Chapter 280
Chapter 280
Tao Meiling grew up in an ivory tower. When others were struggling to make ends meet, she had lived abroad for many years.
Two years ago, she was forcibly called back from abroad by her grandfather.
The old man always felt that as a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, she should look like a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, instead of wearing fancy clothes and playing with a group of foreigners abroad.
Tao Meiling, who had just returned to China, was not used to everything in China, so the old man asked Tao Meiling to work as an assistant in Shi Rongqing's laboratory.
She did not go to school in vain, and she did well in the laboratory.
Later, with the help of Shi Rongqing, Meng Changyue met Tao Meiling, and the two quickly fell in love.
At first, the Tao family was naturally unwilling, after all, Tao Meiling was the little princess of the Tao family and had lived a wealthy life since childhood.
It was completely different from Meng Changyue, a poor boy from the mountains.
Later, it was Mr. Meng who came forward and said that Meng Changyue was a descendant of his Meng family and that the Meng family would take care of him in the future. Only then did Mr. Tao reluctantly agree.
After Meng Changyue proposed to her twice this year, Tao Meiling finally agreed to marry him. Their wedding is tentatively scheduled for October 1st.
Tao Meiling was bewitched by Meng Changyue and secretly used her own private money to buy a small courtyard as a secret base for the two of them.
She drove the car, chattering about what she had seen and heard recently in the capital, and occasionally glanced at Meng Changyue.
"Changyue, what's wrong with you? Why do I feel like you're unhappy?"
"Nothing."
"You don't look like nothing's wrong. I'm your fiancée. Is there anything you can't tell me? Tell me now."
Meng Changyue pretended to be embarrassed and said after a long while, "My restaurant's business has been bad recently. Many customers have been poached. I'm afraid I can't pay this month's salary."
"Ah, how could this happen? Your restaurant has been open for more than a year, and there is no money on the books?"
Tao Meiling didn't think much when she asked this question. She just asked casually.
She didn't know that her question was like a knife, stabbing Meng Changyue's chest.
He wanted to curse Tao Meiling to death in his heart.
'You are so heartless for saying this. How much do you think I can make from running a restaurant in a year? Since I started dating you, my expenses have increased many times compared to before. '
'Do you know how much more expensive the things in Friendship Department Store are than outside? You always buy this and that, and I spend one or two thousand a month. '
'All the money I earn is spent on you. You paid 20,000 yuan for that broken courtyard house, and I spent 10,000 yuan on the decoration and home appliances. Do you think 10,000 yuan is easy to earn? '
'And I spent 20,000 yuan on jewelry and bags for you this time. What kind of person can afford to spend money like you?'
Meng Changyue regretted it so much at this moment. If he had known that the restaurant would have problems, he would never have dared to spend 20,000 yuan to make Tao Meiling happy.
Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now. Meng Changyue could only complain about Tao Meiling's squandering in his heart, but on the surface he looked affectionate and sad.
"Meiling, you know that I am dealing with clients from companies. Many companies only pay me once a month or three months. Now most of my money is out there."
"Suddenly, someone poached the client. I have no cash flow, so I can't pay the salary."
"Is that so? How much do you need? I'll give you some."
"It's still 5,000 yuan short."
"Changyue, your restaurant is only a little bit big, and the salary expenses are too high. The salary of our research laboratory is only 50 yuan a month."
Miss Tao, who is not worldly, is a love-brained person, but she is not a naive person. She still understands some things.
"In addition to the salary, the daily purchase of the restaurant is also a big expense."
"Is that so."
Tao Meiling is not interested in these things. When she returns to their home, she casually takes out 5,000 yuan from her dressing table and gives it to Meng Changyue.
"Thank you, my wife. I will pay you back as soon as possible."
"We will be husband and wife soon. Why do we have to be so clear?"
"I will run you a bath. You take a bath and rest. We will go to dinner later."
"Okay."
They had not seen each other for many days. Meng Changyue naturally wanted to take care of his wife first before going to Zuitaoyuan for dinner.
Due to this delay, they went there a little late.
"Sir, I'm sorry. All the private rooms are full. There is a table for two in the hall now."
Meng Changyue and Tao Meiling looked over the waiter's hand and saw a small table in the corner.
The table seemed small to them, but in fact,Four people can sit here, but Tao Meiling feels that the seat is too cramped.
"When will the private room be available?"
"That's not good. Many guests in the private room leave after 9 o'clock."
"Meiling, why don't we just make do with this? It's so late, and there will be a lot of people in other restaurants."
"Okay, then we'll make do with this."
The two sat down, and the waiter brought the menu. Meng Changyue looked through the menu carefully. The prices of the dishes on it varied greatly. There were cheap green vegetables at only 80 cents per serving, and expensive Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at 8 yuan per serving.
There was also abalone at 10 yuan per serving.
Anyway, if you come to Zui Taoyuan, you can eat cheap food or expensive food.
However, judging from the guests Meng Changyue saw when he came in just now, those who dare to eat here should be from wealthy families.
"I like to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. This dish is rare in our capital."
"Well, just order whatever you want."
Meng Changyue's confidence tonight all comes from the 5,000 yuan that Tao Meiling gave him.
After he came back from abroad, he only had more than 100 yuan in cash.
According to Tao Meiling's way of ordering dishes, he didn't have much confidence with this 100 yuan.
While waiting for the food, Meng Changyue saw Meng Haisheng sitting behind the cashier.
When he saw him for the first time, he almost didn't recognize him.
The two looked at each other, and Meng Haisheng smiled at Meng Changyue indifferently.
When Meng Changyue and Tao Meiling came in, Meng Haisheng saw Meng Changyue.
He thought, it seems that Meng Changyue has returned to China.
So the good show is now officially kicked off.
Meng Haisheng will return all the dirty tricks that Meng Changyue used on him bit by bit.
At this moment, Meng Changyue was just a little mouse in the hands of the old fox Meng Haisheng, who could tease him however he wanted.
Seeing Meng Changyue's expression change instantly, Meng Haisheng knew that he had come to his senses and guessed that he might be the owner of this restaurant.
"Meng Changyue, long time no see."
Meng Haisheng, holding the sour plum soup, walked up to Meng Changyue with a smile and greeted him.
