Phone connection disconnected.
“Pak David must be kidding,” complained Ryan while cracking his molars. He still shakes in disbelief. At this moment, his face slowly paled.
Ferdy and Lesty turned their eyes from Stefan to Ryan. These two people were holding back laughter. If they want to make fun of Ryan now, it seems impossible because this is Ryan's show, they may be stopped.
Stefan rubbed his chin and said, “It looks like we'll be one team later. Can also be it.”
Marissa rolled her lazy eyeballs. He always knew that Ryan always wins style. When it comes to life, Ryan is the champion. Marissa is still waiting for her next story.
Ryan's not calm tonight. On Monday, he will meet with the CEO of Nano-ID. He has to say something to the CEO. He may want to be an OB for a month before he occupies the actual position.
Thirty minutes passed without another laugh and their meal was finished, then a waiter came to their table.
“Total bill sixteen million nine hundred twenty thousand.”
Everyone was shocked. No exception Ryan.
He stood up and cursed the servant. “You're crazy huh?! We only eat steak five people, the bill time until it's that expensive.” Ryan's breath was wheezing after evaporating his emotions.
The waiter turned over and called the restaurant manager. The manager spoke to Ryan.
“Kobe beef price per serving three million three hundred thousand rupiah. Plus you guys ordered drinks. Nothing wrong,” explained the manager while showing a sheet of receipts to Ryan.
Ryan still doesn't accept it. “Usually one serving of expensive steak costs two hundred or three hundred thousand. It would be crazy to spend nearly seventeen million on a doang steak?!”
Ferdy and Lesty are getting uncomfortable. If the joint venture, it means they per person must pour funds of more than three million. Obviously these two people will act silly. That kind of money can go to eat two people for a month in Jakarta. They both mute.
Marissa remained calm. He did have enough money, but if it had to be a joint venture, obviously he would think again, three million which is a lot for those ordinary workers.
Stefan folded his arms around his chest while watching the debate. A very embarrassing incident. Think Stefan, does Ryan not know about the typical Japanese Kobe beef? Why would Ryan suddenly take a meal at a fancy place like this just to humiliate Stefan? Stefan didn't think.
Ryan dared to look into the restaurant manager's eyes, then said firmly, “ I have relatives who work at a famous hotel restaurant in Jakarta. If you're lying, will I report it to the police?”
Is Ryan crazy? Want to report to the police, even though he is just a geeky man who is a hobby of flexing when not a rich man. Funny indeed living in the age of social media as it is now. So, is he going to delete a photo of Kobe beef just now because of embarrassment?
A few moments later, Ryan moved away and approached the entrance. He talked to his relatives over the phone for a while. After that, his face turned pale. Kobe beef is expensive and rarely consumed by most people. Ryan is still too weak to live in a big city like Jakarta.
Ryan can't possibly have a lot of money when he's got a lot of bills. In an age of all paylater and riba rampant, it is difficult to have money in the pocket of seventeen million. Except for the upper class. If they can already buy cars and cash houses, surely they have that much money in their pockets. One-time withdrawable debit, run affairs.
After that, the negotiations continued to the manager's room. “Rolex this price is thirty million more fitting I bought two years ago. So, the restaurant needs to pay me about thirteen million more. But, I cut, it's okay to be ten. I'm sincere.”
BRACKET!
The manager kicked the table. “We need money. No need for this clock. If it sells now, the price will drop to thirty percent. Do you think I don't know about this? If you can't afford it, don't dine at expensive restaurants.”
And in the end, Ryan's personal belongings were confiscated, such as ID cards, SIMs, cell phones, watches and necklaces. Ryan was given one week to pay off all the bills immediately, otherwise all the items would be sold. It is estimated that the money will be enough to pay the bills.
Huh huh? All bills are not paid! How can it be confiscated?
When he walked out of the room, Ryan fell down. His face fitting go and fitting home very different. Now his face was very pale and bent. In fact, he did not say goodbye to his friends because of embarrassment. He's really hit tonight.
Stefan told three of his friends. “It looks like our meal bill has already been paid. We forgot to thank.”
Ferdy and Lesty hurriedly moved. Soon they're catching up with Ryan in the parking lot. They both just wanted to say thank you and sorry as well as possible. Seventeen million was money, not paper, while their stomachs were also not too full eating the steak just now.
Just Stefan and Marissa. At the moment, Stefan could only laugh. It was beyond estimation that Ryan had to fight first over the deal he had planned himself.
Stefan drank his lemon tea and said, “Do you know where he worked?” stefan asked with a very curious face.
Marissa sighed, then replied, “After college, she had worked in several private companies, but never for long. He's picky company. Sometimes it's a salary issue. Sometimes it's a matter of comfort. Lastly, he freelance for the past year or so.”
At least, Stefan knows the character of the person without opening his work CV again.
“Why aren't you married? You're almost thirty,” said Stefan breaking the silence.
Marissa who has short hair shoulder to shoulder, at first glance looks like a policewoman, leaning her back. His face was suddenly gloomy. Marriage is indeed a scary thing for a beautiful woman and prima donna.
If you get a penniless husband, obviously he and his family will be embarrassed. But, because it is too high to set the standard, men so not confident approach it. Marissa is too graceful for a middle-class man.
The classic reason that will come out is: “I focus on career. After having a good income and career, you will only think about marriage.”
Stefan looked at her straight and said, “At a time when people were already thinking about baby diapers and child school fees, we still chatted about wanting to date someone. We, strangely always feel mature.”
