Chapter 452 Sky-high bill
The waiter carefully brought the 2o bottle of 82-year-old Lafite to pour wine for everyone.
Everyone raised their glasses, and the old squad leader said excitedly: "I have never drunk such a good wine. It must be very expensive, which made President Shao spend money."
Other old classmates also said: "This rescue must be very expensive. If we don't change to other cheaper bars, Mr. Shao's money will not fall from the sky."
It has already reached this point, Shao Mingtong could only smile and say without a smile: "This wine is fine, it is not expensive, I can afford it, everyone can drink it with confidence."
"Okay, cheers to our pure, crystal-transparent friendship without any impurities!" said the old squad leader.
"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank a big sip of red wine.
Those people were drinking as if they were drinking Shao Mingtong's blood, and Shao Mingtong's heart ached.
The old literary committee member raised his glass: "I wish you all, and toast to Mr. Shao's heroic spirit!"
"Cheers!" Everyone took another big sip.
Shao Mingtong's heart hurts again.
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
...
Shao Mingtong's heart is full of holes...
The old squad leader was a little obsessed with drinking, and said with his arms around Shao Ming, "Old classmate, you must help me. I was suppressed by my boss and couldn't stay in the company anymore. Please let me go to your company!"
Shao Mingtong nodded: "No problem."
Another old classmate said: "Mr. Shao, I don't want to be a security guard in my original place anymore. I'll go to your company. You can arrange a better job for me, just a little better than before."
Shao Mingtong nodded: "No problem."
Afang also said: "Mr. Shao, although I don't have much ability, my family is in trouble now. Can you arrange a job for me?"
Shao Mingtong said: "Don't worry, I'll do it all."
When the food was almost the same, Shao Ming and the waiter went out to check out.
Shao Mingtong was already in pain. The moment she walked out of the room, Yin Jinglong shouted again: "Is it time to pay the bill so soon? It's rare for everyone to get together. Why don't you just give everyone a bottle of Moutai, Wuliangye, etc., and everyone brings a few bottles of wine to go home, how happy?"
The old classmates expressed their approval with their eyes.
But Shao Mingtong was not happy, his wallet hurt very much. Fei Songya was also bleeding, and her cosmetics and bag were about to shrink.
Yin Jinglong ordered dozens of bottles of Moutai and Wuliangye on the menu with a lightning speed.
Shao Mingtong followed the waiter to the counter with a gloomy face to check out. Shao Mingtong felt very up and down. How much does this meal cost...
Shao Mingtong lit a cigarette and asked nervously: "How much is it? Have you calculated it?"
The cashier just calculated the price, put down the calculator, looked up, and smiled and said, "Hello, sir, the total is 2.88 million yuan. If you remove the fraction, we only charge you 280,000 yuan. How do you settle the bill?"
"What!" Shao Mingtong was shocked, "Why is it so expensive? I have to look at the bill!"
The cashier and several waiters frowned. They thought Shao Ming and his grandmother were so generous, but they didn't expect that Shao Ming would be so ungraceful when he saw the bill.
"I really want to do it, sir." The cashier handed over the bill to Shao Mingtong.
The more Shao Ming looked at the bill, the more angry he felt. Damn, Yin Jinglong ordered all the delicacies of mountains and seas. He really knew how to order food, and the most expensive ones ordered.
"The prices here are too unreasonable. You are setting prices randomly, deceiving consumers' rights. Do you know?" Shao Mingtong could afford so much money, so he could only say, "If I go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to report you, what do you think?"
The waiter's attitude suddenly disappeared from the previous respect. She sneered: "Sir, our Jiang Family Restaurant is one of the highest-end restaurants in the city. Don't bully me just a waiter, and you think I have no knowledge. There are many high-ranking officials and nobles who come to us to consume. Sometimes they pay millions or tens of millions of dollars, and they don't say anything. If you can't afford to spend, you can order the cheapest dish from the beginning. If you want to make trouble, we can only call the security guard first and then call the police."
Several waiters were about to call the security guard.
"No, no." Shao Mingtong's face turned green. He thought he was a well-known figure. If he was detained by security guards and sent to the police station because he could not pay the bill, his reputation would be ruined.
Especially with so many old classmates there, is he still shameful?
"I can definitely check out, give me a few minutes."
Shao Ming went to the private room and called Fei Songya out, and asked in a low voice: "How much private money do you have? Lend it to me first."
Fei Songya took two steps back and said vigilantly: "What do you want to do? The money is the pocket money you gave me, and you still want to go back?"
Shao Mingtong frowned and said, "The money for checkout is a bit insufficient. You lend it to me first and I will return it to you."
Fei Songya asked, “How much does it cost to check out?”
Shao Mingtong took a deep breath and said, "280,000."
"Damn!" Fei Songya was so scared that she sat on the ground, "Yin Jinglong is so cruel. If you order such expensive dishes, you won't go bankrupt because of this meal? My private money is only tens of thousands of yuan, how can it be enough?"
Shao Mingtong looked at Fei Songya and said, "If the company is in charge of me, I will definitely be able to pay this bill. However, the company's dominance is in the hands of my brother, and he only gives me one million pocket money every month, which is abominable. It seems that I have to borrow money from my brother."
Shao Mingtong took out the phone and called his brother, saying respectfully: "Brother, I have something urgent to do. Can you advance my salary?"
Shao Mingtong's brother was very disgusted with this incompetent brother and said arrogantly: "Why are you so spending money? I just gave you one million pocket money this month a few days ago. Did you use it up so quickly?"
Shao Mingtong said humbly: "Brother, isn't I in an urgent matter? If I were as good as you, I wouldn't be short of money. For the sake of our father, give me the advance salary, right?"
My brother's voice sounded very superior: "Forget it, no matter how useless you are, it's my brother. How much do you need?"
Shao Mingtong said nervously: "280,000."
After silence for 10 seconds.
"Hey...hey...what are you talking...I can't hear...the wind is so strong outside...no signal...doudu..."
My brother hung up the phone.
Shao Ming stood there blankly, feeling weak all over. He scolded his brother a hundred times in his heart.
Then, Shao Mingtong called his father again. His father was sitting on a lounge chair in the garden, basking in the sun, listening to Peking Opera, very leisurely.
Suddenly, when he saw Shao Mingtong's caller ID, he couldn't help but frown. His eldest son was very good and good at managing the company, but his younger son only knew how to eat and wait for death, which made him angry.
"What's the matter?" My father's voice was a little unhappy.
