The dinner party has begun.
There was no dinner party to talk about, so the complicated entrance ceremony was naturally omitted. Khaled, who was wearing a robe and a headscarf, was welcomed in as usual and sat next to Gao Yi's right hand.
Mu Tianwen, the youngest but also specially put on a robe, was asked to sit next to Khaled, and then Teacher Mu, who sat next to Mu Tianwen.
As for Abdullah, he sat on Gao Yi's left hand side.
Huang Haisheng wanted to give Gao Yi a welcome party, but Abdullah's sudden visit disturbed it. For this reason, Danny and the three of them also attended the dinner.
Feng Biao and Huang Haisheng sat aside.
Lucy did not attend because Gao Yi felt that she did not need to attend today's occasion.
It's a pity that you can't drink wine anymore. Mu Tianwen can drink anything when he is alone. It's normal to drink some wheat juice. But when there are more people, he can only drink drinks.
Otherwise, there seems to be nothing else to say. Gao Yi doesn't have the habit of saying something before eating. When everyone is here, just start eating.
"Shall we start now?"
Gao Yi told Huang Haisheng in a questioning tone, because he really didn't understand what the rules were at the dinner table.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Gao Yi has organized such a dinner party. In the past, eating was just eating, but this time, it can be called a dinner party.
Huang Haisheng was speechless. He smiled and said, "Then let's start serving the food. Waiter, serve the food."
There was a waiter in the private room, Huang Haisheng greeted him, and the dishes started to be served.
“Beef with soy sauce.”
"Red flower bamboo shoots."
The cold dishes are two very homely and simple dishes. After the two cold dishes were served, the hot dishes were also served on the table.
"Charred beef slices, vinegar-fried musu, braised oxtail, stir-fried mutton with green onions, this is braised rapeseed with mushrooms, and this is stir-fried shredded lettuce."
Huang Haisheng introduced each dish, and Gao Yi picked up the chopsticks. He smiled at Abdullah and said, "Come on, come on, try our dishes, our specialties."
There was no introduction first, no serious speech first.
Gao Yi really ate this meal in a homely atmosphere.
Abdullah was still waiting for Gao Yi to say something, so that he could complete the task given to him by Sharman when the time was right.
But when I got to the table, I saw that the quality was a bit low. It wasn't that the food was of a low quality, and Abdullah didn't care about it at first, but that the level of accompanying the guests was a bit low.
This is not okay. Abdullah felt slightly uncomfortable because he felt that Gao Yi had been slighted.
This won't work.
Abdullah smiled and picked up the fork.
Middle Eastern people eat with knives, forks and spoons, and some dishes are eaten directly with hands. But today, without exception, all of the dishes on the table can be eaten with a fork.
Abdullah had never eaten anything. As long as it was edible according to the rules, he could not eat anything he wanted.
So Abdullah just ate casually. He had no expectations at all, but he inserted a piece of black and unsightly sauced beef and put it in his mouth. Then a completely different taste from the memory filled the air.
Into the mouth.
Sauced beef is so expensive that it costs dozens of pounds per pound in any store.
But today this soy sauce beef is really expensive. You can’t buy it for dozens of dollars, and you can’t even add zero to it. It’s so expensive.
You can never tire of fine food, and you can never tire of delicate dishes. Just a table of ordinary-looking dishes reflects the standard of food at Dongda University.
"Huh?"
The first sentence is that it can be said because of the food itself. This is the first time for Abdullah.
"What kind of meat is this?"
"Beef, soy sauce beef."
Gao Yi immediately answered Abdullah's question, and Abdullah immediately forked another piece and put it in his mouth, chewed it, and nodded: "Well, it's a bit strange, but it's very good."
Is Middle Eastern food delicious?
In fact, Middle Eastern food is not bad, and it is very delicious, but the problem is that it is a bit monotonous, in other words, there is a little lack of style.
Khald suddenly said: "The food here is very good."
Abdullah nodded to Khald.
Khaled continued: "Some of their barbecues are the same as ours, but some are completely different. There is a barbecue restaurant called..."
Mu Tianwen immediately said: "Barbecue Wan."
"Playing with meat, you should give it a try."
Abdullah smiled at Khald and said: "Thank you, I will go and eat. Are you still used to living here?"
Khald nodded and said: "Get used to it, there's nothing I'm not used to. I like it here very much. It's a little cold in winter, but I can spend the whole winter on the seaside in the south."
The topic started with food, and it was Khaled who took the initiative.
Taking the initiative to speak is equivalent to showing weakness, equivalent to expressing surrender. Of course, it is not surrender to Abdullah, but surrender to Sharman behind him.
Abdullah was concerned about whether Khalid was used to living here, and the subtext was that if he felt uncomfortable here, just say so.
As long as Khalid showed a little homesickness at this moment, as long as he said a few words, Abdullah would immediately answer and let him go back.
Of course Abdullah had reported it to Sharman before coming to dinner. Sharman knew that Khaled was also going to attend the dinner, so of course they knew what would happen.
