Chapter 484: Chapter 219: Offering Buddha Flowers by Proxy, The Position of the Principal Wife!_2

"Let’s go, let’s go, time to eat!"

Lin Baici went to hail a cab by the roadside.

Ji Xinyan acutely sensed that the classmates’ attitude towards Lin Baici had changed; they had become more respectful and friendly.

Breaking the escape room record was a show of strength; casually giving away fifty thousand yuan was generous and magnanimous. Honestly, who wouldn’t want to be friends with someone like that?

Thinking deeper,

who was in this group?

The prettiest girls included herself and Bai Jiao, as well as the class monitor Pei Fei. Among the boys, there were the rich Qian Jiahui, Fang Mingyuan, and Hu Wenwu—all Lin Baici’s dorm buddies. Their relationship had already been good. After accepting that money, it would only get better.

Ji Xinyan turned her head and glanced at Liu Yu. That kid was going to have a hard time in the future. If he didn’t take the hint and continued to cause trouble for Lin Baici, he’d end up even worse.

After getting into the taxi, Ji Xinyan whispered into her ear, "Big class leader, you really are an excellent hunter."

Tea sister could foresee that if Xu Daguan didn’t take the hint, he would probably struggle a lot in the dorm as well.

Lin Baici spent this fifty thousand yuan in such a worthwhile way, and Tea sister was certain that he would be the one paying for dinner tonight.

She had already thought of the reason: stumbling upon fifty thousand yuan meant surely sharing the wealth around.

There’s a saying that those who dine on your generosity are soft-spoken, and those who accept your gifts are obliged to you. Once everyone had eaten Lin Baici’s meal, they would unconsciously stand on his side in the future.

Anyway, Liu Yu wouldn’t be able to find any good friends in this class.

Lin Baici restrained a smile and gently patted Tea sister’s thigh, the meaning clear without being spoken. He wasn’t a fool—why would he give away money for no reason?

This was called buying people’s hearts!

Isolating Liu Yu!

After all, this money was easy come.

Speaking of which, Ji Xinyan’s thigh felt pretty good!

[With a body trained in dance for ten years, the muscle texture is firm and satisfying to the touch, crisp and chewy—recommended for barbecue, and add plenty of cumin!]

[Tea sister can strike many poses you wouldn’t even think of!]

The dinner was booked by Pei Fei at a budget barbecue buffet called ’Kung Fu Dao’ on the third floor of Wanda Plaza.

The appetite of the girls was hard to gauge, but the boys at this age mostly had big appetites; the small amount of class funds wouldn’t cover enough dishes, so it was better to go for a buffet.

When everyone arrived at the mall, they made their way to the fourth floor.

There was a long line outside the buffet restaurant.

"There are so many people?"

Bai Jiao took one look and lost her appetite, mainly because there were too many people and the dining environment wasn’t very good.

"This buffet restaurant is pretty popular!"

Pei Fei explained: "I’ve seen the reviews online!"

"They don’t have private rooms, right? We probably can’t sit together, which defeats the purpose of having a meal together!"

Qian Jiahui didn’t care much about what to eat; he mainly wanted everyone to have fun together.

"Looks like we’ll have to wait a long time!"

Liu Zilu checked the time on her phone: "This will probably take at least an hour!"

Today was the weekend, and there were many young people out and about.

"How about we go to the Japanese restaurant upstairs? I saw on Xiaohongshu that there’s a good Japanese restaurant here!"

Liu Zilu suggested.

"Isn’t that going to be expensive?"

In Zhou Zhou’s mind, Japanese food was expensive and something you’d eat to show off in social media circles.

"We have so many people; we can negotiate a discount with the owner!"

Liu Zilu looked towards Lin Baici and Qian Jiahui. These two, one with prestige and the other with wealth, were the ones who could make the decision: "Just asking won’t hurt. If it doesn’t work out, no big deal, right?"

"I’ll ask!"

Xu Daguan raised his hand, eager to showcase his social media influence: "With my internet celebrity status, I should be able to negotiate a discount!"

"No need for that trouble. Do you all want to eat Japanese food? If you want to, let’s go. If money is the issue, I’ll cover it!"

Qian Jiahui was indeed generous.

Most classmates had never had Japanese food before, so they were quite interested, and they all went up to the fifth floor together.

The owner, seeing so many potential customers, was eager to make the deal and dropped the price by 30 yuan to 148 yuan per person.

"Still too expensive. Shall we eat something else?"

"Or should we each contribute a little more to the class fund?"

"I heard Japanese food is mostly raw. Could it upset our stomachs?"

Everyone began discussing, chiming in with their own opinions.

"Let’s go, let’s eat something else!"

