I Am Born With A Sliver Spoon

Chapter 24

“You? Chen Hao? You want to book a room in this restaurant? Do you know how much it costs?”

Jiang Weiwei looked at Chen Hao scornfully, as if she was looking at an idiot.

Is this dude crazy? Does he think that he can afford a meal in Homecook Kitchen Restaurant?

“Miss, do you know him?”

The manager smiled at Jiang Weiwei while asking her.

To be honest, judging by his clothing, Chen Hao really didn’t look like he could afford to eat here.

The price range of the packages here was from 888 to 18,800.

The most expensive package which cost18,800 was the price for booking a private room, excluding the food and drinks.

Having meals in the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant on Jin Ling Commercial Street was all about taste and class!

The 888 package could only afford the buyer a seat in the lobby.

Depending on which package one picked, the seating and the level of service would of course be different.

The lowest-priced package was actually good enough for Chen Hao.

This manager didn’t look snobbish. She asked the question simply because she was curious. She could tell that they were acquaintances.

“Of course we know him. This fellow is a poor loser who is very popular in Jin Ling College. He is so poor that he can’t even afford his lunch and tuition fees.’ This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“That’s right. We can’t believe he is here for dinner in Homecook Kitchen Restaurant!” said the two pretty girls sitting behind.

Wang Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly. “Weiwei, don’t be so mean. What if Chen Hao was here to run Xu Nan’s errand, which is to book a private room?”

“Oh right!”

The manager smiled at Chen Hao then and asked, “Sir, are you booking the room under your name or under your friend’s name? I don’t mean any offense, I just want to get your confirmation. And which package do you want?”

Chen Hao looked at this manager. She was considered polite compared to the others.

He nodded his head and said, “I’m making the reservation under my name. I’m having guests tonight, and I need three tables.”

“Damn, under your name? And you’re having guests? Hehe…”

Jiang Weiwei crossed her arms.

Although they had paid their bills, they didn’t want to leave. They wanted to know if Chen Hao really made the reservation.

Chen Hao didn’t care about them at all.

Chen Hao heard that Jiang Weiwei and her friends had the 1 ,888 package dinner.

But Chen Hao thought that the dishes weren’t enough for them after scanning through the menu of this package.

If1 want to treat them to a better meal, I should get a more expensive package.

He made up his mind and immediately said, “I’ll go for the 3,888 package. I need three nice private rooms!”

“Ok sir. You have to pay at least 10,000 as a deposit.”

The manager smiled gently.

Jiang Weiwei and the others were stunned.

This b*stard took the package which is more expensive than Wang Yang’s? And he even booked three private rooms! Are you going to eat only potatoes after booking such an expensive package? Insane! He’s mad!

Does he have enough money?

What is he bragging about?

Chen Hao didn’t even look at them. He took out 10,000 from his bag directly and placed it in front of the manager.

Jiang Weiwei was taken aback. “Fine. Since you are able to afford eating here, you don’t have to think about applying for student subsidies anymore! Let’s see how you are going to pay for the tuition fees!”

“Thank you for the concern. Regarding the tuition fees, I’ve paid it already.”

Chen Hao had nothing to say to her

No doubt that she was pretty, but she was too arrogant and she despised the poor.

On the contrary, the girl named Su Xintong whom he met in the hall was quite nice.

That girl left a great impression on him.

She was pretty and quiet.

Just looking at her could make Chen Hao’s heart accelerate.

Too bad that she wasn’t here today.

Jiang Weiwei widened her eyes. “Pardon me? You paid the tuition fees? And you just spent 10,000? Does that mean you have tens of thousands? How… how could that be?”

“Oh, I won the lottery!”

Chen Hao had no choice but to lie. If he didn’t explain, he would never hear the end of this. He used the same lie.

“Won a lottery? How much have you won?” Jiang Weiwei asked impatiently. Chen Hao’s behavior is too abnormal. He is being too generous in spending money. It cost him 10,000 just to book three rooms.

Moreover, the food and drinks are not included yet.

Of course they have to spend on the food and drinks if they are eating in the restaurant.

In that case, three tables will cost him around 60,000.

Therefore, I’m pretty sure that Chen Hao won more than 100,000. No, judging from his arrogance in spending, he should have won at least 200,000 or even more!

“Erm, not much, it’s all here!”

Chen Hao laughed awkwardly and turned away to leave, carrying his bag.

Why should I waste my time here explaining to Jiang Weiwei? I really don’t want to have anything to do with her.

“Humph! What’s the big deal of winning a lottery? You’re nothing compared to the descendants from rich families.”

Jiang Weiwei was displeased because Chen Hao was being snobbish and ignoring her.

“Hehe, Weiwei, there’s no need to be angry at him! Let me tell Xu Nan about this later and he will surely teach him a lesson!”

Wang Yang said coldly.

“That’s right, he only won a few hundred thousand. Why is he being so arrogant? No one cares about his money!”

Jiang Weiwei’s friends scoffed. But Jiang Weiwei had made up her mind to investigate the matter. She wanted to

know how much money he won by all means!

