African Nationhood

Chapter 52 Frustrated
  As night falls, the service agency’s business hours end.

The curfew has been lifted in Anhai Town, but armed patrols around the town have never been lifted.

Therefore, at night, you can move freely inside the town, but in order to minimize the consumption of kerosene and candles.

Especially military camps and schools, which are key departments that consume resources.

Therefore, the Anhai Town Government stipulates that ordinary residents are not allowed to go out at night unless necessary. They can only travel after asking for leave if necessary.

Because Zheng Yuan wanted to go on a date with her boyfriend, and the reason was legitimate, Liu Endi, the president of the service club, happily agreed.

In addition, he generously wished the two of them a happy date. Zheng Yuan blushed with embarrassment and walked out of the service center amidst the laughter of the other sisters.

There was basically no one outside the door, except for a man carrying a lantern.

"get off work!"

Shi Ming, who was illuminated by the lights, was exceptionally tall. He strode over and directly took Zheng Yuan's little hand.

"Look, your hands are frozen. You should wear more clothes. How about you put on my clothes first?"

"Don't be like this, I'm not cold."

Zheng Yuan felt uncomfortable when her boyfriend held her hand directly at the door of the service club. She broke away from her boyfriend's rough hand and walked forward quickly.

Shi Ming didn't feel angry when he saw his girlfriend's shy attitude. He just felt that the atmosphere was particularly sweet. This might be the so-called "interest".

He had never felt like this when he was with that foreign woman.

Most of the time, they go to bed directly. Although the two of them don't understand each other, there is no need to communicate at all about things in bed between men and women.

After he finished venting, he basically wouldn't stay long, he would just pick up his pants and leave, and the foreign woman never stopped him.

Now that he has Zheng Yuan as his girlfriend, he truly feels the sweetness of love.

Seeing that his girlfriend was already waiting for him in front, Shi Ming followed quickly with a lantern in hand.

……

Sihai Restaurant is located on the coastal side of Anhai Town. It is a three-story building with an overall European layout.

Four big red lanterns were hung on the outer wall of the restaurant, with "Sihai Restaurant" written on them one after another.

European-style buildings paired with Chinese-style lanterns look neither fish nor fowl.

But to ordinary people, it just feels extraordinarily fresh, and the visual impact is perfect!
  Zheng Yuan did not escape her boyfriend's hand after all, and the two held hands for most of the journey.

After seeing the red lantern outside the restaurant, she forced herself away from her boyfriend and walked into the restaurant first.

Walking into the door of the restaurant, I saw that the lobby on the first floor was full of people in different costumes, most of them Chinese, and a few white people.

Although everyone speaks different languages, the dining atmosphere is still very harmonious.

Zheng Yuan stuck out her tongue, and then said to her boyfriend behind her: "There are a lot of people here."

Shi Ming pointed at his girlfriend, then blew out the lantern in his hand.

"Let's go in and find a seat."

The seats in the hall were basically full. Shi Ming looked at several waiters who were too busy to touch the floor. He paused and directly motioned to his girlfriend to go up to the second floor.

Zheng Yuan was a little scared, so she leaned closer to her boyfriend and asked in a low voice: "Isn't this good? Let's stay on the first floor. If it doesn't work, we can wait."

Shi Ming was stimulated by his girlfriend, and he burst out with pride, "What are you afraid of? It's just a restaurant, and it can eat us? Let's go!"

The staircase is wide and decorated with marble.

The stair handrails are also polished very smooth, and the outside is painted with imitation mahogany paint. The overall feeling is very luxurious and high-end.

Shi Ming felt a little beat up when he walked on it, but his girlfriend was still by his side. He couldn't lose face, so he kept encouraging himself in his heart and insisted on walking up.

Walking up to the second floor, Zheng Yuan became even more timid. She tightly grabbed her boyfriend's clothes and followed him step by step as if he were a thief.

"Sir, this is the box area. Which box number do you want to go to?"

The waiter suddenly appeared, startling the two of them. Fortunately, he had an evil spirit from being in the army for a long time, and this evil spirit kept him from being embarrassed in front of the waiter.

