Chapter 19: Slapped in the face
Hao Ren listened to Chen Yao's words and knew that the other party didn't want to break the bank, so he didn't say anything, but his heart moved, and then asked the system.
"System, can you strengthen the red wine?"
The profit of red wine is so big, if it can be strengthened, he will multiply it tenfold, sell it twenty times, a bottle of hundreds of thousands, this is not much better than him selling some bread here bitterly.
This time, the system seemed to be silent for a moment, and then said, "Host, put away your unrealistic thoughts, this system can indeed strengthen any item, but now it is only one level, the enhancement energy is limited, the higher the value of the item, the more energy is needed to strengthen, and the red wine that the host said is currently not within the scope of the enhancement of this system." ”
"If the host wants to strengthen the red wine, then hurry up and raise the level, if the host can be upgraded to the ninth level, not to mention the red wine, the nuclear bomb can be strengthened!"
Hearing the system's explanation, Hao Ren sighed helplessly in his heart, sure enough, he thought too much, and now his small shop is not worthy of strengthening the high-end color of red wine.
In fact, he was not much disappointed, if the system could strengthen all kinds of items now, why would he sell bread, what things are expensive, what things are of high value, what he sells, within ten years, the richest man in the world will be his.
The three of them talked, and soon, the meal they ordered came up, Hao Ren was eating steak for the first time, clumsily cutting steak with a knife and fork, which made Chen Yao and Lu Sisi snicker.
Chen Yao cut the steak and wanted to exchange it with Hao Ren, but Hao Ren disagreed.
"No, I can't eat Western, but I can use chopsticks."
Unconvinced, Hao Ren called the waiters over and asked them if they had chopsticks.
"Chopsticks?" The waiter was extremely stunned, and even suspected that he had a problem with his ears, they were a Western restaurant, and the customer actually asked him for chopsticks.
"Sir, I'm sorry, this is a Western restaurant, and we don't have chopsticks."
Although he was extremely surprised and puzzled, he still resisted the urge to explode and said politely.
Chen Yao and Lu Sisi on the opposite side were also taken aback by Hao Ren, and when they heard Hao Ren asking for chopsticks, their faces turned red, and they felt embarrassed and thrown home.
"What a broken restaurant, not even chopsticks!"
Hao Ren opened his mouth dissatisfied, and the next moment, he directly forked the steak with a fork and gnawed it, like gnawing on a pig's trotters.
This operation made the waiter on the side widen his eyes, and Chen Yao and the two women on the opposite side almost lowered their heads under the table.
The corners of the waiter's mouth twitched, he really didn't want to watch it, and left like a ghost, he was afraid that he would laugh if he stayed any longer.
When the waiter left, Chen Yao and the two raised their heads, looked at Hao Ren's eating of peonies, glanced at each other, and one of them stretched out a kick and kicked Hao Ren's leg fiercely.
"Hao Ren, you are shameless, we still want it, can we pay attention?"
Chen Yao roared angrily.
Hao Ren was interrupted by the two, and with some embarrassment, he put the steak down and said stupidly, "I didn't mean it, whoever made this steak still use a knife and fork." ”
"Big brother, this is a Western restaurant." Chen Yao was a little speechless.
Having said that, Chen Yao still taught Hao Ren how to use knives and forks, and Lu Sisi on the side interjected and laughed twice from time to time, which was also interesting.
"Chen Yao, you are also here."
Just as Hao Ren was studying, a surprised voice suddenly came from the side, Hao Ren and Chen Yao turned their heads at the same time, and found a young man in casual clothes standing in front of them, wearing a piece of golden Rolex on his hand, looking at Chen Yao with a look of surprise.
"Have a meal with friends." Chen Yao looked at the other party, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still showed a smile, got up and spoke.
"Who is this? I rarely see Chen Yao you have dinner with boys, I don't know if you can introduce me, which young man can have this honor to invite you to dinner. ”
The other party looked at Hao Ren and asked curiously, but when he saw the miserable steak that was bitten in front of Hao Ren, the corners of his mouth lifted a smile.
"By the way, let me introduce myself first, I am Lu Chuan, Lu of the land, Sichuan of the mountains and rivers, and my family runs a factory."
Looking at the other party's smile, a picture of the dress and tone of an upper-class boy, Hao Ren didn't know how to introduce himself.
"This is my friend Hao Ren, who runs a small shop, unlike Lu Gongzi's wealthy family, is Lu Gongzi a treat, or is it business?"
Chen Yao didn't introduce Hao Ren much, and changed the topic.
"It turned out to be Boss Hao, you can become friends with Chen Yao, it seems that it's not as simple as opening a small shop, haha, it's okay, have a meal with friends, by the way, why don't you order a bottle of red wine, this restaurant has recently imported some pretty good quality red wine from France, I remember Chen Yao, don't you like to drink?"
Lu Chuan nodded and opened his mouth with a smile. As if thinking of something, Lu Chuan smiled,
"I'm a member of this restaurant, you can order it casually, and it will be recorded in my account, just when I invited Chen Yao and your friends to drink, I invited you to eat before, you kept saying that you were not free, this time you must give me a chance to show it."
Lu Chuan's words were extremely enthusiastic, and all his attention was on Chen Yao, as for Hao Ren, except for a few polite words at the beginning, the other party didn't even look at him twice.
