"So you admit it?" Wen Xiaobao retorted.
"Yes!" Jiang Xiaoliang declared with pride.
"Fuck!" Wen Xiaobao grabbed a plate and viciously smashed it.
Clang!
The plate shattered on impact. Wen Xiaobao gritted his teeth and said, "Then I can't be bothered to play along anymore. Fuck!"
He didn't forget to curse one more ti before leaving.
After Wen Xiaobao left, the classmates were all dumbstruck.
Xiao Han glanced at everyone and then laughed, saying, "Instead of letting so guy show off to us here, why not find a place to enjoy so good food and a few good drinks at a street stall? Big Fatty, let's go."
"Let's go!" Li Dapang tossed his plate aside, which imdiately smashed into pieces.
Chen Zihan hurriedly grabbed Xiao Han's arm and said, "I'm coming too!"
" too!" Yang Xiaoyan quickly pulled her boyfriend along and chased after them.
Many classmates followed suit. Li Dapang didn't forget to lean in and shout, "Who else wants to co? It's on ."
After saying this, he quickly left.
"I'll go."
" too, count in!"
In the banquet hall, many people stood up to leave. A group of people decided to depart, planning to follow Big Fatty to find so place for late-night snacks. Why bother putting on airs here? They felt totally out of place anyway. Moreover, the host wasn't sincerely entertaining them, serving up all sorts of shoddy food and industrial-chemically adulterated booze... Stuff that not even pigs would eat, yet expected to entertain his classmates with.
"I didn't expect Jiang Xiaoliang to be so excessive."
"Sigh, let's go."
People continued to leave in dribs and drabs, and eventually, only a few were left in the banquet hall. Liao Zhijie was still sitting in the lounge area, and a few other people were Jiang Xiaoliang's close buddies. They clustered together, silent. They really couldn't mingle with Li Dapang, which is why they hadn't followed him out.
The group left the hotel.
"Fatty, where shall we go for skewers?"
"Where do you want to go?" Li Dapang asked.
"Heh, let's just hit up Hann Restaurant!" soone suggested. "The last ti we had midnight snacks at Hann Restaurant was pretty good. Not only do they have barbecue, but also so really tasty dishes. So, what do you guys think?"
"Sounds good!" Li Dapang imdiately perked up upon hearing this.
"With so many of us, how are we getting there?" soone from behind asked.
"We'll hail so cars," Xiao Han replied and then added, "Big Fatty, call for sedans."
"Okay!" Li Dapang had connections. Getting a car was simple for him; he just made a call.
A minibus soon ca racing over. The driver was Fatty's good friend, a guy who had contracted a route in Linjiang City and started running a bus service, with governnt subsidies and his earnings from driving. He was making a decent living. With just one call from Li Da, he hurried over with his vehicle.
"Fatty," the driver greeted with a chuckle.
"Ant, are you alive?" Li Dapang chuckled and then said, "Hurry up, can everyone fit?"
"Yeah!" The driver glanced over and replied, "It's not too far, we can squeeze in and get there. Hop on!"
The bus doors opened, and everyone cramd inside.
The minibus was allowed to carry thirty-five people but ended up squeezing in over forty. The driver sped off quickly towards Hann Restaurant opposite Fuxing Community. It was peak ti for late-night snacks. By the ti they reached the entrance, there were already quite a few cars gathered outside.
"We're here!" Li Dapang announced, "Everybody off."
Next, everyone opened the doors and got off the bus, revealing smiles on their faces.
For so, it was their first ti at Hann Restaurant, and as they entered, they imdiately appreciated the tasteful décor. Liu Xiaolei hurriedly ca forward to welco everyone, and with her sharp eyes, she quickly spotted Li Dapang and Xiao Han, exclaiming in surprise, "Fat Li, Xiao Han... what's this?"
"Class reunion!" Li Dapang laughed, "We brought our classmates here for a al. Get us a big private room."
"Of course!" Liu Xiaolei responded imdiately, nodding, and then said, "There's a large private room upstairs with three tables. That should be enough."
"If it's not, we'll just squeeze in, make it lively," Li Dapang laughed heartily, "Squeezing the guys and girls together will make it warr too."
"Haha..." Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
A smile appeared on everyone's faces as they all laughed. The group made their way toward the large private room on the second floor.
There was a lot of chatter and laughter among the group, and although it didn't have the class or prestige of the Sheraton Hotel, this place was more welcoming. Plus, sitting together to chat and boast was the real aning of a get-together.
At the Sheraton, everyone could only watch as all the female classmates circled around Jiang Xiaoliang, fawning over him. Which male classmate would enjoy that? So, once they were in the private room, everyone imdiately felt the atmosphere warm up a lot, and there was much more lively interaction. Only when the male and female classmates chatted could there be a lively atmosphere, and throwing in so risqué jokes made it even more animated.
