Chapter 1534: 381: From a Pauper to the Head of the Bai Family? Almost Fainted!_1 Chapter 1534: 381: From a Pauper to the Head of the Bai Family? Almost Fainted!_1 Marcus White glanced back slightly, looking at Liam, then spoke, “Well, then just consider the restaurant owner as my friend.”

Liam immediately asked, “So what is your relationship with this owner?”

“A relationship that doesn’t differentiate between yours and mine.” Marcus replied.

Liam was speechless, “Marcus, this is no fun.”

Marcus White: “…”

No one believes in honest words these days.

At this moment, Liam seemed to think of something, with a realization crossing his face, he said, “Oh, I get it. You must have paid all the money upfront. That’s why the waiter didn’t make you pay, right?”

Marcus nodded, “Yes, you are correct.”

If the truth is not going to be believed, then he might as well follow Liam’s reasoning.

Liam burst out laughing, “I knew it! Marcus, there’s no way you could be a rich kid! If you are, then I must be the president!”

Marcus White: “…..” Well, as long as you’re happy.

A moment later, Liam added, “I noticed that there’s a good tea house nearby. Shall we go there for afternoon tea?”

“Sure.” Marcus nodded.

Soon, the two men arrived at the underground parking lot.

Marcus was still driving his old Volkswagen.

Liam carefully studied the car and then said, “Marcus, you’ve been driving this car for ten years, right?”

“Yes.”

Liam got into the passenger seat, “When will you change cars?”

Marcus fastened his seatbelt leisurely, then said, “The fact that I am driving you out for afternoon tea should make you feel honored.”

“Honored?” Liam was surprised.

Honored for what?

Honored to be able to ride in Marcus White’s old beat-up car?

Marcus followed by saying, “There are twenty-four hours in a day, I make no less than a seven-figure amount per hour, and today I’ve already wasted nearly three hours with you. Now, I am even personally driving you to the tea house. Ordinary people don’t get this treatment.”

Upon hearing this, Liam burst into laughter.

“Hahaha!”

“Marcus, you’re going to make me die laughing!”

“Making seven figures per hour, are you talking about Zimbabwean dollars?”

A dollar is worth 642 trillion Zimbabwean dollars.

Besides Zimbabwean dollars, Liam couldn’t think of anything else.

Marcus, wrapping his hands around the steering wheel, looking straight ahead, said, “It’s dollars.”

“Stop bluffing.”

Liam continued, “There are twenty-four hours in a day, you make a million per hour, by now you should be a billionaire!”

Liam might not have seen any real-life billionaires, but he had seen them in movies and TV shows.

Billionaires are usually accompanied by a dozen bodyguards.

They have access to private jets and top-tier luxury cars.

And Marcus?

Not only did he not have a private jet and a dozen bodyguards, he didn’t even have a decent luxury car.

Marcus looked at Liam and asked back, “Do I not look like a billionaire now?”

“Oh, yes, yes, yes, you’re the spitting image!” Liam laughed and slapped his thigh.

Marcus White: “…”

If Liam hadn’t laughed so happily, then he might have believed him.

Before too long, they arrived at the tea house.

Marcus parked the car and turned to Liam, “Aren’t you going to treat me to afternoon tea?”

Liam laughed and said, “Aren’t you a billionaire?”

“What does me being a billionaire have to do with you treating me?” Marcus asked back.

Liam followed with, “You’re already a billionaire, and you still want me to treat you to afternoon tea, that’s not quite right, is it?”

Marcus nodded, looking serious, “Indeed, that wouldn’t be right, but I am different.”

“How are you different?” Liam asked.

Marcus stressed each word, “That’s because I am stingy.”

Liam: “…”

Marcus’s logic was so sound, he was left speechless.

A moment later, Liam continued, “Alright alright, I’ll treat you.”

The two of them walked towards the tea house.

Liam ordered a pot of coffee and a few desserts.

At this time, Marcus suddenly looked up at the server, “Do you have milk tea?”

The server nodded, “Yes, we have.”

Marcus followed by saying, “A cup of taro milk tea with no ice and half sugar.”

“Okay.”

After placing the order, Liam looked at Marcus, a surprised look in his eyes, “Marcus, when did you start liking this?”

“Like what?” Marcus asked.

“Milk tea.”

Liam remembered that in their university days, Marcus didn’t like drinking milk tea at all.

And it wasn’t because he was being frugal.

He just didn’t like the sweet and rich taste of milk tea.
