Jiang Ruizhao didn't quite understand what Mu Changsheng was saying, but at that moment, the waiter brought out plates of food.

Wang Xing looked at the dishes in the waiter's hands, having never seen anything like them before. "Whoa, big restaurants really are different. This looks so appetizing!"

"And this plate, ice cream with beef... they can make that together..."

Du Yaming also exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing that these people were all so inexperienced, Song Haoning felt even more smug. He said generously, "Eat whatever you want today, just eat."

"All expenses today are on Brother Song, so eat your fill."

Jiang Ruizhao said generously, as if he were the one paying.

Song Haoning glanced at Mu Changsheng and said, "Changsheng, you really need to eat more of this today. Eating takeout and Pin Hao Fan every day will lead to malnutrition."

Mu Changsheng smiled at Song Haoning. "Thank you for your concern."

Mu Changsheng didn't hesitate. With such delicious food, it would be a waste not to eat it. He immediately grabbed his chopsticks and began to devour the food.

Seeing this, a cold sneer flashed in Song Haoning's eyes. A bumpkin is a bumpkin.

The others also started eating.

The dishes came out quickly. Mu Changsheng and Xi Chunpeng were like foodies, not speaking at all, just eating.

Song Haoning held a glass of red wine and drank elegantly. Watching Mu Changsheng eat, he mocked, "Changsheng, I know you grew up in the countryside and never had anything this good. Don't rush, no one's going to fight you for it. If you're still hungry, I'll have the waiter bring you more."

"Yeah, Mu Changsheng, this meal is probably enough for two or three months of your living expenses. It's a rare opportunity, so you should eat more."

"After all, delivering takeout is also physical labor."

Jiang Ruizhao said teasingly.

Beside them, Xu Wen felt a bit awkward. Seeing Mu Changsheng, who didn't seem bothered at all, her beautiful eyes flickered. Why... why isn't he angry at all?

What makes him so calm?

In less than half an hour, Mu Changsheng wiped his mouth, glanced at his phone, stood up, and smiled. "I still have deliveries to make, so I won't be staying to eat."

Song Haoning's interest was immediately piqued. "Delivering food late at night? Changsheng, you're really dedicated."

Mu Changsheng chuckled. "After all, I ate so much, I need to digest it."

Jiang Ruizhao teased, "Then you need to be careful. There are quite a few delivery drivers who get hit by cars these days..."

"Each order is only a few yuan, don't risk your life for it."

"After all, you still have your whole life ahead of you."

A hint of coldness flashed in Mu Changsheng's eyes... then he smiled faintly. "Heh heh..."

Song Haoning straightened up and said with a laugh, "Since you want to go deliver food, then go ahead. After all, it's your job. It's not easy for you to earn money."

"That's right, Changsheng. Is your newly bought iPhone 16 still on installment? If so, you really need to work hard and pay it off quickly, otherwise, you won't be able to keep up."

Jiang Ruizhao said sarcastically.

"Hey, Old Jiang, you're saying that. We're all from the same dorm. If Changsheng asks, we can lend him a little money."

Song Haoning looked at Jiang Ruizhao and deliberately accused him.

They were singing from the same songbook.

Wang Xing and Du Yaming lowered their heads and didn't speak. This was simply mocking someone to death.

Xi Chunpeng was also a bit worried. He Shuyu was clearly angered, but Mu Changsheng remained calm and composed.

"Yeah, after all, we're in the same dorm. If you don't have money, you can borrow some, haha."

"I'm leaving now."

Can't find the book title? Try searching for the author, maybe they just changed their name!

Mu Changsheng waved his hand and left the private room. Song Haoning chuckled when he saw Mu Changsheng leave. "Ah, Changsheng is so dedicated. For a few yuan, he stays out all night every day to earn money. It's really..."

Jiang Ruizhao sighed. "Yeah, he finally earned some money and immediately bought a phone on installment... it's really..."

"Old Jiang, you're wrong. Changsheng's old phone, the one he used for over twenty years, was slow. What's wrong with him getting a new phone?"

"His phone lasted twenty years, can you do that?"

Song Haoning said solemnly.

Song Haoning seemed to remember something and shouted, "Changsheng, help me order a bottle of red wine. Don't order any wine we can't afford to drink."

Xi Chunpeng clenched his fists tightly. These two bastards.

Outside the private room

Mu Changsheng looked at the waiter and said with a smile, "Get our private room a bottle of Château Margaux red wine."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then said, "Please wait a moment."

Mu Changsheng glanced back at the private room and sneered, "I hope you can afford the bill for this meal."

After Mu Changsheng left, the waiter quickly returned with a bottle of red wine, opened it, and poured a glass for everyone.

Wang Xing took a sip and his eyes immediately lit up. "Good wine!"

Wang Xing immediately praised Song Haoning, "Brother Song is so generous!"

Song Haoning was slightly stunned. Looking at the red wine in the waiter's hand, it was a brand he'd never seen before, likely a cheap one costing two or three hundred.

It makes sense, he thought, Mu Changsheng, being a country bumpkin, would consider two or three hundred a lot of money.

The girls from Xu Wen's dorm also laughed, "Xu Wen, you've found such a good boyfriend."

Xu Wen smiled, "Haoning is usually like this."

"Then you really have met a good boyfriend."

Jiang Ruizhao chimed in, "Brother Song has always been generous. It's just that some people were too petty before, but thankfully Brother Song is broad-minded and organized this gathering."

Song Haoning beamed with pride and said, "You flatter me, you all flatter me."

Amidst the compliments, Song Haoning saw Xu Wen puffing out her chest, wanting to show off even more. He loudly called out, "Waiter, the bill."

The waiter walked over to Song Haoning with a smile and whispered, "Young Master Song, your total today is 67,432. Rounding it down, you just need to pay 67,400 yuan."

The moment he heard the price, Song Haoning froze. 67,400 yuan?!

Wang Xing and Du Yaming were stunned. Over sixty thousand for one meal?!

The other women were also slightly surprised. Over sixty thousand for one meal?

How luxurious was that.

Jiang Ruizhao hadn't expected Song Haoning to be this generous this time. He immediately laughed, "See? Brother Song treated us to over sixty thousand for this meal."

"This amount is nothing to Brother Song, just a drop in the bucket!"

The waiter chuckled, "Young Master Song, will you be paying by scan or card?"

Song Haoning's back was already drenched in sweat. Over sixty thousand?

Where would he get that much money? He only had a little over thirty thousand on him.

Song Haoning's throat bobbed. He looked at the empty plates on the table, frowning slightly. How could these dishes possibly be worth over sixty thousand?

Song Haoning looked up, frowning, "These few dishes... how can they be over sixty thousand?"
