Chapter 59: Chapter 57: Swindler

Upon hearing this number, everyone was stunned, thinking they had misheard and refusing to believe their own ears as they stared dazedly at the waiter.

Even Tao Jun was momentarily taken aback, having not expected that just three bottles of wine could sell for three million.

"What did you say? I didn’t hear clearly. Say it again..." Tao Jun said to the waiter.

The waiter said, "Sir, for three bottles of wine, the total comes to three million. Please settle the bill."

"Three million!" This time, everyone had heard clearly. Indeed, they had not heard wrong—it was truly three million.

This revelation shocked everyone, and a hint of embarrassment showed in Tao Jun’s eyes.

"I don’t have three million in my account right now. How about this, give me half an hour and I’ll have someone bring it over?" Tao Jun asked the waiter.

The waiter nodded, "No problem, then I’ll just stand here and wait. The boss instructed that you can only leave after settling the bill, so I hope everyone doesn’t mind my presence here, disturbing your meal."

After saying this, the waiter stood behind Tao Jun, making the atmosphere quite awkward.

Looking at the wine on the table, nobody wanted to touch it anymore. After learning the price of the wine, everyone was unwilling to drink another sip, just staring at it.

However, there was one exception, and that was Ye Feng. Ye Feng was still leisurely eating his food and drinking wine, seemingly not taking it to heart at all. In no time, Ye Feng drank a whole bottle by himself.

Upon witnessing this, the crowd became angry. If it weren’t for Ye Feng claiming Tao Jun’s ordered wine was too crappy, Tao Jun would not have brought in these three bottles of wine. Now, it led to a situation where he couldn’t pay and had to have money sent over.

A good old classmates gathering, where everyone was just eating together, had been made so awkward by Ye Feng alone.

Everyone was reluctant to drink, but Ye Feng alone finished an entire bottle.

As Tao Jun’s loyal sidekick, Su Fan quickly noticed Tao Jun’s extreme displeasure.

Su Fan stood up and said to the waiter, "Young man, you saw it. That entire bottle was drunk solely by him. He’s not very familiar with us. Later, my boss will only pay for two bottles. Let him pay for his own as he drank it by himself. After all, you were here watching, and we didn’t drink from his bottle."

"This..." upon hearing Su Fan’s words, the waiter’s eyes showed a hint of awkwardness.

Tao Jun also nodded, "Correct, we didn’t drink from that bottle. Let him pay for his own."

Everyone nodded in agreement, feeling very annoyed with Ye Feng, "Yes, we don’t know this man well. You go find him; he should pay for his own drink. It has nothing to do with us!"

"Exactly. Exactly. None of us touched that bottle. We shouldn’t have to pay for it!"

Yet, Ye Feng didn’t care at all, while Zhao Ziming and Zheng Yonggang both displayed cold smiles, disregarding the matter entirely.

The waiter had no choice but to compromise, having seen Ye Feng drink an entire bottle by himself. If they weren’t going to pay, he would have to approach Ye Feng for payment.

The waiter approached Ye Feng directly, "Sir, the bottle you drank costs one million. According to the rules of our establishment, this kind of wine needs to be paid for in advance. Please settle the bill..."

Everyone looked at Ye Feng, their eyes gleaming with schadenfreude. They all remembered Ye Feng as a jobless vagrant; when he was a student, they knew he was an orphan, his parents having disappeared when he was in school.

Thus, it was impossible for Ye Feng to be a rich second generation. How could a jobless person afford a million?

Everyone watched Ye Feng with derisive smiles, waiting for him to embarrass himself, with Su Fan and Tao Jun feeling the most smug.

At that moment, Ye Feng still maintained his relaxed demeanor and then took a card out of his pocket.

That card was Ye Feng’s Dragon Country Bank black card. Ye Feng nonchalantly said, "Swipe the card. For the three bottles of wine and all other expenses here, let’s settle it together..."

"What!" Everyone was shocked, staring at Ye Feng, not expecting him to actually be able to pay.

Even the waiter was surprised, not expecting Ye Feng to really settle the bill. After all, in the private room, Tao Jun seemed to be the wealthiest, not Ye Feng, yet Ye Feng remained calm and composed.

"Staring at me for what, the password is six ones, go ahead!" Ye Feng said impatiently.

"Yes!" The waiter nodded and soon left the room.

"How could he have money?" Su Fan was entirely unable to believe it, staring at Ye Feng in shock.

Everyone couldn’t believe it either; after all, the people present were only around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Everyone had just graduated and started working a few years ago; how could they be so wealthy? Three million, and Ye Feng didn’t even blink.

Ye Feng did not explain, but continued to enjoy his meal.

Zhao Ziming showed a disdainful smile, "A bunch of fools. Ye Feng is a high-level executive at Lin Group. Did you really think he’s jobless? A mere three million is nothing to Ye Feng, you short-sighted fools!"

Zhao Ziming was speaking directly to Su Fan. Upon hearing this, Su Fan became even more shocked, "Impossible, how could he be a high-level executive at Lin Group? He only scored a little over three hundred in his exams back then. How could such a loser be a high-level executive at a big conglomerate like Lin Group?"

Everyone was shocked, eyes fixed on Ye Feng, completely disbelieving. Zhao Ziming sneered coldly, "If you don’t believe it, you can go to Lin Group and ask anyone to see if it’s true. Why would I need to lie to you?"

Hearing Zhao Ziming’s words stirred even more waves in everyone’s hearts.

Su Fan still refused to accept, "I won’t believe it. You guys keep pretending, I think that card has no money at all!"

"Exactly!" At this moment, Tao Jun stood up, sneering at Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, you may deceive everyone else, but not me. The card you gave earlier is from Dragon Country Bank, and my sister works there. Dragon Country Bank doesn’t have that kind of bank card. You gave a fake card, didn’t you!"

"So it turns out, he’s a fraudster!"
