In order to completely dispel Shen Xue's idea of ​​entering the entertainment industry, Wang Lin took it into consideration and said with a smile: "I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"

"Why did you invite me?" Shen Xue asked.

Wang Lindao: "You invited me last time, and I'm going to return the invitation this time. It's not rude to be polite, but I also ask Comrade Shen Xue to show your respect."

Shen Xue asked: "Where to eat?"

Wang Lin gave it up and said, "We'll find out when we get there."

"Isn't it going to your home?"

"You want to go to my house for dinner? Of course that's no problem! But not today. I'll treat you to my cooking some other time! Today, I'm going to take you to a special place for dinner."

Shen Xue smiled: "Mysterious! Okay, you want to invite me to dinner. If I don't agree, you will say that I look down on you working class people!"

Wang Lin laughed and said: "Then let's go!"

The two went downstairs.

Wang Lin took a taxi, asked her to get in, and told the driver to go to the International Hotel.

When Shen Xue heard this, she couldn't help but ask: "International Hotel?"

"yes."

"It's very expensive to eat there." Shen Xueyao said, "When I went to eat there in the 1970s, a table of food cost 20 yuan! The monthly salary in that era was only more than 20 yuan! Nowadays, prices are expensive. The food in international restaurants

, the price has increased again!”

"Isn't it just a meal? How expensive can it be? Even if it costs a hundred yuan? Can it be more expensive than the watch you gave me?" Wang Lin said with a smile, "Of course I want to treat a beautiful woman like you to a high-end restaurant.

place.”

Shen Xue smiled and said: "I am being disrespectful! But there is really no need to be so particular."

The International Hotel is located on the bustling Nanjing West Road, opposite the picturesque People's Park.

This is not only a place to eat and stay, but also has a dazzling selection of shopping malls, a beauty center with thoughtful services, and a disco with modern lighting and sound.

The taxi drove directly to the entrance of the International Hotel.

As soon as the car stopped, a doorman dressed like a ceremonial soldier quickly stepped forward and opened the car door.

After Wang Lin got out of the car, he protected Shen Xue from the car.

Shen Xue smiled at him, feeling that this man was not only very polite, but also understood the new etiquette passed down from the West!

Wang Lin came to the Peacock Hall specially and chose a seat to the side to sit down.

"Please take a seat." Wang Lin helped Shen Xue open the heavy seat.

Shen Xueyan smiled and sat down like a lady: "Thank you."

Wang Lin took the menu: "Would you like to order?"

"You order it! It's your treat." Shen Xue smiled.

"Should we eat Western food?" Wang Lin asked.

Shen Xue whispered: "I have never eaten steak, and I have never used a knife and fork."

Wang Lin ordered a few Western dishes, a fruit plate and red wine, and after giving orders to the waiters, he said to Shen Xue: "It's easy to learn, hold a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, whatever is convenient for you. Hold the fork."

Just chop the meat and eat it with a fork. Our ancestors also used knives and forks in the era when they were eating hair and drinking blood. Later, civilization evolved and we learned to use high-end tableware-chopsticks. Therefore, we Orientals can easily learn to use knives.

Because it is engraved in our genes. But it is difficult for Westerners to learn to use chopsticks because they have evolved directly from barbaric times to modern civilized society."

"Really? You know so much, you don't look like a mechanic." Shen Xue smiled.

"What's wrong? How can an outstanding person like you look down on us workers?"

"Ah, no, how is that possible?" Shen Xue quickly denied, "But you really subverted my view of mechanics."

"There is no high or low profession. Every industry needs someone to work, right? If everyone sits elegantly in a Western restaurant and enjoys piano music, then there will be no one to build the Western restaurant and there will be no workers for the piano.

Went to give birth."

Shen Xue rested her forehead on her hands and listened to him with a smile: "So philosophical! There is Western food here and there is also a piano, but no one is playing."

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Shen Xue? It's really you! I thought I saw the wrong person! I didn't expect you to come here to eat too."

Shen Xue turned around and saw a man and a woman standing next to her.

"Fu Meifang!" Shen Xue said with a smile, "What a coincidence! Are you eating here too?"

The person who came was none other than Shen Xue’s colleague, Fu Meifang, who stole the heroine of her new show!

