Chapter 86: Zhou Zijun's Ideals
Looking at the word "snack" written on the signboard of the restaurant, Wang Hongwei's mouth immediately deflated. But because the person who threatened to invite guests was Li Yu, and the main person invited was Zhou Zijun, it was inconvenient for Wang Hongwei to protest, so he could only keep his complaints in his heart.
Li Yu looked at Wang Hongwei, then at Zhou Zijun, and said with a smile: "It's too insincere to invite the two of you to eat snacks." I think the hot mother-in-law next to me has a good faΓ§ade, so let's go there. β
"Spicy granny?" Zhou Zijun's beautiful apricot eyes widened, as if he had heard something terrifying, "No, no, no, the things in that house are very expensive, I work in a restaurant, I know ......"
"Well, I've also heard people say that it seems to be quite expensive...... Wang Hongwei also said with a little humility, he pointed to a "Yuhai Home Cooking" next to him, and said: "Let's go to that one, it's a chain store, and the price is quite appropriate." β
"No need, since you want to have a treat, you can listen to me." Li Yu said, dragging Wang Hongwei with his hand, and walked towards the "spicy mother-in-law" restaurant, Zhou Zijun saw this, and could only follow behind, and persuaded in vain while walking: "Li Yu...... Really ......"
Li Yu himself runs a restaurant, and the price of his medicinal food shop is among the top few in the entire Yuhai. "Spicy Mother-in-law" is actually just a mid-range restaurant, that is, it seems unattainable in the eyes of migrant workers like Zhou Zijun and Wang Hongwei. Li Yu ignored Zhou Zijun's dissuasion, and led the way into the door of the restaurant, Wang Hongwei and Zhou Zijun also followed in with complicated feelings, and sat down as Li Yu found a three-person table.
"What do you want to eat?" Li Yu took the recipe from the waiter, handed it to the two, and asked.
"Uh...... Just some meat. β
Wang Hongwei had the heart to say that he could pick two cheap dishes, but in front of the waiter, how could he say this kind of thing. He didn't dare to pick up the recipe, for fear of being frightened by the price of the dishes inside, so he could only vaguely make a request.
"What about you?" Li Yu turned his head to Zhou Zijun again and asked.
"I ...... I'll do whatever I want......" Zhou Zijun said sneeringly.
"Don't." Li Yu smiled, "I finally want to set the table for a thank-you banquet, you are my teacher, how can you do it if you don't speak?" β
"I really don't know...... Well, or ......" Zhou Zijun hesitated.
Li Yu said: "You say, if there is anything you usually want to eat, let's order it today." β
"I want to eat ......" Zhou Zijun's face suddenly turned red again, and he said in a slurred voice: "We want a chopped pepper fish head, okay...... If it's too expensive, forget it. β
"Uh-huh, no problem." Li Yu said, he opened the recipe and said to the waiter: "Let's have a chopped pepper fish head, I want a bigger one, and then a jar of meat, fried chicken, black pepper beef tenderloin......"
"Li Yu, you're crazy, what are you doing with so many dishes!" Zhou Zijun heard that Li Yu had reported so many names of dishes like practicing his mouth, his face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't care about being reserved, so he hurriedly stopped it. She turned her head and said to the waiter: "These dishes are enough, don't want the black pepper beef tenderloin at the end!" β
Li Yu nodded helplessly to the waiter and said, "Then don't do it...... Why don't we have another water spinach, shall we? β
In the latter sentence, he said it to Zhou Zijun, and there was a bit of begging in his tone, which made Zhou Zijun blush again.
The waiter left with the order menu, Wang Hongwei looked at Li Yu and asked, "What, buddy, you won't win the lottery by buying a lottery ticket, right?" β
"How can someone like me have such good luck?" Li Yu laughed.
Wang Hongwei said: "Then you invite us to such a high-end restaurant and order so many dishes?" This meal will cost at least more than 100 yuan. β
"I'm afraid it's more than that, it costs more than 100 to order these dishes in our restaurant." Zhou Zijun commented very expertly, she said that "our home" does not really refer to her own home, but only to the store where she works, which is also a habitual title.
Li Yu disguised: "It's rare for us to get together once, and we should spend some money." My boss is very good to our employees, and I also got a bonus of 500 yuan this month, just in time to invite you to dinner. β
"Such a good boss? Brother, can you introduce me to work at your place? Wang Hongwei immediately pretended to be pitiful and said.
"By the way, Li Yu, how old are you this year? I heard Mr. He say that you are 18 years old, is it true? Zhou Zijun asked curiously.
Li Yu nodded and said, "Yes, didn't Teacher He say that the two of us are the same year?" β
Zhou Zijun showed a mischievous smile on his face and said: "Actually, my age is fake, I'm not that old, and I won't be 17 years old until the end of the year." β
"I see, you must have changed your age for a part-time job, right?" Wang Hongwei said that this kind of thing is not a secret, many employers will acquiesce to the minor employees they hire to falsely report their age in order to avoid the supervision of the labor department, and Zhou Zijun is obviously the case.
