Chapter 45 It Was My Treat

“Jane, it's none of your business.” In order not to make her worry about him, Josh smiled at her. Then he looked up at Huihui. “Huihui, what you know might not be the truth, for the sake of Jane, I won't bother with you this time, but remember, looking down at somebody will only bring you bad luck.” Josh said in a cold voice. After saying those words, Josh directly turned around and returned to his seat. “Hum, I don’t need you to lecture me! Such a poor guy, you are like a toad that tries to swallow a swan!” Huihui looked at him with great disdain. After Josh sat back in his seat, Fatty looked guilty and said: “Brother, I'm really sorry, I wanted to say a few words for you, but I messed up instead.” “It's okay, it's not your fault.” Josh patted his shoulder. “Brother, it's really infuriating! These people dare to talk to you like that and look down on you, why don't you just reveal your identity as the Chairman of Huading Group to scare them to death!” Fatty was angry about what happened to Josh. Josh then shook his head: “If I tell them now that I'm the Chairman of the Huading Group, will they believe me? I'm afraid I'll just get more ridicules and only be told that I'm bragging about myself.” Josh had never shown his identity in class. Tiger knew Josh’s identity the last time when Josh punished him, but he had already transferred to another school and he didn't tell anyone in his class about it. In fact, Fatty had wanted Josh to reveal his identity to the classmates a long time ago, so that no one would dare to look down on him, but Josh had never done that. “That's right, you are really very thoughtful.” Fatty nodded his head, being completely aware of the reason why Josh didn't do that. “However, I’ve decided to stop keeping such a low profile.Just as a saying goes: If the tiger doesn't roar, they will continue to think I'm an ill cat.” Josh said with narrowed eyes. What had just happened made Josh be a little angry and realize that being too low-key wouldn't do any good! Fatty nodded repeatedly: “Yes, indeed! You shouldn't be so low-key, boss, just use your identity to scare these people who despise you to death!” ...... In the afternoon, before the school was over, the counselor came to the classroom and informed them that everyone should go to a dinner party to promote class friendship now that the Youth Day was coming up. Since the counselor didn't have time to go, she asked the monitor of the class, Jane to be in charge of this thing. ...... It was half past five in the afternoon, and all the students in the class were gathered at the school gate. “Guys, which restaurant do you choose to have dinner at? Let’s have a vote.” Jane asked as the monitor of the class. “What about Jiujiu Buffet Restaurant? The price is affordable and the dishes are plentiful there.” Huihui said. Many students in the class agreed with her as soon as she finished her words. “Indeed! Jiujiu Buffet Restaurant is good!” “The point is its affordable price, which is 59 dollars per person.” ...... Everyone had to pay for themselves when they went out to have this kind of dinner party, therefore, they needed to consider their own money, and naturally they chose this kind of more affordable place, in which the price was also suitable for college students. After seeing so many people agree with her, Jane said: “Okay, then let's go to Jiujiu Buffet Restaurant.” However, just at this moment, someone started to talk with negative attitude. “Jiujiu Buffet Restaurant? It's too low-grade!” After hearing the words, everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Josh who talked. Jane also looked at Josh in confusion, wondering why Josh would suddenly say that. “Josh, what did you say? How dare you say that Jiujiu Buffet Restaurant is too low-grade?” Huihui sneered. Many students in the class also covered their mouths and laughed, thinking that a poor guy should say that Jiujiu Buffet Restaurant was too low-grade? “Isn't it? A place that costs 59 dollars per person is too low-grade for me.” Josh said calmly. “Puff!” Everyone just burst out laughing after hearing the words. “Josh, you are really shameless! It should be you who are too low-grade to be worthy of a place like Jiujiu Buffet Restaurant!” Huihui sneered. A man with dyed red hair also spoke: “Josh, now that you say Jiujiu Buffet Restaurant is too low-grade, then tell me, which restaurant do you think we should go for a dinner party to deserve you?” This redhead had been Tiger's understrapper. “Not to mention those five-star hotels, if we choose a place near the school, at least it should be Shengyan Restaurant.”Josh said indifferently. “Shengyan Restaurant? Haha!” The students present laughed again. “Boy, have you ever been to Shengyan Restaurant? I've been there with Tiger. Do you know how much it costs there?” The redhead