My Super Beautuful Secretary - C303
After the waiter had finished eating, Ruan Xiao Yu looked at Yang Zhi and asked in astonishment: “Hey, Xiao Yang, look at how upright you were just now. Did you serve in the army before? The American army? ”
Yang Zhi felt a little awkward, he had actually exposed himself as a horse just now due to his nervousness, he had truly miscalculated!
However, he smiled and said, “I served in the United States Marine Corps before, and then went on missions in the Middle East and North Africa for two years. Many soldiers have retained their habits and habits.”
Zhou Zetian was surprised: “Little Yang, you have been to the battlefield before!”
Yang Zhi turned his head and decided to continue lying, “It’s just the second line of troops, the main force in the battlefield is not us new recruits, they are all part of the Marine Corps’ sharp blade army. We just want to occupy the city and take responsibility of patrolling the area, and we haven’t fired a single shot in the past two years.”
“That’s not easy!”
Zhou Zetian’s eyes shone with a golden light, he was in his forties yet he looked like a hot-blooded youth, “When I was young! Just think of being a soldier! The best thing would be to clean up the monkeys in the south! And the Indians! “It’s a pity I didn’t get into the army because of my myopia.”
Ruan Xiaoyu pushed her husband away with a smile. “If you were to go, I might be a widow.”
“Sigh, how could it be!”
Zhou Zetian shouted, causing everyone to laugh out loud.
Ruan Xiaoyu changed the topic and asked Yang Zhi, “Xiao Yang, I heard that your current company was founded in the United States? Did you move back home after that? ”
Yang Zhi smiled slightly: “I did some things with a few of my old comrades, but there are a lot of restrictions on Chinese in foreign countries, so I decided to move back.”
Ruan Xiao Yu saw that Yang Zhi’s answer was vague, although she was curious, she did not ask any further, but only nudged her husband under the table with her leg, then stood up and said: “I’ll go to the bathroom.”
When Ruan Xiao Yu stood up and left, Zhou Zetian who had reacted to the situation also stood up and said: “I will go too.”
The two of them left the place one after another, leaving behind only Yang Zhi who seemed to be deep in thought and the unfathomable Zhou Xiaoxue.
When Ning Yan and Liu Tingting saw the two coming over, they were so shocked that they lowered their heads and shifted their gaze to the menu on the table. Their eyes, however, were looking in the direction of Mr and Zhou’s mother.
When Mr and Mrs Zhou entered the bathroom one after the other, the mother and daughter heaved a sigh of relief. However, they did not immediately raise their heads and continued to pretend to look at the menu, at least until the other two people came out.
When Zhou Zetian came to the washroom, Ruan Xiao Yu was already waiting for him. Seeing Zhou Zetian coming over, he anxiously went up and whispered into his ear: “When we settle the bill later, don’t look at the numbers on there with a bitter face, think more about your two daughters and your daughter’s dowry.”
Zhou Zetian looked at his wife helplessly: “Do I look like that kind of person who doesn’t know what’s important and what isn’t? However, I’m guessing that brat will still fight over the bill with me when the time comes. ”
Ruan Xiao Yu said, “Even if he wants to snatch the bill, you must have it! The first time we officially met, we let a young man treat us. It’s too bad. Don’t look back and think that our Zhou family will be fine. ”
Zhou Zetian nodded his head, “Don’t worry, I checked it many times before leaving. I have it with me, it’s definitely enough!”
Only then did Ruan Xiaoyu relax and said, “I’ll go back first. You go to the restroom and come back later.”
With that, Ruan Xiao Yu walked out first. Zhou Zetian could only obediently go into the men’s room and pee, and he waited for another minute before coming out.
When Zhou Zetian returned, the mother and daughter pair heaved a sigh of relief.
Yang Zhi noticed that the red wine served by the waiter did not seem to be the one he had ordered, but it looked a little familiar, so he was unable to remember what the name was. After a while, the waiter opened the bottle and explained, “Mr. Yang, this bottle of wine was given to us by our boss, it is from the Scarlet Wine House of France.
Yang Zhi did not know much about red wine, but since it could be used like Cheng Chen’s eyes, then it would definitely not be an ordinary red wine. He immediately laughed: “Alright, Owner Cheng will treat us to a meal, I must have a good taste.”
