Guo Dongyun smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you seem to be very confident in China's economic development?"
Li He said without hesitation, "Not just confident, but certain that China will definitely surpass America and become the world's largest manufacturing country."
The people at the table laughed. Surpass America?
That was a joke.
Perhaps it could become the best joke of the year!
Shi Weilian slowly hid his smile and said, "Mr. Li, may I ask, where do you get your confidence from?"
"It's just my opinion." There was no need for Li He to argue about this topic. In the end, no one would be able to convince the other party.
He couldn't make the other party speechless with his arrogance.
The meal lasted for almost two hours before Guo Dongyun suggested to end it.
Li He looked at the twenty-odd dishes on the table and frowned.
Many of the dishes were basically untouched.
The eight of them had actually ordered more than twenty dishes, and this did not include the pastries and fruits that were served later on. When he brought people out to eat, he usually ordered as much as he could eat and would order more if there wasn't enough. Hence, whenever he hosted a meal, the dishes were usually emptied.
"Waiter, pack it up."
When Li He said that, the waiter was the first to be stunned.
What kind of request was that!
Guo Dongyun was stunned.
Are you serious?!
Shi Weilian laughed at him.
Country bumpkin!
Shen Daoru and Huang Bingxin felt embarrassed!
Boss, you're a tycoon!
The expressions on the others' faces were even more interesting.
The waiter looked at everyone and then said to Li He awkwardly, "Sir, do you mean to take it away?"
She suspected that she had heard wrongly!
Li He asked, "Why?"
"Sir, I'll help you ask for instructions." This was the first time the waiter had encountered such a situation. Those who could dine here were either rich or of high status. They would not hesitate to spend more than a hundred thousand for a meal. Who would take it away!
Li He was like a rare animal in front of him.
Li He asked, "Do I have to ask for instructions? What are you going to do with these untouched dishes and buns? "
The waiter said, "Throw them away!"
Guo Dongyun stood at the side and didn't know how to interrupt. It was also her first time encountering such a situation, and it was in such a high-class restaurant!
She could only say to the waiter, "Then call your manager over."
The waiter went out for a while and called a female manager in.
The woman was in her twenties. She was beautiful and had white teeth. When she saw Guo Dongyun, she hurriedly went forward and said, "Miss Guo, what can I do for you? I was afraid of offending your guests, so I didn't dare to come over and toast you."
Guo Dongyun pointed at the waiter and said, "She didn't tell you?"
"I did, I did." The female manager thought that the waiter had heard wrongly and was spreading rumors. What a joke! As a Goldman Sachs director with a net worth of a few billion, why would he need such a service! Weren't they just making fun of him? So she needed to confirm it again. "Can I put it in a lunchbox?"
Guo Dongyun was very unhappy when she saw the female manager's expression. What kind of expression is that?
Look carefully, it's not me who wants to take him away, it's not me!
She looked at Li He. She had never been so embarrassed before!
Li He said to the female manager, "Sure, as long as it can fit."
A few waiters brought over a pile of lunchboxes. He disliked that they were not neat, so he pointed at them with his hands behind his back. "Hey, that's pig intestines, right? It can't be mixed with mutton. It's easy to smell. "
"That lunchbox can still hold a little. Don't be in such a hurry to close the lid."
"That fish hasn't been touched at all. It's okay if the lunchbox is small. You can just cut the fish in half. It's still food anyway."
"Yes, yes, just like that."
Li He didn't take any of the food that had been touched. He was afraid that it would be contagious. He sighed helplessly in his heart. It was shameful to waste food.
The most awkward people here were Huang Bingxin and Shen Daoru. The two of them could only turn their faces away helplessly. What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over!
The waiter packed it up and piled it up high. Li He was very satisfied and said politely to Guo Dongyun, "Do you want to take it away? You can eat it after heating it up. "
Everyone's eyes were focused on Guo Dongyun. She was shocked and hurriedly waved her hand. "Thank you, thank you. I've been eating too much recently. I can't eat too much."
Li He's gaze swept across the room again. Before he could say anything, everyone understood what he meant and hurriedly shook their heads. How could they have the face to go out with lunchboxes in their hands?!
"Then I won't stand on ceremony?"
Shi Weilian said, "Mr. Li, please help yourself."
"Your Mandarin is not bad."
Li He praised him at the right time.
"Thank you for the compliment. Your English is not bad either. "
Li He went forward and carried a pile of packed lunchboxes. Seeing that Shen Daoru and Huang Bingxin were still in a daze, he said, "What are you standing there for? Carry the rest on the table."
"Ah!" The two of them knew that they couldn't avoid it. After all, this guy was the boss. If he didn't want to work here, he could really do it!
The two of them helplessly carried a stack of lunchboxes in their hands.
When they got off the elevator, they lowered their heads to avoid the strange looks of others.
Taking the elevator down to the underground parking lot, Guo Dongyun stretched out her hand and said, "Mr. Li, see you next time!"
In any case, she decided that she would not easily treat Li He to a meal in the future.
Li He put the lunchboxes on the floor and stretched out his hand as well. "I'll treat you to a meal when you have time! You must do me the honor! "
Her hand was still so soft.
"Of course, of course." Guo Dongyun was already thinking of an excuse to reject him. It would definitely take courage to eat this meal.
Shi Weilian and the others also went forward to shake hands with Li He and bid farewell. Then, the group of them quickly left.
Shen Daoru stopped the car in front of Li He. "Mr. Li, get in the car."
Li He put the lunchboxes in the trunk. When he got in the car and saw the relieved expressions on the two of them, he said unhappily, "Is it embarrassing to pack them? What do you mean by that? "
Shen Daoru said embarrassedly, "No, no. Mr. Li is indeed very diligent and thrifty."
He still didn't have the guts to go against him.
Huang Bingxin also said, "Yes, yes, diligent and thrifty."
Li He grumpily said, "Before I was 18, I had never seen these good dishes on the table. It was already good enough for me to drink a bowl of corn paste. Usually, I would worry about my next meal after eating the previous one. It's a sin to see the shining white grain being wasted, you know? It's not embarrassing to pack them, but it's shameful to waste them! Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. "
Shen Daoru smiled awkwardly as he drove. "After all, there are so many people."
Li He said righteously, "Usually, the reason why we're worried that others will look down on us because of certain things is precisely because we will look down on others through the same thing. Actually, there are many things that aren't shameful. It's just that many people think too highly of themselves and think too highly of themselves, which is why they feel embarrassed. Is face very important? As for how others look at me, I can't turn into braised pork or pig intestines. Let them look at me. "
