Chapter 1083 Lin Chen wants to be Ximen Daguanren
Moscow Restaurant in Xicheng District
It was the first time for Chang Xingyu to come to such a beautiful western restaurant... There were already many bicycles parked at the door and young people coming in and out.
She had been to a French restaurant once before in Jinling City, but it was nothing like this. However, it was not easy for anyone to eat here...
"Director Lin, please have some mercy on me. Don't waste my three-month salary on just one meal... It's obvious that the food in such a luxurious restaurant is not cheap."
Moscow Restaurant has been open for a whole year, and Lin Chen comes here almost every two weeks. After all, there are too many people in Guanhuyuan... He has to accompany everyone to sit for a while.
Usually, Lou Xiaoe and her friends come here to play in groups of three or four... Lin Chen can't bring them along, as that would be too conspicuous.
Now, there is no ordinary person who can come here to eat...
But the manager here is one of Lin Chen's senior subordinates, so Lin Chen can afford to eat no matter how expensive it is. And he can eat whatever he wants...
"You only make 22 yuan a month now. If you really order a few expensive ones... I guess it won't be enough! But you can pay me back in installments! I'm not afraid that you'll run away... But I have to pay interest."
Chang Xingyu knew the other party was joking, so he smiled playfully: "You actually want to lend money at high interest rates! Do you believe that I will report you for exploiting the working people? If you compound the interest, I will owe you for the rest of my life."
Lin Chen looked at her and smiled mischievously... "Just like that, let's order first. My stomach is already growling... The cold braised beef tongue here is good. Let's have one first... Order whatever you want."
The little girl looked at the magnificent restaurant and decided to let Lin Chen order!
"I'm fine with that, so you can order it! Just don't make it too expensive. I only have two taels of meat coupons a month..."
Chang Xingyu said she was saving money, but she was very happy. She was willing to bear the bill for a few months to be able to eat with Lin Chen, and at a western restaurant. At worst, she could just hold on for a while...
……
The two of them ordered a table full of delicious food, and Chang Xingyu deliberately said that Lin Chen spent money lavishly... If he had known what he was ordering, he would have praised the dishes after tasting them.
"Director Lin, please don't laugh at me. I've been in Sijiu City for such a long time, but I was at your house a while ago... Sister Huairu treated me to a good meal. It's good enough to have steamed buns to eat normally!"
Lin Chen had already heard Qin Huairu's report about Chang Xingyu yesterday...
"I heard from my wife yesterday that you were going to visit Qiao Qiqi's family in the courtyard, right?"
"Well, Qiqi's mother is back! I'm going to visit her family... Director Lin, don't be too kind in the future, otherwise people will think you are a sucker. The three workers of the Qiao family are living a good life!"
Lin Chen didn't expect Chang Xingyu to tell her all this... It seemed that Meimei had told her a lot of things in the hospital.
After the two found a topic, they ate and chatted at the same time, as if Lin Chen's deliberate hooliganism had never happened.
However, Chang Xingyu's heart was no longer calm. The idea of making friends with Lin Chen a few days ago had changed. The seed deep in the girl's heart had been quietly planted...
After the two of them had their fill of food and drink, Lin Chen went to pay the bill.
Chang Xingyu couldn't accept the fifteen yuan and eighty cents bill...
After getting in the car, she muttered to herself, "A pickle costs 80 cents, this is too expensive! And that braised beef tongue... and that cake, I won't come here again!"
Lin Chen looked at the little girl's distressed expression and said with a smile: "Just tell me if it tastes good or not? These are a bit expensive, I didn't order the cheap ones... How about this, I'll treat you to this meal, and in a couple of days when you get your salary, you can treat me to a small restaurant, right? This way you don't have to scold me as an evil capitalist... oppressing you, the working people."
Chang Xingyu knew that Lin Chen's salary was high and he didn't care about this...
"No, no, I wanted to see Moscow restaurants myself. It was also my suggestion to come here, I can't go back on my word! I will pay you back slowly, and if I say it's my treat, then it's my treat... I'll just be frugal in the future!"
Chang Xingyu had no idea what Lin Chen was thinking. She was afraid that Lin Chen would get angry and no longer be friends with her tomorrow... She had to be a person of her word and not let Lin Chen look down on her!
"Can you survive without meat for half a year? You need to replenish your body now..."
Chang Xingyu originally thought that Lin Chen was concerned about him, but when he turned around, he found that Lin Chen was looking at someone he shouldn't be looking at.
"Take my punch and let you watch..."
Since Lin Chen was driving, he didn’t get away this time…
"Stop it, I'm driving..."
Chang Xingyu deliberately rolled her eyes at Lin Chen, but she was secretly delighted. She herself didn't know why, but she was teased by Lin Chen twice in one night...but she didn't feel disgusted at all, instead she liked being with the man in front of her. Was it because he was handsome...?
After the two were silent for a few minutes, Chang Xingyu lowered his head and fiddled with his nails... and took the initiative to ask.
"Director Lin, do you treat other girls like this?"
Lin Chen did not lie to her. After all, he would know sooner or later...
"Not necessarily. It depends on how pretty she is."
Chang Xingyu chuckled: "Big pig's hoof... it doesn't matter if you're pretty! You already have a son... are you going to be Chen Shimei?"
Lin Chen shook his head...
"I don't want to be him. I want to be Ximen Daguanren in Water Margin..."
Chang Xingyu was really afraid that Lin Chen would forget the old and love the new, and abandon his wife and children when he saw a beautiful woman...
"You wish... You are asking for your life. It's a new society now and you still want to have three wives and four concubines. Two years ago, all the landlords who had several wives had divorced. They were only allowed to keep one to live with..."
Lin Chen did not explain any more, and the two of them remained silent all the way. Anyway, the words had been said, and the rest was left for the little girl to figure out on her own.
Ten minutes later, outside No. 69 Courtyard
Lin Chen took out a bag of fragrant rice, a few pounds of lard, and a piece of bacon from the trunk...
"Teacher Chang, you need to make up for it! These are also lent to you. We will calculate them slowly later..."
Although Chang Xingyu didn't know what the black and sloppy things were, she was sure that they were definitely good things.
"Well... well then! Director Lin, you can just call me by my name from now on..."
After Lin Chen put his things down...
"It's okay for me not to call you Teacher Chang, but you also don't have to call me Director Lin... This is fair. Since you call Huairu sister-in-law, you should call me Brother Lin Chen from now on!"
The little girl felt even happier after hearing this, she lowered her head and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's.
"Well, thank you, Brother Lin Chen... The happiest thing about coming to Sijiu City is meeting you and Sister Huairu."
Lin Chen felt that it was enough for today, so he waved his hand and left.
