Chapter 307 Could this be... something Bai Cang was planning to give you?
Chapter 307 Could this be... something Bai Cang was planning to give you?
"Oh...that Tokyo Tech..."
Zhou Heng remembered; there really was such a school.
When Tong Yining looked at him, she lowered her head awkwardly, her hand gripping the fork tightening slightly...
Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran felt a pang of regret. Back in high school, Tong Yining's grades were quite good, ranking among the top.
In the following exams, my scores kept declining, and I never expected that I would only get into a second-tier university.
Normally, her grades should have guaranteed her admission to a top-tier university.
Zhou Hongyu was still a little puzzled when Tong Yining glared at him and slowly spoke:
"They're from Dongda University... Dongju University."
"Huh?! Holy crap! That University of Tokyo? It's that good?"
Zhou Hongyu opened his mouth in surprise and looked at Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran with his eyes wide open.
Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran didn't respond, but awkwardly scratched their heads.
They seem to associate with all sorts of impressive people, forgetting that they themselves are actually quite capable as well...
Getting into Dongzhu University is already a remarkable achievement.
The two of them stopped talking to Tong Yining and the others, focusing on eating their food.
Tong Yining was already feeling awkward, so it was better for her to stay silent, finish her meal quickly, and leave.
Zhou Hongyu, on the other hand, kept talking to Zhou Heng and the others...
"How long are you going to talk...?"
"How's Dongzhu University? It's pretty good, isn't it?"
"Are you all off today? Why did you come all this way? Will you be able to get back tonight?"
Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran took turns answering his questions. Although they were getting a little impatient, he didn't seem to have any ill intentions, so they answered them both.
"Stop asking, just be quiet..."
Tong Yining tugged at his arm, signaling him to stop asking questions. The relationship between the three of them was already a bit awkward.
He kept chatting with people, which made them uncomfortable, and he himself was also uncomfortable.
"Aren't you all classmates? Why are you being so formal?"
Zhou Hongyu said something to Tong Yining instead, because he didn't quite understand why high school classmates would have such a deep bond.
You meet but don't even chat for a bit? Just a simple greeting and that's it?
At this moment, in the monitoring room, a middle-aged man in a suit stood watching the monitors, answering a phone call...
"Manager Liu, it's me."
"Hey, Mr. Bai, I'm listening. What's up?"
The man addressed as Manager Liu immediately responded to the voice on the other end of the phone, appearing quite obsequious...
On the other end of the phone was Bai Cang's voice.
"Manager Liu, did a customer surnamed Zhou visit you today?"
Manager Liu stared at the surveillance cameras, looking at each one repeatedly. There were so many people in each camera's view that he couldn't keep up...
"Surname Zhou... uh, Young Master Bai, there are so many guests with the surname Zhou, I don't know which one you're referring to..."
"I can't reveal his name, it's confidential, but his features are quite distinctive. He's about my age, with his girlfriend, and she's very beautiful..."
"Okay, that makes it much easier to find. What are your instructions?"
"They should be eating at this time, right? If they are eating at a restaurant, arrange something nice for them, and upgrade their room to the top-of-the-line one. Basically, treat them like the highest-level VIPs, understand?"
"Ah...okay...okay, I understand! I'll make sure everything is arranged properly!"
Manager Liu nodded quickly and then hung up the phone.
He stared at the restaurant's security camera, his eyes narrowing, as if he already had a target in mind...
About ten minutes later,
Manager Liu strode towards the restaurant, followed by two waiters carrying a large tray!
The plate was piled high like a small mountain, covered with everything imaginable—seafood sashimi, and more… beautifully decorated, and even steaming with dry ice.
The entire dish is worth at least two thousand yuan; the plate alone is worth around one thousand yuan...
Passing customers stared in shock, wondering who this was for? It was so extravagant.
Manager Liu walked into the restaurant, and soon his eyes locked onto a certain direction...
He slowly walked over and looked in that direction.
Yin Mengran and Tong Yining were both facing the manager. Both were very beautiful and attractive, at least that's how Manager Liu perceived them.
And the two boys opposite...
One of them looked like a college student; their physique and other features seemed to fit the bill.
The other one... with such a broad back and such a strong build, he must be older, right? He doesn't look like he's about the same age as Young Master Bai...
After Manager Liu walked over, he quickly attracted the attention of the four people.
He bent down, rubbed his hands together, smiled, and called out softly:
"Mr. Zhou?"
"Ok?"
Zhou Hongyu reacted immediately, looked up, turned around, and stared at Manager Liu with a surprised expression.
Zhou Heng then turned to look at the manager, but upon seeing the exaggerated object behind Manager Liu, he immediately frowned and turned his head away, pretending not to see it...
Now, Manager Liu had locked onto his target – it had to be this young man in front of him!
He looks to be about the same age as Young Master Bai, and he's with his girlfriend, who is very beautiful!
"Ah! Mr. Zhou, hello. I'm Liu, the manager of the Platinum Qinghe Hot Spring Hotel. This is a gift from our boss. We hope you and your girlfriend have a pleasant stay. Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality..."
After Manager Liu finished speaking, he stepped aside, allowing the two waiters to place the enormous platter on their table...
Now all eyes in the restaurant were on them, craning their necks, filled with curiosity...
Zhou Hongyu and Tong Yining were both stunned, sitting there motionless, their hands frozen in mid-air...
Yin Mengran was the first to react, and she moved closer to Zhou Heng, asking in a low voice, "Uh... this wouldn't be... something Bai Cang was planning to give you, would it?"
"Maybe so, at least we have a scapegoat... Let's eat quickly, and then we'll leave..."
Zhou Heng responded softly, his words carrying a hint of schadenfreude...
He hadn't expected Bai Cang to find out they were here so quickly; was he trying to force them to owe him a favor?
Fortunately, there was another person surnamed Zhou nearby...
Now look what's happened. Bai Cang has done the favor to the wrong person; it has nothing to do with Zhou Heng and the others...
Manager Liu hadn't left yet and continued to ask:
"Would you two like a private room? I'll take you there right away. Please feel free to ask if you need anything, and I'll make sure it's there..."
Tong Yining, like a zombie, leaned forward to look at Zhou Hongyu and asked, "What...did you do?"
Zhou Hongyu's neck stiffened further. He shook his head and said:
"I do not know..."
