Chapter 74: The Devious One Is You
"Zhao Ying, I will buy for you whichever one you like! To be honest, yellow is better than pink!" Jin Gang laughed as he said this. Of course, he was talking about plushies.
However, this sentence turned sour in Zhao Ying's interpretation! The laughter became a lewd smile! Even though you have taken a peek at me, you are still mouthy!
"Pak"! Zhao Ying couldn't stand it anymore as she stood up and slapped Jin Gang. "...! Yang Ming, let's go!"
As she finished speaking, Zhao Ying angrily pulled at Yang Ming who was full of delight and doubt toward the tavern's exit.
The incident of a female slapping a male happened frequently in the tavern. Thus, the waiters felt it was just typical! There wasn't anyone who stopped Zhao Ying and Yang Ming. Since Jin Gang was still sitting there, they weren't afraid that no one would pay the bill.
On the other hand, Jin Gang didn't know what he had done to offend Zhao Ying. He covered his face and watched Zhao Ying and Yang Ming leave him innocently. Finally, he reacted and realized that Yang Ming hadn't paid the bill.
Damn, what was happening? Jin Gang complained deep down his heart.
He looked at the remaining dishes on the table. How much would it cost? Jin Gang subconsciously touched his wallet. This isn't good. Originally, Yang Ming was treating me for dinner, why am I paying the bill?
With this thought in mind, Jin Gang chased toward the direction of the exit. As he reached the exit, the waitress stopped him. "Sir, you haven't paid the bill!"
"Can't you see that I'm chasing down the person that was supposed to pay the bill?" Jin Gang sweated heavily as he spoke.
"Chasing another person? How do I get the bill paid if you don't return?" Of course, the waitress disagreed with Jin Gang leaving the place.
"I... am really not lying to you. The one paying the bill isn't me but the student just now!" Jin Gang argued.
Pretentious fellow... you can really act! Aren't you the one treating them? Who would believe that? Between the three of you, you are the mouthy one! Would a student pay the bill? You are bad at lies! I think most probably you failed in getting the girl. Then, you didn't want to spend the money anymore, right? The waitress was silently scorning Jin Gang.
"I don't care about your relationship with them. However, if you don't pay the bill, we will not let you leave!" The waitress said coldly.
"But I..." Jin Gang wanted to say something but he saw a few security guards approaching him! Although he was a sports teacher, he couldn't face off in a gang fight! Jin Gang said reluctantly, "Alright, I will pay. How much?"
Jin Gang could only handle what was in front of his eyes right now. He would find another opportunity to get the money from Yang Ming! It was just that Jin Gang couldn't figure out why Zhao Ying was angry!
"The total is 51,721 yuan, excluding the change, it is 51,700!" said the waitress.
"51,700 is it... What? Fifty thousand?" Jin Gang was overwhelmed. "Are you kidding me? Is there a mistake?"
"No, sir. It is actually 51,700!" The waitress said it firmly.
"It is not possible. This is a dishonest tavern! How can it be so expensive?" Jin Gang said with anger, "I have looked through what I ordered just now. Lobster and abalone are indeed expensive, but it should be only one thousand. The total for all the dishes should only be three thousand! How did you calculate the bill? Do I look like an idiot who doesn't know the price?"
As a matter of fact, fifty thousand was considered a lot of money for Jin Gang! My salary per month is only one thousand yuan. In addition to the money from my family, I only have three thousand in my pocket! He agreed to settle the bill first because he thought he had enough money after counting it in his wallet.
"Sir, this is your bill. Take a look at it yourself. You ordered a pound of sea cucumber, three lobsters, three orders of shark fin with rice, three orders of sauced abalone, a special cold dish, an order of dry bean curd, an order of tinfoil ribs, an order of braised tofu and an order of Chuanjiao Bamboo Shoots! The total is 3,721 yuan!"
"That's right, isn't it just three thousand? How can it be fifty thousand? Are you bullying your customers?" Jin Gang frowned with doubt. "Be careful that I get the consumer association to file a lawsuit!"
