Chapter 789: An Encounter in a Restaurant
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Yang Ming originally didn’t like Western food. He always felt that this food couldn’t fill his stomach, but today was Valentine’s Day. Since Lin Zhiyun liked it, it didn’t matter what they ate.
“Do you know where there is a pizza shop?” Yang Ming really never ate pizza before.
“There is a Pizza Hut chain near the business street and our school.” Lin Zhiyun ate it once. She thought the taste was ok. Ge Xinyao, who was in the same room, had invited her to eat.
Since Ge Xinyao knew that Lin Zhiyun was Yang Ming’s girlfriend, she was respectful to Lin Zhiyun. She would invite Lin Zhiyun for a meal if she were free, but Lin Zhiyun rejected her most of the time. However, Lin Zhiyun couldn’t stand being asked over and over again, and she had no choice but to agree once or twice.
Ge Xinyao preferred Western food. KFC, McDonald’s and Pizza Hut were places that she frequented. The few times that she went out with Lin Zhiyun, they went to these places.
In fact, Ge Xinyao also wanted to follow Lin Zhiyun’s suggestions, but Lin Zhiyun was more casual. She never said where she wanted to eat, so she could only let Ge Xinyao decide it.
“Then let’s go to the chain at the school and eat.” Yang Ming suggested. Because there were too many people in the business street at this time, the restaurant might not have a table.
“Okay.” Lin Zhiyun naturally didn’t care.
However, they didn’t expect that the Pizza Hut near the school was also lively. If you think about it, it was normal. The school session was starting soon. Many students had already returned to school. Even if they didn’t want to come back so early, they would return to school to spend Valentine’s Day with their lovers.
Yang Ming parked the car, got out with Lin Zhiyun and entered the Pizza Hut restaurant.
“h.e.l.lo, sir, now the seats in the restaurant are full. You’ll need to wait in line. Is that okay?” As soon as they entered the door, the receptionist greeted them.
“No way? It is full?” Yang Ming glanced at Lin Zhiyun and asked, “Should we wait?”
“Since we are here, then let’s wait for a while?” Lin Zhiyun suggested.
“Well, then let’s wait for a moment.” Yang Ming nodded and said.
“Okay, please come here. You can rest in the waiting area for a while,” said the waiter.
After going inside, they saw Ge Xinyao who was putting salad onto her plate. At this time, the plate was stacked several layers. It was almost half a meter high!
When she saw Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun, Ge Xinyao quickly put away the tongs in her hand and shouted, “Brother Yang, sister-in-law, you are here, too?”
“Xinyao!” Lin Zhiyun’s relations.h.i.+p with her recently was also good. When she saw Ge Xinyao, she smiled and greeted her, “We have no seats. We have to wait for a little longer. You should eat first.”
“Then let’s eat together. There are only Bi Hai and me, and it is a four-person table anyway.” Ge Xinyao said.
“Can we?” Lin Zhiyun turned her head to seek Yang Ming’s opinion.
“I don’t care. You decide.” Yang Ming smiled.
“Let’s eat together. We are all familiar anyway.” Lin Zhiyun said.
“Great! Then I will bring you guys over.” Ge Xinyao knew that her man always wanted to have a good relations.h.i.+p with Yang Ming. At this moment, how could she let go of this opportunity? She quickly led the way while holding a big plate of salad.
“Just over there!” Ge Xinyao held the salad plate in one hand and pointed with one finger.
Yang Ming looked up and saw Bi Hai. He was sitting calmly at a four-person table.
Just when they were walking over, they saw a waiter walk over and say to Bi Hai, “Sir, there is still s.p.a.ce for two more people. Can you sit together with another two customers? There are still four guests waiting…”
“What sit together?” Bi Hai stared at him instead, and said, “How do you know that I have two people? I have four people!”
“But… sir, this meal card recorded two people… sorry to trouble you.” The waiter persuaded.
“F*ck off! If you keep bothering me, I will throw you out.” Bi Hai groaned impatiently. Bi Hai was bossy. How would he sit together with other people after he just settled down?
The waiter had a helpless face. He also wanted to say something but didn’t know how to speak. Looking at Bi Hai’s dress, Bi Hai didn’t look like a good person, so he didn’t dare to offend Bi Hai.
“I say, can you change your temper? Can you speak more peacefully next time?” Yang Ming looked at Bi Hai, and he was a little amused. Could it be that this guy really knows how to make predictions? He actually foretold that there would be four people on the table.
” Ah …” Bi Hai was stunned and looked up at Yang Ming. He was shocked at that moment. However, when he saw Yang Ming’s face full of smiles and didn’t blame him, he felt at ease. He laughed and said, “I told him, but he didn’t believe me, and he kept bothering me. So, I’m a little annoyed. Brother Yang, you are here…”
When the waiter saw that there were really four people dining as Bi Hai said, he could only say “sorry,” and then leave.
“There were no seats just now. We just met Little Ge filling up on salad there, so we followed her.” Yang Ming said, “Are we bothering you two?”
“How is that a bother? Since Brother Yang is here, I can’t wait to welcome you. Please, sit. What do you and sister-in-law want to eat? I’ll treat today.” Bi Hai grinned from ear to ear at the moment.
