V4C20 – Running From A Debt (2/2)

“Okay, please have a look!” The waitress handed the bill to Guan Yang. Guan Yang snatched it and immediately started to look.

“What the hell? How could three bottles of red wine be worth 450,000 Yuan! Has the world gone mad or something?! What kind of international joke is this?” Guan Yang pointed towards the prices on the bill and yelled in anger.

“Mr. Guan, all of it is correct. The red wine you chose was Romanée-Conti, one of the best red wine available in the resort. In B City, our resort is the only place where you can get this. 150,000 Yuan for a bottle is already very reasonable!” The waitress answered.

“Utter nonsense! You think I am a fool! Where in the world does a bottle of red wine cost 150,000 Yuan? You think I am a f***ing turkey?” Guan Yang’s temperament was getting violent as he held the bill and kept on shouting, “Right, didn’t you people say liquor and other drinks were free, then why are we being charged for it? Motherf***ers, I am gonna hold a press conference and drag your resort and smash it into mud!”

“Mr. Guan, the beer, and drinks are indeed free, but you still need to pay for red wine! It is clearly written on the menu!” The waitress’s complexion was already getting very bad.

“Then why didn’t you say that beforehand!” Guan Yang looked at the bill before him with worry. If what the waiter said was true, then the amount was astronomical! And looking at the situation, he was sure the resort wasn’t pulling a prank on him!

“Everything is already written on the menu. We have no obligation to explain anything. Sir, you won’t be trying to repudiate a debt?” The waitress’s face was becoming more and more gloomy.

Looking at the scene before them, all his classmates understood the matter from beginning to end. As Guan Yang felt their gazes burn into his flesh, he wished there was a hole for him to jump in and hide! He couldn’t wait to find a drill and tear the earth to bury himself inside!

“Repudiate a debt! I, Guan Yang, am a man who will never do something like that……However, right now……” Though he spoke till here, Guan Yang’s voice lacked any confidence. He knew that there wasn’t a way to deny the bill. This time, he had been utterly disgraced!

“Ah, right! I remembered,” Lu Jia suddenly stood up and yelled, “A moment ago, Liu Lei said he will treat everyone to liquor. You should ask him for money!”

“Yes, yes, yes. This Romanée-Conti wine was also chosen by Xu Xueyun, so it’s all on them! The one who should pay for it is them!” Guan Yang shouted as he slapped his head and felt enlightened.

Thinking till here, Guan Yang didn’t care about his face or prestige. He only knew he had to get rid of this debt no matter what!

As Wang Yu already considered Guan Yang to be unpleasing to her eyes, and know that she heard him trying to dump his debt onto others, she said with a sarcastic tone, “I wonder who was it who said to put everything on their tab just now?”

“This……” As Guan Yang thought about it, he realized there seemed to be such a thing. A moment ago, he was drunk and spouted nonsense. But it was all on the premise that wine and drinks were free. How would he have known there was a different fee for red wine? It was a slip of the tongue that will now drown him in sorrow. Too much nonsense leads to death! However, if he agreed at this moment, then he will have to acknowledge the debt of 400,000 Yuan!

Just because his family is rich doesn’t mean he is rich. The pocket money and living expenses Guan Yang got for the semester was altogether 30,000 Yuan. He had thought that he will need to spend at most 10,000 Yuan at the resort, so he only brought 10,000 Yuan in cash, and there were only 10,000 more Yuan in his card. And even if he was killed, he wouldn’t be able to take out 400,000+ Yuan! If his father found out he spent 450,000+ Yuan on just food and drinks, he will certainly kill him!

Although Wanyan Industries wasn’t small and had millions in its assets, and over 10 million in the working capital, it was all the company’s money! Guan Yang’s family wasn’t very rich themselves. It was just him boasting when he claimed his family to be the richest in Songjiang. In fact, as the capital of Songjiang province, there weren’t just one or two people much richer than them.

“Hehe, that was just me trying to act polite to strengthen my relationship with him!” Guan Yang said slyly, “Liu Lei already said it would be his treat. If I pay for everything, then wouldn’t I not be giving him any face. Won’t he not agree to it? What do you say?”

The only thought Guan Yang had at this moment was to get out of this as soon as possible. He didn’t care whether I agreed or not. He didn’t want to think about it either. After all, getting passed the debt of more than 400,000 wasn’t something anyone would agree to!
