Chapter 29: A Treat

Gu Jie's teeth bit her lower lip, thought about it for a while, and then said to Liu Zhuang: "Then I'll borrow you!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Liu Zhuang was a little strange. He pointed to the German textbook Gu Jie was holding and asked, "Do you still know Japanese?" ”

A trace of pride immediately appeared on Gu Jie's face, she straightened her chest and said proudly: "I read a foreign language attached to the middle school. That's when I learned. Now I have a whole set of tapes at home. ”

"Talented girl!" Liu Zhuang made a very exaggerated expression, "Then thank you." When to pick it up? ”

"Next week!" Gu Jie smiled, and then said Liu Zhuang, "You're welcome." ”

"Hey, hey!" Liu Zhuang laughed dryly a few times, and then said, "There's nothing to say, in order to express my gratitude, I'll invite you to dinner now." ”

Hearing this, Gu Jie glanced at Liu Zhuang vigilantly. Boys invite girls to dinner alone, and they all seem to have the same intention. So Gu Jie was even a little skeptical of her own judgment.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhuang then stretched out a finger and said to Gu Jie with a smile: "One hundred." The standard is just one hundred. If I do, I'm really going bankrupt. ”

Seeing that Liu Zhuang's attitude was so free and easy, Gu Jie was a little embarrassed. She also stopped squirming, and half-jokingly: "You can't be in school, you have to find a big hotel." ”

……

In this era, the trend of eating and drinking has begun to spread. Due to the underdeveloped aquaculture and logistics industries, the price of dishes such as raw seafood in inland provinces such as Shannan Province is even higher than in modern times, when prices are skyrocketing. Therefore, what Gu Jie proposed is definitely not a high-end restaurant, what she is talking about is nothing more than a few small restaurants outside the school that face students.

And Liu Zhuang is also rare to be big-eyed. Because as long as he traded with Yang Yihai two or three times, Liu Zhuang would be able to earn 10,000 yuan, so he didn't need to squeeze the 500 yuan he earned in the early stage. Anyway, it is a common meal, and Liu Zhuang can afford to spend this money.

The consumption of those small restaurants is almost the same, so Liu Zhuang chose a cleaner one at random. But as soon as I walked to the door of the hotel, a group of people came out of the door. And the person in the lead suddenly looked up and saw Gu Jie beside Liu Zhuang, he was immediately overjoyed and screamed: "Gu Jie! You're coming to eat too? Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Then, the man saw Liu Zhuang next to him, so his face immediately turned cold.

Liu Zhuang had seen that person, who was the goalkeeper of the foreign language department at that time. Liu Zhuang also saw that he should be Gu Jie's fanatical suitor. Seeing the man's demeanor, Liu Zhuang felt quite funny. He even thought evilly: "It's time to hit your head against the wall, hit the ground with your feet, and jump into the Yellow River heartbroken!" ”

Of course, Liu Zhuang will not take the initiative to clarify his relationship with Gao Jie. He just looked at the man playfully with a smiling smile.

And after that person's face changed a few times, he actually suppressed his feelings and wanted to show his gentlemanly demeanor. He walked up to Liu Zhuang, squeezed out a smile, stretched out his right hand and said, "My name is Meng Xinyan, this classmate knows me." ”

Seeing that the big boy named Meng Xinyan was laughing more ugly than crying, Liu Zhuang couldn't stop laughing. He tried hard to control his feelings, and also stretched out his right hand to shake it, and said to Meng Xinyan: "I am Liu Zhuang!" Fortunately! ”

This little episode ended with the two sides parting ways. When Liu Zhuang and Gao Jie found a corner in the hotel and sat down, Gao Jie hurriedly explained: "The boy is really annoying. In fact, Meng Xinyan is a good person. ”

Liu Zhuang finally couldn't help laughing. If a beautiful woman sends herself a good person card, it is really a tragedy; If you give the good guy card to someone else, can you still suppress your own schadenfreude?

But this laughter made Gao Jie a little misunderstood. Her face flushed with shame, because the explanation was too much like that between lovers.

Unexpectedly, the hateful Liu Zhuang would sprinkle salt on the wound, he winked at Gao Jie and said, "Don't worry, I'm not jealous." But beautiful women do make people intellectually degraded. ”

Looking at Liu Zhuang's hateful face, Gao Jie finally couldn't help but be annoyed. She secretly stretched her legs under the table, stepped on Liu Zhuang's instep, and crushed it fiercely.

Seeing Gao Jie's gritted teeth, Liu Zhuang smiled and raised his hand in surrender, and said, "Order!" Order! Order a few more dishes, which is considered to be reparation. ”

Gao Jie also "poofed" and laughed.

The dishes in the restaurant are not expensive, they are all home-cooked dishes. And the two of them couldn't eat much, so they ordered four or five stir-fried dishes. Liu Zhuang asked for a bottle of drink for Gao Jie, and he also ordered a bottle of beer, and poured himself a drink to indulge.

