Chapter 45: A Real Birthday Present
The next day, Lin Zitan slept until dawn, he squinted and looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was already past eleven o'clock. Because he didn't go to school, and Li Manrui knew that he came back so late last night, she asked her aunt not to quarrel with him. When he got up, he found that he was the only one in the house, not even Aunt Li.
"Alas, where has this person gone?" Lin Zi shook slowly and leisurely in the living room, the hot pot he ate last night had already been digested, and his stomach was growling with hunger at this time, if he hadn't been woken up by hunger, it was estimated that he would have been able to sleep for a while.
Just as he was about to turn around and go to the open kitchen to find something to fill his stomach, he heard the sound of a key turning at the door. Lin Zitan wondered if Aunt Li had come back from going out to buy vegetables, so when he turned around, he met Mike's pale blue eyes.
Mike was also slightly stunned when he saw Lin Zitan, but then walked in with a gentle smile and said, "Don't you just get up!"
"Ahem~ yes, you don't have to go to work today?" Lin Zitan was still thinking about the incident he had called last time to get angry, seeing that although Mike had been missing for three days, he came back as if nothing had happened, presumably his business troubles had been solved.
"Smack~" Mike walked over and threw a car key on the coffee table in front of Lin Zitan, and then said happily: "Why, last time I said I would give you a car, but your mother didn't let me, and I didn't win the lottery because I saw you, so this should be a real birthday gift!"
"This... Isn't it okay?" Lin Zitan turned around to look at the key on the coffee table, which was an Audi car key, and thought to himself, why did this person suddenly be so kind to me?
"Take it and drive it, when you are an adult, you must always look like an adult! You can also save face when you go out with friends!" Mike finished speaking, and walked up the stairs on the second floor, leaving Lin Zitan looking at the car keys on the coffee table a little stunned.
To be honest, he was tired of driving his mother's Camry, and as a man, how could anyone not like cars, Lin Zitan only hesitated for a while, then picked up the car key and walked to the door excitedly, just about to go out, he remembered that he was still wearing home clothes, so he quickly turned around and took his coat from the hanger, wrapped in a down jacket and went out.
As soon as Lin Zitan walked out of the gate, he saw the black Audi parked on the side of the road in front of their house, studied it carefully, and wrote an A6 on the back tail.
"Hold the grass, it's still Audi A6!" Lin Zitan exclaimed a little, in his previous life and in this life, Lin Zitan has not touched one or two new cars, this Audi A6 is also his first car in the real sense, he hurriedly opened the door and sat in, touched the steering wheel, and tried the brakes and clutch, everything is very smooth, he can finally understand why Zhang Jing likes to drive luxury cars so much, although his Audi cannot be compared with Zhang Jing's cars, but compared to Li Manrui's broken car, it is much better!
Mike watched Lin Zitan walk out from the balcony, he was quite happy playing in the new car alone, and he didn't feel that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he thought: It's just a child! Fortunately, this time the matter was finally solved smoothly, anyway, he was not ready to buy in large quantities in a short period of time, so what he had to do in the near future was to continue to maintain family harmony!
Mike looked at it for a moment, then turned around and went to his study to go about his own business. Lin Zitan tried to start the car, the sound of the engine sounded much lower than the volume of Li Manrui's car on such a cold day, thinking that he didn't take the house key, and it was boring to go back to Mike at this time, so he drove his new car to Li Manrui's restaurant.
Although it was noon, Li Manrui's restaurant was not very busy due to the holiday, although many old Americans have begun to learn to drag their families out to eat, but on days like Christmas, most of them still choose to reunite at home, and the general restaurant will choose to close its doors on such days, and even many large shopping malls will close for half a day, only Chinese restaurants are eager to open 365 days a year without closing.
When Lin Zi arrived, Li Manrui was sitting leisurely at the cashier to settle accounts, the Taiwanese female manager was on vacation, and there were only three people left in Qitai, because they were not busy, all three of them sat in the corner and folded napkins. When one of the girls saw Lin Zitan coming in, she said loudly: "Yo, the handsome guy is here!"
Lin Zitan smiled faintly at the few people over there, and when he turned around, he saw Li Manrui standing up from his seat, looking at him lovingly and saying, "How is it?
"Uh, I really haven't eaten!" Lin Zitan thought that he was about to eat when he ran into Mike coming back, because of the fresh car, he actually forgot about eating.
"Then what do you want to eat, I'll ask the kitchen to make some for you~" Li Manrui hurriedly said.
"I don't need to do it in the kitchen, I'll go to the sushi bar and eat two rolls by myself!" Lin Zitan hurriedly pulled Li Manrui, who was about to go to the kitchen, and said.
"Are you still going to pack sushi?" Qitai, who called him a handsome guy just now, came over and said with a smile, this girl is the newly recruited female Qitai.
"I'll watch it often, I'll try it myself~" As he spoke, Lin Zitan had already walked towards Sushi Bar.
"Oops, the little boss is here~" The sushi chef walked over from the back kitchen with half of the freshly killed salmon in his hand, and hurriedly said when he saw him.
"Hey, just call me Xiaolin!" Lin Zitan chuckled.
"What do you want to eat?" Brother will wrap it for you!" The sushi chef has been here for so long, and he sees that Lin Zitan is not a gentleman, he talks and acts like an adult, and he is polite to these masters on weekdays, so he also calls Lin Zitan a brother.
"No, no, you're busy with you, I'll just wrap two rolls to fill my stomach by myself, I won't delay your business here, right?"
"It's okay, you get yours, I'll kill a fish!" The sushi chef took out the cutting board of the master on vacation, and while busy with his own work, he instructed Lin Zitan on his techniques from time to time, and after a while, Lin Zitan made two or three vegetable sushi rolls.
"Why don't you wrap fish and meat? It's not just salmon that just arrived, there are tuna, and sea urchins, how can you pack some worthless vegetables? It will really save your mother money!" The female enterprise platform who was talking to Lin Zitan just now came over and stood in front of the workbench to watch Lin Zitan's rolls, and saw that he had only wrapped a few California rolls for a long time, and couldn't help but speak.
"I don't like sashimi very much!" Lin Zitan smiled slightly and said softly.
"Oh~ hehe, that's it!" The girl looked at Lin Zitan and didn't like to talk much, so she walked away with interest.
"This girl doesn't want to soak you, does she?" said the sushi chef with a smile as she glanced at the woman who had left with a smile.
"Hehe, how is it possible!" Lin Zi said noncommittally embarrassed.
"When the young man grows up, he will soon be able to ask your mother to marry you a daughter-in-law, what are you shy!" the sushi chef couldn't help but joke when he saw him embarrassed.
"Don't laugh, how old am I?" Lin Zitan said as he put his wrapped sushi rolls on a plate, grabbed a little ginger slices from the ginger box, pulled a little mustard, walked to the bar and mixed it with soy sauce, sat down and ate it in a big gulp.
While eating, I suddenly heard Li Manrui say loudly at the cash register: "Daniel, Mike just called and said that he bought you a car?"
