Chapter: 1095
Mrs. Li hurriedly waved her hand: "No need, no need. I've never been to such a good place before. We won't order anything; it's better for the young folks like you to decide."
Jiang Ming took over the menu without hesitation, smiling and saying, "I'll order that one instead!"
He then immediately summoned a waiter and said, "Come on, let's order!"
The waiter came over, and Jiang Ming started ordering, but this time he was particularly careful, only ordering expensive dishes.
Right away, he ordered an extremely valuable abalone dish for each person - this one dish alone cost 1888 yuan.
Zhao Zhaoyue took a look at the menu and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god, Jiang Ming, this dish is too expensive! Just this one order costs over 20,000 yuan! We can't afford it!"
This dinner was Jiang Ming's proposal to pay half the bill, with the rest of the group splitting the remaining cost - that is, everyone would be contributing, just like before.
But once the bill became so high, even if Jiang Ming paid half himself, the remaining amount would be a huge burden for others.
Jiang Ming looked at Zhao Zhaoyue with some disdain and said, "It's no wonder your future mother-in-law is still pinching pennies. You're always pinching pennies yourself, and you get scared just looking at the menu. Your mother-in-law will definitely demand a larger dowry to ensure her daughter doesn't suffer any injustice!"
Zhao Zhaoyue looked embarrassed and gloomy, saying, "Jiang Ming, I don't have as much money as you do. Honestly, I'm so poor that my weekly expenses are only 100 yuan, and I have to drink tap water and eat instant noodles at the company dormitory every day... I can't even afford a electric kettle!"
Jiang Ming spoke coldly, "That's why you're poor - it's because of your attitude and consumption habits. If you don't change, who else will?"
Taking a pause, Jiang Ming said again, "What's money? Money only exists when it's spent. If not spent, what's the point? It's just paper in my wallet and numbers in the bank account. Moreover, I've already agreed to help you make money. If you can't even spare a few dollars for dinner, then I won't consider you as a friend anymore, it's too embarrassing."
Zhao Zhaoyue immediately closed his mouth upon hearing this.
He had already treated Jiang Ming as his lifeline, so no matter what, he couldn't go against Jiang Ming's will.
Otherwise, his own life would have no hope left.
The others at that moment also thought Jiang Ming was ordering too luxuriously. However, after listening to him scolding Zhao Zhaoyue, everyone else didn't dare to speak up again either.
They all felt that since someone had already paid half the bill, and the rest of us were paying another half, if we still complained about being poor, our faces would be really hard to hold up.
At this moment, Jiang Ming said to the server again, "Bring us a 5-jin lobster!"
The server nodded and said, "Sir, our premium lobster here is 688 yuan per jin. Is that okay?"
Jiang Ming waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Okay, no problem at all, what's there to not be able to get? Just bring it up!"
He then added, "Oh, and that Black Lady champagne, bring me two bottles!"
The server opened his mouth to say, "Sir, the Black Lady champagne is 18888 yuan per bottle, and once it's open, you can't return it. Is that okay?"
Jiang Ming immediately said, "Okay! Hurry up and bring it over!"
When he suddenly ordered two bottles worth 18888 yuan, everyone was taken aback.
Calculating this, the dinner bill would already be over 60,000 yuan. Even if we paid half, each person would have to pay at least 3,000 yuan! JrNovels.com
