Well, he treated Lao Shen to Shaxian snacks. The next day, when I was on a variety show, the teacher was furious. It was obvious that he had treated Lao Shen to the cheapest Shaxian snacks, but Lao Shen still ordered over 100 yuan worth. Another example is our God of Wealth, Sister Lai. Every time she can't win against that Mimi guy, she gives Lao Xie money. Whether it's 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, or 100,000, Lao Xie will always step in. He doesn't care about the amount of money, as long as there's money, he's happy. In one chapter, that Mimi guy wanted Sister Xie to vote for him and even gave her money.
