Hank's 24-hour restaurant will only turn on two of the six ceiling lights when it opens late at night, a decision made to cater to the current low-carbon lifestyle, which is more symbolic than practical.

However, because of the dim lighting, a lit candle will be provided on the diner's table, creating a candlelit dinner atmosphere, which is even more pleasant.

Zhang Lisheng walked into the restaurant, found a seat and sat down, and the waiter brought the candlestick and the menu.

He flipped through the menu, looked at it by candlelight, and as long as he felt that he was slightly interested in the name of the dish, he did not hesitate to order it, and ordered more than a dozen dishes in one go.

"Sir, our restaurant has a lot of dishes, and I'm afraid it will be a waste if you order so much. The waiter kindly reminded.

"Thank you for the reminder, but it's okay, I just finished a very important piece of work, and today means something different to me, and I hope to be as rich as possible for this supper before a strenuous workout. ”

"I understand, sir, I'll go and prepare it for you right away. The waiter said no more, smiled and nodded, and ran into the kitchen to wake up the night cook, who was sitting on a wooden chair napping, "Mr. Huntle, a guest is coming." ”

"Tell Melody to do it, I'm too sleepy. The cook, who was no more than 170 centimeters tall but weighed at least 250 pounds, and looked like a peeled oval white potato, patted his assistant, who was also napping beside him, groggily, "Wake up Melody, go make a late night snack for the guests and go to sleep..."

"Mr. Hunttle has ordered a dozen dishes, and I'm afraid your assistant won't be able to handle it. ”

"More than a dozen dishes. What time is it, why are so many people here at once," Huntle could only stand up dissatisfied, washed his face with cold water, and refreshed himself, "Take the menu and let me see, oh, it's all big dishes!"

"Only one guest came, and it looked skinny. ”

"One guest, so many dishes. That's really...

But just because you're thin doesn't mean you can't eat it. I watched the 'Big Stomach King' contest last night, and that little skinny guy from the country of Himaru won again, hell, sixty-seven hot dogs. I don't know what kind of belly he has...", the chef muttered and began to cook. After a while, dishes were served to Zhang Lisheng's table.

Melon and ham rolls, scrambled eggs with creamy crab mushrooms, baked shell noodles with Provençal chicken... It took less than a minute or two for each dish to come to Zhang Lisheng. He swallowed it in his stomach.

Twenty minutes later, under the stunned gaze of the waiter, the boy ate alive enough food to fill the stomachs of four normal adult men. And at this time, he didn't feel the slightest bit full.

Touching his stomach, Zhang Lisheng looked at the waiter, and was about to ask him to come over and order a few more dishes, when a slight voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "Hell, I really ate it all."

I think he can also go to the 'Big Stomach' contest and devour sixty or seventy hot dogs in one go. ”

was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the voice was muttering from the waiter standing in the dim light in the distance, Zhang Lisheng's heart moved, changed his attention, and beckoned, "It's really a beautiful meal, the waiter checks out." He took out his credit card.

After paying the bill, he walked out of the hotel quickly, and when he started the car, he said to himself regretfully, "Swallow the heavens and the earth, it seems that I may not be able to eat enough for the rest of my life...", and turned the throttle onto the street, heading in the direction of Queens.

The car had just passed two blocks when the teenager suddenly received a call from Tina.

Since being admitted to the hospital, Tina has flown back to New York to visit him almost every two weeks, but this is the first time she has called so late.

"Tina, is there something wrong?"

"Baby, you're out of the hospital, aren't you?" cried the girl to the sound of loud music.

"Yes, how do you know the way?"

"Professor McDonnell was sick, I went back to New York early, I was going to see you tomorrow, but I met Anne at the Eros Bar, the daughter of lawyer Edward, and she said that she heard his father tell you that you were discharged from the hospital, and you are still in the workshop. ”

"Yes, but I'm not in the workshop right now, I've just finished my supper and I'm driving around the streets of New York. ”

"Oh that's great, come to Manhattan 'Eros', I miss you, Tracey and Cheria are here too, anyway, Cheria has a new boyfriend and is with us..."

"What does it have to do with Xie Liya having a boyfriend," Zhang Lisheng awkwardly fiddled with the car navigation, "I'll go over to the Manhattan 'Eros Bar' right away, and I'll see you later." ”

The boy hung up the phone and followed the instructions of the navigator for more than forty minutes on the square streets of New York, before finally parking the car outside a nightclub where the lights were flashing and the music was noisy when the gate was opened.

Although the store is also in Manhattan, the location is long away from the Upper West Side.

