Coming out of Sotheby's, Ye Tian and Jason went their separate ways. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ye Tian drove to meet with Bowie, and Jason returned to Benny's second-hand store, showed Benny the antique photos, and asked him to contact various antique dealers to find real buyers.
Ye Tian has no worries about Benny's enthusiasm for work, and under the temptation of 10% commission, he will definitely be able to exert his maximum energy and find the highest bidder.
At half past twelve, Ye Tian walked into a high-end restaurant that he used to frequent.
Today, Sunday, there are fewer people in the restaurant, and the diners are dressed casually, looking relaxed and comfortable, and they are really enjoying life and enjoying the food!
On weekdays, it's full of suit-clad Wall Street elites, especially hedge funds and investment banks.
At that time, it was not only a restaurant, but also a place for the exchange of information and intelligence, and eating was a secondary matter, and obtaining valuable information was the main purpose.
Although there were few people, Ye Tian still saw a few familiar faces.
"Hey, Steven, long time no see! Where is the hedge fund or the investment bank?"
As soon as I entered the door, I was greeted by a fat man with a smile on his face, who seemed to be very enthusiastic!
But this smiling face was so hateful in Ye Tian's eyes.
This is a colleague from the original company, but they are not in the same department, and the relationship is also average.
Of course, he knows that he is on the blacklist of the industry, and it is impossible to find a job in hedge funds and investment banks.
A few weeks ago, he might have been able to achieve his goal, to make himself angry and miserable.
But now that there is no drama at all, Ye Tian will not mind at all, and even thank the people who kicked him out of Wall Street!
"Fat John, long time no see, how are you doing? How are you doing? You won't still be doing chores for Kevin Sr., will you? I don't work for anyone else anymore and be my own boss!"
Ye Tian smiled brightly, and did not forget to fight back at this dead fat man.
The smile on John's face froze suddenly, and his face instantly became extremely ugly, as if he had died of his own father!
Fat John was his most hated nickname, and the days when he was choreo for old Kevin and being called to be a cattle servant were the last experiences he wanted to look back.
But all of this was mentioned in public by the bastard in front of him, and his voice was loud, as if others would not hear it! How could this not make him angry and hateful!
At this time, he couldn't wait to rush forward and give Ye Tian's hateful smiling face an old punch, only then could he relieve the hatred in his heart!
"Hahaha"
There was a loud laugh from the side.
The people near the door all heard Ye Tian's words and immediately burst into laughter.
In the midst of laughter, someone greeted Ye Tian again.
"Hey! Steven, you're a good mix, you're actually your own boss!"
"Hey! Anderson, I heard that you have been promoted, congratulations! My business is just a small fight, and I can't compare to you, an investment bank manager!"
Ye Tian walked over to Fat John as he said hello, and didn't pay any attention to this dead fat man at all, treating it as if he was nothing!
"Bastard!"
Fat John's face turned blue with anger, and he cursed in a low voice through gritted teeth.
After greeting people he knew and greeting politely, Ye Tian came to the reserved seat.
This table is so familiar that as long as your group comes to this restaurant, everyone sits here, and this is a special seat!
As he sat down at the table, he immediately felt emotional, and he couldn't help but think back to the picture of sitting here before.
There have been so many things happening here, laughing, discussing, drinking, celebrating successes, tasting failures, and even competing against other companies, other departments, and so on.
"It's been a long time!Steven, welcome to Phil's restaurant again, what to eat today? We are promoting French black pepper steak today, you can try it, very good!"
My thoughts were interrupted by the crisp voice of the beautiful waitress.
"Kate, it's been a long time! You're still so beautiful, it's heartwarming!"
Ye Tian paused, and immediately smiled and teased the waitress.
"Hahaha, you're still so flamboyant, do you need me to tell Phil about this, he'll have a good talk with you!"
Kate's laughter trembled, and she directly sacrificed her father's big killer move.
Ye Tian hurriedly smiled and shook his head.
"Let this compliment be a secret for the two of us, there's no need to let old Phil know! Bring me a latte first, I'll order later, I'm waiting for someone, Bowie will come right over"
"Hahaha, okay, I'll keep this secret! Wait a minute, the coffee will be coming soon"
Kate left the table with a smile, and Ye Tian took out his mobile phone and began to contact Bowie, he was almost here.
