After thinking about it for a moment, she recalled that he was Lu Zhanting’s personal assistant.

The personal assistant said very respectfully. “Miss Wei, I’m here to pick you up.”

“I have a prior engagement tonight…” Yun Wei assumed that he was picking her up to meet Lu Zhanting.

“That’s right. Young Master has asked me to take you there.” The personal assistant was exceptionally subservient.

Seeing that Yun Wei was at a loss for words, he continued explaining. “Young Master said that Miss Wei is to call on me for anything that she needs. Anything at all.”

Yun Wei smiled. Was Lu Zhanting worried about her being disadvantaged at her meeting with Hua Shasha?

But he meant well, and she appreciated that very much.

Smiling, she replied, “Okay, then. I’d appreciate you taking me there.”

Nodding respectfully, the personal assistant waited while Yun Wei quickly cleaned up. Then, mindfully making sure that Yun Wei was comfortable and had everything she needed, he took her to the place where she’d agreed to meet Hua Shasha.

It was a private dining room in a five-star hotel and was already packed full of people.

These people were mostly classmates or friends that Hua Shasha had invited, while some were Bai Wenping’s friends.

Yun Wei glanced quickly around the room and knew that Hua Shasha intended for her to be the sucker who would foot the bill for the night.

“Yun Wei, come over here. Hurry. Take this seat. We’ve been waiting for you before we get the party going,” Hua Shasha exclaimed when she saw Yun Wei, and welcomed her warmly.

She shot Bai Wenping a look, signaling for him to sit next to Yun Wei

Tonight, she wasn’t going to let anything go awry.

She had invited so many classmates and friends with the objective of building her social connections and relationships; and she needed Yun Wei there to pay her bills for her.

Yun Wei, with an innocent smile on her face, sat down as told.

Many of the classmates present had attended Jian Zhifei’s birthday party and knew that Yun Wei possessed a necklace of very high value. So, they were also aware that it was highly probable that Yun Wei came from a privileged background.

However, the invitation for the night had come from Hua Shasha, so Yun Wei wasn’t the star of this event. Hence, these classmates proceeded to engage Hua Shasha instead.

Loudly, Hua Shasha announced, “Everyone, I’m hosting this dinner tonight. Please don’t stand on ceremony. Feel free to order anything you want.”

“Shasha, you’re so generous,” a female classmate immediately gushed in awe and respect.

“Well, we’re all friends. Please don’t hold back on my account. Eat to your heart’s content,” Hua Shasha said with a smile.

Yun Wei took hold of the menu and said, “Shasha, I want to eat this.”

“Order then. Just order what you want to eat,” Hua Shasha replied, secretly smug. In her head, she thought, “Soon, won’t you be using your own money to pay for it anyway?”

Yun Wei smiled and ordered one serving of king crab and two servings of the best sea urchin.

Since she was here to eat, she shouldn’t hold back, right?

When the other classmates heard what Hua Shasha had just said, they erupted into compliments about her generosity, took the menu, and proceeded to freely place their orders.

Hua Shasha herself ordered a few bottles of top-quality red wine worth up to ten thousand per bottle.

If they couldn’t finish the wine, she could always return the bottles in exchange for cash. Since she wouldn’t be footing the bill tonight, Hua Shasha freely placed her order with no intention of holding back.

In a short while, the private dining room was transformed into a happy playground.

A wide variety of delicious, exclusive, and expensive food was continuously served.

Spending at a five-star hotel was inherently expensive, and since everything that they’d ordered was costly, high-quality stuff, the total bill would be extraordinarily high.

Shortly, all the different types of food that had been ordered were served and filled up the entire table.

The entire private dining room was filled with laughter and gaiety. After all, having a meal was the easiest way to bring people closer together and establish relationships.

Hua Shasha was the typical gracious and attentive host, toasting her guests and serving them food.

Yun Wei ate two crab claws.

Eager to minimize all possible hiccups as the night went on, Bai Wenping asked hurriedly, “Weiwei, did you bring your phone?”
