“Okay, I will open the wine now,” Shang Jin said very respectfully to Feng Jiao, “The dishes haven’t arrived yet, so let’s open the wine and let it breathe a bit. When it’s time to eat, I will personally pour it for you. Does that sound good to you?”
Feng Jiao nodded satisfied, “Alright, let’s drink the wine when we eat.”
They were sitting at a round table, and Shang Jin’s seat was arranged quite far from Feng Jiao because Feng Jiao was the one hosting the dinner tonight, so he had arranged the seating. He placed Tan Rou, Zhuang Liu, and Tao Zhi close to himself, while the others were arranged more randomly.
This provided Shang Jin with the opportunity to add the laxative, and while Feng Jiao was talking to someone else, she quietly opened the bottle, then reached into her pocket for the powder. She dropped the powder into the bottle, gently shook it a few times to make sure the powder fully dissolved in the liquid, and then put the bottle aside.
Before long, the dishes everyone ordered were served. This restaurant was very upscale, all the dishes were prepared by international chefs, and the prices were incredibly steep. Feng Jiao told them to order whatever they liked, so they chose the most expensive dishes on the menu.
When Feng Jiao saw the dishes on the table, each costing over five figures, he felt a pang in his chest. He had been polite in telling them to order freely, not expecting them to be so ruthless in actually choosing the most expensive items. The bill for this meal was probably going to hit seven figures.
Feng Jiao hadn’t officially started working at the company yet, and the money he had was given to him by his family. Although he was usually quite extravagant, he had never spent a seven-figure sum on a single meal.
“The dishes are really great today!” Li Li shared the dish she ordered with everyone, “Especially this fish, I heard it’s air-flown from Antarctica, and it’s absolutely delicious, so I ordered a portion for each person. Everyone, try it and see if it’s as good as they say.”
The bowls for the fish were only palm-sized, but their price was far from small; a bowl cost over five thousand. With everyone getting a bowl, the cost added up to tens of thousands instantly.
Feng Jiao said with a pained expression, “Everyone… enjoy it, the fish must be delicious.”
Tan Rou wasn’t present when the orders were taken. She was unfamiliar with this restaurant and hadn’t seen the price list, so she didn’t know the small bowl of dish was worth over five thousand.
“The taste of this dish is really not bad, it’s just that the portions are a little too small.” Tan Rou remarked, “Plus, the portions served by this restaurant are all small. The dishes are gone before I’ve taken a few bites.”
Li Li smiled slightly, “Tan Rou made a good point. I hadn’t even savored the taste before it was all eaten up.”
Liang Lu then said, “Young Master Feng, since you’re treating us to dinner, you won’t let us leave hungry, right?”
Feng Jiao replied with a laugh, “Of course, you’re supposed to leave full. If you’re not full, you can order more. Order whatever you want, my treat.”
Li Li and Liang Lu exchanged glances, having gotten the response they were angling for from Feng Jiao.
“Waiter, bring over the menu,” Liang Lu gestured for the waiter to come over, “Give everyone a menu. We have quite a few dishes to order. Nobody be modest today, eat as much as you want. Don’t leave hungry.”
Liang Lu’s words had an underlying meaning; she was reminding everyone to eat more and spend as much as possible.
Lu Qing, supporting his girlfriend, feigned excited, “I’ve never had such good food in my life. Thanks to Young Master Feng for this experience; I will not disappoint his generosity.” Having said that, he ordered the most expensive dessert for after the meal, plus a hot soup.
Incidentally, the dessert and the soup also came in very small bowls, so he ordered one for each person.
Feng Jiao also had a menu, so when he saw Li Li and the others specifically choosing small portions of expensive dishes, he felt his eyelids twitch. But he couldn’t well refuse those choices, so he could only ask, “Can you all really finish if you order so much?”
Li Li thumped her chest in assurance, “Don’t worry, Young Master Feng, we definitely won’t waste it. If I can’t finish here, I can always take it to go.”
Li Li’s words reminded others that although they couldn’t eat so much now, they could take the leftovers home. Since it was Feng Jiao treating them, they didn’t have to be polite.