Once they were seated, Li Dapang didn't hold back, he ordered the restaurant's most expensive dishes and barbecue. A whole roasted lamb cost twelve hundred.
When the whole roasted lamb was brought to the table, excitent imdiately ensued.
"Whoa, roasted whole lamb?"
"That's not cheap, right?"
"Aweso, it's my first ti eating roasted whole lamb!"
The group was overjoyed, everyone beca excited, showing imnse enthusiasm.
"Not expensive, a whole lamb is just twelve hundred!" Li Dapang laughed and said, "Three lambs are just three thousand six hundred. Adding so odds and ends, the total cos to about ten thousand."
Sss...
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
It was clear that Li Dapang was trying to show off in front of Yang Xiaoyan. However, Xiao Han supported him because Yang Xiaoyan had been too much, dumping Li Dapang just because of geographical distance. Now she had the audacity to show off with her current boyfriend. So from a revenge standpoint, Xiao Han supported Li Dapang's retaliatory face-slapping.
"You fatso, how much do you make a month?" the first to leave, Wen Xiaobao, asked.
"Not much," Li Dapang shook his head and said, "Just over a hundred thousand a month. So, spending ten thousand to treat everyone to a al is nothing much."
Li Dapang's words evidently shocked everyone even more.
Disbelief was written on everyone's faces. To them, Li Dapang was just a high school graduate, at best an ordinary office worker, and among those workers, Fat Li would probably be considered the lowest and least impressive. Everyone thought Li Dapang's salary wouldn't exceed five thousand. But here he was, claiming he made over a hundred thousand a month, how could they not be stunned?
"Fatso, are you robbing banks?" Wen Xiaobao, always blunt, asked, "Where are you making so much money? Will you die if you don't brag? We're all classmates, who are you trying to impress? Don't we all know how much you make?"
"Hehe..." Li Dapang chuckled and said, "I forgot to give you guys an introduction about myself. Now I'm... well, let's say, the deputy general manager of Hann Catering, and also the general manager of Hann Technology. I hold multiple positions. Oh yes, I'm one of the shareholders of Hann Company. My monthly inco of over a hundred thousand includes my salary, benefits, and dividends."
"Wow!" everyone exclaid, their eyes filled with envy.
"You guys might know, we already have five branches of Hann Restaurant in Linjiang City, and we have a location in the provincial city too." Li Dapang said with pride, exuberantly telling the crowd, "Our monthly gross profit is over a million..."
Li Dapang introduced Hann Catering with great confidence.
In fact, without Li Dapang's explanation, everyone knew that Hann Restaurant was doing extrely well, which filled their eyes with surprise and delight.
"Fatso, who's going to believe you just because you say so?" Wen Xiaobao snorted from the side.
Just then, Liu Xiaolei walked in at the right mont, smiled slightly, and said, "I can attest to that. Li Dapang truly is one of the shareholders of Hann Restaurant. Although not the largest shareholder, he owns five percent of the restaurant."
"Oh..." everyone marvelled.
A monthly profit of over a million, five percent is fifty to sixty thousand, plus salary and benefits, it all adds up to over a hundred thousand without too much trouble. Wen Xiaobao couldn't help but pat Li Dapang's shoulder and said, "Damn, I really didn't expect you, fatty, to be doing so well now?"
"Really?" Li Dapang smiled faintly, then said, "I think this inco is just average. In the future, Hann Company will definitely do even better. I feel my current inco is quite little, plus, the company's earnings are bound to increase dramatically. Especially once it gets going. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you guys, in the future, I might get a copper mine. Once the Copper Mine is secured, the market value of Hann Group will imdiately skyrocket by dozens or even a hundred tis. In the future, our company's market value might even surpass ida Group!"
Whoa...
The place instantly erupted, surpassing ida Group would an a market value of over a hundred million, wouldn't it?
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked. It was simply astonishing. Yang Xiaoyan was stunned. Who would have thought that fortunes could change so drastically, that Li Dapang would beco wealthy all of a sudden. If it were truly a hundred million, five percent of the shares would be worth five million. And the future earnings were potentially limitless.
"My God."
"Is this for real?"
"A hundred million?"
Everyone looked shocked, completely astounded.
"Oh yeah." Li Dapang smiled faintly, then said, "The current valuation for this Copper Mine is around five hundred million."
The group was dumbstruck, five hundred million! What kind of concept was that? It was truly shocking. Five hundred million, with a five percent shareholding, equates to an estimated value of twenty-five million. That was just astonishing.
