Chapter 358: Million Dollar Feast
Once everyone entered the revolving restaurant on the eighty-eighth floor, they finally understood what opulence truly meant. Even when they were on the eightieth floor, they already felt that the decoration there was extraordinary. Now, on the eighty-eighth floor, the luxury was ineffable, with exquisite pieces of art everywhere...
Ah!
Is this real?
This is just too...
...
As the students of the French Department exited the elevator and stepped into the revolving restaurant, they were utterly shocked by its interior decoration. They had only heard about the grandeur of Jinjiang Hotel, but today, they realized that many rumors did not do it justice because it was simply indescribable—so noble and luxurious!
There was only this one feeling in everyone’s heart, and what astonished them even more was that the entire wall of the restaurant was made of glass, and even the flooring beneath their feet was glass, making it seem as though they were walking in midair. Moreover, by looking up, they could see Tianhai’s night view directly through the glass wall.
Upon seeing this, all the students could no longer contain themselves and rushed to the edge of the glass wall. Gazing at the beautiful nightscape of Tianhai, they were all stunned speechless, for they had never imagined it to be so overwhelming. They knew Tianhai’s nightscape was beautiful, but one couldn’t feel it from the streets; now, observing it from the eighty-eighth-floor revolving restaurant gave a profoundly magnificent impression, too stunning for words, with seas of lights in various colors everywhere...
At this moment, the students felt nothing but overwhelming excitement, focusing intently on the scenery outside. Such opportunities were rare, perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and no one wanted to miss it. Thinking this, they took out their smartphones to start taking photos or recording videos—such a beautiful sight had to be preserved forever.
When Lin Feng, Leng Mei, and other teachers arrived, they understood the students’ curiosity upon seeing their novel reactions; losing composure in the face of such beautiful scenery was quite normal. In fact, not just them, but everyone who came up was quite surprised. They knew that the view from the revolving restaurant would be good, but only upon being there did they realize it truly exceeded everyone’s imagination. It was so beautiful that even Lin Feng couldn’t help but take an extra look or two.
While everyone was looking at the view outside, the elevator doors opened one after another, and a series of food carts were wheeled in, placing various foods onto the circular table in the middle of the restaurant before retreating. Originally, there were only four small tables placed in each corner since the eighty-eighth-floor revolving restaurant was not a place for ordinary people to dine. Usually, very few people would eat here; thus, only four small tables were set up in the corners, separated by Panlong carved screens, emphasizing the exclusivity for those dining here.
This arrangement was out of necessity; with so many people dining here this time, they had to resolve it with a buffet-style service.
Huang Shi stood silently beside Lin Feng, curious about who the Boss was chatting with so happily. Weren’t his two sisters-in-law already here? He wondered if the Boss had other girlfriends. As he was deep in thought, he caught sight of the dishes being almost completely served and took the initiative to speak to Lin Feng.
"Boss, the dishes are nearly ready. Do you think we can begin?" Huang Shi took the initiative to speak with Lin Feng, acting very much like a subordinate to Lin Feng now.
"If it’s ready, then let’s begin. Everyone must be hungry by now." Lin Feng didn’t even look up, still holding his phone and chatting with Shen Yao. Hearing what Huang Shi said, he casually responded, signaling Huang Shi to start the evening’s gathering.
"Ladies and gentlemen, teachers and fellow students, the dishes are prepared. Please, let’s eat. I hope everyone has a happy and enjoyable evening." With Lin Feng’s permission, Huang Shi shouted loudly. It was getting late, and everyone was indeed hungry; since that was the case, they could start their meal.
Everyone heard Huang Shi’s voice, turned their heads back, and indeed felt somewhat hungry, but when they saw the dozens of dishes displayed on the central round table, their eyes froze again. All the dishes were luxurious; they recognized only a small part of them, unable to name even half of them.
"Wow! A three-foot-long lobster!"
"That abalone is so big!"
"Wow, it’s really caviar!"
"This is grouper!"
"Could this be bear paw?"
...
When the classmates walked in, they were so amazed that they just stood there, dumbstruck, because these dishes were simply unimaginable. The buffet on the eightieth floor felt extremely good, but the lobsters and abalones there were so much smaller compared to these. At first glance, everything here seemed top-notch—all rare delicacies. Normally, you wouldn’t even see these things, let alone have the chance to taste them. Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, and a question popped into everyone’s minds: just how much would these dishes cost?
