Chapter 34: Tens of millions reserved for a banquet to improve meals during the apocalypse.
When Lin Muyan returned to the private room, she had already composed herself and put Rong Muchen out of her mind.
When Lin Xiaonuan saw Lin Muyan return, she quickly waved to her.
"Sis, why are you so slow? Eat up! I saved a lot for you. These dishes are all so delicious!"
Lin Xiaonuan was so full from eating that she could barely stand up straight. Her small body, with its frog-like belly, was doing exercises in place.
Lin Muyan laughed and said, "What are you doing?"
"I need to exercise to burn some calories. The food here is so delicious, but my stomach is only so big, I can't eat much. I'll exercise a bit and then eat some more later."
Lin Xiaonuan's thinking was simple: this place looked very expensive, so there was no way she would come back to eat here a second time. Her sister's money couldn't be wasted like this, so she naturally had to eat her fill and not waste it.
Lin Muyan was amused by Xiao Nuan's reaction and was suddenly inspired.
Time flows completely still in the white space, so why can't she stock up on more ready-made dishes?
In the apocalypse, cooking will become increasingly difficult.
Initially, the gas supply should be maintained for a period of time, but if this continues for too long, social order will be disrupted, society will cease to function, and the gas supply will inevitably be interrupted.
If you want to cook food, you can only choose to stock up on some convenient fuels, such as portable gas stoves, solid alcohol, etc.
Or, you can use the most primitive method: burning charcoal.
But this means she has to stockpile a lot of food and prepare a lot of fuel.
Instead of doing that, why not stock up on some ready-made or pre-cooked meals? They're delicious and convenient.
Thinking of this, Lin Muyan suddenly became interested and casually called over the receptionist.
"If I want to order a banquet from you, can I get a discount?"
Receptionist: "How many tables would you like to book, and what size?"
Lin Muyan thought for a moment and said:
"Twenty tables will be booked for each type of banquet."
Upon hearing this, the receptionist was stunned and stood frozen in place.
Miss Shen wants to book so many tables. Their hotel has five different types of banquets, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands per table. Wouldn't that be tens of millions?
"Ms. Shen, please wait a moment. You have too many reservations. I need to ask our manager."
The receptionist rushed out of the private room, looking very excited.
After everyone left, Lin Xiaonuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Sis, why are you ordering a banquet? And such a large one at that?"
Lin Muyan smiled mysteriously and said, "I won't tell you. Don't tell anyone else that I booked the banquet here, not even your parents, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaonuan immediately swore that she was very tight-lipped and definitely not the kind of person who would talk big.
Soon, the receptionist arrived excitedly with their manager.
When the manager saw Lin Muyan, he smiled broadly, as if he had seen a god of wealth.
"Miss Shen, I heard you want to book twenty tables of each type of banquet?"
This was their biggest order since they opened. The manager was practically floating on air. If this order went through, his commission would be limitless. How could he not be excited?
Lin Muyan nodded calmly.
"That's right, based on the current menu, each size requires twenty tables, but I want to take them all away. I wonder if it's possible to finish it within one day?"
The manager was so overwhelmed by this huge surprise that his breathing quickened. He hurriedly pulled out his calculator and started calculating rapidly, finally smiling broadly as he said:
"The timing is no problem at all, Miss Shen. If you really want to book this way, our hotel is willing to close for a day just to prepare it for you!"
"Of course, regarding the discount, within my authority, I will definitely give you the maximum discount possible, a 30% discount. Is that acceptable to you?"
Lin Muyan glanced at the number on the calculator; it was about ten million, which wasn't unacceptable.
Since she got the golden shovel, she's never short of money.
These past few days, she's been digging up antiques, top-quality raw stones, and other valuable items every now and then. She's entrusted these treasures to third-party auctions, so she's not worried about not getting a high price for them.
Her personal account is receiving new money every day. When the apocalypse comes, the numbers in the card will really just be numbers, and she'll have to spend them quickly.
A total of one hundred tables of food were ordered, covering all the dishes available here, to improve the meals during the apocalypse. Lin Muyan placed the order on the spot and paid a deposit of one million.
The manager was beaming from ear to ear, and immediately waived their bill for the day, saying:
"Miss Chen, as agreed, our hotel will be closed tomorrow to provide you with special services. After we're done, shall I deliver to your door or...?"
"I'll pick up the goods myself tomorrow evening and settle the balance at the same time."
"Alright, alright, Miss Shen, please take care."
The manager bowed and scraped as he saw Lin Muyan off at the door before excitedly returning to the kitchen.
We need to prepare all 100 tables of food by tomorrow; that's a huge undertaking.
The receptionist was puzzled. "Manager, why did Miss Shen order so much all at once? Mrs. Shen just came by a few days ago. I haven't heard anything about any happy occasion in the Shen family."
The manager didn't care about any of that. After thinking for a moment, he warned:
"Don't talk about our important guests. Miss Shen is our big client. Why are you bothering her about ordering so much? We just need to get paid and do our job."
Not long after Lin Muyan left, Rong Muchen was also carried out of the private room by a group of people. The manager happened to pass by and, knowing the relationship between Miss Shen and this Young Master Rong, couldn't help but have a change of heart.
Could it be that the Shen and Rong families are about to have a wedding? Is Miss Shen going to celebrate early?
He couldn't help but smile and take two steps forward to greet them.
"Young Master Rong, you've had too much to drink. Would you like us to send a car to take you home?"
Although Rong Muchen was being carried, he was still conscious. He was a regular customer and knew the manager well. Seeing the manager's radiant face, he couldn't help but tease him:
"Smiling so brightly, did the manager make a fortune today?"
"Haha, isn't that right?" The manager couldn't suppress his smile; thanks to Miss Chen, he had a generous commission today.
Rong Muchen usually wouldn't bother chatting with these insignificant people, but today, perhaps because he'd had too much to drink, he was being rather talkative and couldn't help but press for answers:
"What big fortune did you make? Tell us so everyone can be happy for you."
The manager laughed it off.
"Young Master Rong, if you want to know, why don't you ask Miss Shen yourself?"
Miss Shen probably wanted to keep it a secret, and she wasn't in the same private room as Young Master Rong today. She must have wanted to give him a surprise. The manager was very perceptive and didn't say anything.
Rong Muchen was taken aback upon hearing this. "Miss Chen? She's here today too?"
The manager, unsuspecting, replied, "Yes, it's right next to your private room. You two were practically side by side."
Rong Muchen nodded upon hearing this, but didn't take it to heart. He didn't have much of a relationship with Shen Jiaojiao, but he felt sorry for her from the bottom of his heart.
She had a perfectly good life as a rich girl, but because of a maid's selfishness, she suffered for twenty years before finally returning to her wealthy family as an adult. It's a real pity that she wasted her best years.
Shen Jiaojiao is now the true heiress of the Shen family. To make up for it, Aunt Shen and the others will naturally take her out to enjoy life more. It's not strange that she comes here to dine.
