"Brother Shen, what's going on?"

Li Yu stepped forward and asked Shen Jiaze.

Shen Jiaze made a bitter face, pointed to the waiter, and said, "I went to the bathroom just now, and my phone rang when I came back." I patronized my phone and ran into this young man without paying attention, and then all the food in his hand was splashed on this lady. ”

"How do you walk! Pick up a phone and hit someone? I just bought this skirt, 598 yuan, and now it's stained with vegetable soup, and I can't wash it, what do you say! The young woman in the white dress shouted in a sharp voice, her pretty face flushed, obviously really anxious.

Li Yu looked at the skirt on her body and couldn't help frowning. The skirt was full of dark brown vegetable stains, and it should be very difficult to wash it to restore its original color. Fortunately, this soup was only sprinkled on the hem of her skirt, and if it was splashed on the tighter part of her clothes, it would not only be a matter of soiling her clothes, but it would also be a matter of scalding people.

Regarding what happened, Shen Jiaze has made it very clear, and no one else has any objections. The whole thing is Shen Jiaze's responsibility, and Li Yu couldn't find a reason to pull his hand, so he could only say to the young woman in the white dress with a smile: "Eldest sister, I'm sorry, my eldest brother didn't deliberately spill vegetable soup on you, don't blame him." ”

"Then what do you say! The skirt I just bought, I only wore it once......" The young woman in the white dress bit it and didn't give up.

Shen Jiaze gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Madam, is this okay...... Your skirt can actually be washed completely, I'll pay you for the laundry, 100 yuan, what do you think? ”

"100 bucks?" The young woman said in a disdainful tone, "I spent 598 on this skirt, and you will give me 100 yuan?" Is there such a cheap thing? ”

"You can still wear this skirt, but you need to send it to the laundry to wash it, and the price of washing a skirt is 50 yuan at most, right? I'll give you 100 bucks, right? ”

"Who can guarantee that it will be cleaned? Besides, even if it can be cleaned, should it take me time to send it for washing, and how much should I pay for lost work? What about the mental damage fee, how to calculate? By the way, I came here to make an appointment to eat, and now I am like this, how can I meet people? If you delay my business, do you want to pay for this loss? ”

“……”

Shen Jiaze was speechless, although the young woman's calculation was inevitably suspected of blackmail, it was not completely unreasonable. Now in this year, whoever is splashed with vegetable soup for no reason may not accept a mere 100 yuan in compensation.

In the past, this matter would not make Shen Jiaze too embarrassed, and it was better to lose more money than to be watched here. But now he has an empty pocket, and half of the only more than 400 yuan is borrowed from colleagues. If he had lost money to the young woman, he would not have been able to afford the meal.

"Madam, the account can't be calculated like this......" Shen Jiaze could only bite the bullet and planned to negotiate the price with the other party.

Li Yu saw the clue, he stopped Shen Jiaze, turned to the young woman and asked, "Eldest sister, then according to you, how much do you think it is more appropriate for us to compensate you?" ”

"At least 500!" The young woman said without thinking.

"Okay, I'll give you 500." Without saying a word, Li Yu took out his wallet from his trouser pocket, counted out five large tickets, and handed them to the young woman.

"What bad luck!" The young woman took the money, and sure enough, she stopped shouting. She said the price of 500, which was to save room for bargaining with the other party, but she didn't expect the other party to be so happy, which made her full of joy. She carefully stuffed the money into her small kun bag, and then limped out of the restaurant. With her current image, she must not be able to stay and eat. Li Yu saw her take out a mobile phone from her bag and make a phone call as she walked, probably contacting the person she was dating and informing her of the unexpected situation she encountered.

"Isn't this a lie?"

Shen Jiaze muttered and returned to his seat with Li Yu. His face was full of embarrassment, and he looked at Li Yu and stopped.

"Brother Shen, don't think about it, just think about it as a disaster avoidance." Li Yu used the common saying to persuade Shen Jiaze.

"Alas...... This is a troublesome ......" Shen Jiaze sighed, then said with a red face: "Xiao Li...... I can't pay you back the 500 yuan now, I have to wait until I pay my salary......"

"Brother Shen, don't say that." Li Yu interrupted Shen Jiaze's words and said, "Between our brothers, do we still need to talk about the 500 yuan?" But...... Brother Shen, are you short on money now? ”

"Alas, I don't want to slap my swollen face and become fat." Shen Jiaze said, he never wanted Li Yu to know his predicament, but when something like this happened, he couldn't hide it if he wanted to. Li Yu helped him pay 500 yuan in advance, but he couldn't come up with the money to pay Li Yu back, isn't this enough to explain the problem? At this point, if he still claims that he has money, it will only be a more complete disgrace.

