Chapter 6 Contempt is only at different levels
Entering the door, under the leadership of the welcome lady, you can take the sightseeing elevator and go straight to the top of the 27th floor. As soon as the elevator door was opened, the three of them walked slowly towards the Sophie Hall amid the greetings of the neatly lined up greeters on both sides.
Li Jie and Zhang Liang, who followed closely behind Feng Xiaoting, did not say a word along the way. Only Feng Xiaoting seemed to enjoy the atmosphere here, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and she had already taken off her hat and shook off her bright golden curls in a brisk step.
Zhang Liang, whose forehead was already faintly sweating, was full of nervousness and uneasiness. I originally thought that I would have to lose at least half a year's salary at a time, but now I look at it...... Not to mention half a year, a year's salary may not be enough.
Unlike Zhang Liang, who often socializes outside, Li Jie has no concept of this aspect. He was only surprised that a hotel could be decorated like a palace.
There are various oil paintings on the walls on both sides of the bright gold, and the deep blue of the tiles under the feet shines like crystals, revealing the atmosphere of art everywhere. It was like announcing to everyone who came that this was a noble place, and those who could come here were in line with the status of nobility.
The short corridor soon came to an end, and the hostess turned around and bowed, and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, distinguished guest." Which seat you like, we'll arrange it. ”
Li Jie, who was admiring several thick marble reliefs in the hall, felt that Zhang Liang beside him was pushed by his arm. glanced at Zhang Liang's face that was correcting $1$ book $ reading $ novel () knot, and said casually: "I don't care." He turned to look up at the hostess: "Just help us arrange a place in the hall." ”
Feng Xiaoting said: "I remember that the last time I came to the box, it was by the window, and you could see the river. You'll help us arrange the box. ”
Miss Welcome thought for a moment and said, "You must be talking about Box 1." But I'm sorry......" The welcome lady bowed again: "I'm sorry, but we need to book all the boxes here in advance." And Box 1 has already been booked. Can you change places? The view from our hall is also very good. ”
"No, I just want that place." Feng Xiaoting remembered something, turned around and took out a gold card in her backpack and handed it to the welcome lady: "This is what your manager gave me, you can show it to him." ”
The welcome lady glanced at it, her face changed color, and she quickly took the gold card with respectful hands. "Please wait a minute, I'll call the manager." Before the words fell, the welcome lady had already walked into the hall quickly.
Zhang Liang glanced at it a few times, leaned over his face and asked tentatively, "So you know the boss here?" ”
Feng Xiaoting smiled: "I don't know their manager. I ate it once a year. At that time, the manager gave our driver a gold card, and I thought it was going to come over with a beautiful pattern. I just remembered it. ”
"Sophie's restaurant manager gave your driver a gold card?" Zhang Liang smiled and shook his head: "I don't believe it." ”
"I never lie because I don't need to." Feng Xiaoting replied with a calm face. Instead, he said, "You guys wait here, I'll go to the bathroom." ”
As soon as she heard Feng Xiaoting speak, she immediately approached another welcoming lady from the side, bowed and said, "Are you going to the bathroom?" I'll take you there, please here. ”
Feng Xiaoting nodded and left behind Miss Yingbin.
Zhang Liang looked at her back and smacked his tongue: "Look at her bearing, she is indeed an upper-class person." But to say that Sophia's manager stammered their driver, it's a bit exaggerated, right? ”
When he looked at Li Jie, the latter smiled: "Anyway, their family is quite rich." Maybe someone else has a treat today. ”
"Cut! How rich can you compare to Sophie's restaurant? Zhang Liang snorted, pointed to the young and beautiful welcome ladies next to him and said, "Do you know how much they get a month when they work here?" Annual salary of at least 300,000! The manager of the restaurant here is at least that number! Zhang Liang solemnly stretched out 7 fingers, thought about it and added: "8 digits may not be enough." You look at these decorations, you look at this pomp. Restaurant? Let's just say that this is the palace, and I believe it! ”
"You haven't been to the palace either." Li Jie laughed twice and didn't argue with him. Although Li Jie didn't know how noble Sophia's restaurant was, he knew that there was absolutely no one who wanted to be richer than the Feng family in the realm of Shuiyun City. Not to mention the whole country, even the world is one of the handful.