Ji Xinyan knew that suddenly asking for additional class funds would make some people unhappy and others unable to afford it. So even if they ended up eating at the Japanese restaurant, it would leave a lingering sense of discomfort. Better to give up: "What matters is that we all hang out together, what we eat doesn’t really matter!"

"Ah, let’s not bother with all this, just go in, go in, I’ll foot the bill!"

Qian Jiahui couldn’t stand the dawdling any longer. A few thousand yuan was nothing but a few large rockets in livestreaming terms. He pushed everyone into the restaurant.

The owner immediately called the waitstaff over to serve the customers.

Everyone was still anxious, looking towards Lin Baici, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Don’t worry about the money, eat your hearts out, and leave Jiahui crying."

Lin Baici joked, knowing Qian Jiahui well enough to be sure the tycoon truly didn’t care about the money; his aim was simply to have a good time.

Although he actually wanted to pay for the meal himself, since Qian Jiahui had insisted on paying, he felt awkward bringing it up again; it would seem as though he doubted Qian Jiahui’s financial capacity.

The owner seated everyone in the northwest corner and promised that he wouldn’t lead any more customers to this area until the rest of the restaurant was full.

Soon, the waiter began to serve dishes.

Setting aside whether it tasted good or not, the French red wine foie gras, grilled eel, sashimi platter, and iron plate beef fillet—just hearing these names, combined with the exquisite presentation, looked quite impressive.

Everyone was quite satisfied, after all, for these kids who had just started university and left their hometowns, it was a time to see the world.

Bai Jiao was cool and not chatty, in contrast to Ji Xinyan, who could strike up a conversation with anyone, even the unnoticeable Hu Wenwu—she made sure to initiate some chat so they didn’t feel left out.

Of course, Liu Yu was the exception—Ji Xinyan didn’t glance his way even once.

Among the guys, Xu Daguan was the social butterfly, his mouth never stopping. If everyone hadn’t disagreed, he would have started a live broadcast boasting about the cohesiveness of Software Engineering class 01.

The meal ended with all the guests and hosts in high spirits.

When Qian Jiahui went to settle the bill, Lin Baici followed, but the owner mentioned that a girl had already paid.

"Who?"

Qian Jiahui frowned.

Lin Baici guessed it—it was likely Ji Xinyan.

"The one wearing boots, very pretty girl!"

The owner had a strong impression of Ji Xinyan, and when she paid the bill earlier, he had even asked for her WeChat.

"..."

Qian Jiahui hadn’t thought of how to respond and was pulled away by Lin Baici.

"Let’s go!"

With everyone full from food and drink, they descended the stairs.

Qian Jiahui approached Ji Xinyan: "I was supposed to pay for this!"

"Can we stop arguing about this?"

Ji Xinyan thought to herself that this was Lin Baici’s show, and she couldn’t let him steal the spotlight! Spending a few thousand yuan was no issue for her—it’s not like she couldn’t afford it!

And with how she acted today, surely the title of Lin Baici’s official one had to be hers, right?

"I had a lot of fun today. How about we go somewhere else to play?"

Liu Zilu suggested.

"Where? KTV?"

Zhang Zhixu and the others weren’t done having fun either.

"What’s the fun in singing? Let’s go to a nightclub!"

Xu Daguan was as bold as ever.

"Damn, you really want to be put on academic probation, huh?"

Liu Yu blurted out instinctively, but instantly regretted it because he also wanted to check it out. Besides, today was clearly a chance to freeload—otherwise, he’d have to pay his own way next time.

"Why would you get penalized for going to a nightclub?"

"Yeah, let’s go take a look. If anything, we can just leave after a while!"

"We’re all adults here, what’s there to be afraid of?"

The guys were getting excited, clamoring to go.

"I heard it’s really expensive there!"

Hu Wenwu was worried and anxious.

"How about we all chip in?"

People still wanted to go, mainly because they’d had some sake and beer and were feeling a bit tipsy.

"Don’t worry about the money, I’ll cover it!"

Qian Jiahui declared with a grand gesture, "Let’s go, to the nightclub!"

"No, you’ve already paid for dinner!"

Bai Jiao objected.

"I didn’t pay, it was Ji Xinyan!"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly turned to look at Ji Xinyan.

"I’m feeling generous today and want to spend some money, who dares to stop me? But the money was actually from our class monitor; I was just taking a slice of his kidney, teehee!"

Ji Xinyan did a cute cutting motion with her right hand, "I just acted as a go-between!"

Bai Jiao inwardly cursed her as a cunning woman; she was clearly currying favor with Lin Baici.

Could it be that Ji Xinyan was planning to pursue Lin Baici?

But from the beginning of the school year, she seemed more interested in Lin Baici than in Qian Jiahui.

"Let’s go! Let’s go!"

Qian Jiahui beckoned everyone into the cars, heading straight for Haijing’s hottest nightclub.