"I had saved some money before, but this time I got divorced, and I had to divide the family property. The house I bought was going to be left for the elderly in the family, so I had to give all the money to my ex-wife. The child is now awarded to her, and I have given her a one-time one-time payment of child support for one year, so that I am really penniless. I can't go back to my original company, and now this company is a grass platform, and my monthly salary is only 3,000 yuan, deducting the rent, and sending money to the elderly at home...... To tell you the truth, I only have more than 200 yuan left in my hand now, and I borrowed 200 from a colleague in order to invite you to dinner today. ”

After Shen Jiaze said this in one breath, his mood was relaxed. To save face in front of friends, in fact, it is also a very tiring thing, simply say everything thoroughly, whether it is embarrassing or hurting self-esteem, it doesn't matter if you say it.

"Brother Shen, I'm so sorry, I really don't know this." Li Yu felt a little sorry, just now Shen Jiaze also said that he is now at a low ebb and his economic situation is not very good, but Li Yu never thought that Shen Jiaze would be so poor that he couldn't even take out 500 yuan, and he actually had to borrow money from his colleagues to invite him to dinner. Li Yu already has some understanding of modern society, and knows that skilled white-collar workers like Shen Jiaze have a very high income, at least they will not worry about things of a few hundred yuan. Shen Jiaze fell into such a situation, it should be regarded as very miserable.

Shen Jiaze said: "It's okay, I'm just temporarily encountering some difficulties, and this difficulty can't defeat me." By the way, Xiao Li, you just helped me advance 500 yuan, and your living expenses for the second half of the month are fine, right? If not, I'll borrow some money from a colleague tomorrow and pay you back first. ”

Li Yu shook his head and said, "Brother Shen, I won't hide it from you, I'm in a good condition now." As I told you, I work in a restaurant, which I own with a few friends, and I'm the majority shareholder. ”

"Really?" Shen Jiaze's eyes widened, his face was more relieved than envious, and he asked one after another, "How is the business of the restaurant you opened?" Are you making a profit now? Can the profit exceed 10,000 a month? ”

Li Yu said: "I opened a medicinal diet restaurant, because there are some secret medicinal diet recipes, so the business is not bad. ”

"Medicinal Restaurant?" Shen Jiaze was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a hesitant tone: "What you said can't be the Hundred Herb Restaurant on Wenyu Street, right?" ”

"Brother Shen also heard about it?" Li Yu asked rhetorically.

"Holy!" Shen Jiaze stood up suddenly, paused for a few seconds, and then realized that his reaction was a little too strong, he sat back in his seat, stared at Li Yu with straight eyes, and said, "You are actually the owner of the Hundred Herb Restaurant, and you are also the major shareholder!" Do you know how famous the Hundred Herb Kitchen is? Our colleagues once guessed together that the profit of this restaurant in a month would definitely not be less than 1 million! ”

"That's pretty much it." Li Yu replied lightly, in fact, the gross profit of the medicinal food workshop has already exceeded 5 million per month, and Li Yu did not dare to tell Shen Jiaze the truth, for fear that his fragile heart would not be able to bear it.

"There really are 1 million! That...... Am I not having dinner with a millionaire? Shen Jiaze really couldn't accept this fact, it wasn't that he hadn't seen a rich man, but he couldn't associate the young man in front of him with the word millionaire. What's more, 1 million is just a month's profit of the medicinal food workshop, what if it is opened for a year or two years? Wouldn't Li Yu have a net worth of tens of millions?

"No, you will pay for today's meal!" Shen Jiaze pointed at Li Yu with his finger, pretending to be vicious and said, "You are so rich, and it is too much for me, a poor ghost, to invite you to dinner!" ”

Li Yu smiled: "Brother Shen, didn't I say a long time ago that I should treat you?" You have to rush to have a treat, how can I refute Brother Shen's face? ”

Shen Jiaze is also a cheerful person, and when he heard Li Yu say this, he laughed and said, "Haha, I have a rich friend, and it feels good." Let's talk about it, I owe you 500 yuan, but I won't be in a hurry to pay it back, and I'll pay you back when I pay my salary next month. ”

"Brother Shen, you don't have to pay back this money." Li Yu said.

"It's not going to work, one yard to one yard. Today's meal money can be paid by you, but the 500 yuan is my mistake, and I can't let you pay, this is my principle of life. Shen Jiaze said seriously.

Li Yu knew that this involved Shen Jiaze's self-esteem, and if he blindly refused, it would make Shen Jiaze feel uncomfortable. So, he no longer dwelled on this matter, but changed the topic he had wanted to talk about a long time ago:

"Brother Shen, we haven't finished saying a sentence just now. You said that you have always had the idea of starting your own company, but now you don't have the money. If I invest in you, let's start a company together and do those electronic products that you design, are you interested? ”

"You're investing in me?" Shen Jiaze's expression became stern, "Xiao Li, there are risks in doing a company. Of course, I am confident in the products I have developed, but no one can guarantee what the response will be in the market. Do you really dare to work with me? ”

"I believe in Brother Shen's vision." Li Yu said calmly. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
