Huayu: From an ordinary person to a happy director

Chapter 91: Gao Yuanyuan pretending to be drunk
"It's hard for me to respond to you! If I say he's not handsome, it would be a bit against my conscience. If I say he's handsome, people will say he's narcissistic." Shi Lei said.

In the urban literary circle, he can only be considered to be barely at the passing level. There are countless protagonists who rely on their handsomeness to make women fall for him. Fortunately, he can make a lot of money. Both his company and he himself can make popular TV series and movies. Appearance is just a plus for him, not the foundation.

"Puchi..." Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing, and then immediately reacted. While laughing, he said, "I'm sorry, boss... I'm not saying you're not handsome, it's just..."

"Boss...I'm sorry."

Gao Yuanyuan covered her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from laughing out loud, but her shoulders still twitched.

"Okay, you said you would treat me to a meal, tell me the address." Shi Lei was not surprised and helped Gao Yuan smooth things over.

"Ahem... the driver went to xx Western Restaurant."

"Okay, fifteen minutes," the driver replied.

It was only fifteen minutes, and Gao Yuanyuan was still twitching for a few minutes, so the two didn't chat much and soon arrived at a high-end restaurant.

As soon as they entered the western restaurant, Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Shi Lei and said, "Find us a private room."

Shi Lei is the big boss, so it’s better for him to go to the box.

"Do you have a reservation?" the waiter asked politely.

Gao Yuanyuan's expression changed and she had forgotten about it.

The smile on the waiter's face froze for a moment.

"We can just sit outside." Shi Lei broke the deadlock.

He is not arrogant and wouldn't mind eating at roadside stalls if it weren't too conspicuous to drive a Volvo there.

"This way, please." The waiter led the way politely.

Gao Yuanyuan apologized quietly, "Boss, I'm sorry! I forgot to book the box."

"It's okay, I don't mind." Shi Lei shook his head slightly.

They sat down and started ordering food.

Gao Yuanyuan signaled Shi Lei to order first.

Shi Lei didn't even look at the menu and asked directly: "Do you have filet mignon?"

"Have."

"Then give me a well-done steak and a bottle of red wine."

"Puchi." As soon as Shi Lei finished speaking, a sneer came from the next table.

Shi Lei turned his head and frowned slightly. Next to him was a middle-aged man and a beautiful woman with makeup.

He glanced at her coldly, turned back, looked at the somewhat stunned waiter, and asked, "What? Can't you do it?"

"Sir, please order according to the menu." The waiter's smile was a little stiff.

"Where did you come from, you bumpkin? Even the steaks are only cooked one, three, five, and seven. There is no well-done steak..." Before Shi Lei could reply, the beautiful woman with makeup at the next table spoke again.

Shi Lei frowned even more, but he really didn't want to argue with a moron, so he looked at the waiter and asked, "Why, can't your chef make a well-done steak?"

"Sir, please order according to the menu." The waiter said through gritted teeth.

"Forget it. I don't want to waste time talking to you. Ask your manager to come over. If that doesn't work, ask your chef to come out." Shi Lei waved his hand, not wanting to say anything more to the waiter.

At the beginning of the century, people were impacted by foreign things and thought that foreign things were good, so they learned everything from the West. Some people highly praised Western dining etiquette.

Some people just hear it from others and think that Western food is high-end. They look down on Chinese food and at the same time, they try to learn more about it, which leads to many jokes, such as now.

Just make a fool of yourself, but don't bring him along!
Shi Lei was speechless and wanted to scold her, but when he thought about how it was incompatible with his status to argue with a brainless shrew, he was too lazy to say anything.

This reminded him of a short video from his previous life.

Many rich people are polite, respectful and courteous to ordinary people, not because they really have high moral cultivation and often repay evil with kindness, but because they are afraid of being hurt. Because most of these people are "barefoot", while the rich and bosses have many favorable resources, which is the so-called "the barefoot are not afraid of those wearing shoes".

Rich people never argue with stupid people about who is right or wrong, nor do they care who wins or loses.

