I Am Born With A Silver Spoon
Chapter 217 The Highest Standard

"Hmph! Do you not know to wait for us at the entrance after you found a table for us?"

Zhao Tongtong complained after reaching Chen Hao's seat with Qin Ya.

Chen Hao lowered his phone and smiled lightly. He was busy looking through the investment reports from Ping An County that Li Zhenguo just sent him.

Su Li and the others seated at the table next to Chen Hao's were dumbfounded.

"Wait, what? Those were actually Chen Hao's friends?"

Their facial expressions changed to embarrassment, especially Li Chao, who was still standing at the side, holding his phone.

These people didn't even acknowledge him just now. He couldn't believe that Chen Hao was so close to them. Li Chao still felt humiliated by the incident just now. "Hm? Chen Hao, do you happen to know those people at the table next to us?

When Qin Ya arrived, she naturally sat next to Chen Hao. However, looking at the people at the table next to theirs staring at Chen Hao in shock, she inquired curiously. "Haha, Chen Hao, aren't you going to introduce your friends to us? You made me embarrass myself when they ignored me while I was trying to strike up a conversation!"

Li Chao forced a smile as he walked over.

He suddenly thought, Would it be that Chen Hao avoided acknowledging them on purpose so that he would humiliate himself?

He masked his resentment and added, "Hey, pretty girls! Nice meeting all of you, we are all Chen Hao's friends from high school! What a coincidence to be able to sit with you guys! Haha! Chen Hao, you're in the wrong here. Why have you not ordered yet? Do you want them to starve? Don't you feel sorry?"

Li Chao sat over at Chen Hao's table, trying to rebuild their impressions toward him.

It was obvious that he was trying to act as a mediator in order to show off in front of the beautiful girls.

"Yeah! They are my high school classmates. What a coincidence!"

Chen Hao laughed bitterly.

"Isn't that great? You get to introduce your classmates to me! As your girlfriend, it isn't a good thing if I don't even know your high school classmates!" Qin Ya exclaimed cheerfully.

Her thoughts were simple. She felt that Chen Hao's classmates should be her considered her friends too.

Although her relationship with Chen Hao was fake, she still treated it as if it was real.

However, what Qin Ya said left them dumbfounded again.

Wait, what? This gorgeous girl is actually Chen Hao's girlfriend?

The guys' eyes flared with jealousy.

Most of them were entrepreneurs-they had insurance and retirement benefits, as well as cars and houses.

What about Chen Hao?

He was just a poor loser.

Moreover, many of them were still single.

It was unbelievable that Chen Hao landed himself such a beautiful girlfriend.

Who wouldn't be jealous of Chen Hao?

Especially Li Chao-his face almost turned green with envy.

"Oh, you're Chen Hao's girlfriend? Nice to meet you, my name is Li Chao. My parents are from the Public Health Bureau and I'm working for the hospital now."

Li Chao extended his hand for Qin Ya to shake.

He also laid out all his cards to show his superiority.

Adjusting his sleeves by shaking his wrist a little, a watch that cost around 9000 was shown on his wrist.

However, to Qin Ya, he sounded stupid. It's just an introduction, so does he really have to bring his parents into it?

He seemed strange to her, so she did not shake his hand.

However, Chen Hao shook hands with Li Chao instead; he was worried that Li Chao would feel even more humiliated.

"Haha, I can't believe it! In high school, Chen Hao was notorious for being a poor loser, always disliked by others no matter where he went! It is such a surprise that he can get someone so pretty as his girlfriend!" Li Chao continued on.

At the same time, he gave the guys next to him a look.

One of the guys caught on immediately. He slapped the table and said, "Yeah, Chen Hao is such a lucky man! Do you guys remember? There was once when Chen Hao did not have enough money to pay for his fees. When he still needed around 6 bucks? Oh my God, he was kicked out by our teacher! Haha! It was also raining heavily that day!"

Su Li also added snarkily, "Of course I do! Chen Hao went to collect used bottles under the rain that day. Then he sold them to get the additional 6 bucks to pay for his fees, haha! Back then, no one in the class bothered helping him. How unexpected, he is different from back then. Now, he can even afford treating his friends at Midu restaurant. He also has a beautiful girlfriend. How awesome!"

Everyone's comments were dripping with sarcasm.

They exposed things Chen Hao would rather not mention from the past.

It was obvious that these stories were meant for Qin Ya and the others.

Unsurprisingly, Zhao Tongtong's cousin, as well Tongtong's friends looked at Chen Hao disdainfully. What kind of person is this?

