Guan Lili smiled like a winner while Ling Yiran was taunted by colleagues who had been enthusiastically welcoming her to the company not that long ago.
That was what she wanted to see. The more Ling Yiran was embarrassed, the more relieved she was!
If it had not been for Ling Yiran, how could she have gotten herself fired from her previous firm and even struggled to find a job since then?
A male colleague could not take it anymore and said, "What's wrong with all of you? Ling Yiran never said that she would pay for the meal. Since everyone ate the food, let's go dutch."
The others were embarrassed to say anything when he put it like this.
After all, it was true that Ling Yiran had never said it. Besides, everyone in the room was working in the same firm. No one dared to say that they would not pay.
The male colleague calculated how much everyone had to pay and asked the waiter for the bill, but they were told, "Someone has already paid for it, so there’s no need to pay any more."
"What?" Everyone in the private room was taken aback.
'Someone has already paid for the bill? It was more than 70,000 dollars!'
"Could there have been some mistake on your part? No one here has paid for it," asked Guan Lili.
"There is no mistake." The waiter smiled and backed out of the private room.
Everyone in the room looked at each other.
'Paid? Who paid for it?'
Then, everyone's eyes unconsciously focused on Ling Yiran. Ling Yiran only took her bag shakily and said, "Alright... It's already been paid, so can I go now..."
With that, she staggered out of the private room.
Her head was feeling dizzy, so dizzy that she could not see the road ahead.
'Was it... Yi Jinli who paid the bill? Only he would quietly foot a bill of more than 70,000 dollars.
