At Golden Jade Restaurant.
Very famous in Donghai.
All the best chefs in Donghai were here. It wasn't only very expensive to eat here, but you had to reserve well in advance.
Before going out, Jiang Ning had asked Lin Yuzhen to call and make a reservation already.
Jiang Ning pushed Lin Wen out of the elevator, while Lin Yuzhen and Sumei followed behind him.
This was her first time at such a classy restaurant, so Sumei was a little nervous.
"Yuzhen, this is too expensive, isn't it?"
She quietly continued, "We can't simply spend Jiang Ning's money. This is as good as owing him a favor but we can't afford to return it."
Lin Yuzhen knew it cost several thousand dollars just to eat a meal at Golden Jade Restaurant. A colleague had eaten here before and bragged about it for an entire month.
"Jiang Ning said he wants to treat you to dinner, I can't stop him.”
She hesitated before saying, "You guys just eat. Later I'll give him the money for our share."
Sumei felt better after hearing that.
Jiang Ning pushed Lin Wen towards the reception desk, and one of them quickly came forward to attend to them.
"My apologies, Sir, but our restaurant is full. If you still want to eat here, please wait over at the side."
"It's full?"
Jiang Ning looked around the restaurant then at Lin Yuzhen. "Didn't you make a reservation already?"
Lin Yuzhen stepped forward and took out her phone, the reservation notification still clearly displayed on it. "That's right, we made a reservation. You can get your reception to check the records. We reserved for 6pm, but it's only 546pm now."
"My apologies, there were some guests who came and went in directly. Your notification might not have updated in time."
The waiter calmly continued, "Please wait here by the side, or you could come back tomorrow."
"What's going on? We made a reservation first."
Lin Yuzhen started to feel frustrated. Why was it so difficult to just have a meal?
Surely this restaurant couldn't do things in any way they fancied just because their business was excellent?
Sumei took one look and tugged at Lin Yuzhen. "Why don't we go somewhere else?"
This place was too expensive. It only took one look at the clothes the customers inside were wearing to know that the prices here were beyond her.
"Mum, this is the first time I'm treating you to a meal, so we're not going anywhere else. We're eating here.”
Nobody had ever dared to snatch a table from him before. Whenever Jiang Ning went out to eat, all the restaurant owners always received him with great politeness. Now he had even made a reservation but there was no space.
"Who's your boss?"
The waiter raised an eyebrow.
Trying to drop names?
He'd seen plenty of such people!
He snorted. "Our boss is Huang Yuming, CEO Huang of Donghai, heard of him?"
Most people knew that they couldn't afford to offend someone like Huang Yuming and would disappear after hearing his name.
The waiter had seen plenty of such people, there was no point pretending.
Jiang Ning didn't respond. He took out his phone and called Huang Yuming.
Huang Yuming was soaking himself in a hot spring on the highest floor. The young and slim model in his embrace looked very uncomfortable.
The phone at the side started ringing. It was a number he didn't recognize, but he took one hand off the model and picked up the call.
"Hello?"
"Little Huang, I'm at your restaurant, is there any space?"
Huang Yuming immediately became alert when he heard this voice!
He immediately stood up and sprayed water everywhere, scaring the poor model.
"Yes we do! Big Boss, are you at Golden Jade Restaurant? I'm coming down right
away!”
He didn't care that his hair was still wet. Huang Yuming dried himself off in a blink of an eye, got changed and took his personal lift all the way down.
Back at the Golden Jade Restaurant reception.
The waiter looked at Jiang Ning as if he was looking at an idiot.
Little Huang?
This guy could really act huh?
There was nobody in the whole of Donghai who dared to call Huang Yuming 'Little Huang'. Perhaps he figured he didn't have long to live, so he might as well act cool all the way onto CEO Huang's turf.
"Young man, why don't you ask around whose turf this is? If you're trying to act cool, this is the wrong place!"
The waiter's face darkened. "I'll give you one minute to get out. Otherwise don't blame me for being nasty!"