After the dishes were served, the waiter left. Only then did Zhou Zetian make use of this time to ask curiously: “Xiao Yang, are you familiar with the boss here?”
“Yeah, we’ve done a lot of business together now.”
Yang Zhi laughed blandly: “You guys should try it too, Owner Cheng’s wine collection is definitely not inferior to Lafite’s.”
“Oh ~ Although I really want to finish the essence in one gulp, I’m still driving. Drink less, just one or two cups.”
Zhou Zetian pursed his lips, obviously Yang Zhi’s words had triggered the Liquor worm in his stomach.
Yang Zhi nodded his head, laughed and stopped drinking his wine: “I toast to uncle and aunt.”
Zhou Xiao Wen immediately raised her glass with a flushed face, but realized that the three of them were looking at her, and knew that she had done something wrong, but could only stutter: “I … I’m with him… To Mom and Dad. ”
Ruan Xiaoyu looked at her daughter’s rosy cheeks that had yet to drink, and lightly smiled. She did not say anything, and just carried her wine cup up to her throat. Zhou Zetian, who was standing by the side, also raised his wine cup and laughed as he said: “Xiao Wen, you still have to work tomorrow, so drink less.”
Although the few of them did not know much about red wine, their combined taste was superb. The taste of the dishes were also very good, especially the steak, it completely overturned Zhou Zetian’s understanding of steak and beef. It was also the first time Zhou Zetian realized that beef could actually taste this good!
The taste and taste of this steak is on a whole new level compared to the local restaurants that attracted couples!
He looked at his wife and saw that the expression on Ruan Xiaoyu’s face was not any less than his own.
The two of them had toiled hard for most of their lives, but this was the first time they had eaten in such a high class Western Restaurant. Looking at Yang Zhi and Zhou Xiao Wen opposite of them, they started to feel a little absent-minded.
Compared to Mr and Mother Zhou, Yang Zhi and Zhou Xiao Wen were much more natural. In the past, Yang Zhi did not eat a lot of Western cuisine when he was in Europe and the United States. On the contrary, it was extremely difficult for him to eat a proper Chinese cuisine.
When it was almost done, Yang Zhi got the waiter to remove the steak on his plate and started chatting harmoniously at the table. However, in the end, it became a conversation between Ruan Xiao Yu and Zhou Xiao Wen, the mother and daughter, in a low voice. Yang Zhi and Zhou Zetian talked to each other.
Zhou Zetian was very interested in the United States Marine Corps’ service period, especially the Middle East and North Africa battlefields. He kept asking Yang Zhi about the details of the war, and Yang Zhi answered some of his questions seriously, but fortunately, Yang Zhi had helped the United Nations army in North Africa when he was a mercenary, and there were quite a few old American Marines among his friends, such as Zhou Wen. Thus, his understanding of the war and the United States Army must have been much deeper than this half-army noob, especially the lively description of the war.
When Zhou Zetian found out that Yang Zhi had fought in the North African battlefield since he was seventeen, as well as some of the difficulties and encounters he had at the beginning, he couldn’t help but sigh in admiration towards this youngster’s experiences. When he heard how Yang Zhi and the others had relied on their human intelligence to solve most of the problems in such a poor environment in North Africa, he couldn’t help but praise him.
Even Zhou Zetian said, “Listening to you speak like this, as a person who grew up in a peaceful era, I can’t help but feel a surge of emotions. It is hard to imagine what kind of emotional changes you all experienced at that time, and I really admire you all.
Suddenly, Zhou Zetian thought of something. “Oh yes, I heard that the war will leave psychological repercussions for some people, and are extremely frightening as well?”
Yang Zhi nodded his head, as his expression turned grave: “The aftermath of the war is very cruel, it’s as if he’s always putting a person on the battlefield. No matter where he wakes up, he would feel like he’s left the battlefield, and even made some instinctive reactions. I had a comrade of mine who couldn’t bear the torture of the aftermath of the war, and chose to euthanize himself to death.”
Zhou Zetian never thought that Yang Zhi would have such a past. He quickly apologized, “I didn’t know that you had such a past, I’m so sorry!”
