Chapter 66
A middle-aged man walked into the restaurant. Due to his thin body, the suit he was wearing looked very loose.
After the man sat down, he put the black briefcase on the table, took out a piece of paper and wiped the table carefully.
Daming raised his eyebrows slightly, showing disdain.
The waitress came over, handed out the menu politely, and then stood aside respectfully.
The man frowned slightly while holding the menu. He looked at it for a while but didn't speak, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
After a long time, the man looked up at the waiter, "Excuse me, can I have a half portion of Mushu meat?"
The waiter looked at the boss in embarrassment, but Daming didn't seem to notice it. He just flipped through a book and said indifferently, "If you can't afford it, get out! How can you pretend to be a kid if you can't afford it?"
The sound is neither loud nor low, but it is enough to be heard and understood.
The waiter shook his head apologetically.
The man patted the table and shouted: "Here comes a plate of Mushu meat, a bowl of rice, and half a catty of Erguotou!"
After the waiter memorized it, Daming snorted coldly and hummed a ditty.
Zhang Xiaobai saw all this in his eyes, and wished he could slap the boss in the face.
The kitchen is ready to cook, Zhang Xiaobai brings it up, along with a plate of peanuts.
The man looked at Zhang Xiaobai suspiciously, and Zhang Xiaobai whispered, "This is a gift, go with peanuts and rice, it's delicious!"
The man smiled gratefully.
Daming suddenly shouted: "Zhang Xiaobai! What are you doing?"
Zhang Xiaobai turned around slowly, walked towards the boss, and said in a low voice: "Keep your voice down, or the whole table will think you are giving peanuts, can you afford it?"
As soon as these words came out, Daming was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Zhang Xiaobai went to serve the dishes again.
The middle-aged man who was drinking at that table had already seen the truth of the matter, took a sip of the wine, chewed a peanut, and felt a little warm. Looking at the waiter who served the food again, the man's eyes were a little moist.
Half an hour later, the man drank and ate, and ordered food without a single grain of rice left.
After paying the bill, the man walked towards Zhang Xiaobai, clasped his hands together and said earnestly, "Thank you!"
Zhang Xiaobai, who was cleaning the table, stopped his work and said with a smile: "Brother, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. Go back and have a good sleep, and you will still be awesome when you wake up tomorrow!"
Accidentally moved out the motto of the dormitory.
The man smiled, he hadn't laughed so heartfeltly for a long time, "Okay! Tomorrow will still be amazing!"
After saying this, the man strode out.
Daming curled his lips and called Zhang Xiaobai over.
"You pay for the peanuts!"
Zhang Xiaobai originally thought that the boss would resign him, but he didn't give him a good face during the chat just now, and gave him peanuts in private, and was ready to quit, but he never thought that the boss didn't say that.
Zhang Xiaobai took out a dollar and slapped it on the table, "Just a small dish, one dollar is enough!"
It was originally two yuan a dish, but Zhang Xiaobai felt that it was wrong to spend an extra yuan.
The boss put away the money, sighed and said: "I understand that you are young and arrogant. You can help when you see injustice. I did the same when I was young. But some people don't deserve our sympathy or help at all."
The boss pointed at the door, "Did you see the restaurant opposite?"
Zhang Xiaobai knew that the restaurant opposite was called Old Taste, and a restaurant of the same level that also served home-cooked food was also the main competitor.
The boss put a cigarette in his mouth and said: "The boss is from the same town as me, and I brought him out with my own hands. Do you know how much I helped him? But that heartless person actually rebelled. Competing in the ring with me, do you think I am wronged?"
"So, now I don't show kindness to others anymore, just live my own life in a down-to-earth manner!"
Suddenly, a lady with heavy make-up came in. She was very charmingly dressed. While the boss was talking, his eyes could not help but glance over.
Zhang Xiaobai said perfunctorily, "Mmmm, the boss is right!"
Seeing that the boss is not in the mood to "confide in his heart" to himself, he quickly took the opportunity to leave.
For the boss's words, just listen to it, go in the left ear and out the right ear.
After the noon rush hour, the restaurant is quiet.
After Zhang Xiaobai cleaned up the table and washed the dishes, he sat on the stool and smoked. The boss and his wife went to take a nap, leaving him and the waitress alone.
"I still don't know your name?" Zhang Xiaobai asked suddenly.
She was sitting at the door, looking out of the door in a daze, as if looking at another world.
"My name is Zhu Hong!" she said softly.
Zhang Xiaobai walked over, "Stop doing it here, the boss is not a good guy!"
There are some things that need not be said clearly, Zhang Xiaobai knows that she must know clearly.
Zhu Hong turned to look at him and said, "I don't understand, you can earn a hundred dollars an hour, why come here? It's only four hundred dollars a month."
Zhang Xiaobai asked suspiciously, "You know me?"
Zhu Hong said: "You are a celebrity in the school, how can you not know me? I am just an unknown poor student, it is strange that you know me!"
Zhang Xiaobai said seriously: "Since you are an alumnus, I'll just say it straight. I advise you to leave here as soon as possible. Now the boss is still stuck in the eyes. I don't know what he will do in the future."
Zhu Hong sighed, "I know, is there really no way to do it? Tomorrow will be a month, and I will go home when I get my salary."
Zhang Xiaobai nodded, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Although he didn't know Zhu Hongsu, Zhang Xiaobai was really worried about this girl, for fear that she would be taken advantage of by that boss.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Xiaobai officially leaves work. The advantage of working here is that he can control his food. After closing, the chef will cook some food for his own people, and these things are often better than those eaten by the guests.
Zhang Xiaobai returned to the dormitory at 9:30, read a book after washing, borrowed a few books from the library before the holiday, and prepared to fully digest this holiday.
When he felt sleepy, Zhang Xiaobai fell asleep and continued to run to work the next day.
...
...
Snowflakes fell in the sky, and Los Angeles was completely white.
A man with a short stature and a thin face, wearing a poor-quality suit, shuttled between cities, knocking on the doors of one company after another.
With a well-crafted copy in his hand, he talked with great enthusiasm in front of those high-ranking entrepreneurs. Smiling and confident.
He had a good sleep last night and woke up today. Even though it was snowing, he was in a good mood because he heard a sentence "tomorrow will still be awesome".
Even if the other party ridicules, disdains, and reprimands coldly. From beginning to end, his expression remained the same.
Failed again!
The man walked out of the company with his waist straightened, and the goose feathers and snow were scattered all over his body. He suddenly raised his arms and pointed to the sky.
"I tell you! One day, I will change the world!"
After shouting this sentence, the man wiped his face and strode forward!
