I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

Chapter 138 Meeting a Hollywood director by chance in a restaurant!Here's your chance to vent your anger on Annie!
Chiltern Firehouse.

Just by hearing the name of this restaurant, you can know that it was converted from a fire station.

This fire station is not a fire station in the ordinary sense, but an antique fire station with historical value built in 1889.

The main building of the entire old fire station is in Victorian Gothic architectural style. The small yard before entering the door is an open-air glass dome, so that you can enjoy the night while protecting it from wind and rain.

There are also a few small round tables in the small courtyard. Although it is not a weekend, the attendance rate is not bad.

The layout inside the old fire station is even more classical in style, with every brick and tile carrying a sense of history.

That's the selling point of this restaurant.

Gu Ran and Annie were about to enter the small courtyard of the fire station restaurant when a restaurant manager who looked like an old British butler in a tuxedo greeted him with a serious face.

"Good evening, ma'am, good evening, sir."

The restaurant manager's tone is kind, but his expression and demeanor reveal the arrogance of the British upper class.

Annie said, "Good evening sir, we have an appointment."

As she spoke, Annie reported her assistant's phone number.

"Of course, ma'am, you are welcome." The restaurant manager smiled arrogantly, his chin raised slightly, "but I'm sorry, this gentleman's attire does not meet the requirements of this restaurant."

Gu Ran looked down at his sports jacket with the Southampton school badge printed on it.

This is really not a formal dress.

In foreign countries, most high-end western restaurants have a dress code. Even if you don't wear a suit, you must at least wear trousers, leather shoes and a shirt.

Is this civilization?
No, Gu Ran doesn't think so.

When European workers went on strike for the first time, they had never gone on strike before, so they didn't know how to strike, so they followed the upper class and spent money to buy a suit and dress, and took to the streets.

Since then, Europeans have been sick, and they have to wear suits for every meal.

If this is in China, those who wear big vests and flip-flops are the real rich people—they can wear whatever they want.

Gu Ran frowned slightly, "I came here in a hurry today, can you accommodate me?"

The corner of the restaurant manager's mouth curled up with a hint of scorn, "I'm sorry sir, I can fully understand your urgency to come to this restaurant to eat, but this restaurant is a one-star Michelin restaurant, and our chef is the star-level Michelin chef Nu No Mendis, you may have seen his column on London TV's midnight food show. We often have celebrities patronizing here. Your dress will affect the grade of this restaurant and the good mood of other guests .So I suggest that you change into your formal clothes first, and then come to eat - we will reserve your table for... 15 minutes."

shit...

Are you discriminating against me?
Don't say you have one Michelin star, so what if you have three Michelin stars?
Gu Ran's eyes immediately turned cold.

Annie beside her couldn't help protesting, "What? Only give us 15 minutes? This is so unfair! Even if we find a men's clothing store to buy a set now, it's too late!"

There was an indifferent smile on the corner of the restaurant manager's mouth, "We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you, but this is the rule of our restaurant. If you feel unwell, you can choose to leave."

"You!" Annie trembled slightly with anger.

She wanted to take this opportunity to treat Gu Ran to a meal and express her gratitude to Gu Ran, but she didn't expect to encounter such discriminatory treatment!

It's nothing more than seeing that Gu Ran is Asian and wears a sports jacket from an unknown school, so this restaurant manager is like this!

If there are rules in western restaurants and you really have to wear formal clothes, then it doesn’t matter if you buy a formal suit, but if you only reserve a table for 15 minutes, this is not purely a matter of formal attire!
Annie grabbed the brim of the sun hat, ready to take off the hat to reveal her identity, and seek justice for Gu Ran!
However, Gu Ran grabbed Annie Haobai's wrist and said with a light smile, "No need, Annie."

Annie was still very angry, "Gu, I won't allow them to treat you like this!"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Then let me reason with them."

Annie said worriedly: "Gu, can you reason with them?"

Gu Ran didn't respond, but calmly opened his sports backpack and took out a thick wad of pounds from it.

Each pound has a face value of 50.

There are a hundred cards in this stack!

Annie was taken aback.

She knew that Gu Ran was rich, but she didn't expect that Gu Ran was so rich that he could take out 5000 pounds from his sports bag casually.

Like cutting noodles with a knife, Gu Ran sliced ​​the pound one by one into the face of the arrogant restaurant manager, "Can I eat at your place? Can I? Can I?"

The pound hit the old face of the restaurant manager like snowflakes, and the restaurant manager was trembling with anger, "Sir, you are insulting me!"

"Yeah, I'm just insulting you."

After cutting a stack, Gu Ran took out another stack, and continued to slice the arrogant restaurant manager's face.

So ruthless, so rough, so direct!