After half a bottle of wine was eaten, Liu Zhuang chatted with Gao Jie: "You have learned so many foreign languages, do you want to be a translator in the future?" ”

Gao Jie replied: "You don't work hard. I see you in the reading room almost every day. ”

"Can you not flatter each other? It's easy to be proud. Liu Zhuang began to say witty words again, "I'm going to graduate next year, it's always good to learn more foreign languages, and art is not pressing." ”

"Me too!" Then Gao Jie hesitated, and finally finished speaking, "I'm also going to look for a job." ”

"Looking for a job?" Liu Zhuang suddenly became curious. At this time, college students were still assigned to the package, and few people would look for jobs on their own. So Liu Zhuang asked, "What kind of job are you looking for?" ”

"Don't you tell me?" The solemn expression on Gao Jie's face made Liu Zhuang nervous, "Go to the hotel as a waiter." ”

Liu Zhuang almost squirted a mouthful of beer onto the table. He choked and coughed violently, and finally calmed down a little, so he hurriedly asked, "What?" Hotel waiter? ”

"Be quiet!" Gao Jie cautiously looked around, and then explained to Liu Zhuang, "The Jubilee Hotel will be built next year, it is a four-star foreign-related hotel, I heard that it was opened by the Americans. The waiters there are paid more than 1,000 yuan a month, and I heard that some of them are also paid in foreign currency, and there may be tips. Do you know the recruitment situation of the foreign-related hotel that opened last year? Many college students are rushing to become waitresses. ”

Hearing this, Liu Zhuang was speechless. He had picked up the memories of his rebirth, and remembered that there was indeed such a thing. At that time, the first foreign-funded enterprises to enter the country were also mostly in the service industry, and because of their high wages, they were enthusiastically sought after by college students. In the final analysis, it is also to blame that the wages of domestic enterprises and institutions are too low; And there are too few foreign-funded enterprises in Shannan Province.

But Liu Zhuang is a reborn, he knows the future. Liu Zhuang knows how popular talents like Gao Jie will be in the future. But to work as a hotel waiter? That's a terrible treasure. So Liu Zhuang advised: "Although the salary in the hotel is higher now. Can you be a waiter? Sweeping the floor every day, stacking quilts, there is no future! You have to think about the future, and when the salary in other industries rises in the future, even if you want to change jobs, you still have to start over. What a waste of his youth. ”

There is indeed fate between this man and man. Although they have known each other for a short time, these two people can already make friends like friends. So Gao Jie didn't see the outside world and said, "Why is there no future?" I heard that if you do well, you can be promoted to foreman. The foreman's salary is even higher. ”

Seeing Gao Jie's obsession, Liu Zhuang couldn't help but be sarcastic: "Is there a manager above?" ”

Unexpectedly, Gao Jie didn't hear that Liu Zhuang was sarcastic. She explained very seriously: "The managers are all foreigners. At least it was invited by Hong Kong. ”

Gao Jie's serious attitude suffocated Liu Zhuang's breath in his stomach. However, he couldn't watch Gao Jie "jump into the fire pit". So he tried to breathe a sigh of relief, and then persuaded: "Listen to me!" There is no future for hotel waiters. Even with that high salary, there will be many industries that will surpass it in a few years. As a girl, your best job is in a government agency or a white-collar ......."

"White-collar workers?" Gao Jie is the first time he has heard this new term.

Liu Zhuang immediately remembered that the word was not popular yet. So he explained: "It's White-collarworker, which corresponds to blue-collarworkers, and blue-collarworkers are Blue-collarworkers." White-collar workers are those who wear white shirts and sit in the office and sell their brains. And blue-collar workers are those who wear overalls and sell muscles on the construction site. ”

"White-collar workers, blue-collar workers? It's a fresh word. "The spirit of high purity and studious has risen again.

"Don't interrupt!" Liu Zhuang immediately asked Gu Jie to retract his attention, "Think about it, girls always have to get married and teach each other, so it's better to find a stable job." Moreover, that organ, in ancient times, was a yamen, and the officials in it were all high. And you can also look at foreign countries, which country officials do not have stable jobs, good salaries, and the benefits are quite good. Although our country is worse now, it will eventually return to normal. I estimate that within five years, fresh graduates will want to enter the government. What's more, there are many young talents among the officials, and if you find a good marriage, just wait for your wife to be expensive! ”

At first, Gao Jie listened very carefully and felt that what Liu Zhuang said did make some sense. But hearing his last words, Gao Jie couldn't help but kick Liu Zhuang lightly again.

Liu Zhuang ignored Gao Jie's small actions and continued: "Being a white-collar worker, in Shannan Province, and even in Qingdu, there are relatively few opportunities. But don't forget, in coastal areas such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, etc., there are many foreign-funded enterprises. Nowadays, there are not many people like you who know a few foreign languages. After working for a few years, you can always mix with seniors. Even if you change jobs or start your own business in the future, there will be a lot of opportunities. Besides, there are many young elites in the office, find a good marriage, open a husband and wife shop, it is all sweet and sweet. ”
