Chapter 218: What Can You Compare with Cheng Xuyuan?
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan eating braised beef, Liang Xiaodi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
At this moment, he was feeling so suffocated!
What was his purpose in holding this plate of braised beef? To make the competitor in front of him give up.
Make him feel ashamed!
But now, this person not only ate the delicious braised beef in soy sauce that he bought with big mouthfuls, but also told him with a smile that the meal they were having was treated by Feng Xiaoxia.
I have always wanted to invite Feng Xiaoxia to dinner, but I have never been able to do so.
And this boy in front of him not only chatted and laughed with Feng Xiaoxia, but also asked Feng Xiaoxia to treat him to a meal. If this wasn't showing off, what was he? "You...you..."
Li Yuan felt helpless when he saw his good friend's dark face.
I originally thought I could have a meal of braised beef in soy sauce, but I didn't expect that Liang Xiaodi would bring it to me to show off.
It would have been fine if he just wanted to show off, but he ended up making people really angry.
However, this also made him feel that the young man sitting next to Feng Xiaoxia was also a tough guy.
So he came to Liang Xiaodi's side and advised: "Xiaodi, let's go eat quickly."
Liang Xiaodi was quite reluctant to suffer such a loss.
But continuing the fuss seemed to be of no use other than embarrassing himself in front of Feng Xiaoxia.
So he said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Classmate, can I know your name?"
Cheng Xuyuan responded without even looking up: "No."
"We are not friends. I can't tell you the name just because I eat a piece of your braised beef."
"What's more, you offered to give me this braised beef."
Liang Xiaodi really wanted to hit someone, but was eventually pulled back by his good friend. However, his heart was filled with resentment towards Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan pointed at the braised beef and said, "Xiaoxia, you should eat some too. If I finish it all by myself, this guy will be unhappy with me!"
Feng Xiaoxia chuckled and said, "Who told you to eat other people's food and then insult them?"
With the cooperation of two people, a plate of braised beef with soy sauce can be finished in just three to five minutes.
After finishing her meal, Feng Xiaoxia stood up and wanted to walk to the counter, but Cheng Xuyuan had already taken the lead.
The two men said a few words to the counter and left with a smile.
After Feng Xiaoxia walked away, Liang Xiaodi slammed his palm on the table and said, "Don't let me run into him again, bastard. Otherwise, I will have to teach him a lesson."
Li Yuan and his two companions looked at each other and said nothing.
Although they were more willing to trust their friends, from the confrontation just now, Liang Xiaodi seemed to have no ability to fight back.
Just when the four of them were speechless, a middle-aged woman in a white chef's uniform came over and asked seriously, "What are you doing?"
"Are you dissatisfied with the food in our restaurant?"
"I'm telling you, if you slam the table again, don't blame me for being rude."
Hearing this, Liang Xiaodi became even more annoyed.
Feng Xiaoxia's incident had already made him feel aggrieved, and now a waiter in the cafeteria actually came to scold him just because he slammed the table.
They really don't take him seriously! Just when he was angry and wanted to roar, his arm was grabbed by Li Yuan.
Li Yuan's other hand pointed towards the wall of the cafeteria.
Liang Xiaodi saw a note with black words on a red background on the wall, which stated that customers were not allowed to be beaten or scolded at will.
After seeing these words and looking at the roaring middle-aged woman, Liang Xiaodi's heart suddenly turned cold.
He took a breath and said, "I'm sorry, I was just excited, not because I have a problem with our restaurant."
The middle-aged woman glanced at Liang Xiaodi, especially at his school badge, and finally snorted and said, "That's good."
"Next time you eat here, you'd better be more civilized!"
Watching the middle-aged waiter leave, Li Yuan said, "Just now I was really worried that she would hit us. After all, if she did, it would seem that we would be the ones who would suffer."
After hearing what Li Yuan said, Liang Xiaodi felt uncomfortable but could only keep silent.
Just when the four people were feeling more and more depressed while eating, they saw the middle-aged waitress coming over with a plate.
"What is she doing? Is she trying to apologize to me?" a boy sitting next to Li Yuan guessed.
"I don't think so." Before Li Yuan finished speaking, the plate was already placed on the table.
Braised beef in soy sauce! The waitress placed a plate of braised beef in soy sauce on the table.
"We didn't order braised beef with soy sauce." Liang Xiaodi's voice was a little dry. Although he still had some money, he would really feel bad if he ordered another plate of braised beef with soy sauce.
The waitress snorted and said, "I know you didn't want it."
"The guy who just paid the bill ordered it for you."
"Eat it."
As she spoke, the waitress pointed to the table where Cheng Xuyuan and Feng Xiaoxia were eating.
Looking at the braised beef on the table, Liang Xiaodi was speechless for a moment.
If Cheng Xuyuan had eaten his braised beef just now and felt suffocated in his chest,
Now, the plate of braised beef in soy sauce that Cheng Xuyuan returned to him made him feel like a loud slap in the face.
"Do you want to eat?" Li Yuan hesitated and asked Liang Xiaodi.
Liang Xiaodi wanted to say he didn't want to eat it, but the aroma of the braised beef made him drool.