The surrounding guests and passers-by were all shocked by Gu Ran's operation!
A few passers-by even picked up their mobile phones and secretly took pictures - after all, this kind of scene of throwing money at people's faces is not often seen.

Gu Ran finished cutting the second stack, and then cut the third stack, "Can you! Can you! I'll just ask you, can you!"

The originally arrogant restaurant manager suddenly trembled all over.

That's already £1!

Although it's very insulting, but...it's really a lot of money!
The restaurant manager gasped heavily: "Sir, please don't do this. I don't value the money. Our place is really a high-end restaurant... Or, you can go buy a suit and come back. I will give you your seat." You keep."

The arrogant restaurant manager has begun to give in!

Gu Ran sneered and said, "I thought you were such a tough guy!"

As he said that, Gu Ran took out the fourth wad of pounds, and continued to cut the face of the restaurant manager, "I want to go in now!"

Restaurant managers have their feet covered with pounds!

This is a real deal of twenty thousand pounds!

How can someone who can easily take out [-] pounds to play around with is an ordinary person?

The arrogance on the restaurant manager's face disappeared immediately, and his attitude turned 180 degrees, "Sir! Sir, you are a super-high-class person with extraordinary status! It was my poor service just now, I am really sorry."

The restaurant manager bowed to Gu Ran repeatedly!
... It's still money!
Gu Ran sneered and said, "So, I can go in?"

The manager of the restaurant nodded and bowed his head and said: "Yes, yes, yes! Of course! This restaurant will provide you with the most professional service and ensure that you and your girlfriend can enjoy the first-class service."

Being able to earn [-] pounds at once, the manager of the restaurant was going crazy with joy, wishing to confess Gu Ran like a foreign God of Wealth!

Gu Ran smiled coldly, "Well, how nice of you to have such an attitude earlier? All right, you can pick up the money for me first, and I'll see if your superb service is good, and then I'll decide whether I want to have dinner at your house .”

what……

The restaurant manager was completely dumbfounded.

"Sir, I thought... the money was for me."

Gu Ran frowned and said, "Did I say I would give it to you? I just showed you how rich I am. Have you seen it now?"

The restaurant manager opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "Look, I saw it."

Gu Ran said coldly: "If you see it, pick it up and return it to me. Let me tell you, you can't do without one. If you miss one, your restaurant is not serious!"

Who the hell is dishonest!

The restaurant manager was shaking with anger!

The sterling that was thrown in the face, but I still can't get it!

This, this, is too bullying!

The key point is that so many people around are watching, the face of the British upper class is completely lost!

The manager of the restaurant wanted to throw Gu Ran out.

But he really didn't dare to do it.

Gu Ran said coldly: "What? Just now you said that I am a super-elite person with extraordinary status, and you want to provide me with super-first-class service. Could it be that you are just looking after the money?"

"No, no, no," the manager of the restaurant blushed, "Sir, you misunderstood, we are not that kind of people! We... We will pick up money for you."

The restaurant manager bent down towards Gu Ran, picking up money one by one.

Gu Ran looked down at this condescending guy with a cold face, and he felt happy in his heart!
Annie next to her hugged Gu Ran's arm tightly, and almost cried out in excitement.

It turned out that this was Gu Ran's "reasoning"!
This kind of reasoning is too domineering, too wild, and it directly hits the face!
And using money to slap face is not the most exciting thing, the most exciting thing is that after using money to slap face, let the other party pick up the money and exchange it back!
... Ahhh!

Gu Ran, why are you so bad!

So bad it makes me want to knock him to the ground!

Gu Ran's whole body, every pore is full of strong hormonal charm!
Annie felt that she was about to lose control of herself...

lights~
The restaurant manager drops a blue bubble.

Gu Ran didn't even gather his thoughts to look at it.

The last pick-up progress is not for this kind of people.

"Sir, I've picked them all up, please count them." The manager of the restaurant presented a few wads of pounds with a wry smile on his face.

Now it’s Gu Ran’s face full of arrogance, Gu Ran accepts all the money connected, and directly opens the backpack, “Be lazy, less is less, the things you robbed in the British Museum are much less than mine. , what else do I care about? Let it all in."

The manager of the restaurant was about to be driven crazy by Gu Ran, but he didn't dare to attack!
"Sir, why don't you order some!"

"If I say no, I don't need it!" Gu Ran frowned, and then stretched out his hand to wrap Annie's soft waist and hips, "Annie, it's getting late, since the service here is pretty good, let's just make do with a couple of bites here Bar."

"Well, okay, I'll listen to you." Annie's whole body was extremely obedient, and half of her delicate body actively leaned against Gu Ran's arms.

Cool...

Gu Ran is arrogant!

The restaurant manager was on the verge of tears.

