Chapter 31: Met the True Upper Class Society
Just now, he only said a few polite words.
He didn't even know why he was getting hit when two hard slaps had already landed on his face.
From the side came an angry rebuke: "I'm talking here, and you dare to interrupt?"
Anthony snorted coldly.
"Anthony, I was wrong. I shouldn't have interrupted."
After getting slapped twice, David learned his lesson and quickly admitted his mistake.
The crisp sound of a slap rang out again, another one landing on his face.
"Anthony, what did I say wrong this time?"
David felt so wronged he was about to cry.
"What did you do wrong?"
Anthony's tone was indifferent: "Oh, that? You didn't do anything wrong. I just felt like slapping you, that's all. What, you don't agree?"
"I, I agree..."
"Good. Since you agree, then I'll give you a few more."
A series of crisp slapping sounds rang out.
Several more hard slaps came his way.
David was already a big fat guy, and these dozen or so slaps made him cry out in pain, his cheeks swelling up instantly...
But just then, an elegant woman's voice came from the doorway.
"Ladies and gentlemen, hello."
Everyone looked over in surprise to find a dignified-looking woman at the door, greeting them with a warm smile.
The woman was in her early thirties, wearing a white dress that made her look like the Madonna from a classical oil painting, causing these classmates to involuntarily widen their eyes in amazement.
Beautiful, so beautiful.
There was actually such a gorgeous woman in the world.
Anthony's classmates hadn't really seen much of the world.
At this moment, seeing this beautiful woman, they all stared with glazed eyes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here on behalf of the hotel owner to bring you wine."
"What, on behalf of the owner?"
"Then who are you?"
A classmate asked in confusion.
"Oh, I'm the Vice President of Golden Ember Hotel, Sophia."
As soon as Sophia finished introducing herself, a classmate couldn't help but exclaim.
"Oh my God, I was wondering why Sophia is so elegant, charming, and has such outstanding presence. Turns out she's the Vice President of Golden Ember Hotel..."
Seeing Sophia with her noble and elegant demeanor and sexy figure, these men widened their eyes, their gazes greedily falling on her.
At this moment, these men wished they had X-ray vision to see through her clothes...
"I get it now."
James, who had been beaten black and blue, suddenly spoke up.
"No need to say more. The only reason Sophia sent someone to bring wine is because of David."
Theresa nodded and chimed in: "That's right, at least you know your place."
"I ask you, among everyone here except David, who else has this kind of status?"
"To be blunt, you people normally never even come to such high-end hotels."
Hearing everyone say this, Sophia nearby was about to speak...
Green urgently shouted loudly, "My God, this is actually Romanée-Conti! Just this one bottle of wine is worth ten houses in the city center!"
"What, 10 houses?"
"Is this even wine? I feel like it's gold, no wait, like liquid gold."
A classmate stared wide-eyed in surprise, seemingly greatly shocked.
"Liquid gold? To be honest, even liquid gold isn't as precious as this."
Seeing these classmates looking like they'd never seen the world, Sophia patiently began to explain.
But at this moment, the already stimulated classmates had no mood to listen to her explanation.
"My God, wine worth 10 houses in the city center, this is my first time seeing this."
"I'd never even heard of it before. Poverty really limits my imagination. There's actually such expensive wine in the world."
All the classmates looked at David with burning eyes.
James was even more excited: "David, thank you for holding the reunion here and letting everyone truly see the world."
After saying this, he suddenly turned around excitedly.
"Let me be honest, the fact that everyone has the honor to taste such priceless premium wine today is all thanks to our good classmate—David."
"Here, I have a suggestion. Everyone should say thank you to David."
"Only a classmate like him can make us feel what glory means."
"Unlike some classmates who, relying on their brute strength, bully their classmates to death. Am I right, everyone?"
Before he finished speaking, all the classmates chimed in.
"That's right, this is basic courtesy."
A tall male classmate immediately expressed his thanks to David with a sincere expression.
"David, thank you for giving us this opportunity. Otherwise, we might never see this kind of world in our lifetime, never know what this top-quality wine tastes like."
Having been beaten earlier, his back had been somewhat bent. Now, David finally had a chance to straighten up.
Originally, after Anthony came over, he wanted to use his family's powerful background and reputation to suppress him, but Anthony didn't buy it at all.
Plus, they had hit Poppy, which completely enraged Anthony.
This led to him attacking them like crazy.
Although everyone was sitting together again now, they couldn't really make peace.
Feeling wronged, David coldly glanced at Anthony not far away.
After what just happened, he was already full of regret.
If he had known, he would never have let Anthony come.
He had already made up his mind that later, if Anthony didn't say grateful and polite words to him, he would have the hotel security throw him out directly.
After all, the hotel manager Sophia was right here, so this guy definitely wouldn't dare act up.
Plus, after all, he was the one who paid for this reunion.
So later, he would give him a good slap in the face.
Anthony, no matter how rebellious you are, won't you still have to bow your head under my watch?
Soon, all the other classmates had finished their polite words.
Everyone's eyes fell on Anthony and Poppy in unison.
They were the only two who hadn't said those nauseating words of thanks.
Some classmates had already started hinting indirectly, constantly urging them.
"Everyone pay attention, speed it up, don't waste everyone's precious time."
Other classmates had already taken the moral high ground, criticizing them without naming names.
"That's right, what's wrong with some people? How can they have no sense of gratitude..."
Feeling the classmates' gazes, Poppy felt like she had thorns in her back.
She looked at Anthony with an apologetic expression.
