Chapter 28: Feng Si Zhe Treats to a Meal

  "Hehe, nothing's going on, don't worry about it." Although Feng Si Zhe said this, he could hear Xie Zhi Yuan saying the same thing, and he was still very happy.

  Xie Zhiyuan is not a person who fears trouble, nor does he back down when faced with problems. On the contrary, he dares to take action and be responsible, which makes Feng Sizhe very delighted, feeling that this friend has not been mistaken.

  As Xie Zhiyuan and several other classmates walked out, Bai Zhifei and his sister Bai Caixia also followed. Bai Zhifei still had an air of indifference as he walked up to Feng Sicheng, "Hey, this match was really exciting, the players all brought honor to our country, it's a pity you didn't see it."

  Listening to Bai Zhi Fei say this, Feng Si Zhe smiled again. He knew that at that time, table tennis was the national ball of the Republic and it was a strong point among strong points. Even in the 21st century when Feng Si Zhe lived, table tennis still remained invincible. In the early 21st century, it had even performed legendary feats for the country in international competitions. "Hehe, you guys must be tired from watching the match, come on, I'll treat everyone to dinner."

  Ran from the middle school class to watch the game, watched for nearly two hours, now it's already one o'clock in the afternoon, and no one has eaten yet. Now that Feng Si Zhe said so, didn't everyone feel their stomach growling?

  "Alright, let's go eat. It's rare for Feng Siche to treat us to a meal, so don't be polite with him." Xie Zhiyuan was the first to shout out when he heard that Feng Siche was going to treat them to a meal. Of course, being treated to a meal wasn't anything special, it was just a great way to increase everyone's friendship.

  It's not easy for Feng Si Zhe to invite everyone to dinner, which is true, because he almost always goes home after school, except for class time, it's rare to be with everyone together, so it would be difficult to have a meal invited by Feng Si Zhe.

  Feng Sichao and Xie Zhiyuan walked side by side towards the restaurant near the Asian Games Village.

  At that time, there were not many individual restaurants, mainly state-run hotels. Fortunately, people near the Asian Games Village had advanced ideas and saw business opportunities, so many restaurants were built when the village was built, so Feng Sizu and his party still had choices.

  At the entrance of a restaurant called Zhengzong Kyōkai, Feng Sicheng stopped in his tracks. Looking from the outside in, the restaurant seemed clean enough, so he turned around and suggested to everyone, "Why don't we just eat here?"

  "What?" When they heard that Feng Sicheng had chosen this place, Xie Zhiyuan and the others were stunned. They could all see that the grade of this restaurant was not too low, just look at the service staff inside, they were all wearing uniform clothes, which reflected their grade problem. If you eat a meal here, how much money would it take? Everyone heard Feng Sicheng say that he wanted to choose this place and hesitated.

  It's said that although the classmates of Feng Si Zhe's middle school class all had some background, because they hadn't started working yet, their pockets weren't very rich either. Thinking about it, if they were to eat a meal here, it would cost at least 300 or 400 yuan, which was equivalent to one or two months' salary for an ordinary worker back then. Isn't that also a bit extravagant?

  "Feng Sichao, I think we can just find a random place to eat, no need to make a big deal about it here?" Xie Zhiyuan, being one of Feng Sichao's closest classmates, had to speak up at this moment.

  "Yes, Little Zhe, I think so too. Let's just find a place to eat something simple. Actually, some small snacks are not worse than what these big restaurants serve." Bai Zhifei also noticed that eating here would definitely be expensive, and as an old classmate of Feng Siche, he didn't want Feng Siche to spend too much money on him after they just met again.

  "Haha, what's the big deal about this place? I think it's just an ordinary restaurant. Besides, we're all hungry now, so why not just eat here instead of walking further? I'm exhausted." Feng Si Zhe knew these people were doing it for his own good, but since he said he wanted to treat everyone to dinner, he couldn't be stingy. He had to say that he had money, and presumably, among these people, the one with the most money was Feng Si Zhe. His mother Zhao Li Rong in England seemed to worry that her precious son would not eat well in the Republic, so every month she would mail him some money, telling him to buy whatever he wanted to eat, wear whatever he wanted, and never to suffer himself.

  As for his mother's doting, Feng Sicheng naturally wouldn't refuse. It can be said that as a young master, Feng Sicheng usually doesn't have much use for money; he has a car to pick him up from school and all he needs to do is eat when he gets home, so money really isn't of much use to him. Now that he finally has the chance to treat his classmates and friends to dinner, he naturally won't be stingy.

  Feng Si Zhe's persistence made everyone follow him into the restaurant. To say that the restaurant's grade is high, and the service attitude is indeed good. After waiting for Feng Zhe and his group to come in, someone immediately led them to a large table, and then there were waiters serving tea.

  Feng Sicheng picked up a menu and casually placed it in front of Xie Zhi Fei, letting him order.

  Xie Zhifei didn't want to let Feng Siche spend money, so he ordered a small scallion bean curd and a meat stir-fry pepper, then handed the menu to Bai Zhifei beside him.

  Bai Zhifei first took a look at the somewhat frightening price tag, then just ordered one home-cooked dish and handed it to Xu Yuanyuan beside him.

  Feng Sicheng couldn't help but shake his head at the scene, took over the menu, loudly ordered a few dishes, including braised pork belly, spare ribs with eggs, and of course, roasted duck. He then asked the server about the restaurant's specialties, in total ordering eight dishes. Only then did he return the menu to the server and also ordered six bottles of beer and two glasses of drinks.

  Feng Siche ordered so many dishes, and some of them were not cheap at all. Bai Zhifei whispered to Feng Siche, "Let's just eat something simple, I don't think we need to splurge like this."

  "Hey, what's the point of not eating well? We're all hungry, and we need to eat more. Everyone go ahead and eat first, if it's not enough later, we can order more. The key is to eat until we're full and satisfied." Feng Siche smiled wryly and waved his hand at Bai Zhifei. At the same time, he felt a sense of nostalgia in his heart. In this era, the Republic was still relatively clean and free from corruption, without the so-called "second-generation officials" and "rich second-generation" phenomena that would later become rampant. Thinking about how it wouldn't take many years for him to be unable to afford meals with those people, where a single meal could cost tens of thousands, Feng Siche couldn't help but sigh at how fast society was changing.
