"It truly was not enough money,"
Dongfang Jingjing walked up to the person at the very front of the queue. "I'll buy the number you have."
The person, about to tell Dongfang Jingjing to scram as he looked at his phone, paused when he looked up and saw such a beautiful woman. His tone immediately softened. "Miss, the two handsome guys from your group already asked. I'm in a hurry to eat, please don't ask..."
"Ten thousand."
Dongfang Jingjing said, taking out a stack of cash.
In this day and age, most people wouldn't see so much cash. Unless you were in business, you wouldn't carry this much on you; everyone else used transfers.
"Ten thousand?"
The person wavered. Waiting an hour for ten thousand yuan... he was tempted!
"Fifty thousand."
Seeing his hesitation, Dongfang Jingjing continued.
As she spoke, she produced more cash.
"..."
Wang Qiran and Ning Fengzhi watched this scene, speechless.
It proved Ning Fengzhi’s earlier words were correct. Indeed, the money was insufficient. The method was not wrong, but the price they had offered was not enough to move anyone.
Now, it was simple.
The moment they heard fifty thousand, let alone that one person, everyone else was tempted. Almost simultaneously, several people crowded over, shouting, "I'll take four thousand! I'm next!"
"Three thousand! We'll be third!"
This was the power of money!
Ning Fengzhi had been thinking of impressing Dongfang Jingjing. Now, he understood. It wasn't him who was going to show off, but Dongfang Jingjing.
Dongfang Jingjing had firmly taught him a lesson: money could indeed solve most problems.
The situation even caught the attention of the waiter who was calling out numbers. "How about you give me fifty thousand, and I'll let you in right now?"
As soon as she said that, the thick stack of cash Dongfang Jingjing was about to hand over went directly to the waiter. "Which table."
"Table A22!"
Seeing the money, the waiter's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it. His colleagues who saw this immediately came over.
Then, the two of them discussed and split the money.
Of course, Dongfang Jingjing and her group of five had already gone in.
However, this left everyone else queuing at the entrance dumbfounded.
"My fifty thousand, gone?"
The person stood there foolishly, his hand still outstretched as if the stack of money was about to be given to him, but... under these circumstances, his money had vanished.
Into the hands of the waiter?
He didn't quite understand.
Was no one playing by the rules anymore?
"Jingjing, you're a little wicked," Zhuge Lan said with a light laugh. The sounds of arguments were already starting to erupt from outside.
"How is this wicked?"
As Dongfang Jingjing sat down, the waiter who had led them was incredibly polite, serving them attentively, bringing tea and water with a smile, a stark contrast to the waiters at other tables who would simply drop a "scan to order" and leave.
"Greed knows no bounds. A little teasing is harmless," Dongfang Jingjing said dismissively.
It was only Wang Qiran who suddenly spoke up, "That's not right! Didn't we say we wanted to experience ordinary life? How did you give in so quickly and reveal your hand?"
