When he heard that the money was only that much, Li Jiayi took out a red banknote from her purse. After counting it, he said, “It's 4,000 yuan. The rest 200 yuan for your expenses.” However, just as Li Jiayi was about to pay, the cashier added, “General Manager Li, someone just paid your bill.”
“What? Has the bill been paid?”
Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded. They looked at each other, not knowing who was paying for this.
Li Jiayi frowned and thought, “I don't pay. Could Chen Yun have given her the money? That's not possible. He was a poor student. It seems that this 3,000 yuan is enough for his living expenses for three months. How could he pay for it? No one else left the private room.”
Li Jiayi kept the wallet she had just issued and looked at the cashier. “Do you know who is paying?”
Cashier said, “General Manager Li, this Manager Yang.”
Manager Yang?
Li Jiayi thought about it and suddenly realized. Manager Yang is Boss Qian's driver, Yang Hang. To flatter Yang Hang, he had the staff call him Manager Yang, which made Yang Hang very happy.
However, Li Jiayi could not understand. Yang Hang was someone he needed to ask for help. Why did he suddenly react? What kind of virtue does Yang Hang show? He really helped her pay the bills!
Li Jiayi did not think too much about it and asked the cashier, “Where is Manager Yang? Where's she?"
“Manager Who has just climbed to the top. She seems to be accompanying a guest.”
When he heard Yang Hang had left, Li Jiayi felt a little disappointed that she had missed another chance to show off.
Of course, this did not stop him from bragging in front of everyone.
As Li Jiayi expected, Mother Yu asked, “Xiao Li, who is Manager Yang?”
Li Jiayi smiled and pretended to be calm. “Manager Yang is Boss Qian's driver. His real name is Yang Hang. Although he was only a driver, due to his special identity, President Qian's subordinates called him Manager Yang.”
When she heard that Manager Yang was Boss Qian's driver, Mother Yu said in surprise, “Xiao Li, it seems like you have a good relationship with him. He helped you pay the bills and left without saying goodbye. He really gives you enough respect.”
“Auntie, you flatter me. We're all here to do business. We all help each other,” said Li Jiayi proudly.
Seeing Li Jiayi's arrogant expression, Zhang Huaiyao was displeased. “Dad, it's late. We have to go.”
Seeing that it was time, Li Jiayi was speechless and could only get up.
However, the next moment, a lady in a professional suit hurriedly walked in. His head was covered in sweat. Seeing everyone was about to leave, he hurriedly said, “Honored guests, our boss asked us to send two bottles of wine, but the key to the wine cellar was broken. It's our fault for just bringing it now.”
The manager spoke in an apologetic tone as he broke out in a cold sweat.
Mother Yu smiled. He picked up the red wine on the table and looked at it. The smile on his face instantly stiffened as he exclaimed, “This. This is dry red wine from the special garden of the Romanee-Conti Winery!”
At the same time, Yu Qingfeng, who picked up another bottle of wine, also said in surprise, “Your bottle of red wine is nothing. The baijiu bottle [a powerful distilled spirit that was inevitable at a Chinese social event] in my hand was actually a bottle of 1949 Maotai. There are only 100,000 bottles in the country. At least hundreds of thousands. This hotel is too generous.
When they realized that the two bottles of wine were delicious wine, everyone present was shocked.
The dishes on this table only cost over 3,000 yuan, but the two bottles of wine given by the hotel are worth hundreds of thousands. What the hell is going on? Everyone can't think about it.
Uncle Zhang carefully sized up the baijiu in his hand and muttered, This “Wine....it can't be fake, right?”
Mother Yu rolled her eyes at him and sneered. “How can a hotel of this size provide fake wine? Isn't this ruining their own reputation?”
Beside him, Yu Qingfeng also said in disbelief, “We only ate dishes worth more than 3,000 yuan, but they gave wine worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. What do you think is going on?”
Mother Yu thought for a moment and her gaze was fixed on Li Jiayi. His eyes immediately sparkled and he said, “I understand. The reason why we got such special treatment must be because of Xiao Li.”
After hearing this, everyone nodded and thought that this was what should have happened. Otherwise, why would the hotel give two bottles of wine worth hundreds of thousands of yuan?
Actually Li Jiayi was very nervous. He knows best how capable he is.
It is quite surprising that the driver, Yang Hang, helped her pay the bill at the swimming club. Now, he actually gave her hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of wine for dinner. He believed that he definitely did not receive much respect from Yang Hang.
However, since everyone thought so, he could only brace himself and pretend to be calm. “I think the Manager must have asked someone to send it. Uncle and Aunt, don't rush off. Why not try this wine? I can only repay the kindness of Manager Yang later.”
Yu Qingfeng said, “Yes, yes, yes. He really appreciates you. You can't ignore it.”
Li Jiayi smiled and opened the two bottles of wine. The women drank red wine while the men drank baijiu. Uncle Zhang asked someone to add a few more dishes so that everyone could continue to taste the wine.
After drinking the baijiu, Yu Qingfeng narrowed her eyes and pondered for a long time. He could not help but praise, “As expected of a baijiu that costs hundreds of thousands. It feels different. However, I drank thousands of yuan in an instant. It's faster than eating gold.”
“Indeed a little extravagant. Normally, we would not drink this type of wine. This time, it was all thanks to Li Jiayi.” Mother Yu smiled and became increasingly satisfied with Li Jiayi.
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang also nodded with a sigh. This wine was much tastier than the wine they used to drink. Although they did not know how to taste it, they could still taste the most basic flavors.
After receiving the praise, Li Jiayi was overjoyed. He immediately asked them for help and said, “It's okay. As long as both uncles love this wine, I can often give it to you to drink in the future.”
At this time, the door of the private room was knocked. A middle-aged man in casual clothes walked in with a warm smile on his face.