Looking at the rare dishes, whose names they could and couldn’t pronounce, everyone was guessing their value. After just roughly estimating a few dishes, they didn’t dare to think further—because the values they guessed had already surpassed everyone’s imagination. If they weren’t mistaken, these dishes should collectively cost over a million. Heavens... a meal over a million? This was truly too extravagant. In their dreams, they never thought they would one day eat these things that they only saw on TV. Nobody could believe what they were seeing was real.
But the reality was right there before their eyes. The fine food was laid out in front of them, making disbelief impossible. Everyone walked over to the dishes, and smelling the fragrant aromas wafting up, some couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
This... this is just too exaggerated!
Liu Jinming stared at the dishes before him, utterly dumbfounded. No matter how you looked at it, he was someone who had seen the world, but these huge lobsters and abalones were outrageously expensive. He thought getting to the buffet here was already a treat, but nobody expected that Lin Feng’s lackey, Huang Shi, would put up such a grand display. Calculating the cost, a meal like this would be terrifying. Just a casual glance was enough to guess—it must be over a million!
My God, a meal costing a million, how is one supposed to live with this? These kinds of scenes are only seen in movies, but now it was unfolding right before his very eyes, shattering Liu Jinming’s self-esteem. He had gone to great lengths to get everyone to dine at the Jinjiang Hotel buffet. In Tianhai, dining at Jinjiang Hotel’s buffet was a great feat. Not to mince words, everyone in Tianhai knew about Jinjiang Hotel, but how many could afford to eat there? Normally, it was already great for the wealthy to dine there.
Yet, as soon as Huang Shi, Lin Feng’s lackey, opened his mouth, he took everyone to the revolving restaurant on the eighty-eighth floor and even brought so many superb delicacies. Now, there was no longer any sign of Liu Jinming that evening—it was all Lin Feng and Huang Shi’s show. Huang Shi really was willing to spend a fortune. Just the raw ingredients for these dishes would cost hundreds of thousands. Using so much money just to learn racing from Lin Feng—he was truly squandering!
Now, Liu Jinming was extremely frustrated. Organizing this dinner was a complete failure. He had intended to use this dinner to build up his image and continue pursuing Leng Mei, but things hadn’t gone as planned. Not only did he not gain any face, but at the critical moment, Wang Lin made him lose face.
What was unbearable was that this dinner ended up favoring Lin Feng, who even gained a powerful lackey like Huang Shi. This Huang Shi had stepped all over Liu Jinming’s pride, making his pursuit of Leng Mei all the more hopeless.
Thinking of this, Liu Jinming glared at Lin Feng with resentment in his eyes. Unconsciously, he blamed all of the evening’s events on Lin Feng. If it weren’t for Lin Feng and his lackey, none of this would have happened. They wouldn’t have dined on the eighty-eighth floor and made him a laughingstock in front of Leng Mei. Liu Jinming couldn’t swallow this no matter how hard he tried. Once he had the chance, he would definitely take care of Lin Feng, blaming him for losing all his dignity that night.
But the future was the future. With so many delicacies that he usually couldn’t see, it made no sense not to eat them. If he missed out now, there would be no next time. With this in mind, Liu Jinming set aside his image, picked up a plate, and joined the students in grabbing the dishes, ready to truly taste these items. Someday when bragging, he’d have the stories to back it up.
These are all rare and exotic delicacies!
How much do these foods cost?
...
Teachers like Jia Chun, Pan Xiao, and others couldn’t believe the dishes before them were real. Frankly, just thinking about it, any of the dishes in front of them equaled several months’ salary. If it weren’t for today, let alone seeing them with their own eyes, they probably wouldn’t even have the chance to catch a whiff. Facing these delicious and fine foods, the shock was extremely profound. Never had they thought they’d one day taste these things. With this opportunity, they were determined to savor them, so they also picked up plates to select the food they liked.
Jia Chun and Pan Xiao were now filled with regret. They had never interacted with Lin Feng before and couldn’t imagine he would be so impressive, making the mighty Crown Prince of the Huang Group pursue him so avidly as a lackey and even bring everyone here for a meal. What was more extravagant was all the variety of exquisite food that was displayed, and the wine was exceptional—all aged for over ten years. This was truly insane. For Huang Shi to become Lin Feng’s lackey, he had really gone all out.
