Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 353: One Hundred Thousand Euros

"..." Liu Jinming nearly fainted when he heard those words. The minimum charge for one table was 100,000 yuan, and gritting his teeth, he could just about handle that. Two tables would be 200,000 yuan—equivalent to half a year’s salary—for the sake of today’s event, he could bear it, which is why he had just blurted out those words.

But Liu Jinming had never dreamed that the young man opposite him would actually pull out a VIP gold card, casually mentioning he wanted to have a meal worth millions. Under such circumstances, he truly couldn’t accept it. If not counting his house, his yearly earnings didn’t even come close to a million. With that in mind, it was simply impossible for him to compete head-on.

As he thought about it, cold sweat broke out on Liu Jinming. He really didn’t know what to do in today’s situation, unable to utter a word, for the words had already been thrown out there, and he couldn’t take them back now. It was truly a case of "riding the tiger and finding it hard to dismount." He had several hundred thousand in his card, and to spend 200,000 to treat everyone to dinner, he could bite the bullet and accept it. But if it came to spending a million, let alone whether he could accept it or not, he didn’t even have that much in his card!

At this... Liu Jinming really didn’t know what to do.

"..."

"..."

Jia Chun and Pan Xiao were stunned on hearing Leng Mei mention a meal costing over a million, instantly realizing their careless words had caused trouble. They couldn’t have imagined that the person across them can be so wealthy and bold as to casually speak of eating a million yuan meal—it was terrifying! Oh my god! A meal worth over a million yuan, is this even meant for humans? It was their own fault for speaking without thinking, and now Director Liu must hate them to death!

The welfare benefits for teachers at Yingbo University are quite good. A teacher’s yearly salary is over 100,000 yuan. But who on earth would spend a year’s salary on a single meal—only a madman! Director Liu’s yearly income is several hundred thousand. To ask him to spend 200,000 was still bearable if he bit the bullet, but now with a meal costing over a million, Director Liu could not possibly cough up that much. No one would throw away a year’s hard work over pride.

Why did they have to speak so impulsively? Without thinking, they stirred up such a mess. So... what should they do now? The group can’t just stand around here. Should they go or stay? With this thought, both turned their eyes once again toward Liu Jinming, hoping he would speak up and instruct everyone on what to do next.

Leng Mei felt upset seeing a perfectly good dinner take such a turn. On one hand, some people at the door, relying on their money, wanted to drive away the students; on the other, Jia Chun and Pan Xiao had spoken recklessly, giving their opponents a handle to laugh at everyone. This wasn’t just ridiculing the individuals present, but also mocking Yingbo University. As the top authority at the scene, she ought to step forward and deal with the situation.

As for such matters, Leng Mei never used her family’s power, nor was she likely to call on them to resolve today’s issue. Besides, she wasn’t short on money, nor did she care too much about it. It wouldn’t be a problem for her to treat everyone here to a million yuan meal, but she felt that competing with these scions over vanity and spending so much was utterly meaningless. How should she handle today’s situation, then?

Thinking it over, she ultimately couldn’t come up with any solution, and as usual, her gaze involuntarily fell on Lin Feng, hoping he could think of a good way out.

Lin Feng was engrossed in texting Shen Yao, enjoying the interesting stories she was sharing, and was in quite a good mood. However, he was well aware of what was happening in the private room. He had no good impression of the rich second-generation kids who had walked in to disturb everyone, and their constant calling others "poor ghosts" was annoying him. Glancing at Land Rover and the other show-offs outside, he was considering whether it was time to kick them out.

At that moment, Lin Feng caught Leng Mei’s gaze and immediately understood she was expecting him to come up with a solution. The best way out of the current situation seemed to be sending those rich kids packing and letting the students eat in the private room. Money wasn’t a problem—there was plenty of it. With that thought, Lin Feng nonchalantly pulled out two wads of Euros and tossed them to Leng Mei.

"A hundred thousand Euros should be enough, right? If not, there’s more!" Lin Feng said, then without waiting for a reaction from anyone, continued to look down at his phone and chat with Shen Yao, seemingly unconcerned about the commotion, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"A hundred thousand Euros? Are you kidding?" When Land Rover heard the young man casually pull out a hundred thousand Euros in cash, and even add that there was more, he was utterly astonished. A hundred thousand Euros—what a joke! Who would go around with so much cash? It’s so troublesome! It must be someone crazy;, no sane person would do something like that. Who doesn’t use cards nowadays? Carrying so much cash is such a hassle!

