Text Text_Chapter 388
Seeing the relationship between Zheng Wenyuan and Zhou Li, they were slightly closer than passers-by, and everyone was also embarrassed.
However, since it has already been encountered, Zheng Wenyuan doesn't want everyone to bother to change places to eat.
Coincidentally, the box on the third floor booked by Chanda is next to the box where Zhou Li and Lu Wenzhong used the banquet, and there is an outer balcony to overlook the sea of flowers in Huaihai Road Park at this time. The tired look could be seen clearly, and Chen Li thought to himself that it was really better to directly change places to eat.
Chen Li and Zheng Wenyuan sat back in the box, and only then did they notice that the box where they and Zhou Li had hosted Lu Wenzhong was actually separated by a wooden and upholstered screen wall, and even the guests could open the screen wall to make a large box if necessary.
At this time, everyone didn't have the heart to taste the delicious food of this private restaurant, drink and talk freely, Chen Li called the waiter over, ordered a few characteristic home-cooked dishes in Pujiang, and didn't order the wine, so he asked the waiter to take the menu down and send the meal as soon as possible, so that they could finish eating and leave.
Every dish in this private restaurant is much higher than that of the restaurant outside, but no matter how high the price is, how high can the home-cooked dishes be, and the cost of a table of dishes is more than 1,000 yuan.
Although there is no minimum consumption in the box here, but the guests who can come over to eat are either rich or expensive, and the guests who come to eat have psychological expectations, it is common to consume one or two hundred thousand dishes on a table, and the waiter probably did not see them like Chen Li and they were so picky, and their faces were a little ugly when they took the order menu, and they hesitated for a long time, and asked Zhou Bin to stare twice before going out of the door.
"Brothers, are you dissatisfied with the food in our plum garden, or what?" The waiter had just come downstairs for a while, and a woman in her thirties, who looked like a restaurant sales manager, walked over in a dark blue professional skirt and said in a loud voice, " Or maybe you are not very clear about the main dish of our plum garden, I came to introduce to you now that the Qingming Festival has just passed, the saury is still very tender, rush our plum garden to give back to the old customers, the authentic river knife is at a special price, only sold a thousand catties, it used to be two thousand eight starts, listen to your accent, it should be from other places, you can come to three catties of river knife to taste our braised soft-shelled turtle, but also the specialty of our plum garden, are the wild turtles caught in Qiandao Lake, each one weighs five catties, a whole chop piece of braised braised rice, today is also a special price, only sell two thousand nine hundred and eight puffer fish rice or puffer fish stew, is also the feature of our store, two hundred and sixty-eight puffer fish rice per guestOne for each of you?"
"Why, if we don't order these, won't you entertain them?" Zhou Bin knocked on the table and asked.
"What's the matter, I'm not afraid that you won't know the specialties of our plum garden, so I came here to introduce them to you?" said the restaurant manager with a smile.
Chen Li asked Zhou Bin to say a few words, seeing that the restaurant manager was standing at the door and didn't go out, and he didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he let the people in the box next door see the joke, and said to the restaurant manager: "Let's add another case of puffer fish rice per person, we have something to do later, let's speed up the serving"
"Our braised soft-shelled turtle is really a must, it's really not expensive, and have you forgotten to order the drink, you can take a look at the wine list here," the restaurant manager added.
"Are you still finished?" When this happened today, everyone was already in an uncomfortable mood, and seeing the restaurant manager's endless squeeze, Zhou Bin waved impatiently and urged her to go out quickly.
"It's really annoying, hasn't this girl ever seen us pick the door like this before?" Zhou Bin kicked the restaurant manager out, picked up cigarettes and distributed them to everyone, and said self-deprecatingly, "According to me, let's not order the puffer fish rice, and see if she can really open her face and drive us out." ”
"Pull it down, we can be considered wealthy people, can we not be so stingy? Today's meal, I will pay for you out of my own pocket. Chen Li said with a smile.
"Then I have to go out and order a few catties of saury, braised and steamed, listen to this girl's introduction, braised wild soft-shelled turtle seems to be really good" Zhou Bin smiled and gestured to stand up and add vegetables.
Chen Li picked up the dishes on the table and made a gesture to throw them over, so that Zhou Bin could sit down honestly.
At this time, two waiters pushed the food delivery cart and loaded the cold dishes on the table, and the restaurant manager who was annoying to see people pushed the door and walked in, holding a few ** sake in his hand, Chen Li thought that she was not knowledgeable enough and insisted on selling, and he was also slightly annoyed, frowning and saying, "We don't seem to have any drinks." ”
"This drink was ordered by the guest in the box next door for you, and I also helped you add a few dishes, and your consumption today will be hung on the account of the guest next door, and you don't need to pay. Said the restaurant manager.