However, this made Hao Ren's self-esteem suffer a great impact, this is whether he invited guests to dinner or not, how to make Lu Chuan seem to be the master here.
It's just red wine, I really think I can't afford to drink it!
Hao Ren was angry in his heart, and obviously noticed Lu Chuan's disdain and targeting of him from the bones, although the other party didn't say it explicitly, but this kind of behavior was slapping him in the face!
"Recently, my taste has changed, I am a little allergic to red wine, Lu Gongzi's kindness is understood, and I will invite Lu Shao to dinner next time I have the opportunity."
Chen Yao glanced at Hao Ren's somewhat discolored face, frowned even tighter, secretly gave Hao Ren a look, let him calm down, and said to Lu Chuan, Lu Sisi on the side looked at all this with some restraint, looking at Hao Ren for a while, looking at Lu Chuan for a while, and not daring to take a breath in the atmosphere.
Lu Chuan shook his head and smiled when he heard Chen Yao's words, "Chen Yao, you are still so polite, forget it, I, an outsider, will not disturb your dinner, and we will get together again when we have time in the future." ”
After speaking, Lu Chuan left, but before leaving, he glanced at Hao Ren and said with a chuckle, "Boss Hao's way of eating steak is so unique, if we have time another day, we can discuss it." ”
When the other party left, Hao Ren's face was cold, if it wasn't for Chen Yao's glances at him before, with his temper, he would have exploded a long time ago.
The trace of ridicule and provocation in the other party's words could be felt even by a pig, and when the other party left, Chen Yao glanced at Hao Ren with some concern and asked, "Hao Ren, are you okay?" ”
Hao Ren came back to his senses, looked at Chen Yao and Lu Sisi with worried looks, took a deep breath, and suddenly chuckled, "It's okay, what's the matter with me, isn't it that the steak can't be eaten, what is this, can't the steak be eaten without a knife and fork?" ”
As he spoke, Hao Ren directly stretched out his hand and took the steak and nibbled it again, this time, Chen Yao and Lu Sisi didn't say anything more.
"Lu Chuan is a rich second generation, his family runs a factory, specializing in the production of potato chips, with a market value of seventy or eighty million, don't take his words to heart just now."
Chen Yao said softly, pointing out Lu Chuan's background, a company with a market value of seven or eighty million may not be anything in the country, but in Liuzhou, it is also a big enterprise.
At least in the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely the rich class.
Chen Yao's words were also reminding Hao Ren that there were two different levels between them, and there was no need to care about each other's words.
"It's funny, there are people who come to eat steak like this, the standard of this restaurant is so low, anyone can come in."
Diagonally opposite, a man and a woman sat opposite each other, and the woman whispered disdainfully.
"Haha, I guess it's another dumpling that has never seen the world, I want to learn from the rich second generation to make a girl, and I don't look at how many catties and taels I have, I can't eat steak and come to a Western restaurant."
The men also spoke quietly, their voices were low, but on the quiet third floor, the sound came to their ears clearly.
These words are more like a sharp sword, which blows Hao Ren's fragile self-esteem cleanly, but he can't refute it.
This meal became extremely boring after Lu Chuan's arrival, Chen Yao and Lu Sisi didn't even say anything, and after eating hastily, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
Hao Ren called the waiter, Hao Ren paid the bill, a total of 5,700 yuan, and walked out of the store in the voice of the little girl at the front desk "Welcome to the next visit".
As soon as the cold wind blew at night, Hao Ren felt that the temperature on his body had finally dropped a little, looking at the traffic in front of him, Hao Ren squeezed out a smile on his face, "You guys came by car?" ”
Chen Yao nodded, and Hao Ren continued, "Since this is the case, then you should be careful on the road and say it when you get home." ”
When Chen Yao and the two left, Hao Ren took a taxi and returned to his rental house.
In Chen Yao's car, Lu Sisi looked at Chen Yao with some concern, "Sister Yao, is Hao Ren really okay?" I think he seems to be emotionally unstable. ”
"I didn't expect Lu Chuan to be there, this guy has been pursuing me before, but I don't like him, and I usually don't care much about him, this time it's really a narrow road, and Hao Ren hit this guy hard, fortunately Hao Ren endured it, he opened a shop, if he offends a local snake like Lu Chuan, he can't survive in Liuzhou City."
Chen Yao sighed and spoke a little irritably.
"Sister Yao, isn't it, this is a local tyrant who can inherit tens of millions of assets in the future, you are not satisfied, this is too much!"
Lu Sisi had an exaggerated expression.
"You know, where do people like them really care about people like us, in their eyes, we are just tools to play with."
Chen Yao said calmly, "So, Sisi, when you graduate in the future, it's best not to choose such a rich second generation, at least don't jump into this fire pit before you don't have the strength to match." ”
"I won't enter any wealthy family, just be a free foodie." Ruth Sisi's playful opening.
"But this also taught Hao Ren a lesson, he swelled after earning a little, slapped his swollen face and became fat, now he should know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world."
Chen Yao continued.
"I'm afraid that he will be too stimulated and can't think about it." Lu Sisi said helplessly.
"Don't worry, although this guy has a lot of self-esteem, this setback won't break him."
Chen Yao shook his head, but he had confidence in Hao Ren.
At this time, Hao Ren was very calm all the way, and when he returned home, he took a hot bath and went to bed.
At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Hao Ren arrived at the store on time and started business.
