Chapter 962 The Whole Situation
Zhang Heng could understand why Xu Qian stood up for the girl in a short skirt, because what happened outside the door before probably reminded her of all the grievances she suffered when she was a greeter, and there was probably a similar one among them. Case.
At that time, Xu Qian was most likely like the girl in the short skirt who was pushed, and could only endure it silently, gritting her teeth and swallowing the matter.
Because instead of saying that she spent three thousand credits to buy a passerby to apologize to the girl in a short skirt who was pushed, it would be better to say that she spent her life to apologize to herself.
…………
The girl in a short skirt on the other side quickly brought the menu and said respectfully, "What do you two want to eat? Our store has Cantonese, Sichuan, and Huaiyang cuisine. If you don't like Chinese food..."
As a result, she was interrupted in the middle of her words. Xu Qian said, "Let's have caramelized yam, squirrel mandarin fish, fried yam with snow peas and a pot of fruit tea. Also, tell the guy in the kitchen not to use the mandarin fish that is about to die." Top it up, remove the yam skins, and don’t use leftovers from other guests for fruit tea.”
When the girl in the short skirt heard this, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Have you... ever come to our restaurant to eat before?"
"Oh, I've had a lot of meals here." Xu Qian said.
However, the girl in the short skirt obviously misunderstood her and thought she was an old customer, so she apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've only been here to work for a short time, and I still don't recognize everyone."
Xu Qian had no intention of explaining, so she waved her hand to retreat, and then looked around.
"How is it? Is there any change from before?" Zhang Heng asked.
"There have been some changes, but basically it's still the same." Xu Qian curled her lips and pointed at a stain on the wall, "I still remember this place. Once after closing, I wiped it with disinfectant for an hour and it was still the same. I didn't wipe it clean, so I was scolded by the landlady, and then half a month's salary was deducted. I cried all night over this matter. Another time, a customer ordered the wrong dish, but he didn't admit it, so he was also counted. On my head, and I happened to have to pay the rent that day..."
Revisiting her old place also made Xu Qian reminisce about the dark days in her life.
"No wonder you haven't been willing to come back." Zhang Heng said as he took two pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick box and rinsed them in a tea cup.
Xu Qian sat up straight, "So, you brought me back here just to hear me talk about my tragic past?"
"Well, I really want to know more about your past." Zhang Heng said, handing a pair of rinsed chopsticks to Xu Qian.
At this time, the girl in the short skirt also brought the caramelized yam and fruit tea first, and also quickly gave Zhang Heng a new cup of tea.
"Then you can just ask me directly, so we don't have to go all the way to the first floor."
Zhang Heng was noncommittal upon hearing this, but instead asked, "Really? Then how much do you trust your memory?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Qian raised her eyebrows, "I don't deny that as time goes by, human memory will change. Some good memories will be further beautified, and bad memories may become worse. Some details may also change. There may be deviations, but... it's generally believable. Otherwise, why would we still remember it?
Xu Qian seemed to have thought of something when she said this. She paused and continued, "Oh, I'm sorry. I know you must have been suffering during this period. I don't know which memories are real and which are fabricated. If this If this situation happened to me, I might have collapsed."
"Really? I'm not that serious."
While the two were chatting, the girl in the short skirt also brought out Xu Qian's dishes one after another. When the last plate of squirrel mandarin fish was also served, the boss who was cooking in the back kitchen also walked out and put on his apron. Shang wiped his hands and said with a smile, "I heard that an old customer is coming over. I have to say hello."
As he spoke, he walked to the table of Xu Qian and Zhang Heng, but was stunned when he saw the two of them.
Zhang Heng didn't say anything, he just picked up a piece of shredded sweet potato and put it in his mouth, as if it had nothing to do with him.
The corners of Xu Qian's mouth raised, revealing a sneer, "Why, didn't you expect that I would come back?"
"You are..." The boss seemed a little at a loss.
So Xu Qian simply took off her sunglasses and said, "Now, you don't need me to introduce myself anymore."
As a result, the confusion on the boss's face became even more serious, and then he said with a smile, "If it's not troublesome, it would be better if you introduce me."
"Are you so old that you are so forgetful that you don't even remember me?" Xu Qian snorted.
"Should I... remember you?"
The dispute between the two also attracted the attention of the proprietress at the counter. The latter looked at this side with a suspicious expression, which made the boss even more panicked. He smiled bitterly and said, "Miss, please don't talk nonsense. This is really my first time seeing you."
"Interesting, then who suggested to me before that as long as I am willing to sleep with him, I can do half the work in the store."
The boss's hair stood up all over his body when he heard this, especially when he felt that the gaze from the counter was getting worse and worse. He became anxious and quickly explained, "I'm just the owner of a small restaurant, and I don't have much ability. I usually just say a few words to the receptionist in the restaurant. Where do I have the courage to say such things to you? Besides, I don’t think you are on the first level, and I can’t reach you. ah."
In the end, it was okay that he didn't say anything. As soon as he opened his mouth, the landlady on the other side was completely shocked and said angrily, "Okay, I saw you flirting with those two little guys before, and you are really cheating on me without telling me." Yes or no."
"No, no, it's just rhetoric." The boss also knew that he had spilled the beans, so he quickly defended himself.
But now the boss lady has gone crazy. Of course, she still has some discernment. It’s not easy to see how Xu Qian is dressed. She also has a male companion who doesn’t dare to vent her anger on her. And to be honest, it’s like what the boss said before. She said that the landlady herself did not believe that the boss would dare to provoke a woman of this level. Unless Xu Qian was blind, there was no reason for the boss to take advantage.
In the end, it was the girl in the short skirt who was standing aside who suffered. The proprietress threw a tea cup at her. Although it did not hit her, the flying porcelain shards shocked her and she shrank in the corner. She was shivering, but the proprietress still didn't intend to let her go. She rushed over to grab her hair, and the whole small restaurant became a panic.
