At the same time, in another car, Lu Qi looked a little unhappy. He could not help but complain, "Dad, I already said I don't want to come. It's best not to contact this kind of country bumpkin. What's the use of him other than causing trouble?"
"No matter what, he did help me back then. Now that his son has come to Capital City, it's not appropriate for me to not show up," Lu Yuan said.
"Yeah, people from the countryside like them love to gossip. It's not good for them to go to the village and talk bad about us. It's better to treat them to a meal and dismiss them," Sun Hong said. She paused and continued with a sense of superiority, "This family has been holed up in Rugao City all their lives. They really haven't achieved much and have no knowledge to speak of."
"Sigh, that's right." Lu Yuan also said, "Originally, I heard from the villagers that Ye Jin's child is amazing. Not only did he get into Capital University, but he has also achieved something. That's why I wanted to bring Qi 'er here to have a look. If he's really that good, it's not a bad idea to be friends with him. Now it seems that it was an exaggeration. Other than getting into a good university, he's just average.
"Tsk, so what if he gets into a good university? He might not even graduate in the future. Even if he does graduate, he might not be able to find a good job. Even if he does find a good job, whether or not he can make a fortune is another matter. This kind of country bumpkin has nothing. I don't like him! "Lu Qi said disdainfully.
"Yes, yes, yes. My daughter is naturally not worthy of ordinary people!" Lu Yuan said.
"This time, it's a return of the favor. After all, with that family of theirs, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat at the Grand Capital Restaurant for the rest of their lives. We've treated them well!" Sun Hong nodded.
…
The taxi stopped.
Xu Zhen and Ye Jin were really shocked by the grandeur of the Grand Capital Restaurant. They walked toward the private room together.
"This restaurant is the oldest restaurant in Capital City. It was a kind of landmark during the Republic of China. Those who came here to eat were all dignitaries at that time. Even now, this restaurant has not fallen behind and has even become a kind of culture. Ordinary people can't book a private room even if they have the money. I only managed to book a private room because I know someone here."
Lu Yuan smiled and said proudly, "Today, I'll be the host. I'll definitely let you eat and open your eyes!"
"Dad, other people might not be able to understand what you're saying." Lu Qi glanced at Ye Lingchen, then smiled and said, "The minimum standard to eat here is more than 1,000 yuan per person. If you enter a private room, it will cost at least 2,000 yuan per person!"
There were a total of six people here, which meant that a meal would cost at least twelve thousand!
Eating more than 10,000 yuan for a meal was absolutely unimaginable for many people.
Sure enough, Lu Qi saw Xu Zhen and Ye Jin's expressions change slightly. However, Ye Lingchen did not seem to hear it and did not respond.
Hehe, country bumpkin, you really want to save your face. You're pretending to be calm. There's an eighty percent chance that you want to act in front of me to attract my attention.
At the same time, when he saw Ye Lingchen, the owner of the Grand Capital Hotel was shocked. He immediately prepared himself and gestured to all the waiters.
When Ye Lingchen and his group entered the Grand Capital Hotel, there was already a line of waiters waiting at the door to welcome them. Regardless of gender, every single one of them had a warm smile on their faces. They bowed humbly and said, "Welcome."
Everyone was startled by such a scene.
That included Lu Yuan and Lu Qi.
"Dad, what's going on with the Grand Capital Hotel? We've never received such a high standard of reception the last time we came." Lu Qi looked calm on the surface, but the vanity in his heart had reached its peak. He asked anyway.
Lu Yuan's heart was also slightly shaken. He took a deep breath and said with uncertainty, "Last time, I had a meal here with a leader of the Lu Group. I was lucky enough to meet the owner of the Grand Capital Hotel here. I guess they're giving me face."
"Dad, the people you know are really amazing," Lu Qi said.
"Of course. A meal here costs tens of thousands, and we're talking about projects worth more than 100 million yuan!" Lu Yuan chuckled and pretended to be mysterious.
As they spoke, several waiters came over. "Welcome, distinguished guests."
"We've booked private room 666." Lu Yuan straightened his collar, coughed softly, and said in a dignified manner.
"Okay, please follow me." The waiter immediately led the way in front.
Upon entering the private room, all kinds of tea, water, snacks, and fruits were properly arranged. There were even two rows of waiters standing respectfully on both sides.
"You guys are …" Lu Yuan asked in surprise.
"We'll be right here. If you have any services, please let us know at any time," the waiter said with a smile.
There were so many waiters serving only one private room. This kind of special treatment could definitely be described as the highest standard.
"Ahem, your boss is really too polite." Lu Yuan laughed, his face glowing. He said to Ye Jin, "I have some friendship with the owner of this hotel. I didn't expect him to take such care of me. Sigh, I'm too popular. There's nothing I can do."
"Wow, this is the first time I've enjoyed this kind of treatment. If I tell others, they'll probably die of envy. I can't take it anymore. I have to post it on my WeChat Moments." Lu Qi also looked excited. She took out her mobile phone and took a photo, preparing to add a pair of pretentious words.
Then, she tentatively said to a waiter, "I want to eat an orange."
Immediately, the waiter plucked an orange for her and served it to her, piece by piece.
As she ate, she said proudly to Ye Lingchen and the other two, "This is just a small scene. Don't be scared silly. If you have any requests, just let us know. Today, you're basking in our glory. Next time, you definitely won't get this kind of treatment."
Ye Lingchen glanced at her with a faint smile but did not say anything.
Soon, dishes were served one after another. First was the cold dish. The ingredients were absolutely fresh and each was incomparably exquisite.
Then, the hot dishes were also served. They looked, smelled, and tasted great.
"Old Ye, try this. Abalone is definitely not available in Rugao City!" Lu Yuan said. "And this, shark's fin! Don't you villagers always talk about shark's fin and abalone? Take advantage of today and eat your fill. "
"And this, pufferfish. It's definitely good stuff. You've never eaten it before, right? This thing tastes absolutely delicious, but it's naturally poisonous. Only special cooking skills can remove the toxins. It's extremely rare!"
Lu Yuan introduced the dishes one by one with a flushed face. Lu Qi and Sun Hong also interjected from time to time. In their eyes, it was as if they were watching a country bumpkin enter the city.
"The steak is here. This is the specialty of the Grand Capital Hotel. It's very tasty!" Lu Yuan said.
Along with the steak, a knife and fork were served. Xu Zhen frowned at the knife and fork, then looked at the chopsticks. For a moment, she did not know what to do.
Pfft!
Lu Qi looked at Xu Zhen and could not help but let out a mocking laugh …
