Chapter 30 I'll Treat You to Dinner
Ma Junjie only took 5 minutes, sprinting at the speed of a 100-meter dash, to reach the cafeteria.
It was still too late.
The cafeteria lady gave the last dish to the person in front of her.
"Clang, clang!" The old woman slammed her iron spoon against the plate of vegetables, making a deafening noise.
The person in front of him, holding a bowl piled high with vegetables, glanced at Ma Junjie with a deliberately showy look.
Then leave quickly.
Ma Junjie was somewhat disappointed.
My stomach also started rumbling at the worst possible time, as if in protest.
Looks like there's no other way but to eat out.
However, food outside costs 3 to 5 yuan more, which is an extra expense.
Ma Junjie was sullen.
He cursed Zhang Jun in his heart.
After thinking about it, I belatedly realized why Zhang Jun had suddenly given me an extra task just before I was about to leave work.
This is clearly someone deliberately messing with themselves!
"Damn it, you son of a bitch!" Ma Junjie cursed angrily as he walked out of the cafeteria.
Just as I stepped out of the cafeteria, I suddenly heard someone call my name.
"Hey, hey!"
Ma Junjie looked up.
I saw a girl wearing a white T-shirt, blue skinny jeans, and a ponytail staring at me.
Ma Junjie was a little confused and asked...
"Did you call me?"
The girl chuckled and said,
"You don't recognize me, Assistant Liu, just because I changed my clothes?"
Ma Junjie looked the girl over again; he couldn't believe he hadn't noticed her in the warehouse before.
Assistant Liu has an absolutely stunning figure!
Her slender, shapely legs, her pert, rounded buttocks, and her breasts that stand high like mountain peaks...
There was also a white T-shirt, with a glimpse of black underwear underneath.
With her youthful and sunny smile and ponytail, she looks just like a true campus beauty.
"Hey, did you finish eating so quickly?" Assistant Liu asked.
Ma Junjie snapped out of his daze and answered.
"Don't go, the last one inside was already taken by the person in front of me!"
"Huh? It's gone so quickly?" Assistant Liu looked surprised.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then muttered to himself.
"Hmm, I need to report this to my superiors!"
Ma Junjie said dismissively.
"Assistant Liu, I advise you not to bother, it's useless!"
As he spoke, he walked out of the factory on his own.
Upon seeing this, Assistant Liu quickly chased after him and asked,
"Hey, where are you going now?"
"Let's eat. Where else can we go?" Ma Junjie replied.
"I...I know, I'm asking you, where should we eat?" Assistant Liu asked.
Ma Junjie thought for a moment and then answered directly.
"I'll go wherever it's cheapest. I just arrived, haven't been paid yet, and I'm broke!"
Upon hearing this, Assistant Liu stared wide-eyed at Ma Junjie.
Then he suddenly spoke up.
"Hehe, how about this, I'll treat you to a meal!"
"If you hadn't suddenly appeared today, that big rat would probably have scared me half to death!"
Ma Junjie stared at Assistant Liu for a few moments, then asked...
"Are you serious?"
"Absolutely true!"
Ma Junjie waved his hand again.
"Never mind, I'll go by myself. I need to hurry, I have to go to work after I finish eating!"
Assistant Liu smiled.
"Let's go, I know a restaurant that serves food really fast, it won't take up your time, and it's also very cheap!"
Ma Junjie was tempted, and after thinking about it...
"Alright, let's go!"
Assistant Liu laughed.
"Okay, let's hurry, you follow me!"
The two walked quickly toward the food street outside the factory, one after the other.
After walking for a few minutes and crossing a road, Assistant Liu stopped in front of a hotel.
"Let's go in!"
"Here?" Ma Junjie asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, let's go in, the food here comes out very quickly!"
Ma Junjie hesitated. He thought Assistant Liu was going to take him to a roadside stall, but instead he was brought to the hotel.
This hotel is arguably the best one near the factory.
A meal like that would definitely be very expensive.
But Assistant Liu kept urging him on.
"Hurry up and come in, or you'll be late!"
Ma Junjie had no choice but to follow them inside.
As soon as I entered, a waiter came to greet me.
As soon as the receptionist saw Assistant Liu, she called the waiter aside and went to greet him herself.
"Miss Liu, you've arrived!"
"What should we eat today?"
Assistant Liu looked at Ma Junjie and said,
"What would you like to eat? Order whatever you like!"
Ma Junjie glanced down at the menu on the table. Wow, these were all fancy dishes.
So he said,
"Boss, bring me whatever dishes come out quickly and are cheap. I'm not picky!"
Upon hearing this, the boss gave an awkward, wry smile and looked at Assistant Liu.
"Miss Liu, this..."
Assistant Liu smiled and explained,
"We're all hungry and in a hurry, so..."
"Okay, boss, you can arrange it for us. Whatever you cook, we'll eat it, but the main thing is to cook it quickly!"
The boss nodded and replied.
"Okay, I understand!"
And confirmed again,
"Miss Liu, is it just the two of you?"
"Yes!"
The boss went into the kitchen to order.
Ma Junjie and his assistant Liu sat down. There were only a few tables of guests scattered around the lobby.
At this moment, Assistant Liu asked Ma Junjie,
"By the way, after all this time, I still don't know your name?"
"Ma Junjie," Ma Junjie replied succinctly.
"Oh, a wise person knows when to yield; 'wise person' means talented person. What a great name!"
He then introduced himself,
"By the way, my name is Liu Bingbing, Bing as in pure and flawless. I'm just 21 years old and recently graduated from university!"
Ma Junjie glanced at Liu Bingbing.
Nodding, he sighed.
"Hello, college students!"
"I was admitted to university before, but I didn't have the money to study, so I came here to work."
Liu Bingbing looked at Ma Junjie and said,
"What a pity! You should have been a university student too!"
Ma Junjie shook his head and said with a wry smile,
"Assistant Liu, please don't say that. I understand that this is fate, and I don't feel regretful at all."
He added,
"My family was too poor, and I only managed to finish high school by sheer luck. I'm already very grateful to have finished high school!"
As Liu Bingbing listened, her gaze towards Ma Junjie suddenly changed.
At this moment, the waiter shouted loudly,
"The food is served!"
After saying that, he placed the dishes on the table.
Ma Junjie looked over and saw that it was a stir-fried beef dish.
When Ma Junjie saw meat, especially beef, he couldn't help but swallow.
Liu Bingbing smiled silently, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and handed them to Ma Junjie.
"Ah Jie, please eat up, don't be shy."
Ma Junjie was already used to Liu Bingbing calling him A-Jie.
In Guangdong, people often address others with the prefix "Ah".
It is said that this expresses a sense of intimacy.
Ma Junjie took the chopsticks, filled a bowl with rice, thought for a moment, and then handed it to Liu Bingbing first.
Then, he got another bowl of rice and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Seeing Ma Junjie wolfing down his food, Liu Bingbing couldn't help but laugh.
"Slow down, don't choke!"
Ma Junjie stammered,
"This beef is so...so tender!"
"Assistant Liu, why...why haven't you eaten yet?"
Liu Bingbing smiled slightly and said,
"You eat first, eat more, there's still some food left, I'll wait a bit!"
Ma Junjie didn't think much of it and quickly finished the large bowl of rice...
