"Do you know how expensive the villas in the Twelve Stars Palace are? One is over 50 million."
"The people who live there are all the most prominent people in Donghai City. Even though Chen Mei's family has the money to buy a villa like this, they need very strong connections to have the opportunity to buy one."
Li Li gave Lin Yi a sarcastic look.
"Oh! It's so expensive!"
"That's right. The real estate company hired the most famous architect in the country to design the Twelve Zodiac Palace."
"That's right. Each house in the Twelve Constellations has its own style and is built according to the arrangement of the twelve constellations."
Everyone was talking at once, and they all felt that Lin Yi's bragging was meaningless. It seemed that the other person simply didn't want them to know where he lived.
He probably didn't even have a decent house and was a working tenant. However, he was hampered by his reputation as the top student in the school and his inexplicable self-esteem, so he lied.
Everyone saw it, but no one pointed it out, so no one continued to talk about it.
"By the way, go and pay the betrothal gifts. I just asked and the food will be here soon." A man walked into the private room.
Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and planned to go together to pay some gift money. Although Chen Mei said that they didn't have to pay, it still felt appropriate to eat and drink for free in such a high-end place.
"Li Li, how much do you plan to take?" a girl asked quietly.
"Eating in such a high-end place will cost at least hundreds of thousands. We have to spend at least five or six thousand." Li Li said casually, and many people behind him changed color.
Five or six thousand is the monthly salary for many of them. Originally, they only planned to pay two thousand, but Li Li paid so much that they felt embarrassed.
Li Li is indeed a quick-witted person. He noticed the change in everyone's face and said with a smile, "Of course, everyone is here today mainly to celebrate Chen Mei's wedding. The amount of money you give is a token of your appreciation. It depends on your ability. I gave more because I will need help later."
At this point, everyone looked at him curiously.
"I am a small director in the Water Conservancy Bureau. I just saw a deputy director of the Water Conservancy Bureau. I want to see if Chen Mei can introduce him to me..."
Everyone understood immediately, and they were all secretly envious.
Relying on his family connections, Li Li has owned a house and a car in the past two years. He also married a college graduate from an art college two years ago and lives a happy life.
If I could rely on Chen Mei and get promoted one step further, my life would be even more leisurely.
Although everyone didn't say it, they were envious in their hearts.
"Lin Yi, why don't you go?" Zhang Huiqin turned her head and asked Lin Yi who was still sitting on the chair.
"Go ahead, I'll give her a different gift later." Lin Yi said meaningfully.
Everyone guessed what was going on in their hearts after hearing this. Li Li snorted softly. It seemed to him that Lin Yi just didn't want to give a gift money. What kind of gift was it? It really reeked of poverty.
Teacher Zhao Ting secretly shook his head in his heart. How could this simple and hardworking young man become like this now? Can time really change a person to this extent
Many girls who once had a crush on Lin Yi showed disappointment.
Zhang Huiqin is no exception.
Without saying much, everyone went to pay their respects. There were special people in charge of this matter. Because there were too many people paying their respects, they were divided into five rooms, with more than a dozen people in charge of this matter.
Seeing that the gifts others gave were either golden Buddhas or jadeite, these students felt so ashamed that they couldn't even open their mouths. They were too embarrassed to say that they only gave over 2,000 yuan.
