"Ah Zhu, you got a huge promotion! This meal is definitely on you," Li Kang said with a wide smile.
"What money? I'm broke," Chu Bamboo rolled his eyes.
He couldn't live extravagantly because of his official position. He never used his access to intelligence to deliberately enrich himself, so he was notoriously poor.

He hadn't been intentionally teasing Zhang Hai before; he really couldn't bear to part with those eighty Qian Yuan. Even the ten-yuan noodles he'd eaten last time in the wealthy district… if he hadn't already resolved to reset everything back then, he definitely wouldn't have bought them.
He sighed. "Once I get things settled and my official stipend actually starts coming in, I'll definitely treat you all… But as for now!"
