“I’m free, but why invite me for dinner so suddenly?” Jasper asked with a crescent-eyed smile.
“I got my first part-time paycheck,” Tiffany replied.
Jasper was stunned. He had made sure to give Tiffany enough money for her living costs, but this
strong and independent girl had still decided to earn money by doing part-time jobs.
Jasper was not against this, in fact, he supported it.
“Congratulations! This is indeed worth celebrating, where do you want to eat?”
Tiffany seemed prepared as she immediately replied, “I heard that there’s a really tasty seafood
restaurant that opened recently at Gold Pedestrian Street Is that okay?”
‘Gold Pedestrian Street?
‘Isn’t that my property?’
Following the full completion and publicity of the Gold Pedestrian Street as well as the support from the
Waterhoof City City Government, the street had developed very quickly.
As of today, it had already shown signs of being one of the future three large pedestrian streets in the
country. All foreign tourists would surely visit the Gold Pedestrian Street first, then make their way to
the beach.
As a result, business at the Gold Pedestrian Street was only improving and the most evident change
with it was its rental costs.
There was no way Jasper would sell any property located here, nor would any stores be sold on the
market. Yet its rental prices were increasing every day. It had currently risen to the rental cost of 5000
Somer Dollars per square meter.
This was an unimaginable cost in the year 2001, yet countless people were fighting for a lease
contract.
Naturally, Jasper made a lot of money from this.
Jasper had first bought these property lots from the City Government with the agreement to pay them
in installments. The rent Jasper earned now has reached the point where it could easily pay off the
installments to the government with profit left to spare.
In no time, more than half of Gold Pedestrian Street’s properties would become cash cows that
countless people desired, and they would supply Jasper with an endless flow of cash.
“Sure. But it isn’t cheap eating over at Gold Pedestrian Street,” Jasper told Tiffany mirthfully through the
phone after recollecting his thoughts.
“Mr. Clem takes quite good care of me and he gave me the best job there is. So don’t worry, Jasper!”
Hanging up the phone, Jasper had Julian turn the car around and make their way to Gold Pedestrian
Street.
This was Tiffany’s first part-time paycheck, and she wanted to repay Jasper with it. So there was no
way Jasper would decline this lady’s kind wish.
This was a pedestrian street, after all, so cars were not allowed to drive in. The car pulled up at the
recognizable structure of Peace Restaurant and Jasper alighted first. He had Julian park the car at that
restaurant first while he walked over to the seafood restaurant Tiffany talked about.
At the same time, Tiffany who had already arrived at the pedestrian street when she called Jasper was
currently talking to a server at the entrance of the seafood restaurant.
“There’s a student card discount, right?”
Hearing Tiffany ask that, the server that was already busy from the huge influx of customers since it
had just opened frowned. She looked Tiffany over and while she found her pretty, all the servers here
were trained to have sharp eyes.
They could tell with one look which customers were rich and which were tourists coming to try things.
“We do, but there’s no space for discounted customers now. Wait first if you want, ” the female server
replied unkindly with a taut expression.
“Seriously, what’s a broke student doing here?”
Tiffany bit her lip when she heard the server mutter and asked, “How long do I have to wait?”
The female server replied irritably, “Can’t you tell that the restaurant’s busy? Go wait outside if you
want a discounted seat, or come back when the restaurant’s empty.”
Tiffany tugged on her own fingers. While she was angry at the server’s attitude, she was used to
resigning herself nor did she want to cause more trouble, so she said, “Then I don’t need the student
discount, then. I’ll pay normally.”
The female server snorted and said, “Are you here to cause trouble? First, you ask for a discount and
now you say you don’t want it. Does this place look like somewhere broke students can afford to eat?”
“Do you know where this is? A simple dish here is enough to cost you your entire week’s living
expenses. Can you even afford this?”
Tiffany replied angrily, “What’s it to you if I can afford it or not?”
The female server slammed her pen on her notebook and said, “Who do you think you’re talking to?
What’s with your attitude?”
“I’m telling you, our seafood restaurant doesn’t serve customers like you! You want to eat here? Sure.
We charge at least 1500 bucks a meal. If you can afford that then I’ll let you in!”
Tiffany pinched the 800 Somer Dollars in her pocket and flushed, too embarrassed to say anything.
The female server scoffed when she saw Tiffany’s reaction and said, “You can’t afford it, can you?
Open your eyes and take a good look. Our restaurant is full all the time and every single table spends
more money than you will. How do we have to spend time on you?”
“Leave. Don’t come to places like this if you can’t afford it. Just go and buy snacks outside, okay?”
