In the end, Wang Gang did not take Qiu Yingying to eat at McDonald's, but instead went to a high-end Western restaurant.
Qiu Yingying felt a little guilty since she walked in.
The decoration of the western restaurant was too luxurious. This was the first time Qiu Yingying came to such a place. When she saw the prices in the menu, she secretly said to Wang Gang behind the back of the waiter:
"How about we go to McDonald's? The food here is too expensive, I don't dare to order it."
Wang Gang couldn't laugh or cry and said: "I have money, you don't have to save it for me."
Qiu Yingying asked in confusion: "What kind of job did you change to? Is the salary high?"
"Anyway, the salary is much higher than before. This meal is just to celebrate my job change. You don't have to save money for me. You can order whatever you want."
Qiu Yingying was a little suspicious, looked at the menu again, and ordered the cheapest one. Wang Gang heard that it was an appetizer soup.
Wang Gang had no choice but to bring over the menu and said to the waiter: "The appetizer is Hokkaido tuna salad, the soup is cream of mushroom soup, the main course is rib eye steak and sirloin, and the dessert is tiramisu and ice cream cake."
Another bottle of wine, Latour 1998.”
The waiter took back the menu and asked: "Sir, how cooked do you want the steak to be?"
Wang Gang asked Qiu Yingying: "How cooked is your steak?"
Qiu Yingying asked in confusion: "What do you mean, you can eat beef without cooking it?"
Wang Gang saw that Qiu Yingying had never eaten Western food, so he made the decision himself: "She wants it medium rare, and I want it medium rare."
The waiter nodded and left. Wang just explained to Qiu Yingying: "Steaks that are well-done are older. Generally, medium-rare is the most tender. However, there may be some blood. I'm afraid you won't be used to it, so I'll order medium-rare."
Qiu Yingying said innocently: "I have never eaten such high-end Western food. I have only eaten at Haoke Lai."
Wang Gang nodded and said: "This store is the most famous for its steaks. You can try it later. It should be better than the high-end restaurant."
Qiu Yingying asked suspiciously: "Do you often come to a place like this?"
Wang Gang explained: "This is my first time coming to this store. I just want to bring you some delicious food."
Qiu Yingying squinted her eyes, obviously not believing it.
"Have you often brought girls to places like this before?"
Wang Gang suddenly realized that Qiu Yingying wanted to do this.
"Where are you thinking?"
Qiu Yingying pouted and said a little unconfidently: "Looking at how skillful you are in ordering, you must have ordered in front of girls before."
Wang Gang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "To tell you the truth, today is the first time in my life that I have brought a girl to eat Western food."
"Really." Qiu Yingying said happily.
"Of course it is true. I will lie to you again." Wang Gang did not lie. It was the first time in "this life".
"I believe you." Qiu Yingying smiled happily.
Wang Gang asked instead: "Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"
Qiu Yingying said innocently: "I know you won't lie to me."
Wang Gang discovered that although Qiu Yingying was a bit silly, it was really rare to treat others with sincerity.
The waiter quickly brought a bottle of wine over and said to Wang Gang and Qiu Yingying: "Sir, Madam, this is a 1998 Latour, please take a look."
Qiu Yingying didn't know what kind of wine she was, so she directly blamed Wang Gang: "I don't understand, just take a look!"
Wang Gang didn't even look at it, he just asked the waiter to open it and pour some wine for tasting.
Qiu Yingying ate this meal very restrainedly. She was afraid that it would be inappropriate and embarrass Wang Gang, so she ate cautiously.
Wang Gang saw Qiu Yingying struggling to cut the steak, so he helped her cut the steak completely.
The gentleman's behavior made Qiu Yingying more and more satisfied with Wang Gang.
Qiu Yingying was not a good drinker. After half a glass of red wine, her face got red. Wang Gang did not force her to drink, but instead ordered her a non-alcoholic drink.
It took almost an hour and a half to finish dinner. When Wang Gang saw that it was almost time, he was ready to pay and leave.
Qiu Yingying glanced at the bill and didn't move her eyes away.
"Sixteen thousand?!" Qiu Yingying screamed, attracting the attention of everyone in the restaurant.
"Why is it so expensive? Are you a black shop?" Qiu Yingying grabbed the bill and found that just a bottle of wine costs 11,000 yuan, and there is a 10% service fee.
Wang Gang asked Qiu Yingying to sit down first, then took the bill, handed the credit card to the waiter, and said: "The Latour in 1998 is about the same price."
"Why is the wine so expensive? I don't think it tastes good!" Qiu Yingying picked up the bottle and asked in confusion.
The waiter took Wang Gang's card to check out, and Wang Gang explained to Qiu Yingying: "Latour is a French national treasure winery. The 98-year-old wine is only average. If I have the opportunity, I will take you to drink the 82-year-old Latour."
