Chapter 690 Awkward dinner, the official start of school
"Zhou Chen, won't you go to dinner with us?"
After finishing cleaning up, Jiang Yunming and the others saw Zhou Chen sitting at their table indifferently and asked.
Zhou Chen looked at his mobile phone, shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry for the moment. When I get hungry later, I will go out to eat by myself."
Because they came out of the military camp early in the morning, it was not even eight o'clock when they arrived at school, and it was only nine o'clock now. The school cafeteria was still open, so there was absolutely no problem in having breakfast.
However, Zhou Chen ate something when he came in the morning, so he is not too hungry now and plans to wait until noon to have a good meal outside.
"Okay, let's leave first. We may not come back after dinner."
Jiang Yunming and the other three waved their hands at Zhou Chen. They had discussed it on the way here and went to the Internet cafe after dinner.
After the college entrance examination, they had fun for more than two months, and were suddenly put into a completely closed military training for twenty days. Now that they were finally released, they couldn't wait.
For boys, going to an Internet cafe to play games is the simplest and most entertaining thing.
"Okay, I get it."
Although Zhou Chen also plays games, he no longer has the desire to go to an Internet cafe. If he is in the dormitory or at home, that's fine.
After Jiang Yunming and the others left, Zhou Chen continued to use his mobile phone to surf the Internet and search for things he was interested in.
Among them, the stock market is his biggest concern, because he needs to make money now.
Although he still has more than 200,000 yuan in savings in his card, it is now 2015 and he is used to a lifestyle where he has no shortage of money. This amount of money is still too little and is not enough to spend.
Therefore, one of his top priorities now is to make money.
If you don't have an industry and don't have enough capital, the stock market is one of the best ways to make money.
There were very few listed companies that he was familiar with, and Zhou Chen was not prepared to hold them. With the idea of making a fortune and leaving, he carefully selected them for a long time.
That is to say, his funds are too small, otherwise he would want to do foreign exchange.
"The mobile phone is still inconvenient. It seems that we need to fix the computer as soon as possible."
It is now 15 years, and smartphones have come out, but operating the stock market is definitely not as convenient as a computer.
During the military training, Zhou Chen had already taken a fancy to several good stocks and paid attention to some information about these stocks, so he planned to buy them immediately after he got the computer.
As he watched, he felt sleepy, and Zhou Chen took advantage of the situation and took a nap.
Girls dormitory 412.
Naturally, girls tidy up much slower than boys. It took the four of us more than two hours to tidy up.
While Zhong Bai and Li Shuci were discussing what to eat, Lin Luoxue, who was ready, looked around and found that one person was missing.
"Zhong Bai, Shu Ci, where is Yi Xin?"
Zhong Bai replied casually: "Yixin went out to find a driving school, saying that Zhou Chen wanted to learn to drive, and she wanted to get Zhou Chen's money as soon as possible."
Lin Luoxue felt doubly amused: "This is too hasty, she was really manipulated by Zhou Chen."
Even the three roommates found Gu Yixin's idea of making money strange.
"Zhong Bai, Shu Ci, my friend invited me to dinner. His family owns a Western restaurant. He said the taste is very good. Come with me."
"Luo Xue, is your friend a boy?" Zhong Bai asked.
"yes."
Zhong Bai hesitated and said, "My friend invites you to dinner and we go with him. Isn't that good?"
Lin Luo
Give Yixin a call and she will definitely come."
Zhong Bai did not answer immediately, but looked at Li Shuci, who stared with an innocent look on his face.
Zhong Bai thought for a moment, and since Lin Luoxue said so, there should be no problem. They had nothing to do anyway.
"Okay, Shu Ci and I will sort it out."
"It's okay, don't be in a hurry, there's plenty of time."
Zhong Bai and Li Shuci put on their makeup and tidied up for a while before the three of them left the dormitory. Lin Luoxue also called Gu Yixin and asked her to wait at the school gate, and the four of them went there together.
While taking a taxi to the restaurant, Zhong Bai suddenly received a call from Lu Qiaochuan. After asking Lin Luoxue for instructions, Zhong Bai agreed to let Lu Qiaochuan and his dormitory go with them.
"Luo Xue, thank you." Zhong Bai thanked him.
Lin Luoxue said elegantly: "What's the matter? We are all classmates. It's just a meal. Don't take it to heart. Besides, it's not my invitation."
