NovelEnglishChapter 376 Daniel had heard what was being said on the other line during Carlisle's phone conversation. With a tight smile, he shook his head at Carlisle and pretended he had nothing to say.
Carlisle smiled. "Could you go to the dorm and grab my guitar forwhile I take Wanda to the stadium?" "For sure," Daniel said and turned to make his way to the dormitory.
A stage had been set up in the stadium, and before it was the audience seating area. A total of 25 rows had been allocated, and there were 30 seats in each row.
Shane found the student who was selling seats and handed him 800 dollars. "I'll give you 800 dollars for four seats in the middle section, second row. It's a non-negotiable offer.
The student who was selling the seats was an upperclassman. He glanced at the 800 dollars Shane was holding out to him and frowned. "Kid, you're kind of driving a hard bargain here.
"We agreed that the seats in the middle section wouldn't go for anything less than 300 dollars, which was why I held the reservation for you.
"Now you're offering a third less than the agreed price? Con." Shane didn't want to offend a senior, so he feigned despair as he mumbled, "Concert tickets only go for about 100 dollars per show; 300 dollars for a seat at the bonfire party is too steep. Can't you go any lower than that?" "Damn it, fine!" the upperclassman growled. “Rough day for business, I guess. Follow 1. me.

Shane hid his glee as he fell in step behind the upperclassman.
A lot of the students at Rive and University hailed from affluent backgrounds. While 200 dollars might seem a lot for the average working-class person, it was nothing to the rich.
A seat for 300 dollars would be considered a steal for these students, and even if the seats went for 500 dollars, Shane would bet his last coin that the scions would still fight for them.
By grabbing four seats for 800 dollars, Shane had saved close to 400 dollars for Daniel.
As the sky darkened, the lights in the stadium flickered to life.
Images depicting the glory days of Riverland University and its many accomplishments began to play on the large screen behind the stage.
While the quality was far from high definition, the freshmen found the whole set-up impressive.
After all, a lot of the villages in the country were still considered underdeveloped, and it was a miracle for anyone to own a black-and-white television.
A large screen projecting color images was relatively new and wondrous to the freshmen.
Daniel had Carlisle's guitar strapped to his back when he bumped into Christine and Phoebe outside the stadium.
Up until a second ago, he had been worried about the two extra seats that Carlisle and Wanda no longer needed.
Now, he bounded up to Christine and Phoebe like they were his beacons of hope." Hey there, gorgeous ladies!" "Daniel, are you trying to givea heart attack?" Phoebe snapped, patting her chest to calm her beating heart when she saw that the person who had cup to her was none other than Daniel.
It wasn't her fault that she was shocked; it was dark outside the stadium, after all.
Christine glanced at Daniel indifferently.
Daniel chuckled sheepishly "Sorry, I might have been a little loud."

He wasn't bluffing. He cfrom a well-to-do family, and he had m dabbled in several musical instruments during junior high. While he was no expert in any of them, he could play a few simple tunes if he tried.
Phoebe pressed, "So what song are you playing tonight?" Another sheepish chuckle escaped him as he said, “Uh... I didn't sign up for the performance tonight." "Then why do you have a guitar?" Phoebe asked, quirking her lips in amusement.
"It's Carlisle's," Daniel explained.
"Do you know what song he'll be performing?" Phoebe inquired.
"Nope, he didn't tell me," Daniel said sadly.
Phoebe rolled her eyes. "What do you know anyway? Con, Christine. Let's go." She linked arms with Christine and led the latter toward the stadium doors.
At that moment, Daniel ran over to them and cut them off. "You guys, wait!" He sneaked a glance at Christine and saw nothing but indifference on her face.
Phoebe asked with a raised brow, "What?"
Daniel explained, "Look, I had someone grab four seats forin וח the second row Two of the seats were originally meant for Carlisle and Wanda, but they'll be sitting in the first row with the guests. "I was hoping you guys would doa favor and take up the two extra seats."
