Chapter One Hundred and Four Robert's Persistence
The dishes were served, and everyone's eyes showed undisguised expressions of expectation, Kevin suddenly remembered something, went downstairs and took a bottle of red wine from the refrigerator, opened it and poured it for everyone.
"This is a red wine from Santorini, it tastes good and goes well with food!" Kevin said boastfully.
Then everyone sat down at the table and held hands and prayed together, and after the prayer was over, the dinner officially began.
In the table manners of Westerners, it is very impolite to speak during meals, and it used to be just a few people, but now when guests come, everyone invariably regulates their behavior.
So, although the meals were very rich, everyone was quiet during the meal.
Unlike others who were concentrating on eating, Ye Hai secretly observed Robert's expression while eating, and when he saw his expression of enjoyment after eating a bite of shrimp and onion pie, Ye Hai's heart finally returned to his stomach.
It seems that Ann's craftsmanship is really good, and even this famous food critic is conquered.
Ye Hai subconsciously looked at An who was sitting next to Jasmine, and at this time An was looking at Robert with anxiety, and the eyes of the two met in the air. Then Ye Hai gave a thumbs up to An, and An showed a tsundere smile at Ye Hai.
"Of course Miss Ben's cooking is delicious!"
Dinner ended quickly, Jasmine and Ann cleaned up the table, and the others left the balcony with interest.
There were only two people left on the balcony, Ye Hai and Robert, standing on the edge of the balcony with a goblet, looking at the Aegean Sea, which was already about to darken, Robert took a long breath and read slowly.
"Love,
This archipelago,
Ships in the Foam,
Seagulls in dreams,
The highest mast on the sailor waved,
A song. ”
Looking at Robert's melancholy expression, Ye Hai looked dazed. He knew that Robert must have read a poem, but damn it, Ye Hai was not a literary young man, and he couldn't understand Robert at all!
But fortunately, Robert quickly gave an explanation to avoid Ye Hai's embarrassment.
"This is a poem by the Greek poet Odysseus Eritis, and the name of the poem is the Aegean Sea."
"Oh......" Ye Hai nodded, not daring to answer, but he was complaining about Robert's hypocrisy in his heart.
"I really envy you to have such a beautiful island and see the romantic Aegean Sea every day." Robert said again.
Ye Hai said in his heart, and said in his heart, then you have definitely never seen it rise up. However, although he complained in his heart, Ye Hai said very modestly: "I am very fortunate to live on this island with my friends. ”
Robert cracked the corners of his mouth and smiled, turning his head to look at Ye Hai.
"Ye Hai, I can't help you."
"What?" Ye Hai pretended not to understand the rhetorical question.
"I see what you mean, you want me to keep posting a few more reviews about Santony's cuisine so that your fish will become more famous, so that your fish will be more expensive and sell faster." Robert looked at Ye Hai, his brown eyes were clear, as if he had already seen Ye Hai through.
"Why? Isn't my fish delicious enough? Ye Hai asked with some hurt. Inviting Robert to Santoni for a vacation this time, Ye Hai really had such a thought. After all, Robert's fame is there, and one of his articles can make his fish a big hit in Crete, so what if he writes more?
And as Jeffrey said, Ye Hai doesn't have many resources, and since he has caught Robert's line, Ye Hai hopes to tap all his potential.
But he didn't expect Robert to reject himself so early, which really caught Ye Hai off guard.
"It's because your fish is good enough that I can't help you hype. Because that would degrade the status of food in my mind, and to do so would be to desecrate the taste of the sun. Ye Hai, since you were confident that you could keep me without knowing it, why don't you have this confidence now? ”
"These are two different things, right?" Ye Hai said with a bitter face.
"It seems to me that this is a thing!" Robert affirmed. Then he pleaded sincerely, "I hope you can understand what I am doing." ”
"Well, I understand you. You don't have to, after all, you've done me so much, and I and the inhabitants of the island are already very grateful to you. Ye Hai saw Robert's sincere face, and he couldn't say anything anymore. Although I was very unhappy with Robert's hypocrisy, this was someone else's business after all.
And then again, if Robert hadn't been so hypocritical, he wouldn't have been so famous in the food circle, and his articles would naturally not have had such a big effect.
In this way, Ye Hai should actually thank Robert for this hypocrisy, or it should be called persistence.
Thinking about Ye Hai, he was relieved.
"If you ask me for anything else, I will definitely help you, but this is the only thing, because I am so obsessed with the smell of sunshine, that I can't treat it for commercial purposes." Robert was afraid that Ye Hai would think that he was deliberately shirking, and explained.
"It's really okay, you're so polite that I'm a little embarrassed. Here, cheers. Seeing that he and Robert couldn't speak clearly, Ye Hai raised the red wine in his hand and said to Robert.
Seeing that Ye Hai didn't want to continue talking, Robert smiled and raised his glass.
"Have a nice time on the island."
"Thank you, hospitable islander."
Ye Hai and Robert stayed on the balcony for a while, and it was completely dark. Seeing Ye Hai walking back to the room, Jeffrey hurriedly walked over and asked, "How is it, did he agree?" ”
Ye Hai shook his head.
"He refused before I could say anything, so don't go to him. Robert has his own insistence, which is also the foundation of his foothold in his circle, and we should not change him. ”
Jeffrey's eyes widened.
"I didn't even want to go to him, I guess he wouldn't say yes."
"Then you're going to let me go to him to discuss this?" Jeffrey's words made Ye Hai very unhappy, and he said a little angrily.
"I'm not sure if he's changed over the years, it's always right to give it a try."
"Why don't you go!"
"That's shameless."
In the blink of an eye, another busy day. Back in the bedroom, Ye Hai lay directly on the soft bed.
Although Santony's fish have successfully landed in Crete, they are still a long way from truly taking over the market. Originally, Ye Hai wanted to use Robert's fame to finish this journey quickly, but he didn't expect Robert to directly refuse him.
Then we have to think of other ways.
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Hai didn't come up with too good ideas, and he decided not to think about it anymore. Leaning on the side of the bed, he habitually took out his mobile phone and flipped it up, and when Ye Hai opened the circle of friends and saw the information that forwarded purchasing agents and micro-businesses, he suddenly felt that he had inspiration.
