Chapter 105: Work, Work (2)
Receiving a call from Pete, Bai Zezhi was surprised. Pete said on the phone that he wanted to invite Bai Zezhi and Gu Youli to dinner, "MS Bai, we all listen to you, where you say to eat, what do you like to eat?" ”
Bai Zezhi is most afraid of booking restaurants and ordering food, she is more accustomed to eating ready-made meals. "I'm not very good at choosing a hotel, Pete, you can decide, I can do it."
Hanging up the phone, she thought that Pete wouldn't invite them to dinner for no reason, there must be something. But he refused to say it directly on the phone, it must be related to Gu Youli. But why ask her? Could it be that Gu Youli can't decide, it's related to her?
When she went home in the evening, she also asked Gu Youli, "Why did Pete invite us to dinner?" Invite me to dinner? Something that has never happened before. ”
Gu Youli said: "There is always a first time, Americans like to socialize with families. He is still in Shanghai today, and he will come from Shanghai tomorrow. ”
"Came all the way to invite me to dinner? No way? ”
"Of course it is, what a big face you have!" Gu Youli said not very seriously.
Bai Zezhi looked at him suspiciously, "Why do I think you have something to hide from me, it seems that there is something bad." ”
"Where there is, good things, good things, good things. It's good to have a treat. Gu Youli snorted.
The next night, Bai Zezhi went to Gu Youli after work as promised, and then met up with Pete and went to the reserved hotel together.
It is a Japanese restaurant. Bai Zezhi doesn't like Japanese food very much, on the one hand, it is not in line with the taste, and on the other hand, he thinks that the amount of small dishes is too small, and it is troublesome and not full. She looks delicate on the outside, but she can't stand the delicacy and delicacy of Japanese cuisine. But she had already said in advance that she could do anything, and now she couldn't show displeasure again.
Three people sit down and eat dishes by the skin. This old beauty is very familiar with Japanese food, and she has a soft spot for sashimi, and she is very used to eating it. Bai Zezhi couldn't eat it, so Pete said to her with a regretful face: "Zoe, this restaurant is opened by the Japanese, and it is very authentic." You really should taste it, isn't there an old saying in China, people should taste everything when they go to this world, so as not to live in vain! ”
Bai Zezhi said with a smile: "Pete, your Chinese is getting better and better, and you even know 'not in vain in this life', and you can also say 'go once'." ”
Pete looked smug. The three of them talked and laughed, only talking about food and nothing else, as if they were really just eating a meal. But Pete is an American in the end, and he can't hold back for long to speak. He said with a grim face, "Zoe, I want to ask for your forgiveness. Because I'm going to transfer your Simon to Japan for three months, and if it goes well, it might only take two months. I know you love each other, and I promise you will get the most out of your temporary separation! ”
Sure enough, nothing good, she looked back at Gu Youli, and Gu Youli looked at her with a guilty face. Since returning from a long business trip to the north, Bai Zezhi has had a long talk with him, agreeing that he must speak openly and honestly about everything in the future, and he cannot accept long-distance work.
Pete said with a sincere face: "Simon rejected me, and I persuaded him to agree to this." Zoe, please understand that this is of great benefit to our strategic development in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as to Simon himself. This benefit is not only in the money, but also in other things, which I can't tell you just yet. There is an old Chinese saying that when you are young, you have to go a little further to gain more. ”
Bai Zezhi found that Pitt added an old Chinese saying to the points he wanted to express, as if this would add weight to his words.
Pete is still saying: "There is an old saying in China, Xiao Bie is better than a newlywed, I believe that when Simon comes back, your relationship will be sweeter." ”
Bai Zezhi felt that Pete's smile at this time was very obscene and flat, and she wanted to plug his mouth with the sashimi on the table.
