Chapter 57: Words Don't Speculate (3/5 Update)
Liu Dahai was not in a hurry, and was ready to slowly look for someone who could appreciate his interesting soul, but his parents couldn't wait, so they asked people everywhere to ask if there were any better girls. No, I inquired about Li Qinghuan, and I heard that this girl is very beautiful, and she went to work in a large company in Pengcheng with a high income.
The old couple slapped their thighs, this is a perfect match for their son! It just so happened that Liu Dahai's father's younger brother was Li Qinghuan's father's top boss, so he asked him to help make peace, so today's meeting was made.
Liu Dahai was a little unhappy at first, feeling that Li Qinghuan was not very stable working in a private company, and he wanted to find a civil servant or a public institution to work. However, after he saw Li Qinghuan's photo, he immediately changed his mind. I already have an interesting soul, and it seems good to find a good-looking skin for my other half......
For today's meeting, Liu Dahai made some careful preparations and came to the appointed place early. He also learned the lessons of the past and decided to be generous once again to make a good impression on the other party.
The first time I saw him, of course, I wanted to invite someone to dinner, Liu Dahai thought about it for a long time and decided to treat him to Dai Mei hot pot. This is a common small hot pot in Pengcheng, a small pot for one person, the taste is optional, the dishes are all small portions, and you can order them at any time.
The per capita consumption of this kind of hot pot basically does not exceed 50 yuan, but for Liu Dahai, it is rare to be generous.
But although he picks, he also has the demeanor he should have, and he used to pay for it when he met and ate with girls, and he never thought about AA or letting the other party pay for it. From this point of view, it's pretty good.
When Li Qinghuan received Liu Dahai's text message and saw the contents, he was a little stunned.
"Hello Li Qinghuan, I'm Liu Dahai, I listened to the introduction of my family, and I want to invite you to have a meal together tonight and meet and get to know each other. Location: Dai Mei Hot Pot City, XXXX Road, time: 6 o'clock. ”
Dai Mei Hot Pot City ...... Li Qinghuan didn't know that when she first came to Pengcheng, she also went to eat. However, since entering Huashang International, especially following Wang Ye, I have never been to such a place.
Liu Ruomei also stretched out her head to look at the text message, laughed out loud, and said, "You fellow is very cute, I really don't know what to think." This is a blind date, and I actually invited a girl to eat hot pot, and I went to this kind of place to eat. ”
"Again, it's not a blind date, it's just getting to know a fellow countryman and going through the motions. Li Qinghuan emphasized.
When Li Qinghuan and Liu Ruomei came to the agreed Dai Mei Hot Pot City, Liu Dahai had already sat there and waited for a long time.
Seeing Li Qinghuan coming from afar, Liu Dahai's eyes lit up, and the real person looked more beautiful and temperamental than in the photo.
However, when he saw Liu Ruomei who came with Li Qinghuan, he was a little unhappy. I thought, this kind of blind date, why bring a friend over, isn't this another increase in the cost of a person's meal.
However, Liu Dahai did not express it, but stood up with a smile and greeted Li Qinghuan: "You are Li Qinghuan, I am Liu Dahai." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Li Qinghuan.
Li Qinghuan didn't stretch out his hand, but just said, "Hello." ”
Liu Ruomei next to her looked at Liu Dahai standing there with his hand stretched out awkwardly, and laughed out loud with a "poof", she said jokingly: "Handsome guy, don't you know that when a strange man and woman meet for the first time, the man can't take the initiative to shake hands? This is basic etiquette." ”
Liu Dahai sneered: "Hehe, I really don't know." ”
After sitting down, he began to order, Liu Dahai handed over the order list and said, "Look at what you want to eat, order whatever you want!"
Li Qinghuan didn't refuse, took it casually, and handed it to Liu Ruomei: "You look at it, order less, I don't want to eat too much at night." ”
Dai Mei hot pot ordering is a large printed order list, just use a pencil to tick the dish you want on it. Liu Ruomei held a pencil and said while reading: "I didn't feel it a few years ago, but now I look at this menu, how can I feel so cheap!"
The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, originally Liu Dahai was taught by the eldest sister of the unit last time that he was too picky, and he was allergic to words such as "cheap", "picky" and "stingy". Now I heard Liu Ruomei say that the food here is cheap, I am very unhappy, I think it's not enough to invite you to eat hot pot, the per capita consumption here is 50 yuan!
In fact, both of them are right, but they have different consumption views. Liu Ruomei is now following Wang Ye, going in and out of five-star hotels, eating Michelin restaurants, high-end Chinese food and the like. Now in her eyes, Dai Mei hot pot is so cheap that she doesn't dare to eat it.
A plate of freshly cut mutton is 5 yuan, a plate of hairy belly is 3 yuan, and vegetables are all 1.5 yuan......
