Chapter 214 It's just a ticket, who doesn't have one?
"Let's go out and celebrate! Sing karaoke or dinner? How about we go to Yuhua Mall? The final payment for Yao Yao from the 'Palm of My Hand' production team has come through, and I got a commission too—it's a lot of money! I'll treat you to dinner!"
Seeing that the public opinion situation was under control and that Luo Xiyao had received her performance fee, Cui Mengmeng was in an extremely good mood.
There's still a week before classes officially start, so now that I have time to rest, I can do whatever I want and make the most of these last happy days.
Xin Yujue responded and casually tidied up her desk, but Ning Yao didn't respond for a long time. Cui Mengmeng looked at her curiously and saw Ning Yao holding a phone and clicking on something seriously.
Ning Yao received the latest anti-hacking software, and with the other party's careful guidance, she quickly installed it.
Now I can use my phone with peace of mind, without worrying about Wen Tingye hacking in and causing trouble.
"What are you doing? I didn't hear you when I spoke to you. Are you chatting with President Wen?" Cui Mengmeng put her arm around Ning Yao's shoulder, grinning mischievously, but her eyes didn't dart around at Ning Yao's phone screen.
"I asked a friend to make me an anti-hacking app, and it's already installed. I'm going to change my clothes." Ning Yao put her phone on the table and opened the wardrobe with a smile.
She chose a beige fitted mini skirt, a pair of skin-toned thermal leggings, and a long, knee-length, dark blue cotton coat.
The three of them went out together, chatting and laughing.
At the dormitory entrance downstairs, several girls stood together, chattering amongst themselves around one person.
Cui Mengmeng spotted the girl in the middle from afar and asked curiously with a pout, "Miao Yuliu, did you get your nose straightened and were discharged from the hospital?"
After her facial features were repaired, Miao Yuliu was no longer in a disheveled state and was full of energy.
"There are still a few days before class starts, what should we do to kill time?" Miao Yuliu's sycophantic best friend leaned forward, winking at the others with a hint of suggestion.
"How about we go to Yuhua Mall? They have everything there – food, drinks, entertainment, and we can even buy clothes and skincare products." The second sycophant's words were loaded with meaning; they remembered Miao Yuliu's promise to give them skincare products.
Just then, Miao Yuliu returned, so we couldn't let this opportunity slip by.
"What's so great about Yuhua Mall?" Miao Yuliu raised her eyebrows dismissively, then pulled out a few cruise tickets from her bag.
The cruise ticket features a luxurious gold logo and is a well-known international cruise ticket in China.
Miao Yuliu's sycophantic girlfriends, numbers 1, 2, and 3, were excited, their eyes wide with amazement. They asked excitedly, "Yuliu, isn't that the Costa Atlantica, the European cruise ship?"
“Yeah, there are still seven days before class starts.” Miao Yuliu held the boat ticket, her lips curving upwards in an uncontrollable smile, her smugness almost impossible to conceal.
"These tickets are expensive, and you actually bought four! You're so rich!" The sycophantic friend #1 exclaimed, her eyes practically sparkling with envy.
"It's only a little over 200 million, not expensive. I paid a 40 deposit last month, thinking I'd just use this time to kill a few days..."
"It's too boring to play alone. You guys are my roommates, so we're friends. Want to hang out sometime?"
"I'm free, I'm free! How could I not be free!"
"Yu Liu, you're so great! Wow, we love you so much!"
This ship ticket is much more expensive than skincare products; they're not even in the same league.
Miao Yuliu's sycophantic sisters were so excited they almost fainted, as if they had won the lottery.
Miao Yuliu waved her hand and raised the boat tickets slightly, not in a hurry to give them to her roommate, but wanting the passing students to see them.
It was almost lunchtime, and everyone was coming out of their dorm rooms, either alone or in groups, heading to the cafeteria for lunch.
Many people noticed Miao Yuliu's words and the several golden boat tickets in her hand.
"Oh my god, I wish I were in the same dorm as Miao Yuliu. She actually bought her roommate a Costa ferry ticket."
"That's Costa Cruises! I don't know if I'll ever be able to go there even once in my life."
"I heard that the people sitting in Costa are all from high society, mostly rich young masters from wealthy families."
