Chapter 45 My Treat

"Janet, it's none of your business." Martin James smiled at Janet Brown in order not to worry her.

Then, Martin James looked up at Ella.

"Ella, what you know is not necessarily the truth. For the sake of Janet, I won't argue with you this time, but remember, looking down on others will only make you suffer misfortune." Martin James said coldly.

After leaving this sentence, Martin James turned straight back to his seat.

"Do I still need you to preach? A poor boy who wants to eat swan meat!" Ella looked disdainful.

Martin James returned to his seat.

"Martin, I'm so sorry. I wanted to say a few words for you, but I screwed up." The fat man looked guilty.

"It's all right, it's not your fault." Martin James patted the fat man on the shoulder.

"Martin, this is really exasperating. These people dare to talk about you like that and look down on you. Why don't you just reveal your identity as chairman of the Gold Group and scare them to death!" Fat man rushed to anger for Martin James.

Martin James shook his head. "If I said it now, would they believe me that I am the chairman of the Gold Group? I'm afraid that we'll only get more ridicule and they will say that I'm bragging."

Martin James never revealed his identity in the class. The last time he taught Regan Jeremy a lesson, Regan Jeremy already knew the identity of Martin James. However, he had transferred to another school, and he didn't tell anyone in the class the identity of Martin James.

In fact, the fat man wanted Martin James to reveal his identity in the class for a long time, lest everyone look down on Martin James, but Martin James didn't do it yet.

"That's right, Martin. You're very thoughtful." The fat man nodded when he was suddenly enlightened.

"However, I already know that I should not keep such a low profile. When tigers don't show off, they really think I'm a sick cat." Martin James squinted.

What just happened made Martin James a little angry. It made him understand that it was not possible to keep a low profile!

The fat man nodded again and again, "Yes! Martin, you should not be so lowkey. With your identity, you could scare to death those people who despise you!"

......

In the afternoon, the counselor came to the classroom right before the school was over. He informed them that the Youth Day was coming, and he decided to let everyone have a dinner together to promote class friendship. Since the counselor had no time to go, he would leave the matter to the class monitor, Janet Brown.

......

5:30 in the afternoon, at the school gate.

All the students in the class were gathered here.

"Students, which restaurant shall we go for dinner? Let's vote." Janet Brown, as the class monitor, asked.

"Let us go to Buffet 1999. It's affordable and there are a lot of dishes." Ella said.

As soon as Ella's words came out, she immediately got a corresponding response from many students in the class.

"Yes! Buffet 1999 is good."

"The key is the affordable price, 59 dollars per person."

......

This kind of dinner required everyone to pay their own money, and they had to consider their own pockets. Naturally, they chose this kind of more affordable place, and this price was also suitable for college students' consumption.

Seeing that so many people agreed, Janet Brown said, "Okay, then go and help yourself."

Just then, a discordant voice came out.

"Buffet 1999? The grade is too low!"

After hearing this sentence, the students looked in the direction of the sound, and what came into view was Martin James.

Janet Brown also looked at Martin James questioningly. She didn't know why Martin James suddenly said that.

"Martin James, what did you say? How dare you say that the Buffet 1999's level is too low?" Ella sneered.

Many students in the class also covered their mouths and laughed. A poor boy went so far as to say that the Buffet 1999 was too low.

"Isn't it? The place with 59 dollars per person is too low to be worthy of me." Martin James said faintly.

When everyone heard this, they laughed and sprayed directly.

"Martin James, are you shameless? It should be that you are too low-level to be worthy of a place like Buffet 1999!" Ella scoffed.

A man with red hair also said, "Martin James, you said that the Buffet 1999 was too low, so tell me, which restaurant is good enough for you?"

This red hair was Regan Jeremy's former sidekick.

"Let's not talk about the five-star hotel. If we want somewhere near the school, at least we have to go to the Feast restaurant." Martin James said faintly.

"Feast Restaurant?"

The students present laughed again.

"Have you ever been to the Feast Restaurant, boy? I've been there with Regan. Do you know how expensive it is?" the red-haired student smiled.

