Chapter 142 Hit a straight shot
After the recording of the program ended, the group went to the next room to change clothes. While taking off their makeup, they discussed where to go for dinner.
This time they were recording in Orange Film and Television's own studio, which was very close to the program team's office. So they had to sign the next recording contract in the afternoon before leaving. Due to this, the tickets were booked for a relatively later time. Perfect, as they could have a meal together.
Shu Hua was full of interest, "Let's go to that private restaurant."
Jiang Yu nodded in agreement.
The private restaurant Shu Hua mentioned was the place where they had their first dinner together. The food was great. After that time, Shu Hua and Jiang Yu kept thinking about it. However, their program recordings were no longer nearby and they never went there again.
After learning that the program was recorded at Orange Film and Television’s Recording Base, Shu Hua chatted in the group last night about wanting to eat there.
Xiang Chen pretended to be surprised, "It seems that we have a shared mind. I have already booked the location. Now is the perfect time to go now."
Shu Hua's eyes lit up and she praised him without hesitation, "Elder Brother Chen is still thoughtful!"
Jiang Yu gave Xiang Chen a thumbs up. Xiang Chen looked at them and smiled, "It's my honor to make beautiful ladies happy."
Looking at the tenderness in his eyes, Shu Hua suddenly remembered what Qin Shiyu said to her in the morning and couldn't help but wonder if he had made arrangements in advance because he saw her chattering in the group...
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt self-conscious.
Ye Yuanyu was watching Shu Hua smile and saw she suddenly appeared shy as she linked with Jiang Yu's arm and tensely said to Xiang Chen, "Actually, it's not me who wants to eat. Bigshot also likes that store. .”
Xiang Chen looked at Jiang Yu, the twinkle in his eyes became brighter, "Then it seems I made a good reservation."
Shu Hua pursed her lips and became even more shy...
Ye Yuanyu slowly narrowed his eyes.
On the way, Shu Hua linked Jiang Yu's arm and walked at the end. She had restrained her speech a lot and spoke quietly. Jian Cang was still a little unaccustomed to it. He couldn't help but turn around, "Shu Hua, why are you so pretentious all of a sudden? ? Finally there’s someone you care about?"
Shu Hua raised her head and glared at him, "Governing me?"
After saying that, she subconsciously glanced at Xiang Chen and that the other party was looking over, with a happy mirth in his eyes.
She unconsciously avoided his eyes and tightened her hold on Jiang Yu's arm. Jiang Yu, who was watching the show on the side, was still pondering why Xiang Chen smiled at herself instead of at Shu Hua. Seeing her shy look, she realized it, it turned out that he didn't meet the owner's eyes.
But seeing Xiang Chen smiling happily, she couldn't help but feel regret. Xiang Chen was so gentle, but it was a pity that he was destined to be hurt... Ye Yuanyu's gaze next to her was already piercing Shu Hua.
For a moment, she didn't know who to support. Ye Yuanyu was the official spouse, but Xiang Chen was very good... If Xiang Chen fell out of love, she had to be nicer to him...
Just as she was thinking, Jiang Yu was suddenly touched on the shoulder. When Jiang Yu turned around, she saw Qin Shiyu walking beside her and drawled out, "Who are you seducing, little Royal Mother?"
Jiang Yu:……
She raised her foot and kicked him. Then she gritted her teeth, "Can’t get out of character?"
Qin Shiyu dodged to the side and sighed, "How exciting was that scene!"
He looked at Jiang Yu and smiled nonchalantly, "Little Royal Mother?"
His eyes and the tone of his words seemed to have a pull. Jiang Yu's heart inexplicably skipped a beat. She couldn't help but raise her hand to push him, "Get away."
This made Qin Shiyu laugh.
When a group of people rowdily arrived at the private restaurant. There were indeed many people queuing outside.
This store tasted good and had a good environment. Although the price was a bit more expensive than ordinary stores, many people were still willing to come.
Shu Hua exclaimed in delight, "Fortunately, a reservation was made in advance."
Jiang Yu was in a good mood. She was indeed very hungry.
Xiang Chen reported the mobile phone number of the reserved suite at the front desk. After checking it, the front desk suddenly showed a troubled expression.
Xiang Chen was confused, "What's wrong?"
"Wait a moment." The front desk called the lobby manager. The manager came over to understand the situation and quickly apologized to them, "I'm really sorry. There was something wrong with the suite that you have reserved. We are unable to receive guests for the time being."
