Cleaned up.

The two of them were really ready to go out to dinner, and each went into the house to change clothes, the slightly more formal kind.

Thinking that he might be drinking, he left his Porsche in the basement, took the elevator downstairs to take a taxi, and went directly to a certain restaurant that Song Yuewen had passed by several times, but had never been willing to go in to consume.

She couldn't remember the name, but she remembered that there was a Hilton hotel next to it, and the driver probably figured out the direction, and rushed out with one foot on the accelerator, driving quite strongly.

Even people like Chen Linzhi, who don't get motion sickness, were braked several times in a row, and their heads were dizzy.

Got to the hotel nearby.

Walking more than 100 meters, I successfully found the restaurant that Song Yuewen had been thinking about for a long time, and when I entered the door, I found that it was a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris, and the branch operated in San Francisco had already been fully booked, and I needed to wait for a place.

The two of them waited in line for the table, thinking that it should not take too long, and it would be troublesome to find another restaurant, so they sat in the waiting area.

The waiter brings the menu in advance and asks them to choose the main dishes so that the kitchen can prepare the ingredients in advance.

Song Yuewen ordered a rib-eye steak, while Chen Linzhi first asked which portion was the most sufficient, and chose the tomahawk set meal under the advice of the waiter, which was specially prepared for guests with large appetites.

With its black tiled floors, red-accented decorations and flowers everywhere, and three black men playing blues on the stage, it's much more elaborate than the messy food stalls.

With the addition of red wine, it is estimated that it will cost nearly 200 US dollars, and the tip needs to be calculated separately, ranging from 15% to 20%, and you have to give more, and the basic salary of the waiters is very low, and they mainly rely on tips to earn money.

Song Yuewen rarely came to restaurants of this grade, she didn't have a good time before, but today she brought her own money, and she really didn't have the idea of letting Chen Linzhi bleed.

The $500,000 hidden in the bank safe, coupled with the new house with her name written on it, more or less added a lot of confidence to Song Yuewen, and it was not too much to be chic once in a while.

She sat and waited for the table, and whispered to Chen Linzhi: "Do you know why I chose here? In fact, last year, around March and April, I passed by here and saw a notice posted at the door, recruiting waiters.

At that time, I really wanted to come to work, and if I was lucky, I might earn seven or eight hundred dollars a month, but after submitting my resume, there was no follow-up, maybe because I didn't have a high degree and didn't have the opportunity to go to college. ”

"What do you mean by no chance, just like me in high school, just cares about playing?"

Chen Linzhi asked casually, crossed Erlang's legs, and flipped through the magazine casually.

The magazine wrote that Sam Walton, who founded the supermarket chain Wal-Mart, not only became the richest man in the world, but also hoped to get the Medal of Freedom this year.

It's another opportunity that can be seen, but can't be grasped, what can he do now except for helplessness, so his mood is okay.

Song Yuewen was dissatisfied with him for pulling herself down to the same camp, explaining:

"You don't study well, my grades are very good, and I was almost admitted to the University of San Francisco, but because of the racial quota, and I can't compete with those perverts, I finally failed, I was ranked in the top five in the school at that time, if I can go to a private school with a high level of education, I should be able to take the exam better."

Many whites and blacks don't score as well as me on the tests, and they don't get into the University of San Francisco without making it, which is too unfair. It just so happens that my family has no money, and the tuition fees are frighteningly high, even if I take out a loan to pay the tuition, I will have to repay the debt for several years after I come out, and I think that I may be almost 30 years old after paying off the debt, and then I will not continue to study. ”

Chen Linzhi put the magazine back in its place and said with a smile: "Now that you have made a windfall, if you have an idea, you can continue to give it a try, anyway, you are still young, it doesn't matter if you try more." ”

Regarding the racial quota system for university education, Chen Linzhi has some impressions.

White students don't need to be aware that Asian, Latino, and African-American students are deadly for them, and the official guidelines for universities to take race into account in admissions have led to universities delineating admissions based on skin color, rather than based solely on merit, which is how many students miss out on higher education.

Unexpectedly, Song Yuewen was also one of the victims, and it seems that she is still haunted by it.

Considering the average level of education in the Chinatown area, it means that students have to be smarter and harder than others to get into college, not with white and black students, but with many Asian American students for that little piece of the pie.

Coupled with the high tuition fees, it is no wonder that Song Yuewen, who was among the top in middle school, did not have the opportunity to step on the university campus, and was really restricted by too many restrictions.

Chen Linzhi was thinking at this moment that the so-called fairness and heaven of the public were all nonsense.

Then I thought of Zhao Bailu, who I had met twice, the girl was ambitious and ready to enter Harvard, or Yale Cambridge and other prestigious schools, considering that the family had resources, she could even get a letter of recommendation from the governor of California, and it seemed that there was no need to worry about tuition fees.

In the early years, Zhao Bailu was adopted by a good family of the upper class, and he was indeed lucky, and he easily got the "admission ticket" to enter the upper circle.

Song Yuewen didn't have such good luck during her studies, and now she has a huge amount of money late, and she doesn't need to worry about tuition fees, but after all, she has entered the society for three or four years, and her thoughts are different from the beginning.

Hearing Chen Linzhi's proposal, she waved her hand and shook her head: "Forget it, it's okay to be able to go in, I'm afraid that I will be squeezed out by others again, what I learned at that time is about to be returned to the teacher, and I am not bad now, I only lack a job opportunity." ”

"As a landlord, how happy it is to collect rent, the new house here is rented out, the rent is high in other people's wages, just find an easy job to pass the time, others dream of this kind of comfortable life. ”

After Chen Linzhi finished speaking, she probably understood her original intention of coming to this restaurant to eat today.

Maybe it's because of the long-term poverty and rich, a typical nouveau riche mentality, always wanting to make up for what was missing before, such as self-confidence, dignity, and so on.

I had already guessed, but Chen Linzhi didn't mention it in front of her, she only snickered a few times in her mind, thinking that this kind of Song Yuewen was also quite interesting, only her appearance was outstanding, and her personality was very down-to-earth.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, someone confessed and proposed, and after the man was rejected, he was so angry that he shouted a few words, and seemed to mention the name of another man, and then slammed the door and left.

The empty table was just let out.

There were even uneaten appetizers on the table, and the rest of the dishes didn't have time to be served.

Chen Linzhi moved the chair to make it easier for the waiter to relay the tablecloth.

The tone was pity, and said to Song Yuewen: "We ordered the dishes early, and we knew that there was still this cheap to take advantage of, so we should discuss with the waiter and give us these two sets of dishes at a low price, what a pity to waste." ”

"Don't be ashamed, I'll treat you today, you just have to eat and give some face. Song Yuewen whispered.

The two talked in Chinese and were not afraid of being heard by the waiter.

After eating a meal for nearly two hours, drinking, laughing, and talking about any topic, the relationship suddenly became a lot closer......
