Chapter 1481 Cheap and Affordable

In a blink of an eye, the two-week training at D School came to the last day. When everyone walked out of the school gate and prepared to get on the bus to leave, someone suddenly suggested having a meal together.

"It's not easy for all of us to be classmates. After we graduate today, we don't know when we'll see each other again. Should we find a place to get together?"

"That's a good idea. We've been focusing on absorbing spiritual nourishment for the past two weeks. We haven't had a drink with each other. We're seven points short of friendship. We have to make up for it. We must make up for it."

"I know a great place that's both delicious and affordable. If you don't mind, how about I show you the way?"

"Sure, sure. Old Duan has a very picky palate. If he says it's delicious, then it must be delicious."

"Then let's go!"

"Let's go, let's go together."

Because a few students who took the lead were very good at livening up the atmosphere, basically no students in the class were disappointed, so everyone got into their own cars and followed Duan Jiajun's car to Chaoyang.

Li Ye got in the car and asked Qu Qingyou and Jiang Shiqi who came to pick him up: "Has anything special happened in the past two weeks?"

"Nothing. Lao Kang went to check the materials that had just arrived yesterday. He followed Jin Hong's report that the storage environment of the materials was not suitable. There was no major conflict, and no one has bothered Lao Kang yet."

Jiang Shiqi knew that Li Ye was asking about Kang Zhizhong's safety. After all, Zhou Ziqing was handling the company's affairs, and all they could do was this kind of "tough work" hidden in the dark.

"The materials have arrived? Lao Kang didn't mention any problems with the materials?"

Jiang Shiqi explained: "The materials did arrive, but only a portion of them. Lao Kang also tested the materials and found no problems."

Li Ye was a little surprised because Zhou Ziqing had called him once and said that the finance manager, Mr. Yang, would not allocate the material purchase fee from Jinhong.

So, not only has Jinhong purchased the materials on credit, but they have also passed Lao Kang's inspection?

What was she trying to achieve? To devote herself to the group?

Is Cong Jinhong that kind of person?

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Li Ye arrived at the place Duan Jiajun mentioned with full of doubts. When he looked up, he saw that it was a Cantonese restaurant.

Li Ye took out a wad of money from his bag and handed it to Jiang Shiqi and Qu Qingyou: "You two haven't eaten yet, right? I'm treating you today. You can have your own table and order whatever you want, but you can't drink!"

Drivers hate occasions like today the most. There is no punctual time for getting off work. If they wait for their boss to enjoy the food and drink inside while they eat a box lunch outside, they will definitely curse some people in their stomachs.

Therefore, Li Ye was never stingy with Jiang Shiqi and Qu Qingyou. Apart from drinking, whoring and gambling, they didn't spend much money.

Jiang Shiqi took the money and asked with a smile, "Uncle, can we have grouper and bird's nest with rock sugar?"

"Okay, of course. As long as you don't die from eating too much, you can eat whatever you want."

Li Ye cursed and laughed as he kicked Jiang Shiqi, who dodged nimbly while laughing.

In fact, Jiang Shiqi is very sensible and never spends Li Ye's money recklessly. He always refunds the excess and gives more when the deficit is up. Moreover, there are so many people from the advanced training class present today, so he will not spend money on wine and women.

Otherwise, if word gets out that "Li Ye's drivers all eat grouper", wouldn't that cause trouble for Li Ye?

Not to mention Li Ye's driver, even for Li Ye, it would not be appropriate to eat grouper here.

But when Li Ye followed Duan Jiajun and others into this Cantonese restaurant, he realized that he had been careless.

This is not the era of selling Maozi as loose liquor decades later, so what Duan Jiajun said about the benefits is too modest.

In Li Ye's inherent impression, although Cantonese cuisine cannot be compared with the "affordable" pork stewed with vermicelli in the north, it is not all about grouper and sea cucumber and bird's nest. Garlic-flavored ribs, boiled shrimp, stir-fried beef noodles, clay pot rice, Huadiao chicken, etc. are also relatively affordable.

But when the dishes were served, the more affordable mantis shrimp and sweet and sour pork only accounted for a small part, while the less affordable ones included sea cucumber with abalone sauce, grouper, baked lobster, etc.

It's not that Li Ye hasn't eaten this before. Every time he went to Hong Kong Island, Pei Wencong treated him to something much more luxurious than this. If he didn't know Li Ye's character, he might even do something more exaggerated.

But Li Ye always felt that today's meal was a bit inappropriate.

But looking at the expressions of all the classmates around him, it seemed very natural, so Li Ye just let it go.

Drinking loose liquor may cause problems decades later, but these days, I have never heard of anyone having a bad experience because of a banquet.

However, as a result, Li Ye rarely spoke at the table, relying entirely on his deep emotions to keep quiet in dealing with the people around him.

However, Li Ye's drinking is really inappropriate in this environment. Are these people really here to drink?

No, they are building a network.

"I'm the oldest, so I'll be honest. We're in the best of times right now, but it's also a difficult time. We can easily make mistakes if we're not careful, so we should all stay in touch and communicate more over the next few years. Don't keep any experiences to yourself."

"Old Wu, your words really hit the nail on the head. Everyone at school has probably guessed from what the teachers have said that the next few years will likely be a critical period. We all never know when we'll have to face the storm, so sharing experiences is crucial."

"Yes, let me toast everyone first. First, to celebrate our successful graduation, and second, to celebrate having so many new friends."

“.”

The people at the table were talking to each other enthusiastically and promised to share what they had in the future.

Old Wu suddenly said to Li Ye: "Brother Li Ye, don't just drink! Tell us about your experience. You are the most discerning among us."

Li Ye smiled and said, "What kind of vision do I have? I have the least experience here."

"You're too modest, Li Ye. We are all wise people. In the future, your achievements will be higher than ours!"

“Hehehe~”

Faced with Lao Wu's flattery, Li Ye could only respond with "Hehe".

Because he knew that although Old Wu and others seemed enthusiastic on the surface, they actually kept a proper distance from each other.

The higher these people climb, the more low-key they become. No matter how nicely they say things, they are extremely cautious in their hearts.

What they call "exchanging experiences" is also a sensitive topic.

Because times are changing, the requirements of the superiors for everyone are also changing. In the 1980s, the boss of the No. 1 Steel Plant only took 1.4 million and that was it. In the 1990s, it was nothing. But in the 1920s, 76,000 could give you a surprise.

Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people to grasp the "degree" here. If everyone shares what they have, they can grasp it more accurately.

Why do some people who are not very knowledgeable in Taoism always anxiously ask for advice from "knowledgeable people" when they encounter disasters?

Because after carefully inquiring about his situation, an understanding person will make a more accurate judgment based on standards beyond the written regulations.

[Your situation isn't a big deal. Cooperate actively and you'll probably be able to return home safely.]

[You are in trouble this time. Don't take chances and make arrangements for your family as soon as possible!]

[What did you just say? Oh, I don't understand. You should ask someone else.]

Li Ye believes that he will most likely not need to use the standards beyond the written regulations, because he does not even take advantage of the public when eating, so what disaster could there be?

If you really need this experience, you might as well ask your wife Wen Leyu!

I'll keep in touch with you guys, I'm afraid of water ghosts grabbing my ankles.
