School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 442 : The Show-off of the Dead Fat Man
"So you admit it?" Wen Xiaobao retorted.
"Yes!" Jiang Xiaoliang declared with pride.
"Fuck!" Wen Xiaobao grabbed a plate and viciously smashed it.
Clang!
The plate shattered on impact. Wen Xiaobao gritted his teeth and said, "Then I can't be bothered to play along anymore. Fuck!"
He didn't forget to curse one more time before leaving.
After Wen Xiaobao left, the classmates were all dumbstruck.
Xiao Han glanced at everyone and then laughed, saying, "Instead of letting some guy show off to us here, why not find a place to enjoy some good food and a few good drinks at a street stall? Big Fatty, let's go."
"Let's go!" Li Dapang tossed his plate aside, which immediately smashed into pieces.
Chen Zihan hurriedly grabbed Xiao Han's arm and said, "I'm coming too!"
"Me too!" Yang Xiaoyan quickly pulled her boyfriend along and chased after them.
Many classmates followed suit. Li Dapang didn't forget to lean in and shout, "Who else wants to come? It's on me."
After saying this, he quickly left.
"I'll go."
"Me too, count me in!"
In the banquet hall, many people stood up to leave. A group of people decided to depart, planning to follow Big Fatty to find some place for late-night snacks. Why bother putting on airs here? They felt totally out of place anyway. Moreover, the host wasn't sincerely entertaining them, serving up all sorts of shoddy food and industrial-chemically adulterated booze... Stuff that not even pigs would eat, yet expected to entertain his classmates with.
"I didn't expect Jiang Xiaoliang to be so excessive."
"Sigh, let's go."
People continued to leave in dribs and drabs, and eventually, only a few were left in the banquet hall. Liao Zhijie was still sitting in the lounge area, and a few other people were Jiang Xiaoliang's close buddies. They clustered together, silent. They really couldn't mingle with Li Dapang, which is why they hadn't followed him out.
The group left the hotel.
"Fatty, where shall we go for skewers?"
"Where do you want to go?" Li Dapang asked.
"Heh, let's just hit up Hanmen Restaurant!" someone suggested. "The last time we had midnight snacks at Hanmen Restaurant was pretty good. Not only do they have barbecue, but also some really tasty dishes. So, what do you guys think?"
"Sounds good!" Li Dapang immediately perked up upon hearing this.
"With so many of us, how are we getting there?" someone from behind asked.
"We'll hail some cars," Xiao Han replied and then added, "Big Fatty, call for sedans."
"Okay!" Li Dapang had connections. Getting a car was simple for him; he just made a call.
A minibus soon came racing over. The driver was Fatty's good friend, a guy who had contracted a route in Linjiang City and started running a bus service, with government subsidies and his earnings from driving. He was making a decent living. With just one call from Li Da, he hurried over with his vehicle.
"Fatty," the driver greeted with a chuckle.
"Ant, are you alive?" Li Dapang chuckled and then said, "Hurry up, can everyone fit?"
"Yeah!" The driver glanced over and replied, "It's not too far, we can squeeze in and get there. Hop on!"
The bus doors opened, and everyone crammed inside.
The minibus was allowed to carry thirty-five people but ended up squeezing in over forty. The driver sped off quickly towards Hanmen Restaurant opposite Fuxing Community. It was peak time for late-night snacks. By the time they reached the entrance, there were already quite a few cars gathered outside.
"We're here!" Li Dapang announced, "Everybody off."
Next, everyone opened the doors and got off the bus, revealing smiles on their faces.
For some, it was their first time at Hanmen Restaurant, and as they entered, they immediately appreciated the tasteful décor. Liu Xiaolei hurriedly came forward to welcome everyone, and with her sharp eyes, she quickly spotted Li Dapang and Xiao Han, exclaiming in surprise, "Fat Li, Xiao Han... what's this?"
"Class reunion!" Li Dapang laughed, "We brought our classmates here for a meal. Get us a big private room."
"Of course!" Liu Xiaolei responded immediately, nodding, and then said, "There's a large private room upstairs with three tables. That should be enough."
"If it's not, we'll just squeeze in, make it lively," Li Dapang laughed heartily, "Squeezing the guys and girls together will make it warmer too."
"Haha..." Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
A smile appeared on everyone's faces as they all laughed. The group made their way toward the large private room on the second floor.
There was a lot of chatter and laughter among the group, and although it didn't have the class or prestige of the Sheraton Hotel, this place was more welcoming. Plus, sitting together to chat and boast was the real meaning of a get-together.
