Chapter 341 Xu Cheng's Actions
"Who are you looking for?"
"Sorry, I went to the wrong room."
Xu Cheng was wandering around the doors of the private rooms stealthily, and had already attracted the attention of several young waitresses.
Several girls were whispering to each other and occasionally giving pointers to this weird guy.
Xu Cheng felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Wanzhou only knew that her father was going to have dinner at this restaurant tonight but didn't know which private room he was going to have dinner in. This made it difficult for him as he could only look around one room at a time.
"Handsome guy." Finally, a brave waitress couldn't hold back and came over to pat Xu Cheng on the shoulder.
The boy hurriedly turned around and looked at the waitress standing in front of him, and the little sisters standing behind her, rubbing their hands as if to support her.
"What's wrong?"
"that……"
After all, it was Xu Cheng's first time to do such a thing, and he still felt a little nervous, so he hurriedly took the initiative to explain to the waiter.
"My friend didn't tell me which box..."
"Can I get to know you?" the waitress said, blinking.
She looked him up and down boldly with a smile on her lips.
Xu Cheng realized that he was too sensitive.
Even though he was sneaky, in this civilized society, who would investigate his behavior for no reason?
I guess even if he tells the truth , people will still say he has some mental problem.
"I..." As he was hesitating, Xu Cheng suddenly caught a glimpse of several figures behind the waitress.
One of them was Lin Wanzhou's father.
At this moment, Father Lin was standing next to another middle-aged man with a flattering look on his face, and there were three or five people around him.
He tried his best to strike up a conversation with the man, but the middle-aged man didn't seem to want to listen to him and walked straight downstairs without giving him any face, leaving Father Lin standing at the stairs with a dejected look on his face.
Xu Cheng, who witnessed this scene, suddenly became at a loss.
Although no one knows what happened exactly, for Lin Wanzhou's father, this was probably the most cowardly moment for a man and the one he least wanted to be seen by his family.
And if he was seen by Lin's father at this moment, how awkward it would be for the two of them to get along with each other in the future...
"Handsome? What's wrong with you?"
Just as he was thinking about it, the waitress waved in front of Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng quickly glanced around. At this moment, the distance between him and Lin's father was only about five or six meters, and there were only a few pedestrians and waitresses between them.
All around him were boxes filled with people.
If he rashly , he would definitely be questioned by the guests, which would probably attract the attention of Lin's father even more easily.
Apart from this, there was nothing around to block the view, not even a vase.
"I, I'll write down my phone number for you." He said to the waitress in a moment of urgency.
Of course the waitress was extremely happy. She looked back at her sisters like a female general who had won a battle, then took out a pen and paper from her pocket and gave it to him.
Xu Cheng lowered his head and quickly wrote down lines of numbers on the paper. Several waitresses gathered around and looked at the paper curiously.
They are all interested in Xu Cheng and have written down his number, but it is still uncertain who will be the winner.
Xu Cheng was standing among the girls. He stood loosely, and the several waitresses surrounding him blocked his figure very well.
At this moment, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Lin's father passed by him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The waitresses next to him looked at the lines of QQ numbers, phone numbers, emails... and his name on the paper.
Li Qiuyang.
Both eyes lit up.
Qiuyang, what a nice name, the warm sun in autumn.
"It's done." The boy handed the paper and pen back, and the waitress smiled and said thank you, then asked Xu Cheng.
"Do you know the owner of that box? I saw you were looking at him just now."
“…”
Xu Cheng was stunned.
I didn't expect that my reaction just now was seen carefully by others.
After thinking for a while, he pulled the waitress's arm and whispered, "I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I am his...son."
"Really?" the waitress was surprised.
Xu Cheng nodded.
"Um."
Sweat broke out on the boy's forehead.
A son is a son.
Anyway, it’s not a disadvantage for me.
If I really marry Lin Wanzhou in the future, I should call him dad.
"My dad has been drinking himself unconscious recently. When I heard he was going out to eat again today, I quickly sneaked over here, thinking of keeping an eye on him..."
“Oh my god.”
The waitress had already imagined a handsome man who was filial and caring for his elders. She covered her mouth with her hand for a moment, feeling so moved that she was speechless.
