Chapter 127 Meeting a working girl again
“Lao Zhang, you have been in Tuao for so long, you should have made a lot of money.”
At around 5:30, Chen Xi sat down The passenger in the passenger seat turned to look at Lao Zhang who was driving, while Matthew sat quietly in the back seat without saying a word.
"It's okay, what's wrong?"
"Then you still drive such a shabby car? This car must be quite old."
>
Chen Xi touched the yellowish interior of the car. Although the car had been carefully maintained, it still looked a bit old due to its age.
“This is the first car I bought after I made money, and I have feelings for it.” Lao Zhang’s thoughts couldn’t help but drift back to the days when he just made money to buy a car.
"Awesome, I didn't realize that you are still a nostalgic person." Chen Xi gave him a thumbs up.
“Hey, you guys who left the country late will not understand the hardships we went through at the time. Life was not easy at that time. Even if we opened a small restaurant, we would often get eaten by people. It was useless to call the police. In the end, we still I got angry and went out with a kitchen knife, so I can get the money..."
Old Zhang sighed and said.
"You are very similar to my friend. He is helping me manage the Internet cafe. If you have a chance, you two can compete with each other in sword skills!"
Chen Xi immediately thought of Wang Li. He and Lao Zhang both "Good" with a knife.
"Perform well in a while."
Chen Xi turned to Matthew in the back row and said.
The other party nodded. Although he did not speak, it could be seen that he was still a little nervous.
After all, facing a bunch of balloon people every day won't give you any real courage.
But compared to the first time Chen Xi met him, it was already much better.
When we first met, he seemed like a shy big girl.
In City Chinatown, the three of them came to a seemingly ordinary restaurant. Chen Xi recognized it as an old Chinese restaurant called Guoli Restaurant.
This store has average decoration, average taste, and average service attitude.
"Damn, I told you to find a better restaurant, why don't you find this one?" Chen Xi looked at Lao Zhang with some dissatisfaction.
He felt that this store might not be suitable for doing business and it would be easy to mess things up.
"What's wrong with this store? This store has been open for decades and has a great reputation." Lao Zhang shrugged his nose unconvinced.
“The food is just so-so.” Chen Xi opened his mouth. He actually wanted to say it was unpleasant because he has a rather picky taste.
“It’s okay, I think it’s not bad. The main thing is that I know the boss, haha! I can attract some customers for him and get a discount. Isn’t this saving money for you? And the people who will come soon will also Get to know the boss and we were all friends before.”
Lao Kai laughed happily.
"Okay, if we can't talk anymore, I'll drag you to the kitchen and make barbecued pork!"
Chen Xi said jokingly.
"Hahaha! The barbecued pork in this store tastes good." Lao Zhang chuckled, and then looked at the receptionist at the door with a squinting look.
On this street, many restaurants will let young and beautiful girls hold menus to attract customers at the door.
The girl at the door of Guoli Restaurant was wearing a plush coat, and her slender white legs were exposed to the cold wind.
Wearing a pair of brown boots on her feet and a knitted hat on her head, she looks pure and cute.
The weather was cold, and her trembling body looked particularly pitiful, but the boss asked her to wear it like this, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Chen Xi looked at the girl carefully. She had a delicate face and looked familiar.
“Hello, we meet again, do you work here?”
"Ah, it's you! What a coincidence!"
Chen Xi gently greeted her, and the girl immediately recognized him and responded enthusiastically.
When she smiled, her two sweet dimples seemed to be filled with sunshine. Together with her cheeks that were flushed by the cold wind, they looked particularly cute.
"Let's go in." Lao Zhang grabbed his neck and walked towards the restaurant.
"What, do you know this girl? She's pretty good-looking. It's just that the weather is so cold and she's wearing so little, which is really distressing. I have to talk to the boss and let him know that she cares about her! ”
Lao Zhang waved his fists, looking like he wanted to fight against injustice.
"It's hard to see her working in several places. You know the boss, let's talk about it!"
"Oh, do you feel bad?"
"Go, go, I've met several times. We are all Chinese. It's not easy to survive overseas, so we should help each other." Chen Xi patted Lao Zhang's shoulder gently, indicating that he would communicate with his boss later.
“Hey, old country, you are too unkind. You let a girl stand outside with so few clothes and watch others freeze. This little brother of mine is heartbroken.”
Entering the hotel lobby, Lao Zhang happily greeted a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face at the front desk, and then started a burst of crazy complaints.
"I think you feel bad. Everyone knows that you like to go to the club to care about the girls' life problems."
"Damn, I was afraid that they would be lonely, so I went over to chat. Just chatting."
"Come on, no one is serious about chatting in bed."
The two men were so absorbed in chatting that they completely forgot about the existence of Chen Xi and Matthew.
"Okay, Alin is already here."
The restaurant owner pointed to a table in the distance, where a man in a suit was sitting, and he was playing with his mobile phone intently.
Because his back was turned to them, he couldn't see his face clearly.
"Okay, here comes a crab, double noodles!"
Old Zhang stretched out a scissor hand and gestured in the air.
"I know, it's so annoying!" The boss waved his hand for them to come in, and he walked to the door of the hotel and asked the girl to come in and rest for a while. It was really cold outside.
