The Poorest Rich Man (Chen Hao) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 A Meal That Cost Over 300,000

Even Zhuang Qiang, who was of such high status, had to continuously call his father to connect with someone on the inside, and only then were they let in by the guards and allowed access into the villa.

Despite that, they were only allowed access to the villa outer compound.

“Damn! If they really snuck in, that would be so embarrassing!”

“Embarrassing would be the least of our concerns. If the guards find out that they know us, wouldn't we get chased out as well?”

The group of ladies stared at Chen Hao distastefully. At the same time, they muttered in panic.

“Yang Hui, how did you all enter this place?”

Xu Xia kept silent.

She walked over toward Yang Hui and quietly asked.

It seemed like she was concerned for Yang Hui.

“We came in from the front entrance!” Chen Hao explained.

Yang Hui also nodded while looking at Xu Xia.

“Haha, front entrance? Do you think the guards are that blind?”

Lin Jiao, who had been flirtatious all this while, snapped at Chen Hao.

She swore to god that if she was chased out due to Chen Hao, she would slap him ten times!

Viciously!

Zhao Yifan also knew the severe consequences of sneaking in.

She stopped in front of Chen Hao and solemnly said, “Chen Hao, I hope you can tell us the truth. If you really snuck in just for the sake of your pride, I can let Zhuang Qiang know in advance. Who knows, maybe he can think of a way to help you!”

“Yes. That way things wont go out of hand!”

Zhuang Qiang agreed with Zhao Yifan.

He thought, Zhao Yifan’s group of friends were a bunch of weirdos.

“Um…”

Chen Hao listened to them ramble on and on.

He was really speechless.

I walked in from the front entrance, so what other truths do they want?

In order to satisfy them, do I have to tell them that I climbed in from a doghole?

“I am telling the truth. If you all are willing to, we can always hang out and have fun inside the villa. We could have a meal and experience the hot springs!”

The only reason Chen Hao said this was due to Ma Xiaonan.

In reality, Ma Xiaonan, who was next to him, was feeling anxious.

She was afraid that Chen Hao would get into trouble.

However, his good intentions were not appreciated. Instead, the group of people looked at Chen Hao as if he was an idiot.

“What did you say? You still want to enter the inner section of the villa? Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Someone like you? Can't you see the guards who are standing there?”

Lin Jiao furiously reproached.

“Exactly. Even Zhuang Qing could not bring so many of us inside. What makes you think that you can?”

The group of girls chided.

“Haha, there are fourteen of us. Ignoring the cost of the meal, just by soaking in the hot springs would cost more than 150,000. If you were to include the cost of the meal, that would at least be in the range of 200,000 to 300,000! If there were fewer of us, I could still work something out. However, with so many of us, it would also be very tight on my budget!”

Zhuang Qiang threw a bitter smile at Chen Hao.

Zhao Yifan was very touched as Zhuang Qiang was so kind toward them.

At the same time, she got even more speechless at Chen Hao.

“It's okay. Why dont we come again in the future? Let’s leave in order to avoid this awkward situation!”

“No way! Why should we leave because of this loser!”

“Exactly! Zhao Yifan, we rarely have such opportunities to come in and visit!”

All of a sudden, everyone’s gaze was on Chen Hao. They all stared angrily at him.

That was exactly the effect Zhao Yifan wanted.

She wanted to force Chen Hao to leave.

Chen Hao bitterly smiled and shook his head. “If you are willing to follow me in, then by all means!”

He looked at Ma Xiaonan and said, “Xiaonan, do you believe me? If you believe me, then come along with me!”

Ma Xiaonan gritted her teeth and ultimately nodded.

Chen Hao then brought the few of them to cross the bridge and walked toward the inner section.

“Haha, wait for them to get punished! If anything happens later, they’d better not drag us into it. Such an embarrassment!”

Lin Jiao looked on, speechless.

“This guy sure knows how to joke around!”

Zhuang Qiang simply stood there and enjoyed the show as well.

However, what happened next blew their mind.

Wherever Chen Hao went, he could come and go as he wished.

The group of guards even bowed when they saw Chen Hao.

“What is going on?” Zhuang Qiang was in disbelief.

Lin Jiao’s mouth fell wide open and she had to cover it with her hands.

She thought that Chen Hao would get beaten up and she had been secretly delighted about it.

Yet, he was able to walk in casually.

The group of ladies had confused looks on their faces.

Even more so for Zhao Yifan. If she had not seen this with her own eyes, she would not have believed it.

In her eyes, Chen Hao was always the poor loser that was to be looked down on.

She knew that Xiaonan had the intention of helping them build a closer relationship.

However, from the day of the bag incident until now, Zhao Yifan had felt that he was an ultimate loser.

She was fed up with him whenever they met.

Yet now, he could roam freely at Hot Springs Villa.

Even Zhuang Qiang did not have the authority to bring so many people into the villa.

“Yifan, what do we do now?”

Lin Jiao stared at Chen Hao’s distancing shadow and she was not willing to accept the situation that had just unfolded.

Zhao Yifan glanced at Zhuang Qiang and Li Hao, who were next to her. She had a questioning look on her face.

