"Yunzhi, this private restaurant requires reservations in advance! We can't get in without a reservation," Yu Luoyan said.
“I know, but I have a card, so I don’t need to make an appointment.” Yu Yunzhi took out the card that Shao Wenyan had given her and showed it to Yu Luoyan.
"A card that doesn't require a reservation? Do they even have cards like that?" Yu Luoyan took it. This private restaurant is already so difficult to book a table, how come they have cards like this?
However, the name of the private restaurant is indeed written on the card.
"Yes, Wen Yan gave it to me. We didn't make a reservation when we went out to eat last time."
The last time I went to eat there was a spur-of-the-moment decision, so naturally I didn't make a reservation in advance.
"Oh, that's perfect. I'll go ask today if I can get another one of these cards, then I won't need to make reservations in advance when I go out to eat."
"Okay, let's go, sis."
"Jiang Jiang, let's go eat!" Yu Luoyan called out to Jiang Jiang, who was still searching for treasure in the room.

"Hello, do you have an appointment?" Huihui, who greeted the guests at the door, asked as the two adults and one child walked in.
One of them was wearing a mask and hat, so her face couldn't be seen. The other woman looked familiar, but Huihui couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
Do all pretty girls look alike? Otherwise, why would she look so familiar even though she's never seen her before? Could she be another internet celebrity?
But this internet celebrity is so beautiful! She doesn't look like those fake socialites and internet celebrities who used to come to the store in groups to check in.
When Huihui saw Jiang Jiang, her eyes lit up, and her smile became even warmer. She was so cute; the little girl was so pretty, with fair skin and a soft, cuddly appearance.
Hello, sister!
Seeing Huihui looking at her, Jiangjiang raised her little paw and waved to greet her.
Huihui seemed to have been struck in the heart by Xiao Jiangjiang, and opened her mouth in surprise: "Hi~ Hello~"
“I didn’t make a reservation, but I have this card.” Yu Yunzhi waited until Jiang Jiang and Hui Hui finished interacting before saying, “Isn’t this card supposed to allow me to eat without a reservation?”
"Huh?" Huihui took the card from Yu Yunzhi with a puzzled look. It was indeed the name of their family restaurant on it, but why had she never seen this kind of card before?
Huihui wasn't sure either; wasn't it true that you couldn't enter their house without an appointment?
And I've never heard the manager mention any card that allows entry without an appointment.
However, adhering to the principle of asking questions when she didn't understand, Huihui said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go ask our manager."
"Okay." Yu Yunzhi and Yu Luoyan sat on the sofa in the hall with Jiang Jiang, waiting for Huihui.
"Manager! Manager!" Manager Xu could hear Huihui shouting from a distance.
I've told her so many times not to be so loud. She's not deaf, and it's not good to disturb the other guests.
"What's wrong? Tell me slowly, I'm not going to run away."
"There was a lady outside who didn't have a reservation, but she said she had this card and could eat without a reservation."
“There’s no way we can have a meal without a reservation in our house. Even if she has a black card, she still needs to make a reservation to eat.” Manager Xu didn’t even look at the card in Huihui’s hand, focusing on the expense report on the computer.
I guess it's someone who's eating at their place for the first time, doesn't know they need to make a reservation in advance, and thinks they can just come if they have money.
In the past, many people came to eat without reservations, just took a card, and thought they were something special because they had money. Every time, Manager Xu would politely ask them to leave.
"Oh! Okay! Then I'll go talk to her." Huihui nodded and was about to walk outside to refuse the lady.
"Hey! Wait a minute."
Manager Xu suddenly remembered something, stood up abruptly, and said, "Bring me the card so I can take a look."
He suddenly remembered what his boss had told all their regional managers last week: if anyone came to their restaurant with the card in the picture he had posted in the group chat, they didn't need to make a reservation.
He instructed all the managers to treat the guests well and to be on their best behavior, especially giving special instructions to the managers in Beijing.
Huihui was startled when Manager Xu suddenly stood up. He always said that he had a loud voice, but his voice just now was even more shrill than hers, and it even cracked because he used too much force.
What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't there cards that allow you to eat without a reservation?
Manager Xu took the card from Huihui's hand. Oh my god, it really was that card.
Manager Xu was sweating profusely, his back was covered in a layer of cold sweat, and he felt like he was just a hair's breadth away from being fired! He almost offended a VIP.
Manager Xu: "Hurry up, go and serve the guests some tea first, I'll go change into my work clothes and serve them myself."
"So these cards really exist, right?" Huihui asked.
Unexpectedly! Huihui thought the lady was trying to scam her, since she had never heard of such a card before. If the child hadn't been so cute, Huihui wouldn't have come in to ask Manager Xu.
Seeing Manager Xu's formal demeanor, Huihui was truly glad she had asked, otherwise her job might have been in jeopardy.
"Yes, and there's only one. Go find two people to clean up that private room upstairs. Take the guests up there later and tell them to make sure it's clean." Manager Xu instructed.
"I know," Huihui replied to Manager Xu as she walked out.
After arranging for someone to clean, Huihui carried three glasses of water toward the two adults and one child sitting on the sofa.
The lady who gave her the card was so strange. It was so warm inside, yet she didn't take off her hat and mask; she wore them all the way up.
"Hello, please sit here for a while and have some water. The private room upstairs will be ready soon."
Huihui put the water glass on the coffee table and returned the card that Yu Yunzhi had given her to Yu Yunzhi.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
"It's alright, it's alright."
"Hello, hello, I am your waiter today, Xu Jiahao. You can call me Xiao Xu."
"Hello!"
Manager Xu changed his clothes incredibly quickly; he arrived just as Huihui finished speaking.
"Are you General Manager Yu?" Manager Xu remembered who this lady was, thanks to his excellent memory.
In their line of work, the most important thing is to have a good memory. Manager Xu has information on hundreds or even thousands of customers stored in his mind. He has a general impression of anyone who has eaten at their restaurant.
"Mm." Yu Luoyan shook hands with Manager Xu.
The manager of a store that can achieve this level of success must have some skill; otherwise, many people would want to replace him.
