A Blind Date Guide

???? Barbecue is a major specialty of their north, but Meng Yi seldom eats it since he was a child, and he has never touched it since he came to this city. He asked Zhou Lin to recommend it, and Zhou Lin picked his favorite Go to the house, take Meng Yi to open your eyes.

????The barbecue restaurant is not far from their house, and it takes only 5 minutes to walk after getting off the bus.

???? It is ten o'clock in the evening, and the small shop is almost full of seats, and the guests are blowing the air conditioner and eating in full swing.

???? When Zhou Lin walked in, the shop owner recognized this regular customer at a glance, and enthusiastically gave them a pint of beer after ordering.

???? Zhou Lin picked up the wine bottle and asked Meng Yi, "Would you like some?"

???? Meng Yi didn't drink at all, so he said without thinking, "No need."

???? Zhou Lin said: "For the sake of our smooth operation today, let's have a drink to celebrate."

???? Meng Yi thought about it too. It was rare for him to come out for supper. He should relax, so he agreed with Zhou Lin to pour himself a glass.

???? Zhou Lin raised his wine glass and touched Meng Yi, and said, "Mr. Meng, you are so kind to the students. The students should like you very much, right?"

???? "No." Meng Yi said honestly, "I'm just a sub-teacher, and I only teach them once a week at most. Most of the students actually don't know me very well. This time it's a special situation."

???? "Then you are still willing to help him like this, you are really a good teacher." Zhou Lin said from the bottom of his heart.

???? Meng Yi smiled shyly, with a little pride in his heart.

???? The owner of the barbecue shop moved swiftly. After a while, all the grilled skewers were ready on the table, and the brightly colored and fragrant meat was placed on the table. Meng Yi's stomach immediately growled spontaneously.

???? He didn't wait for Zhou Lin to start, and picked up a bunch of tender beef by himself, but before the meat was delivered to his mouth, Zhou Lin held down his hand and shouted to stop.

???? "Wait." Zhou Lin carefully counted the sticks on the plate, and shouted to the boss, "We are missing a bunch of beef!"

????The boss ran over when he heard the sound, and saw that a string was really missing. He immediately apologized to them and compensated them five strings of tender beef.

???? Zhou Lin moved his hands in satisfaction, picked up a bunch of beef and handed it to Meng Yi.

???? Meng Yi admired it very much. He usually buys things and rarely cares about these things. Sometimes he may find that he is short of money and would not confront the boss. A little less is not a big deal, forget it.

???? I didn't expect Zhou Lin to be quite clear in this regard.

????Zhou Lin seemed to know what Meng Yi was thinking, and said, "We spent money, so we can't lose money. A bunch of beef costs four yuan."

???? Meng Yi expressed his understanding, but he couldn't help asking: "Your family's financial conditions should be good, right? The apartment I rented is not only yours, but also the one you live in, and the one at home. , there are three sets of houses alone.”

????Zhou Lin sighed and said: "My family is okay, but it's not my money. I participated in starting a business a few years ago and asked my family to borrow 10,000+, but I lost all of it. Now I can only rely on being an intermediary Earn money to pay off debts.”

???? Hearing this, Meng Yi couldn't help but feel sad for Zhou Lin.

???? Zhou Lin asked back: "Isn't your salary quite high as a teacher? Why do you still have to work part-time on weekends? Why don't you rent a better house?"

???? Meng Yi hesitated for a moment. He didn't want to tell others, but Zhou Lin revealed his old background, and it seemed that he didn't need to hide it.

???? "When I was in college, my grandma borrowed all the tuition and living expenses from here and there." Meng Yi said, "I also applied for a school student loan, and now I have to pay back the money slowly, and my grandma lives in a living room now. The monthly expenses of the nursing home are close to five figures, and my salary alone is definitely not enough."

????Zhou Lin was silent for a moment, and said, "Why don't I treat you to this meal?"

???? "No need." Meng Yi quickly stopped, "I'm not that tight. I recently accepted an advertisement and drew a cartoon for them, earning a lot of money."

???? Zhou Lin became excited when he heard it: "Mr. Meng can also draw cartoons? Let me see."

???? Meng took out his mobile phone generously and clicked on his Weibo to show him.

???? Zhou Lin flipped through a recent Weibo, and couldn't help laughing when he saw two little foxes.

???? Meng Yi asked: "What's wrong?"

???? Zhou Lin smiled and said, "Mr. Meng, you are so cute."

???? With a heartbeat, Meng Yi corrected him and said, "It's my paintings that are cute, not me."

???? "Of course a cute person can draw such a cute picture." Zhou Lin took it for granted.

???? Meng Yi didn't refute him again.

???? He found that Zhou Lin had a great characteristic, he never stingy with his compliments, last time he said he was excellent, today he praised him as a good teacher, and also praised him as cute, this series of compliments made Meng One is simply a little flustered.

???? Regardless of whether Zhou Lin came from the heart or was polite, Meng Yi felt very happy. Except for his grandma, no one had ever affirmed him so comprehensively.

???? Meng Yi picked up the chopsticks and gave Zhou Lin the last piece of oyster on the plate.

???? Who knows that Zhou Lin didn't appreciate it, and waved his hands again and again, saying: "Don't eat it, don't eat it, this thing strengthens yang, eat too much, can't sleep at night, and want to masturbate."

???? Meng Yi: "..."

???? Everything else is pretty good, but a little rough, Meng Yi thought.

???? The two chatted while eating, and ate a barbecue for more than half an hour, which was much longer than the meal they ate on their first blind date.

???? On the way home after eating and strolling, Zhou Lin asked Meng Yi curiously: "When did you start learning to draw?"

???? "I studied in high school, and I went to the Academy of Fine Arts in college."

???? "Did you learn it because you like it?"

???? "Yes, the cost of learning this is quite high. Before I went to college, I hesitated whether to continue, but my grandma told me not to give up easily if I like something, so I persisted all the way."

????Zhou Lin nodded approvingly: "I really envy you. You can make money with your skills."

???? "Don't you have any specialty?" Meng Yi looked up at him.

???? "No." Zhou Lin thought for a while, "Does playing games count? Oh, and handsome."

???? Meng Yi said: "That can be used for live broadcasting of games."

???? The inspiration for the live broadcast was obtained by Meng Yi from the music teacher at the next table. The music teacher relied on the two advantages of being able to eat and looking good to occupy the popular recommendation position of a certain Two-dimensional video site all the year round. Advertising revenue is much higher than salary.

???? Meng Yi felt that Zhou Lin could also give it a try.

???? After hearing this, Zhou Lin suddenly realized that this plan was very reliable. When he got home that night, he bought a set of live broadcast equipment online.

???? He also specially observed the top few game anchors on the website, and felt that the operation level of these people was just the same, not much different from his own, and the voices of the explanations were generally not very pleasant, and the Mandarin was not as good as his own. .

???? Zhou Lin's confidence doubled immediately, and he had a premonition that he was about to set foot in the right industry, and his future was bright.

???? He set a small goal for himself, to have [-] fans within a week.
