Harry told them who he was, expecting them to be shocked, but when they heard Harry's words, they froze for a moment, then began to laugh.
"Hahaha, Harry, why are you so good at bragging now? Young master of the family with billions of assets? Why don't you say that the world belongs to you?"
"That's right. You might as well say you won the lottery which is more practical."
Harry smiled ruefully to himself as he listened to the two of them. What was wrong with the world? Why did no one believe the truth now?
Besides, although this world did not belong to his family, at least half of it belonged to his family. His family controlled 60% of the world's economy.
"I wanted to fool you, but I didn't expect you to see through me in an instant. That's right, I did win the lottery."
Since they didn't believe him, he might as well follow their lead and explain later.
"Harry, did you really win the lottery? How much did you win?" Ellie asked in surprise.
Hearing this, Harry was about to raise a finger to indicate that he had 10 million, but he remembered that there was a notice for winning 10 million. When they check on this, they would know that he was lying. But he could not say a small amount, so he simply raised three fingers.
"300,000?"
Ellie was pleasantly surprised that Harry had won 300,000 yuan. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about tuition fees anymore.
Harry was dumbfounded. He actually meant three million, but since Ellie had said 300,000, there was no need for him to correct her.
"Yes, so you don't have to worry at all. I'm really rich."
With that, Harry looked at Ellie and said, "Teacher Ellie, I'm indebted to you for taking care of me this year. I didn't do anything for you. Now that I have money, you can leave your birthday to me."
Looking at Harry's determined expression, Ellie knew that she would not be able to persuade him this time. She nodded helplessly and did not refuse.
"Harry, can you do it or not? If you really don't have money, you don't have to pretend for the sake of your reputation. Just honestly booking a low-level private room will do."
They had just finished discussing it when Jessica's voice came through. Even with Ellie there, she wouldn't let go of the opportunity to mock Harry.
Harry only glanced at her at that, then said to Grace, "Let's go. Take us to the top-notch private room."
Although Grace was a little worried, Harry was a guest and she had no right to refuse. "Okay, then please follow me, everyone."
Harry followed Grace and led the way over.
Jessica saw that Harry was ignoring her and felt even more annoyed. Let's see how you can pretend when you pay.
Under Grace's lead, the group arrived at the private room. Everyone was once again shocked by the environment inside the private room.
In an area of more than 60 square meters, there was a dining table big enough for more than 30 people to dine on. There were blue glass-like tableware on the table, knives and forks shining with golden light, neatly placed on the right side of the bowls. The landscape model placed on the table looked so real, with elegant screens surrounding it on all sides, and a white vase as tall as a person was placed at each corner.
The private room also had a series of entertainment facilities such as karaoke, a cocktail table, and electronic games. However, the raw materials for making cocktails had to be purchased separately.
"Esteemed guests, this is your top-notch private room. The dishes will be served soon. I'll be outside the door. If you need anything, please feel free to call me."
Grace said respectfully, and after speaking, she bowed and left.
Neil Hotel had specially designed exclusive dishes for different private rooms, so the guests didn't need to order dishes themselves. If there were not enough dishes, they could also order separately.
"Harry, are you sure you want to treat us to a meal here? If you don't have the money to pay the bill later, we don't have the money to lend you."
Jessica sized up Harry, her tone still so disdainful. Even though Harry invited them to a top-notch private room for dinner, she still thought Harry was a poor guy. Whether he could afford to pay later was a problem. She had to make it clear in advance to avoid suffering losses.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Harry.
Does this guy really have the money to pay the bill? What if he makes them pay after the meal?
"Harry, don't joke. I really didn't bring a penny."
"Me too. My wallet is at school."
"I have carefully calculated my living expenses. I really don't have any extra money."
...
His classmates spoke one after another.
Looking at fearful expressions of these classmates who were afraid of spending money, Harry smiled coldly. "Don't worry, I said that Freddy and I will split the bill equally. I won't let you pay a single cent."
With his current wealth, he could even buy Neil Hotel, let alone eat here.
They were relieved to hear Harry's words. It was fine as long as they didn't have to pay.
But Freddy sneered to himself. You're good at pretending. Let's see how the hell you're going to pay later.
The entire class knew about Harry's situation. He was just an orphan and had no money at all. Even the tuition fees were earned by himself through part-time jobs. When he was dating Chloe, he spent most of his money on her. Given his situation, Harry probably didn't even have 880 yuan on him, let alone 88,000 yuan.
In just a short while, the waiter brought dish after dish into the private room. When he introduced the dishes, all the students in the class were stunned. Abalone and sea cucumbers were just side dishes at this table.
Top-grade white truffle, French foie gras, Jinhua ham, Kobe beef…
