Lin's mother put down the phone, walked out of the room and came to the study, knocked on the door gently, pushed it open and walked in.
Father Lin was looking at the company's quarterly report. When he saw Mother Lin come in, he put down the registration form in his hand and asked, "What's going on?"
"Qingqiu just called and said Zhan Yifeng's brother and sister-in-law are here and want to invite us out for dinner," said Lin's mother. She really wanted to meet the famous Dr. Su and see if she was really as amazing as the legend said.
"Then go." Father Lin decided and picked up the report on the table to read it again.
Mother Lin nodded and said, "I'll call Qingqiu and confirm the address with her." There are two phone lines in the study and the room. The phone in the study is mostly used to handle official business. She rarely uses it for fear of delaying her husband's work.
Back in the room, Lin's mother picked up the phone and made a call.
Lin Qingqiu was talking to Zhan Yilin when she heard her cell phone ring loudly. She saw the caller ID and said, "It's my mom." She pressed the answer button and said, "Mom."
"I've already talked to your father and he agreed. What time tonight? Which restaurant?" asked Lin's mother.
"Six o'clock in the evening, in Box 1 of the Lakeside Hotel," Lin Qingqiu said. Yilin had just told her the exact location.
"Okay, your father and I will be there on time," said Lin's mother. When she heard that they were meeting in Box 1 of the Hubin Hotel, she was shocked. The Hubin Hotel was the best hotel in Yangcheng, and it was also a favorite place for the upper class to entertain guests. It represented status, and the fact that the other party could host in Box 1 showed his extraordinary status.
Mother Lin put down the phone, still feeling a bit uneasy. It wasn't that she hadn't seen the world; on the contrary, she had been to the Lakeside Hotel more than once. But she had never seen anyone entertain guests in Box One. She'd heard that Box One wasn't accessible just to the wealthy; it required a high level of status. The Lin family was already a prestigious family in Yangcheng, yet they weren't worthy of entering Box One at the Lakeside Hotel.
When Lin's father returned to the room, he saw Lin's mother humming a song happily and looking for clothes to wear. "Why are you so happy?" They were just going out for a meal.
"Of course I'm happy. Do you know where they've booked dinner?" Lin's mother took out a cheongsam and tried it out in front of the mirror.
"Where?" Father Lin asked nonchalantly. There were only a few places in Yangcheng suitable for banquets.
"Hubin Hotel, and in Box 1." Mother Lin put the cheongsam in her hand into the closet and took out another cheongsam to compare with her body. "Which one looks best on me?"
"Is it really Room 1 at the Lakeside Hotel?" Lin's father asked, somewhat incredulously. He had previously booked Room 1 at the Lakeside Hotel, but the hotel refused, claiming it was a reserved room. He had inquired and learned that the hotel was owned by Bai Tingxue of the Beijing Bai family. The Bai family was a top family in China, and in their eyes, the Lin family was a mere insignificant little shrimp. Perhaps calling them "little shrimp" was an understatement.
Mother Lin nodded and said, "I didn't hear it wrongly. I confirmed it with Qingqiu several times." It's not like she hasn't seen the world. How could she not know what Box No. 1 of the Lakeside Hotel represents?
"It seems Zhan Yilin's brother and sister-in-law are quite influential. We can't neglect them this time," said Lin's father. Regardless of whether Zhan Yilin's brother and sister-in-law knew the Bai family, booking private room number one at the Hubin Hotel was a significant feat in itself. It wasn't just about money; it required a high level of status.
Before six o'clock, Lin's father and mother arrived at the Lakeside Hotel.
As soon as I walked into the restaurant, a waiter came up and politely asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin Guodong and Ms. Chen Lan?"
"Yes." Lin Guodong nodded.
"Mr. Zhan and his friends have arrived. Please come this way!" The waiter led the way.
Arriving at a room on the third floor, the waiter raised his hand and gently knocked on the door. After hearing the response from inside, he pushed open the door of the box and said, "Please come in, both of you!"
Lin Guodong and Chen Lan nodded and walked into the box.
The box is spacious and luxurious, with a mainly Chinese style. The whole set of Huanghuali wood tables and chairs are low-key and luxurious. The two landscape paintings on the wall are obviously authentic works of Zhang Daqian.
Lin Guodong couldn't help but secretly gasp in amazement. No wonder Box One was so hard to reserve. The decor and furnishings alone were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Dad! Mom!" Lin Qingqiu shouted happily when he saw his parents coming in.
Lin Guodong came back to his senses, walked forward, smiled and extended his hand to Zhan Yihan, saying: "I am Qingqiu's father, Lin Guodong, and this is my wife Chen Lan. I am very happy to meet you."
Zhan Yihan and Lin Guodong shook hands and said, "Please take a seat!"
Lin Guodong smiled and nodded, then sat down as he was told. He looked at Zhan Yilin and asked, "You are Zhan Yilin, right?" Originally, he didn't want his daughter to have any contact with Zhan Yilin. As a businessman, he naturally hoped to find a son-in-law for his daughter who was of equal status and could help his business. After learning that Zhan Yilin's sister-in-law was Su Jinyue, he reluctantly agreed.
Zhan Yilin smiled and nodded, "Uncle! Aunt! Hello! I am Zhan Yilin." He heard Qingqiu say that her father was a very serious person. After meeting him today, he seemed okay and not as serious as Qingqiu said.
"Yilin, when you have time, come visit your aunt." Chen Lan looked at Zhan Yilin, her eyes full of satisfaction. She now liked Zhan Yilin very much. Although Zhan Yilin's background was ordinary, his elder brother and sister-in-law were obviously not ordinary people.
"Okay, auntie, I will definitely go." Zhan Yilin said with a polite smile.
When Lin Qingqiu saw his parents' attitude, he knew that they had accepted Zhan Yilin, and his heart was filled with joy.
Chen Lan talked to Zhan Yilin for a few words, then turned to look at Su Jinyue beside her, "Doctor Su, I've heard of you a long time ago. I didn't expect to meet you. It's such an honor!" She didn't expect Su Jinyue to be so young.
Su Jinyue smiled faintly, "Aunt Lin, we are family from now on. There is no need to be so polite. Just call me Jinyue."
"Well, I won't be polite with you," Chen Lan said happily. Su Jinyue's medical skills were so good, and she had no airs at all, which was really rare.
Lin Guodong chatted with Zhan Yilin for a few words, then looked at Zhan Yihan and said, "Mr. Zhan, excuse me, are you in business?"
Zhan Yihan smiled and shook his head, "No."
"Then how did you manage to book this private room?" Lin Guodong asked. He was very curious about this. Although Su Jinyue's medical skills were excellent, she was still just a doctor.
