Chapter 331 - Even a Donkey in the Production Team Could Not be Bullied like This

“Please hold on, I'll get your bill right away!”

Lee Dahai stood nearby with a smile.

“After finishing your meal, it's not ideal to just stand around waiting. Our restaurant offers special post-dinner treats. Would you like to try some?” Lee Dahai offered.

Faang Ying was about to decline when Xiao Chen quickly interjected.

“Manager Lee, there's no need to ask. Young Master Faang is of high status and quite wealthy,” Xiao Chen said.

“Bring us six servings of dessert. One for my sister, two for my brother-in-law, and three for me!”

“Young Master Faang, you've already had plenty. You don't really need this,” Xiao Chen teased.

“He surely won't want to hang around us after this,” Xiao Chen mused to himself.

Faang Ying felt like crying.

“How can they treat me this way?” he wondered silently.

“They're picking on me!”

Yet Xiao Chen's comment had, at least outwardly, maintained Faang Ying's facade of grandeur.

“Go ahead and order,” Faang Ying finally conceded with a nod.

He was determined to keep up the act, even if it meant grinding his teeth to dust. He hadn't ordered for himself, which was a small financial relief.

Lee Dahai promptly went to place the order.

Soon, he returned with the desserts and an exceptionally long bill in hand.

Faang Ying's eyes widened at the sight of the bill.

“They've really set me up,” he thought to himself.

“Surely, not even the village donkey has been duped like this?”

Faang Ying took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, striving to appear unfazed.

Sweat beaded on Faang Ying's forehead as panic set in.

“Young Master Faang, you're not pulling my leg, are you?”

Lee Dahai kept up his cheerful demeanor.

His words, however, were laced with mockery.

“We run a modest operation here. I simply can't write off more than two million.”

“If you're unable to pay now, that's alright; you can settle up later. But you'll be added to our restaurant's blacklist.”

“We'll post your photo at the entrance.” Lee Dahai's tone suggested a friendly warning, but his true intent was to shame him.

In the capital, Faang Ying was a person of stature.

Being blacklisted by this establishment, with his photo displayed and labeled “insufficient funds,” would be a major blow to his reputation.

“I have money! I have plenty,” Faang Ying protested, nearly leaping to his feet.

Shaking, he pulled out his phone and dialed his father.

Eventually, Faang Ying held the phone a good distance from his ear.

The booming voice on the other end was audible to all.

The conversation was clearly not a pleasant one.

In the end, Faang Ying's father relented and wired three million.

Only after the payment was made did Faang Ying breathe a sigh of relief.

He was inwardly tormented.

He felt like he could die from the humiliation!

He was bound to face a barrage of criticism at home.

Still, he had to maintain the facade of affluence.

“Haha, I was a little short this time. Next time I treat you all, I'll make sure to bring enough,” Faang Ying said as he rose, forcing a casual laugh.

?He thought to himself, “I can easily drop 15 million on a meal. That farmer could never afford to spend so much.”
