The surprise of receiving ten million didn't last long for Su Jiu. Although he was just a young man not yet twenty, Su Jiu's nature was inherently indifferent, so he naturally didn't have too many thoughts about it.
Ten million, one million, for Su Jiu, as long as the money was enough, that was fine.
After depositing the money in the bank, Su Jiu walked out of the bank under the envious and surprised gaze of the teller.
He returned to school.
The dormitory was as lively as ever. After the incident, Chen Jie had also returned to his usual self.
"Third Brother, you're back now? Have you eaten?" As soon as Su Jiu entered the door, he spoke. It was dinner time, and the few brothers in the dormitory were all together, not in the cafeteria, as if they were all waiting for Su Jiu.
"Hey! Why didn't you guys go to the cafeteria? This isn't right, is it?" Su Jiu was a bit surprised. Although he had a good relationship with the brothers in the dormitory, it wasn't good enough for them to wait for him to go to the cafeteria together.
After all, the university cafeteria wasn't a good place. If you went late, you might not even get leftovers.
"Today, the boss is treating us, we're going out for a big meal, just waiting for Third Brother." Chen Jie explained.
"The boss is treating us?" Su Jiu looked at Xiao Fan, who was sitting on the bed, with a puzzled expression.
"Yep, Third Brother, don't go to evening study today. Take a leave. Tonight, we brothers will have a good gathering." Xiao Fan said with a smile.
"Take another leave?" Su Jiu nodded, indicating he understood, but in his heart, he muttered that he had taken so many leaves since the start of the semester three months ago. Fortunately, university life was relatively free, with fewer restrictions, so Su Jiu didn't mind too much.
"Third Brother, tonight, let's eat to our heart's content and make the boss go broke." Chen Jie joked. Since returning from Chen Village, Chen Jie's relationship with Su Jiu had become even better.
"Today is the boss's birthday. We're all planning to treat the boss to a big meal, and we've been waiting for you. Now that you're back, let's go. We'll head to the city center, find a high-end restaurant, and after dinner, we'll go singing." Zhao Ren, the second brother, added.
Hearing this, Su Jiu was taken aback. He hadn't expected today to be the boss's birthday.
"Happy birthday, Boss!" Su Jiu congratulated him.
"Thanks. Since Third Brother is back, let's go!"
"Let's go, GOGOGO!"
"Boss, how much money did you bring today? Let me see, so we can choose a place!"
"Don't worry, you won't make me go broke."
"..."
Su Jiu walked behind, watching the lively chatter, suddenly feeling a bit out of place. He was also eighteen, the same age as them, but he couldn't relax and blend in with them.
...
The Yangtze Hotel was one of the higher-end hotels in Xiang City, known for its seafood dishes.
Su Jiu and the others followed Xiao Fan out of the car. Looking at Xiao Fan's calm face, it was clear that his family's situation was good. A meal at such a hotel would easily cost over a thousand, and with some drinks or special dishes, it could easily reach several thousand.
"Boss, should we change places?" Chen Jie asked. He knew the consumption here. Although he had joked about treating the boss, he was reluctant to spend so much, after all, they were all brothers.
"It's fine, I have the money." Xiao Fan laughed and led everyone inside.
"Boss and Second Brother's families are both well-off, only the youngest brother's family is a bit worse." Su Jiu observed quietly, muttering to himself, then shook his head.
"Reading people's expressions, it's become a habit." Su Jiu couldn't help but laugh.
Thinking about it, he decided not to worry too much today. He was still a student, and other things could be dealt with later.
With this thought, Su Jiu relaxed and quickened his pace to catch up.
"Welcome!"
Inside the Yangtze Hotel, a supervisor greeted them. In a typical star-rated hotel, no matter who came in, as long as they were customers, there would be no discrimination.
"Sir, how many people? Do you have a reservation?"
"Four, no, get us a private room."
Xiao Fan answered confidently, clearly a regular at such places.
Chen Jie, who followed behind, looked around curiously, clearly a first-timer.
Following the supervisor, they entered a private room. The room was quite large, with sofas and a TV, almost like a hotel room.
"Boss, are we really eating here?" Chen Jie tugged at Xiao Fan's clothes and whispered. A meal here was clearly not cheap.
"Relax, Youngest Brother, you don't know what Boss's family does. To put it bluntly, Boss is a rich second generation. Don't worry about money." Su Jiu laughed and said.
Chen Jie believed Su Jiu. After thinking about it, he didn't say anything. Even if the boss was short on money, there was still Third Brother, and Chen Jie knew that Third Brother wasn't short on money.
"Third Brother, how do you know about my situation? I don't remember telling you." Su Jiu's words immediately drew everyone's attention.
Xiao Fan looked at Su Jiu with a puzzled expression. Indeed, since entering school, Xiao Fan had been very low-key. He was a rich second generation, but he was afraid that this would make his roommates look down on him or distance themselves from him, so he never mentioned it.
Until now, Xiao Fan believed that the brothers in the dormitory wouldn't mind his background, so he decided to use his birthday as an opportunity to reveal his true identity.
Similarly, Zhao Ren's family was also well-off.
"Su Jiu just smiled and didn't say anything."
After everyone sat down, Xiao Fan began to speak.
"Today, I'm treating the brothers to a meal. There's nothing else. We're all brothers in the same dormitory, and we'll be spending four years together. I didn't mean to hide anything from you. My family does have some money, just as Third Brother said, I'm a rich second generation. Of course, I'm still your good brother..."
Xiao Fan spoke calmly, and his tone didn't cause any resentment.
After Xiao Fan finished, Zhao Ren also spoke.
"My family's situation..."
Zhao Ren was a second-generation official, but not in Xiang City. After this, Su Jiu understood that today was the day the brothers revealed their backgrounds.
Su Jiu wasn't worried or hesitant; instead, he was even happier.
After all, being able to reach this point was enough to prove that they were brothers.
Su Jiu didn't hide anything.
When everyone learned that Su Jiu came from a feng shui family, only Chen Jie was prepared, while the boss and the second brother were both surprised.
"Third Brother, quick, give us a palm reading, see when we'll have good luck with love..." This was the boss's first reaction after hearing about Su Jiu.
Amidst the laughter and playfulness, the celebration for Xiao Fan's birthday came to an end.
PS: This isn't filler... Gentlemen, there's a foreshadowing here. If you can guess it, I'll be impressed... No more talk, I saw the recommendations today, and I'm still asking for them, all kinds of requests... Rolling and begging for them!!!