So Abdullah has been authorized to say these words for Sharman.
But Khaled said that he was very used to it, which made Abdullah a little confused about how to answer it.
You can't directly say whether you want to go back and have a look. That would change the taste. It would be Sharman inviting Khaled back, instead of Khaled requesting to go back and Sharman agreeing to his return.
Abdullah paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Just get used to it."
You can't say too much for fear of saying the wrong thing.
At this time, Gao Yi raised the juice and said to Teacher Mu: "Teacher Mu, I finally see you today. I won't say anything more. Let's use juice instead of wine. Thank you for your help."
There is no wine-table culture in the Middle East, so Gao Yi first thanked the people he had been thinking about.
Teacher Mu raised the drink, and then said with a wry smile: "Little Mu, come too."
Gao Yi deliberately went against the grain and ignored Abdullah and Khald.
Khald took the initiative to show weakness for the sake of his son and directly expressed his attitude of surrender. In fact, this somewhat disrupted Gao Yi's plan.
According to the normal procedure, we shouldn’t talk about these things after drinking for three rounds and the atmosphere becomes heated. Khald doesn’t have to go back, but at least he must have the attitude and assurance that he can go back at any time.
In general, Khaled was anxious and did not control the situation well because he was not good at this kind of situation which was not a negotiation but a tacit agreement between the two parties.
In fact, Gao Yi is not good at it. He has never done this kind of thing before, so he can only interrupt now, leaving room for the two of them to wait for a while and continue the topic.
When Gao Yi drank the juice, he winked at Feng Biao, and Huang Haisheng also saw this wink.
Gao Yi turned to Feng Biao for help, but Feng Biao stabbed Huang Haisheng under the table.
Feng Biao is good at flattering others, but he is not very good at enlivening the dinner atmosphere.
Huang Haisheng did his part. He immediately picked up the drink and said with a smile: "As a half-host, I welcome you all..."
At this time, Abdullah suddenly turned his head and looked squinting at the ceiling at 45 degrees.
Huang Haisheng was a little shocked. What happened to this person?
Gao Yi was even more puzzled, why did Abdullah come here to act so arrogant or something?
Huang Haisheng's words were immediately blocked back in his mouth. Even though he has a strong psychological quality, to be honest, he is not familiar with this kind of drinking game!
It takes someone from another place, even an ordinary waiter, to make the atmosphere at the dinner table extremely lively.
But who is Huang Haisheng? He is a sharp blade, a dark sword, and a shield, but he is not the person who changes glasses at the dinner table.
If you understand it, but you're not good at it, you're in trouble.
Abdullah ignored Huang Haisheng's welcome. After he looked at everyone here, only Huang Haisheng was considered an outsider, and the rest were all friends of Gao Yi, he could no longer suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart.
I knew I shouldn't be like this, but I just couldn't help it. I couldn't help it. Abdullah's greatest strength was his loyalty. When it came to doing things, his ability to adapt to changing circumstances was very limited.
Frankly speaking, my eyesight is a bit lacking.
Abdullah said to Gao Yi casually: "Has your company been registered?"
"Ah? Uh, not yet."
Abdullah nodded and said: "No rush, it depends on your time. His Highness the Prince told me before I came that he had prepared 10 billion US dollars to buy things from you. It would not be possible to replace him with anyone else.
no."
When he said this, Abdullah rolled his eyes and glanced at Huang Haisheng, and then he continued: "The deal you made with France last time was very good."
Gao Yi understood that Abdullah was trying to gain favor for him.
Abdullah picked up the drink, raised his glass to Khald, then put his hand on Gao Yi's shoulder and said: "You are a good brother of His Highness the Prince. You are responsible for this transaction."
, I just sign the appropriation, all the funds have been received, now I’m just waiting for you.”
It was originally planned to be presented on a serious and grand occasion. If Sharman wanted to praise Gao Yi, he would naturally have to show some ability to calm people down.
But the prince's good brother has been despised, and there is no grand and serious occasion. What to do? Of course Abdullah will fight for Gao Yi's reputation.
But the problem is, this would be embarrassing.
Abdullah is indeed a loyal man, he really didn't understand the situation at all.
The first one to react must have been Xin Feng, because while others were still looking at each other in confusion, Xin Feng couldn't help but laugh. Although he didn't make a sound, he could hardly hold it in anymore.
Huang Haisheng just wants to lament.
After doing this, if you go to pull your boss out now, wouldn't that mean you are despising Gao Yi?
This Abdullah was completely stunned.
"How many?"
Gao Yi looked shocked, then full of gratitude. He said to Abdullah: "Ten billion? Did I hear that right? This is too much, too much!"
Gao Yi is not good at handling this kind of situation, but fortunately he has a quick reaction. He knows that the most important thing at this time is to show his gratitude to Sharman, and the rest will be dealt with later.
Let’s save the face that Abdullah throws at us first, and then find a way to smooth things over.
Chapter completed!