After the girl was called in by the boss, she sat on a small bench, took a glass of hot water from the boss, and said thank you gratefully.
After taking a sip of hot water, a warmth flowed into my abdomen, and my body seemed to feel better.
Her eyes turned to a table in the distance, where sat a boy she had met several times in a row.
He must have begged the boss just now, otherwise how could the boss let her in to avoid the cold?
"This is A Lin, this is Chen Xi, this... what do you call me?" At the dinner table, Lao Zhang began to introduce them. When he introduced Matthew, he suddenly forgot the other person's name. He could only stare at Matthew awkwardly.
"Hello, my name is Matthew!" Matthew stood up and shook hands with Arin.
Chen Xi stared at the man in his thirties or forties in front of him. His face was not covered with wrinkles like Lao Zhang, but instead exuded a young and cynical temperament.
Wearing this exquisite little suit on him, with the top buttons of the shirt unbuttoned at will, and his clean pretty face, he looked like a cowherd in a nightclub.
Is this guy really a teacher?
It seems that Lao Zhang doesn’t look like him. He even has a ponytail. Even though he is a teacher, he is still an art teacher.
Chen Xi began to look back and forth at Lao Zhang and A Lin, comparing their images, and then remembered the appearance of other teachers, and then shook his head gently in his heart.
Maybe people can’t be judged by their appearance!
The food is served very quickly, maybe the boss has already started preparing the dishes.
After a while, several dishes were served to the table one after another.
This Guoli Restaurant is a typical Cantonese restaurant, mainly serving Cantonese dishes such as barbecued pork and seafood.
A steamed mangocao with black bean paste, which is the standard dish of Mocun Cantonese restaurant, has been placed in the center of the dining table.
"Come, eat, eat!"
Alin greeted everyone to start eating, picked up the chopsticks and started tasting the food, without any unfamiliarity or politeness of the first meeting.
"Today's fish is good, try it all!"
Alin picked up a piece of tender fish and put it in his mouth. The wonderful taste bud experience made him squint his eyes with satisfaction.
Damn, the food here is obviously mediocre, but this guy felt like he was having a state banquet.
Chen Xi complained slightly in his heart, but still picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.
“Well, not bad!”
Today's food seemed to be better than what he cooked in his previous life, and he couldn't help but praise it.
"Hello, I am a teacher after a cram school. I heard that you want to test my level..."
Just after eating a few mouthfuls of food, Matthew had to bite the bullet. Asked Alin first.
Chen Xi felt very speechless and thought: "How can we discuss business at the dinner table."
What happened to this Matthew? He became so bold at the dinner table, like It's like he's become a different person.
Strange, strange!
"Eat first, the young man is really anxious, hahaha!"
Alin waved his hand, picked up another piece of roast duck, stuffed it into his mouth with a smile, and signaled Matthew to wait a moment Let’s talk about it later.
"Uh..." Matthew was speechless for a moment and froze.
A few seconds later, under Chen Xi’s eyes, he could only focus on eating for the time being.
"Alin, please take good care of my little brother..."
At the dinner table, Lao Zhang kept talking to Alin, praising Chen Xi's ability in his words.
Alin looked at the young man in front of him who was as fair and handsome as him from time to time, and seemed to be observing him carefully.
Chen Xi remained silent and just responded with a smile, while silently analyzing A Lin in his heart.
This old boy still hasn’t mentioned the cram school!
Lao Zhang said before that he would go to KTV to sing after dinner.
Chen Xi planned to get the old boy some wine and let him listen to some high-energy songs, and then they could talk about business.
"Do you understand the RMIT course? Have you read MKTG1100 Sales Management?"
However, things were beyond his expectation. Halfway through the meal, Alin seemed to be distracted by Lao Zhang He was getting a little impatient with his chatter, and he actually asked Matthew some questions.
“I have previewed some.”
Matthew answered honestly, without any exaggeration or boastfulness in his tone.
"Do you know Monash's BFF2140 Business Finance?"
"A little bit, I just started looking at other universities' courses, and the courses I know are limited so far."
"You Let’s talk about these two lessons casually first.”
“Okay...”
At Arlin's request, Matthew began to teach.
What surprised Chen Xi was that Matthew's behavior during lectures was completely different from usual conversations with others. He became no longer nervous and spoke fluently and freely.
Chen Xi clearly remembers the first time he listened to Matthew's lecture. At that time, Matthew spoke like a stutterer.
"Haha, the hotel has become a classroom." Lao Zhang chuckled, then picked up a piece of kale and started tasting it.
Arin kept his head down while eating, and he didn’t know if he was listening to Matthew’s explanation.
Matthew was like a machine, stating the key points of the courseware one by one and adding his own opinions when appropriate.
This made Alin keep nodding in agreement.
Chen Xi observed Alin's reaction from the sidelines and found that he was very satisfied with Matthew's lecture.
I was secretly happy that the matter was more than half successful.
You know, if you want to achieve good results in cram school, having a good teacher in the early stage is the key.
"Well, that's right. I know all the Master's courses. Eat the food, otherwise it will get cold."
Matthew was giving a lecture, and Arin suddenly interrupted him, pointing to the food on the table.