Gu Ran helped Annie walk halfway, then suddenly stopped and turned to the restaurant manager behind him, saying, "Oh, by the way, I still prefer your rebellious look just now."

The restaurant manager nearly fainted.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Gu Ran and Annie walked through the small glass-domed courtyard and into the quieter and softer interior of the restaurant.

The two found a quiet corner and sat down.

Annie asked nervously, "Gu, do you think this place is okay?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "The environment is not bad."

The waiter said proudly: "Sir, Ma'am, we are a well-known Michelin one-star restaurant, and we are often patronized by celebrities, such as David Beckham and Jennifer Lawrence."

When Gu Ran heard about David Beckham, he suddenly regained his spirits.

Today there is another chance to go whoring for nothing. If I can meet Xiao Beige here, it will be really hehehehe!

In other words, since the last farewell, Brother Xiaobei should not recognize me...

And when Annie heard the name of Jennifer Lawrence, she was a little annoyed, "Hey, I called my assistant to book a restaurant, but all the Michelin three-star restaurants in London have no seats. I knew Jennifer had eaten here too. For dinner, I just... oh, forget it, it seems that we can only make do with this one-star restaurant today."

The corner of the waiter's mouth twitched slightly: ...Who are you?You thought you were Anne Hathaway?
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Annie, come and order."

"Ok."

Annie took the menu and glanced at it briefly, "I want a seaweed crisp for the tapas, baked Hokkaido shellfish for the starter, lime strawberry and avocado for the salad, abalone spring bamboo shoot clear soup for the soup, and grilled mushrooms for the side dish. Hot spring eggs, black truffles, for the main course... charcoal-grilled American purebred Black Angus beef tendon, and for dessert, Italian Buffy."

For regular Western food, ordering is also particular.

Tapas, appetizers, salads, soups, side dishes, main courses, desserts, all in the same order.

Let’s not talk about whether the western food is good or not, anyway, it’s full of flavors.

After Annie finished ordering, she handed the menu to Gu Ran.

Gu Ran took it over and took a look—there was no picture, only a line of cursive English, and there was no price.

... Europeans have only had enough to eat for 400 years, but they really know how to pretend.

After glancing at it, Gu Ran threw away the menu, "Tapes of veal with caviar, starter of foie gras with mangoes and nuts, salad... Well, why is there such a thing as salad? Let's have tomatoes mixed with sugar. "

The waiter said with a depressed face: "Sorry, we don't have this dish."

Gu Ran said: "It's very simple, just slice the tomatoes and sprinkle some white sugar. Tell your big star chef that if he doesn't know how to do it, I can teach him in person."

The corner of the waiter's mouth twitched, "...Good sir. What about the others?"

Gu Ran sighed, and continued: "For soup, I want abalone and matsutake soup. For side dishes, salmon with lemon pulp balls and black truffles. For the main course, black pepper tomahawk steak is 5 mature. For dessert, I want peak life pudding."

Although he doesn't like to eat this kind of Western food with many rules, but as an international student, Gu Ran still has experience in eating Western food.

The waiter said respectfully: "Okay, what kind of wine do you two drink?"

Annie bit her lip and said softly, "Gu, you can decide."

Gu Ran waved his hand, "I don't drink."

"Oh, then don't."

Annie smiled, and said to herself: Gu Ran is indeed a gentleman, and he has no intention of getting me drunk—but why do I feel a little lost in my heart?
The waiter walks away with the menu.

After a while, hors d'oeuvres and appetizers were served.

The professionalism of this kind of Michelin one-star restaurant is really unquestionable. When Gu Ran and Annie reported the dishes, the waiters did not record them with pens, but they could remember each dish accurately and knew which dish was the best. To whom.

Looking at the veal with caviar and foie gras with mango nuts in front of him, Gu Ran was dumbfounded.

He has eaten western food before, but... This is indeed the first time he has eaten such an exquisite western food.

Exquisite not only describes good-looking, but also describes small.

The caviar veal was only as big as a little finger, and the caviar on it was simply counted according to the number of particles.

Look at Annie's seaweed crisps, which are half smaller than Boli seaweed.

Ugh.

It's no wonder you're so full.

Gu Ran swallowed the veal with caviar into his mouth with a sad face—not to mention, the taste is still good, the caviar is very full, the veal should be raw meat from the tenderloin, and it was from the afternoon, so it is very tender.

It's just...too little.

"Sir, you want tomatoes mixed with sugar." The waiter brought a big plate and placed it in front of Gu Ran.

I saw seven thin slices of tomato sliced ​​with a superb knife, decorated in the center of the large plate in the shape of blooming flowers, and the petals were sprinkled with a layer of snow-like white icing.

The tomato slices are as thin as tulle.

