Chapter 18: Take the initiative

When there was still an intersection from the hot pot restaurant to welcome guests, Li Xuedong asked Xu Qianqian to stop the car, he didn't want to appear too high-profile in front of Sister Hong.

After all, Li Xuedong was just a part-time college student who was worried about tuition not long ago, and now he can afford to buy a cayenne of more than 2 million.

After getting out of the car, Li Xuedong asked Xu Qianqian to apply for a license plate for the car, and by the way, he went to find a relatively clean and comfortable apartment.

"Mr. Li, what location do you want an apartment?" Since accepting this all-round job, Xu Qianqian has been mentally prepared, compared with Li Xuedong, her social experience is still relatively rich, after all, the children of poor families are in charge of the family early.

"Don't always call me sir, it's weird, you just call me Brother Dong. ”

Li Xuedong always felt extremely uncomfortable being called Mr. by Xu Qianqian, after all, the two were of the same age, so he deliberately teased Xu Qianqian.

"Cut!"

Xu Qianqian saw that Li Xuedong actually took advantage of her, so she snorted coldly, but did not object, but continued to ask: "Brother Dong, what section of the apartment do you want?

Li Xuedong raised his hand and scratched his hair, showing an embarrassed expression: "I haven't thought about this yet, anyway, I believe in your vision, you can rent or buy, anyway, I have only one requirement, that is, it is best to be a single house, the environment should be comfortable, and there should be a lake nearby, basically that's it." ”

Hearing Li Xuedong say this, Xu Qianqian was directly speechless, these conditions add up to a single villa around the lake!

For such a villa, I'm afraid it will cost at least three million.

"Money is not an issue, I want to be comfortable and quiet, and not be disturbed by others. ”

Li Xuedong showed a sunny smile, he waved at Xu Qianqian, and told her to drive carefully on the road, and wait for the formalities to come here to pick him up.

Looking at Li Xuedong's back in school uniform, Xu Qianqian's mind was full of various speculations, among which the most disturbing thing for her was that Li Xuedong was a little white face maintained by a rich woman.

But there is one thing she can't understand, if Li Xuedong is really the kind of little white face who is greedy for vanity and is maintained, then how should he pay attention to his own image, how can he have a whole set of brand-name clothes, how can he be willing to wear a school uniform top and a pair of white-washed jeans on the street, this is not common sense at all!

The more she thought about it, the more complicated it became, Xu Qianqian simply stopped thinking about it, and went to give Cayenne a license first.

came to the welcome guest to the hot pot restaurant, as soon as she entered the door, Sister Hong beckoned to Li Xuedong and motioned for him to come over.

"Sister Hong. ”

Sister Hong is a noble person that Li Xuedong met when he was desperate and about to fall into a desperate situation, he regards Sister Hong as his own sister, so every time he sees Sister Hong, Li Xuedong feels inexplicably kind.

Sister Hong was wearing a red cheongsam with a high slit at the hem, revealing two slender legs.

"Dongzi, have you made up your tuition fees, do you want my sister to borrow you some more?" Sister Hong asked with a smile.

"Thank you Sister Hong for your concern, I have already paid the tuition fee. ”

Li Xuedong felt an ambiguous current in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that Sister Hong was still worried about his tuition.

Seeing Li Xuedong and Sister Hong standing alone, the two were talking and laughing, and the other male waiters in the store all showed jealous expressions, revealing an expression of eagerness to trample Li Xuedong under their feet.

In terms of qualifications, they came to work in the hot pot restaurant earlier than Li Xuedong, and some even came on the day the hot pot restaurant opened.

When it comes to appearance, they don't think Li Xuedong is handsome, they just have long eyebrows and clear eyes, and even a few male waiters think that they are no worse than Li Xuedong.

But they don't understand why Sister Hong just fell in love with Li Xuedong, and her attitude towards him was obviously different from that towards other male waitresses.

Sister Hong swept to the waiters and looked at Li Xuedong with a different look, smiled coldly at the corner of her mouth, and said to Li Xuedong: "Since there is no problem with the tuition, then you can go to the back to change your clothes, there are a lot of guests who have made an appointment today, maybe the hall and the kitchen need you to help." ”

"No problem, we are poor, but we have strength!" Li Xuedong said and bent his arms in front of Sister Hong, showing off his arm muscles like a bodybuilder.

"Okay, okay, don't be poor, hurry up and get to work. ”

Sister Hong snorted and was amused, reached out and patted Li Xuedong's arm, urging.

As Sister Hong explained, there are more guests today than in the past, generally speaking, the hot pot restaurant is more popular at night, but there are also guests coming in in an endless stream during the day, so that the whole hall is full of people, and there are many guests who have nowhere to sit.

In the end, Li Xuedong had to go up to the guests who had finished their meal and chatted, and asked them to settle the bill in a tactful way and give up their seats to the other guests.

Until about ten o'clock in the evening, the hot pot restaurant was still overcrowded, but this also showed that the business of the hot pot restaurant was relatively good.

On the contrary, the other waiters have been black-faced since the beginning of the evening, because their workload today has been several times higher than before, and they even curse in their hearts those who come to welcome customers to the hot pot restaurant, adding so much burden to them for no reason.

Some waiters saw that Li Xuedong was so diligent, and secretly scolded him in their hearts for being stupid, and he was not his own shop, why was he so diligent.

As soon as there are many guests, the kitchen in the back is tight, especially chopping ribs, which is a thankless job.

The backstage chef asked Sister Hong to find him a helper, but he was too busy to do it alone.

Sister Hong called a few male waiters together and asked them who would like to chop the ribs, and the salary would be tripled for them tonight.

The male waiters all lowered their heads, one by one, and said in their hearts, who the loves to him in this kind of hard work, anyway, Lao Tzu doesn't do it.

"Sister Hong, do you think I can do it?"

Li Xuedong saw that no one responded, so he stood up and asked.

In fact, Sister Hong didn't want Li Xuedong to do this work, the reason is that this work is really hard and delicate.

A whole row of ribs, to chop them into evenly sized sections, this not only requires a lot of strength, but also has a precise mastery, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

What's more, some people can't handle the strength well, and it is easy to grind blisters in the palms of their hands.

Among the male waiters present, except for Li Xuedong, they all had helped in the kitchen and were familiar with this process, and more importantly, they were all stronger than Li Xuedong and more suitable for this job.

Seeing that only Li Xuedong took the initiative to stand up, Sister Hong's charming eyes revealed a touch of relief and anger, and she glanced at the waiters coldly, and then stretched out her hand and pulled Li Xuedong: "Go and try it, but don't be reckless, if you can't do it, I'll arrange someone again." ”

The male waiters secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but they sneered in their hearts, glanced at each other, and waited for Li Xuedong and the others to be embarrassed.
