Chapter 1065: Chapter 797 Colleague Dinner

Chen Lu felt lost again. Even the family’s charity was something his father worked hard for decades to establish.

What exactly should he do to make his life somewhat worthwhile?

The next day.

When he arrived at the company, Zhang Qing specially brought him some homemade snacks from home.

It was a token of her gratitude for helping her daughter.

Zhao Kai also led the colleagues in applause for him.

"Chen Lu, I didn’t expect you to be so capable. You really helped Sister Zhang Qing solve her child’s medical issue."

"Yes, Chen Lu, you work here so quietly, yet you have such great abilities."

"Chen Lu, I can’t find a boyfriend. Do you want to be my boyfriend?"

"That’s too much."

Zhao Kai quickly stepped up to stop the female colleagues’ excessive enthusiasm. He knew it was just a bit of joking among colleagues.

But Su Xiaoxi had just given birth, and such jokes were indeed inappropriate.

"Chen Lu is married. His wife is the most beautiful goddess from our school. As long as you see Xiao Xi, you’ll know what it means to be stunningly beautiful."

"That’s such a pity. It’s hard to meet a good man like Chen Lu, and he’s already married young," said a rather good-looking girl with large glasses.

"Yes, it’s a pity. But yesterday Chen Lu promised to treat the colleagues to a meal together. We couldn’t make it yesterday, so today we can’t break the promise."

"Alright... Then let’s go to Dream Under the Sea tonight."

The crowd was visibly stunned for a few seconds. You were asked to treat us to dinner, not to go to Dream Under the Sea.

What’s the level there?

It’s the top influencer restaurant in all of Peng City. It’s not a restaurant on the main road but built under the sea.

While eating, you might even encounter some big sea fish.

However, Zhao Kai took the initiative to cough, "Uh, Chen Lu, it’s just a meal. We don’t need to go to such a fancy restaurant, right? There are too many people, and it’s not very cost-effective."

"Yes, yes. Just having some hot pot and beer is fine; Dream Under the Sea is not really suitable."

"I don’t even dare to look at that place. I’m afraid my wife will go crazy and ask me to take her there."

"No problem, you can bring your families too. No matter how much the consumption, I’ll cover it."

Chen Lu wasn’t joking. He knew he wouldn’t be able to stay much longer.

Perhaps after this treat, he would have to leave.

Before leaving, he still hoped to have a good farewell with these colleagues.

If, after he leaves, one or two people still remember him, that would be even better.

"Old Fourth, you’re not joking, right? The per capita consumption there is at least ten thousand, with so many people in our department, and if they can bring their families, we can’t stop at tens of thousands."

Zhao Kai pulled him aside to secretly remind him that he couldn’t joke around. If they all went, at least fifty thousand would be spent just to settle the bill.

Fifty thousand, his two years’ salary wouldn’t be enough for this meal.

A newly hired employee has an annual salary typically between one hundred fifty thousand and two hundred thousand.

Later, with the improvement of work capabilities, performance assessments, and increased work experience, income continuously rises.

For the first two years, it’s hard for him to earn fifty thousand.

"Just a bit of pocket money. I actually want to take Xiao Xi there to experience it too."

Nowadays, influencer restaurants aren’t like before; you can’t just take random photos to check in.

In this era, influencer restaurants are all built with genuine investments of real money.

Like cliff-top restaurants and Dream Under the Sea, the initial investment exceeds fifty million.

Brainstorming ideas combined with the whimsical thoughts young people love most.

Only in this way can a restaurant be considered a qualified influencer venue.

Small workshops can no longer think of becoming an influencer restaurant with just one or two videos.

Though colleagues said they didn’t want to spend too much, when someone invited them along with their families, nearly a hundred people showed up by evening.

Half of them brought their families and quite a few children.

Zhao Kai was feeling downcast. He even specifically reminded department leaders in the afternoon, just to avoid colleagues bringing families.

Chen Lu’s invitation was kind-hearted, but everyone bringing families was somewhat unfair.

Nearly a hundred people, without restricting consumption and going to a place like Dream Under the Sea, fifty thousand couldn’t cover it, and even one hundred thousand wouldn’t be enough.

"Old Fourth, there are just too many people who showed up," Zhao Kai worried.

"No worries, the more, the merrier. I can’t stay here for many days, so it’s just fine to take this chance to get together."

"Why do you have to leave? The work here isn’t good?"

"I have my reasons; it’s not convenient to tell you now."

Chen Lu said, "Xiao Xi should be coming soon, let’s wait for her here for a while."

On the seaside road, Chen Lu and Zhao Kai stood there quietly waiting.

Su Xiaoxi’s appearance was truly that of a goddess. You couldn’t tell she was in the state of a newly postpartum mom.

She just seemed like an extraordinary beauty from somewhere.

Clad in red, her hair fluttered, with white Nike sneakers on her feet.

Definitely still a youthful and radiant beauty.

"Xiao Xi..."

"Kept you waiting, sorry. I was just putting Little Wuyou to sleep."

Su Xiaoxi explained, then took Chen Lu’s arm and headed to Dream Under the Sea with everyone.

For people like them, coming to such a place doesn’t require advance reservations, like those that say you need to book a table half a month or a month in advance.

It’s just a gimmick left for ordinary people to boast about.

For the truly wealthy in their circle, no restaurant dares to demand reservations half a month in advance just to dine there.