Just as Zhang Liang was looking around, he saw the elevator door open. After a few people who came out of it to talk and laugh, after glancing at it, Zhang Liang nervously pulled Li Jie and whispered: "Not good!" Manager Xiang is here. ”
Li Jie turned his head and saw six people walking in front of him. The person at the front seemed to be a little familiar, and Xiang Chengzheng, the general manager of Ping An Insurance Company, followed behind in the crowd.
I heard Zhang Liang whispering in my ear: "The one in the front who wears glasses is the deputy mayor of our city, and the one in the back is his secretary." The two who followed behind, the thin one was the head of the tax bureau, and the short and fat one was the deputy director of the industrial and commercial bureau. There are two more that I haven't seen before, and it looks like they should be friends of Manager Xiang. ”
"So coincidentally?" Li Jie frowned.
I heard Zhang Liang complain: "Don't mention it." Today, Manager Xiang came down to check, and I told him that you were sick. Now that I've come across it here, I don't even know how to explain it. ”
Li Jie shook his head and sighed: "What else can I do, if I touch it, I will touch it." If something happens, I'll do it alone. ”
In a few steps, several executives had already come to the front, and Xiang Cheng, who was caught in the crowd, had already discovered Zhang Liang and Li Jie. He didn't speak, just grimaced, and glared at the two of them fiercely.
Unable to avoid it, Zhang Liang quietly pulled Li Jie, and then greeted Xiang Cheng with a smile: "Manager Xiang, what a coincidence, you came here to eat?" ”
"yes. What a coincidence! Xiang Cheng glared at Li Jie and said, "Didn't you call for sick leave today?" ”
Li Jie pursed his lips and did not speak. At this time, it is also wrong to explain it, so I simply don't explain it. It's a big deal to turn around and resign, anyway, the company's eyes have made him unbearable this month.
Xiang Cheng looked at them and asked them suspiciously, "Why are you two here?" ”
Li Jie smiled faintly and said, "A friend wants to invite us to dinner today." ”
"Come here?" After hearing Li Jie's answer, Xiang Cheng looked at Zhang Liang with some surprise for confirmation.
Zhang Liang on the side grabbed his hair and smiled awkwardly: "Ah." yes, hehe. ”
Xiang Cheng still looked incredulous, and his face showed disdain. Someone next to him was asking Xiang Cheng, who are these two? Xiang Cheng glanced at Zhang Liang and Li Jie, and shook his head with a smile.
"Do you have any reservations?" The welcome lady stepped forward and respectfully asked Xiang Cheng a few people.
Xiang Cheng took a few steps forward and said, "Oh, we have booked a private room." It is the No. 1 box. ”
The hostess is customary to bow and salute. "Oh, okay. Wait a minute, I'll check it out. ”
"Box 1? It's not such a coincidence. Zhang Liang opened his mouth and glanced at Li Jie.
"Wait, Box 1 can't be entered for the time being!" Hearing shouts in the distance, the welcome lady who had just taken the gold card to find the manager trotted out. She was followed by a tall, thin man in his thirties, dressed in a dark blue suit.
The man approached and exchanged a few words with the guests. First, he shook hands with the deputy mayor and other senior executives one by one, and then smiled: "I'm really sorry, a distinguished guest came today and asked for Box 1." I'm also struggling. Why don't I arrange box No. 2 for you, I'll give you today's drinks. ”
The deputy mayor with glasses said with a smile: "It must not be an ordinary person who can make Manager Zhou say that he is honorable." I don't know if a few of us have a chance to get acquainted. ”
Manager Zhou bowed his head with a smile on his face and asked for a greeting, looking for Li Jie. I heard the hostess remind, "The one with the gold card has gone to the bathroom...... Now, she's coming. It's the one in the denim suit. ”
A group of people turned their heads to look, only to see a tall young woman walking in front of them. None of the people here knew her, and they all looked at each other again.
