Chapter 33: The Highest Realm of Showing Off

Kang Min’er’s face darkened: "What did you say? Say it again, I dare you."

She was furious. Lin Fan actually talked back to her, calling her a sycophant so directly.

Qian Feng was really annoyed by Lin Fan’s attitude; if you’re poor, you should stay silent and obediently accept being trampled upon.

Qian Feng laughed: "Lin Fan, I’m friends with the general manager of Jindu Grand Hotel, and you? Do you know him? Aren’t you bragging about driving a sports car worth 70 million? Can you get us the best food here for half price?"

Lin Fan smiled: "Are you talking about Li He? Yes, I know him. He’s my assistant."

Today, Li He personally delivered stock shares to Lin Fan, as Tang Jinhong, the owner of Jindu, had appointed Li He as Lin Fan’s assistant.

Li He is Lin Fan’s assistant!

Everyone paused, then burst into laughter.

Qian Feng laughed until his stomach hurt: "Lin Fan, there should be a limit to joking around. Are you trying to make me laugh to death?"

While the classmates were mocking Lin Fan.

Two impeccably dressed waiters came over, pushing a cart adorned with flowers.

Unexpectedly, they stopped at their table.

"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, British Kobe Beef Pie, Iced Sugar Blood Bird’s Nest."

The waiter announced the dishes, placing the three dishes from the cart onto the table.

These three dishes were precisely the signature dishes of Jindu Grand Hotel!

Everyone was stunned; they hadn’t ordered any dishes, yet here they were being served?

Qian Feng asked: "What’s going on here?"

The waiter, with a very respectful attitude, said: "This is arranged by our general manager, President Li. These three signature dishes are sent for everyone to taste, and there’s also a bottle of ’82 Lafite, sent to everyone. If you find it not enough, feel free to order more. In short, whatever you eat or drink tonight, it’s all on President Li."

As the waiter spoke, he indeed took a bottle of Lafite from the cart!

Everyone was amazed. President Li is treating!

This meal is overly luxurious!

Three signature dishes free to eat!

’82 Lafite free to drink!

And you can order additional food and drinks at will!

Compared to this, half-priced signature dishes are nothing!

Lin Fan smiled slightly, feeling that Li He was being quite considerate this time; this meal is not cheap.

"No need to ask, it’s surely for Brother Feng’s sake that President Li is treating us to this meal!"

"That’s right, Brother Feng, you truly have influence!"

"Brother Feng, I admire you so much, you are my idol!"

Everyone started flattering him, besides Qian Feng, they couldn’t think of anyone else who could make President Li spend so lavishly.

Kang Min’er giggled: "Brother Feng, President Li indeed treats you as a friend, it’s so considerate, I always knew Brother Feng had charisma!"

Luo Tianming’s face turned pale. He had to admit, trying to show off tonight, he lost to Qian Feng, lost too miserably.

Qian Feng felt delighted, yet was slightly incredulous; did President Li learn about his class reunion and specifically treat them to dinner like this?

This kind of recognition is just too rewarding.

When did he become so important in President Li’s mind!

Could it be that President Li had an eye on him and wanted to poach him from Jingdong to Jindu?

Thinking this, Qian Feng felt immensely proud; he couldn’t help it, he was simply talented, hence appreciated, hence sought after.

Just then, a suit-clad Li He, with a beaming smile, approached.

All his classmates immediately noticed Li He had arrived.

Qian Feng smiled like a sycophant and said: "President Li, we’re old friends, how could I let you splurge like this?"

However, Li He seemed oblivious to Qian Feng’s presence, heading straight to Lin Fan.

He bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Lin, how does this arrangement suit you?"

Li He asked respectfully.

Lin Fan nodded: "Hmm, not bad. The most important thing is that everyone enjoys their meal."

Li He responded: "Of course, besides these signature dishes, there’s another dish our hotel is about to launch as the main dish, yet to appear on the market. I’ve already instructed the chef to prepare it, so that you and your friends can be the first to taste it."

Lin Fan smiled: "Alright, thank you for that."

Witnessing this, everyone was stunned.

Qian Feng’s smile became painfully stiff.

What?

Is this some sort of illusion?

Li He, the general manager of Jindu Grand Hotel, actually bowing and being respectful to Lin Fan!

Even inviting Lin Fan to taste the main dish not officially launched by the hotel!

What’s the deal?

Why Lin Fan?

Kang Min’er’s face changed as she was sharp enough to realize something, shaking uncontrollably.

After his shock, Luo Tianming found it amusing; tonight, in trying to show off, he was continuously overshadowed by Qian Feng, which had displeased him.

Luo Tianming feigned surprise and said: "Oh wow, so it’s not because of Qian Feng that President Li is treating us?"

Qian Feng blushed furiously, knowing Luo Tianming was being deliberate; how embarrassing!

Only now did Li He notice Qian Feng’s presence, slightly surprised: "Oh, Qian Feng is here too, turns out you’re Mr. Lin’s classmate; to be Mr. Lin’s classmate, you must be really envied."

Qian Feng couldn’t help but ask: "President Li, what’s all this about, why are you so respectful to Lin Fan?"

Li He smiled: "If you were the second largest shareholder of Golden Capital Group, I’d be just as respectful to you."

What?

Everyone was dumbfounded again.

Lin Fan turns out to be the second largest shareholder of Golden Capital Group?

This is too shocking!

Qian Feng asked shakily: "About Lin Fan saying you’re his assistant, can this be true?"

Li He replied: "It’s true; it was arranged by President Tang for me to be Mr. Lin’s assistant."

Qian Feng fell silent.

Holy...!

It’s actually true!

Everything about Lin Fan must be true!

He’s the second largest shareholder of Golden Capital Group!

He’s a super-rich second generation!

He bought a street of luxury goods!

He drives a 70-million sports car!

If previous claims were doubted, now Li He’s personal confirmation leaves nothing uncertain.

Qian Feng’s face turned ashen, slumping into the chair.

He had bragged the whole night, only to find out in the end he was a big fool.

Compared to Lin Fan, everything about him seemed trivial and insignificant.

Lin Fan, a super-rich second generation posing as a delivery guy, this is truly the pinnacle of showing off!

After discovering Lin Fan was a super-rich guy, all classmates went mad, regretting their previous disdain and mockery towards Lin Fan, wishing they could die from embarrassment.

They desperately wanted to salvage the situation, figuring out ways to ingratiate themselves with Lin Fan.

What a joke, if not to curry favor with a super-rich guy, who else? Plus, being classmates with Lin Fan, they had ready advantage!

Luo Tianming was first to change tack, laughing heartily: "Brother Fan, you kept us in the dark, dressing up as a delivery guy, I admit you fooled me."

Luo Tianming’s words offered the others a direction.

They all chimed in: "Yeah, Brother Fan’s really playful."

"You tricked us miserably, Brother Fan."

"What’s this, Brother Fan was just joking with us, haha, really amusing."

Lin Fan calmly replied: "I really am a delivery guy, it’s not pretend; who says rich people can’t be delivery guys?"

Everyone paused, what, really a delivery guy?

This made things awkward.