"Bowie, I'm Steven, I'm already at Phil's Restaurant, how long will you be there?"
"Coming soon, is it still the old seat?"
"That's right, old seat, see you later!"
......
The coffee came up quickly, and Ye Tian ordered another cup for Bowie in advance.
After working together for a few years, he naturally knew what Bowie loved to drink.
Then, he drank coffee and waited for Bowie, Ye Tian was very curious about the current appearance of this old friend, it was estimated that it was similar to before he fell into the water, depressed, frustrated, and desperate!
It didn't take long for Bowie to appear at the door of the restaurant, push the door in and say hello to the others, and then walk straight to this side.
Obviously, Bowie deliberately cleaned up today, his hair and beard were well groomed, his suit and leather shoes were meticulous, and he still looked like the former Wall Street elite.
But a discerning person can see the difference in an instant, and the expression of spiritual temperament is not something that can be covered up by external clothing.
At this time, Bowie's eyes no longer had the spirit of being full of confidence and looking forward to flying, and his eyes revealed more hesitation, frustration, and loneliness.
"It seems that life has hit this kid hard!
Ye Tian sighed secretly, then stood up and walked out of his seat, opened his arms and greeted Bowie with a smile.
"Texas cowboys! Let's meet again, let's have a long-lost hug!"
"Hahaha, Steven, I've almost forgotten what you look like!"
Bowie walked over with a smile and hugged Ye Tian warmly.
"Why are you late? You're a very punctual person!
"Actually, I've been here a long time ago, but I don't have any money on me, so I dare to enter this kind of high-end restaurant! In case you kid can't come if something happens, then don't I sit on wax completely! I can't afford to lose that person!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately laughed.
"Hahaha, so that's the case, don't worry, today I'm in for a treat, open to make!"
"Of course! I've heard David say, you kid is rich, don't you kill whom? I'm going to enjoy the fine dining restaurant today! It's been a long time!"
After a few pleasantries, the two returned to the table and sat down.
"Wow! As soon as I sat here, I remembered a lot of things from the past, and it felt like a world away!"
Bowie said with emotion, constantly looking at the table and the rest of the seats.
Seeing his performance, Ye Tian smiled and continued:
"Me too, this is our fixed table, which contains a lot of memories"
As he spoke, Bowie's coffee was delivered.
He chatted with Kate for a few words, but it was much more restrained than before, and he seemed a little restrained and shrunken!
Kate left, and Ye Tian immediately laughed and quipped.
"Bowie, this is not like you! In the past, you used to make Kate's pretty face flush every time you laughed, and you hated old Phil so much that he was about to hit you with Remington, and today you are so honest? Don't you want to chase Kate, this performance is no fun!"
"I can't even support myself, how can I be qualified to pursue Kate, let's find a job first!"
Bowie explained with a wry smile, a sense of loneliness in his tone.
"Yes, survival is a problem, how dare you talk about love!"
Ye Tian put away his smile and sighed, and then he asked:
"Didn't you go to the Pennsylvania Regional Bank for an interview, and what was the result?"
Bowie shook his head in disappointment and gritted his teeth:
"The interview went well at first, and they were very satisfied with my expertise, but then they knew that I was on the industry blacklist, and they immediately turned around and rejected me directly, leaving no room at all, so damnable!"
This result was already expected by Ye Tian, and he had also experienced it, and he remembered it deeply!
After cursing, Bowie looked at Ye Tian and asked curiously:
"Tell me about you! David said that you are now a professional treasure hunter, and your grades are very good, and you have really dug up a treasure! What the hell is going on? How did you become a professional treasure hunter? It sounds too fantastical to be believed!"
"Hahaha, it's incredible, isn't it? But it's an indisputable fact, and I love my current profession a lot more than I do on Wall Street.
It's a long story, so let's order first, I'll explain it to you carefully, and after listening to it, maybe you will also be interested in this industry."
Ye Tian explained a few words with a smile, then diverted the topic and raised his hand to call Kate over.
The two are very familiar with this restaurant, so they don't need to look at the menu at all, they just report a few favorite foods, and it's the sign here.