"Eat!" Liang Xiaodi finally gritted his teeth and picked up a piece of braised beef.
While chewing the beef, Liang Xiaodi said, "Next time I meet him, I will definitely give him more meat."
"He doesn't eat my food, does he? I wonder if he can give me some in return."
Li Yuan and others didn't say anything, they just ate the beef with big mouthfuls.
Just as the four people were eating like whirlwind, several young people wearing Yenching Normal University badges walked in quickly.
One of the young women in her twenties said to Li Yuan, "Li Yuan, have you seen Xu Lingyun?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Xu Lingyun? I... I have something to do today, so I don't have time to watch his lecture."
"You are looking for Xu Lingyun. What are you doing here?"
The young girl said, "A classmate said that he saw Xu Lingyun eating here."
"Having dinner here with Feng Xiaoxia."
When Li Yuan heard the last few words the young girl said, he suddenly reacted.
The man to whom Liang Xiaodi gave the braised beef should be Xu Lingyun.
That person turned out to be Xu Lingyun, this...
At this time, Liang Xiaodi still had a piece of braised beef in soy sauce between his chopsticks. At this moment, his expression kept changing.
He didn't say much to Xu Lingyun, but when he thought about what he had said, his face turned a little pale.
I earned a dozen yuan by helping my teacher translate things, but if Xu Lingyun's novel is published, that would make thousands of yuan!
How can I compare myself with others? Moreover, how will Feng Xiaoxia see me in the future? Just when Liang Xiaodi was feeling upset, Cheng Xuyuan had already waved goodbye to Feng Xiaoxia.
To him, Liang Xiaodi was just an episode in his meal and he didn't take it seriously at all.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's time for summer vacation.
For most students, summer vacation is a time to reunite with their families.
Especially for students like Chen Jianxun who have a salary, having a holiday is a great thing for them.
But there were also some students who not only did not go home, but stayed in school.
The reason they stayed in school was that they had nothing to do when they went home, and if they went home, they would have to spend money to buy round-trip train tickets.
Cheng Xuyuan made up his mind to go home and live for half a month, but before going home, Cheng Xuyuan still had some people he needed to visit.
For example, Mr. Wan! For example, Meng Dezhi! For example...
"Xuyuan, my dad invites you to come home for dinner tonight." Fang Yuqing looked at Cheng Xuyuan, her expression full of reluctance.
She didn't want to part with her loved ones, and she was even willing to go back to Cheng Xuyuan's hometown with him, but her family members disagreed.
Cheng Xuyuan has become accustomed to going to the Fang family for meals.
Although Fang Gengsheng still had a bad face towards him, he was full of curiosity about the future battle situation.
So every time Fang Yuqing went home on weekends, he would be invited to the Fang family for dinner.
However, as Fang Gengsheng's problems became more and more serious, Cheng Xuyuan felt overwhelmed.
"Yuqing, can I not go?" Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile: "Your father's problem is giving me a headache!"
Looking at the smiling Cheng Xuyuan, Fang Yuqing glared and said, "My dad has a mixture of love and hate for you right now."
"It would be good for you to show your face in front of him more often!"
"Let's go, we have some delicious food at home!"
Listening to Fang Yuqing's gentle persuasion, Cheng Xuyuan had no choice but to agree to go to Fang's house for dinner.
He understood Fang Yuqing's thoughts. After all, every girl hoped that the person she chose would have the blessing of her parents.
Fang Yuqing was naturally no exception.
"Okay, I'll go eat this meal and see what problems your father has given me."
Just as Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing were discussing what to bring to Fang's house for dinner, Qin Wenhui was holding Cheng Xuyuan's manuscript fee receipt.
June royalties:
5,400 Hong Kong dollars!
In other words, the royalties paid to Cheng Xuyuan by Tonight News this time were calculated at 45 yuan per thousand words.
If the previous agreement is followed, doesn't it mean that the sales of Jinwanbao have reached 150,000 copies? Because he works in an import and export company, Qin Wenhui is very clear about the current situation of Jinwanbao.
At the peak of Jin Wan Bao's glory, their sales volume did not seem to have reached 150,000 copies, but Cheng Xuyuan's novel has already achieved this number.
"Wenhui, Chief Editor Lin called us specifically and asked us to communicate with Cheng Xuyuan and not to delay this month's manuscript."
"And we are also asked to take good care of Cheng Xuyuan. If there is anything he needs, please try our best to help."
Manager Wang said this, looking at Qin Wenhui and said, "Wenhui, you should have more contact with Cheng Xuyuan. In the future, maybe he can help us a lot."
Qin Wenhui smiled and said, "Manager Wang, don't worry, I will definitely contact Cheng Xuyuan."
While the two were talking, Manager Wang's phone rang. After he answered the call, he said a few words and handed the phone to Qin Wenhui, "Wenhui, your home phone number."
Qin Wenhui was stunned for a moment when he heard the phone call from home. Then he answered the phone and heard Fang Yuning's voice on the other end of the phone: "Wenhui, come to your parents' house for dinner on time tonight. There is good news."
Before Qin Wenhui could ask, the other party hung up the phone.
Good news? What good news! It's the end of the month, and today is the first update. Brothers who have votes, please give some support!
