Chapter 1051 — Still Fleecing Him

"Yes — give us a private room!" Wu Chengtian nodded and said.
"Sir, the four of you have come for morning tea, haven't you? Why not take a booth? The private rooms carry a minimum charge, and the booths are very quiet at this hour — there's no one..." the waiter kindly reminded him.
After all, it was late morning, and the people who came to a hotel at this hour generally came for morning tea; however dear a morning tea might run, it hardly came to much, certainly not tens of thousands in one sitting — nowhere near the minimum charge for a private room!
At those words, Wu Chengtian frowned. He had gone to such trouble to treat Sun Jingyan to a meal precisely so he could show off, and now a single sentence from the waiter made him feel he was being looked down on!
Who did they take him for? The legitimate grandson of the distinguished Wu family — as if he could possibly care about some minimum charge? And in his present station he was one of Songshan City's "big bosses"; a single meal was well within his means!
"How much is the minimum charge?" Wu Chengtian asked with a frown, a little impatient.
The waiters here were the sort who knew how to read a face. Hearing Wu Chengtian ask that, she knew he was somewhat put out — that this gentleman did not care about any minimum charge, that this gentleman had money! But the doorman had told her earlier that these people had arrived in an Audi A4L. How much did an Audi A4L cost, after all? Even if they were rich, could they really put away tens of thousands in a single meal?
At that thought, the waiter could no longer be sure of Wu Chengtian's spending bracket. The private rooms here had their grades, too. Name too high a figure and she feared he could not afford it and, losing face, would fly into a rage; name too low a one and she feared he would take the cheapness as an insult.
"Brother Chengtian is a big boss — even his business cards are made of gold. Would he care about a little minimum charge?" Feng Xiaoxiao spoke up. "Today, Brother Chengtian's car got smashed, and the man paid him five million. He didn't so much as glance at it — he just handed the money straight to me! And you would question whether a man of that caliber can afford a minimum charge?"
Wu Chengtian glanced at Feng Xiaoxiao. The little girl really did know how to win him face! Good — it seemed the five million had not been wasted. If she could build up his image in front of Sun Jingyan today and let him carry the beauty home, the money would not have been spent in vain!
"Ah?" The waiter was stunned for a moment at Feng Xiaoxiao's words. So the reason they had come in an Audi A4L was that the car had been smashed! What kind of car got smashed and fetched five million in compensation? That had to be a Bentley or a Rolls-Royce at the very least, surely?
And the man did not even care about that compensation money — he had simply handed it off to the person beside him without a second thought. So just how rich must he be himself! Business cards made of gold? Gold had risen to over three hundred yuan a gram now; a card had to weigh two or three grams at least, which put the cost at over a thousand yuan apiece! And those were cards he handed out?
If an ordinary person got hold of one of those cards, wouldn't he have struck it rich? It seemed the people Wu Chengtian dealt with were all big shots as well — otherwise wouldn't those cards be snatched up like mad?
A rich man — an absolutely rich man!
Once the waiter had reasoned all this through, she hurriedly said, "Sir, the most luxurious private room here is the Crystal Palace on the top floor. It happens to be free just now, but the minimum charge is five hundred thousand yuan..."
