The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 1051: Chapter 1050: Booking the Restaurant

Xu Xiaoyong was in a dilemma, quickly explaining to Zhu Lie, “Boss Zhu, you misunderstand, I didn’t mean to be disrespectful to you, it’s just that there are too many customers, and if I issue an eviction order, how will I do business in the future? After all, this is a small scale business, I hope you can understand and understand.”

The manager next to Xu Xiaoyong, although he didn’t say a word, felt somewhat annoyed with Zhu Lie, thinking Zhu Lie was being a bit unreasonable. After all, Zhu Lie is an important figure around Su Changfeng, but no matter how influential he is, he’s still just an aide. Now even for a meal, he wants to book the entire place, what’s the fuss about? If Su Changfeng himself came over, it would be understandable.

“Alright, seeing you so unwilling, I have no choice but to go to another place then. After all, Brother Changfeng prefers quiet places, if it’s too crowded, he’d find it too noisy.” Zhu Lie said. The reason Zhu Lie calls Su Changfeng “Brother” in front of outsiders is because he knows his place and wants outsiders to understand that he’s just a subordinate to Su Changfeng. However, he never calls him “Brother” in front of Su Changfeng, just calls him Chang Feng, which is what Su Changfeng insisted on after multiple times, prompting Zhu Lie to change his address.

Xu Xiaoyong was shocked upon hearing this.

Su Changfeng actually wants to come to his restaurant for hotpot?

That’s something many people can’t even dream of.

Not to mention it’s a hotpot restaurant now, even if Su Changfeng said he wanted to go to Jiang City’s most famous hotel, if he wishes, the hotel would evict all the guests.

“Did you hear who Boss Zhu just said is coming?” Xu Xiaoyong asked the manager beside him, whispering.

The manager was equally shocked, clearly not expecting it to be Su Changfeng coming.

“Boss, Boss Zhu seemed to say, seemed to say it’s Su Changfeng coming to our place.” the manager stuttered.

Xu Xiaoyong suddenly jumped up, apparently too excited, then hurriedly instructed the manager: “Why are you still standing here foolishly? Quickly go and catch up with Boss Zhu, this is a golden opportunity falling from the sky, if I can’t catch this opportunity, I’ll regret it for life.”

At this moment, Zhu Lie was already striding back to his car when the manager ran over, gasping for breath.

“Boss Zhu, please wait, wait a moment.” the manager said.

Zhu Lie looked pleased, saying, “What is it? Is there anything to wait for? There are plenty of hotpot places in this huge Jiang City, or will I not be able to find one to host us?”

Xu Xiaoyong, who was somewhat overweight, hurriedly ran out to stop Zhu Lie from leaving, but just as he reached here, he heard Zhu Lie’s words, regretting terribly, wishing he could slap himself twice, gasping for breath, he said, “Boss Zhu, I apologize for earlier, rest assured, I’ll clear the place soon.”

Zhu Lie chuckled at the corner of his mouth, with a tone of displeasure, “If I remember correctly, just now in the restaurant, you told me this is a small business, that the customer is king, and you can’t afford to offend them, right? What’s changed now?”

Indeed, Xu Xiaoyong didn’t dare to offend these customers, after all, they were his source of living, without customers equates to no income, but now it’s different, it’s Su Changfeng coming to their restaurant, even if today they chased away the customers, for sure many influential people from Jiang City would come to their restaurant in the future.

“Boss Zhu, I apologize for my inappropriate words earlier, please forgive me.” Xu Xiaoyong said.

Zhu Lie helplessly said, “Don’t blame me, I already gave you a chance earlier, but you didn’t hold on to it, can’t blame me.”

Upon hearing these words, Xu Xiaoyong felt a chill throughout his heart, regretting his inability to seize the opportunity earlier, for a small restaurant like his, having Su Changfeng visit is already a blessing, after all, in this large Jiang City, many prominent restaurants can’t even invite Su Changfeng!

“Boss Zhu, it’s all my fault, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have been so rigid and inflexible.” As Xu Xiaoyong pleaded, he prepared to kneel in front of Zhu Lie.

As Xu Xiaoyong was about to kneel, Zhu Lie quickly reached out and stopped him, disliking others kneeling before him, which gave him the feeling of nearing death, although some people liked others kneeling before them, thinking it’s a symbol of power.

Zhu Lie didn’t really mind, after all, it’s just a meal, he originally planned to have it at this hotpot restaurant, now that Xu Xiaoyong agreed, all was naturally well.

“Have your staff be attentive, prepare the dishes well, ensure they taste good.” After saying this, Zhu Lie left without looking back.

Xu Xiaoyong was stunned, teary-eyed with excitement, hurriedly instructing the manager, “Quickly have the service staff prepared, tell the kitchen to ensure tonight’s dishes are fresh, if there’s not enough, immediately send someone to buy more.”

“Alright, alright, Xu Xiaoyong, I’ll go make arrangements right away.” The manager was bustling about anxiously, after all, they were preparing to host the first prominent figure since the restaurant’s opening, this required utmost attention.

Standing in place, Xu Xiaoyong watched as Zhu Lie’s car drove away, still feeling some disbelief, he slapped the manager in disbelief before accepting everything just happened, the renowned Su Changfeng truly planned to have hotpot at his restaurant.

“That truly is divine blessing, never imagined I’d have such good fortune, thankfully I managed to stop Zhu Lie or else I’d regret for life.” Xu Xiaoyong exclaimed with emotion.

Concerning the restaurant arrangements, Su Changfeng knew nothing, until the afternoon tea time, he drove away from the villa.

When Su Changfeng arrived at Charming, Zhu Lie, Feng Bin, Qi Hu and others were already waiting at the entrance.

Among them, Zhu Lie and the group were quite close friends with Su Changfeng, though previously Su Changfeng felt Feng Bin was somewhat unreliable, he still thought Feng Bin couldn’t handle major responsibilities, but tasks involving errands were no issue.

“Brother Changfeng.”

“Brother Changfeng.”

Feng Bin and Wang Tianhu called out simultaneously.

Su Changfeng approached Wang Tianhu, patting his shoulder, smiling as he asked, “Tianhu, have you adjusted to life around here recently?”

“Chang Feng, you wouldn’t believe it, Wang Tianhu here has not only adjusted, but he’s now the renowned Playboy of Charming.” Zhu Lie teased.
