Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 207 - 148: The Ceiling of the Average Girl, I Won’t Let You Succeed (Part 2)
Is stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers without pork a type of cuisine?
Waiter: "Sorry, miss, cappuccino is made with fresh milk and coffee compression. What do you mean by no milk? I’m a little confused."
Zhang Hailing: "I just want a cappuccino without adding extra milk. That’s how I order it abroad. Surely you have this service here, right?"
The waiter’s eyes said it all; is she crazy?
Waiter: "Alright. Cappuccino without... without milk..."
Sigh...
The waiter was speechless.
Zhang Hailing: "A steak, medium-well."
Yang Chen could hardly bear it. A proper Western restaurant has steak cooked rare, medium-rare, medium, medium-well, and well done. Where’s the option for medium-well?
Waiter: "Sorry, miss, our steaks are done rare, medium-rare, medium, medium-well, and well done. What do you mean by medium-well?"
Zhang Hailing: "What is going on here? I can order the steak any way I like abroad. Why do you only have fixed levels of doneness? Are your steaks pre-made and not freshly cooked by the chef?"
Waiter: "No, no, definitely not. Our steaks are made fresh to order by the kitchen. If you want medium-well, we’ll make it medium-well."
Yang Chen figured it out; her study abroad was definitely just a way to kill time.
Ordering two items and getting both wrong, doesn’t even know the basics of dining, how can she be expected to learn anything?
Then, Zhang Hailing asked Yang Chen, "Can I order something a bit more expensive?"
Yang Chen: "How close do you think we are, for you to order something that expensive?"
Zhang Hailing: "Hmph! Got it! Don’t think you can win me over with this. I’ll have some caviar, foie gras, and a bottle of champagne."
Yang Chen: "Are we that close?"
Zhang Hailing: "Ordering something expensive deepens our relationship, doesn’t it? Alright, that’s it. If it’s not enough, I’ll order more."
The waiter nodded and then smiled slightly at Yang Chen, "Mr. Yang, what would you like to have?"
Yang Chen: "I’ll have a well-done steak, some pasta, a fresh juice, and a vegetable salad."
Waiter: "Alright. Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
While waiting for the kitchen, Zhang Hailing started questioning Yang Chen.
"Let’s chat about something. I’ll start. How much is your annual property management fee?"
Yang Chen didn’t understand her intent and replied directly, "I don’t know, I just moved here." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
The previous old house’s management fee was more than two yuan per month, but at the Lake Heart Island Villa, Yang Chen hadn’t actually paid any management fees, he really didn’t know.
Zhang Hailing thought, "Oh, renting, so no need for him to pay, the landlord would."
Then, she asked, "Have you thought about when to change to a Mercedes or BMW?"
Yang Chen shook his head and said, "Never thought about it."
Zhang Hailing thought, "No ambition, satisfied with an old Volkswagen."
She continued, "What’s your monthly salary then?"
Salary?
Only as a ride-share driver could he talk about salary, the other ventures were shares, profits, and rent.
Yang Chen: "Over ten thousand."
Zhang Hailing: "In Hai City, how do you live on ten thousand a month? When will you afford a house? No wonder you don’t dare to think about Mercedes or BMW."
Yang Chen: "So, why do I need to buy a house, or a Mercedes or BMW?"
Why buy a house when I have the Lake Heart Island Villa?
Why degrade myself to Mercedes or BMW when I can drive Phaetons for work, Cullinans for fun, and Bugattis to show off?
Zhang Hailing: "Sigh... No ambition!"
Yang Chen: "Have you found a job yet?"
Zhang Hailing: "Of course, I have! For a high-educated overseas returnee like me, finding a job is simple. I’ve found a core position at a company."
Yang Chen: "Oh? What’s the position?"
Zhang Hailing: "Secretary to the boss."
Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh. Wow, indeed a core person for the boss, if she stays long enough, she might even become the apple of the boss’s eye.
Yang Chen: "Your salary must be high, then."
Zhang Hailing: "It’s okay, 3500 a month, with all benefits."
Wow, studying abroad to be a secretary for 3500 a month, better to attend a vocational school in the country.
But, judging by her speech, she probably went to a diploma mill, can’t get the basic facts right, definitely slacked for a few years abroad.
Yang Chen: "I earn over ten thousand a month, and you think I’m not enough. What do you say about a 3500 job?"
Zhang Hailing: "How can that be the same?"
Yang Chen: "Why not?"
Zhang Hailing: "I’m a woman, a woman’s 3500 equals a man’s 100,000 a month, don’t you get it?"
Yang Chen turned back to see the waiter, why haven’t the dishes been served yet?
I’m eager to eat and leave, keep talking to her, and I’ll turn stupid too.
Seeing Yang Chen silent, Zhang Hailing comforted him, "Don’t be disheartened, even if you’re poor, you’re decent-looking, you can find those rural girls without education. They don’t have high demands for life, as long as you’re pleasing to the eye. My middle school and high school classmates are like that."
Yang Chen chuckled and said, "From what you’re saying, you need to find someone earning 100,000 a month?"
Zhang Hailing shook her head and said, "I just said, a woman’s 3500 is equivalent to a man’s 100,000 a month, so I have to find someone earning over 200,000 a month. Sorry, you don’t meet my criteria."
