Chapter 1066: Chapter 797 Colleague Dinner_2

There’s basically not many people willing to spend there anymore.

Except for ordinary people.

What a joke, it’s just a meal, and you want me to accommodate your time? How is that even possible?

So, the many so-called booking methods touted by the outsiders are just to fool ordinary people, coaxing them into trying to live beyond their means.

After the experience, posting about it on social media, that’s probably the typical mindset of many Little Fairies.

If you’re truly wealthy, even if you wear a simple vest and flip-flops, the waiters inside will treat you like a deity.

Those fancy restaurants, which are seen as must-visit lifetime spots by ordinary people, are just places for Chen Lu and Su Xiaoxi to grab a casual meal.

As for bringing a lot of people this time, it doesn’t really matter.

The underwater restaurant has been very popular in recent years, not because the food is particularly delicious, but because the environment is novel.

Most people come just for the atmosphere.

In terms of taste, it’s not necessarily much better than those booming little street foods.

For the first-timers, it’s quite a novelty, and people generally unconsciously lower their voice when speaking.

The concept of ’big restaurants treating customers poorly’ probably refers to situations like this.

"Hello Mr. Chen, your reserved underwater suite is ready, would you like to order freely or choose our restaurant’s set menu for groups?"

Ordering freely means everyone orders as they please, while the set menu controls the price within an acceptable range.

To avoid any awkward situations when settling the bill later.

Chen Lu just casually glanced over the menu and then said, "Let everyone order whatever they’d like, and also place a bottle of Maotai from the 80s and a bottle of Romantic Conti on each table."

The average price for Romantic Conti of regular years is around 200,000.

Special years like 1945 sell for a whopping 3.7 million per bottle.

His second sister loves the wine from that year, but it seems unnecessary for just colleagues.

The 80-year aged Maotai also costs over 200,000 per bottle.

Crafted using the batch of liquor that won an award in 1915, it comes in luxurious packaging with a yellow rosewood box and contains a 24K pure gold coin, with exceptional quality.

Just the two bottles of alcohol on each table cost about half a million.

"Little Chen, isn’t this a bit extravagant?" The small department leader couldn’t help but point out. Though he hasn’t tasted such wine, he’s certainly heard of them.

They look very expensive, easily costing tens of thousands per bottle, enticing enough that many would want to take them home.

"No problem, I’d like to thank everyone for all the support over these months."

The colleagues who came along were quite surprised; they already felt awkward coming to freeload with so many people.

Little did they know he’d also treat everyone to Romantic Conti?

Only Su Xiaoxi chuckled lightly, seemingly unfazed, even reminding everyone, "There are quite a few kids here, could you also serve some snacks that children like from your restaurant? Since we’ve got the alcohol, nobody should drive afterwards. We will arrange transportation to take everyone home."

She managed everything quite thoughtfully.

The colleagues noticed her attitude and could only think in silence.

Chen Lu married an exceptionally considerate wife, though not very thrifty.

A bit extravagant.

If only they knew that the grandfather gifted his newborn daughter an ocean shopping mall worth over 24 billion.

No one would think that way again.

Their everyday dines and wines exceed such figures.

Zhao Kai couldn’t stop himself either, "Old Four, did you strike it rich?"

"Not really, last month I made a little money investing in stocks, you know, the stock market was quite good last month."

"How much is a little? Is it enough for you to splurge like this?"

"Not much... over 20 million!"

Chen Lu can earn small money, but when it comes to big money, he’s evidently not as competent.

At least compared to his two sisters, he’s far behind.

"Holy... No wonder you dare to change jobs at will."

Zhao Kai was stunned, since when did Old Four have this amazing money-making skill, and he never knew.

Chen Lu wanted to say that earning such a small amount isn’t a big deal, nothing impressive compared to the casual losses he faced in the past.

Nearly a hundred people came along, requiring arrangements for eight tables, with about 13 people at each.

Since they didn’t choose the set menu and ordered freely, upon opening the menu, everyone was clueless about what to eat.

None of the dish names were familiar, it seemed that even the most basic veggies served here had to be given a fancy, exotic name.

As for the prices, they started from 798, maxing out at 59,800.

That’s not per table, but per dish.

A per capita consumption of over ten thousand is no joke.

Chen Lu’s table had people he was closest to, including seven men and six women with him.

Since others hadn’t been here before, Chen Lu ordered himself: "Let’s have the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Eight Treasures Turtle, Boiled Abalone Slices, Fish Maw, Shark Fin, and let’s also have a giant salamander over six kilograms, and the Braised Goose with Lion’s Head. You guys take a look at what else you want to eat and feel free to order."

Just what he ordered would cost no less than forty to fifty thousand, with others adding on, seventy to eighty thousand easily.

"Chen Lu, we’re really indulging today because of your treat, otherwise none of us could afford to feast like this," someone said.

"Yeah, with our salaries, we wouldn’t dare come to a place like this, afraid our husbands would break our legs when we got home," chuckled a married lady.

"Chen Lu is the best, eating whatever you want, this might cost half a house in Shenzhen?"

"More than half, don’t your houses cost five or six million?"

Clearly, these dozen tables with the drinks wouldn’t come under five or six million.
