19. Dinner for three

West Steakhouse, which focuses on steaks, has few main dishes other than a variety of steaks.

When Le Xiaoxiao and Yan Zhen arrived at West, Zhai Xu was sitting alone in his seat on the phone. Seeing the two of them come in, Zhai Xu's frowning brows soothed a little, made a gesture for them to sit down, and said intermittently into the phone: "I know that the shape is not good, but it must not be reduced...... I won't sign it, I don't have to send it over...... Okay, headcount I can think about it, bring the plan over tomorrow. Okay, got it, see you tomorrow. ”

Hung up the phone, Zhai Xu scolded "**" in a low voice, and his face was quite unsightly.

"What's the matter, is there anything else that can be difficult to stop Mr. Zhai?" Yan Zhen was in a good mood and joked.

Zhai Xu took a sip of ice water, shook his head and said: "Capitalists, if you want the horses to run, and you want the horses not to eat grass, you want to compress R&D funds all day long. You know, Internet wages are so high, it's hard to find good engineers. ”

When Yan Zhen heard about the R&D funds, he restrained his smile and asked with a straight face: "Zhai Xu, seriously, is it to collect my company?" ”

"Don't think about it." Zhai Xu waved his hand, his expression softened a little, "Big companies, you know, make reports every quarter, and do these every quarter." Mu Rui has a lot of cash, and there are a lot of acquisitions every year, so you are considered a small head. The shareholders are also quite satisfied with this acquisition, after all, you bring customers here, and you will make a profit when you come. ”

"Zhai Xu, I don't want you to be embarrassed......" Yan Zhen opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Zhai Xu with a smile. Zhai Xu beckoned to the waiter and said, "Okay, capitalists won't trade at a loss." Invite me to dinner, even if you repay my favor, don't mention it again in the future, OK? ”

Yan Zhen finally smiled and said, "Okay, my brother doesn't talk much nonsense." ”

"That's pretty much it." Zhai Xu handed the menu with only one piece of paper to Le Xiaoxiao, but continued to talk to Yan Zhen, "What happened to Li Mi?" ”

"I went to court, I originally planned to give her all the money, after all, she has been with me for so many years, and in the end, it shouldn't be too ugly. Money, just earn it. Bai Sakura said that she would deal with it, and she would let it be. Yan Zhen didn't seem to have any worries.

"Sakura is a good lawyer and has a lot of connections. You can rest assured. Zhai Xu nodded, seeing that Yan Zhen didn't want to say any more, so he didn't ask in detail, and finally turned his head to Le Xiaoxiao and said, "And you, you said that you invited me to dinner, but what happened?" If I hadn't come to the door, I'd have relied on it, wouldn't I? ”

I thought I just had to eat with me and didn't need to talk with me......

Le Xiaoxiao hurriedly explained: "No, no, isn't this the company moving recently, and I'm afraid of disturbing Mr. Zhai, how can I speak." ”

Zhai Xu narrowed his eyes and stared at Le Xiaoxiao, hooked the corners of his mouth, and repeated in a deep voice: "You don't plan to lose it?" ”

It's just that I'm going to get rid of it, what is it if I suddenly ask you to dinner, people can have bad intentions for me......

"No ......" Le Xiaoxiao lowered her head slightly, not knowing that her whole ears turned red as soon as she lied.

Zhai Xu laughed heavily and said, "Okay." Spare you, today you pay for the food, and the old face pays for the wine. ”

Le Xiaoxiao silently recalled how much credit card she had, and mourned in silence at her newly raised salary.

"You're spending my money, don't be so sad." Zhai Xu looked at Le Xiaoxiao's distressed look and said with a smile, "You have a dividend without changing your work, it is all from our company, and I have shares." ”

Le Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered a question, isn't Zhai Xu from Lianyun Technology, and suddenly became his boss? If he becomes his own boss, will he have the final say in the salary payment in the future......

"That, Zhai Xu, let me ask a question, aren't you from Lianyun, how did you become Mu Rui's vice president?"

"I am a small shareholder of Lianyun, a nominal technical consultant, and I will not go once a year and a half. Mu Rui is my old camp, in fact, I have been working in Mu Rui's US headquarters before, and then transferred to China to be responsible for research and development. Zhai Xu explained his work, and he didn't know if he saw through Le Xiaoxiao's thoughts, so he changed his words and said, "If you want to raise your salary, invite me to dinner in the future." ”

"Oh." As soon as Le Xiaoxiao responded in a daze, she heard Yan Zhen laugh out loud next to her.

"Zhai Xu, don't bully our children. Where do you care if you get her salary as a small engineer? Xiaoxiao ignored him and ordered food quickly. ”

Zhai Xu's big liar! Le Xiaoxiao couldn't control it, would Zhai Xu see the face of the two of them as friends, and give himself a salary increase or something...... has even begun to pull Zhai Xu's thigh in his head and beg for a salary......

"Really?" Le Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhai Xu hesitantly.