"Don't worry, the box just asked me for some wine, but then I heard your father say he was not feeling well and couldn't drink, so he returned several bottles. You don't have to worry about your uncle anymore."
Xu Cheng looked at her in surprise.
"Is that so? Were you in their box just now?"
"Yes, I saw the man who just left kept asking uncle to drink, but he really didn't drink."
"Did you hear what they were talking about in the box?"
Xu Cheng looked at the girl with shining eyes.
The waitress hesitated, "This..."
"oh."
Xu Cheng quickly explained the confusion.
"Recently, I've always felt that my dad has been working very hard. He comes home very late every day, and my mom always blames him. I think that although we, the younger generation, can't help our parents with their work, if I figure out what's going on, I can say a few more words for my dad at home so that my mom won't complain all the time. Don't you think so..."
“Wow, you are so responsible!”
Xu Cheng's seduction is not only effective on Lin Wanzhou, it seems to be effective on all girls.
The waitress was immediately moved.
"Actually, I didn't hear the details. I just heard something about investment, acquisition, etc. when I knocked on the door... and something like... financial crisis?"
invest?
Acquisition?
Financial crisis?
Xu Cheng suddenly had some guesses in his mind.
"I see. Thank you."
"Um, I'm free after get off work today..."
"Oh, I have something else to do tonight. If you have anything, just call me."
Xu Cheng patted her shoulder, made a cheering gesture, then turned around and went downstairs without hesitation.
Although there were only a few simple words provided by the waitress, combined with the scene witnessed by Xu Cheng, it was not difficult for him to guess that Lin's father's company should be facing some financial difficulties at the moment.
The financial crisis is naturally the subprime mortgage crisis that swept the world two years ago.
The impact of this crisis is not only global, but also spread across all industries.
He remembered that he had read in a newspaper that the subprime mortgage crisis caused at least half of the world's stock prices to evaporate, and countless companies and factories went bankrupt.
Xu Cheng remembered that Lin's father's company was in the transportation business, and it must have been hard hit by the subprime mortgage crisis.
And getting drunk so many times was probably also for the purpose of attracting investment, and the investors promoted the culture of urging people to drink, which is a deep traditional culture.
"If you don't drink, you're not giving me face..."
"If you have anything to say, drink this cup and we'll talk..."
Xu Chengguang could imagine the scene at the dining table just by using his imagination.
As for today's unpleasant parting, it must be because seeing that Mr. Lin was reluctant to drink, the investor felt that he was not giving him face, so he left angrily.
After sorting out all of this, Xu Cheng slowly walked down the stairs and saw Lin Wanzhou sitting alone on a bench in the lobby, waiting quietly and obediently.
"What are you daydreaming about?"
"oh?"
The girl raised her head and looked at him.
"You're back."
"What are you thinking about?"
"I……"
Lin Wanzhou asked somewhat embarrassedly, "I just suddenly remembered, have you not had dinner yet, Xu Cheng?"
Xu Cheng asked.
"Are you hungry now?"
"I've already had dinner."
Lin Wanzhou quickly emphasized, "I, I just thought that when I called you, you had just woken up, and then you came out with me, so you probably hadn't had dinner yet."
"Well, I didn't eat."
"Then I'll treat you to a meal... right here."
Lin Wanzhou felt that because of her family matters, Xu Cheng didn't even have time to eat dinner, so in order to repay him, it was only right to treat him to a big meal.
Xu Cheng was surprised.
"This place is pretty high-end, right? The food must be expensive. Why are you suddenly so generous to Lin Wanzhou?"
"So you're saying that I'm usually stingy?"
Hearing the girl's slightly threatening voice, Xu Cheng hurriedly scratched his head and explained .
"No, I mean you are usually quite frugal. Frugality is a traditional virtue. I like frugal girls. They are so virtuous."
"snort."
Lin Wanzhou stepped lightly on his white shoes in dissatisfaction, leaving a shoe print as a revenge.
He stepped lightly because he praised her for being virtuous.
Of course, this was what she wanted to do all night, just to take advantage of the situation.
Sooner or later, white shoes are bound to be stepped on by someone. It's just like when you throw a cat out, it will always fall on its back. It's a law.
So since you are going to be stepped on.
Then she would be the girl who took his virginity.
