Chapter 111 Homecoming, No?

Li Yifan raised his eyebrows subtly, and everything that happened today made him feel very frustrated.

Originally, he took his wife and daughter to travel thousands of miles back to his hometown to visit relatives and met with old classmates for a party, but found that the country he had tried his best to leave had undergone earth-shaking changes in the past twenty years, which even made Li Yifan feel the illusion of why he had left.

Although the Sea Eagle Kingdom is good, Asians have natural workplace barriers there. If they hadn't jumped to a multinational company in the Huanglong Kingdom in the past two years, they would probably still be a low-level researcher now.

The salary that I once could be proud of now does not seem to have much advantage. Although the education level of the Sea Eagle Kingdom is still higher than that of the Huanglong, the high education cost that also has to be paid makes me a little stretched, and I even consider applying for a Sea Eagle Kingdom education loan.

So when you return home in glory, you can return home in glory. No one wants to return home at the most downturn and face those who once looked up to you more than ten years ago.

Recently, Li Yifan often remembers Maupassant's novel "My Uncle Yule".

When he read this text, he really didn't have any special feeling, but now he has the feeling of empathy when it comes to his own situation.

Of course, he did not fall to the point where he could only live on the ferry to peel oysters, but he could deeply understand why Yule was unwilling to return to his hometown to surrender in time.

If he had such a day in the future, he would find a place to die quietly, rather than leaving the final impression of his business failure and poverty on those who knew him.

This is really harder than letting him die on the spot.

Of course, it must be fine now. He received an enviable salary in that multinational company. He could take his family to work in business class and travel thousands of miles to his hometown to visit his parents who were still in his hometown, and go to see his old classmates at that time and invite him to have a meal in the best restaurant in his hometown.

As for the next meeting, I don’t know how many years it will take.

This was what Li Yifan thought.

But he never dreamed that the meeting would start in such a desperate way.

When the dark gray BMW x7 was parked in front of their family, Li Yifan was still discussing with his wife with a little jealousy about who was greedy and abused his power to buy such a good car. As a result, the window of the BMW car rolled down, revealing the old but vaguely familiar face of the old classmate.

This old classmate, who was far inferior to himself, is now sitting in a luxury car worth millions of dollars in suits and ties, greeting him. The style and fabric of the suit are not just a style that can be rented in the store at first glance. Most of them are customized and hand-sewn products. He didn't even have the nerve to ask how much this suit is worth, but based on Li Yifan's experience and experience, it is probably at least tens of thousands.

After getting in the car, the nephew who had not seen for a long time was handsome and elegant, with extraordinary conversation, and there were never enough fresh and playful words in his mouth, which made his wife and daughter laugh endlessly, and only his heart was faintly filled with sourness.

It was obvious that this time I came back to my hometown, but in the end, I didn’t expect that the person who became the Green Leaf became me instead.

He remembered the emails he had contacted with these two college classmates in the past, and always told them about their current situation. There was a lot of show-off in his tone, but the other party rarely told them about them. Now it seems that it was because he was afraid of damaging his fragile self-esteem.

It was really not that good to feel humiliated when it happened to me.

As a result, when the other staff told him that Xuezhai only accepted reservations and could not dine in at the store, his mentality was completely blown up.

If he accepted the advice of his nephew and went to another restaurant for dinner, then his last little dignity and persistence would probably be lost. He could only stand there in vain and persistence, just like a scarecrow wearing clothes, standing there numbly, reiterating over and over again that he is an elite overseas returnee and has the nationality of the Sea Eagle Country. This is the last thing he can do, but even Li Yifan himself knew that he had become a joke in the eyes of others.

But if I don’t persist, it will even become a joke in my eyes.

He kept saying that he wanted to take someone else to the best restaurant in Luocheng for dinner, but he was unable to enter because he had no appointment.

He didn't want to be so polite and disgraceful in front of his acquaintances after so many years of education today, but he couldn't let go of his last bit of self-esteem.

At the end of the matter, it was a servant around my nephew who casually described it as a casual word. We used Miss Feng's VIP seat to solve everything, but this made us even more incompetent and cowardly.

Li Yifan felt that he was being publicly punished, but he could not escape because his wife, children, friends and juniors were all here, so he could only arm himself with a more lustful attitude.

Even if I think I am ridiculous.

"We are VIP seats, aren't VIP treatments?" Li Yifan said loudly, and Li Duoduo beside him gently pulled his sleeve and called him dad.

Li Yifan ignored it.

"Every customer who goes to Xuezhai to eat, we regard him as a VIP, no distinction between high and low." The waiter said with his head down, without any intention of giving in.

Zhao Junli spoke just right, "Do you have any recommended food orders?"

"Just give us one according to the food order."

"Okay, sir, we recommend this summer lotus-themed specialty food list. It is a new menu this year, you can try it." The waiter recommended: "Due to the unpleasantness caused to you before, can you give you a 15% discount on this meal?"

Zhao Junli nodded, thinking that he was worthy of being a Michelin three-star waiter, and he gave each other enough steps.

Thinking of this, Zhao Junli looked at Li Yifan: "Uncle Li, do you think this is OK? I heard that there are many creative new dishes in the new menu of lotus theme."

"No!" Li Yifan roared softly, his teeth tensed tightly, and even the muscles on his face were twitching gently.

"Don't look down on others." Li Yifan shouted at the waiter: "Why can they order the chef's supply but we can't!"

"If I don't give it to the chef today, we won't eat this meal!"

"We'll leave now, don't you hear it, let's leave now!"

Li Duoduo lowered her head, was so scared by her father that she sobbed slightly, and the crying echoed in this small private room.