"A hundred thousand, and Euros at that?"

"What a joke!"

"Fake, right?"

...

The others with Land Rover couldn’t believe it when they heard that this young man had produced 100,000 Euros. How could he possibly take out such an amount of money so casually at his young age? If he had that much wealth, why would he go to a school? And to carry such a large sum of money around was simply a sign of lunacy; so they convinced themselves that he must be insane and the two bundles of cash he displayed were surely counterfeit. The 500 Euro notes are not even widely circulated in Europe, let alone China. To have two bundles at once could only mean they were fake!

"100,000 Euros!"

"Teacher Lin has taken out 100,000 Euros!"

"My God, how much money is that in total!"

...

The students from Yingbo University couldn’t believe their ears; nobody thought that Teacher Lin could actually produce 100,000 Euros. That’s enough to buy a decent car! He took out two bundles so easily, and it seemed he still had more. This was simply unbearable! How could Teacher Lin be so wealthy? It was completely unknown before today, carrying around so many Euros... he’s not a person; he’s a walking safe...

"He..." Liu Jinming had never dreamed that Lin Feng would offer 100,000 Euros just like that; it was too exaggerated. When he first returned, he heard that Lin Feng was getting close to Leng Mei, so he was wary of him. But he never imagined Lin Feng would not play by the rules, able to produce such a large sum so casually. It was frightening; never had he heard of him being that wealthy. How could a French teacher come up with such an amount? And to suggest that he still had more—couldn’t that be considered sick, who carries so much cash around!

Moreover, if he could access so much money so readily, then he must undoubtedly be a rich man. Liu Jinming suddenly felt even more perplexed; why would a wealthy person bother teaching at a university? He had never heard of a rich person abandoning a comfortable life to go teach at a school and endure such grievances; it was lunacy. But no matter how rich he was, it was inconsequential; after pursuing Leng Mei for so long, he couldn’t allow for any mishaps, he had to suppress any adverse developments at all costs!

Nevertheless, he had truly lost face today; on one hand, because of these youngsters and on the other, due to Lin Feng. The sight of those 100,000 Euros had left him in a position of apparent poverty, subjecting him to the mockery of everyone present. At the thought, Liu Jinming’s gaze towards Lin Feng turned venomous. Lin Feng, wait and see, I will reclaim what I’ve lost today.

...

Looking at the two bundles of 100,000 Euros in her hand, Leng Mei was utterly speechless. She wasn’t short of money; not to mention anything else, the card in her pocket alone had enough for a meal here. Why would Lin Feng think she was in need of money? The real issue was that this wasn’t something that could just be resolved like this. There was no need to compete with these heirs on spending; paying for a meal worth 100,000 was something only these rich heirs could afford. Besides, what was wrong with eating at the buffet in the main hall? The buffet at Jinjiang Hotel was quite renowned.

"Let’s go, we’re heading to the buffet on the sixtieth floor. Even though we have money, we’re not about to waste it on a meal here," Leng Mei finally decided they should go downstairs to eat. It really wasn’t worth it to spend 100,000 on a meal just to win an argument; that would be too wasteful.

"This... Alright, let’s all listen to Dean Leng and go downstairs for the buffet," Liu Jinming felt like crawling into a hole—if only there were one to dive into without hesitation. He had initially thought about staying for the meal, but since Leng Mei had already spoken, there was no point in stubbornly insisting on eating here, especially when they didn’t have enough money for it. It was best to gracefully accept Leng Mei’s suggestion as a way out of the situation.

Liu Jinming felt utterly humiliated by today’s events. What was supposed to be a good dinner gathering to showcase his connections and capabilities turned into chaos because of a few unreasonable rich heirs, and unexpected acts from Lin Feng, who threw out two bundles of 100,000 Euros on a whim. Both factors combined trampled his reputation to shreds, and the dinner he had worked hard to organize was thrown into complete disarray.

Liu Jinming was filled with regret; had he known it would end up like this, he never would have organized a dinner at Jinjiang Hotel. Now look where it had got him—his face was lost, and instead of earning respect, he was left utterly embarrassed. It was truly depressing how a normal dinner had turned out this way...
