PDLP Chapter 16 Barbecue
Chapter 16 Barbecue
Seeing the fist coming at him, Su Jie didn't dodge; instead, he found it somewhat amusing.
He usually only had contact with Shen Ruoxuan through work, and he never expected that she would have such a lively and cute side.
"ha--"
"Bang—"
Shen Ruoxuan landed a hard punch on the man, then gave a satisfied snort. "You got me fired, now we're even!"
With a slightly dirty hem, Su Jie rolled his eyes. "If I were to find a job that only pays 2,600 a month, I'd just kill myself!"
"You only make six thousand yuan a month, don't you?"
Shen Ruoxuan was somewhat embarrassed and angry, "What's so great about that?"
"Once I find a new job, I'll definitely earn more than you!"
"Ha ha--"
Seeing the girl's wildness, Su Jie couldn't help but laugh. "What do you want to eat? I'll treat you."
Shen Ruoxuan had already made up her mind: "I want to eat at Haidilao."
Su Jie shook his head. "I just ate that yesterday. Let's have something else."
Shen Ruoxuan thought for a moment, "Then let's have barbecue. I haven't had barbecue in ages!"
Su Jie walked towards the BaWangChaJi restaurant across the street. "I promised to treat you to milk tea. Let's go buy a milk tea first, and then we'll go eat barbecue."
Shen Ruoxuan followed behind, saying, "I thought you'd forgotten!"
"How could I forget?"
Su Jie laughed and said, "I just received so many messages yesterday that I didn't mention it. I was thinking of inviting you in a few days."
"well--"
Shen Ruoxuan sighed, "I just whispered something to you, and you fired me!"
"That bastard Liu Zhiyuan is such a petty scoundrel!"
"They're even more petty than us girls!"
"Ha ha--"
"Insulting someone without mentioning their mother is like scraping their skin—it hurts like a painful massage!"
Su Jie laughed, "Your insults are weak, they don't really hurt, not as good as the two people I hired!"
"Those two middle-aged women were really aggressive yesterday; they really got Fatty Liu angry."
Shen Ruoxuan shook her head. "I admit defeat and dare not be his enemy."
"I didn't know you left yesterday, but the whole company is talking about you behind your back."
"You're awesome!"
"That bunch of fat Liu and his gang made a mess of the factory, they deserve to be scolded!"
Growing more and more excited as she talked, Shen Ruoxuan asked curiously, "How did you come up with this idea?"
"They hired two incredibly foul-mouthed middle-aged women to block Fatty Liu and yell at him, and then they also hired a terminally ill middle-aged woman to block the door?"
"Once this move is used, no one dares to move; even calling the police won't help."
"If he had actually bumped into that old lady and she had fallen to the ground, Liu Zhiyuan's grandson would have been skinned alive."
While ordering food via QR code, Su Jie laughed and said, "I've been working diligently at the factory, often taking the blame, and I've had enough for a while now. Naturally, I want to find an opportunity to teach Fatty Liu a lesson."
"Your method is good, but there are still risks."
Shen Ruoxuan pouted, "If that old lady really falls to the ground, you won't be able to escape responsibility either."
"Do you really think I'm stupid?"
Su Jie smiled and revealed the truth: "That old lady just had a perforated stomach and was discharged from the hospital. She doesn't have a terminal illness that's not going to last long."
Shen Ruoxuan looked at the man with a hint of admiration in her eyes, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "You're really awesome!"
Holding a cup of milk tea, Su Jie glanced at his Meituan app on his phone and casually asked, "How's your appetite?"
Shen Ruoxuan nodded. "My appetite is pretty good, it's quite good."
Su Jie tapped his fingers repeatedly, "Then I'll order a meal for three to four people."
"Three hundred and seventy-eight yuan?"
"So expensive?"
Shen Ruoxuan craned her neck to take a look, "Let's go eat at the buffet!"
Su Jie said, "The meat at the all-you-can-eat barbecue isn't very fresh, so let's eat something better today."
"Let me remind you."
A hint of wariness flashed in Shen Ruoxuan's eyes. "Even if you treat me to something delicious, I won't be your girlfriend."
"Do you want some or not?"
Su Jie, too lazy to explain, walked towards a barbecue restaurant not far away. "If you're not going to eat, are you taking the subway back right now?"
"You got me fired, so I might as well eat it."
Shen Ruoxuan quickly caught up, "I've already told you, you're destined to waste your money on me."
"If you feel bad about it..."
Su Jie said, "I'm going shopping later to buy a gift for my mom. Can you help me take a look?"
Shen Ruoxuan readily nodded, "No problem, I'll take care of it."
The barbecue restaurant, specializing in beef, was right next to his hotel and looked quite nice.
Su Jie only remembered it when the group-buying package arrived.
The hotel actually has a buffet, which looks pretty good.
It costs 268 yuan per person and includes lobster, hairy crab, caviar, and various barbecue items of decent quality.
Forget it.
No need to worry about it.
Since you want to eat it, let's go eat it tonight.
Looking at the table full of food, Shen Ruoxuan took out her phone and snapped a picture. "Isn't this too much?"
Su Jie shook his head. "I didn't eat breakfast this morning, not much."
"whee--"
Shen Ruoxuan covered her mouth and laughed, "I didn't eat breakfast either."
Su Jie smiled and invited, "Then let's start eating, please don't be shy."
"I won't hold back."
Shen Ruoxuan placed the snowflake beef on the grill. "I came to see you today to complain; it was my first job!"
Smelling the aroma of the oil, Su Jie laughed and said, "Then let's turn our grief and anger into our appetite."
Shen Ruoxuan smiled and held up her milk tea. "Thank you for treating me to this big meal!"
Picking up his milk tea, Su Jie lightly touched the girl's hand. "Don't be so polite with me, we're all friends."
The beef was quickly grilled, and Shen Ruoxuan cut it into several small pieces with scissors, dipped it in the seasoning, and then happily put it into her mouth to chew.
A moment later, she opened her eyes. "There's a reason it's expensive. This snowflake beef is so delicious!"
"If it's delicious, eat more."
Su Jie also picked up a piece, saying, "Otherwise, those people who promised to be your slaves in their past lives to repay you would have no reason to be reincarnated in this life."
"Pfft—"
"Hahaha--"
Shen Ruoxuan couldn't help but burst out laughing, "You weren't this funny before?"
Su Jie laughed and said, "Work is work, and life is life."
"Work is too miserable."
Shen Ruoxuan nodded in agreement, "These past few months of working have treated me, a college graduate, like a beast!"
Su Jie asked with a smile, "These days, who isn't a college student, and who isn't a beast of burden?"
"well--"
Shen Ruoxuan shook her head. "It's too difficult."
"Stop sighing."
Su Jie laughed and said, "If you're unhappy with your first job, then adjust your mindset and prepare to find a second one."
"You resigned too."
Shen Ruoxuan picked up another piece of beef and put it in her mouth. "What are you going to do?"
Su Jie revealed his plans: "I'm going to book a tour group later and go to Jiuzhaigou the day after tomorrow to relax and unwind."
When the topic of travel comes up, Shen Ruoxuan gets excited. "I also want to travel to Jiuzhaigou, but I plan to go in October when the scenery is at its best."
"Jiuzhaigou has its own unique scenery in every season."
Su Jie laughed and said, "It's been a year since I graduated from university, it's time for me to take a spontaneous trip!"
"A trip that you can just take on a whim?"
Shen Ruoxuan was eager to try it out, "I really want to take a spontaneous trip too!"
Su Jie glanced at the girl. "Since you're also unemployed, do you want to come along?"
