I'm so sorry, I thought you saw me." Zhang Chao apologized quickly.
"Nothing. What do you suggest?"
"Do you want Chinese or Western food? I have recommendations for both." Zhang Chao had obviously done his homework to accompany Ye Li and the others.
"What is Western food? What do they eat?" Zhou Lin asked in confusion. It was obvious that she was not very familiar with the term.
"No matter what kind of Western food it is, we'll just eat Chinese food. We're not used to those Western food." Nie Fan had tried so-called Western food once when he was on a business trip, and it was not to his taste at all.
"I didn't ask you. Since you are not used to foreign food, why did you ask others to treat you to coffee this morning? Isn't coffee also a foreign thing?" Zhou Lin was quick-witted. When Nie Fan interrupted her, she immediately became unhappy and started to fight back.
"I'm just saying it. The coffee tastes as bad as the ash at the bottom of the pot. Who wants to drink that?" Nie Fan was embarrassed by Zhou Lin's criticism, so he had to make up for it by belittling coffee.
"Tsk, I don't believe it~"
"Boss Ye, I know a delicious steamed bun shop very close to here. You can go and try it." Seeing that the few people were not interested in Western food, Zhang Chao recommended some famous local snacks.
...
...
"What's so delicious about buns..." Zhou Lin muttered.
"The buns here are different from those in other places. You will know when you get here. Please follow me." Zhang Chao has taken the initiative to act as a guide for the few people.
"Sister Ye Li, he's going with us too." Zhou Lin saw that Zhang Chao had no intention of leaving.
"Well, I guess he will follow me throughout the next few days." Ye Li was also having a headache. Although she was very grateful for Zhao Ziming's arrangement, she was not used to the feeling of being arranged by others. She felt very uncomfortable.
In this way, Zhang Chao took Ye Li and others to a bun shop.
Ye Li ordered three types of buns and five servings of soup according to Zhang Chao's recommendation.
While waiting for the buns, Zhang Chao suddenly stood up and waved towards the door.
Ye Li looked in the direction where Zhang Chao was waving and saw Zhao Ziming walking in.
As soon as Zhao Ziming walked to the table, he began to blame Zhang Chao.
"I asked you to have dinner with Boss Ye and the others, and you treated them to steamed buns? Is the funding I gave you not enough for other food?"
Hearing Zhao Ziming's rebuke, Zhang Chao immediately explained, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up with the next event if I go too far. Boss, I really don't want to save money. Although this bun shop looks ordinary, it is also a time-honored brand. The taste is very good, not worse than the dishes in big restaurants. Can I give you two to try?"
"Boss Zhao, don't blame Xiao Zhang. It was us who wanted to come here to eat."
"Yes, that's it."
Seeing that Ye Li and the others were not angry, Zhao Ziming finally relaxed his brows. Zhang Chao gave his seat to Zhao Ziming and sat at the table next to him.
"Since Xiao Zhang said the buns here are good, give me two. I've been in Hai City for so many years, but I've rarely eaten the buns here."
Finally, Zhao Ziming brought the menu again and ordered buns of various flavors.
"Boss Zhao, that's enough. You ordered too much and you can't finish it." Ye Li advised and forced the waiter to return half of the buns.
After the buns were served, Zhou Lin and Nie Fan realized that the buns in Haishi were so small and the skin was so thin. Nie Fan could swallow three in one bite!
"This is our soup dumpling. Please feel free. Let's start eating." Zhao Ziming took the lead in picking up a soup dumpling and putting it on a small plate, then began to demonstrate how to eat the dumpling.
The others followed suit and started eating.
Soon, all the buns on the table were eaten up.
"So delicious! I didn't expect there was soup in the buns!" Zhou Lin exclaimed, finding it very fresh.
Nie Fan was still not satisfied after eating, he was not full yet... The buns here were too watery and couldn't fill his stomach at all, the big meat buns he eats at home are more filling!
