"Brother Shen, what's going on?"

Li Yu walked forward and asked Shen Jiaze.

Shin Jiaze pointed to the waiter with a bitter face and said, "I just went to the bathroom, but when I came back, my phone rang. I was just picking up the phone, and I accidentally bumped into the young man. Then all the food in his hand was poured onto the lady."

"How are you walking? You can hit someone by picking up a phone? I just bought this skirt for 598 yuan. Now it's covered with vegetable soup and can't be washed. What do you think?" The young woman in white dress shouted in a sharp voice, her pretty face flushed, obviously she was really anxious.

Li Yu looked at the skirt on her body and couldn't help but frown. The hem of the skirt was full of dark brown vegetable stains. It should be very difficult to wash until it was restored to its original color. Fortunately, the soup was just sprinkled on her skirt. If it was splashed on a tighter place, it would not only be a problem of dirtying the clothes, but it would probably also burn the person out.

Shen Jiaze has already explained the story very clearly, and no one else has any objection. The whole thing is Shen Jiaze's responsibility. Li Yu couldn't find a reason to take it aside, so he could only give up with a smile and said to the young woman in white dress: "Sister, I'm sorry, my elder brother didn't deliberately sprinkle the soup on you, so don't blame him."

"What do you think of? I just bought a skirt and I only wore it once..." The young woman in white dress bit her and refused to give in.

Shen Jiaze gritted his teeth and said humbly: "Ms., is this OK... Your skirt can actually be washed clean. I will pay you a laundry fee of 100 yuan. What do you think?"

"100 yuan?" said the young woman in a disdainful tone, "I spent 598 on this skirt, so you give me 100 yuan? Is there something so cheap?"

"Your skirt is still OK, but you need to send it to the laundry to wash it. The price of washing a skirt is at most 50 yuan, right? I'll give you 100 yuan, right?"

"Who can guarantee that it can be washed clean? Besides, even if it can be washed clean, should I spend time when I send it to wash, how much should I calculate the loss of work? How to calculate the mental loss? By the way, I came here to have an appointment with someone for dinner. Now, how do I meet people? I have delayed my affairs, should you compensate for this loss?"

“…”

Shen Jiaze was speechless. Although the young woman's calculation was suspected of extortion, it was not completely unreasonable. Nowadays, anyone who was thrown into vegetable soup for no reason would probably not accept compensation of only 100 yuan.

In the past, this matter would not have made Shen Jiaze too embarrassed. At worst, it would be better to pay more than to be watched here. But now he is empty, and half of the only 400 yuan he has borrowed from his colleagues. If he pays the money to the young woman, he will not be able to afford the cost of the meal.

"Madam, the account cannot be settled like this..." Shen Jiaze could only bite the bullet and planned to talk to the other party about the price.

Li Yu saw the clues, and he stopped Shen Jiaze, turned to the young woman and asked, "Sister, then according to you, how much do you think we will pay you more?"

"At least 500!" the young woman said without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll give you 500." Li Yu took out his wallet from his pocket without saying a word, counted out five large tickets, and handed them to the young woman's hand.

"It's so unlucky!" The young woman took the money and stopped yelling. She said the price of 500, and she had room to hang out with the other party. Unexpectedly, the other party was so happy, which made her happy. She carefully stuffed the money into her little Kun bag, and then limped towards the outside of the restaurant. She now had this image, and she must be unable to stay for dinner. Li Yu saw her taking out a cell phone from her bag while walking and making a phone call. She probably was contacting the person who was dating and informing her of the emergencies.

"Isn't this a slander?"

Shen Jiaze muttered and followed Li Yu back to his seat. His face was full of embarrassment, and he looked at Li Yu and wanted to speak but stopped.

"Brother Shen, don't think about this, just treat it as losing money and avoiding disasters." Li Yu persuaded Shen Jiaze with the common sayings used by people.

"Oh... this matter is causing trouble..." Shen Jiaze sighed, then blushed and said, "Xiao Li... I can't repay you for this 500 yuan now. I have to wait for me to pay my salary..."

"Brother Shen, don't say that." Li Yu interrupted Shen Jiaze and said, "Does it still need to say the 500 yuan thing between us brothers? But... Brother Shen, are you very tight now?"

"Oh, I don't want to make you fat," said Shen Jiaze. He never wanted Li Yu to know his predicament, but if something happened like this, he couldn't hide it. Li Yu helped him pay 500 yuan, but he couldn't give it back to Li Yu. Isn't this enough to explain the problem? At this point, if he still claims to have money, it will only be embarrassment and more thoroughly.

