Chapter 643 Guests come to stay
"Miss Fang, Sister Qi is inside. I'll take you in."
It wasn't that Erpang was being snobbish; it was just that Fang Luxue's arrival was too opportune, causing his expression to change quickly, becoming undeniably ingratiating.
Actually, he was just happy that Fang Luxue had come!
Fang Luxue waved her hand, indicating that Erpang didn't need to worry about her and could walk inside on his own.
The restaurant was packed with customers, and there were no empty seats.
The waiter carried a tray and walked back and forth between several tables of customers; it was clear that they were short-staffed.
Looking again, Wan Qiqi and Zhu Chengye were standing in front of the counter, talking about something, their expressions showing some anxiety.
Fang Luxue glanced at it, then strode towards the counter and called out, "Sister Qi~ Do you miss me?"
"That's about it..." Wan Qiqi had just told Zhu Chengye about Xiao Han and the things in the suburbs, and briefly explained her plans, when she was interrupted by Fang Luxue who suddenly barged in.
Wan Qiqi wasn't annoyed; she smiled and said, "Little Xue'er, what brings you here? Are you craving something sweet again?"
She often changed how she addressed Fang Luxue, calling her whatever came to mind, and Fang Luxue never minded.
"Do you really think I'm such a glutton? Of course I only think of you when there's something good." Fang Luxue didn't act like a proper young lady in front of Wan Qiqi, instead hooking her arm around Wan Qiqi's and acting coquettishly.
Wan Qiqi nodded, revealing a doting smile.
"I'll take you to a fun place and show you something different!" Fang Luxue said, then looked at Zhu Chengye and winked.
Zhu Chengye waved his hand, "Go! I'll keep an eye on the restaurant. We'll discuss everything carefully and take our time!"
This wasn't his first time doing business; he knew that rushing things wasn't a good idea.
Xinglong Restaurant has only been around for half a year, but it has already expanded from Hefeng Town to Yunhe County and is now approaching Chun Changzai. Many things are still unstable.
Now is not a good time to expand; waiting and remaining calm are the best options.
Wan Qiqi understood, so she didn't dwell on it and chose to take it slow.
However, now is the best season for cold drinks, so we still need to find a way to launch them separately.
Seeing that Zhu Chengye had made up his mind, Fang Luxue immediately pulled Wan Qiqi outside, saying, "Sister Qi, you need to go out and explore so you can find out what other restaurants are doing and surpass them."
“Yes, you’re right!” Wan Qiqi smiled and let Fang Luxue pull her along.
"Have you been to Kelaiju? Let me tell you, they have a performance today, exotic song and dance, you've definitely never seen anything like it!" Fang Luxue let go of Wan Qiqi, letting her walk on her own, muttering, "The girls there look different from ours, but they're really beautiful..."
As Fang Luxue spoke, the image of a dancer appearing in her mind made her seem somewhat infatuated.
Wan Qiqi smiled helplessly and remained silent.
If the dancer and Aji were from the same place, she could probably imagine what kind of dance they would be doing.
Using exotic styles to win people's favor is a valid marketing tactic.
Wan Qiqi was thinking when she suddenly remembered drinking with Aji. She vaguely remembered that Chen Yongnian came and then Aji left!
She also needs to apologize to Aji and thank him for the wine.
A large crowd gathered at the entrance of Kelaiju Restaurant, but they were all stopped at the door and not allowed to enter.
Upon seeing this, Fang Luxue sighed, "Luckily I was smart enough to have someone reserve a spot in advance, otherwise we would have been stopped outside too."
She pulled Wan Qiqi along, squeezed through the crowd, and said to the waiter in charge, "Wan Qiqi has already made a reservation. May we go in?"
Fang Luxue didn't act like a spoiled young lady, and she booked under the name Wan Qiqi, not wanting to reveal her identity and attract unnecessary trouble.
Even if she didn't reveal her identity, many people would recognize her if she stood on the street.
One must certainly get to know and curry favor with the daughter of the county magistrate.
The waiter was taken aback upon hearing the name, then sized up the two women before him, quickly identifying Wan Qiqi as the woman. He smiled and ushered her inside, saying, "Ms. Wan, our young master has chosen the perfect spot for you to watch the performance. Please follow me!"
Wan Qiqi nodded, showing little emotional fluctuation.
Fang Luxue was somewhat surprised. She tugged at Wan Qiqi's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Sister Qi, do you know their young master?"
She had visited Kelaiju several times, always to see performances, but had never seen or known the young master of Kelaiju.
"I've seen the Xiao family's birthday banquet before." Wan Qiqi had just finished answering Fang Luxue when someone greeted her.
"Mr. Wan, are you here at Kelaiju to watch the performance too?" a well-dressed man asked.
"Just take a look around, I won't disturb your enjoyment, please have a drink!" Wan Qiqi said with a smile, then lifted her skirt and went upstairs.
Fang Luxue turned around and glanced at the middle-aged man, asking curiously, "Do you know him?"
"I don't know them." Wan Qiqi answered decisively. Seeing that Fang Luxue still had doubts, she added, "They might be someone who has been to Xinglong Restaurant."
There have been too many wealthy people dining at the restaurant lately, and she can't remember them all, so she can only rely on her memory.
The person looked familiar, but she really couldn't recognize who it was.
A short while later, we went up to the second floor and entered a private room.
The second floor of Kelaiju is quite interesting; it's not a traditional corridor.
The second-floor corridor is in the middle, with private rooms on one side facing the outside view and the other side facing the interior of the restaurant.
Aji reserved a private room in the restaurant for Wan Qiqi.
There is a large window facing the restaurant; if you open it, you can see the stage where the performances are taking place on the first floor.
Wan Qiqi's private room faces the stage directly, making it the best viewing spot on the second floor.
If it weren't for Aji's arrangement, this spot would have been given to other guests who were watching!
Coming up from the first floor, there were all sorts of people, but most of them were young masters from aristocratic families, discussing the dancers who had come, clearly there for the performance.
