Chapter 756: Chapter 774: Obediently Pay the Money (Part 1)
Jiang Letianâs face looked a bit unpleasant, but at this moment he couldnât say anything, so he forced a smile and said,
"I have some business at the company that needs immediate attention. Please enjoy your meal, Iâll leave first!"
Lin Xi stared at Jiang Letian for a few seconds, seemingly not noticing his lie, and said with a concerned face, "Then President Jiang should hurry, go back quickly and handle it properly!"
"After all, Iâve heard about startups like yours, working overtime day and night, and if things arenât handled well, they might go bankrupt!"
Jiang Letian, "..."
He cursed silently in his heart, "Youâd go bankrupt first!"
"A dog canât spit out ivory!"
But right now, he just wanted to leave early, so he didnât want to get entangled with Lin Xi!
So, he nodded in agreement with Lin Xiâs words and said, "Thank you, little brother, for understanding. Iâll be off then!"
At this moment, he couldnât help but glance at Zhu Ying and Lin Yanxia, really reluctant to leave!
But for the sake of tens of thousands of dollars, he decided to forsake beauty.
Just as he took a few steps, Lin Xi suddenly seemed to remember something and shouted, "President Jiang, wait!"
Jiang Letian paused; Lin Xiâs voice was so loud that almost everyone in the restaurant heard it, so he couldnât pretend not to.
He turned around, forcing a smile and asked, "Little brother, do you have something else?"
"Yes, thereâs one more thing!" Lin Xi replied first, then looked at the pretty waitress, "Miss, the ten orders I mentioned just now, could you please hurry and serve them?"
The pretty waitress looked at Jiang Letian, who was about to leave, as if asking for confirmation!
However, Jiang Letian directly avoided her gaze and didnât look at her.
So, at this moment, the pretty waitress hesitated a bit.
Seeing her hesitation, Lin Xi got a little angry, "Hurry up, President Jiang is treating us, what are you afraid of!"
"Besides, even if President Jiang doesnât pay, do I look like someone who canât afford it!"
Upon hearing this, the pretty waitress looked embarrassed and left to place the order for Lin Xi.
Only then did Lin Xi look at Jiang Letian, and said, "President Jiang, the thing I just forgot is, could you pay the bill before you leave!"
"It doesnât take much time, just a swipe of the card!"
Jiang Letianâs face was uncertain, and he didnât reply immediately.
Seeing this scene, the smile on Lin Yanxiaâs face became even more pronounced; this little devil is definitely doing this on purpose!
Zhu Ying looked a bit worried, concerned that Lin Xiâs way of doing things might be too much. After all, if they pissed him off, theyâd offend someone!
But if they offend him, it doesnât seem to matter much!
Well, itâs not like heâs an employee of his company.
The three beauties, Han Xin, couldnât help but chuckle. They didnât particularly like Jiang Letianâs pretentiousness earlier, but they didnât want to embarrass him either.
But now seeing someone embarrassing him, they were very happy indeed.
Xu Menghua glanced worriedly at her husband, noting that his face had darkened, and saw him stand up and walk to Jiang Letian, saying, "Little brother, my boss really has an urgent matter at the company!"
"We canât delay; if itâs not handled in time, itâll cost at least tens of millions, maybe even hundreds!"
"Of course, if handled well, weâll earn at least this much!"
"So weâll each pay for our own meals this time, and President Jiang will treat everyone to a better meal next time, and you can eat whatever you like, promising it wonât cost less than two hundred thousand."
Hearing his subordinate speak like this, Jiang Letian nodded in satisfaction, indicating thatâs exactly the case; he must return immediately now.
Though he spoke like this, it sounded too fake to outsiders!
This clearly comes off as not wanting to pay!
Lin Yanxia frowned slightly, realizing that the person HuaâEr introduced is really not up to the mark. Heâs so worried about such a small amount, and yet wants to woo her Xiaoying, clearly like a toad lusting after a swan!
Moreover, after Xiaoying left with Lin Xi, he tried to make his move on her, and that was when she completely wrote him off from her mind.
Zhu Yingâs face looked a bit grim, not because of anything else, but because if everyone paid for themselves, Lin Xi had probably spent over half a million alone. Could he really afford that much?
The three Han Xin women sighed softly. At this point, they didnât think too much, the only thought in their minds was, what the hell is this Jiang guy!
Xu Menghua, after standing with her husband, felt that Lin Xi was in the wrong.
So, at this moment, she wasnât just displeased with Lin Xi but also with everyone else!
Regarding Xu Menghuaâs husbandâs words, Lin Xi thought for a while and said, "No, not this time!"
"Also, with the time youâre using, you couldâve already paid the bill!"
He certainly wouldnât give any face, after all, this person came to hit on his sister!
He then showed a puzzled look on his face, "Could it be that President Jiang is broke and canât afford it?"
"If thatâs the case, why not let your subordinate pay, after all, he does look quite wealthy!"
When Xu Menghuaâs husband heard this, he instantly shrank back a few steps, putting some distance between himself and Jiang Letian.
After all, adding it all up was almost seven hundred thousand!
Thatâs as much as his annual salary and benefits combined.
Itâs imaginable that if he paid, Jiang Letian definitely wouldnât reimburse him.
At that time, he could already imagine his wife Xu Menghuaâs murderous gaze, and life would definitely not be pleasant!
Seeing his subordinateâs reaction, Jiang Letian couldnât help but feel a burst of anger; if it werenât for this couple introducing him to beauties, would he be in this situation today? Now itâs all become a big joke.
But asking him to pay?
Dream on!
He stopped pretending, changed his expression, and said directly, "Iâm sorry, Iâm out of money right now!"
"All the money has been invested in the company operations!"
"And didnât you just say, even if Iâm out of money, you can pay for it?"
"Well, then show me how you pay!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi had a sudden realization and said, "So you were broke all along!"
"You shouldâve said so earlier, but instead, you pretended to be wealthy and even told me to eat as much as I could!"
"If Iâd known, I wouldâve eaten less!"
He then looked at the pretty waitress who had returned, "Miss, can we cancel the ten orders I just placed?"
The pretty waitress clearly heard their conversation earlier, "Iâm sorry, sir, but the items are already preparing, they cannot be canceled now!"
Hearing this, Lin Xi sighed, "Actually, I could pay too!"
"But you see, President Jiang, now I want you to pay!"
"What to do?"
Jiang Letian snorted coldly, since the facade was torn down, he decided not to use excuses, and said directly, "Iâm sorry, I can only pay for my own meal now!"
With that, he turned around and headed toward the cashier, eager to finish and leave as he didnât want to stay here a moment longer!
Seeing his actions, Lin Xi hadnât made any moves yet when Nangong Qing, whoâs been holding back, couldnât stand it anymore because he despises those who brag but donât keep promises!
"Stop right there!" Nangong Qing shouted at Jiang Letianâs back, "Obediently pay what you promised, or else the consequences will be severe!"
He seemed a bit frivolous, yet it didnât feel like a joke.
