Jiang Hao scanned the surrounding classmates, seeing that almost everyone's gaze was drawn to the bottle of Romanée-Conti worth eighty thousand yuan. He asked the classmates around him with a playful tone, "Everyone, do you want to try this bottle of Romanée-Conti?"
"Yes!" Many classmates nodded in response without a second thought.
Who wouldn't want to try such a legendary wine? In the future, they could tell others, "I've drunk Romanée-Conti!" That would surely be impressive.
Jiang Hao looked at the waiter, "What are you waiting for? Don't you see my classmates are all eager? Hurry up and open the wine."
Zhang Chen quickly pointed at Chen Fan and Ma Jun, "They don't need it. Didn't they say they don't care? It would be a waste to give such expensive wine to them. Just pour more for me."
"Who cares! If we don't drink, we don't drink!" Ma Jun responded coldly with pride.
However, the scene that followed stunned everyone present.
The waiter completely ignored Jiang Hao and Zhang Chen. Instead, he took the Romanée-Conti and respectfully approached Chen Fan.
Ma Jun looked at the waiter in confusion, "What are you doing here? Didn't I say we're not drinking!"
The waiter quickly explained, "Sir, you've misunderstood. This bottle of wine is a gift for Mr. Chen."
Ma Jun was stunned, "You, what did you say? A gift for Brother Fan?"
Zhang Chen, Li Qiang, and all the other classmates were astonished, not understanding what was happening.
Didn't Jiang Hao book this private room? Why was this wine a gift for Chen Fan?
Jiang Hao's expression turned grim again. He looked at the waiter and asked, "I'm the one who booked this private room, and I have a Platinum membership card from the Marriott Group. You're saying this isn't for me, but for him?!"
The waiter replied, "Mr. Jiang, this bottle of wine is a gift for Mr. Chen, and only our Supreme Card holders are eligible to receive Romanée-Conti as a gift from our hotel."
Supreme Card?!
"I remember Jiang Hao saying before that there are only a dozen Supreme Cards in the entire South China province."
"Yeah, I've heard of it too. Big figures with Supreme Cards can shake the entire South China province with a stomp of their foot."
"So what does this waiter mean? Is our class monitor a Supreme Card member here?"
"How is that possible? Our class monitor has only been interning for less than a year, how could he possibly have a Supreme Card?"
The classmates sitting around whispered among themselves, looking at Chen Fan with disbelief. They realized that after less than a year of internship, their former class monitor had become unfathomable to them.
Zhang Chen sneered, "Heh heh, what did you just say? This bottle of wine is a gift for him, and only Supreme Card members are eligible?"
"So you mean, he's a Supreme member here?"
Li Qiang couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Don't kid me, he's a Supreme member? That's probably the funniest joke I've heard all year!"
Jiang Hao also refused to believe it, "Call your manager over. I want to ask when your Marriott Group lowered its standards so much that even someone like this can have a Supreme membership card."
"Someone's looking for me?" Just then, a middle-aged man walked in from the entrance.
Everyone looked. Chen Fan recognized him immediately. This middle-aged man was none other than Yang Zengguang, the manager of the Sky Restaurant.
"Manager Yang," Jiang Hao's tone was very polite.
This Manager Yang was the manager of the Sky Restaurant, someone Jiang Hao couldn't afford to offend.
"Mr. Jiang? You were looking for me?" Yang Zengguang asked.
Jiang Hao glanced at Chen Fan, "Manager Yang, your waiter has made a mistake. We don't have any Supreme Card members here. I just wanted to explain to you."
Yang Zengguang replied, "We haven't made a mistake. This bottle of wine is a gift for Mr. Chen, and he is indeed a Supreme Card member of our Marriott Group."
What?!
Upon hearing Yang Zengguang's answer, everyone looked at Chen Fan in disbelief.
Ma Jun, standing next to Chen Fan, widened his eyes in shock.
"This, this is impossible?! Manager Yang, don't joke with me. I know perfectly well who he is. How could he possibly be a Supreme Card member of the Marriott Group?" Jiang Hao absolutely refused to believe it, thinking Yang Zengguang was joking with him.
Yang Zengguang responded, "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Chen is our Supreme Card member, there is no doubt about that. Therefore, please show some self-respect and do not insult our Supreme Card members. Otherwise, I have the right to revoke your Platinum card usage privileges."
Hiss!
Everyone present gasped.
Jiang Hao's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. He hadn't expected that just for saying a few words to Chen Fan, Manager Yang would threaten to revoke his card privileges!
Chen Fan pulled Ma Jun, motioning for him to sit back down in a daze. He then looked at the three of them and said, "Jiang Hao, do you three want to drink this bottle of wine? If you want to drink, then sit down. I'm not stingy. Everyone in our class will get a share, so you can all taste what Romanée-Conti is like."
These words made Jiang Hao's face turn extremely grim.
Wasn't this clearly mocking him in public? Especially seeing his classmates, who had been flattering him earlier, now lowering their heads and remaining silent. Jiang Hao, with a cold face, stood up from his chair.
"Let's go!" Jiang Hao had no face to stay here any longer. He glared at Zhang Chen and Li Qiang beside him and shouted.
Immediately, Zhang Chen and Li Qiang also stood up, intending to leave with Jiang Hao.
"Oh, right, Manager Yang, please have them settle the bill. Mr. Jiang is treating today," Chen Fan reminded him, not forgetting.
"Okay, I'll inform the front desk right away." Yang Zengguang nodded and gave a few instructions into his walkie-talkie.
When had Jiang Hao ever suffered such a humiliation? He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could tear Chen Fan to pieces right now!
However, he knew this was the Sky Restaurant, and he didn't have the guts to cause trouble there. He could only angrily lead Zhang Chen and Li Qiang out of the private room.
"Brother Fan, when did you get a Supreme Card from the Marriott Group? Where is it? Let me see it too!" Ma Jun, recovering from his shock, looked at Chen Fan with a bewildered expression.
Chen Fan took a card out of his pocket and handed it to Ma Jun, "A friend gave it to me."
"Holy crap, this is too awesome! What kind of friend? Ask him to give me one too! With this card, I can walk sideways in the entire Jiang City!" Ma Jun held the card in his hand, his face filled with excitement.
The surrounding classmates also crowded around curiously. They had never seen what a Supreme Card looked like.
"Huh? Mr. Chen, isn't Miss Qin here?" At this moment, Yang Zengguang approached Chen Fan and asked curiously.
"She's not here. She's having dinner with a friend," Chen Fan replied.
"I see. I saw Miss Qin in the restaurant earlier, and I heard she came with a man who also has a Supreme Card. I thought it was you. So that was Miss Qin's friend."
Chen Fan's expression froze. He suddenly remembered something and quickly looked at Yang Zengguang and asked, "What did you just say? That person also has a Supreme Card?"
