Chapter 577: Wonderful Performance
For this dissatisfaction of the guests, the waiter of the BRICS Hotel is obviously not the first time to face it, with an apologetic smile on his face, quietly listened to Zhang Lisheng's complaints, and the waitress said: "I'm sorry sir, although it is very unreasonable, but this is the hotel's rules, I can't help it, please forgive me." ”
"Oh, okay, okay, I understand that you don't blame it, in this goddamn era of magic, science fiction hodgepodge, maybe barter is the normal means of trading in the future," seeing the waiter apologize, Zhang Lisheng seemed to calm down a little, "Then what food can Solo buy now?"
"Rainforest-inspired barbecue monkey meat and Amazon fruit platter. The waitress replied with a smile on her might.
"It's an appetite to listen to, and after seven years in the Amazon, I've finally been reduced to eating monkeys for a living, and that's great. The young man took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, took out a handful of Solo from his pocket, handed it to the waitress, and said hatefully, "Then let's have a platter of barbecue meat and wild fruits."
The rest of the money counts as a tip, and it's about to turn into a pile of waste paper anyway.
"Thank you, sir. The waiter nodded in thanks and immediately turned to leave, looking at her distant back, Zhang Lisheng suddenly stood up as if he couldn't hold back his anger, and yelled, "It's really damned." He made a boxing gesture that immediately caught the attention of the rest of the restaurant.
In the astonished glances cast around, the young man seemed to have finally calmed down, and explained incoherently and embarrassedly: "Sorry guys, I'm not an uneducated barbarian, but a doctor of natural resources from Penn State.
It's that they've gone too far. It was also very difficult for me to pay for gold instead of accepting the official currency issued by the Tattuttu government.
I'm afraid I'm going to sleep on the streets tomorrow, you know, when this kind of thing happens, people will always be in control of their feelings for a while.
Sorry, oh, I seem to have said too much, but I'm sorry guys. ”
The young man's apologetic words turned the eyes cast around him into sympathy, but for a while, no one spoke kindly to help. Until a slightly hoarse female voice sounded. "Sir, I just heard you say that you have a Ph.D. in natural resources from Penn State University and have been in the Amazon for seven years, are you doing natural research here?"
"Oh. Yes ma'am. After graduating with a PhD, I was asked by the Baudry Institute. They came to do postdoctoral research in Amazon's comprehensive real room, stayed for two years, and became a full-fledged researcher. Zhang Lisheng was stunned. With a nostalgic expression, "Originally, I had the opportunity to teach at the university, but now I stay in Noah's World and live a comfortable life."
But I have the 'Amazon Obsession', this mysterious, gorgeous primeval jungle attracts me like a drug, I love it, study it, and dedicate almost a qiē to it, even if the scientists in the real room leave here, and in the end I am alone, I don't care.
But in the end, the reward was sleeping on the streets. The young man sat back in his seat in frustration like a deflated ball.
"That's not necessarily," looking at Zhang Lisheng's cloudy face, Guo Caiying secretly laughed in her heart, but calmly pondered for a moment on the surface, and said: "Maybe you will soon be able to find a new job with good pay because of your intensive research in the Amazon jungle." ”
"Oh my God, do you mean you're going to hire me?" Zhang Lisheng said loudly with a look of desperation on his face, his eyes wide.
"It depends on how valuable you are, by the way, what is your name?" Guo Caiying asked with a smile.
"JohnLiuFu (Fu Luren), my name is Fu Luren," the young man eagerly ran to the girl's side, and sat down unceremoniously like a conceited, troubled, and a bit nerdy Mi Chinese, "As for the value, if it involves the field of natural science in the Amazon, I can say that you will be satisfied." ”
"I hope your knowledge is as conceited as you say," Guo Caiying smiled noncommittally and asked in Mandarin, "The name is Fu Luren, are you Chinese?"
"My parents are Chinese, and they only took me to immigrate to the United States when I was ten years old," Zhang Lisheng's eyes lit up, and he also asked excitedly in Chinese: "Are you also Chinese?"
"Of course, we are a diplomatic mission to Tattutu on behalf of the Chinese government. The girl replied with a smile.
"Diplomatic mission," the young man deliberately looked dumbfounded, "In this hellish era, the Chinese government, the Chinese government will send a diplomatic mission to the Amazon, this is really ridiculous, not to mention that the country of Tattutu is now not even a currency, and whether the government can save zài is a problem..."
Guo Caiying suddenly planned to hire 'foreign aid', and many people at the same table showed stunned and minded expressions, but because of her special family background and status, no one dared to stop her face-to-face.