Jian Cang was confused, "Can't receive guest for the time being? Then why didn't you notify us in advance?"
The manager looked very embarrassed, "Sorry, it’s our staff's mistake. How about this? To express our apology, we will compensate you guys with 1,000 yuan store vouchers without any restrictions. Do you want to wait for a while or try another day?" You can use it any time."
Shu Hua was surprised, "1,000 yuan voucher?"
It was quite generous.
The manager apologized, "It is indeed our mistake. We didn't notify you in time. I really feel bad about it."
He had a very good attitude and was very sincere. What’s more, it wasn't intentional. The group of people didn't want to put anyone on the spot and began to discuss whether to wait for a while or change places to eat.
Shu Hua couldn't help but rub her belly, "It's meal time. All the delicious restaurants should be full, right?"
Jiang Yu's stomach made a gurgling sound in response to the situation.
Xiang Chen couldn't help but smile. He lowered his head and took out a few pieces of candies from his pocket. Just as he was about to hand it to Jiang Yu, he saw Qin Shiyu had taken out a piece of chocolate and stuffed it directly into her hand. "Since we can't eat for the time being, make do with this first.”
Xiang Chen paused for a moment, but the candies had already been taken out. Jian Cang politely took one, "It’s still Elder Brother Chen who is the most caring."
He was surprised, "Elder Brother Yu, you carry snacks with you? "
Qin Shiyu smiled without saying anything, handed the remaining chocolate to Ye Yuanyu next to him, and said to Shu Hua, "You can eat Xiang Chen's candies."
So the last candy in Xiang Chen's hand was allocated. Ye Yuanyu looked at Shu Hua quietly taking the candy from Xiang Chen's hand. The corners of his mouth unconsciously straightened.
Shu Hua gently stuffed the candy into her mouth and seemed to sense something. She suddenly took two steps toward Jiang Yu, turning her head to look at Ye Yuanyu, "What's wrong with you? Why does it feel so cold?"
Ye Yuanyu sneered, "Shouldn't it be warm after eating the candy?"
Shu Hua didn't expect that he could detect Xiang Chen's thoughts and even tease her. Although she felt a little strange in her heart, she couldn't help but blush, "Keep your nose about it."
Ye Yuanyu:......
He secretly gritted his teeth, "Let's go eat Hunan cuisine."
Shu Hua immediately said, "Don't want to eat Hunan cuisine. Let’s go eat hot pot. I want to eat hot pot."
Ye Yuanyu snorted coldly, "Since you got so much fire in you, why do you still want to eat hot pot? Not afraid of getting too fired up."
Shu Hua felt that he was targeting her out of nowhere. Not wanting to be outdone, she retorted "You’re nosing into my matters? Let’s vote. You can't arbitrarily decide, huh!"
……
Jian Cang was confused, "How come they butting heads out of the blue again?"
Clueless, Xiang Chen shook his head and amusedly remarked, "Don’t they often inexplicably butt heads?"
So what out of the blue? He was obviously jealous! Jiang Yu looked at Xiang Chen, then at Ye Yuanyu and Shu Hua who were bickering, and couldn't help but sigh secretly... Everyone was so nice, it was really difficult...
Qin Shiyu looked at Jiang Yu's expression and silently raised the corners of his lips...
The group followed Ye Yuanyu and Shu Hua who were arguing and walked out. When they were approaching the door, they encountered four-five people coming in from the door.
Jiang Yu looked at the leading person, Sun Lingqian, and raised her eyebrows. What a coincidence.
Sun Lingqian saw them, stopped and glanced at the group. Finally her eyes fell on Qin Shiyu, "Qin Shiyu, long time no see. Are you here to eat too?"
Qin Shiyu still looked lazy, but his attitude was obviously much more distant. He nodded as a greeting, "Hello, Teacher Sun."
Sun Lingqian smiled and didn't seem to mind. She said loudly to the front desk, "I made a reservation for the peony suite."
Jiang Yu and the others, who were about to leave, couldn't help but pause in their steps. The peony suite was the suite they had booked.
Sun Lingqian looked back at them before they left, then asked as if she remembered something, "Huh? I remember you finished recording your show, right? Are you done eating now?"
Why would she care about when their show would be finished recording? How could they not understand? Sun Lingqian was responsible for the suite matter.