Feng Xiaoting walked all the way through the crowd as if no one was there, and walked straight to the welcoming lady. Leng Mu said: "Hasn't the box been arranged yet?" ”
Manager Zhou stared at Feng Xiaoting for a long time, and he didn't seem to know this person in his memory. But the gold card taken out by the other party is real, and he knows that there are only a few people in the city who have received gold cards, and they are either rich or expensive. I secretly thought in my heart: This must be which lady is this.
Manager Zhou said respectfully with a smile on his face: "Excuse me, are you the one who holds the gold card?" I am the manager of this restaurant, my name is Zhou Jin. I don't know the eldest lady's surname. ”
Feng Xiaoting frowned unhappily, and said impatiently: "I got the gold card from our driver, my surname is Feng." Is it so much trouble to eat at your restaurant here? ”
"Driver? Surname Feng? Surname Feng! Feng ...... Feng ......" Zhou Jin gasped, and his smile suddenly froze on his face.
"To give or not to eat? If you don't give it food, I'll leave! Feng Xiaoting's eyes widened angrily.
"Give it, give it, give it! No, please please please! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Zhou Jin trembled when he spoke, slapped the arm of the welcome lady next to him, and finally shouted out the words stuck in his throat with the power of his arm swing: "Hurry up and invite your guests into the box!" ”
"Uh-oh." The welcome lady saw the manager's sincere and frightened look, and she couldn't care about the pain in her shoulder. hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Miss Feng, please come with me." How many of you are there? ”
Feng Xiaoting turned around and pointed: "He and him, just the three of us." ”
Where can Zhou Jin take care of the deputy mayor and director at this time. took the initiative to step forward and pushed away the greeting who led the way, and said excitedly: "I'll personally lead the way for Miss Feng." ”
Seeing Miss Feng, Zhang Liang, and Li Jie enter the box surrounded by a group of people, the deputy mayor lifted the frame of his glasses, sighed and said, "I have never seen someone who can make Manager Zhou so out of shape." It's still a young woman in her twenties......"
"Feng? Could it be that Feng! The deputy mayor also remembered something and took a deep breath.
Seeing this, Xiang Cheng couldn't help asking, "Which one is Mayor Chen talking about?" ”
Unexpectedly, Mayor Chen glanced back at Xiang Cheng, smiled and did not answer.
This kind of scene is just like Fang Cai Xiang Cheng's treatment of Zhang Liang and Li Jie. It's nothing more than a swap of roles, but there is one meaning in your bones: you are not qualified enough.
The other sharp-eyed asked Xiang Cheng in a low voice: "There are two other men who entered the box with that distinguished guest, and I just saw them greet you." Do you know each other? ”
Xiang Cheng was puzzled: "They are just two part-time workers in my company." ”
The one who asked nodded, suddenly sneered and patted Xiang Cheng's shoulder and said, "It seems that you usually don't care enough about your subordinates." Don't know that there are two dragons hidden under your hands when the time comes. ”
Xiang Cheng couldn't help but make a bitter face: "How could I have thought that these two wage earners could still have a relationship with such a noble person?" ”
Not to mention that several executives next to him sneered at Xiang Cheng, even Xiang Cheng himself was desperately scolding himself for looking at people just now, but he didn't believe that people could eat here. Or maybe I would have had the opportunity to meet this Miss Feng.
If you come to the restaurant not to eat, but to take a bath?
Xiang Cheng looked at the closed door of the No. 1 box, only expecting that the door would suddenly open, and Li Jie and Zhang Liang cordially beckoned him in.
