Chapter 88, Eating and Drinking
As soon as Mei Lan and Anita Mui entered the lobby, they were led by the waiters to a large room on the second floor, where more than a dozen girls in their twenties stood in costumes.
When these girls saw Mei Lan and Anita Mui entering the door, they glanced at Mei Lan with disdain, and then looked at Anita Mui with vigilance.
"Who are these?"
"Most of them are my alumni, and there are also people from other schools, so they should all be for tonight's dinner."
"Dinner?" Mei Lan saw a long table in the center of the room, and there were various knives and forks on the table, and it seemed that the other party was preparing Western food.
"I won't, don't blame me for being embarrassed for a while." Mei Lan really hasn't eaten Western food.
And her temperament is not the kind of person who slowly takes a knife and fork to cut a small piece of meat and then elegantly puts it in her mouth, she has been wild since she was a child, and she is from an authentic rural background, she really can't learn this set.
"I won't either, follow others to learn, we can't make soil buns for the rest of our lives, right?"
"What do you mean, you don't pretend to be dirt buns like they do?" Mei Lan looked at this pile of beauties and pouted secretly, "I'm going, who is the person who is having a treat today?" Invited so many beautiful women to accompany you? ”
As soon as I guessed the other party, I didn't have a good heart.
Mei Lan has looked at these girls carefully, and the eldest ones are no more than twenty-five years old, basically in their early twenties, and there are people like her and Anita Mui who are less than twenty years old, which is not unusual, what is strange is that these girls are all beautiful like flowers, not like they are here to participate in a dinner, like they are here to be a beauty pageant.
"Today's guest is a boss, who makes shampoo, bath and skin care products, he wants to choose a newcomer to be an advertising model, and wants that kind of fresh and sweet little girl, who has been auditioned in our school, and a total of more than 20 people have been selected, this is not all over, I heard that this advertisement has been filmed, and the contract can be renewed in the future. Anita Mui said while secretly looking at others.
When Mei Lan heard the words "fresh and sweet", she glanced at those people again, then looked at Anita Mui, and asked, "Since it is fresh and sweet, why did you wear a black dress?" ”
The skirts on other girls are either white or pink, or the kind of goose yellow and grass green that are very lively, and there are also black skirts, and they don't wear much.
"I'm just going to have this expensive dress." Anita Mui looked at herself.
This dress was bought the last time she went to a dinner with others, it was Boots', and it cost her more than 2,000 yuan.
"That's fine. Black is good with black. Mei Lan felt that black could better bring out Anita Mui's complexion, which was really pink and white.
"Is your vision good?" Anita Mui was obviously nervous.
"It's okay, normal heart, normal heart, calm down, you can do it if you work hard, what, don't say I didn't warn you, if you rely on the unspoken rules to get on top, you take a break as soon as possible, and then don't say that you are my friend." Mei Lan pointed at Anita Mui and said.
Mei Lan didn't expect that all the conversations between herself and Anita Mui were seen and listened to in her ears, not only Mei Lan and Anita Mui, but every move of all the girls in the room was filmed one by one.
In the next room to this room, there was also a long table, in the middle of which sat a young man of about thirty years old, and behind him stood five or six young people in their twenties and thirties, all staring at a large screen on the wall, on which were the faces of young and tender girls.
The young man sitting in the middle didn't speak, but the people standing next to him were very casual, and they were talking about no one else at the moment, it was Mei Lan.
First of all, Mei Lan's entry is very special, she is the only one who wears jeans and jeans without makeup, and secondly, Mei Lan is warning her friends not to be famous by unspoken rules, such girls seem to be rare, unless, she has a strong background in the background.
"Let's get to dinner." The seated young man looked at the watch on his wrist and commanded.
There was a young man next to him who quickly went out.
After a while, a waiter came in with a cart, and each person had a set of Western food in front of them, a steak, pasta, mushroom cream soup, a pastry, and a small half glass of red wine.
The girls looked at the door for a long time and no one came, so they had to choose their own place and sit down, Mei Lan pulled Anita Mui to sit by the window, so that anyone could notice Anita Mui as soon as they entered the door.
Anita Mui's appearance is still outstanding, and she has the fair and delicate skin of a southerner, Mei Lan feels that she still has a certain chance of winning.
"Is it a knife in your left hand or a knife in your right hand?" Mei Lan looked at the knife and fork in front of her and read it silently, and then quietly watched the people around her move.
She was not stupid, she glanced at it twice, and then mastered the essentials, first spread the napkin on her knees, then held the knife in her right hand, and the fork in her left hand, but unfortunately this knife is not as good as a kitchen knife, and it is not easy to use, Mei Lan had to mumble while secretly gritting her teeth and cutting the steak on the plate.
The steak is medium-rare, and when it is cut out, it is red and bloodshot, Mei Lan saw that she had no appetite at all, and hurriedly put the steak aside, rolled a few mouthfuls of pasta with a fork to eat, and it was not the right appetite, the mushroom cream soup was average, and she could eat it, but she didn't dare to drink too much, for fear of making her stomach, and there was a small pudding, which was so sweet that Mei Lan also gave up.