Fu Meifang wore a short black skirt with sequins, black stockings, and black high heels. She had the most popular wavy hair perm. Only her top was a bright red sweater. She was fashionable and coquettish. She was not as tall as Shen Xue.

, but her facial features are exquisite and her makeup is thick, making her look like a famous brand.

"Well, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Qin Jianbo. He works in the municipal government and is now a department-level cadre." Fu Meifang smiled at the man next to her, "Jianbo, this is my colleague Shen Xue.

"

When she introduced her boyfriend, she made no secret of her inner superiority and pride!

Qin Jianbo was in a suit and leather shoes, with shiny hair. He was handsome and upright. He looked polite on the outside, but inside, he had an indescribable arrogance. He nodded slightly to Shen Xue and said: "Miss Shen, hello. Very good.

it's happy to meet you."

Obviously knowing that Fu Meifang was deliberately showing off in front of her, Shen Xue didn't take it seriously and just replied politely: "Hello."

Fu Meifang chuckled and said: "Shen Xue, you always keep it a secret. We always thought you were single! You don't want to introduce your family member?"

Shen Xue was stunned and said: "You have misunderstood. This is Comrade Wang Lin. He is my friend. My relationship with him is not what you think!"

Wang Lin nodded slightly towards the two of them, which was regarded as a courtesy.

Fu Meifang said to Qin Jianbo: "Jianbo, shall we sit at the same table with Shen Xue and the others?"

Qin Jianbo said: "I don't care!"

Fu Meifang naturally sat next to Shen Xue.

Qin Jianbo also sat down and said, "Have you ordered food? Western food or Chinese food?"

Wang Lin said: "We ordered Western food. Let's add two more portions."

Fu Meifang said: "Okay. Let's eat Western food. Hey, Mr. Wang, where do you find your job?"

Wang Linda said: "Textile factory."

Fu Meifang said: "Shenfang? Hey, I remember! Last March 8th Festival, we went to the textile factory for a cultural performance. I saw you. You were the mechanic. You even saved Shen Xue's life.

!right?"

Wang Lin nodded: "Miss Fu, you have a really good memory!"

He saw that Qin Jianbo's eyes clearly showed a touch of contempt and disdain!

He is a civil servant in the municipal government and is already a department-level cadre at a young age. It is obvious that this person has a profound background and a bright future!

And Wang Lin is just an ordinary mechanic worker at Shenfang Factory!

This social status, this professional level, you can tell the pros and cons at a glance!

Qin Jianbo called the waiter, ordered two set meals, and said: "Let's pay for this table together."

Wang Lin said: "Mr. Qin, you're welcome, we've already settled the bill."

Qin Jianbo nodded.

Fu Meifang quietly asked Shen Xue: "Why are you with him?"

"Let's have a meal together." Shen Xu said, "Don't think too much!"

Fu Meifang said: "I didn't think too much. You invited him to dinner? Do you want to thank him for saving his life? I'm just afraid that he wants to eat swan meat! Shen Xue, you have such good conditions, I will introduce you to a good one."

A man, right? He is a colleague of Jianbo, a cadre at the deputy department level. He is a few years older than Jianbo. He has just passed his thirties. He had an unfortunate marriage, but he did not leave any children..."

"No need!" Shen Xue quickly interrupted her, "I haven't considered personal issues yet."

Fu Meifang shrugged and said helplessly: "Good men are high-quality stocks. If you don't catch them now, they will be snatched away by other women!"

Shen Xuedao: "I'm really not in a hurry. So I don't need your introduction."

Fu Meifang stopped pestering her, and in a blink of an eye she saw the grand piano in the corner beside her. She smiled and said to Qin Jianbo: "Jianbo, didn't you say that you have learned piano? Can you play an impromptu song for us?

listen?"

She said this to show off her boyfriend.

In this era, being able to play the piano is synonymous with high-end, elegance, intellectuality and wealth.

An ordinary Pearl River piano sells for more than 15,000 yuan!

Imported Yamaha pianos were even more expensive, ranging from 50,000 to 60,000 to hundreds of thousands. In the 1980s, they were definitely luxury goods with sky-high prices!

Growing up, the money for piano lessons was sky-high!

Therefore, if a person can play the piano, it is definitely a reflection of his overall strength and cultural literacy.

Qin Jianbo was also eager to show off in front of the two beauties, so he smiled proudly and said, "Then I'll show off my ugliness!"
