NOVPUBLu Yuan straightened his sleeves and said sarcastically,
"Wu Bin, could it be that your future dream is to become a firefighter?"
All of Lu Yuan’s lackeys burst into laughter, agreeing with him.
"It’s been over two months since school started, right? Seems like Wu Bin has only attended one class?"
"Falling behind in studies, whether or not he can graduate is a question, even the fire station might not want him."
"You guys really hit the nail on the head, Wu Bin is indeed unique. We are all admiring the decorations and murals of this restaurant, and he’s actually looking for fire extinguishers in the corner."
"Maybe he just doesn’t appreciate it? Such elegant art is hard to understand without a certain upbringing."
It goes without saying that the aggressiveness of Lu Yuan’s lackeys was truly formidable.
In every word, they hinted at Wu Bin’s orphan status.
Han Jiaoyan was very angry and her fondness for Lu Yuan dropped to rock bottom in an instant.
"How can you talk about Wu Bin like that? Wu Bin is also considering our safety!"
"If this restaurant has safety issues, then what’s the use of it being high-class?"
"In case of an incident, can these so-called murals and statues save your lives?"
Wu Bin looked at Han Jiaoyan in surprise.
He hadn’t expected Han Jiaoyan to stand up for him so outspokenly.
You should know that Lu Yuan was now a rich second-generation worth twenty million; other girls couldn’t wait to please him, let alone offend him.
Lu Yuan also hadn’t expected that after his lackeys mocked Wu Bin, Han Jiaoyan’s reaction would be so intense.
Damn it, could it be that just holding hands was enough?
Your protection is a bit unreasonable!
Thinking this, Lu Yuan still managed to squeeze out a smile.
"What they said was indeed incorrect; we are all classmates, and it’s normal to have different levels of appreciation."
"Thank you, Wu Bin, for your valuable suggestion. I will assign someone to handle this matter and resolve the safety concerns in our restaurant."
Lu Yuan thought he had given Wu Bin enough face with these comments.
Who knew that Wu Bin would quickly wave his hands.
"No no no, I was just saying that offhand. How would I know anything about these hidden dangers?"
"Lu Yuan, you’re so smart, I believe you must have considered all these safety concerns."
Wu Bin walked up to a mural, pretending to admire it for a while, then nodded and praised,
"This must be the world-famous painting ’Mona Lisa’s Mischievous Smile,’ right?"
"Beautifully done, vibrant and lively!"
Hearing Wu Bin say this, the lackeys showed faces of disdain.
Hick.
It’s called lifelike!
What vibrant and lively, do you even know how to use idioms?
Lu Yuan was baffled by Wu Bin’s sudden shift in giving him face.
Only the viewers in the live stream understood the scheme.
"This is bad, I feel like Brother Wu is brewing something big."
"Based on my understanding of Brother Wu, this Lu Yuan might be in for some real trouble."
"New fan just joining the live stream, I’m confused, why do you say that?"
"To the person above, there was a security guard named Jiang Lin who looked down on Brother Wu. Wu Bin, holding no grudges, invited him for a hotpot meal, and then…"
Well, what happened afterward is well-known to everyone.
First food poisoning, then a broken right hand, and an injury when using the bathroom that cost him his dignity as a man.
When Wu Bin is arrogant and domineering, you don’t have to fear him.
Because his mischief is all out in the open.
But when Wu Bin lowers his stance, you should be careful; this cunning old chap is definitely brewing something big, ready to sit on your head and shit at any moment.
With the recent turn of events, most of the classmates no longer wanted to associate with Wu Bin, feeling it was beneath them.
Resenting the rich can be understandable.
But when Lu Yuan spends so much money to treat everyone, it’s unreasonable for you to nitpick.
For a time, Lu Yuan was surrounded by a crowd of people moving forward, with female students constantly coming close to him under the guise of asking questions but actually throwing themselves at him, deliberately creating physical contact.
Wu Bin and Han Jiaoyan, on the other hand, walked far behind them, enjoying their peace.
Lu Yuan was internally suffering.
Damn, I want to walk with Han Jiaoyan!
Can you all not crowd around me!
Wu Bin didn’t realize how much pain Lu Yuan was feeling; he walked along, his brow furrowing tighter and tighter.
The safety hazards in this restaurant were more severe than he had imagined!
"Wu Bin, what are you thinking about?"
Han Jiaoyan looked at Wu Bin curiously.
Wu Bin said with a smile, "I was just thinking that young master Lu really has taste. He even carpeted the hallways thickly and placed flaming scented lamps every few meters. Even the trash cans are covered with cloth."
"If there were a fire, I doubt anyone could escape, right?"
Han Jiaoyan burst into laughter.
"Your thoughts really are different from ordinary people, huh."
"Why do you always think about things catching fire?"
Wu Bin sighed and said, "Because I’m afraid of pain."
"A small fire would be manageable, but if a big fire broke out, I don’t know if I could handle it."
"What?"
Han Jiaoyan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding Wu Bin’s meaning.
Wu Bin shook his head.
"Never mind, it’s nothing."
In just the time it took for them to chat, Lu Yuan had led them into a luxurious private room.
Everyone was instantly shocked by the luxuriousness of the private room as they entered.
"Oh my, this is way too big and classy!"
"I feel like this private room could easily accommodate four hundred people!"
Lu Yuan boastfully said, "This is the most luxurious room in our restaurant, intended for big company bosses to hold meetings."
"Since it’s newly opened these days, there are no bookings, but in a couple of days, it will be unavailable as various business tycoons have already booked this hall till next month."
The other girls looked at Lu Yuan with even more fervor.
It seemed like Lu Yuan was shining in their eyes.
Whoever becomes Lu Yuan’s wife will probably never run out of money, right?
While they were thinking this, Lu Yuan clapped his hands.
The door to the hall opened, and thirty-odd waitresses in cheongsam walked in, setting up over eighty charcoal grills throughout the hall.
These charcoal grills had wire racks on top for grilling various fruits and vegetables.
The waitresses also thoughtfully prepared reclining chairs for everyone, placing four around each charcoal grill.
Under the guidance of the waitresses, the students grouped in fours and sat around the grills.
Wu Bin and Han Jiaoyan naturally sat together, and Lu Yuan, along with his lackey Gao Bai, came over as well.
"How is it, Han? Is my ’Around the Fire Brewing Tea’ event to your liking?"
Han Jiaoyan pursed her lips and didn’t respond.
Wu Bin, on the other hand, gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up from the side, praising him highly.
"Nice one, young master Lu, awesome!"
"We’re stepping on carpets, sitting in bamboo chairs, and even the tables around us are all made of wood—you really have great taste!"
Lu Yuan felt strangely praised.
Why do I always feel like this kid is mocking me?
