A stir -
Throwing a stone raises a thousand ripples.
The class was in an uproar, and everyone was boiling.
Jinmeiyuan Hotel is a famously high-end hotel. Without some skills, people can at most order a couple cheap dishes to experience it.
Yet Cheng Tao actually has the supreme card of Jinmeiyuan Hotel?
This is no longer just about eating and drinking, because there are very few supreme cards, and every holder is someone even more awesome than the boss of Jinmeiyuan Hotel!
Qin Xuan was also a bit startled.
Someone of Cheng Tao's status can have a supreme card?
Last night, Qin Xuan found that his supreme card was missing, but because of previous events, he realized Jin Cheng was petty so he didn't plan on using that card.
So when it went missing, he didn't care.
"Could that card be mine?"
Qin Xuan wondered to himself. Although he wouldn't use the card, it was still his belonging after all. Having it misused by others would be very disgusting.
Based on this, Qin Xuan took out his phone and told An Bowen to ask Jin Cheng.
At this time, the atmosphere in the class was still boiling.
Some didn't believe it.
Cheng Tao immediately went into the official Jinmeiyuan Hotel service account on the spot, and proved it to everyone.
The bound name was Cheng Tao!
In that instant, the gaze of many people changed.
As Li Jiangbo said, human nature tends to curry favor with the powerful. As soon as they found out Cheng Tao had the supreme card, they immediately released an ingratiating aura.
"Everyone who wants to go to Jinmeiyuan Hotel for dinner tonight, come over here."
Cheng Tao waved grandly and said majestically: "Also, I should often organize class gatherings in the future. When that happens, you won't have to spend a cent and can enjoy the highest standard of treatment at Jinmeiyuan Hotel!"
Swish swish swish -
Except for Xia Wanying, Chen Yan, Liu Xinxin, Song Changdong and Wu Han's dormitory, everyone else went over without a moment's hesitation!
No matter how sensational Qin Xuan was on campus these past two days, it didn't provide them any substantial benefits.
Cheng Tao's side was different. Getting a free ride at Jinmeiyuan Hotel, who could resist that?
They of course also understood that by standing on Cheng Tao's side now, they were opposing Qin Xuan. But no one cared.
Cheng Tao had just lost face, and immediately regained the situation. Although bruised and swollen, he still smiled very happily.
He really wanted to see Qin Xuan get angry and frustrated.
Unfortunately Qin Xuan remained expressionless.
At this time, Chen Yan called Qin Xuan to the side and whispered: "I heard you're also participating in the welcome party, and were practicing piano at the rehearsal room?"
"Yes." Qin Xuan replied plainly.
Chen Yan helplessly sighed on the spot.
She had told classmates that she was captivated by a piano-playing man. This matter must have spread...
And Qin Xuan suddenly wanting to play piano at the party was definitely to attract her attention!
"Qin Xuan, grow up a bit. There are many piano players, do I have to like every one? Some people just have certain traits that captivate me at first sight, but that person isn't you."
Chen Yan lamented: "Can you stop imitating others badly? It's very off-putting."
"..."
Qin Xuan was so confused he couldn't understand a word she said. He quickly questioned: "Did a donkey kick your brain?"
"Playing dumb huh. I really dislike when you do this - clearly wanting to pursue me but adamantly denying it. Isn't it because you're afraid of formally confessing and then being rejected by me?"
Chen Yan was extremely speechless: "Also, you caused trouble by making Sun Yanan dump Xinxin. You need to apologize to Xinxin immediately, otherwise we'll stand on Cheng Tao's side too."
Ten thousand grass mud horses galloped through Qin Xuan's mind.
What she said was so confusing, he couldn't comprehend a single sentence.
"Go wherever you want, no need to report to me. Also, this is the last time I'll tell you - don't say these incomprehensible things to me in the future, it's annoying to listen to." Qin Xuan said.
"Yanyan, don't waste words with this kind of person. Let's go to Cheng Tao's side and piss him off!"
Liu Xinxin immediately pulled Chen Yan and walked towards Cheng Tao.
Cheng Tao became even more smug.
Although there were still a few stubborn people, the vast majority had come over. That was enough for him to feel cocky.
"You country bumpkin, so what if you can fight. In this society, those with money and power are the bosses. Someone like you can never eat more than three dishes at Jinmeiyuan Hotel in this lifetime." Cheng Tao looked at him with contempt.
Qin Xuan didn't respond to him, just looking down at his phone.
An Bowen had sent a message saying Jin Cheng issued very few supreme cards. Other than Qin Xuan's, the rest had bound names so there was no Cheng Tao.
So things were very clear.
Qin Xuan's supreme card was lost and picked up by Cheng Tao, who was now showing off with it!
Heh heh heh.
Qin Xuan suddenly felt like laughing.
After the last class ended.
Qin Xuan said to Wu Han and the others: "You guys definitely want to eat at Jinmeiyuan Hotel too right?"
Wu Han smiled awkwardly: "It'd be a lie to say we don't want to go. That place is too high-end. We don't have the power to experience it... But no matter how much we want to go, we don't want to be opportunists. I'm growing to dislike Cheng Tao more and more."
