The restaurant Fang Zhong chose to host the dinner was a rather ordinary one in the city, which suggested that his family was probably middle-class.
This time, however, Fang Zhong was very generous and booked the entire restaurant. He had already received news that the top scholar of the Pingnan Province college entrance examination was from Nanluo City. Although it was not yet known who exactly it was, his excitement was extraordinary. He was well aware that in Nanluo City, no one could score higher than him. Thus, he was almost certain that he himself was the top scholar.
Thus, he had specifically asked for money from home to book the restaurant. His parents, knowing their child had performed well, were particularly pleased and did not skimp. They even allowed Fang Zhong to invite many friends over.
