Chapter 9

1450 Words
Although Jiang Sichen only likes girls, she has never met a man as good as Manager Wu. He is two years older than her, likes anime and games, and will go to comic exhibitions when they are available. He is especially good at chatting. Chatting with him really makes people feel like being in the spring breeze and feeling particularly comfortable. He is considerate and gentle, and it is hard for girls not to be moved when they meet him. "How come Manager Wu is still single? I think a guy like you should be very popular." "I haven't met the right one yet, otaku, you know, we have different hobbies and can't talk to each other." I don't know if it's my illusion, Jiang Sichen always feels that Manager Wu seems to be saying that they are a good match, but she really only has friendship for boys. To avoid misunderstanding, Jiang Sichen quickly said, "My home is not far away, you can just stop at the intersection in front~" "What? Is there anything? I wanted to treat you to dinner, and it's not easy to meet someone I can talk to." To be honest, it's rare for Jiang Sichen to meet someone who is so comfortable and easy to talk to in real life, and who doesn't dislike her appearance. Although Jiang Sichen also understands that Manager Wu is probably doing this for the purpose of maintaining "big customers", Jiang Sichen, who has always been despised, is really hard to refuse such high-level treatment. "I also think we can get along well, but... I have important work tomorrow morning, so I have to go back early to prepare..." Jiang Sichen didn't know how to explain so as not to be too embarrassed. Manager Wu was very considerate and joked, "It's okay, work is important. I didn't expect you really love this industry. I don't understand, but I think it's quite fun. Can you build a Gundam yourself in the future?" "Haha, it has a one-in-ten-thousandth relevance to Gundam." "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Let's talk again when I'm free. Bye~" "Bye." Looking at the car driving away, Jiang Sichen felt a little complicated. She always felt that she had won a big prize. It was not just a matter of money. It was possible that her life would change because of it. As for whether it would get better or worse, she didn't know at the moment, but she always felt a little uneasy. She didn't know if she could handle such a great fortune. On the way home, Jiang Sichen went to a barbecue restaurant that she had always longed for. She had been there before when Chu Yu treated her to a meal, and the taste had always been in her mind. Although she would occasionally come here to eat alone after getting her salary, the price was really too expensive, so she only dared to order two plates of the signature beef. The portions were quite small. Two plates of beef plus some vegetables and side dishes could have been used to buy several meals at an ordinary barbecue restaurant, but she still couldn't be full. This time, Jiang Sichen could finally eat freely and boldly. When she entered the door, she felt that her back seemed to be two points straighter than usual. When ordering, she finally didn't have to pick and choose for fear of exceeding the budget. Jiang Sichen flipped through the menu and ordered everything she had wanted to try but had never ordered before. The waiter kindly reminded her that she ordered a lot and was afraid that she couldn't finish it. Jiang Sichen actually wanted to say that she could finish it, but she changed her words to, "It's okay, I can take it away." The waiter smiled and said nothing more. He confirmed the dishes and then placed the order. The reason why this restaurant is so expensive is that in addition to the high-quality meat, the decoration inside the store and the attitude of the service staff are also excellent. Even if Jiang Sichen came alone, he did not neglect her. While waiting, he would add tea for her, and then ask her how the temperature was, and whether she needed to lower the temperature of the air conditioner near her. Although Jiang Sichen has a slight social phobia, the gentle smile of the service staff seemed to relieve some of her tension. In fact, Jiang Sichen is not really socially phobic, she just doesn't know how to communicate with strangers. She only likes to talk about topics that interest her, which often causes a cold atmosphere, so she is often not very talkative in an unfamiliar environment. The dishes were brought up one by one, neatly placed on the table and on the cart. The waiter helped her set up the grill, put the meat on the grill in rows, and helped her turn it over. But Jiang Sichen actually didn't like to let strangers help grill meat like this. She always felt that she was being stared at while eating, which was very uncomfortable. But before she could open her mouth, the waiter took the initiative to put the roasted meat on the plate in front of her, "You eat first, I will help you roast it later. If you need anything, you can call me at any time." "Oh, okay, thank you." "You're welcome~" After the waiter left, Jiang Sichen breathed a sigh of relief, and then tasted the roasted beef that was just done. It was still as delicious as before. She picked up another kind of beef. Even without the sauce, the tender taste of the beef itself was very delicious. This kind is more expensive. She usually doesn't want to order it when she comes. Only when Chu Yu treated her, she had two pieces. This time, she can finally enjoy all the food by herself. Jiang Sichen is happy. Delicious food always makes her feel better. After eating for a while, Jiang Sichen had almost finished what she ordered. The store gave her some freshly squeezed juice, which was cool and sweet. It was not the kind of juice with sugar added. It was drinkable. It was a good variety selected, and the sweetness was just right. But after eating and drinking, she sat back in a comfortable chair, watching people eating in groups of three or four around her, and she was the only one in the store, and she felt lonely for no reason. She wanted to share with others, but she didn't know who to find. Maybe she shouldn't have rejected Manager Wu just now. They were just having a meal and chatting, so it shouldn't be a big deal. When she went to pay the bill, a soft but frightening voice sounded behind her, "Jiang Sichen?" Jiang Sichen shuddered, slowly turned around, and saw the person coming, his voice trembled a little, "Chu... Mr. Chu, what a coincidence~" Chu Yu lifted the hair by his ear, walked to Jiang Sichen's side, and was also ready to pay the bill. He glanced at her and said, "Is this how you maxed out your credit card?" Didn't this person say yesterday that she owed a credit card and couldn't pay it back, so he lent her 1,500 yuan, and now she's spending money lavishly? This person is too unplanned. "No..." Before Jiang Sichen could explain, the waiter handed her the bill, "You spent a total of 897 yuan." Even Chu Yu's eyebrows trembled, as if she looked behind Jiang Sichen to confirm whether she had eaten so much. Jiang Sichen felt that he was really going to die, and he felt that he couldn't explain it clearly, and he didn't dare to explain it. He just took the bill and paid it. "Tomorrow, the money will be returned to you tomorrow..." Jiang Sichen didn't dare to look up at Chu Yu. The friend who had dinner with Chu Yu also came over and asked about the situation. Chu Yu seemed very calm and told Jiang Sichen, "Go back early and don't be late tomorrow. By the way, your home address hasn't been sent to me yet." "Oh, okay." Jiang Sichen fled in a panic with his backpack. How could he be so unlucky? He just borrowed money from Chu Yu, and was caught spending money in a high-end restaurant. Would she think he was cheating money? Although Jiang Sichen wanted to return the money to Chu Yu right now, he checked all his accounts and couldn't make up 1,500 yuan at the moment. This is too miserable.
