Amo said, "The place she actually lives is an old villa in Shanghai. What we saw last night was just where she raises insects."
"I see!"
Soon, Ah Chen and his group arrived at the private restaurant they had booked!
The receptionist greeted us warmly, but--
"Sir, I am so sorry. Due to our oversight, the room you reserved, the VIP room number one, was booked by another colleague before this time."
“It was our problem. We have already prepared another room for you, the third-class room, which is of the same level.”
"But to express our apologies, all purchases today will be 20% off. This way please."
The girl in the cheongsam was alright, but Mu Achen wasn't so easily fooled.
Amo also understood the ins and outs of this.
Sure enough, Ah Chen said, "Although they are both top-tier private rooms, there is still a difference between room number one and room number three. Besides, there is a 20% discount. As a supervisor, you shouldn't be able to make this kind of decision."
"gentlemen--"
"Don't call me 'Mr.' I'm not older than you; you're more senior than me."
cough cough--
Tang Aran, who was standing next to her, was captivated by the ambiance and decor of this private restaurant! But she was taken aback by Mu Achen's words.
The beautiful head waitress, who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six, secretly sized up Mu Achen, who was dressed in cheap clothes, and looked down on him in her heart. Instead, she dared not underestimate Amo, who was holding Achen's arm.
This girl's demeanor and her outfit were simply stunning.
"Sir, please come this way. I'll ask the boss right away," the woman in the cheongsam greeted him warmly.
Private Room No. 3
A beautiful woman in a cheongsam led in waiters, all dressed in cheongsams, who brought in a plate of "Golden Years" mangoes and three glasses of juice. She then began to introduce this rare and exquisite mango.
Her language is beautiful, her voice is lovely, but--
Ah Chen and Ah Mo remained unmoved, but Tang A Ran asked in a daze, "Is this melon really that good?"
"Our private restaurant values reputation above all else, so please rest assured; as for this juice, it is made from the most concentrated essence extracted from the legendary 'fruit heart grass,' and it is extremely nutritious. You will know once you taste it."
The woman in the cheongsam added, "Normally, our 'Golden Years' restaurant is priced at 88 yuan per serving, and the juice is 26 yuan per glass. But this time, to express our apologies, the fruit platter and juice are free."
Upon hearing this, Tang Aran actually leaned closer. He looked at it again and again, and then said, "Your plate is only twelve yuan, and each piece is so small! I took a look, and it's at most a third of a 'Golden Years' juice. As for the juice, I have to try it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Aran actually tasted a piece and took a sip of the juice. Then he said to Achen, "Brother Achen, this 'Golden Years' really is from our orchard. This juice also has the flavor of fruit heart grass. You should try it!"
Actually, Ah Chen and Ah Mo had already picked up their glasses when they heard what the woman in the cheongsam said.
Sure enough, after they tasted it, they found that it really was juice made from the fruit heart grass, and it actually sold for twenty-six yuan a cup.
Ah Chen frowned slightly.
Tang Aran whispered to Amo, "Sister, I worked part-time at the fruit orchard during the summer vacation. I told both orchards that the core grass used to wrap the fruit is only to ensure that the original flavor of the fruit is not lost. How come it makes juice?"
Amo gestured to Tang Aran to keep it a secret, then said to Achen, "This taste is definitely like fruit heart grass, could it be---"
"Unlikely, only I know the secret recipe for the fruit heart grass."
"Then this--"
"Call the orchards to check if any Miao people are selling the fruit heart grass individually; also, we have other large orders for our fruit besides the two major companies, 'Orange Fruit' and 'Candy'."
Amo nodded calmly, then got up and went to the side to make a phone call.
The woman in the cheongsam next to them couldn't understand Ah Chen and Ah Mo's conversation. She assumed the guests were still dissatisfied and was about to say something more...
Ah Chen spoke in Mandarin, "Give me the menu."
call--
The woman in the cheongsam secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly handed over the menu.
Regardless of the circumstances, even if she looked down on Ah Chen for his cheap clothes, she still got a commission while the restaurant owner made money from the meal.
"Brother Chen, aren't we going to pursue this matter?" Tang Aran asked softly.
Ah Chen didn't say he wouldn't pursue the matter; he just shook his head.
soon--
After finishing her call, Amo came over and told Achen that the fruit heart grass was not sold separately.
Ah Chen nodded to indicate that he understood, then ordered Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and several other famous dishes. He handed the menu to Ah Mo to order, while he looked up at the beautiful woman in the cheongsam.
"This juice is quite unique, but is that fruit-core herb really that magical?"
"Yes, sir, but due to the limited availability of raw materials, our restaurant also has a limited supply of one hundred cups per day, while supplies last."
"It's quite interesting."
Ah Chen's words are the truly interesting ones.
Soon, Amo finished ordering the food.
A few minutes later--
One delicious dish after another was served.
At this moment, Amo received a phone call and then said to Achen, "The owner of this restaurant is surnamed Jiang and his given name is Rong; he is not on our list of customers who sell large quantities of fruit."
"Jiang Rong? A woman?"
"right!"
"That's really strange! Fruit heart grass can be used to extract essence and make juice, but it requires the petals of a flowering fruit heart grass, and they have to be fresh. This is a bit suspicious, we need to investigate."
When Ah Chen and Ah Mo were talking about this—
After personally attending to the two important figures, Qin Feng and Ge Jun, in the private room number one, the owner, Jiang Rong, came out and immediately asked at the front desk:
"Have the guests who booked the No. 1 private room arrived yet?"
"We've arrived, and we've already assigned you to number three!"
What was their attitude?
"A fruit platter and three glasses of juice will suffice."
"That's good."
Just then, Jiang Rong's old friend He Yuanshan arrived.
Upon meeting, Jiang Rong immediately asked, "Hey old friend, where's the fruit juice you promised me? If you don't give it to me soon, I won't be able to sell any juice here."
He Yuanshan, dressed in a Tang suit with his hands behind his back, glanced at the surrounding customers as soon as he arrived, and then said with suppressed anger, "You still expect me to give you fruit heart grass flowers? Let me ask you, are your fruit platters selling for eighty-eight yuan a serving, and there are only twelve small pieces in a serving?"
"Jiang Rong, how can you do this! I provided you with those sacred fruits, and you stole my business."
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. I had no choice. The major shareholder told me to do it this way."
"Major shareholder? Ge Jun?"
Jiang Rong nodded, "That's right, they're in the No. 1 private room right now! Qin Feng is there too."
To convince her friend He Yuanshan, Jiang Rong even showed him the order for the private room.
"Look, they came at the last minute, which forced me to move out the private room number one that I had already booked, and I even had to give them a fruit platter and three glasses of juice as an apology."
He Yuanshan didn't want to look at it, but he glanced at it as if possessed, and when he saw the name of the person who placed the order, he was stunned.
