Chapter 376: Blind date, meal agent?
"Is this really possible? I've only heard of bar touts, but there are also restaurant touts?"
Shen Ci was shocked. If such activities had existed in the past, it would be understandable. But now is the era of Internet sharing, all information is transparent, and restaurants still dare to use yin and yang menus?
"Food touts and wine touts are the same thing after all."
Yin-Yang menus have actually always existed, but ordinary people are not so unlucky as to encounter them. Restaurants in scenic spots are the hardest hit areas for Yin-Yang menus, and they are exposed in the news every year.
"Let me hear what's going on first?" Chen Ci looked at Tang Song.
He just nodded slightly. Neither of them was a hot-headed person, and they were both very calm at this moment.
Not long after, Li Jianguo came back. The woman opposite smiled at him, with watery eyes, red lips, and a lively look, she was really charming.
"Have you ordered everything?"
"I've ordered. Do you want anything else?"
"No need, just order what you like." Li Jianguo spoke in an elegant manner, and it was not difficult to tell from his temperament that he was a highly educated man.
He has a Longcheng household registration, a decent job, a house and a stable income. Such men are very popular in the blind date market.
"You know everything about my situation, right?" Li Jianguo asked cautiously, looking at the other party.
"I understand. I just want to ask, is your job as a counselor regular?"
Li Jianguo nodded: "Yes, don't worry about that."
"That's good." The woman smiled happily and sat upright with a contented posture. "I don't ask for anything else, I just want stability."
Li Jianguo showed hesitation on his face, and after moving his mouth, he said, "Actually, what I want to ask is, do you have a clear understanding of my physical condition?"
"What's going on? What's wrong with you?"
"I have a rare disease and I have to take medication for the rest of my life."
"It's not a terminal illness, is it?"
"That's not...if you pay more attention, your life won't be in danger."
The woman showed some hesitation on her face, and she looked flawless. Li Jianguo, as an educated person, did not notice anything unusual about her.
Even Shen Ci, who secretly listened to the two people talking, thought it was just a normal blind date.
"Could it be a mistake?"
Shen Ci asked in a low voice, afraid of causing any misunderstanding.
Tang Song was peeling shrimp for her. Hearing this, he turned his head and looked at her calmly, smiling, "Let's eat first. Things like this won't be revealed until the bill is paid."
During the process, the other party must establish enough trust in Li Jianguo so that he will be willing to pay the bill when checking out.
The subsequent conversations between the two were mostly in-depth discussions about personal situations. The woman was obviously experienced, spoke calmly, and her every frown and smile was just right. She also appeared to be extremely well-educated and well-mannered, which gave Li Jianguo a particularly good first impression of her.
The woman also ordered a bottle of white wine, and the two of them drank and chatted, having a great time.
"I don't know. What's your impression of me?"
Finally, Li Jianguo asked tentatively, his tone and eyes unable to hide his nervousness and expectation.
It was obvious that he really hoped to meet the other party again.
"You are certainly very qualified. You are well-educated and have a handsome appearance. To be honest, I have met several men recently, and I am most satisfied with you."
The woman smiled shyly and subtly, lowering her head slightly at a 45-degree angle. She said softly, "It's just that my conditions are a bit too ordinary compared to yours. I'm afraid you'll find it inappropriate..."
"How could that be?" Li Jianguo perked up when he heard the other party was very satisfied with him. "You're too modest. You're beautiful and have a good personality. And to be honest, my mother forced me to go on this blind date. Although my illness is not terminal, I need someone by my side if it relapses. She hopes that I will find someone else as soon as possible to take care of me in life."
"I originally had no hope for blind dates, but after meeting you today, I'm glad I came."
All these words fell into Shen Ci's ears, and she grinned!
Li Jianguo is so innocent, he even said, "I'm very glad that I came!"
When I see the bill later, I will probably regret not taking the opportunity to run away when I went to the toilet just now!
Tang Song couldn't help but smile dotingly at Chen Ci's expression, lowered his head and blew into her ear, saying, "We should be thankful to be here, otherwise we would have missed this great show."
Shen Ci glared at him: "I'm here to save my teacher, not to watch him make trouble."
"I see you're watching it with great interest!"
The woman seemed to be very pleased with what Li Jianguo said, and then she said, "Since we have a good impression of each other, why don't you pick a time for us to go out for a walk together sometime? When the weather is warm, we can go to the park to bask in the sun, or go to the movies."
"Okay, I think so too." Li Jianguo agreed eagerly.
After sitting for a while, the woman finally called the waiter to pay the bill.
"Sir, this is the bill for your consumption today."
The waiter was very tactful and handed the bill directly to Li Jianguo. Li Jianguo didn't take it seriously at first. The two of them only ordered four dishes and a bottle of white wine. How expensive could it be?
Besides, he was in a good mood today, so he could accept it even if it exceeded the budget a little.
Unexpectedly, he just glanced at the amount on the bill and his face froze instantly.
Is this Duo Shao?
There were detailed information on the bill. The woman was very experienced and the dishes she ordered were very tricky. The names of the dishes were long and abstract, all related to precious ingredients such as "black truffle", "deer antler" and "sea cucumber".
This will give people the illusion that the dishes are expensive because the ingredients are expensive.
If you order a plate of spicy and sour potato shreds and then charge an exorbitant price, that's bound to arouse suspicion.
And that bottle of wine. Li Jianguo thought he knew enough about liquor, but he had never even heard of that wine, yet it was sold for nearly fifty cents (five thousand)!
Before he could react, the woman had already put on her coat and stood up, looking at him and said, "How about I do it?"
When these words were spoken, it was clear that this woman's level was extremely high!
As expected, Li Jianguo almost subconsciously refused after hearing this: "No, no, how can I let a lady pay? I'll do it."
As he spoke, he had already picked up his phone, but just as he was about to scan the code to pay, Shen Ci stood up and turned around: "Director Li!"
The light, crisp sound made Li Jianguo, the woman opposite him, and the waiter all stunned.
Seeing Chen Ci, Li Jianguo's eyes widened in shock, and it took him a while to react: "Eh? Chen Ci? Why are you here?"
At this time, he also noticed Tang Song who was with Shen Ci. He remembered this young man. He was Shen Ci's boyfriend and a policeman. He had met him once when he was in the hospital.
So he subconsciously asked, "Are you coming here to eat with your boyfriend?"
