Gu Li raised her head and looked at the driver in the driving position: "Let's drive and find a larger hotel."
The driver nodded and drove off.
A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of a hotel.
"Xiao Li, please leave first. I'll call you after I finish eating." After a few instructions to the driver, Gu Li led Ma Xiaoyao out of the car.
Ma Xiaoyao raised his head and took a look at the hotel, and found that the restaurant was really quite big, with a total of 7 floors. The outside of the building was painted with yellow paint, and a huge sign hung at the entrance of the hotel with "Baozhu Hotel" printed on it.
Five big characters.
"Ma Xiaoyao, why are you in a daze? Come in quickly." Gu Li called out to Ma Xiaoyao, who was in a daze.
"Well..." Ma Xiaoyao came back to his senses and said to Gu Li: "Sister Gu, this place is very expensive to eat... let's find another one..."
"I'm not asking you to spend money. Why do you care so much?" Gu Li smiled.
"No..." Ma Xiaoyao was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Gu Li.
"Don't look at the size of this hotel. In fact, the food is not expensive. You will know later. Okay, stop inking and go in quickly. I'm already hungry." After saying that, Gu Li said directly.
Walk towards the restaurant.
Seeing that Gu Li insisted on eating here, Ma Xiaoyao stopped trying to persuade her and followed Gu Li into the hotel building.
As soon as he entered the building, Ma Xiaoyao was immediately shocked. The decoration inside the building was so... luxurious. The floor was paved with smooth marble, the surrounding walls were painted white, and there were many porcelain vases, flower baskets and the like placed in the corners.
decorations, rows of dazzling crystal lamps hanging from the roof...
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing the surprise on Ma Xiaoyao's face, Gu Li asked curiously.
"This... this hotel is really luxuriously decorated..." Ma Xiaoyao praised.
"Haha... This is a three-star hotel. Of course, the interior decoration needs to be more exquisite." Gu Li said with a smile.
At this time, a man in a black suit walked over quickly: "Oh, what kind of wind brought Deputy Mayor Gu here today?" It was obvious that this man in a suit knew Gu Li.
"Hello, Manager Chen." Gu Li nodded politely to the man in the suit: "I came to have dinner with my friends today..." At this point, Gu Li pointed to Ma Xiaoyao standing next to her: "This is
Ma Xiaoyao, my good friend."
"Oh, hello, Mr. Ma, my name is Chen Yinghao, and I am the manager of this restaurant." The man in a suit hurriedly greeted Ma Xiaoyao.
Ma Xiaoyao obviously heard that Chen Yinghao had some respect for him. No need to ask, it must be for Gu Li's sake. Ma Xiaoyao did not put on airs and said a few words to Chen Yinghao politely.
"Manager Chen, please arrange a private room for me," Gu Li said.
"Okay, no problem." Chen Yinghao wanted to lead Gu Li and Ma Xiaoyao to the private room in person, but Gu Li refused in the end. In the end, Chen Yinghao had no choice but to let a smarter waiter lead Gu Li and Ma Xiaoyao there.
VIP box on the third floor.
The box area is not small, and the decoration is quite good. There is a large solid wood round table in the center of the box, and ten solid wood chairs are placed around the round table.
"Come, sit down." Gu Li called Ma Xiaoyao to sit at the table, then picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for Ma Xiaoyao.
"Sister Gu, I can do it myself." Ma Xiaoyao stretched out her hand to get the teapot.
Gu Li glared at Ma Xiaoyao: "Why are you so polite to me? Be honest and let me serve you well today."
"Serve me?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly became weird.
Gu Li also realized that she seemed to have used the wrong words. She blushed slightly and explained: "Don't think nonsense... I mean... you saved my life, and I will repay you well today."
"Haha... Sister Gu, you are so polite." Ma Xiaoyao smiled.
At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a waiter walked in with a dining cart, placed all the dishes Gu Li ordered on the table, and finally put down a bottle of Maotai wine.
"Okay, you have nothing to do here, go out." Gu Li said to the waiter.
The waiter nodded and pushed the dining cart out of the box.
Ma Xiaoyao looked at the table full of dishes and smiled bitterly: "Sister Gu, you want too many dishes, we can't finish them all."
"If you can't finish it, pack it away." Gu Li opened the wine box, took out the wine bottle and filled the wine glasses for Ma Xiaoyao and herself. Gu Li put down the wine bottle, picked up the wine glass and said, "Ma Xiaoyao, I'd like to toast you this glass of wine."
, thank you for saving my life!”
Ma Xiaoyao hurriedly picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Gu Li, and then poured the wine into his mouth. Ma Xiaoyao smashed it in his mouth and secretly shouted that the wine is good, it deserves to be Maotai, and the wine tastes pure.
Gu Li drank two more glasses of wine with Ma Xiaoyao, and then said: "Come, eat vegetables, try this crab, it tastes good." While talking, Gu Li took a big crab for Ma Xiaoyao.
Ma Xiaoyao struggled to open the crab shell, picked up a piece of crab meat with chopsticks, put it into his mouth and chewed: "Well, it's really delicious."