Zhong Bai said: "Even if you didn't invite me, it's still your friend's restaurant. We should pay for it ourselves."
"How can that be done? If you do that, you will be slapping me in the face. Okay, don't think so much."
Lin Luoxue waved her hands, she really didn't want Zhong Bai to be too polite to her.
"But if Lu Qiaochuan and the others are here, they can also call Zhou Chen. I promised him to treat him to dinner before."
Thinking of this, Lin Luoxue immediately took out her mobile phone and started dialing Zhou Chen's number.
While sleeping, his cell phone rang, and Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes.
"Hey, Lin Luoxue, are you okay?"
"…………"
"Well, this, okay, I understand, that's it, I'll go over now."
Zhou Chen got up from bed, and Lin Luoxue asked him to have dinner with him, which was indeed a bit beyond his expectation. He originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard that Lu Qiaochuan and the others were going, he thought about it and agreed.
I remember this happened in the plot, and the process seemed very interesting.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Chen arrived at the school gate. Just as he was about to take a taxi, he saw the five people from Luqiaochuan laughing and chatting together.
"Zhou Chen?"
The five people in Luqiaochuan were also very surprised when they saw Zhou Chen: "Are you going out too?"
Zhou Chen asked: "You should be going to have dinner with Lin Luoxue and the others, right?"
"Is it you too?"
The five people in Luqiaochuan were even more surprised.
Zhou Chen nodded, and Yu Hao said happily: "That's great, let's go together, there are just two taxis."
Lu Qiaochuan asked: "Did Lin Luoxue invite you?"
Zhou Chen knew that Lu Qiaochuan's question was simply because he was interested in Lin Luoxue, and Lin Luoxue might have taken the initiative to invite him, which was a bit unpleasant to Lu Qiaochuan.
"Um."
At this time, Ren Yifan said in a playful way: "Zhou Chen, what is going on? We know that we are going to Lin Luoxue's friend to have a meal. What is going on, we don't know."
"He was a rich second generation who was pursuing Lin Luoxue. He wanted to invite Lin Luoxue to his restaurant for dinner. Lin Luoxue called Zhong Bai and the others, and then you also went, so she also called me.
,It's that simple."
"The rich second generation pursuing Lin Luoxue? This Lin Luoxue is really charming."
Ren Yifan lamented that as a scumbag, he could feel that Lin Luoxue was of the same type as her, so he was not surprised at all that Lin Luoxue was pursued by a rich second generation.
Xiao Haiyang said with an indifferent expression: "Oh, why do you care so much? The most important thing now is to eat. I want to eat meat. The car is here, stop inking and get in the car quickly."
Six people, divided into two groups, got into two taxis.
Lu Qiaochuan, Ren Yifan and Xiao Haiyang were in one car; Zhou Chen, Yu Hao and Bi Shisan were in one car and headed straight for their destination.
In the taxi, Yu Hao said with a smile: "Zhou Chen, Lin Luoxue called you alone. It seems that your relationship is unusual."
Zhou Chen said: "Other men asked her to have dinner together, and she called us over. How unusual do you think our relationship can be?"
"That's right."
Yu Hao scratched his head and remembered that it wasn't Lin Luoxue's situation later, but Lin Luoxue's friends were treating him.
"But how do you know that Lin Luoxue's friend is a boy?"
"Is there any need to guess?"
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's National Day holiday. Do you want to go to Chaozhou with me?"
"No, I still have things to do during the National Day holiday. Let's talk about it during the winter vacation. Maybe I can go to your place to celebrate the New Year."
"If you are discerning, let me tell you, the winter in Chaozhou is really warm. If you go to our place to celebrate the New Year, you will definitely be able to bring your family with you. I will entertain you all the way, and I guarantee that you will
Eat well and drink well without spending a penny."
Yu Hao was very enthusiastic. After Zhou Chen helped him, he decided that Zhou Chen was a person worthy of close friendship. As for spending money, does that count?
Zhou Chen said: "Even if I want to go, it will only be me. Now I am alone and have no family."
"ah?"
After hearing this, Yu Hao's face suddenly stiffened, and then he reacted: "I'm sorry, Zhou Chen, I don't know..."
"It doesn't matter, this is not a secret that cannot be mentioned." Zhou Chen didn't care.