Zhuang Qiang’s father could pressure Li Feihong from the Imperial KTV to bow down and submit to them. Hence, if his father was willing to help, this wouldn't be a problem as well!

Zhuang Qiang’s expression changed.

It could be said that Chen Hao just slapped their faces and made a joke out of them.

If Zhuang Qiang followed Chen Hao right now, he would definitely be treated as a joke!

What should I do?

I will call my father again!

I don't want to be made fun of in front of Zhao Yifan.

Thus, he took out his phone and called his father and narrated the situation.

Zhuang Qiang’s father was also someone who prioritized reputation. Upon hearing that his son had been made fun of through monetary means, he could not stand it.

He immediately promised that he would fund Zhuang Qiang another 100,000 in order to gain his reputation back.

Although it was a huge sum of money, it was a matter of their reputation!

“Whatever, nothing special about that. Yifan, let's go inside as well. I will bring everyone into the inner section of Hot Springs Villa!”

Zhuang Qiang squeezed the words out of his mouth.

“Great! Zhuang Qiang is so cool! Yes, we cannot be put down by the poor dude and be made fun of!”

Lin Jiao and the others started cheering.

Each person’s entrance fee already cost around 10,000, excluding the hot springs, dining service and other entertainment options like golf.

The eight of them spent 80,000 just like that.

“So what if they were inside? They would merely be passersby here. On the other hand, I would still be able to treat you all to a game of bowling!”

Zhuang Qiang threw a glance at Li Hao. They also lost their cool and spent the 80,000.

Worst come to worst, they would spend all 150,000!

Bowling should be the cheapest activity in the villa. At least it was cheaper than having a meal!

Everyone followed Zhuang Qiang inside.

The inner section was really worlds apart compared to the outer section. It was like visiting a completely different planet.

No wonder all the rich businessmen from out of town treated the Hot Springs Resort like heaven. It really felt and looked like heaven.

Zhao Yifan was still in shock.

Being mocked by Chen Hao left a lasting effect and it had only subsided a little

“Ah! Take a look there! What do you all see?”

At this moment, Lin Jiao, who was touching up her makeup in order to take a selfie, spotted a loft. The loft was elegant and it was located right on top of the most beautiful Hot Spring waterfall.

There were people having a meal inside.

The surrounding water started to turn into mist and slowly rose. There was even a rainbow in the background.

From the eyes of the people above, it looked as if they were dining on top of the clouds.

It was such a beautiful sight.

Zhao Yifan also noticed how beautiful it was. She wished that she was the one having a meal up there. That way, she would be the centre of attention and everyone would be envious of her.

“That’s Ru Wei cafe!”

Zhuang Qiang also could not help but be envious about it.

“Brother Qiang, what is Ru Wei Cafe? It doesn't sound special at all? Is it very expensive?”

Lin Jiao and the group of girls asked.

“Doesn't sound special? Very expensive? It is more than just expensive! Putting the cost of the meal aside, do you know how much it cost just to enter Ru Wei Cafe? It costs 300,000!”

Upon hearing that, everyone was shocked.

Entering this place alone cost 300,000?

Oh my god!

Zhuang Qiang knew more than that. He said, “Not only do you have to be rich, you would also have to be of a certain status before being allowed to enter. Therefore, people who are allowed to dine in there must be wealthy businessmen. Huge business tycoons would utilize that area in order to have a meal together.”

Zhao Yifan was devastated.

“Hey, that's not right! Yifan and Zhuang Qiang, take a look at the people dining there! Why does it look like Chen Hao and his dorm mates?”

Lin Jiao stared for a long while and finally saw what was out of place.

Xu Xia who was beside her also nodded. “Yes, I saw Yang Hui as well!”

Zhao Yifan’s heart sank. She followed Zhuang Qiang, Li Hao and the others to get a closer look.

They could make out the silhouette of Chen Hao and the others.

“Impossible!”

Zhao Yifan could not believe it. How could this poor dude be in there?

Absolutely impossible!

Ring—

Just then, Zhao Yifan’s phone rang.

Ma Xiaonan was the one who called.

“Yifan, why did you all take so long? The food has been served already. I can spot all of you, come on up! The view up here is breathtaking!”

As she was talking over the phone, Zhao Yifan could see her waving from the loft. She was signalling for them to go up!

“My god. It really is Chen Hao, Xiaonan and the others… how…”

Lin Jiao gulped. This was so unreal!

Zhuang Qiang and Li Hao turned purple. Their faces have been thrown out of the window today!

“Yifan, let’s go. Let's go up now!”

Lin Jiao could not wait to head up. Most importantly, the rest of the rich and famous visitors in the villa were staring at them in envy.

Their narcissistic needs were fulfilled and she felt inflated.

Zhao Yifan bit on her lips. “Alright! Let's go up!”

She had to find out what was going on with Chen Hao! Otherwise, she would not be able to sleep well from today onward.

Li Hao, on the other hand, looked nervously at Zhuang Qiang. He said, “Zhuang Qiang, this poor dude is actually so powerful. I think we should make a move. Let's not try to court his friends anymore.”

Li Hao was already afraid.

Zhuang Qiang snorted. “Damn! What are you afraid of! I don’t believe he is this powerful! Let's go up and check out the situation!”
