Chunshen City is an international metropolis, and there are quite a few foreigners living here. The occasional presence of a few foreigners who speak Chinese well in restaurants is not noticeable at all.
The reason why Jin Min reacted to this name was because he happened to know a man named Alvaro De Luca.
The person she knew was a famous Italian chef, who had been mentioned frequently by her father for a while, because he was once a competitor in restaurant competitions. She didn't pay special attention to the other person's appearance, but she remembered the name.
When she heard that the person who came in was also called by this name, she immediately showed an interesting expression and looked at him curiously. The middle-aged man didn't pay much attention to her, but was led directly to a seat by the waiter.
Jin Min originally wanted to pay attention to what they were doing here, but then Yin Lian came out. When he saw her, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What a coincidence. Why are you here?"
Jin Min said: "I was drinking tea with my friends across the street and happened to see your car, so I came over to see if you were here."
After hearing this, Yin Lian said, "That's right. I have something to do here. Is your friend Jin Min here too?"
Jin Min said: "They have gone back first." She did not say that the person she invited to have tea with her was Hu Silin, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why Hu Silin did not come to meet her when she saw Yin Lian, but left first.
Then she looked at the interior of the restaurant behind Yin Lian and said with a smile: "Is this your restaurant? It's so grand. I heard that there is an ocean-style restaurant here, but I haven't had the chance to eat there yet. "
After hearing this, Yin Lian's eyes suddenly flickered and asked, "How did you know it was a restaurant owned by my family?"
Jin Min was stunned for a moment, and then secretly sighed that something was wrong. But she quickly reacted and found an excuse, saying, "I guessed it from the waiter's attitude just now."
Yin Lian glanced at her meaningfully, noncommittally, and then said to Jin Min: "I'm a little busy now and don't have much time for the time being. I'll have someone pack a box of snacks for you, Jin Min, and you can go back and eat."
When she said this, there was no room for refutation. Before Jin Min had time to refute, Yin Lian started to ask the waiter to get the snack gift box.
Jin Min was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "Hey, hey... Yin Lian, I don't want to go home yet! What are you busy with? I can accompany you, and maybe I can help!"
After all, she is a child, and the city is not deep enough, so her attitude is a bit hasty and naked. After seeing it, Yin Lian felt that it was abnormal, and she had some suspicions in her heart.
But she didn't show it, but said with a smile: "Jin Min can't help, so you should go back first."
Jin Min was not happy and said, "How do you know I can't help you if you don't tell me?"
Yin Lian listened, paused, and then said, "Have you ever taken a loan?"
Jin Min was stunned.
Yin Lian said: "I want to raise a loan from the bank, but currently the restaurant has no real assets that can be used as collateral, so we are negotiating whether it can be used as a credit mortgage. Jin Min, do you know anything about this?"
Jin Min was stunned for a moment, basically looking confused.
Yin Lian laughed, then asked the waiter to take her to a double seat, serve her some snacks, and then ignored her.
Jin Min felt that she was ignored or despised, and she was very annoyed, but she had no way to object. After all, at her age, it was impossible to say how much she knew about things like mortgage loans.
Yin Lian dismissed her so easily.
On the way, Jin Min wanted to sneak into the kitchen as Yin Lian's classmate, but was blocked. Yin Lian obviously didn't want to give her face, and never gave her a chance to peep.
Jin Min was angry and annoyed, but had no choice but to order the dishes honestly, and then sat alone on the double seat to eat.
But as she ate, she felt much calmer, because the food in the Crystal Restaurant was really delicious, and delicious food could always dispel depression.
However, she hasn't completely given up yet.
The meal was coming to an end, and Jin Min was still thinking about how to get the trade secrets his father wanted from Yin Lian in order to gain benefits, when he found that the father and son he had been following had finished their meal, stood up, and faced each other. The waiter is saying something.
The restaurant wasn't noisy, but there were still scattered conversations. In addition, the distance between the two parties was somewhat far, so even if Jin Min pricked up his ears, he couldn't hear much.
If you get closer, the movement will be too obvious.
Jin Min could only tell what the two people were asking the waiter from their expressions. When the waiter heard their request, he was obviously stunned for a moment. After a few words of conversation, the waiter turned and entered the corridor leading to the back kitchen, while the father and son stood there, seemingly waiting for something.
