Chapter 35: Rare Steak and a Rare Dog
The sarcastic words from the man at the next table immediately made Ye Ningyu blush.
She immediately lowered her head in embarrassment and whispered, "Yes, I'm sorry... I've never eaten steak before, and I don't know that there is no such thing as medium-rare steak..."
"But, but, we don't steal money from mom and dad to eat!"
Xiao Ye was frightened by the man at the next table and was a little overwhelmed.
She was shy to begin with, so she subconsciously shrank back.
Seeing this, Xia Tian turned his head and looked at the man.
His eyes became extremely cold.
Cao Mingzhi smiled contemptuously: "Little boy, don't look at me like that. At your age, you should study hard, don't pretend to be rich and bring your girlfriend to such a high-end place."
"Steak... no medium rare."
The man's name is Cao Mingzhi. While he was saying this,
He even straightened his tie ostentatiously, looking very superior.
His eyes were full of contempt for Xia Tian and Ye Ningyu.
Xiao Ye was anxious when outsiders misunderstood his relationship with Xia Tian, and he hurried to explain.
"Uncle, you misunderstood! We are not lovers, I am just his deskmate..."
"Haha, little girl, how can the two of you come to a place like this to eat? You are just table mates, right?"
Xiao Ye Zi had never dealt with such a situation before.
This was obviously not what Cao Mingzhi said, but she just didn't know how to refute it.
My eyes turned red and I was so anxious that tears were about to come out.
At this time, Xia Tian pulled her hand and shook his head slightly at her.
Then, he looked at Cao Mingzhi with cold eyes.
"Haven't you ever seen a rare steak? What a coincidence! Today is also the first time I've seen a dog as friendly as you."
"What? You called me a dog, little brat? Do you dare to say it again? I will smash your mouth!"
Cao Mingzhi obviously didn't expect Xia Tian to dare to talk back.
He slammed the table angrily and stood up suddenly.
But Xia Tian didn't tolerate him and stood up suddenly.
He is 1.83 meters tall, half a head taller than Cao Mingzhi.
This scared Cao Mingzhi quite a bit.
Did today's high school students grow up eating Ultraman?
So high? !
After weighing it over, Cao Mingzhi felt that he might not be a match for this high school student in a fight.
He immediately started to mock again: "Your school uniform is from Bei'an No. 1 Middle School, right? It is said that the students there are well-behaved and have good academic performance. How could a scum like you get in?"
If you don't study hard, you will end up being a street sweeper in the future. If you want to eat here again then, you’ll probably have to wait until your next life. Unlike me who is successful in my career and can't just come here to eat casually. ”
Cao Mingzhi straightened his collar.
When he said this, he looked at his female companion very confidently: "Minmin, am I right?"
The woman named Minmin nodded and looked at Cao Mingzhi with admiration.
This look made Cao Mingzhi feel particularly satisfied, as if he was pretending to be very handsome.
But Xia Tian immediately gave him a look of contempt.
"Uncle, stop bragging. If I'm not mistaken, you're just a worker moving bricks at the construction site, right?"
Cao Mingzhi's face changed immediately and he cursed: "Bullshit! I'm the company manager!"
"Really? Do you have to rent all the formal clothes that company managers wear? Except for your shoes, everything else in your outfit is rented, right?"
"What makes you say I rented it? This suit alone cost me 2899, which is more than your parents' monthly salary!"
Xia Tian curled her lips and pointed at the left hem of Cao Mingzhi's clothes: "Uncle, the tag on your clothes is exposed, and you still say it's not rented?"
When Cao Mingzhi heard this, he was so scared that he quickly looked to the left.
But he found out that nothing was revealed, and he immediately got furious: "You lied to me?!"
As a result, Xia Tian burst out laughing and pointed again at the lower right corner of Cao Mingzhi's clothes.
"Sorry uncle, I saw it wrong, it's on your right."
Cao Mingzhi was stunned and looked down again.
Sure enough, he found a tag on the right hem of his clothes, and then he realized that Xia Tian had tricked him.
The suit he rented was a little short to begin with.
But as long as you don't make drastic movements, there will generally be no problem.
But just now Xia Tian deliberately tricked him into looking to the left, so when his body tilted, the tag on the right was immediately exposed.
In order not to embarrass himself in front of his goddess, Cao Mingzhi hurriedly explained:
"I just bought this new suit, and I haven't had time to cut off the tag yet. Have you watched too many TV dramas? Do you really think that a suit with a tag means it's rented? Minmin, don't listen to this kid's bullshit!"
Xia Tian looked at him with a half-smile: "Really? If you really bought this suit, it's not too late to cut off the tag now. Prove to me that it's yours, and I'll shut up immediately."
Cao Mingzhi was stunned.
For a moment I didn’t know how to respond.
He didn't buy the suit, he rented it for a hundred dollars.
If you really cut the tag off, you will have to spend money to buy it back!
This set...will cost him a whole month's salary!
Before Cao Mingzhi could figure out how to answer, Xia Tian continued to expose his identity:
"Uncle, aren't you the company manager? Why are there cement and sand on the edges of your shoes?"
"I'm the supervisor of a construction company. I have to inspect the work when I have nothing to do. Isn't it normal to have sand and cement?"
