Rebirth in officialdom and rising to the top

Before Joey Zhong could fully teach Lin Wanzhou, a tall, blonde waitress presented two thick menus to the two of them:

"Deuxinvitésdistingués,découvrezcedontvousavezbesoinpourmanger (Two distinguished guests, what do you need to eat?)"

[Can’t we use Chinese menus when opening a restaurant in China? 】

Looking at the menu full of French, Lin Wanzhou felt dizzy for a while, and closed it after taking a quick look:

"I don't understand French and I have never eaten French food. Miss Zhong, can you just order it for me?"

Zhong Joey was not surprised, nodded and said:

"Okay, do you have any taboos?"

Lin Wanzhou was just about to say that she, a rural child, was not so pretentious, but then she thought of the doctor's advice this morning, so she said with a slight blush:

"I was injured recently, and the doctor told me not to eat raw, cold, spicy food for the time being, saying that it would affect the healing of the wound..."

"Injured? Trauma?"

Joey Zhong gave Lin Wanzhou a slightly strange look:

Didn't you see where she was injured?

Lin Wanzhou didn't know how to explain it, so he could only nodded and said:

"Yes, but it's not serious. It will be fine in two days!"

When Zhong Joey heard this, he no longer thought about it, nodded, and said to the foreign waitress beside him in fluent French:

"We are mainly talking about things today. Let's skip the thirteen dishes and simplify them into five. My friend can't eat cold food today. I don't want the ice cream in the dessert. I'm tired of Kobe's steak. Today I'll switch to France. Charlotte steak, medium rare with black pepper sauce..."

Having said this, Joey Zhong paused, looked at Lin Wanzhou and asked in Chinese:

"Ms. Lin, medium-rare steak may be a bit raw. Are you used to it?"

[I’ve never eaten it before, how do I know if I’m used to it?Destroy it...]

Lin Wanzhou rolled her eyes in her heart and said in a broken voice:

"Maybe I'm not used to it, why don't you ask her to give me a well-done one?"

However, Joey Zhong had no intention of laughing at Lin Wanzhou. Instead, he said seriously:

"Well-done might be older. How about I ask her to get you medium-rare?"

Lin Wanzhou couldn't help but feel grateful for Joey Zhong's patience and sincerity:

"OK, thanks!"

It is said that details determine success or failure, at least until now, Lin Wanzhou felt that Joey Zhong took good care of himself in every detail, and that kind of sincerity could not be faked. This made Lin Wanzhou feel inexplicably towards Joey Zhong. The hostility also faded a lot...

Joey Zhong nodded, turned to the waitress and continued to speak in French:

"A medium-rare fillet, a medium-rare sirloin, and the red wine is Romanée-Conti. Is there any ready-made in the store in 74?"

The waitress replied respectfully in French:

"Miss, I know that you only drink Romanee-Conti in 1974, so Chef Henry specially reserved a few bottles for you as not for sale. I will ask someone to wake up a bottle for you and your friends. The other dishes are also do you have any requests?"

Joey Zhong nodded with satisfaction and handed the menu to the waitress:

"Let's do this for now!"

"Good lady!"

Looking at the back of the waitress when she left the private room, Lin Wanzhou couldn't help but said with emotion:

"I'm afraid this meal will cost a lot of money, right?"

Joey Zhong wiped his hands with the wet tissue on the table and said with a smile:

“Actually, except for a bottle of Romanée-Conti red wine which is worth a little bit because of the small stock, the others don’t cost much!”

Lin Wanzhou asked curiously:

"Can I ask how much that bottle of red wine called Conti costs?"

Joey Zhong replied lightly:

"Today's price should be around [-]!"

"Ten, one hundred thousand? Are you talking about RMB?"

Lin Wanzhou's eyes widened for a moment, a little unbelievable:

She helped Chen Wangyang trade for almost a month, and even with commissions and following the trend, she only made 8 yuan. She originally thought it was a lot of money - at least this money saved her grandmother's life - —In the end, if you put it here with Joey Zhong, it’s not enough to buy a bottle of red wine?

Joey Zhong shrugged and said:

"Of course it's RMB, but could it still be Annan Dong?"

Good guy, 10 yuan, that's a huge amount of money that can even be used to dig several new cave dwellings in my hometown village. Will it be drank by the two of them soon?

Thinking of this, Lin Wanzhou couldn't help but shook his head and said with some self-deprecation:

"You rich people are so particular about how you eat. One meal can eat up the income of an ordinary person's family for several years. It really opened my eyes!"

Lin Wanzhou's words were completely inspired. In fact, there was no irony in them. After all, the luxury of this meal was indeed beyond her scope of knowledge...

Zhong Joey naturally heard that Lin Wanzhou's words were not malicious. Hearing the words, he smiled lightly and said:

"Money is meant to be spent. If everyone keeps the money in the bank and does not spend it, then who will promote the country's consumption? How to stimulate domestic demand? How to grow the economy? Do you think it is Miss Lin? And 10 yuan does not matter to me. It’s only [-]/[-] of a month’s pocket money, so I won’t feel any pressure even if I eat like this every day!”

Lin Wanzhou also majored in finance, so naturally she couldn't understand what Joey Zhong meant, but she disagreed with the second half of Joey Zhong's words:

"Ms. Zhong, I know that this money may be as meaningful to you as a dollar is to me, but I think you can use this money in more meaningful ways. There are so many people in our country who cannot afford to go to school. children, and your meal money is enough to send several children to school until they graduate from college..."

At this point, Lin Wanzhou suddenly stopped because she realized with some annoyance that she seemed to have said the wrong thing:

No matter how rich someone's family is, it is the hard earned money of their parents. As long as it is not illegally obtained or violates laws and disciplines, they can naturally spend it however they want. How can they spend it on their own?

Besides, what I said also meant a bit of moral kidnapping...

However, Lin Wanzhou is not the kind of virgin bitch who only knows how to let others do good things for others. Although she comes from a poor family, she still volunteers at the orphanage for a few days every year and donates some extracurricular books to the children in the orphanage. It can be regarded as the unity of knowledge and action...

Zhong Joey held his chin in his hands, looked at Lin Wanzhou with interest, and said with a half-smile:

"Ms. Lin, how do you know that I have never supported out-of-school children? Let me give you an example. For example, if you have 1000 yuan and you donate 500 yuan to out-of-school children, this will not affect your use of the remaining 500 yuan. Where are the yuan for food and transportation and clothes?”

Lin Wanzhou suddenly realized what he said, and his face turned red with embarrassment, and he said a little embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, Miss Zhong. I made a mistake just now. I sincerely apologize to you!"
