Meg spent the entire day making mooncakes, and he canceled the dinner service so that he could focus on making more mooncakes in preparation for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala that night.
The restaurant had a simple decor, with little colored lights twined around the tree at the entrance of the restaurant a few times. There was a small sign on the lawn that told people not to step on it, and there was a large open space behind the lawn. That was clearly the main venue for tonight's gala as the stage had been set up there.
Meg's idea was very simple; he wanted to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in this world, so he could bring together both familiar and unfamiliar people.
Prior to the expansion of the restaurant, there was no need for publicity. Just the current number of customers was enough to fill the restaurant to capacity every day.
"This owner really is something. His restaurant has only been open for a little over a month, and he's already made it onto the Aden Square food competition rankings board, then won over a major restaurant, and now, he's holding this Mid-Autumn Festival Gala."
"I know, right? Ricky's Rotisserie is located at the entrance of the Aden Square, and it takes up quite a lot of space. If he were to move his restaurant there, his business would definitely increase by severalfold."
"Speaking of which, we should be thanking him. In the past, we rarely had customers here, but recently, our business has been increasing by leaps and bounds. Many of our customers are coming out for another meal after eating at Mamy's."
"Mamy's has always been different from ours. Their food starts at 200 copper coins, and they're targeting high-end restaurants. However, both rich and poor people like to eat there. Even if it's just a small dessert, customers who aren't full and don't have much money will naturally choose to eat at our restaurant."
"I can already sense that Ducas Restaurant's position is being threatened. If these two restaurants were to clash one day, it would definitely be very interesting."
In the distance, the restaurant owners had gathered together again, and they were discussing in low voices. However, on this occasion, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, and everyone was chatting and laughing.
A horse-drawn carriage drove past everyone, and Gloria lifted the curtain to look in the direction of Mamy's with a hint of nervousness in her eyes.
"Will Mr. Meg agree?" Gloria murmured to herself, but her gaze gradually became determined. She clenched her fists, and said, "This is the only chance we have to turn the tables. We have to get Mr. Mag's permission first."
The carriage stopped in front of the restaurant and Gloria slowly got off the carriage. She looked at Meg who was about to walk into the restaurant and quickly said, "Mr. Meg, please wait a moment."
"Miss Gloria, are you looking for me?" Meg turned around and looked at Gloria in surprise. She hadn't come to the restaurant for the past few days.
"Yes, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. I wonder if you have time now?" Gloria nodded. She was a little nervous as she gripped her skirt, but her eyes were still staring into Meg's eyes.
"Although I don't know what you want to discuss with me, if it doesn't take up too much of my time, then please come in. The restaurant will be holding the mid-autumn festival banquet soon, so I'll be a little busy, so I don't have much time." Meg looked into Gloria's beautiful lavender eyes with a smile.
"It won't take up too much of your time." Gloria's face lit up with joy as she quickly nodded and followed Meg into the restaurant.
"Please take a seat. What does Miss Gloria want to discuss with me?" Meg came out with a cup of water and gently placed it on the table as he looked at Gloria and spoke in a gentle voice.
Gloria looked at Meg, and her originally nervous heart calmed down a lot. She sat down on a chair and looked at Meg, who was sitting across from her. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Mr. Meg, I'm here today to obtain your authorization for the design of Amy's dress."
"Authorization for the design of the dress?" Meg was stunned. He looked into Gloria's sincere eyes and was a little confused for a moment.
"Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Gloria Moreton, the eldest granddaughter of Family Moreton. I'm currently one of the candidates for the successor of the Family Moreton, and I'll be competing with my second uncle, Cyril Moreton, for the position of sole successor." Gloria looked at Meg with a sincere expression.
"Hmm!" Meg raised an eyebrow and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with undisguised surprise in his eyes.
Family Moreton had controlled the Aden Chamber of Commerce for decades, and was also the first family that he wanted to overthrow in his plan. The Aden Chamber of Commerce and the Family Moreton behind it had become the largest group of people in Chaos City who discriminated against half-breeds because of that old man, Geoffrey Moreton.
What Meg didn't expect was that this beautiful girl, who had been wearing a veil before taking it off under the special effects of the tofu pudding, was actually one of the candidates for the successor of Family Moreton. This wasn't in the information that he had obtained about the Family Moreton, so his first reaction was that this girl was probably a fraud.
"My father is Lance Moreton, and he used to be the successor of Family Moreton. However, he later became a teacher at Chaos School. After taking off my veil, I made a bet with my grandfather and won the position of successor. You said that we should choose what we want to do, right?" Gloria said to Meg.
"I see. Then congratulations, Miss Gloria. But what does this have to do with the authorization of the dress?" Meg raised an eyebrow. Everything made sense now. According to the information that he had received, Geoffrey Moreton's eldest son did indeed have an 18-year-old daughter, but there was very little information about her, and he didn't even know her name. Who would have thought that she would become the successor of Family Moreton in the blink of an eye after taking off her veil?
"Even though I've become the successor, my grandfather clearly doesn't really want to hand over Family Moreton to me. It's more likely that he wants me to become the wolf behind Cyril and force him to grow. As such, what I received was a textiles shop that had been incurring heavy losses for several years in a row. Furthermore, my grandfather gave me a one-month deadline; if I can't turn the losses into profits, he'll close the shop, and my investigation will come to an end. " Gloria leaned forward slightly as she looked at Meg with an earnest expression, and said, "Hence, I thought of making clothes of different sizes out of all of the fabrics that had been stored in the shop for many years. I also thought of the clothes that Mr. Meg designed for Amy and the waitresses in the restaurant. Those clothes are all very beautiful and unique, and I'm sure that all of our customers will love them if we release them."
"Getting rid of the inventory and developing a more profitable business system at the same time. This is a very good idea, and it's very innovative." Mag looked at Gloria with approval in his eyes. In this era where tailoring was still the norm, Gloria's idea of mass-producing clothes according to measurements was very far-sighted. Her background as a wealthy merchant family was on full display at this moment. However, he shook his head at the sight of the smile that gradually blossomed on Gloria's face. "But I don't want Amy and Miya to wear the same clothes whenever they walk down the street."
"But …" A hint of anxiety appeared on Gloria's face.