At this time, listening to Zhang Lisheng's disrespectful words, a young man sitting in the third place on Guo Caiying's left hand looked polite and polite, with a pair of golden eyes on the bridge of his nose, seized the opportunity and said: "The more critical the moment, the more we earthlings must unite together and work together to deal with possible crises, isn't it, Dr. Fu."
If you don't have such awareness, or even doubt us, then it will be difficult to work with us..."
The young man was obedient and hurriedly said: "Oh no sir, I have consciousness, can we deal with the crisis together, OK, as long as it can give me a new job, I can have any kind of consciousness."
Diplomatic corps, you are diplomatic corps, ah, I have seen this movie and know that as a temporary employee you must not ask any questions and you must not be curious.
Rest assured, I'm only working, and while I don't know the use of a diplomatic mission hiring a natural resource scientist, at least I can do it without asking anything. ”
"Then it's decided," Guo Caiying immediately said arbitrarily: "As long as you can show your value, then you will find a new job Dr. Fu, is the pay, one ounce of gold a day." ”
"An ounce of gold is a steak of money, oh, ma'am, it was a pretty good pay if it used to be, but now it doesn't seem so generous. Zhang Lisheng joked.
"Doctor, if you don't spend money at the top five-star 'Golden Brick Hotel' in Tuyi Cano, you will find that in fact, one ounce of gold is enough for a person to live a simple life for a long time, and during the period of employment, your room and board are free. Guo Caiying said with a smile.
"When a man has been exploring alone in the primeval jungle for ten days, only the best material comforts can relieve his fatigue, isn't it," the young man pouted and muttered in a low voice, "It's my habit...
But well, I don't have the capital to talk about a salary now, I'll listen to you, ma'am, an ounce is an ounce, just leave it to me, and you'll soon understand how wise it was to hire me..."
As soon as Zhang Lisheng's words fell, he suddenly saw the waiter walking towards the place where he was sitting with a plate of blackened barbecue and a full basin of clean, dripping vegetables and fruits that were still dripping with water droplets, and immediately waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Hey, Miss waiter, here, I am sitting with the new boss." ”
Seeing Zhang Lisheng's noisy appearance, the polite man who spoke just now couldn't help frowning, but after looking at Guo Caiying, who had a calm face, he finally swallowed what he wanted to say, and the others even acquiesced to Guo Caiying's employment of 'foreign aid' noncommittally, so far the young man and the girl tacitly conspired together...
Pretending to be bitter, he slowly finished enjoying the monkey meat feast, and when the Chinese mission personnel were also finished, Zhang Lisheng seized the opportunity to hint to the girl: "Boss, can you pay me for some desserts and coffee, it's not a perfect meal without them?"
"Of course, it seems that you have maintained a very leisurely eating habits, doctor," Guo Caiying smiled elegantly when she heard the qin, beckoned to the waitress not far away, ordered two dim sum coffees and said, "Then I will also have a dessert and coffee, and by the way, I will talk to you about what your job is." ”
Guo Caiying wants to stay and eat dessert, and the rest of the Chinese mission will naturally not stop her, of course, in this case, no one will follow and order another dessert and coffee to accompany her.
A man in his fifties, square-faced, big-mouthed, and wearing a gray suit who sat across from the girl and spoke little during the whole dinner, but always smiled, stood up first and said, "Director Guo, you are young, and you can digest everything you eat, my old man's stomach can't restrain sweets, so I can only go back to the room first."
Wait a minute, the comrades of the Religious Affairs Administration, I will ask them to keep two, and if there is any new situation, we will contact us by phone at any time. ”
"Director Song, among the middle-level cadres of various ministries and commissions, your age is the time to take the lead, and it's not good to serve the elderly," Guo Caiying also replied jokingly: "Okay, if you have any instructions tonight, you can call me and see you tomorrow morning if you have nothing to do." ”
Hearing the girl's polite words, the old man nodded with a brighter smile, turned around and walked towards the door of the restaurant, except for Guo Caiying and Zhang Lisheng, everyone else naturally followed him and left the restaurant.
"I'm doing a good job, senior sister," Seeing the Chinese mission disappear, Zhang Lisheng smiled proudly at Guo Caiying and asked, "But what about the Taoist priests I saw at noon, don't they eat with you?"
"Originally, they ate together, but then the atmosphere between the Taoist priest, the monk, the mullah, and your fellow disciples was so solemn that everyone was uncomfortable, so they ate separately.
Look at the box over there, haven't all the Taoist disciples come out, it seems that they have just finished dinner. Guo Caiying pointed to the box in the corner of the restaurant and replied, Zhang Lisheng inadvertently looked in the direction of her finger, but his body suddenly froze. (To be continued......)