Seeing Zhou Chen's unconcerned expression, Yu Hao didn't know what to say to comfort Zhou Chen, and his lively energy disappeared in an instant.
Bi Shisan glanced at Zhou Chen in surprise. Zhou Chen had a bold and confident personality, was ruthless, and was generous with his money. He thought that Zhou Chen's family was well off, but he didn't expect that Zhou Chen would give him the same.
Alone.
The destination was in the city, and the taxi didn't stop until we reached a tall building.
After getting off the car, Xiao Haiyang said in surprise: "Is this right here? Qiaochuan."
Lu Qiaochuan glanced at his phone: "The address Zhong Bai sent me is here, the 56th floor of this building."
Ren Yifan raised his head and looked at the building in front of him: "The 56th floor should be almost the top floor. It will definitely cost a lot to eat here."
Yu Hao said openly: "Why do you care so much? Brother Hao, I'm almost starving to death. Hurry up and go upstairs."
A group of six people walked into the building in a grand manner, passed the elevator, and headed towards the 56th floor.
"Damn, it's really magnificent, isn't it?"
Arriving at the lobby on the 56th floor, Lu Qiaochuan and others were very surprised when they saw the magnificent and shining hall.
Originally they thought it was just an ordinary Western restaurant, but looking at the environment here, it was obviously a bit high-end, which made them even more curious about Lin Luoxue's friend.
Soon a waiter came to greet them. After confirming Zhou Chen's identity, he led them upstairs to a large private room.
This private room is very large, and the windows are floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can see the scenery outside. Standing on the 50th floor, looking down at the bottom, it gives people an indescribable feeling.
In the private room, the host of the western restaurant, Lin Luoxue's rich second-generation friend, was warmly entertaining Lin Luoxue and the four of them, saying this with a smile on his face.
But when Zhou Chen and his group of six people walked into the private room, the smile on his face instantly froze. He looked at Zhou Chen and the others at a loss, then turned his stiff neck and looked at Lin Luoxue.
Lin Luoxue smiled and said, "Chris, these are my classmates. I'll trouble you today."
Chris smiled in a forced manner. If there were only female classmates, he would still be happy to invite them, but when six male classmates came at once, he felt uncomfortable. What do you think of him?
But he had evil intentions towards Lin Luoxue, so he had to maintain his image. The last thing a man can do in front of a woman is face.
"It doesn't matter, Luo Xue, your classmates are my classmates."
After saying that, he immediately asked the waiter to arrange for Zhou Chen and the six of them to sit down.
This is a rectangular table. Chris, as the host, sits in the middle, Lin Luoxue and the four girls sit on the left side by the window, and Zhou Chen and others sit on the right side.
But when it was Bi Shisan's turn, there were no seats on the right side, so he didn't care and sat directly on the girl's side.
Zhou Chen sat in the last seat on the right, with Ren Yifan, Lu Qiaochuan, Yu Hao and Xiao Haiyang in front of him.
After sitting down, the waiter handed everyone a menu. Zhou Chen picked up the menu, glanced at it twice and then put it down.
Compared with the types of Chinese food, the types of Western food are really much worse, especially in these domestic Western restaurants. The more high-end Western restaurants, the more fixed the dishes are. In his opinion, they are all the same.
.
The most important thing is that the portions of dishes in Western restaurants are really small.
Chris said to Lin Luoxue very generously: "Luoxue, I'm really happy that you can eat in my restaurant today. You and your classmates can eat whatever you want, no need to be polite to me."
Lin Luoxue smiled sweetly and said, "Then I'm welcome."
"You're welcome, of course you're welcome."
Lin Luoxue glanced at it for a few times, closed the menu, and said to the waiter: "French steak with Mexican mustard sauce, seven ripe."
Gu Yixin, who was behind, thought for a moment and said the same thing as her, and Zhong Bai and Li Shuci, who were behind him, did the same.
Then came Bi Shisan, who was sitting at the end, and Chris took the initiative to ask: "Are you the same as them?"
But Bi Shisan just glanced at him lightly, and then said expressionlessly: "I want to eat pork and cabbage dumplings."
"?"
As soon as these words came out, except for the three people in dormitory 601 and Zhou Chen, everyone else showed shocked expressions.