She probably had a grudge against Qin Shiyu and Jiang Yu for their previous counterattacks and wanted to make them disgusted when she got the chance.
As for why she was able to find their reserved private room, they had discussed it in the dressing room earlier and there were many people at that time. Sun Lingqian would definitely be able to find out since she was interested.
It made sense that the restaurant didn't notify them in advance, because Sun Lingqian had suddenly made the decision.
Xiang Chen wanted to step forward and argue with the lobby manager. The meal matter wasn’t a major deal, but it was very annoying. None of them have the temperament to mutely accept the loss.
In the end, Qin Shiyu, who never paid much attention to such trivial matters, stopped him, "This matter probably happened because of me. Let me."
Jiang Yu contemplated and felt that it had to do with her too, so she followed him.
Sun Lingqian took in their actions and put on a confused act, "What's wrong?"
But she couldn't hide the pride in her tone.
Qin Shiyu didn't talk to her at all, directly asking the lobby manager, "Excuse me, what's going on?"
The lobby manager saw everything. No wonder the other party directly ordered for Mr. Xiang's private room; deliberately trying to irk people.
Just as he was thinking about how to answer, Sun Lingqian looked surprised, "Hey, it turns out that this suite was reserved by you?"
She apologized again, "I'm so sorry. I suddenly wanted to eat at this restaurant and didn't expect the suites to be fully booked. So I had to spend more money to get it."
Though she was apologizing, her tone wasn't apologetic, but rather showing off.
Qin Shiyu still ignored her and only asked the lobby manager, "How much did she pay?"
The lobby manager didn't panic at all. The rivalry between the two parties was none of their business. Moreover, if the two parties started bidding for the sake of face, then they could benefit from it and he could make a small fortune. After all, it was a hefty sum. Even if they ordered all the dishes in the store, they couldn’t finish them. How great.
Thinking like this, he suppressed the joy in his heart and said helplessly, "Twenty thousand, no matter whether you can eat that much, the minimum consumption is 20,000."
Jiang Yu understood. It was no wonder that the manager was tempted. They only paid a deposit of 500. Even if there were 6 of them and not drinking, they would not be able to eat 2,000 in the end.
Sun Lingqian smiled proudly, "Sorry, I don't like waiting for a seat, so I spent some money to solve it. I didn't expect it to trouble you. But since we are acquaintances, how about we come together? I happen to have five more spaces here. Wait, there are six of you. But since you are all friends of Qin Shiyu. Then you are mine too. We can squeeze and make do."
Qin Shiyu smiled indifferently, "Thank you, Teacher Sun, for your kindness, but I don't like to eat together with strangers. It's more comfortable to eat with friends."
Sun Lingqian didn't expect him to bluntly pull down her face. The smile on her face couldn't help but fade.
Qin Shiyu ignored her and said to the lobby manager, "Isn't this action of yours illegal?"
Xiang Chen immediately understood his train of thought and stepped forward, "You are a catering company, not an auction house and insist on the highest bidder getting it?"
"Of course it's normal to set reasonable thresholds but under the circumstance that we abide by the rules. After accepting our reservation, you violated the store's rules for 20,000 yuan and didn’t even notify us in advance. This can really harm the interests of us consumers. It’s unjustifiable.”
"If we report it to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and various inspections and inquiries are conducted, can 20,000 yuan misdemeanor withstand it?"
The lobby manager's heart skipped a beat. He never expected that these two parties would not confront each other. Instead, they kept making trouble for him. Not to mention the losses they would suffer if the restaurant got reported, he, an employee, was responsible for this matter...
Jian Cang looked at the people poking around the door to watch the excitement and said to the lobby manager, "If you don't know what to do, how about I tell everyone about this and let them help you think of a solution?"
Shu Hua immediately took out her mobile phone, "Let me post it on Weibo. Netizens have many ideas and they will definitely come up with a good solution."
The lobby manager broke into a cold sweat. If this matter was publicized, the reputation of their store would be greatly damaged. Moreover, the fame of Qin Shiyu and the others was enough for fans to tear their store apart. He, an employee, could forget about keeping the job. He was afraid that no store would dare to hire him in the future.
