Chapter 139: Like He Was Having Dinner With His Girlfriend
Of course, Jiang Xingyi also wished to book the VIP room.
Although the price of a VIP room was much more expensive than an ordinary private room, the price was nothing to Jiang Xingyi.
However, there were significantly fewer VIP rooms than ordinary rooms. He had been unable to get a reservation many times before. From then on, he has simply given up and always asked for ordinary rooms instead. This way, the odds of getting a reservation were much higher.
Moreover, when the staff of the restaurant had informed him of the successful reservation yesterday, they didn’t mention anything about upgrading to a VIP room. Who would have thought that there would be such a surprise today?
Jiang Xingyi thought perhaps it was because most people had the same idea as him and had all booked ordinary rooms, which had resulted in the ordinary rooms becoming more popular, and the VIP rooms are being neglected?
“Little Sister,” Jiang Xingyi turned to the side and said, “This is the first time I’m winning the lottery. I guess you’re my lucky charm?”
Jiang Yu said, “Man makes things happen.”
Jiang Xingyi was confused. What did Little Sister mean by that?
Jiang Yu’s voice was indifferent. “If you hadn’t made the reservation, we wouldn’t have been able to come today. So, man makes things happen.”
Jiang Xingyi: … Why was Little Sister suddenly full of positive energy?
As they spoke, the three of them walked into the VIP room.
When he took in the full view of the room, Jiang Xingyi’s temples throbbed violently.
What… what was going on?
He has entered VIP rooms before. They were usually decorated in jazzy, elegant, or modern Western themes. This was all to satisfy the tastes of the upper-classes. After all, many dignitaries book rooms here to discuss private business matters, so of course, they could not skimp on the decoration.
However, in this room, the first thing that came into view was a large bouquet of bright, warm flowers, followed by layers and layers of pink gauze.
A small pink castle has been erected in one corner of the room. Next to it stood a pink unicorn, surrounded by a group of cute dolls. Was this a fantasy kingdom for little girls?
Jiang Xingyi almost thought that they had come to the wrong place.
Was it because he has not been here for so long?
When did Cixi Restaurant start adopting this style?
Was it because they wanted to cater to the young daughters of the upper-class circles? Then, would there be private rooms for little boys in this same way?
In his heart, Jiang Xingyi was impressed. As expected of the Cixi Restaurant. It was truly visionary, advancing with the times, adapting to the trends, and meeting all kinds of requirements. No wonder it had a firm standing in the capital.
However…
Jiang Xingyi’s emotions were complicated. It seemed a little strange that he was having dinner with his little sister in such a private room…
Meanwhile, Jiang Yu stared at the flower arrangement that stood two meters away from the dining table. The corner of her mouth twitched.
They were real, fresh flowers. There were so many roses, lilies, and tulips, they looked like the constellations in the sky. The vivid flowers had just bloomed, making the room feel like a scene of sweet, passionate love, or a romantic proposal. However, the fragrance of the flowers was extremely potent. It was almost impossible to smell anything else.
Jiang Yu felt her nose itch. She sneezed and ordered, “Remove the flowers.”
“Okay.”
The waiter quickly called for the flowers to be removed but he looked a little regretful at having done so.
Jiang Yu said, “Remove the candles as well.”
“Okay.”
“Remove the smell as well.”
Jiang Yu said in disdain, “It’s just a meal. Why are you making such a fuss?”
Jiang Xingyi who stood to the side nodded, agreeing with Jiang Yu’s words.
He was just having a meal with his little sister. Why did the waiter act like he was having dinner with his girlfriend?
The whole scene was awkward.
Chapter 140: Lucky Customer
The waiter nodded and said, “Understood.”
He removed all the unnecessary items from around the dining table and on it. As for the other decorations in the room, Jiang Yu did not care about them.
To Jiang Yu, those items would neither hide the aroma of the food nor affect the way she picked up the food. They would not interfere with her eating, so they were not important.
In order to not waste time, someone moved the items to one side as Jiang Xingyi ordered the dishes.
After all, he had been here before and already had a menu in mind. However, the dishes he wanted were in high demand and there was a limited number of servings per day. If the ingredients were finished, the chef would not be able to cook them anymore. Therefore, Jiang Xingyi asked tentatively, “Do you have this one?”
The waiter quickly replied, “Yes.”
“What about this one?”
“Yes.”
“Then this one?”
“I have all of them.”
Jiang Xingyi couldn’t believe his ears.
He paused for a moment and sighed again, “Little Sister, what luck we have while we come here together today. The most popular dishes are all available.”
Jiang Yu nodded and said, “We are indeed lucky.”
In case something unexpected happened, Jiang Xingyi quickly placed the order.
After he closed the menu, the waiter did not leave.
The waiter raised his head with a professional smile on his face, “The restaurant is currently holding an event. Congratulations to both of you for being the 888th customer that our restaurant has received today. You can enjoy an additional A-tier dish, specifically prepared by the head chef. At the same time, the entire meal is on the house. Please enjoy today’s dinner.”
Jiang Xingyi was stunned.
First of all, he was shocked by the waiter’s face.