"Everyone, I'm sure you've finished your meal. Come with me." Zhao Ziming told Zhang Chao to pay the bill and then took everyone to a new place.
"Boss Zhao, don't you have something to do tonight?" Ye Li didn't know where Zhao Ziming was going to take them next.
"Originally, there was something wrong, but I took care of it. Next, I will take everyone to relax. The road is not far, let's walk there, it will be a good opportunity to digest the food."
Zhao Ziming led the way enthusiastically, not giving Ye Li and the others any chance to refuse.
A few people walked along the main road. After about ten minutes, Zhao Ziming led them through a long and narrow alley, and tonight's destination appeared in front of everyone.
"Where is this?" Ye Li couldn't help but frowned as he looked at the neon lights and big signs hanging at the door.
"This is a nightclub!" Nie Fan took another look at the sign and it was indeed a nightclub.
"No, no, it's not a nightclub. Why would I take you to that kind of place? This is a disco, a place where you can dance, there's no mess." Zhao Ziming saw that several people looked unhappy and quickly explained.
"But I don't know how to dance..." Zhou Lin had never been to a disco before, and she felt both curious and scared about the new world inside.
"It doesn't matter if you can't dance, you will learn it soon if you just watch from the side. This is a place that my friend and I invested in and rented, it's quite popular. Boss Ye, now that you're here, you can't leave." Zhao Ziming could see that Ye Li didn't want to go in, but he had to let Ye Li in to visit tonight, otherwise his plan would not be able to be implemented.
"Let's go, it's very safe inside. They are all our people." Boss Zhao invited again and again enthusiastically. Seeing this, Ye Li raised his leg and stepped onto the stairs.
Zhou Lin followed closely behind Ye Li, with Nie Fan and Qian Zhi following behind.
As soon as they entered the dance hall, the deafening sound of music violently hit Ye Li and the others' eardrums. The wide dance floor was illuminated by colorful lights, making it sexy and dreamy.
Countless young people twisted their bodies to the beat of the music, dancing the cha-cha, wearing floral shirts, bell-bottom pants, and big hair, all of which are the most popular fashion elements at the moment.
Here you don’t need to care about other people’s eyes, just release your own light.
As soon as Zhao Ziming entered the dance floor, he invited Ye Li to come down and dance with him. Ye Li smiled at Zhao Ziming and waved her hand to refuse. She didn't like dancing. Zhao Ziming persuaded her a few more times, but Ye Li still didn't leave the dance floor. In the end, Zhao Ziming had to come up from the dance floor and found two seats with Ye Li.
On the other hand, Zhou Lin, Qian Zhi and Nie Fan, after looking at each other for a few seconds, entered the dance floor and started partying.
"Boss Ye, have some soda." Zhao Ziming took two bottles of soda from the front desk and handed one to Ye Li.
"Thank you." Ye Li opened the soda, took a sip and began to look around the dance hall.
"Boss Ye, how is my business? It's pretty good, right?" Zhao Ziming asked when he saw Ye Li observing the situation in the dance hall.
"Yeah, there are a lot of people. How much do you charge here?"
Seeing that Ye Li had hit the nail on the head, Zhao Ziming began to introduce the operation of the dance hall in detail.
"The entrance fee is 10 yuan per person, and drinks are free. You can see that I can have at least 200 to 300 people a night. If we calculate based on 200 people, the gross income is 2,000 yuan a day. After deducting the cost, there will be 1,500 yuan left. With this calculation, the annual income should be at least 500,000 yuan. Not bad, right?"
After Boss Zhao finished speaking, Ye Li nodded thoughtfully.
"Multi-faceted development is popular nowadays. I am not only engaged in export trade, but also run a dance hall. It feels so good to earn extra money! Boss Ye, do you want to join me? I can give you a share." Zhao Ziming said and proposed that Ye Li also join the management of the dance hall.
