rebirth of cataclysm

The first time he met and dealt with Hu Mingchen, Chen Kang wanted to treat Hu Mingchen to dinner and gave him a separate room in the hotel where they lived.

Hu Mingchen accepted Chen Kang's hospitality and kindness calmly and did not go against his wishes.

Of course, Hu Mingchen also gave Chen Kang a simple explanation that he came to the capital not for him, but because he had something to do and to meet his sister who had disappeared.

As for what happened to him, Chen Kang didn't ask, and Hu Mingchen didn't explain.

Even in Chen Kang's heart, Hu Mingchen came just for him, and he didn't know if he would take a trip to the capital. Anyway, in his opinion, Hu Mingchen's family is a well-off family, and the conditions in the local area may be decent, otherwise he would not be able to send Hu Yan off

Although I have traveled abroad, I am afraid that I rarely come to the capital.

The place where Chen Kang was treating was a high-end restaurant not far from the embassy area, and they needed to take a taxi there.

According to Hu Yandie, just find a restaurant nearby, there is no need to spend a lot of money, let alone waste that money.

Because in Hu Yandie's opinion, his younger brother has seen all kinds of luxurious scenes, and here in Hawaii, there are big capitalists who invite them to stay in a luxury hotel with sea view. Therefore, there is no need to do it in front of him.

Those meaningless performances.

But Chen Kang had to persist.

"It's rare for me to come to the capital. We don't go to places like that every day. We just enjoy it once in a while. It's okay, haha."

Hu Mingchen quietly shrugged and spread his hands to his sister Hu Yandie: "As you can see, I didn't ask for it, and I didn't make it difficult for him. Haha, but looking at him like this, he is quite kind and cute. I think, after a meal, it is enough

It won’t make him bankrupt, right?”

"Huh, it's not like he's going bankrupt, but it's not easy for him to make some money by working part-time in the United States." Hu Yandie snorted accusingly.

Hu Mingchen already knew that when Chen Kang went to study in the United States, his family paid the tuition fees, but he had to earn his own living expenses.

Chen Kang did not go to Chinatown to wash dishes, but did odd jobs for some Chinese-funded companies. However, because he did not have employment qualifications, his income was not high and unstable. Sometimes he would write articles for others, but his income was higher.

Some.

Isn't it popular in China to find someone to write papers on your behalf? Chen Kang took some orders transferred from China, and after all, he could just write them and send them back online.

A master's thesis costs US$1,000, and an undergraduate thesis costs US$400. After a vacation, he can still earn several thousand US dollars.

"Why are you scolding me? If you can't stand it, or if he has no money to spend, you can just subsidize him. It's equivalent to me paying the bill myself." Hu Mingchen said disapprovingly.

"What are you talking about? If I do that, he will feel embarrassed and disrespected. He never spends my money. He said that if he spends my money, it means he has no ability."

"There is something you may not have told me. He should also say that if you don't have the ability to make money, how can you be happy, right?" Hu Mingchen said jokingly with a playful smile.

After Hu Mingchen said these words, Hu Yandie's cheeks turned red instantly and she felt embarrassed. It was obvious that Hu Mingchen had guessed correctly and hit the nail on the head.

"Haha, he is really interesting. My initial impression is that he passes the test." Hu Mingchen seemed not to notice Hu Yandie's embarrassed expression and continued to smile.

"What are you talking about? You are so happy. This is right here. We will eat here." Chen Kang, who was walking in front, turned around and asked, then pointed to a modern European-style restaurant facing the river.

There was a traffic jam at the intersection just now, so Li Wenjie and the others got out of the car and walked about 200 meters to get here.

"We're not talking about anything, we're just talking about your study and life in the United States." Hu Mingchen took two quick steps and came forward.

"Haha, that was indeed a beautiful time worthy of nostalgia." Chen Kang looked at Hu Yandie and said with longing.

"Study time is always short and can easily be gone forever. Shall we eat here? This place... doesn't look cheap. There are high-end people or foreigners coming in and out." Hu Mingchen

After nodding, he pointed to the door of the restaurant.

There is a small parking lot in front of the restaurant, which is already full of vehicles, and it is not cheap to pick up each car.

Several people came out of the restaurant chatting, two Chinese and three foreigners. They were either dressed like fashionable gentlemen or like young ladies.

"We just came here to have a meal, and we don't want to compare with them. Besides, those who go in don't necessarily have to be rich. Especially you can't judge someone by how they dress. I also came here once before going abroad. Then

At that time, we were even poorer than now." Chen Kang said calmly and calmly.

Hu Mingchen nodded, agreeing with Chen Kang's view.

The most typical example is himself.

At this moment, Hu Mingchen, who is here, has no hint of a rich man. He is simple and unpretentious, and he is just a white-collar worker who has just started working. But who knows, he is the richest one. Just this kind of restaurant

, let alone eating, he can even buy a thousand houses.

"Have you been here before? Why do you come to a place like this to spend money if you don't have money?" Hu Yandie came up and asked with a strange expression.

"That's because I'm going abroad. A few good friends treated me to a treat and saw me off. Haha, I'm not footing the bill." Chen Kang seemed to have taken advantage of others and was embarrassed to say it.