Especially Chris, as the host, everyone was dumbfounded.
He is also a well-informed person, but this is the first time he has encountered someone who came to a Western restaurant to order pork and cabbage dumplings. What kind of brain circuit is this?
The waiter was stunned for a long time before he responded: "Sir, this is a Western restaurant. We don't have pork and cabbage dumplings?"
Bi Shisan remained calm and calm: "I just want to eat dumplings. In addition to the ones stuffed with pork and cabbage, I also want one stuffed with three delicacies."
The way he talked to himself made Chris feel funny. He was not prepared to speak, but he couldn't help it.
"My classmate, this restaurant belongs to me. You're welcome. You can order whatever you want without spending a penny."
There was nothing wrong with these words to Zhou Chen, but to the young and energetic Lu Qiaochuan and the others, they felt a little uncomfortable.
Doesn't this mean that they are just here to make a living? Although this is the case, it is a bit too much to say it...
But Bi Shisan's answer was as straightforward as ever: "I just want to eat dumplings and dumpling soup, thank you, and I will pay the bill myself."
Seeing Bi Shisan so determined, Chris had nothing to say and could only give instructions to the waiter.
"Since the customers have asked for it, you can buy it later."
"okay, I get it."
The boss has already spoken, what else can the waiter say?
With Bi Shisan's disturbance, Chris's impression of Zhou Chen and the other boys became even worse.
"what about you?"
Xiao Haiyang, who was sitting first, put away the menu and said humbly: "To be honest, I can't understand your menu at all, so I'll be like Lin Luoxue and the others, but I want steak.
Very mature."
"Pfft!"
Chris didn't hold back and laughed out loud, sighing in his heart, just now there was a weird thing, and now there's another weird thing.
Yu Hao from behind rolled his eyes even more. Although he had no expectations for Xiao Haiyang at all, he still couldn't help but want to open Xiao Haiyang's head to see what was in his mind.
Chris, who was preconceived, had already regarded Zhou Chen and the other six people as weirdos, and wanted to continue to watch the joke, so he deliberately asked the remaining people: "What about you, aren't you the same as him?"
These words aroused Yu Hao's dissatisfaction, and there was an unknown meaning in his eyes.
"Is this meal yours?"
"Of course, although at first I just wanted to invite..."
Yu Hao didn't even give him a chance to finish, and directly told the waiter the menu very quickly.
"A portion of French baked snails. If possible, I would like to see if the snails are alive, because recently many restaurants are accustomed to using scallop meat as snail meat. I want two steaks. I want French shredded Limousin beef."
For the filet, please note that it is filet instead of filet. Although the taste of the two is similar, the filet is more tender. I want it medium rare. Finally, I have a bottle of 1985 Lafite."
"Thanks."
Yu Hao spoke really fast, without any pause. As soon as he heard it, he knew that he was very familiar with it, and he was also very particular about it. He was not a novice at all.
Although the waiter understood everything, he did not place an order immediately. Instead, he looked at the boss, Chris, who was staring at Yu Hao in astonishment.
Seeing that the waiter was silent, Yu Hao asked dissatisfiedly: "Have you ordered everything?"
What else could the waiter say: "Everything is ordered."
"Then read it to me again."
"Lafite in 1985..."
"That's all right. You don't need to read the first part."
After Yu Hao's operation, Chris could no longer maintain his calm expression. Not to mention anything else, just a bottle of 1985 Lafite cost more than 10,000.
He took a deep breath and asked Lu Qiaochuan: "What do the remaining three of you want to eat?"
Lu Qiaochuan pretended to read the menu, but with a sly expression on his face, he pretended not to understand.
"Be like him."
It was as if Chris was hit by an arrow again, and then Ren Yifan also made a stabbing blow, making Chris unable to maintain his expression.
Ever since, Zhou Chen was the only one left in the end. At this time, Chris no longer wanted to ask any more questions.
Everyone's eyes also fell on Zhou Chen, and Yu Hao said without any scruples: "Zhou Chen, you're welcome."
Although Zhou Chen was embarrassed to see Chris pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, he didn't deceive him.
"One cheese baked rice, one French pan-fried foie gras, and one roast turkey. Sorry, I have a big appetite, so I eat more."
Chris quickly said: "It doesn't matter, just order."
