177: Chapter 176: Setting Someone Up 177: Chapter 176: Setting Someone Up “Oh?
What kind of opportunity is it?
Tell us about it.” The man’s interest was piqued at the mention of making money and he clamored, “Let’s all eat and drink well today; put everything on my tab.”
The people below were thrilled out of their minds, recklessly ordering dishes they wouldn’t normally even dare to look at.
When the menu was passed to Li Shishi, she didn’t bother to look and simply handed it to Song Yun.
Song Yun briefly flipped through a few pages and then said to the waiter, “Do you have any expensive liquors here?
I see everyone is ordering Maotai and similar things, but I’m still young and not accustomed to drinking white spirits.”
The man who had been discussing the event with the class leader heard this and was initially startled, but then he thought to himself that Li Shishi surely wouldn’t allow Song Yun to freely order top-shelf liquor, especially not on his own dime.
“Good evening, sir.
We’ve recently acquired a new batch of Romanée-Conti, each bottle priced at 130,000 yuan.
However, for Young Master Yin’s sake, we can offer you a 20% discount,” the waiter said cheerily.
Why wouldn’t he be cheerful?
In a private club like this, his salary included commissions and tips, and from a bottle of Romanée-Conti, he could earn a commission of five hundred yuan.
With this in mind, the smile on the waiter’s face became even brighter.
“Not bad.
Let’s start with a bottle of that.
It’s no fun drinking alone, so bring five or six bottles of Royal Salute as well,” Song Yun said with a smile as he closed the menu.
The man’s brain was in a whirl.
He really ordered it?
Was that little bastard really going for the kill, or was he just trying to trap him?
Just the cost of these few bottles of liquor was enough for him to live lavishly for a month outside.
The nerve of this little punk, gouging him like that.
The man with the glasses, Young Master Yin referred to by the waiter, noticing his classmate’s ashen face, said, “It wouldn’t be fair to let Xiao Ran foot the bill alone today; I’ll cover half of the cost.”
“You’re too kind, Class Leader Yin,” Xiao Ran said, flashing an awkward smile, but inside he was exuberant.
Although the meal cost over a hundred thousand yuan, in the end, Class Leader Yin might actually fork over half of the money by saying, “Xiao Ran, I’ll cover half for you.” Everyone was from the upper echelons of society and face mattered.
This treat would definitely fall on the class leader’s head.
“That’s right, Old Yin, you’ve always been too polite.
If Xiao Ran has made so much money outside, he can definitely afford a meal.
Saying otherwise is like belittling him,” Li Shishi said with a look of contempt.
Xiao Ran clenched his fists and forced a smile uglier than crying, “That’s right, Class Leader.
I’ve been working outside for so many years, it’s about time I offered some benefits to my classmates.”
Young Master Yin looked at Xiao Ran and then at Li Shishi, sighed, and said, “Alright then, let today’s meal be on Xiao Ran.”
And the instigator, Song Yun, was leisurely texting Qingluan on his phone, paying no mind to the commotion at the table.
Xiao Ran, seeing Song Yun’s carefree demeanor, was so furious he felt like his lungs might burst.
You’re eating my food, drinking my liquor, and you don’t even say thank you?
At the very least, shouldn’t you know that I’m the one treating today and stand up to offer me a cup of tea, saying, ‘Brother Ran, thank you for your generosity’?
“Before the dishes arrive, let me tell you all about a few of the ‘sons of privilege’ from our Sunan City, stories you won’t hear outside,” Xiao Ran said mysteriously after sipping his tea.
“Speaking of the ‘sons of privilege’ from Sunan City, there truly are many of them.
But only a few are top-tier Young Masters.”
Hearing this, Song Yun couldn’t help but snicker.
True Young Masters, have you even seen what they look like?
To hear you tell it, our little Sunan is shrouded in mystery.
Take a trip to Yanjing, why don’t you, and you might as well write a novel when you return.
This laugh made it difficult for Xiao Ran to save face.
He gave Song Yun a dark look and asked, “What are you laughing at?
What did I say that’s wrong?”
“Nothing, nothing.
Please, continue.
I just remembered something funny; that’s all,” Song Yun said, gesturing with his hands.
Xiao Ran stared at Song Yun for a few minutes before turning back and saying, “To talk about the prominent ‘sons’ of Sunan City, we have to start with their fathers…”
Xiao Ran rambled on quite a bit but hardly said anything substantial; he merely repeated rumors he’d heard from who knows where.
Such tales could only deceive classmates who hadn’t seen much of the world.
Yet, as luck would have it, the majority in this reunion hadn’t seen much of the world and listened with rapt attention, wishing they could place themselves in those battles, using their unmatched wits to resolve crises time after time.
Song Yun curling his lip, whispered to Li Shishi, “Of all the things he’s told, how many are true?
Aren’t they just made up?”
“You can’t strip people of their right to imagine,” Li Shishi said nonchalantly.
“But what do you plan to do to mess with this bastard today?
He has, after all, bullied your fiancée.”
“Not at all, I didn’t see him bully you; in fact, I saw you scolding him continuously,” Song Yun replied cheerfully.
“Besides, considering he’s a businessman, how could I mess with him?
It’s not easy for everyone to earn a living out here.”
“Don’t play the wise guy; it invites disaster.
I could tell from the liquor you ordered that you’re going to scam him hard.
Otherwise, why would I have turned down Class Leader Yin’s kind offer and singled him out?” Li Shishi said knowingly.
Song Yun sighed, “Seems like there’s a need to marry a clever woman; otherwise, I wouldn’t even have a partner in crime.”
“Who’s your woman?
Let’s get things straight; don’t always take advantage of me,” Li Shishi said coquettishly as she cast a disdainful glance at Song Yun.
Although Xiao Ran was telling his tales with great relish, his gaze kept stealing looks at Li Shishi’s direction.
Seeing Song Yun and Li Shishi looking like they were having an affair, he wished he could hurl the cup in his hand at their faces.
But he didn’t dare; even though he could argue with Li Shishi, she was of a much higher status than him, and it would take only a twist of her finger to find several flaws in his company.
“President Li, you’re also one of the upper-class individuals in Sunan City.
You must know about Class Leader Yin’s cousin, Young Master Qian Zimo, right?
Young Master Qian is a true hero.
Speaking of his deeds would take days, and his glorious achievements—tsk tsk tsk—are worthy of nothing less than worship,” Xiao Ran proudly said, as if Qian Zimo was his own elder brother.
“I don’t know him,” Li Shishi replied, her attention still on deepening her relationship stage with Song Yun, showing no interest in engaging with that fool.