No way, her taste buds have been accustomed to the Jiangxi-style chili pepper and rice for more than ten years, to put it mildly, Mei Lan's stomach can't even adapt to milk, because she hasn't drunk milk in these years, when she lived in Deng Jianwen's house, Yang Yu would buy cartons of milk every once in a while, but at that time, Mei Lan even asked Deng Jianwen for her own meal money, where was she embarrassed to drink any milk? She knew in her heart that the milk was bought for Deng Pengfei.
Mei Lan also bought milk a few times after she went to Beijing and had a little money in her hands, but she had to diarrhea after drinking it every time, and she stopped drinking it after trying it three times.
Mei Lan saw that Anita Mui next to her had eaten all the steak, so she came to her side and asked, "Can you really swallow it?" ”
Anita Mui glanced at Mei Lan, "Of course." Let me tell you, the chef here is at least a five-star level, you are about to eat, don't make dirty buns. ”
Mei Lan twisted her face when she heard this, "I really can't eat it, just soil buns, anyway, I'm just a foil, and no one knows me." By the way, when people ask you who I am, you say you don't know me, and I met at the door. ”
The two muttered, many pairs of eyes on the table looked at them, Anita Mui kicked Mei Lan under the table, shook her head, Mei Lan stopped talking, and concentrated on rolling two more pasta sticks on her plate and putting them into her mouth.
"Check out that denim guy." The man sitting at the table in the next room spoke.
Someone next to him took out a stack of photos, looked at it and looked at it, but didn't find Mei Lan's.
"Yun Shao, there is no such person."
"No?" The one named Yun Shao raised his eyelids, "The one who talked to her next to her." ”
"Anita Mui, a first-year at College C, from Meixian County, Jiangxi."
"Hehe, you're here to eat, right? The little girl now is really interesting, persuading others not to accept the unspoken rules, but she follows to eat and drink. Someone laughed.
"I've seen a lot of this kind of girl, you see her clothes, it's not more than five hundred yuan, usually there is definitely no chance to enter this kind of occasion, it's easy to catch it once, and if you don't come in and open your eyes, maybe, what other purpose do people have." Some continued to scoff.
"Lu Feng, you go and test her." Someone next to him pushed the man who had just spoken.
The man named Lu Feng glanced at Yun Shao, who was sitting, and saw that Yun Shao did not object, so he really pushed open the door and went out.
Mei Lan was boredly rolling the pasta on the plate, when suddenly a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old boy walked next to her, bent down and asked, "This young lady, is tonight's meal not to your liking?" ”
"Oh, it's a little hard to get used to, but that's okay." This basic politeness Mei Lan still knows, she treats the other party as a waiter.
"I wonder if Miss has any other instructions?"
"No, thank you, I won't bother you."
"Don't bother, this is my duty, may I ask your surname, Miss?" Can I take a look at your invitation? ”
Mei Lan felt that something was not quite right when she heard this, so she took a closer look at the other party, she looked quite gentle, and her temperament was quite clean, but this look seemed to be a little banter and a little mockery, is this really a waiter?
"I'm sorry, she's my friend, I brought it in." Anita Mui on the side was busy explaining.
At this time, the girls at the table put down the knives and forks in their hands and looked at Mei Lan and Anita Mui.
"Miss, our rule here is that only one person is invited for an invitation." Lu Feng saw that Mei Lan couldn't get the invitation letter, and said.
Mei Lan took Anita Mui's invitation and looked at it, and it was true that only Anita Mui's name was written on the elegant flower note, but it was not written that no one was allowed to bring.
Mei Lan closed the invitation and looked at the other party with a smile: "This handsome guy, I'm sorry, I'm accompanying my friend to strengthen my courage, if you think I've disturbed you, I can stand aside and not speak." ”
"Courage?" The other party seemed to have heard some joke, and the corners of his mouth grinned, "Miss is so eloquent, I don't know if I can find such a good reason to eat and drink now?" ”
Mei Lan was angry when she heard the words "eat and drink", she pushed the plate in front of her, and asked with a smile: "This handsome guy, although this meal is not very delicious, but I am also moving after all, I am not embarrassed for you, can you make a price?" ”
"Okay, good enough, 1888." Lu Feng really made an offer.
When Mei Lan heard this, she took out her wallet from Anita Mui's Xiaokun bag, ordered two thousand yuan, and handed it to Lu Feng.
"Handsome guy, don't look for it, the rest will be your tip, and besides, please tell your boss that we gave up this election." After Mei Lan finished speaking, she pulled Anita Mui up.
"Why did you give up?" Anita Mui was a little puzzled.
"Get up, what good business can such a small boss have?" Mei Lan picked up Anita Mui, took two steps, turned around and said to Lu Feng with a smile: "This handsome guy, if your boss can't pay you a salary one day, you can come to C University to find me, maybe I can hire you." ”
Lu Feng's face immediately darkened, gritted his teeth, and secretly scolded the people next door in his heart, but his face remained silent, "This young lady, please give you a name." ”
"It doesn't have to be, 88, no more." Merlin waved her hand. R1152
