Chapter 976
Jeff waved his hand before he said, “Yes, of course! Why not? Just serve us the dish!”
After he was done speaking, Jeff continued saying, “Oh, by the way, please bring us two bottles of Aceof Spades champagne!”
The waiter replied, “Sir, a bottle of Ace of Spades champagne is $18,888.00. It is also non-refundableonce the bottle of champagne is opened. Is that okay?”
Jeff replied immediately, “Yes! Hurry up and serve it as soon as possible!”
When they heard that he had just ordered two bottles of champagne which cost $18,888.00 each, all ofthem could no longer sit still.
After doing the calculation, this meal had already cost more than sixty thousand dollars. Even if theywould only have to pay for half of the bill for dinner tonight, wouldn’t they still have to pay thirtythousand dollars then?
Even if they were to split the bill equally among the rest of them, each of them would still have to paytwo thousand dollars each!
Caleb was a little embarrassed as he said, “Jeff, we don’t have to eat so extravagantly. The reason whywe are having dinner with Mrs. Lewis today is because we want to welcome Mrs. Lewis back home.Mrs. Lewis has just recovered from her illness and she wouldn’t be able to drink any champagneanyway, so why are we ordering two bottles of champagne?”
Jeff replied contemptuously, “Caleb, this is the reason why I look down on you for being poor. Why areyou so afraid when we’re just having a meal together?”
After he was done speaking, Jeff did not wait for Caleb to speak and he immediately told the waiter,“Bring us a plate of big grouper and also a set of one abalone and sharks fin for everyone!”
Jeff hoped that he would be able to order as much as he can. If that was the case, he would be able toearn more money today.
Everyone else could not help feeling a little worried because even if they were to divide the bill amongthemselves, each of them would also have to pay a huge sum of money for the dinner tonight.
However, they were all too embarrassed to say anything at all. No one dared to say that they no longerwanted to eat this dinner anymore. After all, Mrs. Lewis was still here.
Mrs. Lewis could no longer sit still at this time. She said nervously, “Jeff, we really don’t need to be soextravagant when we eat. You’re ordering too many expensive dishes. I’m serious. I can feel my heartshaking simply by looking at the price of the dishes that you have ordered. Could we order somesimpler and cheaper home-cooked dishes instead?”
Jeff was unwilling to let go of any opportunity that he could use to make more money. Therefore, henaturally would not be willing to eat just a simple meal that would only cost a few thousand dollarstonight. If that was the case, he would not be able to make much money at all.
So, he hurriedly said, “Mrs. Lewis, you just have to relax and enjoy this meal tonight. You can count onus to treat you to this meal tonight. You were the one who raised us up. How could we ever forget yourkindness? Why would it matter to us if we have to spend a little more money to treat you to a nicemeal? Even if I have to pay thirty, forty, or fifty thousand dollars for this meal tonight, I’ll be more thanwilling to do so!”
After he was done speaking, Jeff deliberately looked around the table as he looked at the expressionon everyone’s faces.
In fact, Jeff was intentionally trying to occupy the moral high ground just so he could dictate howeveryone should be acting. The context was already very clear. Mrs. Lewis had been so kind towards
each and every one of them, so why would any one of them be unwilling to treat her to a nice dinnertonight?
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, no one dared to oppose his words or express any dissatisfactionat all.
Everyone could only secretly think in their hearts that since they were treating Mrs. Lewis to dinnertonight, then they should just be willing to splurge a little.
At this time, Charlie suddenly sensed that something was amiss. Judging from how Jeff haddeliberately crashed his car in order not to honor his bet, he already knew that he was not a generousperson. On the other hand, he was definitely a villain.
If he was not a generous person, then why was he being so generous when he was ordering the dishestonight?novelbin
Would it be more advantageous for him to order the more expensive dishes?
However, Jeff had already said that he would have to pay half of the bill. Therefore, he would not besomeone who was hired to lure customers to dine in an expensive restaurant.
Then, there could only be another possibility—that Jeff could claim for reimbursement for this meal!
It turned out that Jeff was taking advantage of everyone. If this was the case, then Charlie should justbeat him at his own game then.
As he thought about this, Charlie said, “Everyone, why don’t we do this? I’ll split the bill with Jeff fordinner tonight. Each of us will pay for half of the bill. Even if this meal costs us two hundred thousanddollars, it will be split between the both of us!”