Chen Li glanced at Zheng Wenyuan and did not speak.
Zhou Bin pointed at Chen Li and said with a smile: "Yes, let you pick the door like this, and let us follow Brother Zheng to a white meal." ”
Chen Li asked Zheng Wenyuan in a low voice: "You and Zhou Li, are you not communicating about anything now, just go our separate ways?"
Zheng Wenyuan was quite embarrassed when he was kicked out of Wanbang by Han Zirui, but now not to mention Zheng Wenyuan's shareholding in Xinchaorui Business and Dashang Capital, only the shares of the listed company Xinrui City held by him are worth 800 million, if Zhou Li knows this, even if he doesn't know and doesn't care about the identities of other people, he should know that they don't want to be led by the nose by the restaurant manager, not because they are shy.
And Zhou Li was in the box next door, and they all the consumption in Meiyuan today, maybe she was also worried that Zheng Wenyuan would have a bad temper and conflict with the staff of the restaurant, so that she couldn't get off the stage, right?
Zheng Wenyuan spread his hands and smiled bitterly, saying that the situation between him and Zhou Li was indeed the same as Chen Li guessed.
Chen Li also smiled speechlessly, thinking that Zhou Li didn't know anything about Zheng Wenyuan's situation at this time, except that the couple did not communicate, Zhou Li should have deliberately kept a distance from Zheng Wenyuan's family and circle of friends, otherwise it would be impossible for them to know nothing, and it was really okay for the couple to do this.
Besides, Zhou Li, a woman, is really indifferent, even if Zheng Wenyuan is really down, she is not afraid that Zheng Wenyuan's self-esteem will be hit, and she will not be able to eat this meal with them, and she will be angry with her actions?
Zheng Wenyuan's helplessness, Chen Li can understand.
Of course, since the restaurant manager had already brought the wine, and Zhou Li didn't want them to entangle with the restaurant staff, Chen Li asked the restaurant manager to bring all the wine.
Sake is an area that Chen Li is not familiar with, and he is not very familiar with the wide variety of sake brands in Japan, but looking at the wine label indicating that this wine is Junmai Daiginjo level, you know that the six ** sake that Zhou Li asked people to come over will definitely not be less than two thousand ** in this kind of restaurant.
"It's really profitable to be a lawyer now!" Zhou Bin took a ** wine, and couldn't help but sigh.
The restaurant manager told them that a new steamed saury was added here, and according to the head, each person has a knife fish weighing four or five taels, and this saury will cost nearly 10,000 yuan, and they have to have more than 20,000 yuan for this meal.
Yongning is considered a top law firm in China, mainly undertaking large economic dispute cases, and all of them are based on the proportion of the value of the case to extract the lawyer's fee for an economic case, millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, hundreds of millions of commissions, it is not surprising, how can the income of the partners of the law firm be low?
Of course, the ability of domestic law firms that can undertake large economic cases is one thing, and the background is definitely not shallow.
The sake is bland, and it is not drunk, with the amount of alcohol they drink, one person and two ** sake is considered to be drunk, but today there is really no mood to drink, drink to the slight fumide, Chen Li is ready to withdraw, so he called the waiter to take the bill and the PS machine, ready to pay the bill and leave.
Chen Li knew that even if he didn't pay the bill, Zheng Wenyuan would not really let Zhou Li pay the bill for them.
However, the waiter went downstairs to get the bill, and after a while, he returned empty-handed, and said, "Miss Zhou has already settled your bill."
Chen Li could only spread his hands towards Zheng Wenyuan, all of them were like this, they could still return the money to Zhou Li, everyone packed up and stood up and left, but they didn't expect them to walk out of the box, and as soon as they went downstairs, they saw Zheng Wenyu and his wife Han Zirui's sister Han Ziwei coming upstairs.
Zheng Wenyu was talking to someone on the phone while going upstairs: "I arrived with Ziwei, I was going upstairs, which box are you in with Zhou Li? I am delayed today, I have to accompany Secretary Geng to a meeting, and I can only get out now, if it weren't for such an important meeting between you and Zhou Li today, how dare I be late? How do you feel about Zhou Li, Zhou Li and Wenyuan are already strangers, and the divorce is a matter of this time, I think you two are very talented." ”
Zheng Wenyu didn't realize that Chen Li and the others were standing at the staircase on the third floor, Han Ziwei dragged him violently, he didn't know what was going on, he still complained, and when he saw Zheng Wenyuan's face, he was stunned.