"If it's delicious, eat more." Gu Li picked up a few more crabs for Ma Xiaoyao.
"Thank you, Sister Gu." Ma Xiaoyao thanked him: "By the way, today I went to the Public Security Bureau and received a medal for a heroic citizen. In addition, I also took away the 13,000 yuan that was robbed by the gangsters.
return."
"Congratulations then." Gu Li smiled.
"Sister Gu, you don't know, the medal awarded to me by the city is made of gold. It's quite substantial and should be worth a lot of money." Ma Xiaoyao took out the medal from his body and handed it to Gu Li to look at.
Gu Li took the medal and looked at it for a few times: "Well, the workmanship is quite fine and the weight is not light. You have to keep it well. This is your honor. You probably don't know that there are three categories of medals awarded by the city.
They are gold medals, silver medals and bronze medals. As the name suggests, the gold medal is the best, while the silver medal and bronze medal are slightly worse. This time you have made great contributions, so the city
A gold medal was specially awarded to you. As far as I know, there are no more than five gold medals in the entire Linhai City, which can be said to be very rare."
Ma Xiaoyao's face showed surprise: "I didn't expect this medal to have so much to say."
"Keep it well. With this medal, it will be easy to find a job in the future. It is even more useful than a university diploma." Gu Li returned the medal to Ma Xiaoyao.
After listening to Gu Li's explanation, Ma Xiaoyao began to pay more attention to the medal and had no intention of selling it anymore.
If Gu Li knew that Ma Xiaoyao actually wanted to sell the medal for money, I don't know what her expression would be. She would probably laugh or cry.
Ma Xiaoyao had a great time eating this meal. He was drinking wine and savoring the delicious food. He was accompanied by a beautiful woman. This was simply the life of a fairy.
Halfway through the meal, the hotel manager Chen Yinghao knocked on the door and came in. He said he wanted to toast Gu Li. The deputy mayor came in person. As a hotel manager, of course he had to come in and toast. This is etiquette and must not be careless. Gu Li is the deputy mayor.
Mayor, I am responsible for the sanitation work. If you want to cause trouble for this hotel, you only need to send a message and the health bureau will come to check this hotel every day. By then, this hotel will probably be in serious trouble.
Gu Li didn't refute Chen Yinghao's dignity, and drank a glass of wine with Chen Yinghao directly. Even though Gu Li was a woman, she had quite a drinking capacity.
After toasting Gu Li, Chen Yinghao toasted Ma Xiaoyao another glass of wine and then left the box.
"Sister Gu, I can see that Chen Yinghao is in awe of you." After Chen Yinghao left, Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Gu Li shook her head: "What Chen Yinghao is in awe of is not me, but the black gauze hat on my head... If I were not the deputy mayor, Chen Yinghao would not pay attention to me at all. This is the way the world is now. You have status and status.
, others will look up to you and treat you respectfully, but if you have no identity or status, you will only be looked down upon and bullied."
Ma Xiaoyao nodded sympathetically: "Yes, this is how society is, and the human touch is getting weaker and weaker."
This meal lasted for more than an hour and did not end until around 1 p.m.
Gu Li settled the bill for the meal. Originally, Ma Xiaoyao wanted to pay, but Gu Li refused. The meal cost more than five hundred, and this was the price after discounts. Lin San grinned secretly, Samsung
The cost of a first-class hotel is really high. A meal here costs more than 500 yuan. It's almost like stealing money.
In fact, Chen Yinghao planned not to charge money, but Gu Li was very principled and insisted on paying. In the end, Chen Yinghao had no choice but to offer a 40% discount, which was considered to be only the cost.
After leaving the hotel, Gu Li called the driver and asked him to pick her up.
After a while, the driver drove over.
"Wherever you go, I'll take you there." Gu Li said to Ma Xiaoyao.
"No, I can just take a taxi..." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand hurriedly.
"Okay, don't be polite to me. Get in the car quickly. After I see you off, I have to go back to the city hall to handle some things." Gu Li pulled Ma Xiaoyao into the car without any explanation, and then ordered the driver to drive.
Ma Xiaoyao tried his best to stay away from Gu Li and avoid physical contact. This was not because Ma Xiaoyao was serious, but because he didn’t want the driver to misunderstand his relationship with Gu Li. After all, Gu Li was the deputy mayor and her reputation was very important.
Yes, in fact, Ma Xiaoyao was overthinking it. The driver was a confidant trained by Gu Li, so they would not ruin Gu Li's reputation.
"Where are you going?" Gu Li turned to look at Ma Xiaoyao.
"Oh, take me to the bar where I work." Ma Xiaoyao saw that it was getting late, so he planned to go to the bar.
Gu Li nodded and told the driver the address of the bar.
Half an hour later, the driver parked the car in front of the bar where Ma Xiaoyao worked.
"Sister Gu, thank you for inviting me to dinner today. I'll treat you another day!" Ma Xiaoyao opened the car door and walked out.
"Okay, it's settled. When you have time, you can treat me to dinner." Gu Li nodded to Ma Xiaoyao, then ordered the driver to drive away.
