Chapter 5
1412 Words
Faced with Lynn's fierce outburst, a few girls from the music department immediately shrank into the corner, completely frightened. They all looked at Tiger. Lola, who had been clinging to Tiger's arm earlier, was now pale with fear. She pointed at Tiger lying on the ground and said, "It was Tiger who said he'd treat us to dinner!"
"Yes, yes, it was Tiger!" The other girls echoed.
Lynn turned to look at Tiger on the ground. "Three hundred thousand! Cash or card?"
Upon hearing this, the bloodied Tiger felt his mind go blank. Although he knew dining at a Michelin three-star restaurant would be expensive and had prepared fifty thousand, then borrowed another thirty thousand from friends, he never expected that the complimentary dishes would also be charged, meaning that the bill now totaled three hundred thousand.
Even after splitting the bill with Ryan, he would still need to pay one hundred and fifity thousand, far beyond his financial capability. Thinking of Ryan, Tiger immediately looked around and questioned Wayne, "Where did Ryan go?"
Wayne was also puzzled. Ryan had gone to the bathroom; why was he taking so long? Had he skipped out on the bill?
"I wanted to ask you the same thing!" Lynn was even angrier upon hearing Ryan's name.
"Boss, please calm down. Here's the situation: today's meal was supposed to be split between Ryan and me. He skipped out on the bill, so I can't pay."
"Then pay your half first!"
"I... I only have eighty thousand with me now. Can you give me one or two days for the remaining seventy thousand?" Tiger asked fearfully.
"No! Pay up or I'll chop off your hand to cover the debt!" Lynn said fiercely. It was clear that as a woman running a high-end restaurant, where no one dared to cause trouble, she must have some underworld connections.
"No, no, I'll raise the money immediately!" Tiger frantically called everyone he knew but couldn't borrow any more money.
Desperate, he turned to Lola and the others for help. Lola angrily threw five hundred dollars at him, hitting his head with great force, "I thought you were a rich heir, but you're just another pauper. Here's five hundred, don't contact us again." In the end, the seven music department girls couldn't even gather five thousand dollars.
With no other options, Tiger had to pawn off his newly bought Porsche to Lynn.
After seeing him pawn off the Porsche, I walked into the private room with three hundred thousand dollars, pretending to be confused. "Mr. Woods, what happened to you?"
"Ryan..." Tiger was stunned for a moment, then looked at me with barely contained rage. "You're just in time. I've paid one hundred and fifty thousand. Now it's your turn! If you can't afford it, you'd better start begging!" Clearly, Tiger wanted to regain face by humiliating me.
But to everyone's shock, Lynn panicked as soon as she saw me. "No, no, Mr. Woodland, how could I take your money?"
"What? Mr. Woodland? What's going on? How could you call Ryan, this penny-less loser, Mr. Woodland?" Lola and the others’ eyes widened in shock. Tiger couldn't believe it either, and Wayne felt like he was hallucinating.
I smiled at Lynn, "How can a man eat without paying?"
Then, I looked playfully at Tiger. "Do you think I can't afford to pay?"
Tiger looked at Lynn, then at me, clearly unsure how to respond.
At that moment, I opened my backpack, took out a stack of cash, and threw it at Tiger' face. "Is this enough?" I pulled out another stack. One stack after another, a total of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, all thrown at Tiger' face. "Is it enough?"
Tiger was completely stunned. Lola and the others were also dumbfounded. They couldn't believe I, a penny-less loser, had so much money. Then, I took out the remaining one hundred and fifty thousand dollars and scattered it around the private room like confetti.
"I, Ryan Woodland, will cover tonight's expenses alone!" After saying that, I shouldered my backpack and left the private room without looking back.
Tiger and Lola were left in shock, mumbling, "Three hundred thousand! Did that loser win the lottery?"

After I left the private room, Lynn followed me out, trying to cozy up to me. She led me to a reception room in the restaurant, pulling her collar low as she respectfully asked, "Chairman, how was the meal today?"
"Not bad! You did well by teaching Tiger a lesson today," I nodded approvingly. "But don't call me Chairman in public."
"I understand," Lynn nodded obediently, a stark contrast to her earlier fierceness.
"By the way, Chairman, since you're here, why not stay the night? The guest rooms upstairs are soundproof. You can do whatever you want with me." She bit her lip, throwing me seductive glances.
"Stop trying to seduce me." I smacked her butt. "You did well today, so I won't punish you. But if you try to seduce me again, I'll make you clean toilets."
"Does that mean I don't have to clean toilets anymore?" Lynn was overjoyed.
"Yes, I'll call Uncle Sterling tomorrow and have you reinstated."
"Thank you, Chairman, thank you!" She thanked me repeatedly; she was so happy that she kind of seemed like a child.
"I'm leaving," I said, leaving the reception room.
"Ryan, are you really the Mr. Woodland she was talking about?" Wayne caught up with me.
"Yes, I am," I didn't deny it.
"But how do you know such a fierce boss lady? And where did you get so much money?"
"I once saved her life, and I won the lottery," I said casually.
"I thought so. You have some connections and won the lottery, but you're still a penny-less loser!" Tiger sneered upon hearing this.
Behind him, Lola and the others also looked at me disdainfully.
"Watch your mouth!" Wayne was angry and ready to stand up for me, but I slapped Tiger in the face. "Shut up!"
"You..." Tiger held his cheek; he was furious but didn't dare fight back. He had seen Lynn's ruthlessness. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Ryan, you've got some f*ing nerve. Just wait and see!" With that, they all left, and I returned to my rented room outside the school.
I often rented a room off campus because I had to work multiple jobs and couldn't stay in the dormitory regularly.
Just then, I received a call from Vincent. "Young master, where are you?"
"In my rented room off campus. What's up?"
"I have some surprises for you. Is it convenient to pick you up now?"
"Sure, come over."
Minutes later, Vincent appeared downstairs and courteously opened the Maybach door for me.
"Young master, please get in."
"Okay." I sat in the Maybach, looked around, then looked at Vincent. "Uncle Sterling, it's late. What can't wait until tomorrow?"
"Some things are best experienced at night," Vincent said mysteriously.
"What is it?"
"You'll see soon enough."
After driving for over ten minutes, we arrived at a luxurious villa community in the city center.
'I had heard of this place before; it was where the city's wealthiest lived. But I didn't understand why he brought me here.'
As I looked around, I couldn’t help but gaze at Vincent curiously.
He led me to the villa's second floor and handed me a golden mask. "Young master, put this on."
"Uncle Sterling, what are you up to?" I was truly puzzled.
"Put it on, and you'll understand." He handed me a remote control for the curtains. I pressed it, and the curtains slowly opened, revealing a scene I'll never forget!
Behind the curtains were dozens of naked women! They stood straight in the first-floor hall, a sea of white flesh, like a forest of bodies.
I swallowed hard and looked at Vincent in confusion. "Uncle Sterling, what's the meaning of this?"
"Don't look at me, look at them," Vincent said with a smile. "This is the surprise I prepared for you. Do you like it?"
"This..." I was speechless, it was overwhelming.
'Since I stood on the second floor, I could clearly see their faces. They were all beautiful, with fair skin and model-like figures. I could even see the pink n*pples and p*bic hair of those in the front row.'
"Young master, they are all yours tonight. Enjoy them to your heart's content." With that, Vincent bowed and left with a mischievous smile.
