Chapter 1189: Chapter 552: Monitor, I’m Really Starting to Like You More and More!

The lobby manager saw Lin Baici and the other two enter, immediately came forward: "Please come this way, all three of you!"

"Do you have private rooms?"

Lin Baici glanced around, more than half of the seats were occupied, it was quite noisy, with smoke and alcohol fumes blending together, creating a unique restaurant aroma.

"Sir, here’s the thing, our private rooms require at least six people!"

Before the lobby manager could finish, Ji Xinyan interrupted her.

"Is there a minimum charge?"

Ji Xinyan disliked the smell of smoke in the lobby.

"No!"

The lobby manager discreetly sized up the three of them. Lin Baici and Ji Xinyan looked like college students, Feng Ting was dressed professionally, appearing like a junior white-collar worker or perhaps in sales. Although she was older, she clearly wasn’t the decision-maker.

The girl speaking had expensive-looking clothes and the Chanel she wore didn’t seem like a knockoff.

"Can we use a private room if we order 3000 yuan worth of food? If yes, lead us there; if no, we’ll go somewhere else!"

Lin Baici did not want to waste words.

The lobby manager, working in catering, dealt with many people daily, but there were few who negotiated like Lin Baici, which made her slightly uncertain about how to handle him.

A meal for 3000 yuan was already quite a lavish expense, but what if this youngster goes in and doesn’t order that much?

They couldn’t just kick them out, could they?

Why do private rooms require at least six people, if not to earn more?

"Dawdling!"

Ji Xinyan hooked her arm through Lin Baici’s: "Let’s not eat here, let’s find another place!"

"Madam, our Guangde Tower is well-known for its Cantonese cuisine in Haijing, absolutely worth your visit. Please come this way, this way!"

With a smile, the lobby manager led the way in front, taking Lin Baici and the others to the private room.

She had the waiter serve tea and handed the menu to Lin Baici.

"Bring two more!"

Lin Baici casually handed one to Ji Xinyan, it’s true what they say, money does bring confidence: "Sister Ting, order whatever you’d like, don’t be shy with us."

Hearing Lin Baici say ’us’ instead of ’me’, Ji Xinyan felt particularly pleased.

Feng Ting looked over the menu briefly, then felt overwhelmed.

Oh my goodness,

So expensive?

Roast goose costing over five hundred?

Could it be just because there’s an extra ’Emperor’ in its name, it’s that pricey?

If it were chicken legs, I could eat one every day for over a month.

"What are your signature dishes?"

Lin Baici flipped through the menu, the pictures looked appealing.

"All those on the first page!"

The lobby manager began to list the dishes when the good-looking guy spoke up.

"One of each!"

After Lin Baici spoke, the previously slightly indifferent lobby manager immediately returned to Lin Baici’s side, hands clasped in front of her belly.

Gosh!

Definitely a big spender!

Feng Ting quickly glanced at the prices and silently calculated: four dishes, adding up to roughly 1500 yuan.

"Get a steamed Dongxing garoupa, golden crab with tofu soup, and one Eight Treasures winter melon pot, do you two want any drinks?"

Ji Xinyan ordered, much more efficiently than Feng Ting, clearly a frequent visitor to high-end restaurants.

"I’ll pass!"

Feng Ting dared not order anything.

"I’d like to try the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, I’ve seen it in historical TV dramas before, it seems very famous!"

Lin Baici turned to the page with Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

"This dish, each chef makes it differently, getting an authentic taste isn’t easy!"

Ji Xinyan commented.

"Oh!"

Lin Baici was dissuaded, but Ji Xinyan instructed the lobby manager: "Bring one!"

"One serving? Or one pot?"

The lobby manager inquired.

"A whole serving!"

Ji Xinyan felt like rolling her eyes, most restaurant’s one pot was just a few spoonfuls, would that even be enough for our Senior Monitor to rinse his mouth?

"Okay!"

The lobby manager’s heart settled completely, feeling confident about her decision to lead them to the private room,

Wise.

Feng Ting looked at it, my goodness,

One serving for 1888!

"Let’s leave it at that, too much will be wasteful, we can talk about staples later."

Ji Xinyan closed the menu.

"Would you like any drinks?"

The lobby manager was pleased, this meal would bring in almost 5000 yuan,

A big order!

"Bring five Jiaduo Baos!"

Ji Xinyan didn’t want to waste time, so she decisively made the decision for everyone.

Lin Baici had no objections.

Feng Ting was freeloading and clearly had no say.

Now was peak dining time, and Guangde Tower was a famous spot with many patrons, which meant the kitchen was busy and serving dishes could be slow. However, seeing that Lin Baici and his group were big spenders, the lobby manager wanted to win them over and specifically instructed the kitchen to prioritize their orders and not make the valued guests wait.

The roast goose was pre-prepared, just needed to be sliced and served, so it came out the fastest.

Feng Ting thought the presentation alone was worth fifty yuan.

"Senior Monitor, it only just occurred to me when we were looking at houses, anyone would have asked us a few questions seeing how young we are, but that wealthy lady didn’t, she eagerly showed us around the villa instead, which really tells us something - she’s desperate to sell."

Ji Xinyan analyzed.

Lin Baici nodded, he had only just realised this himself.

Feng Ting hurriedly apologized: "Bai Ci, I’m sorry, it was my lack of thorough investigation that nearly caused you a big loss!"

Feng Ting wanted to explain that it wasn’t her negligence, but that the purchase had been too rushed and they hadn’t reached the investigation stage yet, but Lin Baici was no longer listening.

"It’s alright,"

Lin Baici smiled: "Let’s eat, everyone dig in!"

"Alright!"

Feng Ting breathed a sigh of relief, and inhaling the fragrance of the roast goose, she also wanted to take a photo of the beautifully arranged dish, but seeing Lin Baici and Ji Xinyan not taking photos, she felt embarrassed to take out her phone.
