Chapter 1098: Chapter 143 Qiao Qiao_2

Zhao Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this and asked, “What’s the minimum spending requirement?”

“998 yuan…”

Such an expense would not be considered high in an ordinary bar, but here in a college town, a thousand yuan as the minimum spending was equivalent to a month’s living expenses for many students.

“Is there any kind of package deal?” Zhao Yu asked casually.

The girl beside him couldn’t help but feel surprised, as it seemed Zhao Yu was a wealthy person.

“Yes, we have package deals for 998, 1988, and 2888 yuan…”

...

Zhao Yu immediately took out his phone and signaled the waiter to bring up the payment code.

He transferred three thousand yuan and said, “I’ll take the 2888 package deal, and the rest is your tip!”

After doing this, Zhao Yu turned back to find that the girl beside him had suddenly developed a better impression of him—her liking increased five points, from the thirties to just over forty.

Indeed, money is the underlying color of a man, and wealthy men are the most likely to gain favorable impressions from women.

“You seem quite wealthy!” said the girl, a bit surprised.

“I’m not in a great mood and you seem quite congenial, so I thought I’d chat with you!” Zhao Yu said with a smile, not denying it.

“My name is Qiao Qiao. And you?” The girl volunteered her own name.

Zhao Yu noticed that just by paying the bill, Qiao Qiao’s liking for him had increased to sixty points.

That was really fast.

“What a coincidence, huh?” Zhao Yu said in surprise, “My name is Aiqiao…”

“You’re joking with me, right?” Qiao Qiao covered her mouth and chuckled.

“No, I really am named Aiqiao. I can show you my ID if you don’t believe me!”

As Zhao Yu spoke, he reached into his pocket, “Oh no, I didn’t bring it…”

He looked up and laughed, “Well, it seems we really are fated, your name being Qiao Qiao and mine Aiqiao…”

Qiao Qiao’s smile widened, seemingly in a good mood, and she picked up her glass, “To our serendipity, cheers!”

“Alright, to our serendipity, cheers!” Zhao Yu responded, picking up his glass to clink hers.

“The way you handle your glass doesn’t seem like it’s your first time in a bar!” Qiao Qiao noted that Zhao Yu had a certain knack when lifting his glass, distinctly different from ordinary people.

“Not at all, I just picked it up from hanging out with classmates at barbeque stands…” Zhao Yu chuckled.

Qiao Qiao didn’t press further, and the two of them drank up.

“Did you break up with someone today?” Zhao Yu took the opportunity to ask casually.

“Not at all!”

Qiao Qiao shook her head. She hadn’t wanted to talk about it earlier, but now that Zhao Yu seemed likeable to her, she felt an urge to open up.

“What do you think about gold diggers?” she suddenly asked.

Zhao Yu paused for a moment, remembering the earlier conversation about himself, and said, “How I think about Zhao Yu, that’s how I think about gold diggers…”

“So you’re quite tolerant of gold diggers then!” Qiao Qiao said with a light laugh.

“There’s no such thing as gold diggers!” Zhao Yu noticed her approval rating of him tick up a notch, and quickly smiled, “Women just prefer better material conditions…”

“Some men can’t provide, and they label women as gold diggers. But think about it, whether male or female, who doesn’t want a better life?”

On hearing this, Qiao Qiao was stunned and looked at Zhao Yu with a more complex gaze.

After a moment, she poured herself another drink, “You’re quite unique, here goes!”

Seeing this, Zhao Yu also poured himself a drink and smiled, “I’ll join you!”

He had pretty much figured out this girl’s situation by now—she was just as she said, a gold digger, though he didn’t know the specific details of her story.

The two chatted for a while, and Qiao Qiao gradually opened up.

“As you might have guessed, I’m what people call a gold digger,” Qiao Qiao said with a bitter look on her face, glancing at Zhao Yu, “You probably don’t want to hear it, right?”

“Not at all, I want to know your story,” Zhao Yu said sincerely.

Encouraged by this, Qiao Qiao finally began to tell her story.

“When I was young, my family’s conditions weren’t particularly poor…”

“My parents were both teachers, and when I was young, their professions made me feel proud…”

“Everything changed starting in the sixth grade…”

“At that time, I was studying in my mother’s class, and she was my homeroom teacher…”

“There were two boys who got into a fight…”

“I refer to them as Boy A and Boy B.”

“Boy A often bullied other students, while Boy B was usually the one being bullied…”

“Everyone in our class knew this, and that day, Boy A bullied Boy B too harshly…”

Qiao Qiao paused for a moment, then said, “You know, back then, whenever Boy B was bullied, he would just swallow the insult and endure it…”

“The turnaround happened because a new girl joined our class, a very pretty girl…”

“All the boys in our class liked that girl, including Boy A and Boy B…”

“Boy A often pretended to be casual and showed off in front of that pretty girl…”

“In contrast, Boy B, with years of bullying experience, felt very inferior, and even though he liked that pretty girl, he never dared to show it…”

“However, what no one expected was that the pretty girl actually liked Boy B…”

“This was known to Boy A, and of course, Boy B too, because the girl said it in front of many people…”