At the Sheraton, everyone could only watch as all the female classmates circled around Jiang Xiaoliang, fawning over him. Which male classmate would enjoy that? So, once they were in the private room, everyone immediately felt the atmosphere warm up a lot, and there was much more lively interaction. Only when the male and female classmates chatted could there be a lively atmosphere, and throwing in some risqué jokes made it even more animated.
Once they were seated, Li Dapang didn't hold back, he ordered the restaurant's most expensive dishes and barbecue. A whole roasted lamb cost twelve hundred.
When the whole roasted lamb was brought to the table, excitement immediately ensued.
"Whoa, roasted whole lamb?"
"That's not cheap, right?"
"Awesome, it's my first time eating roasted whole lamb!"
The group was overjoyed, everyone became excited, showing immense enthusiasm.
"Not expensive, a whole lamb is just twelve hundred!" Li Dapang laughed and said, "Three lambs are just three thousand six hundred. Adding some odds and ends, the total comes to about ten thousand."
Sss...
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
It was clear that Li Dapang was trying to show off in front of Yang Xiaoyan. However, Xiao Han supported him because Yang Xiaoyan had been too much, dumping Li Dapang just because of geographical distance. Now she had the audacity to show off with her current boyfriend. So from a revenge standpoint, Xiao Han supported Li Dapang's retaliatory face-slapping.
"You fatso, how much do you make a month?" the first to leave, Wen Xiaobao, asked.
"Not much," Li Dapang shook his head and said, "Just over a hundred thousand a month. So, spending ten thousand to treat everyone to a meal is nothing much."

Li Dapang's words evidently shocked everyone even more.
Disbelief was written on everyone's faces. To them, Li Dapang was just a high school graduate, at best an ordinary office worker, and among those workers, Fat Li would probably be considered the lowest and least impressive. Everyone thought Li Dapang's salary wouldn't exceed five thousand. But here he was, claiming he made over a hundred thousand a month, how could they not be stunned?
"Fatso, are you robbing banks?" Wen Xiaobao, always blunt, asked, "Where are you making so much money? Will you die if you don't brag? We're all classmates, who are you trying to impress? Don't we all know how much you make?"
"Hehe..." Li Dapang chuckled and said, "I forgot to give you guys an introduction about myself. Now I'm... well, let's say, the deputy general manager of Hanmen Catering, and also the general manager of Hanmen Technology. I hold multiple positions. Oh yes, I'm one of the shareholders of Hanmen Company. My monthly income of over a hundred thousand includes my salary, benefits, and dividends."
"Wow!" everyone exclaimed, their eyes filled with envy.
"You guys might know, we already have five branches of Hanmen Restaurant in Linjiang City, and we have a location in the provincial city too." Li Dapang said with pride, exuberantly telling the crowd, "Our monthly gross profit is over a million..."
Li Dapang introduced Hanmen Catering with great confidence.
In fact, without Li Dapang's explanation, everyone knew that Hanmen Restaurant was doing extremely well, which filled their eyes with surprise and delight.
"Fatso, who's going to believe you just because you say so?" Wen Xiaobao snorted from the side.
Just then, Liu Xiaolei walked in at the right moment, smiled slightly, and said, "I can attest to that. Li Dapang truly is one of the shareholders of Hanmen Restaurant. Although not the largest shareholder, he owns five percent of the restaurant."
"Oh..." everyone marvelled.
A monthly profit of over a million, five percent is fifty to sixty thousand, plus salary and benefits, it all adds up to over a hundred thousand without too much trouble. Wen Xiaobao couldn't help but pat Li Dapang's shoulder and said, "Damn, I really didn't expect you, fatty, to be doing so well now?"
"Really?" Li Dapang smiled faintly, then said, "I think this income is just average. In the future, Hanmen Company will definitely do even better. I feel my current income is quite little, plus, the company's earnings are bound to increase dramatically. Especially once it gets going. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you guys, in the future, I might get a copper mine. Once the Copper Mine is secured, the market value of Hanmen Group will immediately skyrocket by dozens or even a hundred times. In the future, our company's market value might even surpass Meida Group!"
Whoa...
The place instantly erupted, surpassing Meida Group would mean a market value of over a hundred million, wouldn't it?
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked. It was simply astonishing. Yang Xiaoyan was stunned. Who would have thought that fortunes could change so drastically, that Li Dapang would become wealthy all of a sudden. If it were truly a hundred million, five percent of the shares would be worth five million. And the future earnings were potentially limitless.
"My God."
"Is this for real?"
"A hundred million?"
Everyone looked shocked, completely astounded.
"Oh yeah." Li Dapang smiled faintly, then said, "The current valuation for this Copper Mine is around five hundred million."
The group was dumbstruck, five hundred million! What kind of concept was that? It was truly shocking. Five hundred million, with a five percent shareholding, equates to an estimated value of twenty-five million. That was just astonishing.
