi, if you can kneel down and beg me, I might consider helping you pay the bill!"
"Thirty-two thousand is an astronomical figure for someone like you, but it's nothing to me!"
Looking at their ugly, smug faces, Qin Yi couldn't take it anymore. He raised his hand and slapped Chang Yufei.
*Slap.*
Chang Yufei spun around from the impact, utterly stunned.
Huang Shanshan's body trembled, her face filled with disbelief.
Neither of them had expected Qin Yi to suddenly lash out!
Regaining his senses, Chang Yufei roared at Qin Yi, "Qin Yi, how dare you hit me, I'll kill you!"
He clenched his fist and lunged towards Qin Yi's head.
However, before his fist was even a foot away from Qin Yi's head, Qin Yi backhanded him across the face, knocking him to the ground.
Immediately, Qin Yi took out a bank card and handed it to the stunned waiter. "Swipe it!"
"Oh, oh... alright!"
The waiter took the bank card, returned to the front desk, and swiped it.
The card was successfully processed, and the waiter handed it back to Qin Yi. "Sir, it's... done!"
Qin Yi took the card back. Regardless of Chang Yufei's rage on the ground or Huang Shanshan's shock, he strode out of the hotel.
After walking a distance, he suddenly stopped, turned back, and said to Chang Yufei, "Those two slaps just now are my punishment for you trying to trick me this afternoon. Don't think I'll be afraid of you just because you're the company's deputy general manager..."
Then, his gaze shifted to Huang Shanshan. "Considering you are pregnant, I'll let you off this time. But if you dare to provoke me again, I won't be so lenient!"
With that, he completely ignored their reactions and walked out of the hotel.
Only after he was out of the hotel door did Chang Yufei regain some semblance of his senses. He roared at Huang Shanshan, "Didn't you say he was a penniless bum? Then how did he have so much money to pay the bill?"
"I, I, I..." Huang Shanshan became incoherent. "I don't know!"
At this moment, she was truly shocked to the extreme.
She hadn't expected Qin Yi to be able to produce such a large sum of money as thirty-two thousand yuan, and even less did she expect him to dare to hit Chang Yufei.
After all, Chang Yufei had just started working at Xinfa Industrial Company today! And within a few hours, he had hit the deputy general manager. What was he thinking???
...
Qin Yi left the hotel and took a taxi back to the company.
He didn't dwell on hitting Chang Yufei; if the other party wanted to fire him, then so be it.
He hadn't intended to stay at Xinfa Industrial Company for long anyway. He was only working there to appease Zheng Shufen.
The only thing Qin Yi felt slightly bad about was that he had gotten into Xinfa Industrial Company through Zheng Chenggong's connections. Now that he had hit Chang Yufei and was about to be fired, he felt embarrassed to face Zheng Chenggong.
Back at the company, Qin Yi went straight to his workstation, quietly waiting for Chang Yufei and Huang Shanshan to return.
And then, for Chang Yufei's termination notice.
However, to Qin Yi's surprise, by the afternoon working hours, apart from Huang Shanshan returning and giving him an angry look, Chang Yufei made no move.
He didn't even see Chang Yufei for the rest of the afternoon; the latter hadn't returned to the company.
In this situation, Qin Yi was completely baffled.
It wasn't until close to the end of the workday that Huang Shanshan walked over, threw a pile of documents at him, and said coldly, "Qin Yi, these are all the accounts our company needs to collect. You have one week to collect them all!"
"If you can't collect them, you can leave!"
Yang Zhi, sitting next to him, glanced at the accounts on the documents, and his expression changed.
