Chapter 968: Beautiful Girl (15)

Because she was still a high school student, she only took on part-time jobs once or twice a week at most, and she certainly didn't earn tens of thousands every time. Today's earnings were simply due to the products being expensive and selling well, which meant higher commissions. In addition, President Chen had been exceptionally generous.

Under normal circumstances, a promotional hosting job like this would earn her somewhere between two and five thousand yuan. Most employers paid around one thousand yuan as a service fee, and as for red envelopes, some bosses gave them while others didn't.

“You've both waited so long. Let me treat you to something.”

Tang Guo waved the red envelope in her hand, her smile as clean and bright as ever.

“What do you want to eat?”

Zuo Ran and Wei Liang froze for a moment. It was their first time meeting a girl who wanted to treat them after earning money herself.

“It wasn't easy for you to earn that money. No need,” Zuo Ran said.

“Aren't you trying to be friends with me? Some snacks won't cost much. I may not earn huge amounts of money, but earning my own spending money isn't a problem. Come on, what do you want? My treat today.”

The liveliness in her expression seemed to infect them, and they unconsciously agreed.

Perhaps, they thought, this was another way to grow closer to her.

“We can't think of anything,” Zuo Ran answered with a smile. “How about you decide? We'll eat whatever you choose.”

Tang Guo considered for a moment.

“How about barbecue? You've waited so long, you must be hungry. I really love spicy food. Do you like it?”

“Of course.”

Naturally, the two had no objections. As long as they could spend more time with her, that was enough.

Besides, it was Friday. They had plenty of free time, and their families practically raised them in a free-range manner.

Tang Guo had already called her mother and informed her that she would be working part-time after school and would be home late. Now, since she was going out for a late-night meal with friends, she would be delayed even longer.

She chose a barbecue restaurant and led the two rich young masters there. Probably no one else in the world would take wealthy heirs out for barbecue quite like she did.

The restaurant was clean, and the dishes looked good.

After looking around, Zuo Ran and Wei Liang were fairly satisfied. It wasn't a high-end place, but it was clean and pleasant enough, which put them at ease.

Soon, the three of them were eating skewers, drinking beverages, and chatting. Somehow, they felt much closer than before.

Eating barbecue at this hour in such a tiny restaurant was a first for both of them.

The food tasted surprisingly good. As they ate, they couldn't help but secretly observe the girl sitting across from them.

Seeing her enjoying every bite, smiling brightly and eating with relish, they found themselves smiling too. Suddenly, the food before them seemed especially delicious, and their appetites grew tremendously.

When they finished, they insisted on taking Tang Guo home. It was already close to ten o'clock, and they didn't feel safe letting a girl go back alone.

This time, she didn't refuse.

Only after watching Tang Guo disappear upstairs did they return to the car, both falling silent.

Wei Liang touched the corners of his slightly swollen lips, reddened from all the chili peppers. He chuckled softly.

“This is the first time a girl has treated me to a meal. And barbecue, no less.”

“It was pretty spicy,” Zuo Ran said as he pulled out his phone and glanced at his own reddened lips. “But it tasted good. Next time we eat there, we'll definitely have to ask the owner to go easier on the chili.”

The two suddenly looked at each other.

After a brief silence, Wei Liang finally spoke.

“She wouldn't accept anything from us… and she actually treated us to barbecue instead?”
