198 General Manager (2)
“I’m really sorry for making the two of you come here for nothing. It’s our fault.” As the woman spoke, she bowed slightly and apologized to the two of them.
Seeing that the attendant was so polite, Liu Yanran and Ye Xuan were not unreasonable people. They waved their hands and said, “It’s okay. We didn’t investigate the rules of your clubhouse clearly. Since that’s the case, we’ll come over to eat next time.”
As the two of them spoke, they were about to leave.
The attendant quickly caught up and handed over a few coupons with both hands. “Please accept these coupons! We know that esteemed guests don’t care about these things, but this represents our sincerity and apology. I hope you can accept them.”
Liu Yanran smiled gently. With such a good service attitude, it was no wonder that the strategy guide praised this clubhouse so much.
The two of them accepted the coupons and were about to walk out when a crisp greeting came from behind. “Yanran? Is that you?”
Liu Yanran was stunned for a moment before turning around.
She saw a man and a woman standing behind him. The woman was looking at her excitedly.
Liu Yanran immediately recognized the two of them. It was her high school classmate, Qu Run. The man standing beside her looked like her boyfriend. The two of them were very intimate.
Qu Run did not look much different from when she was in high school, so Liu Yanran could recognize her at a glance.
“Yanran, it’s really you! I didn’t expect to see you here!” It could be seen that Qu Run was a very enthusiastic girl. Ever since she saw Liu Yanran, her mouth had never stopped moving. “I remember that you’ve been developing your career in Jinling, right? Why are you in Shanghai?”
Liu Yanran smiled faintly. It was as if the iceberg was breaking, revealing the shyness and beauty inside. “I’m here to do some things. I mainly have more things to do in Jinling.”
Qu Run nodded in realization. She pointed at the clubhouse restaurant and said, “The restaurant here tastes good. Why are you leaving before eating?”
Liu Yanran told her that they came over, but they didn’t make an appointment in advance. “I’m not familiar with this place, so I came here for nothing today!”
Her tone was filled with regret.
Qu Run raised her eyebrows and glanced at her boyfriend, who was beside her. She discussed with him in a low voice, “Anyway, there are only two of us today. Moreover, my old classmate has been gone for so long. Can we treat Liu Yanran and the others to a meal?”
She was very considerate of her boyfriend’s feelings, so she had to ask for his opinion on everything.
Qu Run’s boyfriend was called Zhang Hao. At this moment, he was observing Liu Yanran greedily.
This was the first time he had seen such a beautiful girl.
Usually, it was difficult to have a meal with such a woman. Today, there was actually an opportunity to share a meal at the same table. Zhang Hao naturally would not refuse.
He pretended to be very gentle and gently wrapped his arm around Qu Run’s shoulder. He said gently, “Of course you can say that. After all, she’s your classmate. What’s wrong with treating her to a meal?”
If he could eat with such a beautiful woman, he would be willing to treat her every day!
“Wow, thank you, Hubby. You’re really too good to me!” Qu Run cheered happily and kissed Zhang Hao on the cheek. Then, she ran over and held Liu Yanran’s arm. She said happily, “Let’s go, old classmate. It’s my treat today!”
However, Liu Yanran did not agree directly. Instead, she turned to look at Ye Xuan and asked for his opinion.
Ye Xuan didn’t object. Instead, he nodded slightly as a form of agreement.
Zhang Hao saw the interaction between Liu Yanran and Ye Xuan clearly from the side. His lungs were about to explode.
Who was this little brat?
She actually had to ask a child if he wanted to eat?
What a joke!
Besides, what could a brat know? What did he know?!
Meanwhile, Qu Run was very excited to see Liu Yanran. She chattered non-stop, constantly praising Liu Yanran for becoming more and more beautiful.
Meanwhile, Zhang Hao listened from the side. The more he listened, the more excited he became.
It turned out that this girl was a natural beauty. She had not undergone any plastic surgery at all. When she was in high school, she was already devastatingly beautiful. She was undoubtedly the school belle.
Such a beauty was simply top-notch!
At the thought of this, Zhang Hao immediately coughed lightly and quickly walked to Liu Yanran’s side. He began to introduce the environment of the South City Clubhouse. “This clubhouse is ranked among the top in Shanghai!”
“Whether it’s the location, the service, or the taste of the food, they’re all excellent. This place also has a membership system, but because the level is higher, the requirements for members are also very high.”
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he deliberately paused and said in a self-deprecating tone, “I’m only a silver card member here, but I can also enjoy a 50% discount. It doesn’t sound high, but silver card members also need to spend more than 100,000 yuan in one go to obtain it.”
His tone sounded like he was mocking himself, but the meaning between the lines was that he was showing off.
The silver card could only be obtained after spending 100,000 yuan. Look at his wealth. He was not an ordinary person!
Zhang Hao secretly observed Liu Yanran’s reaction. After discovering that her reaction was average, he was not discouraged.
After all, a peerless beauty like her must have eaten and seen extraordinary things.
Moreover, to Zhang Hao, the higher the level of Liu Yanran’s performance was, the more tempting it was to him.
This was because conquering such a woman would give him a greater sense of achievement!
Ye Xuan and Liu Yanran didn’t say anything and quietly followed Qu Run in.
Soon, an attendant came forward to ask for their table number and led the way.
Just as they entered, the manager and store manager, who were checking the hygiene of the restaurant, saw Ye Xuan.
The two of them were so frightened that they stood rooted to the ground. It took them a while to react.
Wasn’t this the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation and the real boss of their restaurant?
This restaurant belonged to the catering department under the Dinglong Corporation, so they had received relevant information about Chairman Ye Xuan.
Why was he in the restaurant?
The manager opened his mouth and looked at the store manager nervously. “What should we do? Should we do something?”
This was the chairman. Usually, they would not have the chance to seek favor with him even if they wanted to. Now, the opportunity was right in front of them!
The store manager frowned and said, “We still don’t know why the chairman is here. Let’s bide our time first, lest we disturb the chairman’s mood.”
After saying that, the store manager felt a little uncertain. He quickly ran to the side and called Sun Lin, the general manager of Dinglong Corporation’s Shanghai headquarters.
Sun Lin was working in her office. When she received the store manager’s call, her eyes widened in shock. “Are you sure? Is the chairman here personally?”
The store manager said with certainty, “I’m very sure! It’s the person on the document you sent me previously. There’s no mistake. It’s definitely Chairman Ye.”
How could an ordinary child be as elegant and graceful as Chairman Ye?
There was no way he could be wrong!
Sun Lin acknowledged and said, “I’ll be there soon. Wait for me!”
