Night falls.

After arranging accommodation for Lin Weidong, Zhu William drove a red convertible and took him to Deda for Western food.

After getting off the cool red convertible, Lin Weidong found that some passers-by were looking at him and William Zhu.

Of course, he was just being watched by the way, and the eyes of those passers-by were mainly on William Zhu.

Compared with a man like William Zhu who has the word "rich" written all over his body, Lin Weidong, who dresses simply and is slightly unkempt, obviously loses a lot.

"I'll ask inside, please." Zhu William said, waved to Lin Weidong, and walked into the Dedaxi Restaurant.

Strictly speaking, Deda should be regarded as the oldest Western restaurant in Shanghai, carrying many romantic memories of Shanghai's "little couples".

The thick revolving door, dark wooden staircase, Western-style window lintel, retro bar, when Lin Weidong walked over, he suddenly felt like he was traveling through time and space, as if he was pulled back to the ten-mile foreign market decades ago.

Although most of the people who were visiting were old masters and uncles in Shanghai, they were probably fashionable people when they were young, because Lin Weidong could see them sitting in Dedali leisurely looking at the newspaper, and then taking a sip of coffee, which looked very stylish.

After choosing a seat to sit down, William Zhu smiled and asked, "Gucheng, have you eaten Western food before?"

Lin Weidong was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that he had eaten Western food, but he didn't know if it was authentic. Mei'an's so-called Western restaurants should not be considered Western food. Because they didn't feel very delicious, he shook his head: "I've eaten, but I haven't eaten authentic Western food."

William Zhu said again: "Is that so? Then I'll bring you here tonight, so I'm right here."

Lin Weidong asked curiously: "What do you say?"

William Zhu said seriously: "Because this is a very unauthentic Western restaurant, if I take you to eat authentic Western food, it may not be as good as your taste."

Lin Weidong was a little speechless and thought to himself, is it easy for me? It is rare to come to Shanghai, and I just want to have an authentic Western food. You, a fake overseas returnee, actually brought me the most inauthentic Western food. You are just deliberately trying to respond to me...

Although William Zhu believes that Deda is not an authentic Western restaurant, his evaluation of this Western restaurant is a standard and authentic Shanghai Benbang Western Restaurant, referred to as Yangjing Bang Western Restaurant.

Since the opening of Shanghai, Western culture has been constantly invaded and integrated with local culture to form Shanghai culture. If you are so kind of to say, it is a bit rustic or foreign.

Therefore, the steak in Dedali will never be the method of authentic European chefs, but it is definitely a taste that most Chinese people can accept, suitable for all ages and young people.

To put it bluntly, this kind of "native or foreign" thing is actually quite "low", and it is even harder to match the later high-end restaurants such as Michelin Star Chef, but this is the unique taste of Shanghai, and there may be no semicolon in the world.

This is also the reason why William Zhu brought Lin Weidong here to eat Western food, because it is suitable for Chinese tastes and tastes very good.

William Zhu said confidently: "Lonely City, the fried pork chops and borscht in this Western restaurant are awesome, I believe you will definitely like it."

Hearing William Zhu say this, Lin Weidong swallowed and said, "Is that so? Then I have to try it well."

Foodies like Lin Weidong are never stingy with their love for food. As long as they come across something delicious, they will definitely not avoid overeating.

The first dish served by the waiter was the borscht recommended by William Zhu and the Shanghai salad. Lin Weidong couldn't wait to taste it and felt it. How to say, the taste in the soup is very unique, with a strong milky taste, and it also has a sweet and sour taste. After drinking it, I still feel unsatisfied and very appetizing.

Speaking of borscht, people are actually familiar with it. It is like pearl jade soup, and it has allusions. By the way, after the October Revolution, a large number of Russian refugees flocked to Shanghai. They, who were called "Borsong people" by Shanghai people, also brought the red color soup in.

But the red cabbage soup is not very suitable for the taste of Shanghai people, and red beets cannot be grown in Shanghai, so Shanghai people replaced it with cabbage and tomato sauce, forming the current borscht.

As for Shanghai salad, it is actually potato salad, which is a pure locally made dish.

The foreign salad was improved by the Shanghai people, and vegetables were removed and meat was added. However, in that era when supplies were scarce, red sausage could only be replaced. Unexpectedly, it became the symbol of Shanghai salad.

The potato salad in Deda Restaurant is specially prepared for the appetite of Shanghai people. It is made with a delicate taste.

Immediately afterwards, the pork chop was also served. Lin Weidong looked carefully. The pork chop was thinner and showed a golden color. It made people feel very appetizing all of a sudden. Because it was fried very thoroughly, the pork chop tasted crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, tender and juicy. It also had spicy soy sauce on the side. It was dipped in some and had a unique flavor.

In addition, Lin Weidong, the creamy Portuguese chicken, also tastes delicious. The cheese tastes particularly fragrant. The chicken inside is also very tender, and it tastes rich in milky flavor, which is endless aftertaste in the mouth.

In short, Lin Weidong was very satisfied with this Western meal. He felt that if he had the chance to come to Shanghai with Scarlett in the future, he would definitely bring her to taste it.

On the other hand, what Lin Weidong appreciates is that William Zhu is different from many Chinese people. We Chinese people like to talk about cooperation and drinking while eating.

However, William Zhu, a Chinese, is very different. He never talked about cooperation with Lin Weidong during dinner, which made Lin Weidong feel very comfortable and relaxed.

Moreover, for so long from meeting to dinner, William Zhu did not mention cooperation with Lin Weidong at all.

It was not until the next morning that when I arrived at the company under the banyan tree, that Zhu William started discussing cooperation with Lin Weidong in his office.

For Lin Weidong, whether he can decide on cooperation with William Zhu is the key to the question of how much money it costs. He feels that he should get a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan like Li Xunhuan and Ning Caishen.

Although "E.com Deep Love" is not particularly well written, it is definitely a popular work on the current Internet, and it is not inferior to Ning Caishen's "Countless Intimate Contacts" and Li Xunhuan's "Love in Reality and the Internet", which are even better than that.

Of course, the most important point is that "E.net Love Deep" has published a physical book, and it sold quite well. In less than a month, it sold 30,000 copies, which was something that Ning Caishen and Li Xunhuan did not do. This is why William Zhu valued Lin Weidong so much.

After some bargaining, William Zhu finally agreed to Lin Weidong's request, and hired Lin Weidong to serialize new books under the banyan tree at a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan. The new books were written at least 20,000 words per month, and the book must be completed within one year.

In this way, William Zhu bought the paper copyright of Lin Weidong's next book.

As for the copyright of film and television, William Zhu did not make any request, but belonged to Lin Weidong personally, because so far, there is no online novel that can be adapted into a film and television drama. He does not expect this income. What he values ​​more is the royalties after the publication of online novels.

Mr. Lin is paid for 20,000 yuan a month. William Zhu doesn’t think it’s expensive, but instead thinks it’s “good and cheap”. It’s much cheaper than Ning Caishen and Li Xunhuan. Not only are these two guys earning 20,000 yuan a month, William Zhu also rents a villa for them every month and reimburses the plane tickets.

"Happy cooperation!" After signing the contract, Lin Weidong and Zhu William shook hands with smiles.
