30: We've invited you.
The person speaking was Sun Haoyu. He had been extremely active during the recent military training, and since everyone was an adult, they all knew what he was thinking.
With military training ending soon, it was time to elect a class monitor. Classes with many girls often chose a male monitor due to the complexity of female cliques.
And this Sun Haoyu was a strong candidate for the male class monitor position.
"A group meal is great! A group meal is excellent. A few of us can only order a couple of dishes, but at a group meal, everyone can eat many dishes!" Gao Haitao shouted excitedly.
"I agree to the group meal!"
Hearing him cheer, Chang Heng naturally couldn't sit still and also shouted:
"I agree to the group meal too!"
Subsequently, almost all the boys agreed. Shen Qian glanced at Tan Xinxin. According to his original plan, tonight he needed to study human anatomy and perform maintenance on the Perpetual Motion Machine with Tan Xinxin.
But given the current situation, all three of his roommates had agreed. If he didn't go, it wouldn't look right, especially since those three drunks were definitely going to get wasted at the dinner.
"I'll go too."
During this military training, the girls had also established a hierarchy. In Shen Qian's words, it was a Three-Way Stalemate: the Tan Xinxin faction, the Wen Ru faction, and another faction led by the suddenly prominent Fang Hui.
If Tan Xinxin agreed, it basically meant that her faction also agreed.
"Then we'll go too."
Fang Hui raised her hand, smiling brightly.
The rest were Wen Ru and her group. Since the majority were attending, they had no choice but to go.
"Alright, it's settled then. Here's the deal: for this group meal, the guys will split the bill (AA), and the girls eat for free."
"What the hell!?"
As soon as he said this, the group of boys was stunned. So, in the end, they were supposed to pay while he took all the credit.
Who could tolerate that?
"What the hell are you talking about?! Who does things like that? You idiot, you f***ing..."
Chang Heng had a short fuse, and after the torment of military training these past few days, he had already unlocked the hidden attribute of East Province: swearing.
He was like a machine gun, and it was only after Shen Qian forcefully intervened that he calmed down.
"Chang Heng, our class has about 40 people in total. Girls don't eat much anyway. What's wrong with a dozen or so guys splitting the cost? If you don't want to split it, I'll cover your share for you, how about that?"
"F*** your mom, do you think I can't afford it or something?! You don't need to be so hypocritical here."
"Boss! Stop cursing!"
The group dinner was already decided. Chang Heng stepping forward now was indeed speaking up for the boys, but his solitary voice was useless. The other boys, mindful of their reputation, were unwilling to speak up and help.
Gao Haitao wanted to pick up where Chang Heng left off and continue cursing, but Shen Qian pressed him down too.
"Watch me."
He patted both of them on the shoulder.
"Young Master Sun, I know your family is rich, but you can't assume everyone else is rich just because you are.
Everyone just got their living expenses, and everyone knows how much was spent at the military training base. The boys aren't exactly wealthy.
How about this: you don't need to help our boss split the bill. I'll cover all the expenses for the class boys for the dinner—including you.
Since Young Master Sun is rich, why don't you cover all the expenses for the class girls? Let's treat this meal as a joint treat from the two of us. What do you all think?"
"I agree!" Chang Heng immediately jumped up.
"Me too!" Gao Haitao chimed in, and subsequently, almost all the boys in the class immediately agreed.
As for the girls, they had initially been a little annoyed by Chang Heng's sudden interference, but since they ultimately wouldn't have to pay, they naturally expressed their agreement immediately.
"Shen Qian, what kind of joke are you playing!"
Shen Qian shrugged.
"My roommates all know that when it comes to paying, I never joke around."
"What's wrong, Sun? You don't have the money, do you? If you're broke, why are you showing off? Hahahahahaha."
Chang Heng delivered the finishing blow at the perfect moment. Shen Qian sometimes genuinely felt that this boss was truly straightforward with his temper. It was a good thing they lived in a society governed by law; if he took that temper out into the world, how many beatings would he suffer?
"I'll pay, I'll pay!"
"Good. Then everyone choose a restaurant. Remember, absolutely don't hold back with me, and don't hold back with Young Master Sun. We can afford the bill."
Once Shen Qian made that statement, everyone instantly gasped with excitement. During this time, Shen Qian had worn his rolex even during training, and many people had noticed the watch.
When some people found out the watch was worth over a million yuan, almost everyone in the class was stunned. They hadn't expected Shen Qian to be such a Rich Tycoon, yet so low-key.
Others said Shen Qian drove to school, and his daily driver was a brand-new bmw worth over 200,000 yuan.
The rest of the class couldn't verify this with Shen Qian, so they tried to get information indirectly from his three roommates.
Shen Qian hadn't specifically asked the three of them to keep it a secret, but they still asked for his opinion, and then they started bragging wildly.
Their roommate was a Rich Tycoon and had a great relationship with them, so they basically attributed every rich young master's life they could imagine to Shen Qian.
Such as:
"A bmw is nothing. Do you know why Third Brother only drove a bmw 3 series here? He didn't want to show off, so he deliberately bought a new one. Back home, holy cow, his garage is full of sports cars. You know, Third Brother is a low-key person.
What? Why wear a rolex if he's low-key? He wants to be low-key, not pretend to be poor. What's wrong with wearing a rolex? You can't expect him to wear a kid's watch, you idiot."
Or:
"The other day, I went drinking with Third Brother. You know, we people from Shandong Province are particular about our liquor. I was just planning on drinking a bottle of a type of moutai liquor, but Third Brother said no. He said, 'We're good brothers, isn't drinking a type of moutai liquor a slap in my face?' Guess what he opened in the end?
Romanée-Conti. I was stunned when he brought out that wine. Do you understand that feeling? A single bottle of wine that could buy a car, and he just drank it!"
And so on.
"Hey, let me say something. It's great that Third Brother and Sun are treating, but we can't go too far. If we ask Third Brother to reserve the entire Peace Hotel, that's excessive. So when we look for a restaurant, let's try to find something reasonable, okay?"
Seeing that someone was actually looking at the Peace Hotel, Chang Heng, who had already played the bad guy once, decided to do it again. He knew Shen Qian was rich, but Shen Qian was ultimately sticking up for him, and he couldn't let him get ripped off.
"Shen Qian, is 500 yuan per person okay?"
He actually didn't care. He still had several cashback cards unused, and anything under 1 million yuan was fine. But of course, he couldn't say that, or else the people in the class would treat him like a sucker.

"Below 1,000 yuan per person, feel free to choose."
He spoke calmly, but Sun Haoyu's expression suddenly changed. At 1,000 yuan per person, for more than 30 girls, that was over 30,000 yuan.
He did have a little money; his parents only gave him 20,000 yuan every quarter. School had just started, and he only had just over 10,000 yuan left. How was he supposed to pay 30,000 yuan?
