Chapter 735 I will visit you often
"No need, no need." He Bin waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm quite content with this. I was worried when you said you would arrange a job for me. You said I've never been to school, I don't have much education or experience, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do the job you arranged for me."
"I can be a security guard, it's perfect for me, it's really great."
He Bin actually has very low requirements for work; he just wants something to do so he's not idle.
Hearing his aunt's husband say this, Shen Ci smiled helplessly and nodded. There really wasn't a more suitable job at the moment, so this was the arrangement for now.
Gao Di is a department manager, so he does have some real power.
After handing her uncle over to Manager Xie, Shen Ci drove to "Shuiyunjian" again.
"Just tell me anything via WeChat. The roads are slippery in this snowy weather, so there's no need to drive all the way here."
In the general manager's office, Julie personally brewed tea for Shen Ci: "Have something hot to drink."
"I happened to go to 'Yunshang Tiangong' today, thinking of renovating it. The idea came about because of 'Shuiyun Jian'. Although it's well-maintained, I noticed some parts need to be redone, so I thought I'd come and let you know."
“We just had a major overhaul two years ago,” Julie said.
Shen Ci, holding her teacup, replied, "Sometimes old, sometimes new. I've paid special attention to things like the dampness on the tables and chairs in the Chinese restaurant, the dampness on the walls of the spa, the rust on the ventilation vents in the cinema, and the rust on the water curtain panels in the first-floor corridor. These flaws may not seem like big deal, but they significantly affect the overall quality of 'Shuiyunjian'."
"It's impressive that you noticed all of this." Julie nodded admiringly. "Alright, I'll have each department thoroughly inspect their respective areas to identify any old or dilapidated sections. We'll then submit a unified report and renovate them all at once. After all, details determine success or failure. Given the location and price of 'Shuiyun Jian,' we have to do our best."
After saying that, Julie stood up and called to Shen Ci, "Haven't eaten yet? Our 'Shuiyunjian' Japanese restaurant is having its soft opening today, and the ingredients are all top-notch. Why don't you go try some dishes?"
"So soon?" Shen Ci's eyes lit up. She liked Japanese food. "I thought it was going to be spring."
"We opened for trial operation rather quietly, but even so, all the seats for the past two weeks have already been booked out, mostly by our 'Shuiyunjian' VIP members."
Japanese cuisine has always been popular among the upper class, especially among the younger generation.
So today, most of the people sitting in the restaurant during its trial operation were young people in their twenties, mostly couples.
"Welcome to 'Suiyunjian Yuban Restaurant'. Do you have a reservation?"
At the restaurant entrance, the staff greeted the two guests with warm courtesy.
Qiu Keying was arm in arm with Li Xiao; both of them were dressed very well, a perfect match.
"Yes, Miss Qiu, the last four digits are 8866." Qiu Keying said softly, her voice filled with barely suppressed joy, perhaps because she was on a date with Li Xiao.
"Ms. Qiu, please follow me to the two people who made an appointment."
The restaurant features a private, tatami-style dining environment. Qiu Keying explained to Li Xiao, "This is a newly opened Japanese restaurant called 'Shuiyunjian.' It's currently in its soft opening phase, and reservations are extremely difficult to obtain. Only members with a Platinum card or higher can book a table during the soft opening. They say the ingredients are limited, so only half of the seats are open during the soft opening. It will be fully open after everything is settled."
"Oh, I see. That explains why you insisted I make time for you today." Li Xiao looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
Qiu Keying was slightly smug: "Because I remember you love to eat here. The ingredients here are all top-notch. You're going abroad soon, and I want to create more happy memories with you."
The mention of going abroad made Li Xiao somewhat uneasy.
Long-distance relationships have many uncertainties, and Qiu Keying is an outstanding person. He was actually very afraid that Qiu Keying would fall in love with someone else while he was away.
"Keying, will you come to see me?" Li Xiao suddenly became emotional: "I'm afraid that if we're apart for too long, I won't be able to stop missing you."
The sudden display of affection stirred Qiu Keying's heart, and she quickly nodded in response, "Of course, I'll come to see you whenever I have time."
Li Xiao smiled handsomely: "I'll come back often too. In another year, after I graduate, we can be together forever."
These words made Qiu Keying blush, and she lowered her eyes shyly: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
Almost simultaneously, Shen Ci followed Julie into the restaurant.
The two women hadn't made a reservation, and the waiter said awkwardly, "Mr. Zhu, all the private rooms are booked, and the other half of the rooms that aren't open haven't been cleaned yet. What do you think..."
Before Julie could speak, Shen Ci said directly, "It's okay, we can just sit in front of the board."
The so-called "front-of-the-table" seats are those around the teppanyaki counter, where you can watch the chef cook teppanyaki while you eat. However, these seats are usually in the main dining area and offer no privacy.
The two people were just there to try the restaurant's new dishes and didn't need any privacy. Upon hearing this, the waiter led them to a table in front of the counter, where the chef was frying foie gras.
The thick, fatty, and fragrant foie gras paired with fresh mango slices and a touch of black truffle looks delicious.
Having not eaten Japanese food for a while, Shen Ci ordered without hesitation, including sashimi, sushi, teppanyaki, sukiyaki, tempura, and everything else she wanted.
Sashimi is served first, and the quality of the sashimi is key to whether a Japanese restaurant is up to standard.
"Look, we don't use Norwegian salmon, but New Zealand king salmon, which has a more delicate texture and is richer in oil."
"The marbling of tuna fat is very appealing, and its quality is outstanding."
"The ark shell is supplied by Hokkaido. Its meat is firm and bouncy, even better than that of Arctic surf clam."
As Julie introduced the food, Shen Ci showed off, saying that once you start eating, you can't stop.
"Before, because there weren't any Japanese restaurants around here, I always had to eat out. Now it's much more convenient."
Adding a "high-end Japanese restaurant" here was also Shen Ci's idea. Her original intention was because she loves to eat and felt that since "Shuiyunjian" already has Spanish and Vietnamese restaurants, how could it be without a Japanese restaurant?
"Sister Julie, aren't you going to eat?" Shen Ci asked, seeing that Julie hadn't touched her chopsticks.
Julie smiled politely and shook her head: "I'm not used to eating raw food. Let's eat something cooked later."
Shen Ci looked regretful: "Oh? That's such a pity. I love eating raw food the most, and I love raw marinated food too! I've been eating raw marinated food from Shenzhen and Hong Kong since I was a child, and it's especially delicious!"
Just then, Qiu Keying suddenly walked out of the private room into the lobby wearing slippers and called out in a slightly loud voice, "Waitress!"
