Chapter 522: Chapter 524 Annoying Waiter

The middle-aged waitress named Wang Xia was a supervisor who had worked at the Zhonghai City Grand Hotel for several years. She had seen all sorts of people, big and small, and had even glimpsed the mayor of Zhonghai City, Zhang Yuehua, from a distance. Thus, she seemed somewhat absent-minded in the presence of someone like Lu Dakuan, who was obviously a country bumpkin.

Handing over the menu, Wang Xia said to Qin Tian, ”Sir, here is the menu. Please go ahead and order.”

After all, she was a waitress. Although she looked down on Qin Tian and the other three, Wang Xia still didn’t dare neglect the proper etiquette and service required of her.

Considering that Lu Dakuan and his wife might be shocked by the prices on the menu, Qin Tian took the menu and didn’t let them order, instead starting to order himself, saying, ”Uncle, auntie, I’ll take the liberty of ordering for us, okay?”

Lu Dakuan’s gaze had been roaming around the environment of the private room. As he looked, he asked in a low voice, ”Qing’er, what’s the difference between eating outside and eating in here? Can anyone eat in a private room?”

Lu Qing was about to answer when the neighboring waitress interjected, ”Sir, there is a fee for using the private room to dine in.”

”There’s a fee for the private room?” Wang Shulan was surprised upon hearing this and asked the waitress, ”How much is the room charge for this private room?”

”Hello, it’s a fee of 328 yuan for the private room,” Wang Xia replied.

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian and Lu Qing exchanged glances, then looked somewhat displeased at Wang Xia standing beside them, thinking to themselves that the waitress was being too talkative!

At the mention of the room charge, it was needless to say that Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan were both so surprised that they stood up abruptly.

Lu Dakuan exclaimed, ”We haven’t even eaten yet, and the room charge is already 328? This place is a rip-off, Qing’er, Qin Tian, let’s go, we’ll eat somewhere else; this is too much of a scam...”

As he spoke, Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan turned to leave.

Qin Tian hastily gestured for Lu Qing to hold back Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan.

Qin Tian smiled and said, ”Uncle, auntie, it’s not every day you come here, don’t worry about it, just eat, let’s talk after we’ve eaten, alright?”

”But this is too expensive...”

”Mom, this is Qin Tian’s kindness. Whether it’s expensive or not, we will pay, can you please just sit down? Qin Tian brought you here on purpose because you’ve never been to a place like this before, to give you a taste of it,” Lu Qing persuaded.

”This is too extravagant... The room charge alone is over three hundred, won’t a meal end up costing a thousand yuan? Too extravagant...”

Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan were pulled back to their seats by Lu Qing, but still wore worried expressions on their faces.

Wang Xia, on the other hand, wanted to laugh upon seeing this, thinking to herself that indeed, these were poor country folks who had come here to put on airs.

She glanced at Lu Qing and noticed that Lu Qing was naturally beautiful and extremely pretty. Combining this observation with the earlier scene, Wang Xia instantly understood—

It must be that this man, in order to chase this woman, brought the woman’s country parents here to show off, pretending to be rich to impress the woman’s parents.

With this thought, Wang Xia immediately turned her gaze to Qin Tian. Seeing that Qin Tian was dressed quite ordinarily, she couldn’t help but snicker internally, ”Since you want to put on an act, then I will play along, let’s see how much you can afford to show off!”

Seeing that Qin Tian was in the process of ordering and seemed hesitant, not having chosen a dish yet, Wang Xia directly said, ”Sir, how about ordering a portion of hairy crab? It’s our specialty dish, suitable for the elderly. There’s a discount today, only 688 yuan per serving.”

”Dammit...”

When Wang Xia spoke, emphasizing ”688 yuan” in her tone on purpose, Qin Tian immediately felt quite annoyed. First, he looked up at Wang Xia, then turned to Lu Dakuan and his wife.

As expected, Lu Dakuan started to fret about the money again, ”688 yuan? We can’t... We can’t eat that... Just a few crabs will eat up a whole month’s salary, no, we can’t eat that!”

Wang Shulan also said, ”What kind of dishes are these, made of gold? Why are they so expensive? Qin Tian, stop ordering, let’s go to another place...”

Qin Tian chuckled and replied, ”Uncle, Auntie, hairy crabs are the specialty here. Let’s order a portion to try, shall we?”

To comfort Lu Dakuan and his wife, Qin Tian lied and went along with them, saying, ”I’ve only heard about how tasty hairy crabs are, but never had the chance to try them. Today we’ll order a portion for us all to sample.”

”Well... alright then.” Hearing that Qin Tian hadn’t eaten them before, neither Lu Dakuan nor Wang Shulan had any objections.

Lu Qing just stared at Qin Tian and thought to herself that he had no need for a script to tell a lie, as they’d eaten it several times together. Yet, he claimed he hadn’t...

However, she knew Qin Tian said this for her parents’ sake, so she actually felt quite pleased. It turned out Qin Tian had such a considerate side to him.

”Sir, there aren’t many in one portion, and there are four of you, so I think you’ll need two portions. That would be one thousand three hundred and seventy-six yuan, is that alright?”

At that moment, Wang Xia spoke again, with a strange expression on her face, deliberately announcing the price out loud.

One thousand three hundred and seventy-six yuan...

The sound echoed in the private room, and suddenly, the room fell silent again.

”Miss, you don’t need to recommend anything, I’ll order what I want.”

Qin Tian glared at Wang Xia, really wanting to lose his temper, but seeing Lu Dakuan and his wife present, he restrained himself and quietly wrote the number ”2” under the portion of hairy crab.

Then, Qin Tian continued to peruse the menu. Since he had to consider that Lu Dakuan and his wife were from Xijiang Province and might not be accustomed to the bland dishes of Zhonghai City, he hesitated over each dish he looked at.

However, to Wang Xia standing beside him, it seemed very different: ”Hmph, taking so long to decide, are you calculating how much money you brought with you? Afraid that you won’t have enough to pay after eating?”

Wang Xia, who was always a busybody, became more keen on exposing Qin Tian to display her own sense of superiority.

”Sir, how about ordering some abalones? They are 20% off today, so one portion is just over two thousand yuan...”

Whoosh!

Before Wang Xia could finish her sentence, Qin Tian suddenly stood up, fixing his eyes on her.

Wang Xia was taken aback and asked, ”Sir, what are you doing?”

With anger in his eyes, Qin Tian snapped, ”Didn’t you hear what I just said? Miss, are you sent by a monkey to f*** around? I already said I don’t need you to recommend dishes. Are you deaf?!”

This time, Qin Tian truly could no longer tolerate it. If you say it once, fine, I’ll let it go; if you say it twice, I’ll warn you; but you dare to say it a third time!

What on earth are you plotting?!

Don’t you even allow people to have a peaceful meal?!

”Recommending dishes is my job, sir. Please don’t insult me like that. I haven’t done anything to offend you,”

Seeing Qin Tian’s anger, Wang Xia snorted inwardly and retorted with a curl of her lip.
