Chapter 1188: Five Million Two Hundred Thousand
Gu Yangzhi laughed when he heard about Lafei. A bottle costs at most twenty thousand, which he can afford. He wonders if Bai Xiao is putting on airs, and whether he'll be able to settle the bill later.
"Doctor Bai, you really know how to order dishes."
Everyone accompanies with a smile, no one speaks.
This meal is eaten with fear and trepidation.
The important thing is not knowing what will happen later when settling the bill.
Who here doesn't know this meal is invaluable.
Qi Yuqing looks at Bai Xiao, anxious and flustered. She initially wanted Gu Yangzhi to lose face, but doesn't want Gu Yangzhi to trap Bai Xiao, which is why she said that. She even hoped that Gu Yangzhi would spend his own money, at least it wouldn't be so excessive.
Who knew Gu Yangzhi didn't hold back and caused a mess, and Bai Xiao retaliated by ordering so many unnecessary things.
Don't think she didn't see.
She's not blind, and her vision is very good. She saw clearly the prices on the order list.
Oh my god!
That is quite the exorbitant price.
Now really worried, Doctor Bai won't have been confused out of anger, right?
What to do!
Qi Yuqing rummaged through her bag, inside was a bank card, her savings over the years, about a hundred thousand.
This is her entire fortune.
It also includes some money sponsored by her parents.
Her parents prepared it for her to buy a house, but she hasn't bought one yet.
Now she can only save the day.
Can't let Bai Xiao make a fool of himself in front of so many people, there are thirty people here, at least they're elites from various major hospitals. In the future, frankly, they hold a large amount of resources.
If these people spread the word in the industry, that would mean total reputation ruin.
Doctor Bai from the Military District Hospital is different from them, simple environment, not aware of the sinister hearts, does not know how to make friends and pave the way. These people aren't friends, it's okay, but can't leave a reason for others to spread rumors everywhere.
Today this amount of money has to be paid whether they like it or not, truly trapped by Gu Yangzhi.
Quietly, she nudged Bai Xiao! Passing the bank card over.
Under the table, the two people's hands touched.
Bai Xiao looked down, a bank card?
Smiled slightly, Qi Yuqing this silly woman.
We aren't that close, yet you dare to give me your bank card, truly treating others wholeheartedly.
Could not help but feel moved.
Just purely because of admiration, able to trust him immensely, today's matter mostly was trouble brought by herself for Qi Yuqing.
This silly elder sister still wants to help her like this.
It's truly touching.
Smiling as she shook her head, calmly pushed the card back under the table.
Silently mouthed, no need!
Qi Yuqing felt anxious.
No need for what!
At this moment, still no need.
The waiter has already started serving the dishes.
The dishes are extremely varied.
Everyone ate with satisfaction, lobster, abalone, sea cucumber these things naturally need not be mentioned, especially the following dishes, though they appear to be just a small dish, or a plate not large in quantity, the taste is absolutely top-notch.
When the final mango and black watermelon were served, the meal finally concluded.
Gu Yangzhi looked at the embarrassingly small plate of caviar, not enough to fill the gap in his teeth, understanding clearly that Bai Xiao must have instructed the waiter, otherwise it couldn't be so little in quantity!
Such a shabby sight.
This caviar, isn't something he hasn't eaten abroad, not like he can't afford it.
His annual salary is indeed over a hundred thousand, if he couldn't afford these, that would be disgraceful.
But Bai Xiao, hmm, wants her to look good today.
He waved nonchalantly, "Waiter, check please!"
As soon as the waiter heard this, he immediately became energetic, "Sir, please hold on!"
Their duty manager personally came to settle the bill.
Those people ate a meal with an international level of sophistication, elevating the hotel to a new level of luxury.
Upper management couldn't ignore it.
The lobby manager handed the invoice to Gu Yangzhi with a calm expression, "Sir, your total expenses were 5.2 million, the fractional amount has been erased for you, and the service fee has also been waived, this is the discounted price at eighty percent off."
.........
A suffocatingly solemn atmosphere spread.
Everyone stopped talking.
Gu Yangzhi's face turned black, then white again.
5.2 million!
He vaguely calculated earlier, the dishes he ordered would cost at most hundreds of thousands, if two people shared! He would only pay about two or three hundred thousand, which he had planned to use as a trap for Bai Xiao.
What on earth does this mean now.
Qi Yuqing finally understood why Bai Xiao said no need.
Indeed!
5.2 million, Bai Xiao would have to at least produce 2.6 million, how could her hundred thousand possibly help.
It's not even enough to cover the rounding.
"Did you calculate it wrongly?"
Gu Yangzhi now suspects perhaps Bai Xiao bribed the waitstaff specifically to trap him.
He knows the dishes he ordered are the bulk, Bai Xiao's orders, besides the caviar, are just some cheap items, how could it be this expensive.
Therefore, he has reason to believe Bai Xiao tampered with it.
"Sir, here's the menu, you may take a closer look. The lobster costs 988 per pound, two lobsters are sixteen pounds, this is already…"
"These dishes need no mentioning, I just want to ask, how does this caviar cost eight thousand per dish? You think I don't know caviar? How is this possible? And look at this mango and black watermelon costing over ten thousand per portion, and this ham, a portion costing several thousand, your restaurant is a scam, plain and simple to rip people off."
"I want to accuse you of customer fraud, price gouging, this is a very serious issue."
Many people also nodded, a portion of caviar was ridiculously small, they barely had two bites and it was finished, many people were unsatisfied and wanted a second portion, which surprisingly cost nearly eight thousand, it's like eating gold.
The problem is, gold isn't even this expensive.
"Yes! Your place is a well-known hotel, with the standards of a five-star establishment, it's too much, spending over five million for a meal, who would believe it."
"Exactly, I want to report you."
"If you make the headlines, I believe closure isn't far off for you."
"This is blatant commercial fraud."
The manager smiled seriously and said, "Everyone, don't be anxious. I can very responsibly inform all of you there is not a single problem with these dishes, even if you bring in the pricing bureau we have solid grounds and lawful pricing, absolutely no price gouging behavior.
This portion of caviar, though only fifteen grams, is an extremely rare delicacy from yl, finding a shop selling it is like 'searching for a needle in a haystack' difficult. The only known shop selling Almas Caviar sells by kilogram, packaged with 24-carat gold cans, priced at twenty-five thousand, calculated in US dollars.
This caviar is white and comes from sturgeon fish over 100 years old. It may take up to 20 years to reach maturity. Hence, caviar of the same quality costs more than gold of the same quality.
This dish is fifteen grams, and it certainly costs eight thousand; this pricing is absolutely conscientious."