"Lin Wanzhou, do you have enough money to eat here?"
"That's enough."
The girl thought with a calculating look on her face.
"To reward my college entrance examination results, my mom gave me a lot of pocket money, and my dad also gave me some, which added up to about 500 yuan."
"Frog fun."
Xu Cheng was surprised. "Five hundred? That's enough for a king-size room!"
"???"
Lin Wanzhou slapped him angrily, "What are you talking about!"
She was in a state of panic.
What king-size bed room?
She just wanted to treat Xu Cheng to a big meal, not to treat her as a big meal for this guy.
It’s really too much. Why does Xu Cheng always think about doing these things with her?
But deep down in the girl's heart, she didn't seem to hate the feeling of being coveted by him. Instead, it was a proof of her attraction to him, which made her secretly satisfied.
In fact, it is not only boys who yearn for those mysterious things. Girls are also curious and want to try them all with the person they like, but they are restrained by reason.
Of course, only they can do things like braking, boys can't do it.
"Lin Wanzhou, please treat me to a meal, but not here." Xu Cheng took the girl's hand and pulled her up from her seat.
Lin Wanzhou panicked when she heard this and quickly emphasized, "I'm just inviting you to dinner. I won't go to a hotel with you today."
She is very careful with her words now.
He also deliberately added the word "today".
Don’t get me wrong, adding “today” doesn’t mean you can go tomorrow. If you don’t go “today”, you may not go tomorrow either.
"Don't worry, I'm not obsessed with that kind of thing."
"do not you?"
"Now that you say that, I want to kiss you again."
Lin Wanzhou quickly covered her mouth and nervously warned the guy, "There are so many people here!"
"Don't worry, I'm just afraid of running into your dad here. Let's go eat somewhere else. You don't know, I ran into your dad upstairs just now. There was no place to hide my face. Fortunately, there were a few waitresses..."
"Waitress?" Lin Wanzhou frowned.
She pricked up her ears and wanted to listen, but Xu Cheng stopped the topic in time, scratched his nose and said no more.
Fortunately, Lin Wanzhou didn't ask any more questions about this.
As for her father's affairs, Xu Cheng hesitated for a long time whether to tell her.
Although the idea that his father's company is on the verge of bankruptcy is just Xu Cheng's guess, it should be not far from the truth.
After much thought, he decided to keep it secret as he didn't want Lin Wanzhou to worry and be sad because of her father's affairs.
Xu Cheng took Lin Wanzhou to a spicy hot pot restaurant.
It's just a small restaurant with small tables and simple environment. Compared with the big hotel just now, it is less magnificent and more homely.
The two of them ordered a large portion of spicy hot pot.
There weren't many people in the restaurant, so the food was quickly prepared and served to the table. Even though Lin Wanzhou had already eaten, he and Xu Cheng still ate a lot, head to head, and sweat broke out on their foreheads.
She wiped it with a tissue and then spit out her burned tongue.
"Xu Cheng, I'm inviting you to dinner, and you want to eat in a place like this?"
"What's wrong with this kind of place? I just like eating spicy hot pot with you. I want to eat it for the rest of my life."
"Who, who wants to eat spicy hot pot with you for the rest of my life..." Lin Wanzhou muttered to himself.
She was very cautious here.
What is pointed out is not to eat spicy hot pot with Xu Cheng for the rest of his life, not to not eat it with Xu Cheng for the rest of his life.
"I mean, I finally have so much money..." Lin Wanzhou muttered, not knowing how to tell Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng smiled and wiped the chili off the corners of her mouth.
"I see."
He understood her feelings very well.
Maybe I really wanted to do something for him, but I found that his requests were very simple.
In fact, he felt the same way most of the time when he was with Lin Wanzhou.
As a reborn person, he wanted to do a lot of things for her, but found that what she wanted was really simple.
"Okay, I'll save my money as a betrothal gift, and you'll save your money... as a dowry."
"What? Dowry! Ahem."
Lin Wanzhou was about to retort when this guy stuffed a hotpot meatball into his mouth. He couldn't say anything and could only stare with his big eyes and chew noisily.
"Lin Wanzhou."
"Hmm?"
"Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine."
"Hmm? Hmm? Hmm?"