Shi Ming took a deep breath and turned back to look at the waiter.

"We want to eat. The seats below are all full. Is there any room left?" The Chinese waiter in a crisp dress looked them up and down. "Sir, I need to inform you in advance: there is a minimum consumption for the private rooms on the second floor. .”

Hearing these words, Shi Ming felt a fire well up in his heart. This was the inferiority complex buried deep in his heart.

He hooked up with foreign women, served as a soldier, and even found a girl from a landlord's family as his girlfriend, all in order to cover up his inferiority complex.

Now he was despised by a waiter. He angrily took out a stack of military tickets from his arms and shook it in front of the waiter's face, "Are these enough?"

When faced with the customer's question, the Chinese waiter showed no expression on his face and still said coldly: "It should be the minimum standard."

These words made Shi Ming furious. If he didn't still have military discipline in his heart, he would have done this guy long ago.

"Hurry up and find us an empty private room. Don't be stunned."

Zheng Yuan noticed something strange about her boyfriend. If she continued like this, she was afraid that her boyfriend would not be able to control her, so she ordered the Chinese waiter.

The Chinese waiter led them to the nearest private room, went in and lit the candles with a lighter, "You two, please!"

After saying that, the Chinese waiter left on his own.

Zheng Yuan took the initiative to hold her boyfriend's hand and pulled him into the box and sat on his seat.

She said softly: "Don't be angry. There is no need to vent your anger on him. We are here to have fun."

Shi Ming nodded, squeezed his girlfriend's hand, and then the two of them were silent.

After a while, the Chinese waiter came in again and handed a piece of paper, "This is the menu, please order."

Zheng Yuan saw that her boyfriend didn't move, so she stood up and took the menu.

I saw that the names of the dishes above were very fancy, such as peacock in full bloom and rich abalone pot, luxurious South African lobster sashimi, the best health-giving oysters...

The prices of these dishes are not low either, with the cheapest ones costing 299 yuan.

My boyfriend is just a senior sergeant, so he may not be able to afford the dishes above.

So Zheng Yuan put down the menu and asked softly: "Are there any cheaper dishes?"

The Chinese waiter's face turned cold and he said sarcastically: "Why are you pretending to be an uncle if you can't afford the food? You have to open a private room. It's too expensive to open a private room... Ouch, how can you hit someone?"

Shi Ming couldn't stand listening anymore, and he got angry and kicked this arrogant guy down.

Then I wanted to add some extra kick, but my girlfriend held me back.

Zheng Yuan was shocked. She grabbed her boyfriend and advised him: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!"

After Shi Ming finished kicking the man, he regretted it in his heart. His girlfriend pulled him, and he also walked down the slope and stopped.

But the Chinese waiter was unreasonable and shouted regardless, "Someone killed someone, someone killed someone..."

This roar shocked everyone upstairs and downstairs.

Not long after, the door of the box was crowded with people, and people outside the crowd who didn't know the truth squeezed in even more desperately, wanting to know the details and watch the excitement.

The people inside were even more rude, saying, "Why are you squeezing? Why are you squeezing? You are rushing to reincarnate."

Zheng Yuan was so frightened that she almost shrank into a quail, while Shi Ming's face was livid, his heart was filled with panic, and he didn't know how to end it.

The Chinese waiter continued to play up his role as the victim, blaming Shi Ming and Zheng Yuan with his hands.

The crowd was full of guys who were gloating about their misfortune, and they also started to sarcastically say: "I really burned a couple of dollars and I don't know what my last name is. This is where you run wild?

I'll let you know how awesome our Boss Wang is later! "

……

Shi Ming has understood that this restaurant is the property of Boss Shi's popular boss Wang Tiewang. It would be difficult for him to hurt someone in his restaurant.

It didn't matter that he was being punished, he just had to implicate his new girlfriend. He really regretted it at this moment.

"Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way. Mr. Shi asked me to investigate this matter. Mr. Shi has spoken. If you don't get out of the way, all the onlookers will be arrested!"

Shi Ming heard the shouts of the people outside, and the flame of hope immediately rose in his heart. Mr. Shi will definitely give me justice!
