While the two were eating, Tonghua seemed to be eating, but in fact he didn't take many bites and kept drinking water.
Li Ji thought she didn't like the dishes he ordered, so he raised his hand to call the waiter over and order a few more dishes. Tonghua stopped him immediately.
"No, really no, I don't have a good appetite right now, and I don't really want to eat."
Li Ji sighed as he ate, "That's such a shame. The dishes I ordered are all very good."
Tonghua thought, it is really good. The price of these dishes alone is unbearable. If the dishes are not delicious, who would be willing to eat here?
After they finished their meal, the waiter came over with the bill and said to Li Ji with a smile: "Sir, your total consumption today is 4,888 yuan. Would you like to pay by card or cash?"
Tonghua exclaimed: "4888? Can I see the bill?"
The waiter seemed a little surprised that a lady would ask to see the bill, but soon put on a smile again: "Okay, no problem."
Tonghua took the bill and looked at the amount on it. She counted the amount below the bill and found that there were indeed thirteen dishes, the same number as the dishes on their table.
After confirming that everything was correct, she handed the bill back to the waiter somewhat helplessly and whispered, "Can I pay with my phone?"
The waiter opened his mouth slightly, as if startled. He glanced at Li Ji, then at Tonghua, and stammered, "Yes, yes, ma'am, please go to the front desk to pay the bill."
Looking at the dishes that had barely been touched, and then at the exorbitant bill, Tonghua waved to the waiter: "Sorry, please take this, this, and that to go."
Tonghua pointed at the dishes on the table. Although some of them were cold, they were still exquisitely presented.
But the waiter said to her with a smile: "Sorry, we don't provide take-out service here."
"Why can't we pack it up? We haven't even touched some of the dishes yet. It would be such a shame if we don't pack it up and take it back."
The waiter still had that formal smile on his face: "This is the rule of our restaurant. My dear guest, please understand."
Tonghua looked at the untouched food in front of her with deep resentment, then stood up and went to the front desk to pay the bill.
Li Ji saw that she was reluctant to leave, thought for a moment, and turned to go to another place.
"Please scan this to pay."
Tonghua took out her cell phone and was about to pay when she suddenly froze as if acupuncture had hit her.
She didn't have that much money on her!
In fact, she had tens of thousands of yuan in savings, but she did so to prevent her stepmother from asking her for money and to develop the habit of spending less money.
As soon as her salary arrived, half of it was automatically transferred to another bank card, which was not linked to her mobile phone.
The situation is too embarrassing now.
If she doesn't have enough money to eat at a restaurant, people won't think she's eating for free, right?
what to do?
"Ahem," Tonghua cleared his throat, "I suddenly have a stomachache. Can I go to the toilet first?"
The waiter said with his usual smile, "Please."
But she didn't know if Tonghua was being too suspicious, she always felt that the girl at the front desk seemed to see through everything about her, and she felt very embarrassed.
She quickly walked to the bathroom and without saying a word, sent a voice message to her best friend.
【Help is needed. 】
[It's urgent. Please quickly give me 5,000 yuan. I need it urgently.]
Crash/Crash/Crash
【Crying/】
After waiting for several minutes, the person on the other end didn't reply.
Tonghua was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead and his face turned red.
Is this girl still asleep?!
What should I do then?
It's so embarrassing.
Seeing that the other party did not reply to the message, Tonghua exited the chat box with her and slid her fingertips to Qin Zun's WeChat avatar.
After hesitating for a while, he opened the dialog box with the other party.
At the end of the message, he still stayed with the one he sent to himself this morning: When will you be back?
Tonghua felt extremely guilty. Her husband asked her when she would be home, but not only did she not reply, she now had to ask him for help because she had dinner with another man and had no money to pay the bill.
If it were me, I would probably be furious and never talk to the other person again.
Don't even think about borrowing money.
But she swore that she really didn't mean to not reply to his message. At that time, Li Ji had finished breakfast and came out of the store to talk to her. She was interrupted by this and forgot to reply after reading the message.
She stared at the phone screen for a long time, her palms sweating.
While I was still hesitating, I suddenly heard someone coming in, as if looking for something.
Could it be that he saw she hadn't gone out for a long time and thought she had run away, so he was looking for her?!
She was so frightened that she panicked and accidentally dialed Qin Zun's number.
"Beep, beep."
The call was quickly connected, and Tonghua seemed to have found a life-saving straw, with a soft tone: "Mr. Qin, can you lend me 5,000 yuan now? I will pay you back as soon as I get back."
If you don’t hear from the other person for a day, then when you receive a message, it means that the other person seems to have encountered a problem.
Qin Zun was so shocked that he stood up immediately, his tone carrying a barely perceptible anxiety: "Did something happen to you? Do you want me to come over? Five thousand yuan, right? I'll transfer it to you right away."
Feeling the other person's care, Tonghua's anxiety was relieved a lot, her nose felt sore and she almost shed tears.
People are like this. Even when they encounter difficulties, they can handle it by themselves as if nothing happened. But once someone tries to comfort them, their emotions will immediately break down and they can't stop crying.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin."
Tonghua hung up the phone.
Ding Dong
It was the sound of WeChat transfer. Tonghua opened WeChat, received the money, and did not forget to send a cute rabbit emoticon package of thanks.
She gathered herself together, walked to the front desk and paid the bill.
She walked out of the store and saw Li Ji waving at her.
She walked to Li Ji, and Li Ji handed her what he was holding.
Tonghua took a look and saw it was a bag with exquisite packaging.
"I just saw that you really like the food here. I just asked someone to take it away."
Tonghua pointed towards the restaurant behind her: "But didn't the waiter just say that takeout is not allowed?"
Li Ji scratched his head and said with a smile: "Oh, that's it. I know the manager of this store, so I asked him to pack it for us. Are you happy?"
"Oh, I see."
The expression on Tonghua's face faded. It seemed that he had chosen this store specifically to support his friend.
