60: Chapter 60 Refusing a Drink

Lin Yi opened the food delivery app on his phone and found Nanling Hotel.

"Let's earn a cashback rebate using Su Ming first."

Lin Yi thought to himself as his fingers tapped frantically on the phone screen.

Before long, he had ordered a huge amount of food.

Nanling Hotel, where the average cost per person is two to three thousand, was turned into a buffet by Lin Yi's ordering.

Then, with a sly plan in mind, Lin Yi filled in Su Ming's name in the delivery contact field.

He then clicked pay.

"Ding, you have spent 150,000 yuan for the cashback target. The target's affinity is 35 points."

"The cashback multiplier is being randomly generated..."

"Generated. This time the cashback multiplier is 32 times."

"Congratulations to the host for receiving 4.8 million yuan in cashback!"

Even a mosquito's leg is meat; every little bit counts.

Lin Yi was quite pragmatic.

Besides, four million plus was not a small amount.

It was just that the hundreds of millions in cashback from a few days ago had raised Lin Yi's psychological threshold, so this four million didn't cause much of a stir in his heart.

After placing the order successfully, Lin Yi first took a few bottles of fine wine out from the wine cellar.

"The food will be delivered soon, everyone start drinking!"

Seeing this, everyone walked over to the long table and sat around it.

The atmosphere is always great when young people get together.

A few of the guys cracked jokes, and soon the atmosphere was lively.

Amidst the laughter, the food delivery arrived quickly.

"Wow, so lavish!"

"It's Nanling Hotel!"

"I never thought I'd be able to eat food from Nanling Hotel one day!"

"Haha, thanks for the treat, Boss Lin!"

"Thanks, sugar daddy!"

The classmates excitedly unpacked the food, filling the entire table.

Australian lobster, foie gras, Spanish ham, caviar, and abalone the size of fists—everyone was dumbfounded for a moment.

"I never imagined I could eat these things as a main meal..."

"There are only ten of us in total... and there are twenty Australian lobsters..."

"I've seen situations where there are too many monks and not enough gruel, but this is the first time in my life I've fought such a wealthy battle!"

"Huh, why didn't you order any rice?"

"You bumpkin, why are you still eating carbs? You can get full just by eating lobster and abalone!"

"After this meal... I'm afraid I'll get gout immediately..."

"Forget about gout, even if it means amputation, I'm finishing this meal first!"

"Alright, enough said, it's all in the wine."

"Let's toast to Lin Yi!"

"Right, to Lin Yi!"

Lin Yi raised his glass and waved at his classmates.

"Today, Tongtong is our main character."

"Let me start. Let's wish Tongtong a happy birthday and may she stay eighteen forever!"

Hearing Lin Yi's well-wishes, Li Tong smiled shyly and clinked her glass with Lin Yi's, looking very sweet.

"Birthday girl, why are you only clinking glasses with Lin Yi and not us!"

"Nonsense, with Lin Yi here, Tongtong has no room for anyone else in her heart~"

The classmates started teasing her, one after another.

Li Tong's face turned even redder from embarrassment.

Although she enjoyed being teased by her classmates like this.

After all, she had developed genuine feelings for Lin Yi now.

But the two of them hadn't officially confirmed their relationship yet.

So she couldn't confidently respond to her classmates' remarks.

At this moment, Yang Xiaoli stepped in loyally to smooth things over for Li Tong.

"Alright, even a grand feast can't shut your mouths!"

"No leftovers today, don't waste Lin Yi's good intentions!"

Everyone had experienced Yang Xiaoli's fiery temper before, so they obediently changed the subject.

Watching Li Tong sitting beside Lin Yi looking so sweet, Sun Xiaoxiao felt sour in her heart.

Now she felt incredibly regretful.

Why did she conclude so early that Lin Yi must be a scammer...

He could order a meal costing 150,000 yuan.

How wealthy must his real net worth be!

Sun Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled as she began to harbor ulterior motives.

Lin Yi said at noon that if anyone got too drunk tonight, they could stay here.

If...

If she could get him drunk, then sneak into his room at night and take him down, surely she could at least make a profit from Lin Yi this way!

Just like the nation's husband, Principal Wang; even for the female internet celebrities who only had a fleeting affair with him, Principal Wang was always very generous.

Thinking of this, Sun Xiaoxiao nodded silently to herself.

"Lin Yi, I sincerely apologize to you."

"I was wrong about what happened before."

"I have realized my mistake."

"I hope you, as a big person, won't hold a grudge against a small person like me and can accept my apology."

Sun Xiaoxiao looked at him with alluring eyes, picked up her glass, walked over to Lin Yi, and downed the nearly half-glass of red wine in one go.

Lin Yi frowned and carefully observed Sun Xiaoxiao's expression.

Did she repent so quickly? Or did she have other motives after learning his true identity?

The latter was likely more probable.

But Lin Yi didn't care.

Anyway, the money was in his hands, and Sun Xiaoxiao couldn't take it away.

No matter what ulterior motives she had, as long as he kept his guard up, it would be fine.

So, Lin Yi also poured himself a full glass of red wine.

"Fine, let bygones be bygones; let's not mention it again."

Since the girl drank so boldly, Lin Yi naturally couldn't show weakness.

He downed the full glass of red wine in one gulp.

Fortunately, he had strengthened his physical fitness level through the system before.

Lin Yi discovered that his tolerance for alcohol seemed to have improved.

After a full glass of red wine, he didn't feel much of anything.

Seeing Lin Yi drink so decisively, Sun Xiaoxiao felt her plan might actually work.

Thus, she kept finding various excuses to drink with Lin Yi.

The other classmates present also wanted to cozy up to a super-rich tycoon like Lin Yi.

After all, they were classmates; if Lin Yi was in a good mood one day and let some scraps fall through his fingers, it would be enough to feed them a feast.

So, as they ate, a strange situation developed.

It was as if everyone had agreed beforehand, and they started taking turns toasting Lin Yi.

Su Ming and Li Tong were sitting on Lin Yi's left and right; one was the school beauty, and the other was the protagonist of today's birthday party, yet they were both ignored.

They had been sitting there for a long time, and not a single person had asked them for a drink.

Didn't those guys usually love to get beauties to drink? Why today...

Could Lin Yi's personal charm be so great that it worked on both men and women?

...

Gradually, Lin Yi's vision began to blur.

As the saying goes, one tiger is no match for a pack of wolves.

Even though Lin Yi had strengthened his physical fitness level, he couldn't withstand everyone taking turns toasting him.

From the beginning until now, Lin Yi had already drunk eight bottles of red wine.

One must know that red wine has a very strong kick; you might not feel much when you first drink it, but as time passes, it hits you harder.

At this moment, Lin Yi's face was a bit flushed.

"Don't bully Lin Yi anymore, I'll drink for him!"

Su Ming saw that everyone was trying to get Lin Yi drunk.

Now, in Su Ming's heart, Lin Yi was a gifted business legend.

She couldn't let everyone bully her idol like this.

Li Tong subconsciously glanced at Su Ming, feeling a bit unconvinced.

Wasn't Su Ming about to get engaged? Why was she being so good to Lin Yi right now?

"Me too! I'll drink for Lin Yi too!"

Li Tong also blocked the way in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was hers alone, and no one was allowed to take him!
