Living in a small county town, earning a million a year

Chapter 10 Did you guys enter the wrong menu?
After ending her conversation with Bai Xue, Xu Mu turned her attention back to the classmates present.

Xu Mu was looking forward to it, imagining how shocked Wang Wei would look when the waiter came to collect the bill after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.

"Didn't I order five bottles of Lafite? Besides that, there's also a bottle of red wine that looks ordinary. Why don't you offer to pour it for Wang Wei?"

"Give him the whole bottle," Xu Mu said to Tong Wu beside him in a low voice. "Later, be a little humble. Just say you were a bit harsh earlier. We're all old classmates, there's no need to make things so awkward!"

"Brother, you want me to be humble in front of him?"

Tong Wu pointed to himself, clearly somewhat shocked.

He and Wang Wei were completely at odds, so forcing him to bow down and toast Wang Wei was practically asking for trouble.

"To achieve great things, sometimes you have to be unconcerned with trifles."

"Listen to your brother, I'll show you a good show later!"

Tong Wu didn't doubt Xu Mu's words.

I did whatever my older brother told me to do.

My brother must have his reasons!
While waiting for the food, the atmosphere in the private room was very lively.

Wang Wei, on the other hand, sat down next to Zhou Mengting with a smug grin, trying every possible way to find topics to talk about.

"Tingting, I wonder if Xu Mu ordered king crab? Actually, the king crab here is pretty good!"

"Next time I have the chance, I'll take you to the place where king crabs are native. They only need ten minutes from being caught in the deep sea to cooking. The meat is very tender. They are all frozen when they are transported to China, which is a bit different from the place of origin."

"However, the sashimi at Kaiyuan Taihe is quite good. It's a new product launched this year. The salmon inside is flown in from overseas, and the meat is very tender. You can eat more of it later. We've never tried it at our class reunion before!"

"..."

Wang Wei was like a duck, constantly making quacking noises in Zhou Mengting's ear.

Zhou Mengting's expression was rather unpleasant; she didn't really want to talk to Wang Wei. However, since Wang Wei was her creditor, Zhou Mengting could only force a smile and occasionally respond to Wang Wei.

Originally, Zhou Mengting and Wang Wei had no connection whatsoever.

At the first class reunion, Wang Wei took the initiative to talk to Zhou Mengting and pretended to accidentally show off his gold watch and Mercedes car keys. At that time, Zhou Mengting was in debt because of her father's situation, so she thought about whether she could get some money from Wang Wei!

But she didn't expect that although Wang Wei said he liked her, when he asked her for money, he would evade the question.

Ultimately, having no other choice, Zhou Mengting had to borrow 50,000 yuan from Wang Wei.

It still hasn't been paid back.

Because of this 50,000 yuan, Wang Wei clung to him like a mangy dog.

He would either pick her up in a Mercedes or a Porsche.

But every time she wanted Wang Wei to spend money on her, he would either make an excuse that something had happened at home and he had to run away, or he would say that he just didn't have any cash on hand...

This forced Zhou Mengting to keep Wang Wei hanging on, while also holding annual class reunions to see if she could hook up with some new rich guys.

But most of the students were just average.

Eating, drinking, chatting, or having a class reunion are all fine.

But what happens when the topic of borrowing money comes up?

No way!

Soon, the drinks were served.

Bottles were brought out one by one on the waiter's tray!

Seeing a bottle of Feitian Moutai being served, Wang Wei couldn't help but frown. He turned to Xu Mu and said, "Hey, Xu Mu, you're quite the connoisseur. You even know how to order Feitian Moutai? Well, you probably don't have many opportunities to drink Feitian Moutai usually, unlike me, who drinks it like water and is tired of it!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the waiter brought over another bottle!
Then, the third bottle, and the fourth bottle!

All five bottles were placed on the turntable.

Wang Wei's eyes widened as he watched bottle after bottle of Feitian cigarettes being brought up, and his heart sank.

Is Xu Mu sick?

Are they ordering so much "flying water" (a euphemism for drinking)?
Didn't you know that a bottle of Feitian (a type of jellyfish) costs 3,000 yuan in hotels now?

Five bottles wouldn't cost 15,000?

But considering that so many classmates were there, Wang Wei held back his anger.

Instead, she gritted her teeth, her eyes blazing with anger, and glared at Xu Mu, demanding, "Xu Mu, why did you order so much Moutai? There are only a few of us male classmates, can we finish it all?"

Xu Mu smiled upon hearing this, looked directly at Wang Wei's anger, and said, "Boss Wang, there are so many of us here. Is ordering five bottles of Feitian Moutai a lot? Besides, there are over thirty of us here. We don't usually have the chance to taste Feitian Moutai. Since Boss Wang is treating us today, why not let us try some?"

"With such a large business, Mr. Wang, surely he can afford to hire you?"

To deal with someone like Wang Wei, you have to flatter him so much that he has no chance to refute you.

"Yes, Mr. Wang, you're the most successful among us old classmates! We usually don't even have the right to drink Feitian tea, but today we just wanted to take advantage of Mr. Wang's reputation to try what Feitian tea tastes like," Tong Wu said, immediately understanding Xu Mu's meaning.

