In particular, Su Xinyi spoke these words with the naturalness of a seasoned businessman.
This overwhelmed even their group of old classmates.
Su Xinyi pretended to be angry and said, "Since that's not the case, then stay and have a good meal. If you like it, please help me spread the word."
At this point, she leaned closer to the group and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft:
"I have some news for you guys: this restaurant might be offering free drinks in the future!"
"Huh?" The old classmates were all shocked.
Meanwhile, some guests who were nearby also heard this and were shocked, their mouths agape.
Free drinks?
What's the meaning?
But I always felt like they were getting a bargain.
Su Xinyi explained with a smile, "From now on, the drinks will be free, you only need to pay for the food. It's perfect for entertaining guests and gatherings, don't you think?"
"Really?" a male student asked.
"Of course."
The male student who asked the question clapped his hands and said, "That's great! If the wine is free, won't we save a lot of money on banquets in the future? My uncle is having a full moon celebration, so I'll tell him when I get back."
"Okay," Su Xinyi readily agreed.
She had heard Ye Beiping mention this kind of activity before, and it was certain that it would be open to the public.
We aim to become the first restaurant in Hangzhou to offer free drinks.
Ideally, this model should be expanded into a chain; that would be the best approach.
The girl who had just mentioned that her aunt had gone to the hospital for a checkup chimed in, "My aunt is pregnant too. I'll tell my second uncle the news and ask them to come here for her baby's one-month celebration."
"good."
Finally, at Su Xinyi's invitation, the awkwardness from before dissipated, and they began to return to the private room in an orderly manner.
The kitchen staff started serving the dishes.
The guests in the hall were left in shock, staring at each other in disbelief.
I plan to ask Ye Xiaoxin at the front desk when I pay the bill later if this is true.
Back in the private room, Su Qingwen immediately asked, "Xinyi, isn't it a bit premature to say the drinks are free? Business is good, why offer free drinks?"
With Min Yuehua's help, Su Xinyi sat down and smiled slightly as she noticed everyone looking at her with interest.
"Actually, this is what Beiping said before. No matter what, we must offer free drinks, otherwise how can we compete with state-run restaurants?"
"Especially for banquets, the temptation of free drinks is huge for them."
At this moment, Zhou Xiaomei suddenly asked, "But state-run restaurants also offer free drinks."
Su Xinyi slowly shook her head at this: "They won't do."
Um?
Everyone stared at Su Xinyi in surprise, their heads full of question marks.
Why not?
After a while, Su Xinyi began to explain: "Beiping said that state-owned procedures are cumbersome, and the free drinks involve so many state-owned restaurants. Haven't you ever thought about the issue of corruption? Do you know how many accounts are outstanding in state-owned restaurants? Even if the higher-ups know that they can't compete with Xile Hotel in terms of business, they will not choose to compromise."
"I see." The group nodded thoughtfully.
However, not everyone understands the issues involved.
Because every industry has its own rules, especially official institutions, which definitely have a set of operating procedures.
Ye Beiping's appearance was a breaking of these rules.
If some rules are not broken, it will be difficult for people at the bottom to get ahead. You can't expect everyone to take the civil service exam, can you?
How many people are admitted each year?
Soon the kitchen brought the dishes to the table one by one. Su Qingwen and Min Yuehua ate in a more refined manner, unlike Tang Xiaolong and Jiang He who wolfed down their food.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaomei frowned and slapped Tang Xiaolong's arm in annoyance, saying, "Can't you eat slower? Are you a starving ghost reincarnated? Doesn't your family feed you?"
"mom."
Tang Xiaolong cried out in pain and said, "You have no idea that I haven't been home for the past few days. I've been drinking outside every day and haven't eaten much. How could I not be hungry? Besides, I gave a gift. We paid for all those firecrackers ourselves. What's wrong with eating a little more?"
These words brought smiles to Su Qingwen and Min Yuehua's faces.
Tang Xiaolong seems like a little kid, which is quite cute.
Zhou Xiaomei blushed, truly at a loss for words when it came to her son. She could only complain, "Who told you to be away from home all the time, drinking outside all the time?"
It makes me angry just thinking about it.
Unexpectedly, Jiang He retorted from the side: "This is not our fault. Beiping sent me to Hangzhou on a mission."
"What mission?" everyone asked in unison.