“Going there once might change my fate. If my family agreed to give me this money, I would have already become a sugar daddy and risen to prominence.”
Costa Cruises is a well-known high-end tourism option in China, and only the wealthy and powerful can afford to board it.
The most basic adult ship ticket costs 500,000 yuan, and that's just the ticket price; expenses such as food, clothing, and other necessities after boarding are not included.
Even if someone comes from a well-off family and can afford the money, they still need to carefully consider and weigh the pros and cons before deciding to go on the trip.
Ordinary people would struggle to cover their own expenses, let alone invite their roommates along. Only the super-rich would do something like this.
Furthermore, even if you have that much spare money, you might not be able to buy a ticket that you can go immediately.
Guests wishing to board a Costa Cruises ship must make a reservation by paying a deposit one month in advance.
More and more people gathered at the dormitory entrance, all trying to get close to Miao Yuliu.
You definitely won't regret being friends with such a generous female classmate.
With one arm around Ning Yao and the other around Xin Yujue, Cui Mengmeng prepared to pretend she hadn't seen Miao Yuliu and walk straight out.
When Miao Yuliu saw Ning Yao walking over, she became even louder and immediately distributed the tickets to her roommates.
Several of her sycophantic girlfriends got their tickets and were grinning from ear to ear. They took photos and posted them on their WeChat Moments to show off.
"Luo Xiyao, how are you and your roommate planning to spend these seven days?" Miao Yuliu called out to Ning Yao, not letting her leave just like that.
"What we do is none of your business," Cui Mengmeng said, giving Miao Yuliu a disgruntled look.
"You're not going to Yuhua Mall to buy things, are you? That's so low-class. I'm tired of shopping in those malls, they're so boring." Miao Yuliu thought she had hit the nail on the head, raising her eyelids to look Ning Yao up and down, her expression full of sarcasm.
After Miao Yuliu said that, Cui Mengmeng really couldn't bring herself to say she wanted to go to Yuhua Mall.
"What, did I hit the nail on the head?" Miao Yuliu looked at Cui Mengmeng with a smile, her tone becoming increasingly provocative.
Cui Mengmeng's words were stuck in her throat, neither coming out nor coming out, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing that Cui Mengmeng was angered by Miao Yuliu, Ning Yao thought for a moment and then said in a clear, cold voice, "Indeed, we are going to Yuhua Mall to buy our luggage. See you on the cruise ship, Miss Miao."
"Luo Xiyao, how dare you brag like this in front of so many classmates? Don't blame me for not warning you, money is useless. These tickets need to be booked in advance. If you can't get a ticket, you'll be slapped in the face."
"Oh? How did you know I didn't book in advance?"
"I'm just a low-key person. Is going on a cruise ship something to brag about?"
Ning Yao sneered and glanced at Miao Yuliu without showing any weakness.
"Let's go shopping, sisters. Buy whatever you want, I'll pay by card." Ning Yao lazily raised her finger, holding a black card with no spending limit between her fingers.
Ning Yao whistled casually, winked at Miao Yuliu, and then spoke to her other roommates.
"If you're going out to have fun, you'll need to get some decent clothes, right? Why don't you hurry up and let Miss Miao take you?"
Miao Yuliu's three sycophantic girlfriends were instantly excited. They thought, "Is there really such a good deal to be had?"
We absolutely have to catch them!
Just be a sycophant and that's it. Miao Yuliu cares about her reputation, so she'll fall for it!
"Yu Liu, we should dress more presentably if we're going out. How about we go to Yuhua Mall?" Sucking friend #1 urged Miao Yu Liu.
"Yeah, yeah, Luo Xiyao went with her roommate, you can't lose to her." Fawning friend #3 sidled up to Miao Yuliu with a fawning look on her face.
Miao Yuliu's face immediately fell. She had already asked her family for five million yuan as expenses for this trip.
The ferry ticket had already cost most of her money; if she went to Yuhua Mall to buy clothes, jewelry, and bags, her budget wouldn't be enough...
The second sycophant whispered a reminder: "Yu Liu? Why aren't you saying anything? Luo Xiyao and the others have all left."
Watching Ning Yao and the others leave arrogantly, Miao Yuliu steeled her heart and reluctantly agreed.
"Go ahead, buy whatever you want, I'll pay by card."