"Oh... so, do supervisors have to move bricks frequently? Look at the calluses on your hands and the sand between your fingernails. It turns out that your company's supervision business is so extensive!"
Xia Tian smiled and thought to himself: Are you sweating all over, brother?
Cao Mingzhi was completely dumbfounded.
I was thinking, is this guy Detective Conan?
These are all small details, and he caught them all?
Suddenly, Cao Mingzhi broke out in a cold sweat.
In order not to expose the fact that he was just a bricklayer, he thought of an excuse again in desperation.
"This morning I went to the construction site to inspect the work. A worker was injured and I helped him shovel a truckload of sand!"
“As a supervisor, I feel it is necessary to establish a good image for my workers.”
After saying this, Cao Mingzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He straightened up confidently again.
This excuse is absolutely perfect and impeccable!
Damn it, you, a young boy, want to expose my identity?
It’s still too tender!
He couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up for his wit.
But this time, before Xia Tian could speak, Min Min suddenly stood up, looking deceived:
"Cao Mingzhi! You didn't reply to my message this morning. At noon, you told me that you were busy discussing business with other CEOs in the conference room. How come you are now inspecting the work at the construction site?!"
"Tell me, are you lying to me? And what about the tags on the clothes?"
“I…I…”
Xia Tian almost burst out laughing.
He was originally thinking about how to expose Cao Mingzhi's last fig leaf, but he didn't expect that he would be exposed himself.
Xia Tian held back his smile and lit up the last flame: "Beautiful sister, I guess your boyfriend moved all the bricks for today in one go in order to take a leave in the afternoon, so he didn't have time to reply to your message."
Minmin's expression changed immediately: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not his girlfriend!"
Then, he angrily picked up the red wine and poured it on Cao Mingzhi's face.
"Cao Mingzhi! You are just a toad, and you actually want to eat swan meat? Why don't you take a piss and look at your own species!"
"If you don't have the ability to pretend to be rich, you are just a poor loser, go to hell!"
After saying that, Minmin picked up the bag on the chair and left the "Sunday Eight" Western Restaurant in her high heels.
Cao Mingzhi was stunned and hurriedly shouted: "Minmin, don't leave, listen to my explanation..."
“Bang!”
Minmin turned around and slapped Cao Mingzhi in the face with her backhand, the sound was particularly loud.
It immediately attracted the attention of the entire western restaurant.
Then, Minmin left the restaurant without looking back.
Cao Mingzhi wanted to chase after him, but was immediately stopped by the waiter.
"Sir, you can't leave. You haven't paid yet."
"I'm so...."
Cao Mingzhi's face flushed red, and he pointed at Xia Tian's nose and cursed: "Are you looking for death? Which class are you from? What's your name? I want to find your principal... I'm going to kill you!"
Xia Tian chuckled twice and turned to look at the waiter:
"Is the environment of your western restaurant so bad? Can people of his quality eat here? If so, I will complain."
When the waiter heard the word "complaint", his heart trembled.
Their boss is a foreigner and pays great attention to the reputation of his store.
If this high school student really complains to the big boss, these waiters will be in trouble.
Immediately, several waiters stopped Cao Mingzhi and said in a cold tone:
"Sir, please pay the bill and leave our restaurant immediately. You have seriously affected the dining of other customers in the restaurant."
"Get the hell out of here! I'm going to kill that guy!"
Cao Mingzhi's eyes turned red with anger.
He finally got the goddess out on a date and spent half a month's salary on the date.
I didn't expect that Xia Tian's plan would be ruined by just a few words.
How could he let Xia Tian go?
However, several waiters looked at each other intently.
They surrounded Cao Mingzhi, lifted his arms and threw him out of the restaurant, and forced him to pay the bill immediately.
Cao Mingzhi's face turned red with anger, but he had to pay for the meal.
He stared at Xia Tian angrily through the glass window, wishing he could stab him to death with a knife immediately.
Xia Tian sneered and gave him a middle finger.
Cao Mingzhi was silently furious, but was sent far away by the waiter who came out of the restaurant to prevent passers-by from thinking that this place was seedy.
Wait until everything calms down.
A man in formal attire came up to Xia Tian and Ye Ningyu, looking apologetic:
"Sir, Miss, I'm so sorry to have disturbed your meal..."
"I'm the manager of the restaurant. I'm personally waiving the cost of your meal. I hope you won't have a bad impression of our Monday Eight Western Restaurant because of this."
As a veteran who had been in the business world for many years in his previous life, how could Xia Tian not understand the manager's hidden meaning?
What the manager meant was: Hey, little brother, we will waive the cost of the meal for you and your girlfriend, but you can't complain to your superiors anymore, so don't make things difficult for me.
Xia Tian smiled knowingly: "Haha, thank you, manager. The service attitude here is really good. I will come again next time."
The manager's mouth twitched, thinking, "You kid, don't come here..."
But he still smiled politely at Xia Tian: "Okay, then you two continue to eat, I won't disturb you."
After the manager left, Xia Tian turned around and looked at Ye Ningyu tenderly.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoye. Don't pay attention to what that guy says."
"He's just a show-off who wants to show off in front of the goddess. Let's eat quickly, it's getting cold!"
