The organizer of the gathering, Li Shan, opened the door to the private room as if unveiling a treasure. “Jiayi, here’s the private room we’ve reserved for your celebration. What do you think?”
Fang Jiayi glanced around and was momentarily taken aback. Then, she smiled and spoke in her typically gentle manner, “It’s quite nice. It’s just that our class is quite large, but that’s alright. It adds to the liveliness.”
Li Shan caught the meaning behind her words, and her expression stiffened slightly. Given that the larger private rooms offered no discounts and didn’t include beverages or snacks, she had opted for this room. Fang Jiayi had returned to a well-off family and had undoubtedly seen many opulent places, so it was understandable that she might not be thrilled with this smaller private room.
Suddenly, Lu Chen interjected with tenderness, “Today, it’s my treat. You’re here to celebrate Jiayi’s accomplishments, and I’m Jiayi’s fiance, so it’s only right for me to cover the bill.”
The unexpected announcement left everyone in the room speechless.
“I’ll ask them to upgrade the private room,” Lu Chen continued, his gaze fixed on Fang Jiayi, brimming with affection. “Buddy, you’ve contributed to this celebration. I’ll cover all the expenses today. Everyone, just enjoy yourselves.” Fang Jiayi was touched, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. Basking in the limelight was like a breath of fresh air!
Li Shan felt compelled to remind him, “Lu Chen, upgrading to a larger private room will require an additional payment.”
“How much?” inquired the other students.
“This club has top-tier private rooms, high-end private rooms, spacious private rooms, mid-range private rooms, and small private rooms… The one we’ve booked is considered a mid-range private room.” The first three private room categories required additional payments.
“For the top-tier private room, the supplementary charge is over 10 million yuan, and reservations need to be made well in advance.”
“The high-end private room doesn’t require a reservation, but the extra cost is over five million yuan.”
“Large private rooms are considerably more affordable. You only need to make a top-up of just over a million yuan.”
Fang Jiayi felt a touch of anxiety upon hearing Li Shan’s words. The extra cost was quite high, and even though Lu Chen was a wealthy heir, he might not be willing to spend such a substantial amount for a gathering. However, she had already suggested upgrading the private room, and she didn’t want her classmates to ridicule her if they didn’t follow through.
“Lu Chen, I think this private room is actually quite nice. We don’t need to upgrade it…”
“I’ll check if there’s any availability in the top-tier private room,” Lu Chen responded with determination. He couldn’t allow himself to backtrack on his statement.
“Jiayi, your fiance is incredibly generous… Ten million!”
Fang Jiayi hadn’t expected Lu Chen to be so devoted to her…
As a passing waiter approached, Lu Chen politely stopped him to inquire about the possibility of upgrading the private room.
Not only Fang Jiayi but some of her classmates were also touched by his gracious demeanor.
“The top-tier private room is the only one available tonight, as our boss is hosting friends there. I apologize for the inconvenience. Would you consider upgrading to a high-end private room or a spacious private room instead?”
Lu Chen inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. “In that case, let’s change to a high-end private room.”
The waiter explained, “A high-end private room requires a top-up of over five million yuan…”
“Alright,” Lu Chen agreed. “Please arrange for the room first, and we’ll accompany you to make the payment.”
The waiter nodded, saying, “Certainly, sir. Right this way, please.”
Meanwhile, Tang Nan arrived in a 30 million Koenigsegg Agera R and parked in front of the club. As she disembarked from the car, she playfully twirled the key around her finger and asked, “Where’s Qiao Bei? Didn’t he promise to personally park my car?”
“The two ladies are here. Don’t mention parking, I’m at your service for anything!” The voice belonged to Qiao Bei, the club’s owner. Upon learning of their arrival, he rushed out to welcome them.
Fang Yuan couldn’t help but smirk. After not seeing him for a while, this young man was evolving into more of a daredevil. He exuded an unabashedly flamboyant vibe.
“So, how have you been with your real family?” Qiao Bei asked casually, his striking left ear stud drawing attention.
Fang Yuan responded composedly, “They’re doing quite well.”
Qiao Bei continued, “If you ever face any issues, just let me know. 1’11 handle it for you.”
“It’s been a while since we’ve met, but you’re still as chatty as ever. Do you really not understand who she is? Why would she need your help?” Tang Nan tossed the car keys to him. “Drive carefully. If you damage the car, you’ll be covering the repairs.”
“Alright, alright, 1’11 cover everything!” Qiao Bei grinned mischievously. “If it gets damaged, I’ll replace it with a new one.”
After Tang Nan entered the club, she turned to Fang Yuan and said, “Head to the private room first. I’ll go check out this guy’s top-notch collection.” Qiao Bei had mentioned that he intended to create a wall in the club’s private collection room to showcase his extraordinary collection. Any one of those items would serve as the grand finale of an auction.
Fang Yuan quipped, “Yes, pick the most expensive ones.”
Tang Nan responded with a smile, “No problem!”
The waiter couldn’t help but suppress a grin. This was true friendship! It appeared that the boss was planning to splurge tonight.. Each of those collectibles held significant value…
