"Even if you have money, eating like this is way too expensive, especially with so many of us. One meal would cost—well, hundreds of thousands, right?"
There were a lot of them, and they ate a lot, so a bill of hundreds of thousands sounded about right.
But spending that much to treat these volunteers to dinner? No way anyone would do that.
Hearing this, everyone stopped fantasizing and agreed, "Yeah, it's too expensive. No way."
"One meal here is probably more costly than a single donation. Forget it. Don't even think about it."
"Definitely not. That wouldn't be charity—it'd just be an excuse to eat out."
Just as everyone calmed down, Yan Keke got off the car and said to the group, "We're eating at Xiyuan, but those expensive dishes are out of our league. I specifically ordered the staff meal with Xiyuan's boss. It tastes really good! I'm bringing you here today to try it out—if you guys like it, we'll have all our group dinners here in the future."