smiled and said. “Of course I know, that’s your own business if you can't afford the price there.” Josh said calmly. “You ...... you're just fucking bragging about yourself, as if you can really afford the price there. I'm at least much better than you.” The redhead’s expression was quite sullen. At that time, Huihui smiled and said: “Josh, didn't you propose to go to Shengyan Restaurant for dinner? Well then, how about treating us to have a dinner party in there?” “No problem, I'll pay for the cost of the dinner party.” Josh replied calmly. Huihui was startled when she heard Josh's words, because she had thought that Josh wouldn't dare to agree and then she could have continued to laugh at him. But he turned out to agree her request? “OK! You have said that! Everyone, why don't we go to Shengyan Restaurant today for a dinner party? As for the cost of the meal, Josh will pay for us and all we need to do is just eat! If he can't afford it in the end, that also would be his own business.” Huihui said loudly. She was ready to take this chance to make Josh pay the price. In her heart, she thought: Aren’t you pretending to be rich and bragging about yourself? When it’s time to pay the bill, let's see what you will do if you can't pay for it. “Good, good!” Everyone agreed with her. As long as they weren't asked to pay for the bill, they were certainly willing to go to such an upscale place to have the dinner party. “Let’s go, guys!” Huihui took the lead to head in the direction of Shengyan Restaurant. “Huihui!” Jane stopped her. “Huihui, you've gone too far! Josh is also your classmate, how can you deliberately do this to him!” Jane pouted, looking very angry. Jane had a good temperament, and she never fought with anyone. Besides, she and Huihui were also originally considered friends. But she felt quite angry that Huihui targeted Josh like that. “Jane, you even speak for him? Can't you see that he's just a poor guy who can only brag about himself? I think you've just been too deeply deceived by him, and I, as a friend, must help you see who he really is today.” Huihui said with a righteous look. After saying that, Huihui continued to walk towards Shengyan Restaurant and her classmates also followed her. Then Josh walked up to Jane. “Jane, I'm so sorry for ruining your friendship with Huihui because of me.” He said. “I should be the one to say sorry, it's because of me that you're being ridiculed and targeted by them.” Jane looked very guilty. Jane was really angry when she saw her classmates making fun of Josh like that before, but she didn't know how to help him. “Jane, are you feeling sorry for me?”Josh said with a smile. Then her face turned red and she said: “Of course not! we're friends, so I don't want to see you being ridiculed and targeted by them.” “Monitor, I think you and Josh look more and more like lovers instead of friends.” Fatty laughed. Jane’s face became even more red after hearing the words. Josh also coughed awkwardly. “Fatty, don't talk nonsense.” “Fine, fine, I won't say anything, but I'm quite looking forward to what will happen next. When we arrive at Shengyan Restaurant later, I'm sure they'll be quite shocked and no one will dare to laugh at you anymore!” Fatty said happily. Fatty knew that Josh was actually the owner of Shengyan Restaurant now. And he felt that after they endured those classmates for so long, now there finally was a chance to show them Josh’s power and identity. “It's time to show them something about me, or else they'll really think I'm an ill cat.” Josh smiled and said. But Jane was a little worried: “Josh, the cost of the dishes is quite high in Shengyan Restaurant, even if you win a lottery ticket worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, you can't spend your money like that.” Jane did not know that Josh was the owner of Shengyan Restaurant. “It's okay, let's go.” Josh said with a smile. ...... Shengyan Restaurant was just over a thousand meters away from the school, so everyone walked directly to the entrance of it. “How luxurious the decoration of it is! It indeed is the best restaurant near our school!” “After two years of studying at Qingyang University, this is the first time for me to have dinner at Shengyan Restaurant.” ...... Looking at the gate of Shengyan Restaurant, many students praised it. Then Huihui turned her head to look at Josh and said: “Josh, let me confirm to you once again, it's your treat today, right? If you can't afford the price, the consequences are on you alone, right?” “Yes!” Josh smiled calmly. “Okay, that’s just what I want to hear. Guys, let's go!” Huihui headed straight into the Shengyan Restaurant, and other people in the class followed her. Josh looked at Shengyan Restaurant with a smile on his face and then said: “Fatty, Jane, come on, let's go!” Then Josh strode towards Shengyan Restaurant ......