"It's fine, Chen Hao. However, since this is your girlfriend's first meal in Ping An County, you should at least get them the standard 388 meal right?" one of the guys chided.

Li Chao frowned, "What are you even talking about? Are you saying that these two beautiful girls are worth 388 only? Chen Hao, you better feel sorry if you don't order the highest standard meal worth 688 for these two beautiful girls!"

"But, don't you worry, Chen Hao. If you don't have enough money with you, I could always lend you some! Then, you won't be embarrassed!"

Right then, a waiter came over to take their orders.

"Sir, may I know which meal you would like to order?"

Everyone from the two tables stared at Chen Hao.

"Get me the highest standard 688 meal sets then!"

In fact, Chen Hao had wanted to get the 688 set meals in the first place anyways.

"Pssh!"

Li Chao and the others broke into laughter.

They thought, This idiot, 688 set meals plus beverages will total up to around 6000!

Zhao Tongtong and the others were speechless too.

Is Chen Hao stupid? It was obvious that those people were doing it on purpose because they had bad intentions!

Can't believe that he fell right into it! Seriously!

Zhao Tongtong knew that Chen Hao wasn't well-off financially. So, she had already discussed with Qin Ya; they weren't really going to make Chen Hao pay for this meal by himself. However, Chen Hao stupidly went on to order the most expensive meal set!

God! I'm so annoyed!

"Excuse me? We are fine with cheaper options, just the normal standard meal would be fine!" Qin Ya tried to change the order.

"It's fine, just get us the 688 option. Go!"

Chen Hao didn't want to say anymore.

The taunts from Li Chao and the others made him feel as if his brain was going to explode.

"Hmph! Just let him be. We shall see how it goes when he pays later," Tongtong's cousin proclaimed coldly.

Just like that, everyone's highest standard set meals were served. However, everyone on Li Chao's table deliberately ate slower.

When Chen Hao and the others were done and wanted to pay, they also decided to pay.

"Yo, Mister Chao! You guys finished so fast?"

The cashier greeted Li Chao immediately when she saw him.

Li Chao flashed his watch again. Then he pointed at Li Mingxue and said, "Hey, this is my best friend, you should give us a discount!"

"No problem, Mister Chao! I will give you a 30% discount on your total bill. Besides, we will also give you a tea set that is worth around 100 since our restaurant is having a promotion!"

The cashier who was obviously older than Li Chao added politely.

"Damn! It feels so good going out with Li Chao!"

One of the guys started flattering him.

Li Mingxue finally finished paying the bill.

However, Li Chao refused to leave and stared at Chen Hao who was waiting for his turn to pay.

"Mister Chao, is this your friend too?"

The cashier could see that they knew each other. If that was the case, she should give him the same treatment too.

However, Li Chao acted as if he couldn't hear the cashier and glanced at his watch instead.

The cashier immediately caught on.

"Hello, sir. Your bill totals up to 5911, would you like to pay by card or by cash?" the cashier monotonously greeted.

"Why don't you give us a discount of 11 bucks?" Chen Hao asked, smiling. It was fine if Li Chao wanted to act like he didn't know him. It was just a meal anyways, there's no need to take this so seriously.

"I'm sorry, sir. All prices in our restaurant are fixed. A discount of 1 buck is impossible, let alone 11 bucks," the cashier held her cheek with one hand and said, bored.

From the counter, she could see everything clearly. It was obvious that Li Chao provoked this man to order the high standard set meals. Moreover, judging from his looks, he must be poor. Hence, she couldn't help but look down on him too.

"Hey! How could you give them a 30% discount of the bill but refuse even to give us a discount of 1 buck?"

Qin Ya was furious at how everyone bullied Chen Hao.

"It's fine, Qin Ya. Let's just leave after settling the bills!" Chen Hao shook his head.

"Hmph! You could at least give us a tea set too, right? After all, we spent around 6000 too!" Qin Ya said coldly.

"We could. However, I'm sorry to inform you that our restaurant has a limit of 50 tea sets per day only. Just now, Mr. Li Chao had redeemed the last set. How about you guys dine here again tomorrow? I will make sure to keep one set for you!"

The cashier grinned a little.

Indeed, instead of dealing with one-off customers like this, it is better to maintain a good relationship with customers like Young Master Li.

Moreover, her sister was still studying in a nursing school. She wasn't stupid. If she did it right, her sister would have a great career in the future!

"Hey! Give me the bill!"

Suddenly, a harsh voice rang out.

A young man walked right up to the counter and slammed his hand on the table.

Upon seeing this young man, the cashier, Li Chao as well as his friends' facial expression changed immediately...