"Sir, please don't act emotionally. Listen to my explanation! I haven't finished yet. Those are the dishes that you ordered. In addition, you also ordered a bottle of 1982 Raphael Wine which is forty-eight thousand yuan! As such, the total amount is 51,721 yuan. It will be 51,700 after eliminating the change of twenty-one!" The waiter tried her best to maintain her smile as she spoke to Jin Gang even though she looked down on this man.
"What? A bottle of wine worth forty-eight thousand?" Jin Gang's eyes were wide open as he looked at the bill in his hand.
"That's right. The red wine from Raphael Manor is the masterwork of wine. Also, the 1982 Raphael Wine is the best of the best!" The waitress explained.
"A bottle of grape wine? Damn, it's more expensive than drugs!' Jin Gang scolded with a bitter expression. "Why didn't you tell me earlier since it is expensive?"
"Sir, that you ordered on your own. I thought you knew already!" The waitress answered helplessly.
"I knew? How could I know? If you didn't tell me, how could I know about it?" Jin Gang yelled, "What reasoning is this? You should be saying the price earlier. What you did was cheat your customer!"
"Sir, it was written on the menu. Didn't you read through the menu already?" The waitress was quite angry deep down in her heart. This man was so disgusting. No wonder the girl slapped him before. It would be strange if someone like him could get a beautiful girl as a partner!
"This..." Jin Gang didn't know how to argue back this time. It would be hard to win in court with such a dispute. "Wait, I will make a phone call!" Jin Gang decided to call Zhao Ying after a few thoughts. He wanted to see if it was possible to get Yang Ming to pay for the bill!
"Go ahead!" Thus, Jin Gang dialed Zhao Ying's phone under the waitress' watch. He never expected that after the phone rang for a while, the call was rejected. He tried again but to no avail.
Damn! Jin Gang cursed deep down in his heart. Jin Gang didn't doubt that he would be beaten up badly before being brought to the police station as he faced the glare of the security guard in front of him.
Jin Gang couldn't help but call his shady friends!
Chapter 75: Stupid Jin Gang
The call was connected and Jin Ging spoke in a hurry, "Hello? Xiao Cao? I'm Jin Gang!"
"Jin Gang, what's the matter?" Xiao Cao clearly was either in a club or disco because it was really noisy on the other end of the phone. Xiao Cao was Jin Gang's classmate, then he dropped out of school and went to look for a job. Currently, he worked for security at a brothel in front of a gym. To put it simply, he was a watchman.
"Xiao Cao, do you have fifty thousand cash on hand? Can you lend it to me?" Jin Gang said after a second thought.
"Fifty thousand? Jin Gang, why do you need so much money? How can I find you fifty thousand at this hour?" Xiao Cao was in an awkward position. Although he was a little boss, it was still difficult for him to suddenly get a hold of fifty thousand.
"Xiao Cao, please help your brother out! I'll return the money to you once the bank is open tomorrow!" Jin Gang said helplessly. He left his payroll card [1] in his house. He usually didn't take it out, otherwise, he could have swiped his card by now.
Xiao Cao hesitated, "This… ok then! I'll try to borrow from my workplace. However, you have to promise me, you need to return it to me tomorrow morning! If not, I'll be screwed for getting caught in the middle!" Xiao Cao must help out his best brother, Jin Gang!
Jin Gang was relieved and said, "No problem! Tomorrow, I'll return it to you! I'm in Tavern Heaven on Earth now. Once you get the money, you come here and look for me!"
"Tavern Heaven on Earth? Did you ask for a prostitute and can't pay for it? I hear the prostitutes there are the best. How was it? Did you feel really good?" Xiao Cao smiled lewdly.
Jin Gang was dumbfounded after he heard that, "What prostitute? Is there a prostitute that is worth five yuan? I'll explain to you once you're here. Be quick!"
"Alright, you wait for me! I'll be there immediately!" Xiao Cao finished speaking and hung up the phone.
At the moment, Jin Gang was feeling extremely uneasy. He kept thinking in his mind. Xiao Cao, please come here quickly!
He was feeling extremely uncomfortable because the waitress stared at him as if he was a thief.
