Chapter 161: Chapter 0161: Everything for Free

At that moment, the manager was completely astonished! He simply couldn’t let Tang Ming continue eating like this, but before the manager could speak, Tang Ming approached him first.

"You’re the manager, right?"

Tang Ming glanced at the name tag hanging on the manager’s uniform and asked, "Do you still have seafood?"

"Seafood?"

The manager shook his head, his face twisted in distress, and said,

"Kid, you’ve eaten so much, aren’t you full yet?"

"Not yet, if you could serve me some lobster, that would be just about right."

Tang Ming said, rubbing his stomach.

"Not full yet?"

The manager, on the verge of tears, thought to himself, what is this guy made of? He’s eaten so much without bursting his stomach. With a mournful expression, he said, "We don’t have any seafood left today; you’ve eaten it all yourself."

"All gone?"

Tang Ming thought for a moment and said, "Then I’ll go for some desserts or something."

"What?"

The manager quickly grabbed Tang Ming with both hands and said, "Kid, how about this, stop eating, and I’ll waive your bill today. You won’t have to pay for what you’ve eaten."

"My meal is free? That’s great?"

Tang Ming was overjoyed, and just then, Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting, who were also full, came over. They thought Tang Ming had been scolded for eating too much, but when they heard it was free, the two girls were also delighted.

"But I came here with them."

Tang Ming pointed to Liu Mengting and said.

The manager thought it over and conceded, letting this guy continue to eat would cost him even more, and since the meal was on the house this time, he probably wouldn’t have the face to come dine again. It was just a stroke of bad luck.

"Okay, all three of you can eat for free, just please don’t come back to eat again."

The manager felt a twinge of pain inside, unsure of how he was going to explain today’s sales to the boss.

"Wow, we can eat for free, too!"

Li Xiaoli clapped her hands in excitement: "Brother Tang Ming is awesome, just a few words and we don’t have to pay!"

Liu Mengting knew that if Tang Ming hadn’t eaten so much, they would never have gotten a free meal. But could this be considered a blessing in disguise?

"Thanks a lot, manager."

Tang Ming put down his plate and left the restaurant with Liu Mengting.

The three of them went outside to get their car, and Li Xiaoli reminisced, "It seems there are real benefits to going out to eat with Brother Tang Ming, we even got a free meal! Maybe we should come again next time; the food here is pretty good."

Liu Mengting glared at Li Xiaoli and said, "Maybe we shouldn’t come back. My dad knows the owner of this restaurant; it would be too embarrassing if we eat like this again."

Tang Ming didn’t care; he had eaten his fill this time, had enough seafood, and even treated them. He had paid his dues, and most importantly, he hadn’t spent a penny. He really didn’t know how to describe his luck and feelings!

As for others calling him a big eater, let them talk. That’s just envy, jealousy, and hatred.

The three got into the car; this time, Tang Ming took the driver’s seat directly, not letting Li Xiaoli drive lest she take everyone straight into a ditch, causing a traffic accident that would give Lin Xue a big headache.

"Since sister Meng Meng said she knows the owner, we shouldn’t come here anymore. Next time, let’s find another place. With brother Tang Ming with us, we can eat big meals without paying a cent."

Li Xiaoli said excitedly, raising her hands.

Liu Mengting laughed cheerfully, and Tang Ming, who was driving, also started laughing.

The next day, after having their fill and sleeping soundly, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli resumed their school life, and Tang Ming started to protect them closely, fearing that something unexpected might happen again.

Upon arriving at the school gate, Tang Ming noticed a few students who seemed off and immediately said, "Wait, don’t go in yet; I’ll check it out."

Having said that, Tang Ming entered the school first, scrutinizing those students carefully. After confirming there was no problem, he let Liu Mengting and the other enter the school.

These students were small-time troublemakers, known for snatching small amounts of money. But before characters like Monkey and Xiao Jun, they were ’big brothers.’ They recognized Tang Ming and knew he was a tough guy who could punch out flies and step on Ma Gangqiang, so no one dared to mess with him.

Seeing Tang Ming, they quickly scattered.

Liu Mengting didn’t say anything, but she felt that Tang Ming was making a big fuss. On the other hand, Li Xiaoli straightforwardly said, "Brother Tang Ming, can you relax a little? We’re already at school; just take it easy."

"I can’t. If it weren’t for my negligence last time, you wouldn’t have been kidnapped by Dead Fly."

Tang Ming had just started speaking...

Li Xiaoli quickly covered his mouth with her hand, whispering nervously, "Brother Tang Ming, didn’t we agree at home not to talk about this?"

"Oh, I forgot."

Tang Ming said a bit awkwardly.

They agreed at home that the kidnapping incident couldn’t be mentioned to anyone else, including the talkative Zhou Youfu, because he couldn’t keep a secret. If the word got out that Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli had been kidnapped by Chen Cang, their reputations would be ruined; even diving into the Yellow River wouldn’t wash them clean, so the three unanimously decided this matter must absolutely stay secret.

Especially for Li Xiaoli, who was extremely concerned about face. Being kidnapped was a highly embarrassing ordeal!

"Remember this at all costs."

Li Xiaoli reminded, then walked into the academic building.

The three reached their classroom, stumbled through the morning self-study, and then Chubby turned to Tang Ming sitting behind him and asked, "Brother Ming, why weren’t you at class yesterday?"

"I was busy with something."

Tang Ming answered offhand.

"Oh, Brother Ming, the sports festival is coming up soon. Are you interested in participating?"

Chubby took out a sandwich from his drawer and handed one to Tang Ming as he asked.

Since he no longer had to pay protection money, Chubby always had money on him. Originally from a well-off family, he used to be bullied into giving money to Chen Cang and his gang. Now, without having to pay a penny, he was quite well-off and bought breakfast for Tang Ming every day.

Tang Ming, chewing on his sandwich, shook his head and said, "I’m not interested."

After the morning break ended, their homeroom teacher, who was over forty years old and wore glasses, a real nice guy who wasn’t too strict with the students, began the first class. He was quite popular in their class, Senior Three Class Five.

After finishing the class, the homeroom teacher said,

"The sports festival is coming up soon. Although our class isn’t particularly good at sports, you are all senior three students, and this sports festival will be your last at Tianjiao High School. So, I hope everyone participates actively. First, for the honor of the class, and second, to leave everyone with great memories."

Upon hearing this, the students below started whispering to each other like boiling dumplings, discussing animatedly.