Previously, he had kept his eyes half-lowered, so Jiang Xingyi didn’t notice that the waiter was so handsome and had a charming smile. His professional manner didn’t match his work uniform.
Then, Jiang Xingyi once again suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
“You said… the whole table is free?”
“Yes, because you two are the lucky customers.”
Jiang Xingyi asked in puzzlement, “When did this event start?”
He had never heard of an event being held in Cixi restaurant.
The waiter said, “Today.”
Once or twice could be considered good luck, but a third time? Jiang Xingyi was also a little suspicious. “You aren’t pulling a prank on us, right?”
“It’s all true. There’s no lie.”
Jiang Xingyi still didn’t quite believe it. “Is there’s an event introduction?”
The waiter said, “It’s an invisible event. It’s randomly triggered to give the customers a surprise.”
Jiang Xingyi: “…”
He kept feeling like he was being played.
Jiang Xingyi guessed, “You’re not the boss, are you?”
The waiter immediately said, “Of course not. I’m just a lowly worker.”
Jiang Xingyi only asked this question because the owner of Cixi restaurant has never shown their face. No one knew the person’s identity. If he really disguised themselves as a waiter and made jokes here…
That would be a devious sense of humor.
After that, they would still retain their air of mystery.
After he thought about it, he did not notice, after finishing his sentence, the waiter’s gaze drifted toward Jiang Yu. Seeing that she was not paying attention to him, he withdrew his gaze in disappointment.
Jiang Xingyi couldn’t figure out why, he could only thank his lucky stars today. He politely said, “Help us thank your boss for his hospitality tonight.”
This time, the waitress looked straight at Jiang Yu and said, “It’s my pleasure. Do the two guests have any other requests?”
Jiang Yu suddenly raised her head and met his gaze as she asked, “Will you be serving us food later?”
“Of course, I’ll be on call.”
Jiang Yu said, “Then change the server to someone who talks less. You’re too pompous.”
Chapter 141: Met the Lady Boss
The waiter: “…”
His stunned expression only lasted for a moment before he lowered his head and let out a laugh from his throat.
“Alright. This restaurant will do its best to satisfy any request from our distinguished customers.”
After saying this, he turned around and walked out of the private room. He walked to the end of the corridor, turned a corner, went up the stairs, and entered a room.
After entering the room, the man leaned against the sofa. He recalled the scene just now and the corners of his mouth curled into a mischievous smile.
His slender fingers casually unbuttoned his work clothes. After taking them off, he casually threw them aside. The man stood there half-naked. With one hand, he took out his cell phone from his pants pocket and called up a video call app.
When the call connected, the man waved at the camera and said cheerfully, “Hey, Little Kedou[1], I’m on a video call with you. Did I surprise you? You never expected this, right?”
[1] Kedou means tadpole in Mandarin. This is a play on words on the character’s surname.
On the other end of the call, Ke Yanbin: “…”
He was silent for two seconds before he said, “Are you a perverted exhibitionist?”
“Thank you for the compliment.” The man cupped his chin with his other hand. “Did you only find out today?”
Ke Yanbin: “I’m hanging up.”
The man: “Aren’t you curious as to why I’m looking for you?”
Ke Yanbin said with a straight face, “You usually don’t carry good news when you’re looking for me. Moreover, if there really was something, the first thing you’d usually say when you see me is that you won’t talk so much nonsense. I’m very busy, I’m hanging up.”
The man said, “I’ve met the lady boss…”
Ke Yanbin’s face seemed to say, “I want to see what you try to pull next”.
The man smiled. “Oh, forgive me. She’s the new boss.”
“I know.”
“Mm-hmm,” the man praised, “I look even better in person than in photos.”
Ke Yanbin said, “I advise you not to have any ill intentions towards her. After all, you saw what the master has done.”
“I know,” the man said indifferently. “He was the one who sent me away, that heartless man?”
Ke Yanbin said, “You should absolutely say this in front of him.”
“Little Kedou, now you’re being dishonest.”
The man winked at him. “Say this in front of him. Do you want to see me get beaten up?”
His tone was coy. Ke Yanbin felt a chill go down his spine.
Knowing this man’s bad taste, Ke Yanbin didn’t want to beat around the bush with him anymore. He asked directly, “So what did you do?”
“Nothing.” The man raised his eyebrows. “I just made some special arrangements to receive my new boss, and then I realized…”
Ke Yanbin waited for him to continue, and then the man said, “Nevermind.”
Ke Yanbin: “…”
As expected, he could not be serious with this man. Has he not been played by him enough times already?!
Every time, he’d opened his mouth and deliberately piqued his curiosity, then he would stop abruptly and not continue. He really deserved a good beating!
“Don’t look at me like that. You know, you can’t touch me. Moreover, you’d ruined my face. That would break many hearts.”
The man pretended to sigh, “But I can tell you the truth. I thought that the master has finally found enlightenment, judging from the fact that the other party is only a high school student. The master must have suddenly developed a pure streak and became interested in cute and soft girls.”
“I had specially arranged a pink, romantic theme for her, but in the end, the other party turned out to be a cold little girl, and…”
Halfway through his words, he received a new text message. He opened it to take a look. After a slight pause, the smile on his lips became even larger.
