The second and third floors of the Indeed-based restaurant each had a seat by the window. The view there was the best place in the entire Indeed-based restaurant, and these two seats were something that even regular customers would not be able to cross over, because these seats were reserved by Cheng Chen, left by himself to entertain his friends. Only his friends would be able to take these two seats, and with two seats normally reserved for ordinary customers, no matter how many people there were and how few friends he had, Cheng Chen would still let the two seats be empty.
This time, Yang Zhi brought the Zhou sisters to eat. This was the seat that Cheng Chen had arranged for them.
Yang Zhi asked the protagonist, Zhou Xiaoxiao, to order first. However, when she opened the menu and looked at the expensive dishes on it, she could not say anything, because the price was simply too scary. She felt that no matter what she wanted to order, she would feel a sense of guilt, so she said to Yang Zhi: "Brother-in-law, you should still order, I'll eat whatever you want."
Seeing Zhou Xiaoxiao's cowardly look, Yang Zhi helplessly looked at Zhou Xiao Wen and asked, "Why don't you order some food for Xiao Xiao?"
Zhou Xiao Wen slightly nodded her head. She was also surprised by the price when she flipped open the menu, but she, who knew a little about Yang Zhi, endured her guilt and ordered a few more expensive dishes in a vengeful manner.
The restaurant was very efficient. After waiting for a while, the three of them started to serve the dishes.
Zhou Xiaoxiao had not eaten or drank anything for a whole day, so it was impossible for her not to be hungry. Now that she was feeling a little better, she had an appetite, and adding that the western cuisine in the English and German restaurants were impeccable, she ate with gusto, looking like she was turning grief and indignation into appetite.
Halfway through eating, Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing? Do you come here often to eat? "
Yang Zhi laughed: "I started my own company. I used to have a few businesses in the United States, but now I have moved them all back to China. This restaurant was opened by a friend of mine. If I occasionally treat someone to a meal, I will bring a friend here as well. "
"AHH!" Trans-national trade! No wonder brother-in-law is so rich. "
After Zhou Xiaoxiao heard this, she was completely shocked. She did not expect that this man who looked just like his sister was already the owner of the company.
"Brother-in-law must have invested a lot of money in his family."
Zhou Xiaoxiao believed that her brother-in-law must be a fuerdai who relied on her family's investments to do national trade after she returned from studying abroad.
"No, I'm an orphan."
Yang Zhi laughed: "Alright, stop scolding me. Let me talk about you."
Zhou Xiaoxiao pouted and said: "What do I have to say, it's already like this …"
Yang Zhi looked at Zhou Xiao Wen and said to Xiao Xiao: "Your sister graduated from the police academy. No matter what, the police academy still has some connections, why don't you go take the test?"
Once he mentioned this, a trace of loneliness appeared on Zhou Xiaoxiao's face. "I'm not such a bookworm like elder sister. My cultural lessons are so bad, and I didn't even get into the police academy this year, let alone next year."
Yang Zhi thoughtfully nodded his head. Before he came, he had heard Zhou Xiao Wen say that his sister was similar to her in everything, but just that her studies were very poor, and that she was in stark contrast to her. It was because she did not pass the police academy that she wanted to directly enlist in the army.
Yet, at this moment, he was being squeezed out by his contacts. No one would be able to accept this.
But then, Yang Zhi asked with some doubt: "I remember that in the past, every year, during the assessment, they would not recruit enough people. Why are there still so many contacts this year?"
In the past, Yang Zhi had considered becoming a soldier in the past, so he had a certain understanding of this area. In a large city like Tiannan City, the number of recruitment slots in the city every year were split into different sectors, with only about a hundred or so city soldiers recruited every year.
"That's a male soldier you're talking about."
Zhou Xiao Wen explained to Yang Zhi from the side: "Currently, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. The children in the large cities are all provided to be raised and no parents are willing to let their children join the army.
"But the female soldiers are different. There are always gaps in the number of female soldiers in the army, and after last year's Ministry of Military Disarmament Program, the welfare of the soldiers has increased by a lot. The same goes for the female soldiers. "Now, when girls go into the army, they are basically all civilian. There are very few combat troops, and after retiring from the army, it's also convenient for them to enter the police and government departments. Therefore, female soldiers are very popular and have a large number of applicants every year."
So that's how it is, Yang Zhi suddenly understood and nodded his head, "Oh, that's right, I have an uncle who works in the Tiannan Military Region. I will ask him if I can squeeze out a spot."
Yang Zhi thought of Uncle Hua. The Tiannan Military Region should still have some relation with him, should he help to bring Zhou Xiaoxiao in?
Hearing Yang Zhi's words, Zhou Xiaoxiao said in surprise, "Really?"
Yang Zhi laughed: "Of course it's true, but if you enter the army, there will definitely be some gossip. You have to eat and train properly, there's even a medical examination in the army, if you do not get repatriated, then don't blame me."
Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly nodded her head: "I will try my best! Eat well! "
Her older sister Zhou Xiao Wen laughed with gratitude: "It's good that you know how to work hard, don't be so busy talking, eat some more."
At this time, a group of three people came up from the stairs and sat at a table beside the Zhou sisters. Among the three of them, there were two middle-aged men and a girl, who looked to be around eighteen to nineteen years old.
At the same time, she cordially said to the middle-aged man with glasses in front of her: "Director Liu, please order first. This restaurant is the best western restaurant in our Tiannan City, especially their cold western steak.
The bespectacled middle-aged man sucked in a breath of cold air after seeing the price of the cold steak on the menu. He felt surprised and at the same time, he smiled at the woman, "Lady Dan, you're too courteous. We're friends, we don't need to eat in such a good restaurant. I feel embarrassed and apprehensive."
My husband is a senior member of this restaurant, and it's the same as ours. You've helped our family with such a big favor, including our family's Jiao Jiao on the list, and our family's Du said that we should thank you personally. It's just that he's currently in the United States discussing a project and hasn't come back yet, so he told me to treat you well.
The middle-aged man stroked the Zhonghai on his forehead and laughed: "It's just a small matter, there's no need to be so polite. Chief Chen is the same, why are you acting so formal."
The stout woman smiled and said, "Children's business is the biggest thing. To you, it may be just a small matter. It is indeed the most important thing to our family."
After saying that, the stout woman's hand stroked the back of the little girl beside her, "Old Du said that he will arrange for Jiao Jiao to enter the government once she retires. If she is assigned to the Department of Armed Forces, please take care of her."
"Definitely! We are all friends! "
Originally, Yang Zhi was not in the mood to eavesdrop on other people's conversation, but when he heard the words' retirement, Department of Armed Forces', he could not help but take a glance. Zhou Xiaoxiao had also heard the conversation at the other party's table.
Seeing Zhou Xiaoxiao's surprised face, Yang Zhi frowned and asked: "Xiao Xiao, do you know them?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao turned around, and her expression instantly became very low. She nodded slightly and said softly: "That girl is called Du Jiaojiao, she's my classmate, the woman beside her is her mother, and the man seated opposite her is Recruitment Office's Director Liu."
Hearing Zhou Xiao Xiao's words, combined with the words that they had unintentionally heard, Yang Zhi and Zhou Xiao Wen immediately understood that the girl who did not look too much, named Du Jiaojiao, was one of the people that got along with him.
