“Charge all the money into this phone card!”
Hua Yue Yu instructed.
“What?”
The part-time working senior was startled, wasn’t there a mistake?
Oh right,
Forty-nine yuan a month, two thousand three hundred and fifty-two yuan for four years, she topped up two thousand five hundred yuan, so if only the monthly fee is used each month, it would be enough for the four years of university.
Sorry!
I was wrong, you’re not the girlfriend of that rich second-generation kid, you’re the rich sister herself, the kind that plays with steel wool balls super slickly.
The part-time working senior silently thought she had misjudged the situation.
Could it be that this junior’s Rolex was also bought by this girl?
Hu Wenwu was in shock.
Buy a phone card for two thousand five hundred yuan?
He didn’t understand; that amount was two semesters of his living expenses.
And that girl is so caring towards her roommate!
“Xiao Bai, give me a chance to repay you!”
Hua Yue Yu looked up at Lin Baici with a pitiful expression.
The guy opposite her had once saved her life, yet she hadn’t done anything for him in return, which made Hua Yue Yu, who never liked to owe favors, feel uncomfortable.
“One isn’t enough, at least three, right?”
Lin Baici joked.
He had realized there was no need to waste energy on such matters.
Being together is what counts, as long as everyone is happy,
it doesn’t matter who spends the money!
The bonds formed through life-and-death experiences
don’t need to be accounted for so meticulously.
As soon as the part-time working senior handed over the phone card to Lin Baici, Hua Yue Yu immediately grabbed Lin Baici’s clothes, “Let’s go eat, I’ve booked a spot at Jixiang Residence, I heard their seafood pot is great!”
“Wait a minute!”
Lin Baici was pulled forward a few steps, then turned back to look at Wenwu, “You go buy the card first.
After you’re done, let’s go eat!”
“No need, I’m not buying anymore.
Oh, you guys go ahead and eat, I won’t go!”
Hu Wenwu felt uneasy about going to dinner with the two of them.
“Come on, the more the merrier!”
Lin Baici invited.
“No, that’s okay, I still have bread left over from noon, it’ll go bad if I don’t eat it!”
Hu Wenwu had never eaten with a female classmate before,
and felt nervous.
Hua Yue Yu wanted to have dinner alone with Lin Baici, but seeing him sincerely inviting Hu Wenwu, she too smiled.
“Let’s go, after this meal, you are my man.
If Xiao Bai is ever tricked by a bad woman, you have to tell me in time.”
Hua Yue Yu’s charisma was off the charts, always making her interactions with her live-streaming audience feel as refreshing as a spring breeze, otherwise, she wouldn’t have become a top-tier host on Shark Live in just over a year, and her current popularity was terrifying—she already had the capability to compete with Shark Big Sister.
“Well… then I’ll impose on you guys!”
Since he had been invited several times, it would be rude not to accept, and Hu Wenwu was also worried that his refusal might make Lin Baici think he didn’t want to be friends.
Honestly, out of the whole dorm room, Lin Baici had given Hu Wenwu the best impression.
“Let’s go!”
Hua Yue Yu stepped into the golden afterglow of the sunset on the cobblestone path, filled with joy, “By the way, Xiao Bai, did you change your phone?”
Lin Baici was now using a Huawei.
“Yeah!”
Lin Baici gave Hua Yue Yu a look, indicating that in front of outsiders, they couldn’t discuss this topic.
“I understand, it got damaged on the train, right?”
Hua Yue Yu was actually quite curious.
That was a mysterious and dangerous Taboo thing, and who knows what strange rule contamination Xiao Bai had encountered?
In the past, Hua Yue Yu could only listen to rumors, but now, she had a friend who was a God Hunter.
She could get more of such news,
and might even see pictures of a God,
which felt awesome!
“Ah!” Hua Yue Yu suddenly exclaimed, “I forgot to ask, are you hurt?”
Lin Baici was completely intact and looked healthy enough to endure One Night Nine Stabs, making Hua Yue Yu forget to ask if he was injured.
“No!”
Lin Baici laughed heartily.
The Taboo game last night was hugely profitable for him.
He received the Divine Grace ‘Red Rolling Stone,’ the Taboo thing nautilus shell, and a mysterious eyeball from God’s bones, met Xia Hongyao, had a chance to join the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, and would get a six hundred thousand yuan salary, one hundred and twenty Meteorite Coins in benefits, not to mention countless other perks.
Oh yes, and a one-million-yuan bonus.
The three chatted casually as they walked out of the east gate of the university.
Haijing Polytechnic has two main gates, front and back.
The main entrance is on Fu An Road, a major street where urban management bans street vending, so fruit stalls, snack stands, and the like are all concentrated on the back street, which is the street coming out of the east gate.
With more foot traffic, restaurants, barber shops, flower shops, and internet cafes have also set up shop here.
The whole street caters to the student economy.
Jixiang Residence is a two-story building.
Turning left when exiting the school and moving one hundred meters forward, you’ll find it with a big sign, featuring an antique design complete with two red lanterns hanging.
Since today is Haijing Polytechnic’s freshman registration day, Jixiang Residence, being the top restaurant in the vicinity of this school, is naturally crowded, with cars already filling the curbs nearby.
As Lin Baici and the others stepped onto the stairs and entered the lobby, they indeed saw a bustling crowd.
A waiter dressed in a deep blue restaurant uniform immediately came to them, “I’m sorry, you three, our restaurant is fully booked.
