"Alright then, just bring us all twenty signature dishes from the menu. We will enjoy it slowly!" |
The waitress was shocked and she dropped her ordering machine on the floor. |
The twenty dishes would probably cost more than fifteen thousand dollars! |
She had never served food like this before! |
"Damn it! Gerald, are you insane? The price of these twenty signature dishes and the package will amount to at least twenty thousand dollars!" |
Danny was shocked. |
Yuri also felt very nervous as he calculated the amount of money that he had on hand. Initially, he was just trying to play around with Gerald so that he could humiliate him. However, he did not expect this reaction from Gerald at all. |
Gerald could see the abnormal expression on Yuri's face and he realized that he had been silent all this while. Gerald smiled before he said, "Yuri, why don't we order some drinks? Why aren't you saying anything at all? ARe the dishes I've ordered too expensive for you?" |
"How could it possibly be too expensive for me? You can dream on! This is just a small sum of money to me. I'm just afraid that you wouldn't be able to pay for all the three tables downstairs with just thirty thousand dollars! I'm afraid that you'd embarrass all of us here today," Yuri retorted immediately. |
Was a pauper who everyone looked down on actually ridiculing him at this time? |
This was totally unacceptable! |
"Yeah, Gerald do you even know what you're doing now? Yuri might be splitting the bill with you for the luxurious private room but you have to remember that you still have to foot the bill for the three tables that you've booked downstairs too! Although they have not ordered any of the signature dishes, I'm sure they must have also ordered drinks for each table! That would definitely cost you a few thousand dollars already!" |
"Are you sure you'll be able to pay for the dinner tonight or are you just trying to save face when you order all those items? Remember that this is Homeland Kitchen on Mayberry Commercial Street!" |
The girls who were close to Xavia were already worried at this time. |
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Moreover, I have Yuri here with me. Since Yuri has said it's okay, we should order some drinks too!" |
Gerald turned around before he asked the waitress, "By the way, how old is the red wine that you serve here?" |
"We have quite an extensive collection of red wines. The oldest red wine is from 1995 and it's a bottle of luxury wine that costs one thousand and five hundred dollars." |
The waitress immediately recommended Gerald the most expensive wine in the restaurant when she saw that Gerald was so generous anyway. |
Gerald could just reject the offer. After all, the dishes were already so expensive. Secondly, if Gerald did not want to reject the offer, she would be able to earn more commission anyway. |
One thousand five hundred dollars for a bottle of red wine? |
When Danny and Yuri heard the price of the red wine, they broke out in cold sweat immediately. Even Cassandra and Xavia were taken aback at this time. |
"Gerald, I'm warning you that you'd better calculate and keep track of how much you can afford to pay for dinner tonight. Otherwise, you might end up not having enough money to pay for the dinner tonight!" |
Xavia was also feeling a little afraid because of the amount of money that they were spending tonight. She was really afraid that Gerald would order another two bottles of red wine on impulse. |
"Bring a box of that red wine here!" |
Unexpectedly, Gerald placed the order for the red wine without any hesitation at all. |
There were six bottles of red wine in a box. |
Wouldn't that amount to more than nine thousand dollars? |

"Gerald, are you serious? You want a box of the red wine?" |
This had seriously exceeded Yuri's expectations. However, it was too late for him to retreat now or Gerald would beat him just like that. |
"Of course I'm sure about my decision. However, if you find it too expensive, you can change the red wine for something cheaper, Yuri…" Gerald said once again. |
Gerald had already been despised and bullied by these boys for the past three years. This was nothing to him today. He wanted to seek justice for all that he had suffered in the past. |
After listening to Gerald's ridicule, Yuri simply gritted his teeth and said, "I don't think it's expensive at all! You can just order whatever you want! I will just split the bill with you at the end of the day." |
"Okay. Okay then. I can rest assured now. By the way, waitress, I hope you remember that this young man and I will be splitting the bill for this luxurious private room!" |
Gerald was afraid that Yuri would not admit it in the end. Therefore, he decided to remind the waitress of this fact in front of everyone. |
The waitress nodded before she said, "Yes, sir! I know. If that's the case, I'll serve the food right away!" |
The rest of them did not care at all. No matter what it was, it seemed as though Gerald and Yuri would not admit defeat anyway. This would be the most record-breaking meal that they ever had in their life. |
Everyone started drinking the high-end red wine at this time. As they were eating and drinking, Gerald opened a special system website on his cell phone. This was a website used to manage all of the shops and businesses on Mayberry Commercial Street, with detailed information on each and every one of these shops here. |
In fact, Zack had handed this website over to Gerald when he signed the renewal contract the last time. Therefore, Gerald decided to log in to take a look at this time as he wanted to check out the prices of the dishes and wine that he had ordered. |
The import prices for the six bottles of red wine was a little more than six thousand dollars. Furthermore, the cost for the ordinary dishes for the three tables in the private room downstairs and the signature dishes that they enjoyed in the luxurious private room cost about three thousand dollars. Therefore, Gerald would lose about nine thousand dollars for this meal tonight. |
