30: Chapter 30 Playing Hard to Get? I can do that too!

"There are girls here, be careful what you say!"

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Lan beside Yang Fan. Good heavens, she was so pretty; did he even need him to introduce a girl to him?

"Who is this beside you?"

"My personal assistant."

From now on, Jiang Lan would be his personal assistant. As for running the company or anything else, he could just hire someone else later.

Bai Jingtian glanced at Yang Fan. His own father ran a company with annual profits in the tens of millions, yet he didn't even have a personal assistant.

And you've already got a personal assistant?

Bai Jingtian stepped forward and whispered in Yang Fan's ear:

"Don't go blowing your money just because you have a little bit. Can your finances even handle that!"

Bai Jingtian was only reminding him because he knew Yang Fan's family situation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said a word—it wouldn't have been any of his business.

He had his father to back him up, but Yang Fan didn't!

Yang Fan patted Bai Jingtian.

"Don't worry, I've been mining gold lately and have made quite a bit."

Bai Jingtian was full of question marks. Did the country even allow private mining?

"Fine, as long as you know what you're doing."

"Let me introduce you. Both of them are from the Shanghai Theatre Academy and haven't graduated yet—they're both sophomores."

"This is Ning Xintong."

Bai Jingtian pointed to a girl with pink hair who looked like a porcelain doll. Apart from her cup size not even reaching an A, everything else was fine.

"And this is He Mengyu."

She was dressed rather stylishly in a blue shirt with two buttons undone, paired with high-waisted jeans tucked in. With her long, flowing hair and long legs, she was definitely over 170cm tall.

She didn't quite look like a sophomore.

Then, Bai Jingtian introduced Yang Fan to the two of them.

"This is my good buddy from college, a beast who can work 24 hours a day for days on end. The person beside him is his personal assistant."

After the introductions, everyone sat down, and they were officially acquainted.

However, the two girls looked at Yang Fan, then at the watch on Jiang Lan's wrist, the bag she was carrying, and her stunning looks, and were a bit confused.

Can an assistant really afford such a high standard of living?

They usually studied luxury goods when they had free time.

So, they could tell at a glance whether someone had money. Being able to hang out with Bai Jingtian meant the guy naturally had plenty of designer brands on him, and he was generous when spending money on women.

They hadn't expected his buddy to be even more impressive—his assistant was wearing a watch worth hundreds of thousands. Their relationship was clearly not normal.

Moreover, they firmly believed that only those who were materially deprived would buy luxury goods to show off; truly wealthy people wouldn't bother wearing such things.

Yang Fan looked at the table and saw there wasn't a single dish. He spoke up:

"Hmm?"

"You guys didn't order?"

"We ordered a few, but we were waiting for you. You order some more, and I'll have them bring everything out together."

Bai Jingtian pushed the menu to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan took it and looked. It wasn't in Chinese, so he had Jiang Lan translate for him while he ordered.

Finally, he even ordered two bottles of 2000 vintage Lafite.

Bai Jingtian watched from the side, stunned. He wanted to interrupt Yang Fan's ordering several times, but when he saw Yang Fan order two bottles of 8,500 RMB Lafite, he was rendered speechless.

My good brother, we don't even know how things will go with these two today, and you've just ordered a 20,000 RMB feast! Bai Jingtian just clutched his forehead.

Yang Fan handed the menu to the waiter.

"That's all, bring the food out!"

Watching the waiter walk away, Bai Jingtian's heart was bleeding. 20,000 could have been used to go on dates with...

Bai Jingtian screamed in his heart: Yang Fan, you wasteful brat.

He leaned over and whispered in Yang Fan's ear:

"Good lad, I haven't seen you in months, and you're already trying to bleed your brother dry the moment we meet!"

"I'm just hitting up a rich guy. It's fine, didn't I just pay you back? It's enough, it's enough!"

Yang Fan pushed him away; he wouldn't need him to pay anyway.

Although Jiang Lan also felt the items ordered were quite expensive, she knew Yang Fan was very rich, so she didn't try to dissuade him—after all, her position didn't allow for it.

Bai Jingtian felt helpless, feeling that Yang Fan didn't treat money like money anymore. This guy was dangerous.

"Yang Fan, you ordered two bottles of wine—you don't want us to go back to school today, do you!"

He Mengyu teased with a smile.

"You're all going to be big stars in the future. If two bottles take you down, that would be laughable!"

"Drink up today, Young Master Bai is treating, don't be polite!"

Yang Fan was also hyping him up. Although it wouldn't be useful for him to take it away today, he could let his brother take it.

Bai Jingtian's mouth twitched on the side, and he didn't say anything. Very good, very good indeed!

"Yang Fan, you really know how to talk. I hope your words come true!"

"You're also very handsome and have the potential to be a star!"

He Mengyu smiled. This guy Yang Fan was better at talking than Bai Jingtian!

Bai Jingtian wasn't having it after hearing He Mengyu's words.

"Him?"

"A star?"

"Is he one of those male stars I see in Japan?"

Yang Fan kicked him under the table. What was wrong with this guy, why was he making such reckless jokes?

The three girls were all confused, not understanding what Bai Jingtian meant.

"Ahem, that won't be necessary. They can't afford my salary."

Although the entertainment industry paid well, it was still not enough for him.

He Mengyu and Ning Xintong exchanged glances. Could this be the real big shot?

Although they had known Bai Jingtian for a while, he was just a beginner rich kid who couldn't provide them with resources or promote them.

That was why they only came out for meals; if he asked them to go anywhere else, they wouldn't go.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have come together and would have just gone on a date with Bai Jingtian alone.

On the other hand, Bai Jingtian watched Yang Fan. He hadn't seen him in months; how had he become so natural at bragging?

While they were chatting, the wine and dishes were served one after another.

The waiter poured wine for everyone.

He Mengyu stood up proactively:

"Yang Fan, nice to meet you, a toast to you."

Ning Xintong also stood up to toast Yang Fan.

Yang Fan clinked glasses with them. As for Jiang Lan, she didn't drink, as she had to drive later.

Bai Jingtian was stunned and pointed at himself. He was roaring internally: I'm the one here, I'm the one treating you to dinner, who are you toasting?

What is wrong with society today? Is bragging while picking up girls the top priority now!!

When they were three rounds into the drinks, Yang Fan told Jiang Lan to go pay the bill.

He could see that the two young ladies in front of them had clear goals; they weren't the type of people that someone like Bai Jingtian could handle.

Both of them had an outrageously good tolerance for alcohol; one look told him they drank often.

Yang Fan had ordered three bottles in total, but he gave up. After all, if the two of them couldn't drink anymore, and they kept drinking, they would be the ones to fall first.

The two of them usually liked fitness and were keen on working part-time to make money; being able to drink this much was already a bit of a stretch.

"Waiter, bill!"

Bai Jingtian shouted. He was already slurring his words. He had suffered for being too honest; he had tried to pick up people way out of his league, the kind he couldn't handle.

"Sir, your bill has already been paid."

The waiter stepped forward and said.

Yang Fan helped him up. Could having big muscles affect one's intelligence?

"I've already paid, let's go, I'll take you back."

"How could I let you pay? You came to Shanghai, I should be the one playing the host."

Yang Fan ignored him and said to the two girls:

"Goodbye you two, let's meet again when we have time."

The two of them quickly grabbed Yang Fan.

"Let's add each other on Green Bubble, we'll treat you to a meal next time!"

Yang Fan smiled. Playing hard to get? He could do that too!
