Chapter 057: How could Mr. Smoke be unwilling to spend money on a cup of coffee?
Shocking!
Was Mr. Smoke really that rich?
He even asked others to send gifts on his behalf?
Whitey, dumbfounded, took the phone while Charles went to the bathroom.
He checked the remaining Dragon Tooth Live coins.
Whitey had just taken a sip of coffee and suddenly sprayed it out!
“Holy crap!”
“What’s going on, Whitey? You just sprayed coffee all over my face!” Gordon said, annoyed.
“Sorry, Gordon, I couldn’t help it. The amount of Dragon Tooth Live coins in Mr. Smoke’s account is just too shocking!”
“Let me see, let me see!”
Besides Gordon, a group of rich kids quickly gathered around to look at the phone.
“Count it, how many digits is that?”
“Oh my God, twenty-one million dollars, even Jesus would be jealous!”
Having such a massive amount of funds just for tipping female streamers is simply unheard of!
The group of rich kids were nearly speechless!
They used to think they were wealthy.
They looked down on commoners!
But in front of Mr. Smoke, they felt like they were beggars!
“I’m convinced, this time I’m really convinced!!”
“Gordon, should I keep sending gifts? My hand is getting numb,” Whitey asked.
“Since Mr. Smoke asked you to send gifts for him, just do it. It’s not your money anyway. Don’t you always feel like you don’t have enough money to spend?” Gordon teased.
“Whitey, this isn’t like you. Aren’t you usually fearless? Why are you scared now?”
Another rich kid also teased.
“Who said I’m scared? It’s just spending money, I’ve never been afraid of that. Believe it or not, if Mr. Smoke doesn’t come back, I’ll keep spending!”
Whitey said confidently.
These days, you can lose anything but face!
“Whitey, you said it, don’t go back on your word!”
The group of rich kids egged him on.
After all, Mr. Smoke had already given his word.
Whitey made up his mind and started frantically clicking on the gift button.
When his left hand got tired, he switched to his right hand.
When his right hand got tired, he switched back to his left hand.
Five minutes later...
Charles still hadn’t come back.
Ten minutes later...
Charles still hadn’t come back.
Twenty minutes later...
“Holy crap, why isn’t Mr. Smoke back yet? I’ve already spent almost three million dollars!”
Sweat started to form on Whitey’s forehead.
He had never tipped a female streamer this much money at once.
Even though Mr. Smoke had asked him to help send gifts.
But spending three million dollars of someone else’s money would make anyone nervous.
Only this group of rich kids would dare to be so bold.
Anyone else wouldn’t dare spend someone else’s money like this!
“I just went to the bathroom and asked, Mr. Smoke said he got an upset stomach from last night’s barbecue!”
“Jesus, isn’t Mr. Smoke afraid I’ll spend all his money?”
“Whitey, didn’t you say you wouldn’t stop until Mr. Smoke comes back? If you’re nervous, just say it. It’s not embarrassing to be nervous in front of Mr. Smoke!”
“Who said I’m nervous? I’m just tired from tapping the screen!”
Thirty minutes later...
Charles finally came back from the bathroom.
He had had too much barbecue with Daniel last night, and the food wasn’t very clean, making him uncomfortable since this morning.
“Mr. Smoke, you’re finally back. Whitey has spent four million six hundred thousand dollars already!”
“What?”
Charles frowned upon hearing this.
Everyone thought Charles was angry!
After all, having someone spend four million six hundred thousand dollars from your account would make anyone angry.
It wasn’t that Charles was stingy.
It was that Whitey didn’t know his limits!
He didn’t know when to stop!
The atmosphere suddenly became a bit tense!
Just then, Charles changed his tone. “Whitey, I’m disappointed. I gave you half an hour and you only spent four million six hundred thousand dollars, that's not even half my speed!”
Charles looked disdainful.
He wasn’t angry at all about Whitey spending four million six hundred thousand dollars.
Instead, he blamed him for not being fast enough!
Charles was only annoyed at the slow speed!
He often tipped gifts by himself, which was quite tiring.
Finally, someone was helping him tip gifts.
Couldn’t he do it faster?
The group of rich kids looked at each other.
They felt like they were in another world!
“I used to think I was rich and felt superior. Now, I realize I’m actually a pauper. No! I’m not even a beggar!”
“Mr. Smoke, can I be your lackey from now on? I want to take you as my role model!”
“Mr. Smoke, here’s your phone back. I’m sorry, I was testing you at first, but now I’m really convinced. I, Alex Campbell, am completely convinced!!”
So Whitey’s real name was Alex Campbell.
Charles took the phone and nodded.
In the time it took to drink a cup of coffee, all twenty rich kids were impressed by Charles’s strong presence.
His calmness and ease didn’t seem fake at all.
Even after spending three million, his remained so composed.
It could only mean that three million dollars was really just pocket change to him!
“No worries, we’re all friends. Let’s form a group and meet up again sometime!” Charles suggested.
“Sure, Mr. Smoke, it’s an honor to be friends with you!”
“If Mr. Smoke is the group leader, I can brag about it later, haha!”
“You can brag about it for a year!”
“Not just a year, I can brag about it for fifty years!”
So, Charles created a Facebook group chat, and the twenty rich kids all joined, without exception!
With these people joining,
Charles felt his network had expanded significantly.
The resources at his disposal would increase too.
These rich kids might not have much influence now, but they all came from prominent families in Syeattel.
They could solve anything with just one phone call.
And they would eventually grow up and take over the businesses.
In short, there was no harm in getting to know them.
“Brothers, let’s meet again next time!”
Charles left Leaf Coffeehouse.
With Mr. Smoke gone, the group also prepared to leave.
“Hey, who’s going to pay the bill?” The pretty waitress suddenly called out.
“Didn’t Mr. Smoke pay the bill?”
“He probably forgot. Someone like Mr. Smoke wouldn’t be stingy about a few cups of coffee, right?”