Jin Min became excited immediately. She knew that the other party couldn't come here for no reason - they must have some purpose, maybe they just wanted to find trouble.
She was just about to see how Yin Lian would handle this matter, when she saw the waiter bring over a blond foreigner she didn't know at all, and then started talking to the father and son.
Jin Min was really curious, so she pretended to go to the counter and passed by a few people. Then she deliberately dropped the money on the ground and delayed while she bent down to pick it up.
As a result, Alvaro De Luca said: "You gave us a very satisfying lunch, so I want to express my gratitude to you."
Jin Min was suddenly startled, then raised her head and looked at that person - among the many tasks her father gave her, one of them was actually to investigate the origins of the other chef's chef and the sources and varieties of ingredients used.
Jin Min has not seen Yin Lian's side yet, but unexpectedly, he met the chef himself.
However, when she saw the other person's appearance clearly, she was stunned for a moment, because the blond man looked confused and had no reaction to the Italian's compliments, as if he didn't understand what the other person was saying.
Mr. Luca also looked a little surprised.
Since they work in China, most celebrity chefs, no matter how big they are, will also learn to use Chinese. Otherwise, no matter how well-known a restaurant is, it will not be able to operate well if all its employees do not speak the same language.
Mr. Luca didn’t know which country the other party was from, but he assumed that since the other party worked in China, he must understand Chinese. So what he just said was in Chinese.
But the blond man obviously didn't understand what he said. Mr. Luca was stunned for a moment, but thought that the other party was a newcomer, so he changed to English.
Seeing his reaction, the waiter said: "Mr. Luca, our chef is from a minority in our country. He can only understand their local actors. He is still learning Mandarin, but he has only learned some simple words." vocabulary, so it’s not easy to communicate.”
Then he pointed at Mr. Luca and made a set of mute gestures to the blond chef. The blond man seemed to finally understand vaguely, and then smiled at Luca and bowed.
This development not only surprised Jin Min, but also exceeded the expectations of the Italians.
He asked: "Then where is this chef from? What ethnic group is he from, and what language does he speak?"
The waiter replied: "It is said to be a place called Tita. It is a small place and there are not many residents."
Mr. Luca listened, but he had no clue where this Tita was. He asked: "How do you spell the name of this place?"
The waiter said: "I don't know."
Without a language barrier, poaching naturally becomes an impossible task. Neither Mr. Luka nor Jin Min expected such a situation at all. Mr. Luca originally had many plans, but at this time they could only be shelved temporarily. The most important thing now is naturally to find a translator who is proficient in the language of Tita region - of course, the premise is that they first find out where Tita is.
But it is obviously difficult to do this.
Because his plan was broken, the Italian just continued to exchange pleasantries with the blond chef and left. In contrast, Jin Min hid quietly and followed the chef, trying to follow him into the restaurant.
As a result, before anyone could walk in, a waiter stopped her, making Jin Min furious.
After spending a lot of time in the restaurant and even almost attracting Yin Lian's attention, Jin Min finally gave up and continued to work, and then found an excuse to say goodbye to Yin Lian, saying that he was going home.
After seeing off these two groups of people, Yin Lian took a sip and said, "It's finally over. But I guess they won't give up simply and will continue to inquire about us next time."
But someone who had been paying attention to Jin Min said: "Boss, that classmate of yours..."
Jin Min thought she had done a perfect job, but in fact, even the waiter had already noticed that there was something wrong with Yin Lian's classmate. After hearing this, Yin Lian began to say: "...You don't have to worry about this, just do things as usual."
She had already noticed Jin Min's actions, but had no reaction. Because Yin Lian knew that Jin Min couldn't do any useful harm at all, the most she could do was inquire about information.
With this thought in mind, Yin Lian reached out and took out her cell phone.
Hu Silin has sent a lot of messages to Yin Lian on her mobile phone. Most of the messages are complaining about Jin Min. She complained a lot - in one of the conversations, she said that Jin Min wanted to bribe her, but she was strict. Regarding the rejection, Jin Min seemed to want to find out what happened at Yin Lian's home and restaurant, so he reported it in detail.
Hu Silin said in the message: "She said she invited me out for dinner, but as she was eating she started to care about her affairs, especially wanting to inquire about your affairs. It's simply annoying."