Although Zhou Chen ordered three items, the prices were not cheap, but they were nothing compared to the previous three. He was afraid that Zhou Chen would regret it, so he quickly asked the waiter to make a reservation.
But Yu Hao felt it was not enough, and asked Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, why don't you drink something? The 1985 Lafite still tastes good."
"No, Lafite drank too much. It's almost the same. But I haven't had ice Coke for a long time. Give me a glass of ice Coke."
"no problem."
Chris breathed a sigh of relief, quickly agreed, and then urged the waiter to prepare.
Yu Hao rolled his eyes at Zhou Chen: "Western restaurant, you drink ice coke, what's your taste?"
Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "How much taste can be gained by drinking red wine? If I weren't afraid of not having it, I would still want to order Maotai."
"Ha ha……"
Yu Hao and others were amused.
Chris took advantage of an excuse to get some red wine, but he was actually going to soothe his wounded heart.
As soon as he left, everyone relaxed even more and started laughing loudly.
"Awesome, Brother Hao."
"It's just so so. Who asked him to pretend like that?"
"…………"
The people at their table were all college students who had not entered the society, but it did not mean that they were not discerning. Chris's condescending, as if giving alms, made them all unhappy.
It's not like he really needed a meal or a half, so they didn't follow him at all.
But Zhou Chen didn't feel that deeply. After they entered society, they realized that there were too many people like Chris.
Even if you dislike such a person, their life is better than yours and their life is better than yours. This is reality.
Pretending to be a slap in the face will always have a very, very small chance of happening.
The food was served very slowly, but everyone was obviously really hungry and almost all the food was eaten. In the end, everyone left with a full meal.
On the way back, Gu Yixin reported today's results to Zhou Chen.
"During the military training, I talked with several driving schools on the phone. I went to see them again this morning and talked seriously. Finally, I found two good ones. Are you free this afternoon? Let's go and have a look together?"
Zhou Chen said: "Okay, then we'll go have a look in the afternoon. If it's suitable, just pay the money and make the decision."
Gu Yixin smiled and said: "As for computers and cameras, do you have any specific requirements and what model do you want? I can help you find them."
Zhou Chen said: "I want to assemble the computer. I will send you the hardware model. When the time comes, you can buy it and have it assembled. Remember, buy the genuine one, don't buy pirated and refurbished ones. Price is not an issue."
"No problem, leave it to me."
Hearing that Zhou Chen and Gu Yixin were discussing taking the driving school exam, some people were also very interested.
Ren Yifan asked: "Zhou Chen, do you want to apply for a driving school?"
"Well, are you interested too?"
"Yes, I'm interested too, but am I a little too anxious to sign up as soon as school starts? Do I have so much time in school?"
"It's just learning to drive. It's very simple. How about you, do you want to sign up together?"
Ren Yifan thought about it for a while and finally refused: "Forget it, college is the beginning of a beautiful life. There are so many beauties waiting for me to save. How can I have so much time to learn to drive? I'd better wait until I am on summer vacation.
Bar."
"Go away, if you don't learn to stop talking nonsense, it will get in the way."
Gu Yixin pushed Ren Yifan aside rudely, and then continued to discuss with Zhou Chen.
After returning to school, Zhou Chen went to a driving school with Gu Yixin. After visiting two schools, Zhou Chen made a decision.
After paying the tuition and giving the coach some red envelopes, things naturally went smoothly.
In the end, Zhou Chen paid Gu Yixin another labor fee, which made Gu Yixin happily spin around in circles for several times, and then continued to ask Zhou Chen what services he needed.
The next day arrived in a blink of an eye, and classes had not officially started yet. This morning was the English placement test, so early in the morning, everyone rushed to the examination room and began to take the English test.
The small English test was a simple matter for Zhou Chen. However, Zhou Chen was not prepared to be a top student in this world, so he just took the test casually to make sure that he could enter the middle 80% of the intermediate classes.
That’s it.
The intermediate class has the most people, so he can fish in troubled waters by attending class, and it will be easier for him to skip class.
There is an English test in the morning, and in the afternoon the TV photography class has a class meeting to select class leaders.
Of course, Zhou Chen would not compete for the troublesome task of being a class leader. In the end, just like in the TV plot, Lu Qiaochuan became the squad leader, Lin Luoxue became the deputy squad leader, and the other class leaders remained unchanged.
