"Lao Chen, I've worked hard for you this time, let's go, let's find a place to have a big meal and then go back to the hotel, at the end of this day, I almost didn't starve to death." ”
patted Chen Zhiping on the shoulder, Li Wenxiu was really hungry, he slept on the plane, except for drinking two glasses of water in the middle, he didn't even eat the airline meal, and his stomach was already rumbling at this time.
Originally, he was thinking that he would solve a meal on the plane, but who knew that as soon as he fell asleep, his head would be dizzy all the time, and he had no appetite at all.
When I was hungry and wanted to eat, I flew across time zones, making the day not day, and the night not night, and the whole person's biological clock was reversed, which was somewhat uncomfortable.
Chen Zhiping flew on both sides, naturally knew Li Wenxiu's feelings, smiled, and took the surname Li Dao from Li Wenxiu:
"That Cheng, I know there is a Chinese restaurant nearby, the taste is very good, when I went to school here, I didn't go to the boss to eat, I went to visit yesterday, the store is still there, that is, the boss has retired, and now the boss is his son. ”
"Okay, Lao Chen, you still have a lot of stories here, so hurry up. ”
Li Wenxiu has read Chen Zhiping's resume, and naturally knows that this guy has been in Los Angeles, and it is not unusual to have acquaintances here.
It is true that the United States is a developed country, but it is difficult to move an inch without money, and the humane society is not only in China, but even not bad at all in this kind of developed country.
Chen Zhiping was studying in the United States back then, and Li Wenxiu always felt that this guy was definitely not as simple as written on his resume, and this time he came to the United States, maybe there was something he had to deal with.
This is also the reason why Li Wenxiu asked Chen Zhiping to come over.
When the two got out of the airport, they took a taxi directly to the Chinatown in the city center, and Li Wenxiu was the first time he came to the United States.
This country, which claims to be a capitalist paradise and a democratic country, Li Wenxiu should take a good look at it.
I'll introduce you to two people who met when they were students, and they used to work here as students, and it's been more than ten years since they blinked. ”
In fact, Li Wenxiu could see that Chen Zhiping was still a little nostalgic, and when he entered the Chinese restaurant, Li Wenxiu found that Chen Zhiping was not lying, and he didn't eat the food, but just the smell that permeated from the back kitchen, the master's craftsmanship should not be wrong.
Don't look at a big place like Los Angeles, there are a lot of Chinese, but it's really not so easy to eat an authentic Chinese meal.
There is no shortage of ingredients, and the key is that the taste is missing.
"Brother Chen, are you here? Hurry up, find a place to sit. ”
The boss is a young man with a big belly, about in his early thirties, although he speaks Chinese in his mouth, but the taste is still a little different, it is estimated that he has been in the United States for too long and has not communicated much with people in China.
This situation is still relatively common in the United States, usually the descendants of immigrant families, can speak Chinese is relatively rare, if not the family education origin, many children can not even speak Chinese, can speak good even less.
This young man can speak fluent Chinese, which is actually an excellent situation in comparison, although Li Wenxiu is somewhat unkind of to see this kind of person, but people's lives are like this, but he will not open his mouth to say a fake foreign devil.
smiled.
When Chen Zhiping put down his luggage, the two followed the man to find a seat in the corner and sit down.
The area of the hotel is not very large, but it is not small, there are about twenty or thirty tables in the room, the style is quite good, but there are no people in the store now, it may be the reason why it has not yet arrived.
Li Wenxiu raised his hand and glanced at the time on his wrist, his mind was still a little confused at this time, and when he realized that something was wrong with the time, he remembered that the time zone was not right, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and glanced at the clock dial hanging on the wall of the room, just past 10 o'clock, and it was not yet 11 o'clock.
"Xiao Tang, I haven't seen you for so many years, how is Uncle Tang? I haven't seen it for more than ten years in the blink of an eye, I think you are also blessed now. ”
Chen Zhiping chatted with the hotel owner very familiarly, Li Wenxiu didn't talk, in addition to the owner of the restaurant, there are also a few young people in the store, all of them are yellow faces, about early twenties, it is estimated that nine times out of ten are the same as Chen Zhiping at the beginning, they are all international students who work as temporary workers here.
"Fa Fu, Fa Fu, Brother Chen, you are still the same, I went back to tell my dad last night that you were back, he still doesn't believe it, he has to ask you to have a meal with him, he is still like that, but he is a lot older.
A few years ago, I had an operation because of physical reasons, and I didn't work in the hotel in the past few years, and I have almost cultivated about it, but I am old, and I am always clamoring to go back to China to see, and I am also very busy here, how can I have time to go back with him.
But when this time is over, I plan to take him back to see how many years have passed, and I haven't been to China yet.
Brother Chen, you came back to the United States this time, it's a matter of work, right?"
Li Wenxiu is quite touched, Chinese people have always had the idea of returning to their roots, even if they are Chinese who have gone out of nationality, this boss surnamed Tang and his father are nine times out of ten because he wants to go back to his homeland to see.
After speaking, the boss surnamed Tang glanced at Li Wenxiu, the two of them were still carrying luggage, and they looked like they had just come over from the plane, but they guessed well, and they were quite a person who could observe words and feelings.
Hehe smiled, Chen Zhiping introduced people to know: "I'll introduce you to someone, this is my boss, surnamed Li, your name is Mr. Li, this time I came to the United States, mainly on work, I will go back in a few days, if I have the opportunity, I will have a meal with Uncle Tang, and when you return to China, contact me again, so many years, I will be taken care of by you, and I should also do my best to be a landlord."
Boss, this is Tang Sheng, the owner of a Chinese restaurant, I squeezed into a bed with him back then. ”
Hearing Chen Zhiping's introduction, Li Wenxiu's face was very calm, and there was no big fluctuation, but it was different when it fell into Tang Sheng's ears.
Opening a restaurant is originally a service industry, and it is impossible for him to meet people without thousands of children and eight hundred, both white and yellow people, and naturally he can see at a glance that Li Wenxiu is not very old.
Although a man's appearance is worse than his actual age, Li Wenxiu is really young, and he is definitely not the kind of young who is maintained.
Such a young man would be Chen Zhiping's boss, this is not ordinary, Chen Zhiping was a powerful character in the circle of international students back then, after all, he came to California from China to study, and he was a graduate of a school like USC, and he was an elite when he returned to China, even in Hong Kong, he should be not bad.
Since this young man is Chen Zhiping's boss, his identity may not be as simple as it seems, at least he must be a billionaire.
It's not easy!
"Hello, hello! The contemptible surname is Tang, Mr. Li, I am fortunate to meet you!"
"Hello, Boss Tang, Lao Chen specially introduced me to your place for dinner, I heard that Boss Tang's craftsmanship is very good, and I will trouble you today." ”
"No trouble, no trouble, other places to meet old acquaintances, this is a happy event in life, today I personally cooked, good hospitality two, a slight inappropriateness and hope to forgive. ”
The two shook hands and exchanged a few casual greetings, Tang Sheng really went to the back kitchen to prepare food, he was also a cheerful person, and he felt good to Li Wenxiu.
