Chapter 24 "Dream of Love"(1/3)

In order to completely dispel Shen Xue's idea of ​​entering the entertainment industry, Wang Lin made a plan and smiled and said, "Tonight, I'll treat you to dinner!"

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

Wang Lin said: "You invited me last time, but I'm going to ask back this time. It's impolite if you don't have any contact. Please give me a look."

Shen Xue asked, "Where to eat?"

Wang Lin kept it a secret: "You will know when you go."

"Isn't it going to your house?"

"Do you want to go to my house for dinner? Of course it's okay! But today doesn't work. I'll invite you to taste my cooking skills another day! Today, I'll take you to a special place for dinner."

Shen Xue smiled and said, "It's mysterious! Okay, you want to treat me to a meal. If I don't agree, you will say that I look down on you working class again!"

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

The two went downstairs.

Wang Lin took a taxi, asked her to get on the bus, 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 Xue said, "In the 1970s, I went there to eat, and it cost 20 yuan per table of dishes! The monthly salary in that era was only more than 20 years old! Now the prices are expensive, and the dishes in international hotels have increased again!"

"Isn't it just a meal? How expensive can it be? Even if it costs 100 yuan? Can the watch you gave me expensive?" Wang Lin smiled, "I have to go to a high-end place to invite a beautiful girl like you to dinner."

Shen Xue smiled and said, "I'm disrespectful! But there's 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 for dining and accommodation, but also a wide range of self-selected shopping malls, a thoughtful beauty center, and a disco with modern lighting and sound.

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

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

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

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

Wang Lin came to the Peacock Hall and chose a position to sit down.

"Please sit down." Wang Lin helped Shen Xue pull out the heavy seat.

Shen Xue smiled and sat down with a lady: "Thank you."

Wang Lin took the menu: "Do you order food?"

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

"Let's eat Western food?" Wang Lin asked.

Shen Xue whispered: "I have never eaten steak, nor have I used a knife or fork."

Wang Lin ordered a few Western dishes, ordered fruit plates and red wine, and ordered the waiter, and then said to Shen Xue: "It is easy to learn. Hold a knife in one hand and a fork in the other hand. How to do it? Just cut the meat and eat it fork. Our ancestors also used knife and fork in the era of eating raw meat and drinking blood. Later, civilization evolved and learned to use high-end tableware - chopsticks. Therefore, we orientals can easily learn to use knife and fork because this is engraved in our genes. But it is difficult for Westerners to learn to use chopsticks because they evolved directly from the barbaric era to the modern civilized society."

"Really? You know so much, not like a mechanic." Shen Xue smiled.

"What's wrong? Will people 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 career. Every industry needs someone to work, right? If everyone sits elegantly in a Western restaurant and enjoys piano music, then no one will build this Western restaurant and no workers will produce the piano."

Shen Xue supported her chin with her hands and listened to him with a smile: "It looks so philosophical! There is Western food and piano here, but no one plays it."

At this moment, someone suddenly heard someone shouting, "Shen Xue? It's really you! I thought I had read the wrong person! I didn't expect you to come here for dinner too."

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

"Fu Meifang!" Shen Xue smiled, "What a coincidence! Are you having dinner here too?"

The visitor was colleague Shen Xue, the one Fu Meifang who snatched her new heroine!

Fu Meifang was wearing a black short skirt with sequins, black stockings, and black high heels. She had the most popular big wavy curly hair nowadays. Only the top was a big red sweater, which was fashionable and sexy. She was not as tall as Shen Xue, but her facial features were delicate and her makeup was thick, making her look like a big brand.

"Well, let me introduce it. This is my boyfriend, Qin Jianbo. He works in the municipal government and is now a section-level cadre." Fu Meifang smiled at the man beside him, "Jianbo, this is my colleague Shen Xue."

When she introduced her boyfriend, she did not hide her inner superiority and pride!

Qin Jianbo was wearing a suit and tidy hair, handsome and upright, and looked polite on the outside, but there was an indescribable arrogance in his bones. He nodded slightly to Shen Xue: "Hello Miss Shen. I'm very happy to know you."

