Chapter 67: Chapter 67: A Good Start
"Well, I'll just have one dish then, the egg soup is fine..." The customer who had just claimed he was not short on cash turned red-faced and stated awkwardly.
He had just claimed he was loaded, but then he was shocked by the prices of the dishes. It was rather embarrassing.
However, these dishes were way too expensive. He had contemplated that the new dishes introduced by this restaurant might be pricey, but he never imagined the prices would exceed the original dishes by almost a hundred times. It was quite unthinkable.
The egg soup was on the cheaper side of the menu, costing just over a thousand yuan.
These dishes were so costly, and the server had described them as high-end. He was reluctant to not try them, but he was hesitant to spend on the expensive ones for fear of getting ripped off, so he opted for the more affordable egg soup instead.
A thousand-plus yuan, even if the soup wasn't that good, he could handle that loss.
"Alright, sir." The server responded with a slight smile.
Although he only ordered a cheap soup, she did not look down on him at all. Jiayun Lee and Xia Qingqing had specifically instructed the servers that unless the customer had a bad attitude, they could not show a poor attitude in return.
If any staff were found to be disrespectful or intolerant towards customers, they would be instantly fired.
Although many of the servers hadn't tasted the new dishes themselves, they had heard they were quite delectable. Judging by the reactions of their bosses and the prices of these new dishes, they could see the potential and prospects of their restaurant were promising.
If the restaurant succeeded, their welfare and future could also significantly improve. If they were fired, the loss would be enormous.
On the other hand, these dishes were really expensive. The fact he could afford a dish over a thousand yuan already made him better off compared to her as a server, so what was there to look down upon?
"I'll just order one dish as well, this one, the cucumber salad..."
Around him, some customers who initially planned to say something became embarrassed after witnessing this scene. One of them said awkwardly.
He was one of the customers who had earlier wished to order two dishes.
Having said he'd have two dishes previously, it didn't look good to opt-out on one now. Since the previous guy had ordered just one dish, he decided to do the same. Having someone in the same boat made it less awkward.
"I'll also order just one dish..."
Another customer chimed in.
The rest of the customers began to retreat, none of them expressing the wish to order additional dishes.
Some felt it was not worth it.
Others couldn't afford it.
And some wanted to observe the reactions of these three customers after tasting the new dishes before making a decision. They didn't want to be scammed.
"Alright, sir." The server responded with a smile, noting down the orders from these two customers.
Seeing that no one else was ordering, she turned around to get things arranged.
…
On the other side, Feng Lianggong couldn't bear to stay any longer out of embarrassment.
"Hmph!"
He snorted coldly and exited.
He didn't have the nerve to ask for a refund either.
Having tasted those dishes, he knew they were worth every penny.
The restaurant hadn't ripped him off.
He had only duped himself.
"Brother Feng, why don't you...wait till we finish eating to leave..."
Behind Feng Lianggong, a youth in his twenties was dismayed at the situation. He hurriedly grabbed a few bites and muttered, glancing reluctantly at the dishes on the table.
He wished he could finish the meal before leaving.
It would be such a waste if he didn't finish such delicious food.
The other three men also glanced longingly at the dishes on the table. You could see the regret on their faces.
They, along with Feng Lianggong, had just tasted these dishes. Naturally, the flavors of the dishes had conquered them.
"If you guys don't want to leave, then stay." Feng Lianggong turned around, his face pale, and said coldly.
Spending over a million had already made him heart-sick. He could apply for reimbursement from the company, but he definitely couldn't get reimbursed for so much. He had dug this pit for himself intentionally and jumped into it.
Encountered such delicious food but couldn't eat more...
No way, unless he had no shame left.
Now, listening to his subordinate's words and seeing their reactions felt like pouring salt into his wounds. It was like he was being cut to pieces.
He had paid for these expensive dishes. At this moment, seeing these dishes, he felt extremely heart-broken. It was as if he was being slapped continuously.
He didn't want to stay here for a second more.
Seeing Feng Lianggong's reaction, his four subordinates didn't dare to say anything more and quickly followed him out.
"Hehe."
Some of the wholesalers chuckled at the scene.
The people from Tianyu Group, were indeed stingy. They had just acted generous, and now their true colors were revealed.
Lin Yun was much more generous.
He'd already planned to treat them to these dishes.
The value of these dishes reached up to a million--an amount not many were willing to spend on a meal, even though Lin Yun was the owner of the restaurant.
Thinking of this, they once again admired Lin Yun.
Lin Yun owning such a restaurant meant that his net worth was far more than they could see. He may have some other identities unknown to them.
"Boss Lin, not to mention Qingyun power banks, these dishes alone have opened my eyes. Let me toast to these dishes. I'll down my glass, while you can consume at your discretion..."
"Boss Lin, your restaurant, is such a pitfall! After letting us taste such delicious dishes, how are we going to eat ordinary food again in the future..."
"I must thank Boss Lin for giving me the agency for Qingyun power banks, I must toast to Boss Lin..."
"I'm full, please feel free to continue, Boss Lin..."
Some of the wholesalers said with a laugh, and many raised their glasses to Lin Yun.
…
"Gosh-- It's so delicious--"
"Heavens! Is this an egg soup? What seasoning did they put in it? How could it be so delicious?"
On the other side, the dishes ordered by the three customers were served. As soon as they tasted them, they were quickly taken aback.
The next moment, they started gobbling up the served dishes. The customer who had ordered the egg soup quickly drank the soup.
"Is it really that tasty?"
"Damn, I am keen to order a portion too!"
"I really want to try it and see if it's that delicious. Waiter, could you get me a new dish from here, uh… cucumber salad!"
Many customers around were dumbfounded. Finally, one of them slammed the table and gritted his teeth.
"I want a portion too, that..."
"Okay, I give up, I also want a portion..."
Once one customer ordered, a second and a third followed. Soon, five more customers ordered the new dishes from the restaurant.
Not far away, Xia Qingqing saw this scene and felt elated.
The restaurant had just introduced new dishes that day, and it had such a good start. It was a pleasant surprise.
However, she was thankful to the customers her brother had invited. Not only did they pay for their meals, but the significance of this first batch of customers was also immense.