"Of course, I know. If you can't afford it, it's your business." Martin James said lightly.

"You! You brag as if you can afford it, at least I am much better than you." the red-haired student had a gloomy face.

At this point, Ella smiled and said, "Didn't Martin James, propose to eat at the Feast Restaurant? Well, we'll go to the Feast Restaurant for dinner. How about your treat?"

"No problem. I'll cover the cost of the dinner." Martin James replied calmly.

When Ella heard Martin James's answer, she was stunned. She thought Martin James wouldn't say yes, and then she could continue to laugh at Martin James.

However, Martin James said yes.

"Okay! That's what you said! Class, let's go to the Feast restaurant today. As for the cost of the meal, it will be covered by Martin James. We can just eat. If he can't afford it in the end, it's his business." Ella exclaimed.

Ella was ready to push the boat along the river. She wanted to humiliate Martin James even more by accepting his pretentious boasting about affording to pay the class' bill in that prestigious restaurant.

"Good!"

The students present agreed that as long as they were not allowed to pay, they were certainly willing to go to such a high-end place for dinner.

"Class, let's go!"

Ella was the first to walk in the direction of the Feast Restaurant.

"Ella!" Janet Brown stopped Ella.

"Ella, you've gone too far. Martin James is also your classmate. How could you do this to him on purpose?" Janet Brown pouted and looked angry.

Janet Brown usually had a good temper and won't quarrel with anyone, and she and Ella were supposed to be friends.

But Ella's targeting Martin James, made her feel angry.

"Janet, you're still speaking for him? Can't you see that he is just a boastful boy? I think you have been deceived too deeply by him. As a friend, I must help you see his true face today." Ella had an awe-inspiring look.

After saying that, Ella continued to walk in the direction of the feast restaurant, and the students followed one after another.

Martin James walked up to Janet Brown.

"Janet, I'm sorry to ruin your friendship with Ella because of me." Martin James said.

"I should be the one to say sorry. It's all because of me that you are ridiculed and targeted by them." Janet Brown looked guilty.

Janet Brown saw his classmates laugh at Martin James before. She was really angry, but she didn't know how to help Martin James.

"Janet, are you feeling sorry for me?" Martin James said with a smile.

Janet Brown blushed, "No, we are friends, so I don't want to see you being laughed at."

"Monitor, I think you are less and less like friends, but more and more like lovers." The fat man said with a smile.

When Janet Brown heard the words, her face became even redder.

Martin James also coughed awkwardly, "Fatso, don't talk nonsense."

"Well, I won't say it, but I'm looking forward to it. When we get to the Feast Restaurant, I'm sure they'll lose their jaws. I'll see who else dares to laugh at you, Martin." The fat man said happily.

Fat man knew that Martin James was now the owner of the Feast Restaurant.

The fat man felt suffocated for so long that he finally had a chance to let these students had a good look at the strength of Martin James.

"It's time to show one or two, or they'll really think that I'm a sick cat." Martin James said with a smile.

Janet Brown was worried, "Martin James, the prices at Feast Restaurant are very high. Even if you win hundreds of thousands of dollars in the lottery, you can't misuse them like this."

Janet Brown didn't know that Martin James was the owner of the Feast restaurant.

"It's all right. Let's go." Martin James said with a smile.

......

Feast Restaurant was only more than a thousand meters away from the school, and everyone walked directly to the gate of Feast Restaurant.

"It's the best restaurant near our school. This kind of decoration is luxury!"

"After studying at C City University for two years, this is my first time to spend money at Feast Restaurant."

......

Many students looked at the gate of the Feast restaurant and sighed.

Ella turned to Martin James and said, "Martin James, let me confirm to you again, it's your treat today, right? If you can't afford it, it's up to you to bear the consequences, right?"

"That's right!" Martin James wore a calm smile.

"All right, that's what you want. Class, let's go!"

Ella went straight to the Feast restaurant, and the students in the class followed.

Martin James looked at the feast restaurant with a smile and then said:

"Fatso, Janet, come on! Let's go in!"

With that, Martin James strode towards the Feast restaurant.
