Chapter 16o: The Restautant Closed Just Like That!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Murong Jing looked at Shi Qian. From her tone, she knew that the person on the line must be Shang Sizhan.
Shi Qian did not have such a tone towards anyone other than Master Zhan.
“I happen to be nearby. Call me after. We’ll leave for home together.”
‘Master Zhan is also nearby!’
Shi Qian was sparingly surprised and immediately replied, “Oh, okay, I got it.” Sheng Xu sat at the table beside her. His hand supported his forehead as he looked at Shi Qian without hesitation.
A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. To whom was this woman talking on the phone? She appeared utterly gentle, although he couldn’t distinctly hear the voice. This attitude didn’t seem like with him or Jiang Ci!
Lu Sizhe saw Sheng Xu stare at Shi Qian and couldn’t help but ask, “Sheng Xu, can you be more reserved? Your eyes are about to fly to Shi Qian.”
“I’m willing.”
As he spoke, he poured himself a glass of beer. However, the more he drank, the hungrier he became.
He suddenly said impatiently, “Why hadn’t the waiter returned? I’m starving.”
Lu Sizhe teased, “1 thought you were full after you saw Shi Qian!”
Sheng Xu smiled. “No, I can’t. But I’m not that hungry when I look at her.”
Lu Sizhe rolled his eyes at him.
The waiter walked over at this moment. Lu Sizhe was about to rush him to serve the dishes, but the waiter said apologetically, “I’m very sorry, the two of you. We ran out of ingredients in the shop. We are about to close early today.” Sheng Xu turned around and looked at the waiter when he heard this.
“What did you say? I waited for a long time after I ordered the dishes. And now you tell me you ran out of ingredients and will close the shop?!”
The waiter quickly nodded and apologized. “I’m sorry, Sir. The chef suddenly realized we only had a few ingredients after your second order. Moreover, they were not very fresh, so the boss called for an early closure.”
As he spoke, the waiter looked at the beer on the table and said, “This beer doesn’t count as money.”
Sheng Xu was speechless.
“I’m sorry.”
At this time, the shop hadn’t served other dishes to the remaining customers.
The customers disappointedly left the shop after they learned about the sudden early closure.
They had almost served Shi Qian and Murong Jing’s order, except for the crayfish that Murong Jing ordered for later.
However, the waiter insisted on untimely closure, and they could no longer serve the dishes she ordered for later.
Murong Jing frowned and looked at the waiter. “Your menu includes the barbecue. And you only prepared so few ingredients?”
The waiter nodded and said, “I’m sorry. These are all on the house.”
They prepared abundant fresh ingredients during the peak season. But a man came suddenly in and asked their boss to close the shop immediately.
He bribed the boss and threatened him as well! They couldn’t do anything about it!
The hobbies of rich people nowadays are unfathomable.
That was the first time he had seen someone throw money at a restaurant just to shut it down!
He had lived for a long time!
Murong Jing said, “I’m so poor that I only have a little money left. I’m short of money for this meal!”
The waiter was at a loss for words!
It felt like they were all big shots!
Shi Qian smiled and looked at the waiter. “Alright, it’s fine. You can go and do your work.”
The waiter looked at Shi Qian gratefully and said, “Thank you. Please enjoy.”
Lu Sizhe looked at the unhappy Sheng Xu and said, “Hurry up and f*cking leave! I’m going to starve to death if we change stall!”
Sheng Xu was also hungry.
The two school hunks could only go to other restaurants nearby.
Disappointment shrouded Murong Jing’s face as she muttered. “This shop does not deserve customer loyalty.. It didn’t prepare ingredients and closed just like that!”