She felt so uneasy about it! In the meantime, Chen Hao had gone back to his college in a taxi.

His afternoon lecture was a pleasant one as he could feel the people around him stopped looking at him distastefully.

In fact, there was a sense of jealousy from a small group of people.

“Chen Hao, which restaurant have you booked? Don’t tell us it’s a normal low- class restaurant?”

After the lecture ended, Xu Nan, Blondie and his gang came to him and asked.

Most of the classmates in the lecture hall looked at Chen Hao curiously too.

Chen Hao laughed and said,“No way, this is my first treat, so it has to be grand. I have reserved tables in Homecook Kitchen Restaurant!”

“What? Homecook Kitchen Restaurant?”

Xu Nan was stunned.

The other classmates also stared at him in surprise.

“Chen Hao, do you mean the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant on Jin Ling Commercial Street?”

Yang Xia strode toward him and asked coldly.

Homecook Kitchen Restaurant was a five- star restaurant. To reserve a table, it cost up to 20,000 excluding the food and drinks.

Chen Hao had only won 200,000 for his lottery. He had to spend at least half of it if he was going to treat everyone.

Despite the fact that Yang Xia was no longer Chen Hao’s girlfriend, she felt anguished that Chen Hao had spent100,000.

She wasn’t distressed that Chen Hao was going to spend such a huge amount of money. She was distressed solely because it was a big amount. Just like how disturbed she felt when Chen Hao bought a bag that cost 360,000.

Yang Xia thought that this money was supposed to be spent on her one day.

“Yes, that’s the place!”

Chen Hao smiled.

“Mother f*cker, are you crazy?” Yang Xia growled and looked at him like he was a moron.

“Hehe, Young Master Chen is so benevolent! Oh Young Master Chen, can we bring our girlfriends or boyfriends along?”

Although Xu Nan was behaving reverently, it didn’t hide his contempt toward Chen Hao.

Yang Hui then spoke up, “Damn, aren’t you ashamed to even accept Chen Hao’s invite?”

“Yang Hui, we’re happy that Chen Hao has won the lottery. Since it’s his treat, how could we not accept it?”

Xu Nan laughed.

Chen Hao had no choice but said, “Sure, it’s alright if you want to come. Your girlfriends are welcomed too!”

Chen Hao knew what Xu Nan was up to. However, he just let Xu Nan be since he had promised to treat them.

“Hurry!”

Everyone in the class was jubilant.

In contrast, Yang Xia looked indifferent. Chen Hao didn’t seem to mind how much he was spending but she was irritated when she thought about the money that could have been hers.

Chen Hao was really annoying her!

Fine!

Since it’s your treat, I’ll bring along Lu Chen to enjoy the food and drinks there.

I’ll eat as much as possible until you become penniless tonight!

I don’t have to feel uneasy about you winning the 200,000 lottery by then.

Yang Xia thought.

Xu Nan had the same thought as well. After the discussion, someone went to inform Lu Chen. The counselor, Meng Cairu was there as well.

She drove Xu Nan and the others there. Chen Hao, Yang Hui and the others booked a car ride on Uber to Homecook Kitchen Restaurant.

“Hell, he really booked the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant!”

Xu Nan did not expect that.

So be it, he thought. It’s in line with my plan anyway.

“Mr. Chen, I’m afraid that three rooms are not enough as you have so many guests. I believe you will need one more room!”

The manager came to Chen Hao and said in a hurry.

“Alright then. Add one more room please.” This was the first time he was profligate after knowing he was a descendant of a wealthy family.

“Chen Hao, if you are adding one more room, it should be the deluxe room since our counselor is here too, don’t you think so?”

Xu Nan grinned at Chen Hao.

“That’s right. The counselor is our senior. How can she be on the same level as us, the ordinary students?”

Xu Nan and the gang kicked up the fuss.

While Meng Cairu crossed her arms and waited for Chen Hao’s response.

Yang Hui and his friends held themselves from arguing with Xu Nan and the gang since the counselor was here too.

Chen Hao was about to nod when Lu Chen stepped in and sneered, “No doubt that you should add another deluxe room for the sake of the counselor. Chen Hao, if you can’t afford it, how about we split the bill for the deluxe room? You won’t have to feel bad about your money then.”

Lu Chen derided.

As he wasn’t in the same class as Chen Hao, he didn’t dare to be as brazen as Xu Nan.

If they split the bill for the deluxe room, not only could Lu Chen let Chen Hao spend more money on food and drinks, he would also be able to satisfy his own ego.

It was all about his own pride!

Indeed, Meng Cairu looked at Lu Chen in full admiration at this moment.

Yang Xia felt proud of him too.

At the end of the day, a loser upstart will always be a loser.

Look at how my Lu Chen behaves, he is indeed the descendant of a rich family!

“Split the bill? I’m fine with that if you insist.”

Chen Hao smiled nonchalantly. Since Lu Chen wanted to challenge him, he didn’t mind taking up the challenge. Anyhow, he was the owner of this restaurant..
