Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang stood up, but before they could even take their first step, a waitress in the private room rushed over to stop them.
"You two, you can't leave."
The waiter hurriedly spoke up, preventing them from leaving.
"ah?"
Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang were taken aback, wondering what the waiter meant.
Ye Chen has already paid, so why can't he leave?
"Sir, Madam, please don't misunderstand, I have no ill intentions, I just want to tell you that you have won the lottery."
Seeing that Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang were somewhat displeased, the waiter quickly offered an explanation.
"You won the lottery?"
The waiter's words surprised Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang even more.
"What prize did you win?"
Ye Chen asked, puzzled.
I didn't buy any lottery tickets or anything, and besides, this is just a high-end restaurant, what prize could I possibly win?
"Sir, you are our restaurant's [number] guest this year."
The waiter quickly explained to Ye Chen:
"According to our restaurant's rules, we will be giving you a free meal today, and we will also give you a mystery prize."
"The prizes have already been prepared."
"First guest, free of charge?"
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, sir, congratulations."
The waiter had a big smile on his face.
"No need, my girlfriend and I have things to do, and we didn't spend much money, so it doesn't matter whether it's free or not."
Ye Chen waved his hand.
They just paid the bill; Ye Chen and his group only spent a little over [amount missing] this time.
Without even 100,000 yuan, whether the order is free or not is meaningless to Ye Chen.
This amount of money isn't even worth as much as the interest Ye Chen would earn in an hour if he deposited it in any random bank.
Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang were planning to go to the night market tonight, so how could they waste time here?
Whether it's free or not, it doesn't really matter.
"ah?"
Ye Chen's answer caught the waiter off guard.
This customer just spent tens of thousands, and now they don't want it anymore?
Is this what rich people are like?
Is time more important than money?
After saying that, Ye Chen and Su Ning Shuang walked outside before the waiter could say anything more.
As a result, Ye Chen went into the private room, and after only a few steps, he discovered the problem.
Originally, on the second floor of the Shanwailou Restaurant, in addition to the private rooms, there was also a large hall for receiving ordinary guests.
When Ye Chen arrived, the second-floor lobby was about two-thirds full of guests.
Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang arrived a little earlier, so there were fewer guests.
But it's lunchtime now, and logically, the hall outside should be packed with customers.
When Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang came out, they found the second-floor lobby completely empty, without a single guest.
This is very strange.
"There's definitely something wrong."
Su Ningshuang whispered to Ye Chen.
She realized this too; something was definitely wrong.
Upon noticing Ye Chen emerge from the private room and prepare to leave, several waiters in the lobby rushed over.
"Please don't leave..."
"You've won! Please wait a moment..."
Several waitresses blocked Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang's path, claiming that they had won a prize, and refused to let them leave.
At this moment, Ye Chen didn't believe any of that nonsense about winning the lottery.
"Are you sure you don't want us to leave?"
Ye Chen coldly questioned the group.
Ye Chen had plenty of ways to easily leave this place.
The waiters were immediately embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.
This was an order from above. Although they dared not offend the guests, they dared not offend their superiors even more.
"Who ordered you to do this here?"
Ye Chen asked again.
These few waiters alone couldn't do that.
"I made them do it."
Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, a domineering voice came from the stairwell not far away.
Immediately afterwards, Fan Qingpu and his son Fan Yuanbai, accompanied by more than a dozen bodyguards, stormed in aggressively.
"It's you?"
Ye Chen immediately noticed that Fan Yuanbai, who was standing in front of them, was the same tall, arrogant boy from the Bailuo Mountain scenic spot.
"What, you still remember me?"
Fan Yuanbai glared at Ye Chen, gritting his teeth.
This kid made him kneel down and call me "Dad" in front of so many tourists. This is absolutely intolerable.
He had never suffered such injustice before.
As for the "Step by Step Thrilling" project, where the loser had to kneel down and call him "Dad," Fan Yuanbai selectively forgot that it was something he had deliberately provoked to embarrass Ye Chen.
"Kid, you dare to make my son kneel down? You're the first one in Zhonghai Province to do that."
Fan Qingpu stared at Ye Chen with a livid face.
"Really? I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to do the second one today."
Ye Chen's playful reply was no less imposing than Fan Qingpu's.
Needless to say, the whole "winning the lottery" thing, and the fact that they wouldn't let me leave, was definitely the work of that father and son.
Those who want to mess with themselves will definitely pay a heavy price!
Ye Chen's guess was correct; this was the matter that Fan Qingpu had specifically asked the general manager of Shanwailou to do on the way.
Fan Qingpu didn't want Ye Chen to leave Shanwailou, otherwise it would be more troublesome to search for him again.
Upon hearing Ye Chen's "bold words," Fan Qingpu and his son were once again so angry that their chests heaved violently.
"presumptuous!!!"
