Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Before Liu Wanjin came to China, he had already imagined the scene of meeting a mysterious oriental boss who he had never met before but was already well-known.

But no matter how he imagined it, no matter how familiar he was with China, he couldn't imagine that the place where he and the other party met for the first time was at a barbecue stall.

And the other party glanced at him. Although Liu Wanjin is now in good health after important medical treatment, his face still has a somewhat sick look. After all, the treatment time is less than a week, and the disease is gone like a thread, not to mention that he has to cut off

The spleen.

So Yang Dongxu was very hospitable and ordered him two large kidneys. They all said that the five internal organs are equal to the five elements, and the five elements complement each other. Therefore, it is somewhat effective to supplement the kidneys without a spleen.

The spring evenings in Shanghai are a bit cold, and even the occasional late spring cold can make people feel like it's winter. So eating barbecue on the roadside after seven o'clock in the evening is not a good choice. The small wind makes people very uncomfortable.

comfortable.

Of course, it would feel much better if paired with a pot of rice wine.

Even the small charcoal stove and the noisy roadside stalls feel a bit inconsistent. After all, the artistic conception that charcoal stove rice wine evokes is either in an antique private room.

Either in a pavilion by the Feng River in Bamianlou, or on a boat on the lake, or even if that doesn't work, you'd better stay in a stylish teahouse.

Eating barbecue at a roadside restaurant with hot rice wine served over a charcoal stove. Is this healthy or a show-off?

In fact, Yang Dongxu didn't expect this at first. Although Liu Wanjin was just an introduction, he still had to talk about the basic etiquette. But after coming out of the company, he saw the barbecue on the roadside and suddenly wanted to eat it.

As I ate barbecue and felt the cool breeze blowing, I felt that middle-aged people should pay attention to their health, so I made a charcoal stove to simmer rice wine. In my previous life, I was restricted by all kinds of rules and regulations, but I couldn't break them.

In the past few years in this life, I seemed carefree and casual, but I was also cautious for fear that I would make the wrong move. Now that I have reached this status and status, if I don't do something that makes me feel comfortable, I will instantly feel sorry for all the years of struggle.

So regardless of whether he was being impolite to customers at the barbecue stall, it was the greatest courtesy for Yang Dongxu to meet Liu Wanjin in person.

I don’t care if it’s a bit naughty to eat barbecue with rice wine at a roadside stall. I like it but it’s not like I won’t pay for it. What can you do to me?

Anyway, there is a driver after drinking, and the police can't care about him if he abides by the law, so you don't need to pay attention to those weird looks in his eyes.

"Eat whatever you want. Try some rice wine. It's good for your stomach to simmer it." Seeing that Liu Wanjin and Yang Dongxu had no intention of getting up, they motioned for the other party to sit down casually.

Apart from ordering two skewers of large kidneys for Liu Wanjin, he didn’t order anything else. It was obviously a signal to Liu Wanjin to order whatever he wanted.

I was simmering rice wine and eating barbecue at the barbecue stall, which attracted the attention of several customers nearby. They looked even weirder when they saw that they invited a foreigner to dinner.

Of course, this weird thing is not seeing foreigners at the barbecue stalls. With the current international status and reputation of Shanghai, although there are not as many foreigners here as there will be in a few years, it is not uncommon to see foreigners in the streets and alleys.

.

Not to mention foreigners eating barbecue, many people have also seen foreigners stepping on chairs and fist-pumping and drinking with their companions.

The reason for their strange expressions was that the combination of rice wine and barbecue made them think that another foreign friend might have been misled.

"Boss, ten mutton skewers, one skewer of squid, two skewers of leeks, two skewers of cabbage and mushrooms, and by the way, two grilled sausages." There was nothing weird about Liu Wanjin's face. He sat down with a small smile and spoke in a low-key tone.

Start ordering in Chinese.

Liu Wanjin was indeed a little surprised that Yang Dongxu invited him to eat at the barbecue stall, but he was just a little surprised. He was also a man who had seen the world, and it was impossible for him to show his emotions on his face just because of such a trivial matter.

At the same time, I saw that although Yang Dongxu was wearing no brand, but definitely more valuable than luxury goods, he was so harmonious sitting at the barbecue stall, although the high pot of rice wine next to him was a bit unusual, and he looked like a common man.

This made the character image construction he originally made for Yang Dongxu become blurry in an instant.

This is an absolute giant crocodile hidden in deep water. Even in international waters that he is unfamiliar with, not everyone can provoke him.

Sitting at a roadside stall, such a person had the feeling of being a common citizen, which made Liu Wanjin's mind go into a trance for a moment. He suddenly thought of an old man from the Rothschild family who had retired behind the scenes.

That old man was very majestic, and even when he was old, he never saw his kindness. That kind of majesty made you dare not look directly at him, dare not approach him, let alone disobey him.

Two completely opposite personalities and images. But at this moment, he felt strangely that they had a common feeling.

That kind of common ground seems to be...it seems to be - be yourself!

That’s right, just be yourself!

As the former head of the Rothschild family, this old man had countless achievements in his life from his birth to his succession to his voluntary retirement. He never had to bend down to anyone, show humility to anyone, or smile to anyone.

He is who he is, a being who should be proud from birth, so even when he meets the head of a country, the seriousness on his face never shrinks.

The Yang Dongxu in front of him is not as proud as any of his old family heads. He needs to smile at others, but he also flatters others, suffers losses, and has to give in when others force him.

In short, he has encountered all the unsatisfactory things in life. Although he is the winner in the end, he is not as good as his old master, who has always been like me and never stooped.

But there is such a person in front of me, such a young person, with his current status and capital. Of course, he still has many enemies, and I don’t know how many times he will have to make compromises and concessions in his future life.

But at this moment, or at this moment, he has the same right to talk about freedom as any of his old family masters, or has the qualification to be himself.

That's why the two of them overlapped in his mind at this moment.

"Are you still used to eating in Shanghai?" Seeing Liu Wanjin finish ordering the barbecue, Yang Dongxu picked up the hot rice wine sitting on the charcoal stove and poured him a glass, asking as if he was making a routine.

"I'm quite used to it. Although I haven't lived in China for a long time before, I have come here often and I have a special liking for Chinese food. So coming to Magic City is not a question of whether you are accustomed to eating habits, but to control yourself.

Don’t worry about getting fat by eating too much,” Liu Wanjin said with a smile.

His smile is very cheerful, as cheerful as a young man who is full of expectations for the future, and does not want to be the smile of an old man like him. Therefore, this smile is very contagious.

It makes people who see it feel like an old man has such a hearty smile. Why should he feel sorry for himself when he is still young?

"Haha, then you have to control it. It's easy to eat fat but not easy to lose weight." Yang Dongxu couldn't help but laugh.

When the barbecue was served, the two of them were chatting while eating, just like a pair of friends meeting at a barbecue stall today. They didn't talk about the economy, the international environment, or anything that should be discussed.

Just chatting, and the people chatting seemed quite happy.