"I can't afford to drink such expensive wine." Qiu Yingying stuck out her tongue.
After settling the bill, Wang Gang took a taxi to take Qiu Yingying back to Ode to Joy.
As soon as the car stopped at the gate of the community, agent Xiao Li came to greet us.
"Mr. Bai, you are so punctual."
When agent Xiao Li saw Qiu Yingying, his eyes lit up and he said, "Is this your wife?"
Qiu Yingying was a little embarrassed by Xiao Li's words, and her face turned red like an apple.
"We're not married yet."
Agent Xiao Li suddenly said: "It turns out you two want to buy a wedding house!"
Qiu Yingying finally came to her senses and turned to Wang Gang and asked, "Do you want to buy a house?"
Wang Gang nodded and said, "Sister Fan of yours is right. Now that house prices are rising every year, it's more cost-effective to buy a house early. There happens to be a house for sale in your community, so let's take a look."
Qiu Yingying said in surprise: "If you want to buy a house in Ode to Joy, the house prices here are not cheap."
No one knows the housing prices in Ode to Joy better than Qiu Yingying. For outsiders working in Shanghai, houses in Ode to Joy are simply out of reach.
Qiu Yingying dreams of owning a house like Ode to Joy, but with her salary of 5,000 yuan, she can't even afford a bathroom.
"It just so happens that you have a suitable set here." Wang Gang did not explain too much.
Agent Xiao Li was also a little confused at this time. It seemed that the couple in front of him didn't look like a husband and wife or a boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Xiao Li, is the landlord here?"
"Here they come, the owner has arrived early and is waiting in the house now." Xiao Li reacted and said, it doesn't matter who they are, as long as they get a commission from the sale of the house.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Mu Yang, can I go see the house?" Qiu Yingying said a little embarrassed.
"Of course you can. You happen to live in Ode to Joy, so please give me a reference." Wang Gang said with a smile.
Qiu Yingying smiled happily.
"No one knows the environment of the community better than me. I will show you around."
Wang Gang was noncommittal and made a gesture of invitation.
Qiu Yingying happily walked in front and led Wang Gang into the Ode to Joy.
To be honest, the environment of the Ode to Joy community is really good, and the greening is pretty good. It can be regarded as a model of mid-range communities in Shanghai.
The house Wang Gang was interested in was in Building 11, right next to the building where Qiu Yingying lived.
When the three of them passed by Qiu Yingying's building, a girl suddenly stopped Qiu Yingying.
"Yingying, where are you going?"
"Guan Guan!"
The girl is none other than Qiu Yingying’s roommate Guan Juer.
Wang Gang saw Guan Ju'er carrying a bag of things in his hand. He must have come downstairs to take out the trash.
"Mu Yang, let me introduce to you. This is my roommate and my best friend Guan Ju'er." Qiu Yingying happily took Wang Gang's hand and walked to Guan Ju'er.
"This is my boyfriend Bai Muyang."
Guan Ju'er went downstairs to take out the trash. She was dressed more casually, with slippers on her feet. Qiu Yingying solemnly introduced her boyfriend to her, which made her a little shy and lowered her head.
Qiu Yingying didn't notice the embarrassment of her good sisters at all, and proudly showed off to Guan Ju'er that her boyfriend was going to buy a house in Ode to Joy.
Guan Ju'er was very surprised when he heard that Wang Gang was going to buy a house.
She heard Qiu Yingying say that her boyfriend was just the financial director of a small company and should not have the strength to buy a house like Ode to Joy.
"Guan Guan, why don't you come with us to see the house?" Qiu Yingying enthusiastically took Guan Ju'er's hand and said.
"It's not appropriate!" Guan Ju'er felt a little confused.
"What's inappropriate? It's right next door anyway, just two steps away." Qiu Yingying said carelessly.
Guan Ju'er couldn't help but look at Wang Gang, always feeling that it would not be good for her as an outsider to get involved.
Qiu Yingying had already spoken. What else could Wang Gang say? He could only agree!
Qiu Yingying forced Guan Ju'er to walk towards Building 11. Wang Gang and agent Xiao Li could only follow them.
The four of them took the elevator to the 19th floor. The door to Room 1903 was already open and the lights were on. A middle-aged man was standing at the door smoking, apparently the owner of the room.
Agent Xiao Li took the lead and walked over to introduce a few people.
The landlord's surname is Han, a native of Magic City, about fifty years old, and he looks pretty good.
"Which one of you is coming to see the house?" the homeowner asked puzzledly when he saw that the agent had brought three people over.
"This is my friend. He lives in Ode to Joy. He came here to help me and give me some advice." Wang Gang explained.
When the homeowner saw the two young girls beside Wang Gang, he showed an expression that all men would understand.