"But today, you have to pay the bill." Hu Mingchen raised his eyebrows and said.

"Of course, I'm treating you to a banquet. Come on, I've reserved a place in advance."

Chen Kang took the lead and walked in. At the front desk, he announced his name to the beautiful waiter and explained his reservation time.

Then, a tall and sweet waiter wearing a black short skirt led them to a seat by the window.

The windows are bright and clean, with plain lace screens, white tablecloths, comfortable wooden sofas and chairs, and exquisite tableware.

In the middle of the restaurant, there is a young and beautiful pianist playing the piano and performing a Chopin piano concerto. Together with the oil murals on the wall, the whole restaurant gives people a very comfortable feeling.

"I don't know if you like to eat Western food. However, although Western food is mainly served here, there are also dishes from our surrounding areas, especially southern ones..." After sitting down, Chen Kang

Picked up the menu and said slightly apologetically.

It seems like we should first ask Hu Mingchen what he likes. This kind of behavior that makes the decision first, Chen Kang also feels a little inappropriate at the moment.

Hu Mingchen and the others were sitting at a table for four, with Chen Kang and Hu Yandie next to each other. Hu Mingchen was sitting opposite them, and there was an empty chair next to them.

"Fortunately, I actually like hot pot or spicy stir-fries, but I am also willing to try new things, such as Western food or coffee, and I can adapt to it," Hu Mingchen said.

"That's good. You can see for yourself. Just order whatever you like. Don't be polite to me today. I'll treat you to hot pot and mutton-boiled meat tomorrow."

"Haha, the mutton-boiled dish is more enjoyable than this. If I had known it earlier, I might as well just have mutton-boiled meat for this meal. For the starter, I want the Norwegian smoked salmon with creamy mushrooms and herb braised eggs. For the soup, I want the German-style Dolan beans.

Beer soup... Italian bacon and prawn pizza, just give me a glass of grape juice for drinks."

Soon, Hu Mingchen finished ordering what he wanted.

There are a lot of styles at Beka, but they are not expensive. At least, in this restaurant, they are considered cheap. All of them added up are not as expensive as the first dish on the menu, foie gras oil truffle sauce, which alone

A dish costs more than one thousand or two thousand.

In order not to order expensive red wine, Hu Mingchen just drank a glass of grape juice.

"That's it? They also have yellow fin tuna and French steak here. They are both very good. Do you want to try them?" Seeing Hu Mingchen, he ordered some dishes that didn't cost more than 200. Chen Kang was surprised and ordered some.

Excuse me.

"Forget it, it's almost enough. If you eat too much, you can't finish it. We are now advocating the CD-ROM operation. Eat as much as you can." Hu Mingchen smiled at Hu Yandie and said.

Hu Mingchen was telling his sister, look, your brother is quite interesting.

A piece of top-quality yellowfin tuna costs thousands of yuan, and the French steak is not cheap either. Hu Mingchen simply turned it down.

Of course Hu Yandie could see that Hu Mingchen was taking care of Chen Kang's pocket, and she was quite satisfied with his approach.

"Let him order what he likes to eat, and you can order what you like to eat. He is so old, and he is not a child. Moreover, he is right about one thing. If you don't eat all the food, it will be wasted. Eat according to your stomach." Hu Yan

Die smoothed her hair beside her ears and smiled softly.

Because Hu Mingchen didn't order anything expensive, Chen Kang and Hu Yandie couldn't enjoy it either. But even so, Chen Kang still spent 2,600 to 700 yuan for this meal.

According to Chen Kang's budget, he planned to spend about five thousand yuan on this meal and treat Hu Mingchen to a good meal.

Now it's only half the time spent, and Chen Kang still feels quite relaxed.

Moreover, judging from the way Hu Mingchen ordered food just now, he must have eaten Western food, and he was taking care of him instead of killing him. This also gave Chen Kang a good impression of Hu Mingchen.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Chen Kang will hold a grudge or hate Hu Mingchen if he blackmails him, but it's just that his senses and impressions will be different.

"Brother Kang, what kind of job are you planning to find when you return to China this time?" Hu Mingchen asked after taking two sips of soup with a spoon and poking a piece of prawn pizza with a fork.

"Since I majored in computer science, I still want to find a technology company related to this." Chen Kang wiped the corners of his mouth and put down his knife and fork.

After getting along for a while, he became a little familiar with Hu Mingchen, and he had a good impression of Hu Mingchen. Therefore, his speech has become smoother now, not as awkward and awkward as when they first met in the hotel.

"Then why don't you want to stay in the United States? Logically speaking, if you graduated from a prestigious school and studied a popular major, it shouldn't be difficult to go to Silicon Valley and join those high-tech companies in the United States. What do you think?

What about returning to China?" Hu Mingchen then asked.

"Haha, first of all, your sister is going back to China. She told me from the beginning that she has no plans to settle down in the United States. Secondly, in the future, I am more optimistic about our country's potential and economic environment. I think,

When you return to China, you should have more room to develop." Chen Kang glanced at Hu Yandie with a shy smile and replied.
