King of Technology: A Fresh Start in 1983

Chapter 88, Let's Talk About Personal Matters First

Lin Yidan immediately stood up as well: "Sorry, I let it slip again. That incident left a deep impression on me."

"I'll go. You probably don't know how to order. You can just hold the seats."

Seeing that Zhang Wei still refused to sit down, she said again, "Don't worry, I'll give you the invoice after I've finished buying it, okay?"

Zhang Wei then nodded and sat down.

After waiting for a while, Lin Yidan finally returned with her tray.

It has a Big Mac, a Filet-O-Fish, two large fries, and two large Cokes.

Zhang Wei glanced furtively at the menu on his plate; the most expensive item was the Big Mac on the first line, costing 6.30 yuan.

I guess it's that guy who's piled up like a small hill right next to me.

Then, he glanced at the other items on the plate…

The six items on this plate should cost at most forty yuan!

Zhang Wei let out a long breath and confidently picked up the behemoth in front of him with both hands.

But here's the problem!

He suddenly realized he didn't know how to eat this little hill; he simply didn't know where to begin...

After thinking about it, to avoid embarrassment or making a fool of myself again, I put the Big Mac down again.

I plan to observe Lin Yidan's eating habits first, and then imitate them.

To Zhang Wei's regret and frustration, Lin Yidan deliberately ignored the Filet-O-Fish that was right in front of her.

Instead, he first pulled a French fry out of the bag, dipped it in ketchup, and then put it in his mouth.

He then made conversation by saying, "You don't know much about our Tiangong, do you?"

While eating fries, Lin Yidan shook her head: "Let's talk about personal matters first, we can discuss business later."

Zhang Wei pondered for a moment, thinking he understood perfectly.

He quickly replied, "To thank you for your help, in addition to the service fee or writing fee, our company will also cover your travel expenses and meal allowance."

"Actually, these are all formalities; the main purpose is to express our feelings."

To everyone's surprise, Lin Yidan shook her head again, then picked up the Filet-O-Fish, took a bite, and mumbled, "This is still business, we'll talk about it later."

Now Zhang Wei was completely uncertain!

If even private money-giving becomes official business, then what can be considered private?

Clearly, this is just an excuse.

He was speechless, unsure how to respond.

Seeing Lin Yidan take a bite of the Filet-O-Fish, he immediately picked up the Big Mac in front of him…

Just as he opened his mouth wide, imitating her, he heard Lin Yidan say again, "Tell me about yourself!"

"Stop talking about work all the time, like you're some selfless saint. Can't you chat a little more?"

Zhang Wei suddenly realized what was going on and nodded quickly.

Lin Yidan then asked, "Which school did you go to?"

Zhang Wei quickly replied, "Tsinghua University."

Lin Yidan was taken aback, her eyes widened, and she looked him up and down: "Oh, a prestigious school, my apologies for not recognizing you."

"But I really didn't realize it. Zhan Yiling only told me you were from Tiangong Company. What did you study?"

Zhang Wei answered truthfully: "Computer."

Lin Yidan nodded with a wry smile: "No wonder, dealing with machines all day long, you've become a robot. Hey, where are you from?"

Zhang Wei answered while chewing on his hamburger, "Southern Anhui, near Jiangxi Province..."

"Really? You live in a lake? Is it Taibai Lake, Huangni Lake, or Badu Lake?"

Lin Yidan was clearly dissatisfied with Zhang Wei's answer and couldn't help but retort.

Zhang Wei took a big gulp of cola, instantly feeling refreshed and in high spirits. He smiled and said:

"Your geography is really good. You not only know that there are lakes in our area, but you also know about Taibai Lake, Huangni Lake, and Badu Lake."

Lin Yidan glanced at her sideways: "Isn't that a veiled compliment? Knowing these basic facts is what makes you great?"

Is this discrimination against students from non-elite universities? Or against liberal arts students? Or against girls?

"Oh... I see, you're discriminating against liberal arts girls from non-prestigious universities, am I right?"

"No, no, how could I dare? I just really think you're good at geography. I don't live in the lake area, I live by the lake."

"Why don't you just say Dongzhi County directly? Why go through all this trouble? Are you afraid I'll rob your house?"

Lin Yidan glanced at Zhang Wei again: "No wonder you're so tall and strong yet have such fair skin, it must be from eating so much fish."

What did Zhang Weigang want to say...?

Lin Yidan asked again, "How many years have you been out of school?"

"Four years."

"Impossible! We're not on a blind date, why would you lie about your age? You look at least three years older than me."

"Why would I lie to you? I really did graduate in 1988, and I'm twenty-six years old this year. See for yourself..."

As he spoke, Zhang Wei took out his ID card from his wallet and held it out to Lin Yidan.

Lin Yidan glanced at it: "Sorry, sorry, but I really didn't realize you looked so much more mature than in the photos."

Zhang Wei ignored her, put away his ID card, took a bite of his hamburger, and then drank a sip of his cola.

After a while, Lin Yidan said sarcastically, "Oh, so university students from prestigious universities are so high and mighty!"

"No, what... what happened to me now?"

"After showing off, don't you want to know anything about other people's situations?"

Zhang Wei quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and asked with a smile, "So, which school do you go to?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Yidan retorted, "Hey, don't you know the rules?"

"Students from prestigious universities can't just ask others what school they went to. You're clearly bullying those from non-prestigious universities!"

"This...that..."

Zhang Wei, who was always in trouble, didn't know what to say after hearing Lin Yidan's words.

He just didn't know how to bring up the topic of dealing with the Giant.

Now he didn't know how to bring up the topic, how to deal with Lin Yidan, who was covered in thorns.

Helpless, I might as well just keep quiet.

Seeing this, Lin Yidan felt that there was nothing more private matter between the two of them to discuss.

He then asked with a smile, "Hey, what's the main idea of ​​the article your company wants to publish? Tell me about it."

Zhang Wei immediately perked up, wiped his mouth, and said, "Actually, we haven't figured out which point to choose yet."

"So, is it about promoting the 'Xuanyuan' brand or promoting our Tiangong? We'd like to hear your professional opinion."

Upon hearing Zhang Wei's words, Lin Yidan quickly shook her head: "Promote your company? What are you promoting? How many computers have you sold, how many agents have you signed?"

"Readers wouldn't be interested!"

"Besides, there are plenty of companies that sell far more computers than you and have signed far more agency agreements."

"Readers are interested in which companies have had bad things happen and scandals; they care about gossip and rumors, not good deeds."

"As for promoting your General Manager Chen, if I may be so bold, what's so remarkable about him?"

"Where do we put all those big shots and entrepreneurs from companies like Great Wall, Lenovo, Inspur, and Founder?"

"Many people from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and universities in Zhongguancun are far more capable than your CEO, Mr. Chen."

"If Zhan Yiling hadn't mentioned it, who would have known about Tiangong and Chen Jianghe?"