He knew that Fu Meifang was deliberately showing off in front of him, but Shen Xue didn't take it seriously. He just replied politely: "Hello."

Fu Meifang giggled and said, "Shen Xue, you have always kept it a secret. We always thought you were still single! You don't introduce your one?"

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

Wang Lin nodded slightly to them, as if he had seen the ceremony.

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

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

Fu Meifang sat next to Shen Xue naturally.

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

Wang Lin said: "We ordered Western food. Add two more servings."

Fu Meifang said, "Okay. Then eat Western food. Hey, Mr. Wang, where are you taller?"

Wang Lindao: "Textile factory."

Fu Meifang said: "Shen Fang? Hey, I remember it! Last March 8th Festival event, we went to the textile factory to hold an art performance. I have seen you. You are the mechanic worker, and you saved Shen Xue's life! Yes?"

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

He saw that there was a hint of contempt and disdain in Qin Jianbo's eyes!

He is a civil servant of the municipal government and is already a section-level cadre at a young age. It can be seen that this person has a deep background and a bright future!

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

This social status and profession can be distinguished at a glance!

Qin Jianbo called the waiter, ordered two sets of meals, and said, "Check out together this table."

Wang Lin said: "Mr. Qin, don't be polite, we have settled the bill."

Qin Jianbo nodded.

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

"Just have a meal together." Shen Xue said, "Don't think about it!"

Fu Meifang said: "I didn't think about it. Did you invite him to dinner? Are you trying to thank him for saving his life? I'm just afraid that his toad wants to eat swan meat! Shen Xue, you have such good conditions. I'll introduce you to a good man? He is Jianbo's colleague and a cadre at the level of the deputy director. He is a few years older than Jianbo. He just passed his thirty years old. He had an unfortunate marriage, but he didn't leave any children..."

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

Fu Meifang shrugged and said helplessly: "A good man is a high-quality stock. If you don't catch it as soon as possible, you will be snatched away by other women!"

Shen Xue said: "I'm really not in a hurry. So there is no need for you to introduce it."

Fu Meifang stopped entangling. She saw the grand piano in the corner next to her and smiled at Qin Jianbo and said, "Jianbo, didn't you say, have you learned piano? Can you improvise a song for us?"

She said this, showing off her boyfriend.

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

An ordinary Pearl River piano priced at more than 15,000 yuan!

The imported Yamaha pianos are even more expensive, ranging from 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, and hundreds of thousands of yuan. In the 1980s, it was definitely a sky-high luxury item!

Since childhood, the money for learning piano has been sky-high!

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

Qin Jianbo was also eager to try it out, and wanted to show off in front of the two beautiful beauties. Then he smiled proudly and said, "Then let's be ugly!"

He got up and walked to the grand piano in the corner. His proud look was not like he wanted to show his ugly face, but like a song that shook the world!

The waiter next to him came forward to ask, and when he learned that he was going to play the piano, he agreed.

This piano is placed in the restaurant, and it is more of a decoration and decoration, making the restaurant look high-end, elegant and elegant, and sometimes professionals are invited to play it.

If customers have the pleasure of playing the piano, the restaurant is of course welcome.

Qin Jianbo is at an amateur level, that is, he was forced by his family when he was a child and practiced 100 classes in the Youth Palace. His level is not very high. If he really takes the exam, he may not even be able to reach the level five level, so he can only play the song.

He played Bach's "Bapper Pipe" which was the introductory piece he had been practicing when he was a child.

"Bapper Pipe" is a piece of structure, and the musical material has not changed much, but the melody is beautiful, short, cheerful and flexible, and is a classic piece of music.

However, Qin Jianbo's level is limited and his playing is not satisfactory.

After playing, only Fu Meifang applauded hard, and the others reacted mediocrely.

Of course, Shen Xue understood music. She smiled slightly, and clapped her hands in agreement.

Wang Lin said: "It's good to play it. It would be even better if you keep playing the sound smoother."