Gu Ran: ...

Even a cherry tomato has more content than this tomato slice!
Gu Ran couldn't help asking: "Waiter, I can't help but want to ask curiously, how much does this plate of tomatoes mixed with sugar cost?"

The waiter smiled and said: "Sir, this dish is not expensive, but no other chef can cook this dish. It was prepared by the famous chef Mr. Nuno Mendes himself. , so the price will be slightly more expensive.”

"How many?"

"It's only £159."

Gu Ran: ...

Fortunately, cheaper than a pair of suspenders.

Gu Ran sighed, and handed the tomatoes mixed with sugar to Annie, "Annie, you can eat."

"Ah? Okay, thank you." Annie took it, and gently picked up a tomato slice as thin as a cicada's wing with a fork, and put it in her mouth.

"Wow, it's delicious! It's so sweet and refreshing! Gu Ran, the dishes you created are so creative! I think you should ask that star chef Nuno Mendis for a creative fee!"

Huh, that's it?

Gu Ran shook his head, and drank the abalone and matsutake soup sullenly - Gu Ran was very satisfied with this soup, the matsutake soup was very delicious, and the three-headed abalone was big and chewy.

While eating, Gu Ran secretly watched the guests entering the restaurant.

Those who can eat at a Michelin one-star restaurant with tomatoes mixed with sugar at £159 must be either rich or expensive.

Unfortunately, after watching for a long time, there are no stars.

Although Xiaobei and the eldest cousin have been here, it doesn't mean they can come here every day.

Seeing that more than half of this meal has been eaten, there is still a chance to pick it up today, or else, go whoring that big star chef for free?

Celebrities are definitely prone to drop blue skill bubbles, but the problem is that the way of Western food and Chinese food are completely two systems, even if you use the Western food skills of a big star chef, you don’t usually use them much.

While Gu Ran was thinking about it, Annie suddenly lowered the brim of her hat nervously, and shrank in the corner.

Gu Ran hurriedly asked with concern: "Annie, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

Annie lowered her voice and said, "A Hollywood director, screenwriter and critic came here for dinner! He once commented on my acting skills, saying that I was trash in a vase... I couldn't breathe when I saw him."

Gu Ran frowned suddenly, "Who is it?"

Annie hurriedly said: "Shh, Gu Ran, keep your voice down, don't let him find me - let's eat quickly, and leave here as soon as we finish."

Gu Ran grabbed Anne's trembling cold little hand, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Our location here is also relatively hidden, and you are wearing a big sun hat now, so others will not find that you belong to Anne Hathaway. Tell Me, who is that guy?"

Anne stabilized her mood, and said cautiously: "In the third row of seats by the door, there is a man in his fifties, wearing a black suit, with a fat figure—his name is Rob Marshall."

Rob Marshall?
Gu Ran looked back, and sure enough, he saw a fat white man with a swollen face talking and laughing happily with a young black man.

Seeing Rob Marshall's face, Gu Ran immediately activated the relevant memories of his previous life.

This director, screenwriter, and film critic was quite talented when he was young. His representative works are "Chicago", "Memoirs of a Geisha" and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

He is also a gay man - in Hollywood, with this status, he can be regarded as a BUFF for himself.

The director's biggest controversy is not the above works, but he directed a live-action "The Little Mermaid" movie in 2022, which will be released in 2023-his The Little Mermaid starring, turned out to be a black girl.

This kind of forced stacking of BUFF for the sake of correctness is really ridiculous.

Even if you really want to use a black girl to play the leading role, you can find a prettier one, even if the black pearl Halle Berry is too old, Gamora Zoe Saldana can't be invited, "Ant-Man 2" Isn't Hannah Jon-Kamen, the villain ghost in the movie, also available?
It's really too much to have to find a girl who can't even accept black people to play.

...Hollywood's anti-intellectualism has reached the point of being right and right.

Fortunately, it was not that serious in 2010.

Gu Ran is very glad that he was reborn at the end of 2022. He will not see "The Little Mermaid", let alone the "Snow White" starring blacks as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the vicious queen, which is scheduled for 2024. snow White".

Moreover, Rob Marshall publicly abused Lao Tzu's goddess!
It's fine if you don't meet, but since you do, it's hard to get rid of the hatred in your heart if you don't do it!
Gu Ran stood up, "Annie, wait here, I'll vent your anger on you."

Annie said in fear: "Gu, don't! Don't—"

Before the words were finished, Gu Ran took off the coat of Southampton private school, left his seat, and strode up behind Rob Marshall——

At this moment, Marshall was happily bragging to the young black man at the same table,
Gu Ran didn't hesitate at all, and directly slapped Marshall on the back of the head with a round slap!

Snapped!
Marshall was directly beaten and forced!