"I used to save some money, but this time I divorced, I had to separate the property. The house I bought was to be kept for the elderly at home, so I could only give all the money to my ex-wife. The child is now awarded to her, and I gave her one year of support at one time, so I was really penniless. My original company could no longer go back. Now this company is a straw troupe. My monthly salary is only 3,000 yuan. I deducted the rent and sent the elderly at home... To be honest, I only have more than 200 yuan left in my hand. Today, in order to invite you to dinner, I also borrowed 200 yuan from my colleagues."

After Shen Jiaze finished speaking these in one breath, his mood became relaxed. It was actually a very tiring thing to force his face in front of his friends. He simply said everything thoroughly, whether it was embarrassing or hurting his self-esteem, it didn't matter if it said it.

"Brother Shen, I'm so sorry, I really don't know this." Li Yu felt a little guilty. Shen Jiaze just said that he was in a low period and his economic situation was not very good, but Li Yu never expected that Shen Jiaze would be so poor that he couldn't even take out 500 yuan. He even had to borrow money from his colleagues when he invited him to a meal. Li Yu already had some understanding of modern society and knew that white-collar workers like Shen Jiaze had a high income and would not be worried about the things that cost hundreds of yuan. Shen Jiaze would be very miserable when he fell into such a situation.

Shen Jiaze said: "It's okay, I'm just having some difficulties for the time being. This difficulty can't beat me down. By the way, Xiao Li, you just gave me 500 yuan. You have no problem with your living expenses in the second half of the month, right? If not, I'll borrow some money from my colleague tomorrow and repay it to you first."

Li Yu shook his head and said, "Brother Shen, I won't hide it from you anymore. My condition is pretty good now. I just told you that I work in a restaurant. In fact, that restaurant was opened by me and a few friends. I am the major shareholder."

"Really?" Shin Jiaze widened his eyes, with more relief than envy on his face. He asked repeatedly: "How is the restaurant business you run? Are you starting to make a profit now? Can the profit per month exceed ten thousand?"

Li Yu said: "I run a medicinal restaurant. Because there are some secret medicinal recipes, the business is pretty good."

"Medicinal Dining House?" Shen Jiaze was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a hesitant tone: "You are talking about the Baicao Medicinal Dining House on Wenyu Street, right?"

"Brother Shen has heard of it, too?" Li Yu asked back.

"Damn!" Shen Jiaze stood up and stopped for several seconds before realizing that his reaction was too strong. He sat back in his seat, staring at Li Yu with his eyes curled up, and said, "You are actually the boss of Baicao Medicine Food Farm, and you are also a major shareholder! Do you know how famous Baicao Medicine Food Farm is? Our colleagues once guessed together that the profit of this restaurant will definitely not be less than 1 million in a month!"

"It's almost the case." Li Yu replied lightly. In fact, the gross profit of the medicinal food shop has long exceeded 5 million every month. Li Yu dared not tell the truth to Shen Jiaze, for fear that his fragile heart would not be able to bear it.

"It's really 1 million! Then... Then am I having dinner with a millionaire?" Shen Jiaze really couldn't accept this fact. It was not that he had never seen a rich man, but that he could not associate the word "millionaire" with the word "millionaire". What's more, 1 million is just a month's profit in the medicinal restaurant. What if it was opened for a year or two? Then wouldn't Li Yu have to have a net worth of tens of millions?

"No, you will pay for this meal today!" Shen Jiaze pointed at Li Yu with his finger and pretended to be vicious and said, "You are so rich, and you still let me, a poor man, invite you to dinner. It's too much!"

Li Yu smiled and said, "Brother Shen, haven't I said long ago that I should treat you? You insisted on rushing to treat you. How can I refute Brother Shen's face?"

Shen Jiaze is also a cheerful person. After hearing Li Yu say this, he laughed and said, "Haha, I feel good to have a rich friend. We agreed that I owe you 500 yuan, but I don't have to worry about paying it back. I will pay it back to you when I get my salary next month."

"Brother Shen, you don't have to pay back the money." Li Yu said.

"This is not possible, one code is the same. You can pay for the meal today, but the 500 yuan is my mistake and I can't let you pay. This is my principle of being a human being." Shen Jiaze said seriously.

Li Yu knew that this involved Shen Jiaze's self-esteem issue. If he refused blindly, Shen Jiaze would feel uncomfortable. So he stopped pestering this matter, but changed to a topic he had wanted to talk about long ago:

"Brother Shen, we haven't finished saying it. You said you have always had the idea of ​​starting a company by yourself, but now you don't have enough money. If I invest in you, we will start a company together and make the electronic products you designed, are you interested?"

"You invest for me?" Shen Jiaze's expression became serious. "Xiao Li, it's risky to run a company. Of course, I am confident about the products I have developed, but no one can guarantee what the response will be in the market. Do you really dare to cooperate with me?"

"I believe in Brother Shen's vision." Li Yu said calmly. Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
