China Sea, Hennessy Western Restaurant—
As the largest Western restaurant in China Overseas, Hennessy Western Restaurant can only be described in one word, that is, high-quality.
Yes, in this era, ordinary people can’t afford seafood, so how can they afford Western food? Therefore, Western food is a very fashionable and high-end thing. With the rapid development of China Overseas economy, Western restaurants are blooming everywhere in this metropolis. Not only are many white-collar workers and executives from foreign companies like these restaurants, but even some foreign friends who come to China Overseas like them.
It can be said that although the China Overseas in this era is not as rich as Hong Kong, it already has the atmosphere of an international metropolis.
At this moment, at 8 o'clock in the evening, the entire Western restaurant was filled with guests. Because a chef from France made cold dishes tonight, it attracted many elites who loved Western food.
At a dining table, Song Zhichao and Xiong Yaohua were waiting for Liang Yongfa’s arrival, and on their dining table, they simply served coffee.
Song Zhichao likes to smoke, but the restaurant here is prohibited. There is no way, so he has to endure it.
Not far away, a Chinese girl was having dinner with a big belly foreigner.
The foreigner was obviously in his forties or fifties, with bald hair and even ugly appearance. Even if he had sprinkled a lot of cologne perfume, he could not hide the unpleasant body odor on his body. But such a man, the little girl who looked young and beautiful in her twenties screamed "Darling" at once, and showed her love from time to time, putting fruits into the foreigner's mouth, or snuggling beside the foreigner, holding his arm and giggling, looking afraid that others would not know that he was a foreigner.
There is no way. In this era, many girls are proud of going abroad. The moon in foreign countries is round, and foreigners are fragrant. No matter how ugly or ugly the foreigner is, as long as you can get along, you will be very capable.
This situation has caused many foreigners who are ill-hearted to take advantage of loopholes. Whether it is white people from the United States or black people from poor Africa, as long as they come to China, they can play with women casually with their status as foreigners. They promise that they will take them abroad and give them a future, but in fact, they will be abandoned after playing.
Many girls in this era are very stupid. This kind of stupidity comes from the "trend abroad" and comes from foreign countries, which means they are better than China.
At this moment, the girl with little eyes is this kind of person. In her eyes, no matter how old or ugly the other person is, she cannot compare to the "guarantee" that he can take him abroad.
...
Just as Song Zhichao was observing the man and woman, Liang Yong sent him.
However, Liang Yongfa did not come alone. Liang Yongfa has always been very cautious about being invited by someone. After all, he is still very "young" and has a lot of room for improvement in his career. He cannot get stains just because of a meal. In extraordinary times, he pays great attention to details. This is the key to standing still. So this time Liang Yongfa brought the branch leader Dai here.
Team leader Dai is named Dai Xiaoqiang. He is the team leader of the review department of the Yellow River Road Branch. He usually has a good relationship with Liang Yongfa and often helps each other in his career. This time, Liang Yongfa asked him to come over, and he also understood what it means - just a meal, and you don’t have to think too much, so he came over together.
Song Zhichao stood up to welcome the guests, and Xiong Yaohua, as an intermediary, gave them a brief introduction.
At first, Liang Yongfa didn't care much, and thought Xiong Yaohua wanted to fool him this time, but he didn't expect that he would actually come to raise funds. When he heard Xiong Yaohua's introduction, Song Zhichao was actually from Hong Kong, and Liang Yongfa believed it a little.
After all, the word "Hong Kong" in this era is really a golden sign.
After both sides sat down, they seemed very polite and exchanged a few simple greetings to each other.
Especially Liang Yongfa, who is an official from the branch, becomes even more reserved in his words and conversations, fearing that he would affect him if he said something wrong.
Seeing that Director Liang was cautious and meticulous, and the team leader Dai who came with him was also very cautious in everything, he couldn't help but make fun of it. It seemed that many people in this era were too conservative in their work, and they called for reform and opening up, but in fact they did not dare to make drastic moves, for fear of taking any responsibility.
In a word, reform and opening up have a long way to go.
...
Since you are here to discuss business, of course you have to eat before talking about serious business.
A blonde waitress came over and handed over the menu.
In this era, many Western restaurants in China Overseas hired foreign girls as waiters, which can improve the restaurant's quality; secondly, the salary of these waiters is not high, and most of them are international students studying in China, which can be said to be "good quality and low price".
After taking the Western cuisine menu, Song Zhichao politely handed over to Liang Yongfa, meaning that he was a VIP and he should order the dishes first.
Liang Yongfa didn't feel anything at first. After all, he has a high education and speaks English well. However, after taking the menu, he found that it was not English at all, but French. Then he remembered that this restaurant was actually a French restaurant.
Looking at a French that he didn't know on the menu, Liang Yongfa blushed a little. Fortunately, he used the menu to cover his face and was not seen.
"Ahem, Team Leader Dai, you came with me, so I will lend flowers to offer Buddha, so you should order food first." He threw the hot potato to Dai Xiaoqiang directly.
Dai Xiaoqiang thought Liang Yong was polite, but he took the menu and saw it... Damn, I don't know you either, it's all in French!
Dai Xiaoqiang was embarrassed and handed over the recipe to Xiong Yaohua and said, "Since Boss Xiong is the boss this time, then let Boss Xiong come!"
Xiong Yaohua: “…”
He stopped speaking French and didn't know English.
Helplessly, Xiong Yaohua had to look at Song Zhichao like help.
Liang Yongfa and Dai Xiaoqiang took the coffee and lowered their heads to sip.
Song Zhichao was originally out of politeness, but he didn't expect... well, that's OK.
He took the menu again and spoke to the blonde waitress in very fluent French.
The foreign girl nodded frequently and made records.
Song Zhichao understood it too. He probably didn't understand French, so he smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm rude-I just looked at the dishes and dared to order the dishes for everyone. If you have any dissatisfaction later, please take care of it."
When Liang Yongfa and Dai Xiaoqiang heard that Song Zhichao had helped order food, he breathed a sigh of relief. This is not good for eating Western food. You have to order every dish yourself. The problem is that you also have some Chinese menus, full of tadpole languages, and show them to ghosts!
At the same time, the two couldn't help but look at Song Zhichao more. When they first knew that he was from Hong Kong, they looked at each other with a high glance. Unexpectedly, this person was so knowledgeable and knowledgeable about French. In addition, it was also very common, and they knew what it means to give people face. It seems that this dinner tonight will be very comfortable, and people will be very good at appetite and food.
