Chapter 551 Xie Xing's Visit
The front hall of the restaurant.
After finishing their meal, Qi Yang, Pang Zhao, and the others chatted with Zhu Chengye for a few minutes before leaving.
The restaurant was constantly changing with its customers, one wave after another.
From morning to afternoon and into the evening, Xinglong Restaurant remained bustling with business.
Even without the town's membership system, the restaurant's profits today are not low, and Xinglong Restaurant can be said to have officially started its journey in Yunhe County.
Even after 5 PM, the number of people coming to eat remained the same as during the day, but the restaurant staff seemed a bit tired and made some minor mistakes.
These minor mishaps were all perfectly resolved with the mediation of the two managers, and some customers even became repeat customers.
Just then, a distinguished guest arrived at the restaurant.
"Lord Xie?" Wan Qiqi looked at Xie Xing curiously.
According to Chen Molin, Xie Xing was too busy to come over, and he didn't expect to show up at the restaurant at this time.
"Molin said the restaurant has a lot of new things, so I came to take a look." Xie Xing put one hand behind his back and rubbed the jade thumb ring on his thumb with the other.
Zhu Chengye and Wan Qiqi exchanged a glance, then Zhu Chengye smiled at Xie Xing and said, "It is an honor for Xinglong Restaurant for Lord Xie to grace our establishment with his presence. Would you please move to the third floor to sit and try our new dishes?"
Xie Xing did not answer immediately, but looked at Wan Qiqi, as if asking her if she would be willing to let him go up.
Wan Qiqi was somewhat annoyed by this, not understanding what Xie Xing was up to, and said with a forced smile, "What does Lord Xie think?"
After speaking, Xie Xing seemed to be deep in thought, and said, "I just came to take a look, so I won't sit down. I'll come back another day when I have time."
If it weren't for the difference in their social status, Wan Qiqi would have rolled her eyes at Xie Xing on the spot.
For the sake of Xinglong Restaurant's future, she smiled faintly and accompanied Xie Xing out, seeing these big shots off.
Zhu Chengye did not go with them, but instead had some snacks prepared, put in his name, and sent to Xie Xing.
Upon reaching the entrance of the restaurant, Xie Xing suddenly stopped and said, "The restaurant is quite well-run, much better than those in town, and there are quite a few customers. It's a good indication that we've established ourselves in Yunhe County."
"That's hard to say. It's only the first day of business. We don't know if the customers who came today will come back in the future." Wan Qiqi was quite aware of the restaurant's situation.
"With the young master of the Feng family in charge, things can't be bad." Xie Xing revealed a sly smile.
Wan Qiqi knew that even if Xie Xingren didn't come, he would still be able to find out about the restaurant.
Is this trip really just for a casual look around?
"I heard that the third young master of the Xiao family has arrived. Have you managed to get on good terms with him?" Xie Xing asked, tilting his head, not hiding his curiosity about the matter at all.
"I wasn't the one who received you, so I don't know. Is Lord Xie very interested in the Xiao family?" After Wan Qiqi finished speaking, she asked herself and answered, "If we get the support of the Xiao family, things will go smoothly in the future. But how could such a noble family look down on a small business like Xinglong Restaurant?"
Wan Qiqi was referring to Xinglong Restaurant, but it made people feel that she was implying something else.
Xie Xing smiled upon hearing this and said, "With the Xiao family in charge, Yunhe County is much more stable!"
Wan Qiqi couldn't understand what Xie Xing was trying to say. Was it that he was getting close to the Xiao family, or was he warning her not to get too involved with the Xiao family, or was he telling her that she could climb the social ladder by marrying into the Xiao family...?
She didn't want to know any of that; the most important thing was to run the restaurant well and earn her own money.
As for what the government and these gentry do, what does it have to do with her?
Let them fight however they want, as long as it doesn't affect her.
However, Wan Qiqi also knew that any link in the chain would affect the restaurant's operation, and she couldn't really ignore everything.
Xie Xing's mention of the Xiao family is enough to prove the Xiao family's status in Yunhe County.
Just then, Wu Gousheng came out, carrying a package of pastries.
Wan Qiqi understood Zhu Chengye's meaning, took the pastries from Wu Gousheng, handed them to Xie Xing, and said, "Lord Xie, these are pastries from the restaurant. You may take them back and try them. If you like them, I will have Yongnian bring them to you in the future."
Xie Xing looked down at the small hand holding the rope, a faint smile curving his lips, and said, "Of course I like it since it's a gift from you..."
His fingers accidentally brushed against Wan Qiqi's fingers, then he picked up the pastry, saying with a hint of joking, "The portion is quite generous!"
Wan Qiqi frowned slightly, somewhat displeased with the other party's words.
She didn't understand what Xie Xing meant to her, but there was definitely no affection involved; it was more like a child's desire to snatch a toy.
As Xie Xing turned to leave, Wan Qiqi hurriedly said, "Lord Xie, good things are best shared."
Xie Xing paused, turned around and smiled, "Yes, I know."
Watching the figure disappear into the crowd, Wu Gousheng looked somewhat confused and turned his head to ask, "Sister Qi, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Wan Qiqi glanced at him, turned and walked towards the restaurant, replying, "I'm urging you to find a wife."
"I don't want to find a wife. I'm still young. Lord Xie is already twenty-six and still hasn't gotten married. I'm not in a hurry..." Wu Gousheng said, then suddenly realized something.
Those words were spoken to Lord Xie, so Sister Qi was urging Lord Xie to find a wife.
But why is Sister Qi urging Lord Xie to find a wife?
Wu Gousheng considered closing the restaurant, but still couldn't figure it out.
Erpang followed beside Wu Gousheng and, seeing that the other man seemed anxious, asked, "Brother Gousheng, what's wrong with you? You've been acting like you've lost your soul the whole way here."
Wu Gousheng looked up at Wan Qiqi and Chen Yongnian, who were walking side by side in front of him, and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing."
Ahead, Chen Yongnian had just learned from Wan Qiqi what had happened at the restaurant that day.
