Chapter 315
Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun exchanged a glance.
It's not hard to see what Zhao Si is thinking; he doesn't seem to intend to hide it.
I could tell they seemed to have some connections, so I wanted to make friends with them.
Lei Tingjun glanced at Ji Wanmei and said coldly, "No need, we have other things to do. We'll leave after we place the order."
"Hey, no matter how much you're in a rush, there's no need to rush for this one meal. Don't worry, when I, Zhao Si, say I'm treating, I mean it. Whether you come back to my business or not, I, Zhao Si, am a man of principle. I think people who get along with me should be friends."
Ji Wanmei observed for a while and realized that Zhao Si was quite a smart person.
Lei Tingjun declined his invitation to dinner, probably because he was worried that she, a woman, especially a beautiful one, would have trouble dealing with such a complex social figure.
However, Ji Wanmei was not as delicate as Lei Tingjun thought, nor did she need as much protection as Lei Tingjun thought, except for physical strength.
Having lived two lives, Ji Wanmei was still confident that in business and in matters of interpersonal relationships, most men couldn't gain the upper hand over her.
Unless she sets a trap herself.
So Ji Wanmei spoke up after thinking it through.
She reached out and tugged at Lei Tingjun's sleeve to indicate that everything was alright, then smiled generously and said, "Great! Since Boss Zhao is so generous and willing to treat us, let's make the most of this chance encounter and become friends with Boss Zhao. Who knows, we might even become close partners in the future."
Upon hearing Ji Wanmei's words, Zhao Si couldn't help but laugh. Wow, he never expected that the one making the decisions in this couple would actually be this beautiful young lady.
The big guy next to me looks cold and intimidating, but I never expected him to be a henpecked husband in private.
He listens to his wife in everything.
This is actually quite funny.
Zhao Si put away his grinning expression and carefully looked at Ji Wanmei again.
To be able to keep such a powerful man under her thumb and have him listen to her in everything, it seems this woman isn't as weak and harmless as she appears.
The truly capable people are not necessarily the most aggressive ones.
"Alright, then I'll treat you both to a meal at Guangyue Restaurant. Come on, I'll drive you there. My car is parked up ahead."
Zhao Si values connections in business. In his years of experience in big cities, he believes that connections lead to business.
Without connections, no matter how much stock you have, your business won't grow big.
With this experience, Zhao Si usually avoids falling out with people who seem to have a powerful background or potential. It's normal for them to become like brothers. If he occasionally encounters difficulties and asks for help, they can solve the problem with just a word.
Personal connections are sometimes much more effective than spending money to get things done.
Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun followed Zhao Si to the roadside where the car was parked and saw a new Volkswagen Santana.
This car isn't cheap; it costs at least tens of thousands of yuan these days.
It seems that Zhao Si has indeed made money from this reselling business.
Zhao Si called over the young men in the shop, then loaded up Lei Tingjun and Ji Wanmei, and drove off to Guangyue Restaurant.
As soon as he entered, the lobby manager of Guangyue Restaurant greeted Zhao Si with great flattery.
Judging from his appearance, Zhao Si spends a lot of money here and is a regular at this upscale restaurant.
Zhao Si immediately requested a private room and asked the lobby manager to prepare the dishes, all of which were the restaurant's signature dishes. He also had two bottles of Wuliangye baijiu brought over.
Judging by the atmosphere, tonight's dinner is going to be a night of drinking until everyone's drunk.
Moreover, Zhao Si brought someone with him, so he had help.
Ji Wanmei was not allowed to drink alcohol; only Lei Tingjun drank.
That means we're going to drink two cups tonight.
Ji Wanmei knew that Lei Tingjun had a high alcohol tolerance and she had never seen him drunk, but that was only with beer.
She had never seen him drink baijiu before, and she was still a little worried. She looked at him with concern.
Lei Tingjun squeezed Ji Wanmei's palm under the table, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
The dishes were served quickly.
The lobby manager personally led the waiters in a line to serve the dishes.
Cantonese cuisine is very particular about plating and presentation, emphasizing refinement and styling. Each dish is colorful and presented in exquisite porcelain, along with auspicious names that are sure to make it look quite classy.
Ji Wanmei estimated that this meal must have cost at least a hundred yuan.
For an ordinary worker, a month's salary is considered the cost of one meal. Zhao Si is indeed quite generous.
"Come, come, Brother Lei, Miss Ji, have a glass of wine and some simple food, please help yourselves and don't be shy. I, Zhao Si, am a straightforward person!" Zhao Si greeted them warmly.
Lei Tingjun said, "My girlfriend doesn't drink alcohol."
Zhao Si already knew that Lei Tingjun would never let his woman drink alcohol, so he laughed and said, "Don't worry, we never urge ladies to drink at the dinner table."
After saying that, Zhao Si smiled and looked at Ji Wanmei: "Miss Ji, how about I order you a drink? Would you like some cola? You can also eat some vegetables."
Ji Wanmei smiled and replied, "No need, I'll just have tea instead of wine."
As the dinner officially began, Zhao Si gave a signal to his underling, who then enthusiastically came over to pour wine for Lei Tingjun.
