C24 Unintentionally Showing the Balance of the Bank Card
"Wow! The food from the small kitchen!"
"Lin Dong is so generous. Guys, dig in!"
"The cafeteria food is just terrible. I didn't get enough to eat at lunch, and now we've got this delicious food from the small kitchen! Haha!"
"We're in for a treat!"
...
The classmates were all calling out with excitement.
Their enthusiasm was palpable.
At that moment, Lin Dong had earned the goodwill of the entire class with just a few words.
Seeing everyone's eager faces, Lin Dong chuckled and said, "Liu, could you help hand these out?"
Liu Wenming instinctively let out an "oh."
The Kitchen Manager handed over the packaged lunchboxes he was carrying to Liu Wenming, Tian Chao, and Zhou Hengyu.
At that point, the students all rushed over.
They didn't wait for the servers to distribute the food, instead reaching for the plastic bags hanging from their arms and hands.
"Don't crowd, everyone! If you push, you won't get any food!"
Liu Wenming bellowed.
The students quickly dispersed, restoring order to the scene.
Liu Wenming felt a surge of satisfaction.
His background wasn't prestigious.
Compared to Lin Dong, Tian Chao, and Zhou Hengyu, he was practically invisible in the class.
Lin Dong, with his good looks, could easily get girls to chat him up.
Liu Wenming, on the other hand, was overweight and often the butt of jokes. Who really took him seriously?
But now, things were different. Riding on Lin Dong's coattails, he was finally able to command his classmates for once!
It was a feeling that you just couldn't understand unless you experienced it yourself.
Afterward, with the help of Tian Chao and Zhou Hengyu, everyone started to pick up their lunchboxes.
While the students were busy collecting their food, the Kitchen Manager approached Lin Dong, holding the Pagani Huayran car keys in both hands.
"Lin Dong, here are your keys!"
The Kitchen Manager naturally used a respectful tone.
Lin Dong smiled and replied, "I was just about to look for you. I didn't expect you to bring the keys to me. My phone is back up, so I can settle the bill with you."
"Oh no, what are you talking about? It's just a meal, and for someone of your stature, it's nothing. Consider this meal on the house; no need to pay!"
The Kitchen Manager spoke with a generous air.
Simultaneously, he cradled the keys to the Pagani Huayra sports car in both hands and handed them to Lin Dong.
Lin Dong nonchalantly pocketed the keys, but while holding his phone, he said, "Paying for a meal is only fair. Your dishes have costs too. I heard you made an extra serving, so I'll cover the cost for two servings. Two thousand dollars! Consider it a tip for your hard work."
The Kitchen Manager quickly gestured no with his hands.
At that moment, Lin Dong added, "Let's settle it through WeChat. I don't like owing people."
Seeing Lin Dong's firm stance, the Kitchen Manager didn't protest.
Running his tea and meal business, he encountered many people daily and understood that Lin Dong preferred not to be entangled in obligations.
Resisting Lin Dong's wishes now could risk offending him, a prospect the Kitchen Manager found daunting.
Having witnessed Lin Dong's Pagani Huayra, the Kitchen Manager held him in high esteem.
How could he dare to cross someone of such stature?
The Kitchen Manager pulled out his phone and opened WeChat, ready to scan.
Lin Dong also retrieved his phone, but his finger trembled and accidentally tapped the messaging app, revealing a bank notification.
"Your account number XXX has received a deposit of 100,000,000 yuan, balance..."
The message was only partially visible as it hadn't been fully opened.
Yet, the string of zeros in that snippet nearly dazzled the Kitchen Manager.
So many zeros!
So wealthy!
The Kitchen Manager's fingers quivered with shock.
He had never seen such an amount of money in his life!
At that moment, he was overwhelmed with panic for having previously obstructed Lin Dong's departure and for underestimating him.
