Li Shu, Xu Qian, and Jing Lao Er arrived at the restaurant on the 8th floor of the Reese Hotel first and asked for a private room with the manager.
After the manager went out, Jing Laoer also went to guard outside the door. Inside the 4-meter by 4-meter simple box was Li Shu and Xu Qian was sitting on the seat.
Xu Qian looked around. There were white walls and red roofs. The mist-like air-conditioning fell from the roof, making the temperature in the private room comfortable. What caught Xu Qian's attention most in the private room was the tortoise in the fish tank in the north. Four tortoises were holding their paws. Swim in the water, feel free and carefree.
She looked away from the tortoise and said, "Senior, I'm a little nervous."
Li Shu was scanning the menu roughly, and what surprised him slightly was the signature dish here - "Steamed Menglong".
"Menglong" is the dream lobster, weighing 5 pounds, and a dish costing 50,000 ringgit! So scary!
"Don't be nervous." Li Shu smiled faintly and gave Xu Qian strength with a calm expression: "I'm here and I will help you. You don't need to say too much later. I'll pour you a glass of wine to express my gratitude. Just show some respect for Li Guozhang.
If he asks you something, if you are very nervous, just speak slowly and pronounce clearly. ".
Xu Qian seemed to have found her backbone, and felt a little relieved. She thought of another question: "Can he understand me when I speak Mandarin? But although I can speak English fluently, my pronunciation is not accurate."
"It's okay. Many people have this problem. Just speak Mandarin. Whether he understands or not is his problem." Li Shu said with a smile.
Whether you speak English fluently or not has nothing to do with your pronunciation. Many people tend to fall into a misunderstanding: when they see a person speaking a long paragraph in English with a confident expression and raised corners of his mouth, many people will think that this person is an English speaker. very good.
In fact, most of them are pretty bad.
Incorrect pronunciation is similar to foreigners saying "Hello" as "Nihao".
"Hahaha." Xu Qian laughed. She felt the tension in her heart dissipate. She muttered slightly and said, "Come on, senior! You must let me enter Edelweiss International College!"
"I'll try my best, but you have to be mentally prepared for failure. Even if you fail, don't blame me."
"No, no, senior, I would be very grateful if you are willing to help." Xu Qian said, waving her little hands.
Li Shu smiled and nodded.
Soon.
Dong dong dong~
Jing Laoer, who was guarding the door, knocked on the door and said, "Boss, your guest is here."
Hearing the sound, Li Shu and Xu Qian stood up and walked towards the door. The door opened at this time, and the fair-faced Li Guozhang and his slim secretary "Kui Zhen" walked in.
"Welcome welcome~".
"Brother Li Shu, we meet again! Hahaha~".
Li Shu and Li Guozhang hugged each other warmly, and Li Shu introduced Xu Qian as his "school girl." The latter shook hands with Li Guozhang generously, and Li Shu nodded.
Li Shu originally wanted Li Guozhang to sit on the main seat, but the latter refused to accept it and insisted on letting Li Shu take the main seat. In the end, no one took the main seat.
He handed the gilded menu to Li Guozhang on the right and said straight to the point with a smile: "My school girl Xu Qian wants to study at Edelweiss International College, but her transcripts for the three years of high school are not ideal, and her registration time is a bit late. It seems that Edelweiss International College has completed its enrollment?"
Li Guozhang looked at his secretary in surprise. When he came, he had guessed what Li Shu wanted him to help with, and was worried about what to do if it didn't work out, but he didn't expect it to be such a small thing.
After he was surprised, he looked relaxed. After all, letting Xu Qian enter the school was just a matter of his words. But after he realized that he couldn't act too relaxed, he suddenly became serious again and said in English: "Oh~ Li Shu Brother, things are really difficult to handle.
Edelweiss International College has completed its enrollment. I am not the only one to set the rules of the school. There is also a board of directors... ".
The subtle expression on Li Guozhang's face just now fell into Li Shu's eyes, and he felt relaxed instantly, thinking to himself: "There is a 90% chance that this will happen today, and Li Guozhang, an old fox, is still acting with me ~ hum hum ~".
"I know, I know, let's order first." Li Shu said with a smile.
"Well, that's fine." There were many lobsters on the menu, including Menglong, Bolong, Aolong, etc. Li Guozhang directly turned to the Menglong page to look at Li Shu, and then frowned and said: "Steamed Dream Lobster is indeed It’s delicious, oh, but it’s too expensive. 50,000 ringgit per dish, wow~ one dish can buy a car.”
"Just order the steamed dream lobster!" Li Shu immediately agreed with a smile and asked Adaptation to record it. At this point, Li Shu confirmed in his heart that there was a 99.9% probability that it would be done today.
In addition to the steamed dream lobster, I also ordered a bottle of regular vintage Lafite red wine for RM18,666, and a dozen other dishes.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious. Li Guozhang's secretary Kuizhen was also a master at adjusting the atmosphere. When Xu Qian gave a generous toast, Li Guozhang also praised her.
It's just that Li Guozhang said he would try his best when he went back, but it also made Li Shu and Xu Qian mentally prepared for failure, which made Xu Qian feel like a big stone was weighing on her heart.
After taking a break after eating, Li Shu, Xu Qian, Li Guozhang and Kuizhen went downstairs together and parted in the parking lot.
Buzz buzz~
Jing Laoer drove Li Shu and Xu Qian to the helicopter parking area.
Li Shu looked at his phone and found that it was already 2 pm. Boss Jing had previously sent him a text message to confirm that Jing Laosan had recovered. Now the two of them had already taken a helicopter back to Neverland.
He sent a message to Boss Jing.
Li Shu: [Boss Jing, fly a helicopter to Danguan City to pick us up.]
Boss Jing: [Okay, boss!]
Putting away the phone, Li Shu saw Xu Qian sitting on the right side of the back seat of the car with her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and smiled: "Xu Qian, don't worry, there is a 99.9% chance that you will enroll in Edelweiss International College." Already!".
"Ah, why?" Xu Qian suddenly looked at Li Shu, with a face full of disbelief: "Principal Li just kept stating that things are difficult to handle, and he must respect other people's opinions and so on."
"Ahem." Li Shu said with a smile: "What he said after that was all nonsense. He was trying to create a feeling that it was very difficult to deal with the matter, so that he could finally get it done, so that I could be more grateful to him. !
Think about it, if he directly said with a relaxed look: Things will be easy to handle. And the matter is settled with just a phone call, then we will also be grateful to him, but we will never be so grateful! ".
"But, senior, how can you judge..." Xu Qianxing looked at Li Shu with wide eyes and a little admiration. She was naturally very willing to believe what Li Shu said, but she was afraid of being happy in vain.
"It's very simple. His first reaction is the most real feeling!" Li Shu said with a smile: "Before we started eating, when I handed over the menu and said that you wanted to enter Edelweiss Academy, his expression was surprised and relaxed. What’s written—that’s it?”.