If you want to eat, you’ll need to wait for a table!”
“I reserved a private room, number 208.”
Hua Yue Yu had anticipated this situation, so she had reserved a room in advance, and even gave a five hundred yuan deposit.
Otherwise the owner might give the room to someone else.
“Oh, please wait a moment, I’ll check for you!”
After speaking into the walkie-talkie with someone at the front desk, the waitress apologized with a smile, “I’m sorry, but Room 208 is already taken.”
“Taken?”
Hua Yue Yu’s delicate eyebrows immediately furrowed, “Why would there be someone else?
I paid a deposit, do you want to see the transfer record?”
“This… I’m not quite sure.
Will you three still be dining?
You could take a number and wait.
The guests in Room 208 should be finishing soon.”
The waitress offered an apologetic smile.
“Take a number?
Go call your manager!”
Hua Yue Yu was furious.
It was her first time inviting Lin Baici to dinner, and such a thing had to happen – it was thoroughly disappointing.
After notifying the manager via walkie-talkie and saying a few more words, the waitress smiled apologetically at Hua Yue Yu, “If you’re here to eat, you can have the table once the current guests are done.
If not, I’ll refund your deposit.”
They have the payment record on Alipay, so there’s no denying it,
“What?”
Hearing this, Hua Yue Yu exploded like a wild cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Your restaurant makes a mistake, and instead of the manager coming out to apologize, you think a waitress can shoo me away?
Normally, Hua Yue Yu wouldn’t care too much; she would simply go elsewhere.
But today, she was treating Lin Baici to a meal!
This was the person who had saved her life.
Hua Yue Yu could no longer suppress her anger.
“Don’t make me repeat myself.
Get your manager here!”
Hua Yue Yu had over six million followers online, not bought with money but real fans.
With her status as a top livestreamer on Shark Station and an annual income of several million, she wasn’t short of financial clout.
That was Hua Yue Yu’s confidence in demanding justice.
In the Jixiang Residence’s hall, roughly thirty tables of customers were waiting for their seats; upon hearing the commotion, they all looked over.
With someone making a scene, the manager couldn’t afford to drag his feet and had to come over quickly.
“I’m sorry, truly sorry.
We’re just overwhelmed with customers today.
Please understand.
I’ll refund your deposit immediately!”
The manager, a man in his forties with a parted hairstyle and small, shrewd eyes, had not a trace of sincerity in his apology.
He seemed intent on quickly getting rid of these people so as not to disrupt his business.
“Am I short of that 500 yuan deposit?
You’ve wasted my time.
How do you plan to compensate for that?”
Hua Yue Yu demanded.
“Heh, trying to extort money?”
The manager snorted coldly, seeing through her intent to seek compensation.
It wasn’t happening.
Hua Yue Yu was almost driven to fury upon hearing this, “Who is trying to extort you?”
“If you’re not extorting, then take the deposit and leave!”
The manager’s attitude was cold, “Show me the transfer record, I’ll refund your money.”
He thought the girl was quite pretty.
“Is this about the money?” ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Hua Yue Yu bit her Little Tiger Tooth.
“Yue Yu…”
Before Lin Baici could finish, Hua Yue Yu interrupted him.
“Little Bai, don’t get involved in this.
Let me handle it!”
If I couldn’t deal with the pollution of the rules in God’s Ruins, and I can’t even reclaim what I’ve lost in reality, then what right do I have to be friends with Little Bai?
“How do you intend to handle this?”
The manager crossed his arms, leisurely watching Hua Yue Yu, “I’m very busy, so please be quick!”
Hua Yue Yu checked her phone, “I reserved the room for six o’clock; it’s five minutes away.
At six, I’m going to sit in there and have my meal!”
“I’m sorry, but the air conditioning in Room 208 is broken; we can’t accommodate guests there.”
The manager unhesitatingly lied.
He had dealt with similar situations multiple times before.
The manager wouldn’t let the room remain empty; if the people who reserved it came, he’d just offer them an alternative.
It’s just that today, there were too many customers.
“Manager Fan!”
A young male waiter whispered a reminder, “I think she’s an UP host!”
Hua Yue Yu was carrying a Pikachu backpack, with a GOPRO sport camera clipped on the strap across her chest.
“There are tons of UP hosts out there!”
Manager Fan grimaced, having no affection for that profession.
Recently, checking out restaurants had become trendy in Haijing, with UP hosts dining and introducing delicacies.
Some of them would outright say they’re UP hosts who could promote the place, asking if their meal could be on the house.
It’s pretty much begging in style.
Manager Fan certainly didn’t agree, but lately, business at three competitors had spiked.
After inquiring around, he discovered they had hired several popular internet celebrities for promotion.
They spent a lot, with even the cheapest costing a hundred thousand.
Manager Fan didn’t want to waste the money, but stiff competition from his peers left him no choice.
He also had a Shark Station host review his restaurant under the guise of an eager guest.
Manager Fan was cunning in scheduling it during the enrollment period of Haijing Polytechnic; with more diners, the place appeared bustling and popular.
“I’m going up to check.
If it’s not broken, what will you do?”
Hua Yue Yu might have been small in stature, but she had plenty of presence.
“Do you think this is your home?”
The manager scoffed.
Hua Yue Yu didn’t respond and began walking upstairs.
“Stop her!”
Manager Fan commanded.
Two waiters immediately stepped in her way.
“Don’t use force!”
Lin Baici shouted, taking a stride to stand in front of Hua Yue Yu.