Zhai Xu's face was unfathomable, and when he saw Le Xiaoxiao looking over, he chuckled, stretched out his finger and pointed to the main dish on the menu, and said leisurely: "Although you girls are more reserved and willing to order filet, I still want to recommend his ribeye steak." A rare authentic North American style, try it and you will know how good it is. ”

"Good. You can order it, I don't have anything to eat, it's okay. Le Xiaoxiao simply didn't bother anymore, she still trusted Zhai Xu's choice in eating.

After a while, when the steak was served, Le Xiaoxiao was completely stunned! This is completely beyond her knowledge of the average steak.

A huge piece of steak, about the size of Le Xiaoxiao's hands together, two fingers thick, with neat brown textures left by beautiful baking sheets on it, and a thin layer of juice and butter under the steak exudes a particularly simple and charming meat aroma.

Le Xiaoxiao was in a daze at the steak, Zhai Xu said: "550 grams, it's normal to eat it, don't force it." ”

The waiter handed over the steak knife next to him, and Le Xiaoxiao entered his mouth from the first bite of meat, so he didn't want to talk about Zhai Xu and Yan Zhen anymore. Zhai Xu gave Le Xiaoxiao a five-minute cook, the appearance was black and brown with the burnt fragrance of charcoal, but when he cut the inside, it was a beautiful pink, and there was no blood. The delicate shredded meat is sandwiched with elastic tendons, and when you bite into it, the rich juice and oil flowers explode in the mouth, which is tender and chewy, and full of meaty aroma.

"Is it delicious?" Zhai Xu poured a glass of wine for Le Xiaoxiao, the rich and firm tannins of Bordeaux wine are the most suitable for steak, and Zhai Xu never hesitates to give his taste buds the best enjoyment.

"Uh-huh." Le Xiaoxiao couldn't open her mouth, so she had to nod.

"Then eat more. Mashed potatoes and creamy spinach are both classic steak side dishes. Zhai Xu pushed over two small bowls of side dishes, and watched Le Xiaoxiao eat happily with a smile, "Actually, I prefer steak to French food." Simple and straightforward. ”

Although the dinner of one woman and two men, three people, makes people look weird, but the result is unexpected, and the meal is enjoyable. Yan Zhen and Zhai Xu chatted about industry trends, the company's prospects, and classmates who went their separate ways. Le Xiaoxiao concentrated on eating, and by the way, she silently spied a higher level of views and vision.

When Le Xiaoxiao finally swallowed the last bite of steak, rubbed her bulging belly and leaned back on the chair, not wanting to move a finger, Zhai Xu's eyes when he looked at Le Xiaoxiao changed.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a bold girl eating." Zhai Xu's face couldn't help but overflow with laughter.

"It's delicious." Le Xiaoxiao rubbed her stomach, as if she had eaten too much, her stomach was so swollen, and she would lose weight when she went back.

"Be careful, don't take the car for a while, let's walk more." Zhai Xu put down the napkin and waved his hand to call the waiter to pay.

Le Xiaoxiao hurriedly sat up straight and went to rummage through her wallet in her bag. As a result, I saw that Zhai Xu had already signed the bill brought by the waiter.

"Hey, didn't I have a treat?" Le Xiaoxiao asked, holding her wallet.

Zhai Xu hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Just kidding, how can you make a girl pay." It's just my new boss who invites you to dinner. ”

"How good is this, I obviously said I wanted to invite you to dinner." Le Xiaoxiao felt that she still owed Zhai Xu a favor, although she thought about it, she still couldn't help it.

"I have to insist on asking you to invite you next time, and the future will be long." Zhai Xu said but suddenly said in a correct tone, "Xiaoxiao, although I don't care about your salary increase, I am optimistic about your development, and Lianyun's colleagues have a good evaluation of you." ”

"Ah, thank you." Le Xiaoxiao didn't expect Zhai Xu to talk about work again, and she was caught off guard, but she was happy to be recognized.

"So I want to remind you that there will be no old face to protect you in the future. At Mu Rui, if you don't fight for it, you have nothing. You have potential, but if you still want to develop, you have to work hard to change your character. Zhai Xu looked at Le Xiaoxiao, not as lazy as he was usually used to, but with a stern face, "I won't take any special care of you in the company, but you can talk to me if you have any ideas." ”

"Yes, got it." Le Xiaoxiao was a little confused, Zhai Xu's conversion was a bit fast, and Yan Zhen ......, "Boss Yan, you?" ”

Yan Zhen nodded and said, "Well, I'll leave Mu Rui after a while, when everyone is stable." ”

"Why?"

Without waiting for Yan Zhen to speak, Zhai Xu said: "If Yan Zhen wanted to work in a large company, he would have gone a long time ago." He's not that kind of person. ”

Le Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Zhen and then at Zhai Xu, and seemed to understand what Zhai Xu meant, if Zhai Xu is an outstanding manager, everyone will run quickly according to the rules he draws, then Yan Zhen is a person who doesn't like to work under the rules, he will eventually fly freely and lay a piece of his own world.

Le Xiaoxiao thanked Yan Zhen from the bottom of her heart for giving herself such a comfortable and warm working environment when she first entered the workplace. And he will eventually leave Yan Zhen's wings and fight for the future he wants.

The future? Le Xiaoxiao looked at his new boss, and Zhai Xu's tall back in a suit was right in front of him.