Zhang Lisheng walked past the people in line, walked to the door of the nightclub with a huge 'Eros Bar' sign on the outer wall, and called Tina, "I've arrived." ”

After a while, Tina, who was dressed in a sexy white ultra-short and had been a little drunk, ran out of the nightclub, and after a long kiss, the girl took Zhang Lisheng's hand and ran back to the nightclub without looking at the security guard in front of the Eros bar.

Walking into the Eros Bar, although it is also dimly lit and smoky like a normal nightclub, the style is much more noble than that of ordinary young New Yorkers.

This is evidenced by the warm and unconventional expensive décor of the shop, the fact that there is not a single drink in the wine cabinet that sells for less than 100 meters, and the sumptuous food on the tables of some customers.

Obviously, although the nightclub is located in Manhattan's 'blue-collar district' in the broadest sense of the word, its main customers are the wealthy young people of New York City.

Tina led the boy all the way inside, walked to a semi-open box against the wall, and shouted, "Look, who's coming?"

"Oh, Li Sheng, Li Sheng, are you okay baby..."Xie Liya, who was a little confused, saw Zhang Lisheng walk into the box, jumped up from the sofa in surprise, gave the boy a hug, and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hi Li Sheng, congratulations on your discharge from the hospital. Tricy on the side also stood up, smiled sincerely, and kissed Zhang Lisheng's cheek as well.

"Thank you. Zhang Lisheng smiled back at the two girls.

"Baby, I'll introduce you to a few new friends, this is Annie, the daughter of your chief legal officer, Attorney Edward, and this is her boyfriend, Joey.

This is Sonia, Cheria's new boyfriend in college.

Christina, Sonia's younger sister, was also our college classmate.

Dukeley, Tracy's most fervent suitor, decided not to return to Los Angeles for Christmas in New York this year..."

"Tina Doegria—" Tricy exclaimed in annoyance at Tina's most frustrating words.

"Tricy's suitor, what about that saliva gentleman, Harrick, did he break up with Tricy?" Zhang Lisheng asked casually when he thought of it.

Tracey's face suddenly became even more ugly, and the girl's tall and strong suitor immediately glared at Shao, and it seemed that if it hadn't been for the presence of several girls, he would have taught a small lesson to the thin boy whose face was changing in the ever-changing light.

The atmosphere in the box became a little awkward, Tina glared at Zhang Lisheng, and hurriedly said, "Harrick has stopped contacting Tracy for a long time, maybe he himself doesn't feel suitable to be with Tracy." ”

"He doesn't look so sensible..."Remembering Harrick's stubborn performance when the 'Elizabeth Holiday' was stranded on the island of the otherworld, Zhang Lisheng pursed his lips and sat down on the sofa in the box noncommittally.

Then he stretched out his hand to the beautiful and touching Anne and said, "Miss Anne, your father is one of my important collaborators, and I have heard him mention you a long time ago, and it is a pleasure to know you. ”

Encountering a young man of the opposite sex in a nightclub who greeted him so formally, and this person was still the legendary boss in her father's mouth, Anne was stunned for a moment and shook the young man's hand, "Hello Mr. Li Sheng, I often hear my father mention you."

But I really didn't expect that the legendary figure in his mouth who immediately integrated the slaughtering industry in the entire New York metropolitan area was like you, as an industrialist with an annual income of more than 100 million meters, you really look too young, really young. ”

Hearing Anne say Zhang Lisheng's worth, several young people who didn't know him were slightly taken aback.

But for Harvard's first-year students, they've heard too many examples of former seniors and seniors who have become billionaires, big scientists, or well-known politicians after their successful careers.

These elites at the top of the social hierarchy are not mysterious to them.

And the young and vigorous age in their teens and twenties and their high self-esteem still make them not understand that even if they receive exactly the same education, their IQ is almost the same, and what others can do does not mean that they can also do it, so these young people were surprised, and their attitude towards Zhang Lisheng did not change much.

"Thank you.

Don't forget to say hello to Mr. Edward when I get home tonight. ”

"Go home, no, no, no, Li Sheng, we won't go home tonight, and we'll go to watch the New Year's special match of the Professional Wrestling League of the United States together later. ”

"Shelia, I'm sure you can not go home, but Tina, Tricy, and Miss Annie..."

"Oh, dear Lisheng, our parents don't know that we are back to New York today, and as for Anne, her father will be working all night in the office for your workshop, and her mother is now in Paris, and will not be back until the day before Christmas.

We're free this night, toast to freedom!" Helia shouted as she raised her glass.

"For a night of freedom!", the boys and girls in the box clinked glasses with Celia, grinning and shouting, and drank half a glass of strong whiskey with ice and water. (To be continued.) )