She was a little afraid to order such cheap meat, who knows what it was. I ordered a few plates of vegetables and put the menu down. Originally, she came here to be curious, and wanted to have a good time, but she didn't come to eat.
After reading the dishes ordered by Liu Ruomei, Liu Dahai was still quite satisfied, this little girl is still quite eye-catching. However, in order to show his generosity, Liu Dahai picked up the menu and ordered a meat dish.
After the food was served, the three of them chatted while eating.
Liu Dahai began to gush: "I am now working in a unit under the jurisdiction of the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, you know, this is a public institution, an iron rice bowl! And our unit is very well treated, employees like me who have just entered the company have more than 10,000 yuan a month." And our unit has five insurances and one housing fund, you know what five insurances and one housing fund are, your private company boss should be reluctant to buy it for you, haha......"
Li Qinghuan smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Liu, I'm afraid you have some misunderstandings about private companies. Our company also has five insurances and one housing fund. ”
"Oh, really? Then your boss is quite generous, but he should have bought it according to the minimum income standard in Pengcheng. is also five insurances and one housing fund, and the difference is quite big. ”
Liu Dahai also understands a little, some small companies, say that they buy five insurances and one housing fund for employees, but in fact, they buy it according to the minimum wage standard stipulated by Pengcheng City, so the fee paid is much less.
Too lazy to argue with him, Li Qinghuan took a green vegetable and put it in his mouth.
Liu Ruomei was not convinced, how could this person be like this, just an ordinary employee of a small broken public institution, where did he get his sense of superiority.
So he opened his mouth and said, "Do you know, in our company, the boss said a word. That is, if the monthly income is 10,000 yuan, he will leave the company by himself, because this income means that his work efficiency is extremely low, and his performance ranks last!
Liu Dahai is not stupid, of course he heard the meaning of Liu Ruomei's words, which means that he has a low salary. And if you say that you have to roll up and leave with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan, you will sneer at this Liu Dahai, and you must be fooling. It is estimated that it is an insurance company or a real estate agent, and what kind of income is not capped to give employees chicken blood.
But he is a personable man, how can he quarrel with a little girl, so he no longer paid attention to Liu Ruomei, turned his head to Li Qinghuan and said: "Listen to my uncle, you also graduated from a regular university, since you have a diploma, why are you mixing in a private company, listen to me, resign and review for a year, take the national examination, and take a civil service position in the future, this is the right way." ”
Originally, Li Qinghuan came over this time because of her feelings, but she just knew an ordinary friend, and she didn't have any prejudice against Liu Dahai, of course, she didn't have any good feelings.
But now Liu Dahai's words made her disgusted. When you meet for the first time, you can't even be a friend, who do you think you are, and you are still pointing fingers at other people's career development!
Without raising his head, he said: "Mr. Liu, let's worry about yourself first, you are 28 this year, and you are not too young." In a big city like Pengcheng, life is not easy, you can't mix for a few years, and you can't even afford to buy your own house. ”
In fact, Li Qinghuan's words are also well-intentioned, she knows that it is not easy for a foreigner to work hard in a big city. If you want to establish yourself in a big city, it is even more difficult.
I don't know how many young people came here with enthusiasm, mixed for a few years, or even more than ten years later, a few families are still nested in a rented peasant house, how can such a life be happy.
But Liu Dahai had a different understanding of this, and he felt very disappointed. I didn't expect this girl who looks beautiful and temperamental to be so vulgar, and her mouth is the house. Isn't this the kind of material girl that is common nowadays!
So he sarcastically said: "Isn't the emphasis on equality between men and women now? Why do you girls still keep their mouths shut about houses, cars, and tickets when looking for a partner?" I'm actually curious to know, when you ask me if I have a house, don't you want to ask yourself, do you have a house yourself?"
Li Qinghuan and Liu Ruomei were a little dumbfounded, as if they didn't say anything, why did this person react so much.
"Mr. Liu, please pay attention, I didn't mean to come to find a partner, but I had to come because of the affection of my family. If this has caused you to misunderstand, I apologize to you. Li Qinghuan said sincerely, she didn't want to make everyone unhappy because of this misunderstanding.
Liu Ruomei was also extremely disappointed, she was originally here to join in the fun, but she didn't expect to meet such a person, who was stingy and cautious. couldn't help but say: "Don't say it, we Qinghuan really have, not only does the company share a suite for free, but with Qinghuan's income, a house in any community in Pengcheng can afford it!"
She wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by Li Qinghuan.
Without speculating for more than half a sentence, Li Qinghuan got up and said: "It's a pleasure to meet you, we are all from the same city, let's get to know a fellow villager today." ”
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, and then he remembered something, opened his handbag, took out two hundred-dollar bills from his wallet, and put them on the table.
"I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. After speaking, he turned around and left with Liu Ruomei.
Liu Dahai watched the two of them leave with his mouth open, not knowing what he said wrong.