"You came out to work at such a young age, and your family is willing to do it?" Li Yu asked.
A trace of sourness passed over Zhou Zijun's face, she lowered her eyes and looked at the tableware in front of her, and said, "What is there to be reluctant to?" They only have my brother in their hearts, and I am willing to come out to work, but they can't ask for it. My monthly salary is only 1,800 yuan, and I have to send 1,000 yuan home. β
Wang Hongwei's eyes widened and said, "You only have 800 yuan left in a month?" What's that for? β
Zhou Zijun said: "Our restaurant includes food and accommodation, and I just have to pay some mobile phone bills, buy some toothpaste, shampoo or something, plus buy some books, 800 yuan a month is enough." I want to save some money for school in the future, so it's not easy......"
"What do you want to go to?" Li Yu asked curiously.
Zhou Zijun said: "I want to take a higher vocational exam after finishing my homework here, I want to learn animation design and draw all kinds of characters, I think it's very interesting." There is a high school not far from our restaurant, and once a few students came to our restaurant to eat, carrying laptops, and doing animations while waiting for the food, I was stunned. I thought to myself if one day I could be like them...... That's it. β
When he said this, Zhou Zijun's eyes showed a strange brilliance, as if he was savoring that sacred feeling. In her mind, being able to drag the mouse to design a character is the supreme profession, although she serves dishes and delivers food every day, but she has an artistic dream in her heart.
"Zijun, I think you can definitely do it." Li Yu was moved by Zhou Zijun's expression, and he almost had an urge to immediately take out a sum of money to fund Zhou Zijun to realize her dream. However, he knew that he and Zhou Zijun were not familiar with such a Cheng dΓΉ, and doing so rashly would only arouse the other party's vigilance and disgust. Also, everyone should pay the price for their dreams, and the achievements that come from paying the price are the most brilliant. Zhou Zijun is working so hard now, accumulating his tuition little by little, how do you know if it is a kind of happiness?
"Don't talk about me, what do you want to do in the future?" Zhou Zijun jumped out of his fantasy, smiled embarrassedly, and asked Li Yu and Wang Hongwei.
"Me?" Wang Hongwei pointed to his nose, and then said without hesitation: "I want to open a company in the future and be my own boss." β
"Really? What does the company do? Zhou Zijun asked curiously.
"Hmm...... Haven't figured it out yet. Wang Hongwei said honestly, probably because he felt that this answer was not domineering enough, and he quickly explained to himself: "I just think that I am still young now, and I am not so fast to start a company, and when I have money, I will naturally know what to do." β
"Then you can save money...... Quit smoking. Li Yu reminded with a smile.
"I don't want to quit." Wang Hongwei said, "I'm just so hobbyistic, if I can't even smoke, what's the point of making money?" β
"Li Yu, what is your ideal?" Zhou Zijun targeted Li Yu again. Compared with Wang Hongwei, she is actually more interested in Li Yu. In Zhou Zijun's opinion, although Li Yu is a transfer student and his foundation is not as good as others, he is elegant and very smart, and he only needs a little bit of knowledge to understand. In the little girl's heart, there is already a little shadow of Li Yu.
"My ideals?" Li Yu was a little dazed.
In the past, he was a killer in Guihongmen, and every time he accepted a new mission, he didn't know if he could come back alive, the word ideal was too luxurious for him, and he slept in bed every night, and he felt that being able to see the sun the next day was his only hope.
Having stumbled to the modern age, he found that he no longer had to worry about licking blood on the tip of a knife, and for a moment he felt extremely relaxed, and he just wanted to enjoy this freedom to the fullest. Later, with the medicinal food workshop, he met Liu Qinghe, and then he was involved in the grievances between Ma Lei and Mei Tianfu, he didn't know how to resolve these difficulties, he could only see the moves, and he didn't know when a new storm would come.
He went to cram school only because he felt that he lacked modern knowledge and would fall into passivity in possible future struggles. But he really hasn't figured out what he can do after learning this knowledge.
Facing Zhou Zijun's inquiry, Li Yu was silent for a moment and said: "I didn't think too far ahead, I just wanted to be able to make more money and make myself more powerful, so that I could protect myself and my friends around me." β
"You boys have so many things on their minds." Zhou Zijun said, "I don't think I'm capable of protecting others, and I can't even protect myself, so I hope that someone can protect me sometime." β
Wang Hongwei smiled: "That's just right, isn't Li Yu a ready-made flower messenger?" β
"Wang Hongwei, you are dead! What nonsense! Zhou Zijun's face turned crimson, raised her fist and made a threatening gesture to Wang Hongwei viciously. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