However, Yuri and the others would have to spend at least ten to eleven thousand dollars tonight! Otherwise, Gerald would not have continued fighting against Yuri in this manner. |
The classmates continued enjoying their food and drinks for more than two hours. |
Yuri and Danny were not very happy as they ate their dinner. They kept holding their cell phones in their hands and everyone else did not know what they were doing… |
After they were finally done eating and drinking, Gerald looked at Yuri and Danny, who had anxious looks on their faces. |
"What now, Yuri? If we're done with dinner, should we checkout and pay for the meal now? By the way, Yuri, the waitress already knows that we are splitting the bill for this luxurious private room. So, don't tell me you have no money to pay for the meal later! Otherwise, you'd really be in a lot of trouble tonight!" |
"What? Why would I be afraid of you?" Yuri said in a bitter manner. |
To be honest, he did not have enough money at the moment. In fact, he had already spent the whole night trying to raise more money with Danny. As Gerald had already specifically mentioned the fact that he would be splitting the bill with Yuri to the waitress, there was no way for Yuri to get out of this at all! |
Moreover, all of the friends that he had texted did not bother answering their phones or replying to his messages as soon as they saw that he wanted to borrow some money from them! |
"Gerald, what are you implying? After paying for this meal tonight, you'll be nothing more than a pauper once again! So, why don't you worry about yourself instead?" Xavia said as she glared angrily at Gerald. |
After that, she looked at Yuri before she said, "Brother Yuri, why don't we go to the counter to pay for the food now? Let's see who shall be the one crying later!" |
Even though Xavia also felt distressed because Yuri had to spend so much money on this dinner, she thought that it was totally worth it since Gerald would become a pauper again after tonight! |
As they were talking, the group of people, including all their classmates who enjoyed dinner at the other three tables, also headed downstairs. |
Everyone was gathered in the lobby at this time. |
Gerald's classmates were undoubtedly very happy with the meal that they had enjoyed tonight. |
Even though most of them did not get to enjoy their dinner in the luxurious private room, they still felt very grateful towards Gerald. |
"Hello, sir. In addition to the three tables in the private room downstairs, Mr. Crawford and Mr. Lowell will be splitting the bill for the luxurious private room upstairs. Each of you will need to pay eleven thousand dollars after splitting the bill." |
"That meal cost twenty two thousand dollars? Oh my god!" |
Everyone was shocked at this time. |
Gerald was indifferent as he took out the money from his backpack before he immediately settled the bill for the eleven thousand dollars and the three tables for his classmates downstairs. |
At this time, it seemed as though Gerald only had six to seven thousand dollars left. |
However, this meal had actually cost him only about seven to eight thousand dollars. |
After paying the bill, Gerald looked at Yuri before he said, "Yuri, aren't you going to settle the bill now? Everyone's waiting to go home!" |
Yuri looked a little embarrassed at this time. |
He regretted his actions now. He had only decided to continue fighting heads on with Gerald because he was angry earlier. Moreover, he thought that he would be able to borrow some money from his friends before settling the bill. Unfortunately, he did not manage to do so. |
Everyone was staring at Yuri at this time and this made him feel very stressed and embarrassed. |
"Well, miss, could you please put this bill under my name and I'll settle the payment tomorrow instead?" Yuri asked with a softer tone at this time. |
He did not know what else to do. |
"Sir, please don't joke around with us. We do not accept credit payment here!" |
When the manager saw the awkward expression on Yuri's face, she started being very rude and impolite to him. |
"If you really don't have enough to pay off this bill, why don't you call your parents or borrow some money from your friends?" |
At this time, Yuri looked at Xavia and all of her classmates. |
All of Xavia's classmates looked out of the restaurant at this time, as though they had already made an agreement to do so. |
Yuri was very annoyed at this time. He did not dare to call his father as if his father found out that he had spent eleven thousand dollars on a meal just to prove he was richer than his friend, his father would definitely kill him! |
His family only owned a factory! |
"I can offer you another way out. You could leave one of your classmates here to wait for you and leave the restaurant to find a way to raise the money. Moreover, I see that you have a car parked outside. You could leave the car behind as collateral." |
"No! How could I possibly leave this car here tonight? This is my father's car! I have to drive it home tonight!" Yuri said anxiously. |
Homeland Kitchen was located on Mayberry Commercial Street and Yuri cannot afford to offend anyone here. |
He was already at a dead end. |
Gerald's classmates began whispering among themselves at this time. It turned out that the car actually belonged to Yuri's father. |
Xavia also felt very embarrassed. |
The manager spoke up and said, "Well, it looks like you can only leave someone here to wait for you while you raise the money then." |
"Hello? Hello? Okay, Dad I am going home now. Wait for me!" As soon as he finished this sentence, Danny rushed out of the restaurant to answer a phone call. |
These were not his classmates. |
Therefore, in the end, Yuri could only look at Xavia as he said, "Manager, may I leave my girlfriend here to wait for me?"<eot>This is by far the best roofing Company in Champaign County.They are efficient, dependable,they keep everything clean, no plants are destroyed or damaged…Leslie Ryan |
