"I'm free, but why did you suddenly think of inviting me to dinner?" Li Jin asked with a smile.
"I got my first work-study salary," Tang Yan said.
Li Jin was stunned when he heard this. In terms of living expenses, he must have guaranteed enough for Tang Yan, but this strong and self-reliant girl still chose to go to work-study to earn money.
Li Jin did not object to this, but supported it very much.
"Congratulations, you should indeed celebrate. Where can we eat?"
Tang Yan seemed to have been prepared for it, and said directly: "I heard that a particularly delicious seafood restaurant has opened in Jinling Road Pedestrian Street. Is it okay there?"
Jinling Road Pedestrian Street?
Isn’t that all your own industry?
With the completion of the overall construction and promotion of Jinling Road Pedestrian Street, and with the strong support of the Shanghai Municipal Government, Jinling Road Pedestrian Street has also ushered in rapid development.
Now it has become one of the three major pedestrian streets in the country in the future.
Any out-of-town tourists will definitely come to Jinling Road Pedestrian Street and then visit the Bund.
Therefore, the business of Jinling Road Pedestrian Street is also booming, and the most obvious change with it is its store rental price.
It is impossible for Li Jin to sell the property here, so there will never be any stores for sale on the market, but its rent is rising every day.
Now, the monthly rent has risen to 5,000 yuan per square meter.
This was simply unimaginable in 2001, but even so, it was still snatched away.
Li Jin naturally made a lot of money accordingly.
When we bought these properties with the city government, we paid them in installments. Now their rents can fully cover the subsequent installments, and they are also making a slight profit.
It won't be long before most of the industries on Jinling Road Pedestrian Street will turn into cash cows that make countless people drool, providing Li Jin with a steady stream of cash flow.
"That's okay, but the consumption on the pedestrian street is not low." After putting his thoughts away, Li Jin smiled at Tang Ying on the other end of the phone.
"Secretary Fang takes good care of me and gives me the best job, so don't worry, Brother Jin!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Jin asked Liu Jun to turn the car around and drive towards the pedestrian street.
This time was Tang Ying's first work-study salary. She wanted to repay Li Jin, so Li Jin would naturally not let the little girl down.
Since it is a pedestrian street, cars cannot drive directly in. When they arrived at the iconic Peace Hotel, Li Jin got off the car first and asked Liu Jun to drive the car into the hotel and park it, while Li Jin walked towards the seafood restaurant Tang Ying mentioned.
At this time, Tang Ying, who was already at the pedestrian street before making the call, was negotiating with the waiter at the entrance of the seafood restaurant.
"Can I get a discount with my student ID card?"
Hearing Tang Ying's question, the waiter who was already very busy due to the opening of the new store frowned and looked at Tang Ying again. She was very beautiful, but all the waiters working here were well trained.
He has a pair of fiery eyes.
You can tell at a glance which guests are rich and which are just tourists who come to try out new things.
"Yes, yes, but we don't have any discounted seats for you now. If you want, just wait." The waitress said with a straight face and angrily.
"Really, why do poor students come here to spend money?"
Hearing the waiter's muttering, Tang Ying bit her lip and said, "How long do you have to wait?"
The waitress said impatiently: "Can't you see how busy the store is? If you want a discount, just wait outside the door and come back when the store is empty."
Tang Ying clasped her fingers. Although she was very angry at the waiter's attitude, she was used to being submissive and didn't want to cause trouble. She had to say: "Then I don't want discounts and just consume normally."
The waitress sneered and said, "Are you here to cause trouble? Sometimes you want a discount and sometimes you don't, so a poor student like you still comes here to eat?"
"Do you know where this place is? Just one dish is enough for your living expenses for a week. Can you afford it?"
Tang Ying said angrily: "Whether I can afford it or not is my business, can you control it?"
The waitress slapped her pen on her notebook and yelled, "Who are you talking to? What's your attitude?"
"Let me tell you, our seafood restaurant really won't accept guests like you today. If you want to eat, OK, the minimum purchase is 1,500 yuan. If you can afford it, I will let you in!"
Tang Ying held the 800 yuan in her pocket, her face turned red, and she was speechless with embarrassment.
Seeing Tang Ying's performance, the waitress sneered and said, "Can't you afford it? Why don't you open your eyes to see clearly? Our tables are full all the time, and the consumption of any one table of guests is too much."
I have more than you, so why waste my time on you?"
"Go away, don't come to a place like this if you don't have money, can't you buy some snacks at the door?"