The manager no longer wanted to make a fortune and quickly stopped him, "Everyone, everyone, today is my fault. How about this? We have a private room that isn't open to the public. I will make the decision today and let you, Mr. Xiang use, okay?" "
Before Qin Shiyu could speak, Sun Lingqian frowned, "No! You still have a few suites, I'll take them all!"
She turned to the people around her, "Give them 20,000! I'll take all the empty suites you have.”
Then she threatened, "I gave you the money. If you let others use it, I can sue you."
The lobby manager secretly cursed in his heart, but still smiled apologetically, "My grandaunt, look, I have no grudges against you. So have mercy and let me go, okay?" If you want to compete, do it face to face, why are you bullying me, an ordinary person, for?
However, Sun Lingqian stated confidently, "Your words are interesting. I’m spending the money, why are you nosy about how I spend it? How am I not letting you go? It's you who want to give my things to others. Is this appropriate?"
Then she looked at Qin Shiyu proudly, "Say, isn’t this the logic? If he does this, it will be an infringement of my rights. I can sue him to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau."
The lobby manager was so regretful that his intestines turned green. Why did he get into such a big trouble for some greed? Looking at Qin Shiyu, he could only hope that the people on this side would be reasonable.
Qin Shiyu still had the same indifferent attitude. He wasn't provoked by Sun Lingqian at all and discussed the matter as it happened. "Actually, it's not impossible."
The lobby manager's eyes lit up, "Do speak."
Qin Shiyu said, "Since Teacher Sun likes to use money to solve time problems, so she should actually pay us."
"Her paying more than ten times the price to take away the right to use the suite from us is a private transaction between us and has nothing to do with you. You only need to charge the normal fee. What do you think? "
The lobby manager thought for a moment, "That's right."
Qin Shiyu opened the WeChat payment code, "Come on, give us Teacher Sun's money. We are happy to exchange the right to use a suite for twenty-thirty thousand."
Hearing this, Sun Lingqian immediately became unwilling. She spent money to disgust them. So what was the point of giving money to them? "No, why give them my money! If you dare to give it to them, I will sue your store!"
Xiang Chen said gently, "In what name are you going to sue, Teacher Sun? After all, you used the private room and you are spending money normally in the other person's store. They didn't overcharge you. As for the money you gave to the store, they are the middleman helping you with the allocation of a private room. Now transferring it to us, it has nothing to do with the store."
"Or you can sue us? But in what name?"
Sun Lingqian was choked and had no way to refute. Seeing that they had restrained Sun Lingqian, the lobby manager quickly urged the front desk to give the money.
As soon as Qin Shiyu received the money, a menu was slowly pushed to his hand. He lowered his head and saw Jiang Yu knocking on the already checked menu and whispering, "Takeout."
Qin Shiyu immediately understood what she meant and couldn't help but be amused. Then he picked up the menu and handed it to the front desk, "The store has a delivery service, right? Send what’s checked on the menu to our hotel. Calculate how much it will cost."
Others caught on. Shu Hua couldn't help but roar in laughter, "Bigshot, I was wondering why you were looking at the menu in silence? It turns out you are ordering!"
Jiang Yu said calmly, "It's not necessary to eat in the private room. We can eat in the hotel." She pretended to have never seen the world, "Earlier, I didn't dare to order abalone, sea cucumber and the like before, but now that we have money, it's the perfect time to try it."
She looked at Sun Lingqian and whispered sincerely, "Thank you, Teacher Sun."
Shu Hua followed immediately and hugged her fist, "Thank you, Teacher Sun!"
Ye Yuanyu, Xiang Chen and Jian Cang nodded to her gratefully.
Sun Lingqian:......
Just as the front desk here had finished calculating the price, the front desk whispered under tremendous pressure, "Total to 3,765 yuan."
"Oh, it looks like there are a lot of delicious food," Qin Shiyu stretched out his phone and said generously, "Swipe 5,000! The rest will be considered as a tip."
Finally, he looked at Sun Lingqian and smiled, "Thank you Sun Teacher. You are such a good person."
The group nodded in agreement.
Sun Lingqian:......
The lobby manager looked at Sun Lingqian who looked as if she was going to explode but couldn’t.
He thought to himself that no one should offend these people in the future. So what if one had money. They would still get embarrassed in front of them.
GJLHJKHGKKH OMGGGG. that's hilarious. This Sun woman really thinks she can outwit them.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Qin Shiyu ready with the candy this time. Well, no one's ever accused him of being slow. 😂
