Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 451 423 Nobles and Country Bumpkins

Lin Tian and Bu Mengting were waiting for Qin Hao, but instead of Qin Hao arriving, a group of young people turned up dressed in flashy, multicolored clothes, their chests exposed and with variously dyed hair.

Lin Tian noticed that these young people's eyes seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally targeting him, and as if they had colluded, they all sat down right next to Lin Tian's table en masse.

Lin Tian learned from the memories provided by the Taotie System that no matter how expensive casual clothes are, they should not be worn to a high-end Western restaurant. It is common sense for Westerners that appropriate attire is necessary: men should wear neat clothes and women should wear evening dresses or suits, along with a pair of heeled shoes.

Women should wear heavier makeup because the lighting in restaurants is dim, but the makeup must be proper, and men must wear a tie.

These are the authentic rules of etiquette, but Chinese who open Western restaurants do not pay much attention to this since they are ultimately in it to make money; they can't just kick out customers for not dressing up, right?

Honestly, Lin Tian's attire was not up to the mark either, but at least it was modest and not off-putting. The group of men and women that just entered, on the other hand, looked like they had come straight out of a bar, far too presumptuous.

It was no surprise that as soon as they came in, some of the diners showed extreme disgust, and one wealthy businessman even left after tossing aside his fine red wine.

Having money means doing whatever you want!

Bu Mengting also sensed something was off and quietly asked Lin Tian, "What's going on here?"

Lin Tian shook his head, thinking to himself, they must have something to do with that guy Qin Hao.

After a while, Qin Hao confidently strutted out in a suit and tie and shiny leather shoes. He really was willing to spend money to show off, wearing a Youngor suit and Fendi shoes, this outfit costing at least six hundred thousand.

And he even sported a parted hairstyle, which to Lin Tian looked utterly ridiculous. Other people might go for a parting ratio of 4:6 or 3:7, but Qin Hao, this guy had a ridiculous 2:8 part, his hair nearly flung behind his ear.

Lin Tian stealthily shared his views on Qin Hao with Bu Mengting, saying, "Idiot, dork, upstart, show-off, no competition at all for me, not even worthy to carry your shoes."

Bu Mengting also felt that Qin Hao was a bit over the top and nodded in agreement.

As Qin Hao approached, the group of youngsters who had just arrived suddenly displayed expressions of "amazement" and shouted loudly.

"Qin Hao, so cool!"

"Qin Hao, so handsome, we love you!"

"Wow, Qin Hao, you are the man of my dreams!"

"Man of dreams!"

... ...

Ah, jeez, Lin Tian suddenly felt like his worldview was collapsing. If that was considered handsome, then he must be so handsome that he'd never have friends in this lifetime.

He immediately understood that these people must have been hired by Qin Hao to make a scene and show off in front of Bu Mengting.

This was also a tactic to woo girls, just a bit too extravagant and better suited for those who are vain and gold digging. Bu Mengting was nothing like that at all.

When courting a girl, it's crucial to understand her likes and dislikes before making a move. Qin Hao was clearly doing the opposite. If he keeps this up, he's bound for a lonely old age!

These people's exaggerated acting skills must have been rented from Hengdian Studio for forty bucks a day. They were earning their keep while eating, making a profit from this charade.

Amidst the cheers from the crowd, Qin Hao made his showy entrance, feeling grand about himself, but in Bu Mengting's eyes, he was no better than trash.

When Qin Hao came up to Bu Mengting, he asked with feigned innocence, "I presume this gentleman must be Mr. Lin!"

"Yes, it's me, your love rival," Lin Tian replied directly, not mincing words.

Qin Hao had already planned his move. He accused, "Mr. Lin, from your tone and attire, it's quite evident that you don't respect me. Don't you realize this is a high-end Western restaurant where you should be dressed more formally?"

Lin Tian had guessed right; Qin Hao was indeed trying to make things difficult for him in this area, though the tactic seemed quite childish. On first assessment, Qin Hao's IQ didn't surpass that of a twelve-year-old.

Even more absurd was that the people around them started to scorn Lin Tian unanimously, speaking righteously, without realizing that their own attire was even worse than Lin Tian's.

Lin Tian smiled and regarded Qin Hao with a look reserved for fools, "Mr. Qin, I'm not dressed properly, and neither is Mengting. You can't blame me for that. We're just students and have never been to such a fancy Western restaurant. You invited us here; didn't you consider that? Should we really have to buy new clothes just to have a meal? We're ordinary students, without money!"

"Exactly, exactly," Bu Mengting echoed with disdain from the side.

Qin Hao picked up an important piece of information from Lin Tian's words: he is a poor student without money.

Mysteriously, Qin Hao began to feel proud of himself and managed to utter a "consideration oversight," then shamelessly sat down next to Bu Mengting.

Round one, Lin Tian won.

Qin Hao's expression turned sour, but no matter, he still had a second move.

Qin Hao said to Bu Mengting, "The chef of this restaurant is French, so this restaurant also follows French etiquette, which is globally recognized as the most artistic. Let me show you."