This is because they understand that communicating with stupid people is pointless and only a waste of time and energy.

This is how Shi Lei feels now.

The sarcasm of the makeup-wearing beauty caused some commotion, and some people around looked over curiously.

The waiter was afraid of causing a commotion, so he said to Shi Lei, "Please wait a moment, sir." Then he trotted away.

Another waiter glanced at Shi Lei with disdain in his eyes, but the waiter didn't like the noise of the beauty in makeup, and was also afraid of a conflict, so he hurried to the side of the beauty in makeup and reminded her softly: "Madam, please don't make loud noises and disturb other guests' meals."

The beautiful lady with makeup saw that Shi Lei was silent and looked like a quail. With so many people watching him, she felt very refreshed and felt that she was superior to others.

After the waiter's reminder, she also knew that this was not a noisy place. She looked at Shi Lei with contempt, stopped talking, put on an elegant posture, pretended to cut off a small piece of beef and started eating.

At the same time, the manager arrived. As soon as he came to Shi Lei's side, he bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, sir. It's our waitress's fault for not serving us well. She's new here, and well-done food is not on the menu. Very few customers order well-done food. She didn't know that steak can be cooked well-done. I apologize to you on her behalf."

As a restaurant manager in the core area of ​​the capital, he naturally knew that steak could be cooked well-done, but it was difficult and time-consuming to do so, and not many people in China ordered it, so it was crossed off the menu.

After a pause, he explained, "Well-done steaks are sold in high-end restaurants in North America and Europe."

The manager spoke standard Mandarin with clear pronunciation, and raised his voice a little so that the nearby guests in the quiet restaurant could hear him.

This sentence was not said to Shi Lei, but to the people around him.

"Ding Dong." The made-up beauty dropped her knife and fork, and her whole face turned visibly red.

The manager took a look, turned his head and said quickly: "Sir, as an apology, we have opened a private room for you and your partner. Please move."

"Let's go!" Shi Lei was also worried that the beautiful woman with makeup would rush over and scratch him, and he was afraid that he would not be able to resist kicking the woman.

This damages his image.

"Bang." The beautiful lady with makeup slammed the table, stood up, and said loudly: "The service here is too bad, this is not a high-end restaurant at all."

"Honey, let's go to another restaurant."

Gao Yuanyuan didn't know much about Western food, and she had thought Shi Lei was wrong before. She didn't dare to speak up, so she remained silent. Now that Shi Lei was proved to be right, she immediately wanted to do something.

She turned around and was about to speak, but Shi Lei interrupted her and said loudly, "Don't talk."

The beautiful woman in makeup is on the verge of exploding, and the explosion is just a trigger. Arguing with a retard is a waste of time and energy, and it also damages the liver.

"Ah~~Oh~~" Gao Yuanyuan looked at the beautiful woman who was a little frustrated. He wanted to mock her a few times, but finally decided to listen to Shi Lei.

There was already a waiter dealing with the beauty who was putting on makeup, and there were two more waiters standing between the beauty who was putting on makeup and them.

The two of them entered the box smoothly, and the manager said at the right time: "Due to our mistake, the two of you were unhappy, so today's bill is waived."

"No, just go on as usual. We can still afford it."

"Sir, this is our restaurant's apology, please accept it." The manager bowed.

"Alright! It's up to you." Shi Lei no longer refused. If he continued to refuse, who knows how long it would take.

No matter what this restaurant does, it is on his blacklist. If it is a place that makes him unhappy, he doesn't need any reason, just stay away from it.

After this incident, the two men lost all interest and just ate a few bites of beef and left.

As soon as she got in the car, Gao Yuan leaned on Shi Lei with red cheeks, and then fell asleep as if she was drunk.

Shi Lei stared at Gao Yuanyuan, whose face, neck and cheeks were red. He didn't know whether it was because of drinking or if Gao Yuanyuan was just shy.

At this moment, there was only one thing in his mind: Gao Yuanyuan is really charming!
