Chapter 729: Tricking Him Wang Hong looked at the situation and felt even more uneasy, so he walked in front despite himself.
Liu Xiaohua came forward enthusiastically and said, "Welcome, classmates. How many people are there?"
Seeing this huge group of students, she was stunned for a moment.
Wang Hong was about to make arrangements, but Liu Xiaohua looked past him and saw Lu Qingyang in the crowd. She subconsciously greeted him, "Lu..."
Lu Qingyang shook his head and gave him a look.
Liu Xiaohua was smart and immediately swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue. Her expression returned to normal, but her attitude was obviously more considerate. She said to Wang Hong:
"Student, there are many of you. Please follow me to the big table inside."
Wang Hong was completely unaware of this and was still feeling the pain of his impending heavy bleeding as he directed his classmates to take their seats.
Regardless of these, the students happily ordered the signature dishes, and the atmosphere was lively.
Zhou Zhe looked at Wang Hong's embarrassed look and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Lu Qingyang, Zhou Zhe and Zhao Rui naturally sat at the same table.
Lu Qingyang picked up the menu and flipped through it seriously, nodding slightly and saying to Zhou Zhe and Zhao Rui beside him, "The dishes look good, with quite a lot of variety."
Zhou Zhe tried hard to hold back his laughter and nodded in agreement: "Yeah, Brother Lu, look at this braised pork, it looks delicious in the picture."
Although Zhao Rui didn't know as much as Zhou Zhe, he was smart. Seeing Lu Qingyang and Zhou Zhe's posture, he immediately got into the mood and pointed at the blueberry yam on the menu and said, "This looks delicious. Shall we order one?"
After ordering, while waiting for the food to be served, Lu Qingyang looked around at the bright and clean environment and exclaimed in a voice that was just loud enough for the students at the next table to hear, "This place is so clean. The owner must be a very particular person."
Zhou Zhe quickly lowered his head to drink his tea, fearing that he would laugh out loud.
Zhao Ruixiao bit his lip and shrugged his shoulders slightly.
When the delicious dishes were served, Lu Qingyang picked up a piece of the signature braised pork with chopsticks and tasted it carefully. His eyes lit up: "Hmm, it tastes really good, fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, and cooked to the perfect temperature! It seems that everyone's recommendation was right. Let's come here often in the future."
Zhou Zhe picked up a piece of stir-fried seasonal vegetables with chopsticks, chewed it, and commented seriously: "The vegetables are fried crispy and the color is beautiful. The amount of oil used is just right. It's very good."
Zhao Rui ate the rice in his bowl and agreed vaguely, "Yes, this rice smells good."
The three of them sang in unison, just like new customers conquered by the delicious food, and their performance was seamless.
The students at the next table heard their conversation and nodded.
Only Zhou Zhe, who knew Lu Qingyang well, gave him a thumbs-up under the table and mouthed silently, "Brother Lu, that's great, really great."
At this time, a female classmate tasted the exquisitely shaped and refreshing blueberry yam and couldn't help but exclaim: "This dish is so delicious! It's delicate and feels very healthy. The yam is sticky and paired with the blueberry sauce, it's sour and sweet, not greasy at all."
Several girls nearby echoed the sentiment, obviously liking this dish very much.
Wang Hong listened to everyone's praise and watched the dishes quickly disappear. He felt a pang of anger welling up inside him, but on the surface he had to maintain his demeanor as a host and forced a smile to agree:
"If it's delicious, eat more. You're welcome..."
With every word he spoke, he felt his wallet shrink a little.
He actually didn't have much of an appetite, and he was calculating that this meal would cost him several months' pocket money.
Feeling depressed, he casually scooped up a bowl of ordinary mushroom soup and drank it absentmindedly.
However, just as the soup was about to sip, Wang Hong suddenly stopped.
He subconsciously took a big sip, savoring it carefully. His eyes lit up involuntarily, and the forced calm and painful expression on his face could no longer be maintained. He blurted out: "This soup... this soup tastes so delicious!"
"Really? Wang Hong, do you think this soup is delicious?" a classmate said, "I just had a bowl and I want another one!"
"The dishes at Xinweiju are so unexpected!"
Everyone finished the sumptuous dinner with great satisfaction and dispersed in groups of three or five, still praising the delicious food of Xinweiju.
Wang Hong looked at the empty plate and his shrunken wallet, feeling as if a piece of his heart was being ripped out. Without even saying goodbye, he walked away dejectedly.
When all the students had left, the only ones left in the restaurant were the waiters cleaning the tables.
Zhou Zhe finally couldn't help but said to Lu Qingyang: "Brother Lu, you are really amazing. Not only did you offend him, but you also earned his money."
“If you don’t make money, you’ll lose money.”
Zhao Rui on the side was still busy talking to Liu Xiaohua.
…
On the second day, Lu Qingyang decided to donate the TV to the school.
In the office, he said to several surprised teachers, "Teacher, this TV set was assembled by my classmate Zhou Zhe and I in our spare time, combining the knowledge we learned.
We felt that it would be more useful if it stayed in the school, in the physics lab or in the activity room, than in our own hands.
It can not only serve as a teaching aid for students to understand the principles of radio and television, but also enrich their extracurricular life, so we decided to donate it to the school."
The teachers in the Physics Teaching and Research Department were naturally overjoyed. They shook hands with Lu Qingyang and Zhou Zhe and thanked them repeatedly, praising them for not only their strong hands-on skills but also their higher ideological awareness, and saying that they were role models for all students.
As soon as the bell rang, the temporary "TV corner" next to the physics laboratory immediately became the most lively place in the school.
"Look, look! That person is coming out!"
"Louder, louder!"
"Don't push, don't push, I can't see!"
The classmates surrounded him in three layers inside and outside. Those at the back stood on tiptoe and leaned sideways, trying hard to catch a glimpse of his image through the gaps between the people.
Some students even brought their own stools and stood on them to watch.
Whenever there was a funny scene in the show, the crowd would burst into laughter.
Beijing can receive several channels, so Lu Qingyang decided to buy a color TV for his family.
Of course, this time he didn't need to go through so much trouble. He directly exchanged one from the space.
When he returned home with this well-packaged "big item", it caused quite a stir.
"Qingyang, this...what is this?" Ding Panyun asked in surprise as he looked at the big box that his son had brought in with great effort.
Shen Moxiao came out from the inner room upon hearing the sound and looked at it curiously.
"Mom, Xiaomo, I'm buying a big new item for our home." Lu Qingyang smiled and began to unpack it. "A color TV."
Even the knowledgeable Ding Panyun couldn't help but take a breath.
Shen Mo opened her eyes wide, she had only heard of color TVs in newspapers and other people's discussions, she didn't expect them to appear in her own home so soon!
"Where did you get this?" Ding Panyun's first reaction was the difficulty involved.
Lu Qingyang made up an excuse casually: "I helped the Agricultural Science Academy and Engineer Liu so much, this is a reward they gave to our family through internal channels."
