Thanks to his connection with Chen Xiao, Gao Yue was much more polite to Hou Fei for the rest of the evening, leaving Hou Fei feeling like he was walking on air.
On a trip to the restroom, he said to Yuan Kai, who was accompanying him, "It seems President Gao really admires intellectuals. You saw that, right? We got along great. I'm sure she'll have no problem helping us out with our projects in the future."
'Admires?' Yuan Kai thought. 'I didn't see that at all.'
Hou Fei's next words made him want to start cursing.
"You get the bill for tonight. Just keep track of it, and I'll pay you back later!"
Yuan Kai didn't overthink it at first. 'It's probably not appropriate for a leader to pay the bill himself,' he reasoned. 'But making me front tens of thousands of yuan? What's that about? My base salary is only 6,000 a month.'