After half an hour, a youth with green hair walked in. Jin Gang spotted him from afar and shouted promptly, "Xiao Cao, I'm here!"
The green haired youth, Xiao Cao, ran toward Jin Gang once he heard Jin Gang's call. "Jin Gang, what's going on?"
Jin Gang asked anxiously, "I'll explain to you later. Where's the money?"
"Right here!" Xiao Cao threw a black plastic bag on the bar beside Jin Gang, "Damn it! I even borrowed from the service ladies to get all this money!"
The waitress looked contemptuously at Jin Gang when she heard that. I see; he is a poor wretch. Don't pretend to be a rich guy just to pick up a pretty girl if you don't have the money!
Jin Gang was like seeing a life-saving straw. He opened up the black plastic bag immediately and took out five stacks of notes, then he handed them to the waitress. After that, he took out his wallet again, counted seventeen hundred yuan notes, and passed them over.
The waitress handed the money to the cashier. Once it was counted properly, she asked Jin Gang, "Do you need a receipt?" [2]
"Yes! Maybe I could still win a lottery!" said Jin Gang as he clenched his teeth.
The waitress gave him the tickets. Jin Gang and Xiao Cao started to scratch those tickets. Maybe it was because Jin Gang's personality was too bad, but out of over a hundred lottery tickets, he didn't get a single prize.
When they went left, Jin Gang was disheartened. Xiao Cao looked at him and asked, "Jin Gang, what is going on? How could one meal cost you fifty thousand yuan? Did you get conned?"
"Don't mention it. One bottle of wine cost me f***ing forty-eight thousand yuan!" Jin Gang shook his head and complained, "It's really f***king expensive. I have never seen such expensive wine!"
"What wine? Forty-eight thousand yuan? Isn't this cheating?" Xiao Cao frowned. "Do you need me to find some brothers to talk to them?"
"This is Tavern Heaven on Earth! Do you dare mess around here?" Jin Gang rolled his eyes. "The liquor was a 1982 Raphael Manor wine!"
"Raphael Manor? It's even a 1982? Damn! Brother, you really know how to enjoy!" Xiao Cao sighed and said, "Our club even sells the 1988 for forty thousand and this one isn't that expensive!" Xiao Cao was just speaking for fun. He wouldn't dare to mess with Tavern Heaven on Earth.
Jin Gang replied sourly, "What did I enjoy? You thought I was here to enjoy? Someone invited me for dinner, so I followed him!"
Xiao Cao asked, "Someone invited you? Then why were you paying the bill?"
"The incident was like this..." So, Jin Gang told everything to Xiao Cao.
Xiao Cao was in doubt. "Are you saying that the student was messing with you?"
Jin Gang said, "Yeah, but didn't I tell you that he was treating me nicely later?"
"Damn it! You were conned!" Xiao Cao scolded, "Treating you nicely? He did this intentionally from the beginning!"
Jin Gang shook his head doubtfully, "I was conned? How? Zhao Ying isn't such a person!"
"Can't you understand? It was the student who framed you!" Xiao Cao said, "You're such a grown man, but you don't have much experience in society. It was obvious that the student said something vague and made Zhao Ying misunderstand you!"
Jin Gang cursed, "F***! I told you right! I do think that this kid isn't authentic. How could a student treat someone for dinner at such a nice place?"
Xiao Cao complained, "You should have thought about that earlier! A student who goes to school with a bicycle '28', how rich could he be?"
Jin Gang blamed himself. he held his head and said, "That's right! I should blame myself for this! I'm too stupid, why I didn't think of that before?"
Xiao Cao said, "It's okay, you shouldn't blame yourself for this. Later on, I'll find two brothers to face that little kid! No matter how I will make him pay for it!"
"Okay! Let's do this! Today is still the weekend. Let's do it on Monday night! You come to my school and we will face him together!" Jin Gang nodded! Yang Ming, you dared to frame me! I will make you die this time! Jin Gang didn't dare to show his face last time, but this time, he decided to fight with Yang Ming openly! If anything went wrong, his uncle could still help him!