After speaking, Qin Hao leaned towards Bu Mengting with bad intentions, took a smug look at Lin Tian, and felt very pleased with himself.

Bare-faced showing off!

Taking the opportunity to take advantage of Bu Mengting!

And putting down Lin Tianyi in passing!

Killing three birds with one stone!

Too bad, Lin Tian is no fool!

He had already learned about the dining etiquette of all countries through the "Taotie System" bug.

Lin Tian grabbed Mengting's hand first and said, "Come on, let me teach you."

"You're a student who has never been to a Western restaurant, do you know the etiquette?" Qin Hao said with contempt.

Lin Tian quickly arranged the utensils, and glanced at Qin Hao's setting, then spoke, "I haven't been to such a high-end Western restaurant, that's true, but that doesn't mean I don't know the etiquette. Excuse me for being blunt, but the ignorant one here is you."

"Me? Are you joking? I was born in Europe, and just so you know, this restaurant is owned by my dad. I've eaten more Western food than you've eaten rice. How would I not understand Western dining etiquette?" Qin Hao scoffed.

So that's how it was, Lin Tian gleaned an important piece of information – this restaurant was owned by his family.

Lin Tian retorted, "The French are, reputedly, the most gentlemanly in the world, yet I see no elegance in you, only the vulgarities of a nouveau riche."

"French etiquette dictates that one must sit up straight at the table, much like how Huaxia says to sit like a bell, stand like a pine, walk like the breeze. Your posture, however, is slack and weak, all form and no substance, a mere show to appease the rituals without a trace of cultivation. That's rudeness, and disrespectful toward others."

"You!"

Just as Qin Hao wanted to argue, he found no flaws in Lin Tian's demeanor and couldn't retort.

Lin Tian continued, "Of course, I wouldn't completely blame you. From a medical perspective, this is due to your excessive indulgence, which has led to kidney deficiency, making you lack energy and strength in your back. Buddy, you need to exercise restraint!"

"You... you're talking nonsense." Qin Hao's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly as a cold sweat broke out. Looking at Lin Tian, he thought, damn, how does he know I'm weak? "

The young people Qin Hao had brought over saw his abnormal complexion, let out a collective gasp of disbelief, and looked at him with contempt.

Qin Hao felt like crawling into a hole, ashamed to the core at this scandal about his potency.

"According to French etiquette, one must be humble and speak softly during a meal, yet you just spoke loudly, which is incorrect."

Qin Hao's face darkened instantly. He gritted his teeth and didn't dare speak a word, fearing Lin Tian would point out more faults.

Lin Tian continued to pick at him, "Your cutlery is also placed incorrectly. You can't even grasp the most basic things; it's quite sad. Knives and forks should be taken from the outside toward the inside, and the knife's blade should never be pointing at the plate. This is a basic rule of etiquette, how do you not know that? Don't go around saying your family owns a Western restaurant, it's embarrassing."

Qin Hao felt faint. His confidence had split wide open. He had wanted to use his proficiency in restaurant etiquette to humiliate Lin Tian, but now he realized they weren't even on the same level. Before he knew it, Lin Tian had pointed out so many faults.

He was puzzled. His good intelligence had indicated that Lin Tian had never been to a high-end Western restaurant. So how did he know all this etiquette?

It seemed the information was wrong!

Grinding his teeth, he put down his utensils and took a sip of red wine, thinking, I'll drink to my heart's content; let's see what you can critique this time.

But Lin Tian did not pick at anything this time and followed Qin Hao's lead, holding the base of the wine glass, gently swirling it, placing his lips at the rim of the glass, sniffing the direction of the wine first before taking a delicate sip, then downing it…!

His movements were fluid, every gesture appropriate, as if he were of French royal descent. The attention to detail was impeccable, immersing onlookers in what seemed like a dream. From Lin Tian, they sensed an unparalleled nobility as he displayed the art and grace of drinking red wine vividly with his mannerisms.

Mengting was stunned, her eyes filled with admiration; she didn't even know Lin Tian could be so handsome.

"So handsome!"

One of the girls among the group couldn't help but exclaim, completely captivated by Lin Tian's charm, her heartbeat quickening, her eyes dreamy.

"Handsome guy, do you have a girlfriend? If not, I'll be yours. If yes, how about considering one more?"

A more outgoing girl couldn't control herself and made a bold proposition.

Even Lin Tian didn't expect to have such charm to have someone openly declare their love for him.

He looked at the girl; she was not bad, but she was far from matching his girls.

Before Lin Tian could decline, Bu Mengting stepped forward, puffed out her chest, and trembled as she said, "He has a girlfriend, and it's me."

After speaking, she willingly kissed Lin Tian, staking her claim.

In this moment, Qin Hao felt like crying. He felt like a country bumpkin compared to Lin Tian. What he couldn't stand most was that the people he had paid to boost his ego were now rallying behind Lin Tian, leaving him unable to bear it any longer—he was infuriated!
