Chapter 71: Who’s Paying The Bill
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Yu Jiangnan Restaurant was the most famous restaurant under the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce.
The restaurant was near Baihua Lake, not far from the People’s Hospital. The head chef there was said to have been the provincial imperial chef who used to cook for the capital.
They had to book three tables in advance to go there.
It was only a department director like her who had a relatively wide network of connections in a hospital. Otherwise, she might not have been able to get a reservation.
However, she could forget about a private room. It was too difficult to book a private room for dinner there.
When everyone found out that they were going to eat at the restaurant, they were instantly filled with energy.
“We can have a good meal tonight.1‘
“I haven’t been to the Jiangnan Restaurant yet. I heard that the taste there is superb.”
This time, even the interns could go with them. The interns were also extremely excited.
Huang Hua’s student, Zhang Yao, said, “This is awesome! We can actually go to the Jiangnan Restaurant for dinner tonight. Who do you think will pay for this meal?”
“It should be the department.” Someone guessed.
Zhang Yao couldn’t help but say to Lin Dong’s intern, Tan Ya,
“Tanya, we went to the Jiangnan Restaurant this time in the name of welcoming your teacher.”
“If you ask me, your teacher will treat you!”
“However, I don’t think your teacher has the money. The department had to foot the bill for him. This looked very shabby.”
Tan Ya coughed dryly and said, “This kind of thing isn’t something that we interns should discuss.”
“Why can’t we discuss it? What I said is the truth. If you follow such a shabby teacher, you won’t have a future.”
At this point, Zhang Yao suddenly put on a bragging expression and continued, “Unlike me, you donT know the benefits of following Huang Hua laoshi.” “I’ve actually been to the Jiangnan Restaurant once before. Teacher Huang Hua brought me there last time. The food there is really delicious. I’ll never forget it…”
“Oh right, Teacher Huang Hua is introducing houses to the department this time. I’m also going to persuade my parents to buy one for me.”
She was a native of Jianghai City, and her parents were both employees of a unit. She was from a well-off family.
Therefore, even if Zhang Yao was only in the internship stage, she could still buy a house with her family.
Unlike Tan Ya, who came from the countryside, buying a house was too far away for her.
However, Tan Ya was in a good mood. She felt that the house and external enjoyment were not that important. The most important thing now was to learn skills during the internship.
Facing Zhang Yao’s show off, she did not feel the slightest bit of envy.
This kind of thing was not worthy of her envy!
She shook her head and quickly followed Lin Dong to see the patient.
She had been following Lin Dong for the past few days and had learned a lot.
What Lin Dong said was really useful. She could now treat some simple illnesses according to what Lin Dong had said.
Time was like fine sand, picked up from the palm of his hand and passed through his fingertips.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening. When they got off work, a few doctors and nurses who were on duty that day stayed in the department. The others took off their white coats and went to rhe Jiangnan Restaurant.
Soon, everyone arrived outside the restaurant.
In the entire department, other than the people on duty, there were more than
30 people.
After entering, they arrived at the hotel lobby.
There were many tables in the hall. Qiao Bing led the group to the two tables they had booked.
Because there were too many people, even two tables were a little crowded.
Qiao Bing put rhe two tables together and asked the restaurant to bring a few more stools so that everyone could sit down.
Huang Hua was a little dissatisfied and showed it on his face.
“Director, who’s paying for this dinner?” he asked Qiao Bing.”
“The department.” Qiao Bing directly replied that it was a gathering, so of course the department would pay for it.
Hearing this, Huang Hua became even more dissatisfied. He protested, “Director, we’re here to welcome Lin Dong.”
“Asking the department to foot rhe bill is like taking all of our bonuses to help him treat.”
“That’s right.” When the others heard this, they echoed.
“This way, our bonus this month will be reduced.”
“Sigh, I’m eating this meal with my bonus. I suddenly feel that even rhe
Jiangnan Restaurant isn’t delicious anymore!”
These people all wanted to live for free and were unwilling to use the bonus money given by the department to eat this meal.
Huang Hua’s lips curled up into a smile as he looked at Lin Dong and taunted, “Lin Dong, you should be treating this time. After all, we’re here to welcome you!”
“Are you embarrassed to ask everyone to spend money?”
Lin Dong pursed his lips. “I can treat you, but I’m not going to treat you, Huang Huai-
Huang Hua’s body stiffened, and his expression was particularly ugly. He said in a deep voice,
“Alright, 1’11 pay for it myself. 1 don’t need your treat, and 1 don’t lack this bit of money! However, you have to spend money on everyone’s share, right?”
Lin Dong nodded his head. He had a few million dollars in his hands now, so treating everyone to a meal was nothing.
After all, they were all future colleagues!
Thinking of this, he nodded.
As soon as he said this, Huang Hua’s lips curled up as if his plan had succeeded.
He thought to himself, Lin Dong, I’ll make sure you can’t get off the stage this time!!”
He felt that Lin Dong probably didn’t have much money in his pocket, and if he couldn’t pay the bill, he would be a laughing stock..
