Chapter 129: Confrontation at the dinner table (Part 2)

"Director Wang is too modest." Shu Yingdaer smiled: "I think there are many great people in Chixin City. To be honest, I have never encountered an assassin who could get close to me under the heavy search of bodyguards, even in Beijing. So Chixin City is also worthy of being called a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery."

"Hahaha." Director Wang quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Shu Yingdaer speaks fluent Chinese."

"You are flattered." Shu Yingdaer took a sip of tea: "The Chinese of the person who assassinated me last night was much more fluent than mine. At least he succeeded in deceiving me."

"Mr. Shu Yingdaer," the mayor saw that he could not get around this matter, and he also bit the bullet and raised the teacup: "This matter is indeed my responsibility. I apologize to Mr. Shu Yingdaer."

If it were normal, he would not act like this even if the other party was the chairman, but he had no choice. Now is the critical moment for him to rush for performance and prepare for promotion, and as the short board of Chixin City, the economy must be developed.

"No, no, no, I was too careless." Shu Yingdaer didn't do anything too much. He raised his teacup slightly. Although he didn't clink glasses with the mayor, he didn't leave the mayor alone. However, his next sentence made the mayor even more embarrassed: "I overestimated the safety of the environment I live in. This is my problem."

This statement is obviously about his own problem, but in fact, overestimating the safety of the environment is still implying that the safety of Chixin City is not up to standard!

"Mr. Shu Ying, this..." The mayor was really embarrassed after being confronted by Shu Yingdaer several times in a row. For a while, he didn't know how to continue the topic.

Fortunately, Secretary Li walked in from the door at this time.

"Manager, the order is ready." Secretary Li reported to Shu Yingdaer first, then looked at Director Wang: "Four meat dishes, four vegetable dishes, four desserts, and four soups. Have you seen enough?"

"Enough, enough." Director Wang nodded, and suddenly had an idea, and directed the topic to the secretary: "Secretary Li, your dishes are very good, but I have to remind you of one thing."

"Director Wang, please speak." Secretary Li immediately sat up straight, pretending to be humbly asking for advice.

"Our country has never particularly liked the number four, thinking that it is homophonic with the word "death", so you can just say eight main dishes, a few desserts, and a soup for each person, which sounds much better."

"I've learned." Secretary Li nodded seriously, but in fact, of course she knew this, and she said this to bully Shu Yingdaer for not understanding this custom, and deliberately disgusted Shu Yingdaer.

"Oh? There is such a saying in your country? I only know that you don't order odd numbers when ordering dishes." Unexpectedly, Shu Yingdaer became interested. After all, he is a businessman, and it is better to know more about this common etiquette.

"Indeed, there is." Before Director Wang could speak, a man came in with a tray.

"Dong Peng!" Shu Yingdaer was a little surprised to see the visitor: "Are you also in charge of the catering part?"

"Of course not." Dong Peng smiled: "All the work in our hotel is handled by a dedicated person, and I am responsible for taking care of Mr. Shu Yingdaer."

"Thoughtful arrangement." Shu Yingdaer seemed very satisfied, nodded, and pointed to the spare chair behind him: "Come on, come on, sit down together."

"Okay." Dong Peng did not refuse, and pulled the stool to sit on Shu Yingdaer's right.

"Ahem!" The mayor's face turned black, and he coughed softly. When Dong Peng sat down, the distance between Shu Yingdaer and him became farther.

However, Dong Peng turned a deaf ear to him, and just quietly made a reassuring gesture with his fingers.

"Mr. Shu Yingdaer, although the etiquette on the table in our country is not as formal as in your hometown, there are also many in number..."

...

"Why are you here?" In the kitchen, Xue Mo looked at the meat silk beside him and frowned.

"Why can't I be here?" Rousi raised her eyebrows: "Why are you here?"

"I said I came to help a friend."

"I... the temperature has dropped sharply recently, and my flower shop has to close, so I came out to do odd jobs." Rousi lied without changing her face. Although Xue Mo had never been to her flower shop, how could a flower shop not be open in winter?

"You two, stop chatting, hurry up and serve the dishes! Otherwise, your wages will be deducted!" A woman in formal clothes urged: "Be careful, don't bump into him!"

After his reminder, Xue Mo dodged and just avoided a waiter who almost bumped into him.

"Xiao Fang, can you be more careful? Don't be so clumsy. I know your family is rich and you come here just to experience life, but the person in the room today is much higher than your father. If you really offend him, maybe you will really have to come to work here tomorrow!"

The manager in formal clothes walked towards the waitress and educated her.

Xue Mo came back to his senses and looked over. What a coincidence! The waiter was the one he bumped into at the elevator door just now.

"Stop looking and serve the food." After scolding Xiao Fang, the manager turned his attention back to Xue Mo and the others, and kept muttering, "Secretary Li is also strange. He must use you newbies. It's really, alas."

...

At the dinner table, Dong Peng served tea and water while explaining the local table etiquette to Shu Yingdaer in detail.

Schuindell actually worked hard on this, but he never expected that in this country, not only are there so many etiquettes, but also that each place has its own customs, and the same model cannot be used everywhere.

In his mind, he kept comparing what Dong Peng said with what he had learned from books before. In the end, Shuindell only summed up one sentence:

"Dong Peng, this hotel is not the place for you to stay."

"You are flattering me. I have been in this industry for a long time, so I have a little experience." Dong Peng said modestly.

"Knock knock knock!" At this time, the door of the private room was knocked.

The door opened, and three waiters, one man and two women, walked into the room one by one with trays.

"Hello, I will serve you a dish." The leading waitress bowed slightly, her manners were elegant and friendly.

Seeing the three people coming in, the expressions of the people in the room were different.

The mayor looked normal.

Captain Wang looked surprised and astonished.

Shuindell frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Dong Peng frowned when she saw the leader, but when she looked at the man behind her, the tension and vigilance between her brows eased a lot.

And when Secretary Li saw the three waiters coming in, the corners of her mouth curled up into a winning smile.