"Then I'll take you guys there." Qin Xuan said.
"Really? Then we won't stand on ceremony!" Wu Han was overjoyed.
"Of course."
Qin Xuan nodded, then said to Xia Wanying: "Don't leave after class in the evening, just take my car directly there."
Xia Wanying's face turned slightly red.
She could feel Qin Xuan's attitude towards her was different from others.
Especially noticing the envious gazes of Wu Han and the others, she couldn't help blushing.
"Okay."
Xia Wanying gently and obediently replied.
...
Evening.
Qin Xuan drove straight to Jinmeiyuan Hotel with Xia Wanying.
Wu Han and the others took taxis separately.
Cheng Tao and Li Jiangbo directly led dozens of people to Jinmeiyuan Hotel first, and booked a luxurious large private room with four tables of people.
Whether it was the alcohol or dishes, everything was ordered at the highest grade.
After all, they didn't have to pay, so of course they had to keep up appearances!
"Brother Tao, I think the counselor was blind to have revoked your class leader position. Is there anyone in class more suitable to be class leader than you?"
"Well you can't put it that way. Brother Tao is a successful person, not only has good family background, but is also so outstanding himself. Being class leader would only waste his time."
"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Tao is a dragon among men. Let's all toast to him!"
The classmates flattered him nonstop.
It sounded so nice, recklessly pouring towards Cheng Tao.
This feeling made Cheng Tao feel as if he was floating on air.
The more humiliation he suffered, the more he cherished this feeling of being revered. His vanity was satisfied like never before.
Just then.
The private room door was knocked on.
A middle-aged man walked in.
Cheng Tao's expression immediately changed.
Jiang Weizhong!
Father of his high school girlfriend!
In 11th grade, Cheng Tao dated a girl with family background even deeper than his.
Back then, Cheng Tao who had never suffered humiliation was actually viciously looked down on by this Jiang Weizhong!
Jiang Weizhong's words from that year still rang in his ears.
"Don't think that just because your family has some money, you can be a match for my daughter. Trash like you is a dime a dozen. To call you garbage would be praising you."
"The three slaps today are to warn you to stay away from my daughter from now on. Otherwise I will beat you to death, you bastard!"
Thinking of this, Cheng Tao's expression gradually turned gloomy as he clenched his fists.
He dreamed of retrieving the dignity he lost to Jiang Weizhong bit by bit. But the other side did have some background, and his parents told him not to provoke them.
This resentment had been buried for almost three years!!
"What are you here for?" Cheng Tao yelled angrily.
"Little Cheng, I heard you got the supreme card here?" Jiang Weizhong asked with a smile.
"You're pretty well informed." Cheng Tao sneered endlessly.
"Oh, I was really wrong before for overlooking that you're just a boy. Saying such harsh words may have brought tremendous harm to you. I came today specifically to apologize and make amends."
Jiang Weizhong took out a gift box and fawned: "This is a small antique, worth a million or two. Don't look down on it, my daughter still hasn't forgotten you... heh heh, if there's a chance..."
The private room immediately filled with sighs.
Everyone could see this person had harmed Cheng Tao before, and now came to seek reconciliation because Cheng Tao obtained the supreme card.
Cheng Tao was just too awesome!!
"You really are a mean person. Back when my family was not as well off as yours, you slapped me and called me trash. Now you're here trying to suck up to me with that smug face?"
Cheng Tao slapped Jiang Weizhong's cheek and spoke arrogantly, "Reconciliation is possible if you kneel down and beg me!"
Without any hesitation, Jiang Weizhong knelt down.
He was naturally not just apologizing, but valued this VIP named Jin Cheng.
If giving up his dignity meant gaining favor through Cheng Tao and connecting with Jin Cheng, he would willingly kneel like a dog!
Seeing Jiang Weizhong kneel down lifted a weight off Cheng Tao's chest. His face was filled with excitement.
"Brother Tao is awesome!"
"Brother Tao is mighty!"
"Brother Tao I love you!!"
The female students screamed frantically.
Watching Cheng Tao's smug expression, even they felt a sense of vicarious thrill, unable to contain the boiling blood!
Cheng Tao took a deep breath, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Perfect.
Tonight was simply perfect.
Moments of glory like these were unimaginable before.
Even parents who donated tens of millions to the school probably never experienced such an extreme feeling of smugness and being worshipped.
"My fellow students,"
Cheng Tao raised his glass and growled, "Let me ask you, what is that country bumpkin Qin Xuan worth?!"
Li Jiangbo smashed a glass furiously and sneered, "He's trash!"
"Trash!"
"Trash!"
"Trash!"
All the students tried their best to please Cheng Tao, cursing Qin Xuan as trash.
At this time, Chen Yan and Liu Xinxin did not join in the shouting, but had to admit, Cheng Tao was truly dazzling in this moment!
It turned out he was an undervalued rising star!
"Tsk."
Cheng Tao took a long, satisfying breath, unable to contain the comfort and intoxication, wishing he could howl to the sky!
Just as the atmosphere reached its peak,
the heavy door to the private room slowly opened.
A group of people walked in hurriedly.
Leading them was none other than the owner of Jinmeiyuan Hotel, Jin Cheng!
