Chapter 5: I'll treat you, you pay, and we'll all have a bright future.
Lin Yaozu shouted loudly.
"Waiter, the bill, please!"
The cashier was frantically typing on her calculator, replying in a sweet voice.
"Sir, the total is 1,708. Let me round it down to 1,700. We welcome you to come back next time."
Lin Yaozu arrogantly shoved the middle-aged man aside and opened his wallet.
The next moment, he stood there awkwardly, then his voice was filled with surprise.
"Holy crap! A grown man like him only has a little over three hundred yuan in his wallet when he goes out! And he's going to treat us? He can't even afford to treat a damn thing!"
No wonder they agreed so shamelessly after just a few polite words.
So that's the reason.
I'm broke!
Pooh!
Poor bastard!
Why pretend to be rich when you have no money?
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's face turned red, and he was so angry that he was practically fuming.
You still know this is my wallet?!
Besides!
Didn't we agree that you would treat us this time?
Meanwhile, Lin Yaozu calmly took out another wallet.
Open!
Two hundred and fifty-three!
He then took out another wallet.
Keep opening!
One hundred and sixty-four!
Continue... continue... and continue...
One by one, familiar wallets were pulled out, each one with less money than the last.
The cashier was dumbfounded.
What the hell does this mean?
I took out eight wallets to pay, and the total amount was only a little over a thousand yuan.
Are you kidding me?
At this moment, she had already decided on the volume of her voice to shout that someone was dining and dashing.
On the other side, the underlings who had been watching the show were also completely dumbfounded.
"Damn it! This bastard stole my wallet again?"
"It's gone! It's really gone!"
"Holy crap! He's shameless! He's using our money to pay the bill!"
"..."
When the knife cuts yourself, you feel the pain!
These underlings were initially enjoying watching the show!
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, I found myself on the stage.
At the same moment, Lin Yaozu pulled out the last wallet, opened it, and poured it out.
Suddenly, the lone five-cent coin fell onto the bar counter.
In an instant, the scene fell into dead silence.
Silence speaks louder than words!
Upon seeing this, Lin Yaozu was also dumbfounded.
The leader only had a little over three hundred, while the others only had one or two hundred, which is understandable.
Surprisingly, there's a hidden dragon and a phoenix chick among them.
50 cents?
Even at his poorest, he possessed fifty times that amount, totaling a staggering twenty-five pieces.
After all that, it turns out that Lin Yaozu, who had just sent his accomplices in and received a 500 yuan reward, was actually the richest man in the group.
Absolutely!
What an exceptional talent!
The next moment, before anyone could speak, Lin Yaozu pointed at them and berated them with exasperation.
"Damn it, you have the nerve to show your faces in public with just these two bastards? A bunch of poor idiots!"
Then, pointing at his middle-aged nephew who had spoken the most throughout, he launched into a vicious attack.
"And you, you only have five cents in your pocket! You still have the nerve to carry a wallet? Have you no shame?!"
The cashier was stunned!
What's going on?
Infighting?
Is a fight about to break out?
It's not that serious to dine and dash!
With a single, forceful rebuke, the crowd was so overwhelmed by the barrage of insults that they could not lift their heads in shame, their toes furiously clenching.
I wish I could carve out a three-bedroom apartment and stay inside forever.
Meanwhile, the cashier took the opportunity to collect the odds and ends.
Anyway, in her opinion, this group of people was probably going to dine and dash, so she decided to worry about everything else and try to recover as much of her losses as possible!
"Sir, there are 1,225 here, and we are short 475."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yaozu subconsciously touched the five hundred yuan bonus in his pocket.
If we take it out, not only will it be enough, but we'll also have twenty-five left.
But he immediately rejected the idea as soon as it crossed his mind.
Pay up?
joke!
Even if it's money obtained through their accomplices, it's still not acceptable.
At this moment, the middle-aged man in the lead awkwardly shrugged.
Clearly, he was truly broke.
For him, although he lost more than 300, he could accept 475 if Lin Yaozu paid him.
After all, even if it's split equally (going Dutch), the other person still pays the most.
In all calculations, they didn't lose out.
However, in the next instant, Lin Yaozu pulled out more than a dozen phones and piled them all on the bar counter.
"How about this? I'll use these phones to offset the remaining four hundred and seventy-five!"
The middle-aged man in the lead: "?"
The henchmen: "??"
Cashier: "???"
"Holy crap! My phone? My phone was taken along with it!"
"That bastard is truly inhuman!"
"Damn it, I have to beat him up! I'm so angry!"
"So what if you're technically skilled? Does that mean you can do whatever you want?"
"..."
The henchmen, feeling their empty pockets, were all dumbfounded with anger.
the second time!
This is the second time!
Last time it was to teach them a lesson, what does this mean this time?
On-site disposal of stolen goods?
Not far away, the middle-aged man in the lead was also dumbfounded.
No!
Use our phones to pay the debt?
Why don't you pay for your own share?
You're not just shameless, you're a real dog!
At this moment, the cashier looked at Lin Yaozu, and then at everyone else.
After looking them over several times, he swiftly collected more than ten cell phones and stuffed them under the stage.
At the same time, she replied decisively.
"make a deal!"
Lin Yaozu was amused by this action, patted the table, and gave a thumbs up.
"Great! You're so straightforward, sis! You're definitely a true江湖 (jianghu) person! We don't want these phones!"
The middle-aged man and his henchmen all turned green.
What? You don't want it anymore?
Is that your phone?
You don't want it? We do!
However, before they could speak, Lin Yaozu took the initiative to put his arm around the middle-aged man and forcefully led him outside.
"Come on, bro, I've already paid the bill! Let's move on to another place and keep the party going!"
"No... cell phone..."
"What phone? We don't need the phone anymore!"
"I...that's ours..."
"Brother, why are you still distinguishing between us? It's like we're estranged."
"Holy crap...you f***ing..."
"I know you're grateful. This meal is on me, but next time you can come over. When and where shall we go for a meal?"
"You...you...you...you're so shameless..."
"Today, I'll teach you another lesson. In our line of work, you can't be shameless... If you're going to be shameless, go do something legitimate..."
As he spoke, Lin Yaozu turned back and shouted to his underlings.
"Hey...you bunch of brats...what are you standing there for...why aren't you coming with us?"
A moment later, Lin Yaozu, the middle-aged man, and his henchmen stood in front of a Wuling Sunshine van.
"Damn! You're doing this badly? This is your car? Dude, pay attention! With this kind of lifestyle, how do you expect to grow your business?"
The middle-aged man, holding his phone, replied with a look of resentment.
"That's still better than treating someone to a meal and then forcing them to pay!"
Lin Yaozu lit a cigarette and sighed as he exhaled smoke.
"Hey! Why did you return that pack of Zhonghua cigarettes?! I've been smoking Liqun cigarettes lately and it's making my throat hurt! I was just thinking of trying something different."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces twitched.
Why did you return it? Don't you know?
Damn it.
Have you no shame at all?!