With Xu Mu and Tong Wu joining in, the other classmates looked at Wang Wei with smiles.

"Mr. Wang, you are so generous! I always thought Wang Wei had the air of a big boss, and now he has indeed become one. Thank you for your hospitality tonight!"

"Mr. Wang is awesome!" "..."

They're all gangsters, there aren't any idiots among them!
Don't you like to show off?

Then we'll let you pretend!
Of course, we have to try this wine!
With so many people coaxing him, Wang Wei could only grit his teeth and accept it, even though his heart was bleeding.

Then, the waiter brought out five bottles of Lafite and a bottle of red wine he had never seen before. Wang Wei didn't want to look at them anymore; he was thinking about how to pay the bill later!

"Oh, right, Zhou Mengting still owes me 50,000 yuan! If I can't pay it back later, I'll make her pay me back!"

"Damn it, that idiot Xu Mu, I told you to order, not to order all the expensive stuff! Damn it, I'm going to make him bleed a little later! Fuck!"

Wang Wei thought to himself, looking at Xu Mu with resentment.

Xu Mu remained calm and collected, completely ignoring Wang Wei.

After the drinks were served, the students opened all the Moutai and Lafite.

But he didn't open that bottle of unknown red wine.

Xu Mu patted Tong Wu, who immediately understood, took the bottle of red wine, opened it, and stood up to walk towards Wang Wei.

"Mr. Wang, I was a bit hot-tempered just now! Please forgive me!"

"Let me raise a glass to you, to calm you down!"

Tong Wu smiled at Wang Wei, then took Wang Wei's wine glass and filled it to the brim. "Shall we drink this together?"

"Sure!" Wang Wei was surprised that Tong Wu would toast him with a big smile.

As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. Tong Wu was so sensible, and his attitude was so humble, with so many classmates watching, which greatly satisfied his vanity.

He took the glass of red wine from Tong Wu and drank it all in one gulp!

Hmm~ You know what, this red wine tastes pretty good, but I've never seen this brand before!
As everyone started drinking, the atmosphere in the private room reached a climax.

Seeing that Wang Wei had drunk a whole glass of red wine, Xu Mu then stood up, picked up a glass of red wine filled with hot water, and walked over.

"Wang Wei, this is my first time attending our old classmates' reunion!"

"I'd like to offer you a toast, hoping you'll mentor your brothers more often in the future!"

Xu Mu poured Wang Wei a full glass of red wine with a half-smile, then clinked glasses with him, "Let's have a drink together!"

"Alright, alright!" Wang Wei patted Xu Mu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiao Xu, we're not that petty. Since you said that, I'll definitely tell you if there are any money-making opportunities in the future! We've been classmates for three years in high school, and we're from the same place, so we should definitely keep in touch!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Mu saw Wang Wei finish his red wine in one gulp, and then poured him another full glass.

Seeing Xu Mu and Tong Wu toasting Wang Wei, they understood the social etiquette involved. Each of them held either a glass of red wine or a bottle of Moutai to toast Wang Wei, their words conveying respect for him.

Wang Wei welcomed everyone with a smile.

In the blink of an eye, the bottle of red wine was almost empty!

Before the dishes were even served, Wang Wei had already drunk almost all of his drink.

His face was flushed, and he stumbled over his words, but the atmosphere was perfectly set. Wang Wei put his hands down, crossed his legs, and started bragging with a cigarette in his mouth!
Meanwhile, the waiters began serving the dishes one after another.

Since Xu Mu told Bai Xue that he was attending a classmate reunion at Baihe Hall, Bai Xue probably contacted the kitchen in advance to ask them to serve the dishes at Baihe Hall faster!

In just five minutes, twenty or thirty dishes were served.

Looking at the dish in front of him, and with the overhead light making his eyes slightly blurry, Wang Wei picked up a piece of pickled pepper from the pickled pepper bullfrog with his chopsticks and asked, "What is this? Is it a tomato?"

"It looks pretty good, doesn't it?"

Stuff a pickled pepper into your mouth, and with one bite, the chili juice inside immediately bursts forth.

Wang Wei was completely stunned by the spiciness!

"Holy crap! Ptooey! What is this thing?"

"Killing me!"

Tong Wu patted Xu Mu's shoulder, suppressing a laugh as he whispered.

"The real show is about to begin!"

Xu Mu pressed down on Tong Wu's head to stop him from laughing out loud.

As all the dishes were served, the waiter brought in the menu as well. "Mr. Wang, all the dishes for our private room have been served! Please check to make sure nothing is missing! If nothing is missing, we'll be off. Just call our waiter if you need anything!"

Wang Wei casually took the menu and glanced at it.

In his opinion, only Moutai and Lafite are worth some money, but at most it's only worth 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.

Adding in the cost of splitting the bill at the class reunion, it won't cost too much at all.

But when Wang Wei saw the price of 213920.00 yuan at the bottom of the menu, his eyes widened in surprise!
"Fuck!"

"Did you enter the wrong menu item? Is there an extra zero here?"