The longer he worked in Ming Yang Company, the more he understood the importance of Yang Ming. Many people wanted to invite Yang Ming for a meal, but they didn’t have the chance. He was lucky to meet Yang Ming here.
Yang Ming nodded, and he wasn’t being polite. After sitting down, he handed the menu to Lin Zhiyun and asked her to order.
Lin Zhiyun and Ge Xinyao looked over the menu and discussed what was delicious. Yang Ming talked casually with Bi Hai, “How are you doing recently? What have you been doing?”
“Because of Brother Yang’s recommendation, Brother Bao and Brother Hou placed high regard on me. I’m currently the security manager in the Hua Shang District,” said Bi Hai.
” Oh ? The security company’s business has been extended to various residential properties?” Yang Ming was a bit surprised. He didn’t expect Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan to monopolize the Song Jiang security business quickly.
” En , at present, many of Song Jiang’s high-end residential areas are under the responsibility of Ming Yang Security Company,” said Bi Hai. “For example, I’m responsible for the Hua Shang District, which has a lot of rich people, so the treatment is good. And the money I earn is more than working in the bar.”
“That’s it!” Yang Ming patted Bi Hai’s shoulder and said, “Not bad. This is also considered as a legitimate career. It is nice to hear also.”
Bi Hai nodded. “Yeah, if it weren’t for Brother Yang’s recommendation, this good thing wouldn’t fall on me.”
“Do it well. There are a lot of opportunities.” Yang Ming said, “And, don’t talk like a punk anymore. You’re now a manager in any case.”
Bi Hai quickly answered with a smile.
Yang Ming wasn’t very interested in imported goods like pizza. After the pizzas were served, he pointed and said, “Isn’t this a pie? Is it so delicious?”
” Hehe , Brother Yang is right. I don’t like it very much, but Xinyao likes to eat it, and I just accompany her.” Bi Hai smiled. “I read a book saying that when Marco Polo lived in China, he loved the scallion pancake [1] in the North. After returning to Italy, he was missing the scallion pancake, but he didn’t know how to cook it. Later, he finally found a Neapolitan chef who was willing to make scallion pancake for him at a gathering of friends.
“However, the scallion pancake wasn’t easy to make. The chef didn’t know how to put the filling into the kneaded dough for a long time. At this point, everyone was already hungry. So Marco Polo proposed placing the filling on top of the dough and eating it after baking the dough.
“A fault on the right side, this new type of scallion pancake was praised by everyone. After returning to Naples, the chef paired the scallion with Neapolitan cheese and ingredients to create a unique pizza.”
“Not bad. You even know to read a book.” Yang Ming nodded gratefully. If Bao Sanli’s men were like Bi Hai, then there would be nothing to worry about.
“I have nothing to do when I’m in the security room, so I read some books online.” Bi Hai smiled, embarra.s.sed.
“It seems that you and your Little Ge’s relations.h.i.+p is good.” Yang Ming joked, “You comply with her taste when eating.”
Bi Hai smiled bitterly. He thought, Aren’t you the one who promoted her position? If you didn’t speak up for her, how would I want her? But now it seemed that Ge Xinyao and Lin Zhiyun’s relations.h.i.+p was getting better and better, and Bi Hai also took lightly on the matter about Wu Xinkai before. He didn’t mind it after he thought through it. As long as Ge Xinyao was loyal to him, then it was fine. Anyway, she wouldn’t disturb him if he looked for another woman outside. Ge Xinyao wouldn’t interfere.
But he still said, “Yeah, Xinyao and I intend to marry when she graduates.”
Yang Ming nodded and no longer asked anything. Yang Ming picked up the pizza on the table and ate it. Yang Ming was really hungry, and with the injury, he needed to replenish his stamina.
Although Yang Ming thought that this wasn’t as good as a scallion pancake, it had a unique taste. It tasted delicious. He quickly engulfed half of the pizza.
Ge Xinyao and Lin Zhiyun preferred foods such as salads. As for pizza, they could only eat a slice.
When it was time to pay the bill, Bi Hai asked Ge Xinyao to check out. Then Ge Xinyao took Lin Zhiyun to accompany her to scratch the invoice reward. When they walked away, Bi Hai whispered, “Brother Yang, Wu Xinkai’s uncle came to Song Jiang. He threatened to retaliate against you. Be careful.”
“Wu Xinkai’s uncle? Who is it?” Yang Ming was somewhat inexplicable.
“I am not very clear, but I heard that he has a freight station’s business in Guangzhou,” said Bi Hai.
” Oh , no need to bother with him. Where did you hear about it?” asked Yang Ming.
“It was a mistress of Wu Xinkai. She was a little waiter in the bar. I have been paying attention to Wu Xinkai’s movement from her.” Bi Hai was also afraid that Wu Xinkai would retaliate against him, so he was careful about it.
However, he asked something else out of the waiter’s mouth. Initially, he wanted to report to Bao Sanli, but today he just met Yang Ming, so he told Yang Ming directly.
“I got it. You just be careful yourself. Don’t worry about me.” Yang Ming decided to call Bao Sanli in a moment and ask him to pay attention to it. Otherwise, Yang Ming didn’t have the time to fight with these petty people.