Chen Li was also quite surprised, he also thought that Zhou Li asked Lu Wenzhong to meet here, what kind of case to borrow Lu Wenzhong's resources, but listening to Zheng Wenyu's tone on the phone, their meal turned out to be a "meeting" in some sense!
Zheng Wenyuan and Zhou Li have not officially divorced, even if Zhou Li secretly has something outside, Zheng Wenyuan may not be able to blame Zhou Li, but Zheng Wenyu and Han Ziwei are involved in this kind of thing, listening to their tone, this meal is even arranged by them, but they are temporarily late, Chen Li thought that Zheng Wenyuan did not kick Zheng Wenyu and Han Ziwei downstairs directly, they must be considered good-tempered.
At this time, the door of the box at the entrance of the corridor was opened, Lu Wenzhong and Zhou Li walked out, and saw Zheng Wenyuan, Chen Li, Zheng Wenyu, and Han Ziwei frozen at the entrance of the corridor, and they were all slightly stunned.
Zhou Li seemed to be still in the dark, and didn't know the true meaning of this meal, and said to Zheng Wenyuan: "Have you finished eating with your friends?"
Zheng Wenyuan was so angry that the blue tendons on his forehead twitched, and he ignored Zhou Li with a dark face.
"It's still early, either get together and have another drink or two. Lu Wenzhong obviously didn't take Zheng Wenyuan in his eyes, Shi Shiran said.
Also, Zheng Wenyu and Han Ziwei are doing this kind of thing behind their backs, so how can outsiders look up to Zheng Wenyuan?
Chen Li wanted to pull Zheng Wenyuan away before Zheng Wenyuan had a seizure, but Zheng Wenyuan said with a dark face: "Okay, then get together with you and have another drink." With that, he walked straight to Zhou Li's box.
Chen Li asked Gao Fengming and Qian Da to accompany Zhou Dahai and they left first, and he and Zhou Bin stayed with Zheng Wenyuan, saving the time when the scene got out of control, and there was no one to help Zheng Wenyuan clean up the scene.
Chen Li glanced at Zheng Wenyuan and Han Ziwei coldly, he was not ashamed of their behavior, and he didn't bother to say a word to them, so he followed behind Zheng Wenyuan with Zhou Bin and walked to the box.
Zhou Li obviously regarded this meal as an ordinary meal, but she didn't expect to realize the intentions of Zheng Wenyu and Han Ziwei, and at this time, when she saw Zheng Wenyuan's temper, since she felt caught off guard, she felt embarrassed, and her beautiful face was also tense and sat back in the box, not knowing how to drive Zheng Wenyuan and them away.
"The river knife in the plum garden is a must, Mr. Zheng accompanied his friends over, and the river knife always has to be tasted," Lu Wenzhong sat down and talked and laughed, and said with a smile, "I asked Lawyer Zhou to order one for you, so that Mr. Zheng's friends who came from afar can try it, Mr. Zheng won't blame me for making a claim, right?"
"If Deputy District Chief Lu pays the bill, we really have to show face, but since this is just a favor made by District Mayor Lu, then forget it, we won't even be able to afford to eat 20,000 yuan of food, and we are not party members Zhou Bin, you go downstairs and settle our account, and by the way, Deputy District Mayor Lu will also settle the account of their table, so that people will think that we are really like officials, and we will eat all the food. Chen Li was really angry when he saw Zheng Wenyuan, so he took Lu Wenzhong's words coldly and asked Zhou Bin to go down and settle the accounts of the two boxes again.
"Who is this?" Lu Wenzhong narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Li and asked.
"Oh, Deputy Secretary-General Zheng and Mr. Han specially arranged this dinner to match you with Lawyer Zhou, but they didn't even introduce our identities to Deputy District Chief Lu?" Chen Li looked coldly at Zheng Wenyu and Han Ziwei, a pair of dog men and women, took out two handfuls from his pocket, shrugged and said, "I forgot that I am not used to carrying business cards with me, so I will introduce myself, I am Chen Li, chairman of the board of directors of Xinchaorui Real Estate, and I used to be in Central Plains Province, and I was taken care of by Governor Zheng Cong, which is a small achievement." Speaking of Xinchaorui, Deputy District Mayor Lu has seen the world, and may not have heard much, Xinrui City Construction Group, a listed company under our group company, has just invested 1.6 billion yuan to acquire an apartment building on Yishan Road, and will vigorously develop its business to Pujiang in the future, and will rely on the care of Deputy District Mayor Lu and Deputy Secretary-General Zheng in the future."
