Chapter Summary
He was a high-ranking executive at the Bai Group in this city, rumored to be a vice general manager. Even Wang Fang wouldn't dare to casually reprimand a high-ranking executive from one of the Eight Major Groups; this was no laughing matter. Not to mention Xu Chao's position as vice general manager, just based on his relationship with Bai Jingye, these people wouldn't dare to make things difficult for him.
The hall was filled with people from the upper echelons of society, who naturally knew who Xu Chao'er was. He was a high-ranking executive at the Bai Group in this city, rumored to be a vice general manager.
Even Wang Fang wouldn't dare to casually reprimand a high-ranking executive from one of the Eight Major Groups; this was no laughing matter. Yet, Liu Ning spoke to him as if scolding a junior, and the man listened obediently, nodding like a pounding garlic pestle. Who exactly was Liu Ning?
Everyone wasn't just relieved anymore; they were starting to feel a bit of fear. Even a high-ranking executive from one of the Eight Major Groups was like this. Could this young man be a young master from the central base city? If so, then we just narrowly escaped death.
Lei Lie didn't know what Xu Chao did, but he recognized the two guards behind Xu Chao; they were both high-level warriors. Even people like them were bowing and scraping to this young man. Had he misjudged? Wasn't this kid just an ordinary guard?
"I'm truly sorry for disturbing your meal, Mr. Liu. I'll take my leave now. If you need anything, please just let me know. Feel free to treat this place like your own home."
Xu Chao said, greatly flustered, and quickly told the people around him to leave. He was here to establish a connection with Liu Ning. After much effort, he learned that Liu Ning had come out to eat and ended up at his own restaurant. He had to serve Liu Ning well, or his own life would be forfeit. Bai Jingye was a man of his word; don't think Xu Chao could get special treatment just because they were blood brothers. That wasn't happening.
"Wait, I have something else. I heard you have some kind of black fish here. My friend wants to try it, but it's all booked. Go to the kitchen and see if you can spare one or two portions..."
Liu Ning suddenly remembered that Wang Fang wanted to eat this; she had mentioned it so many times along the way. If she couldn't eat it, she would probably be very disappointed.
Xu Chao had already turned around, but upon hearing Liu Ning's request, he immediately promised to handle it. Liu Ning was eating here, and Xu Chao was afraid Liu Ning wouldn't have any requests. As long as Liu Ning had a request, even if it meant tearing down the entire restaurant, what did it matter? The Bai family had plenty of such restaurants, but how many high-level pharmacists were there? Especially such a highly productive high-level pharmacist—it was unlikely that humanity could find a second one. What was one restaurant worth?
"Didn't you hear Mr. Liu's order? Quickly bring me the best black fish. Cancel the orders for the later guests. If they want to eat, they eat; if not, they can get lost. Losing one or two guests won't close us down."
When facing the restaurant manager, Xu Chao'er was not so humble. His voice wasn't loud, but many heard it.
The most important thing for a restaurant was its reputation, but they didn't seem to care at all. Who exactly was Liu Ning? The Bai family's restaurant had been in business for many years, and now this kind of situation had arisen.
The restaurant manager was in a difficult position. Those who could reserve black fish here were not simple people, but Xu Chao's identity was even less simple. Not to mention Xu Chao's position as vice general manager, just based on his relationship with Bai Jingye, these people wouldn't dare to make things difficult for him. Bai Jingye was about to be promoted, and once he became the head of the Bai family, Xu Chao'er would become a prominent figure in the entire Bai family. Would an ordinary manager dare to go against Xu Chao?
"Don't care who the guest is. This concerns the survival of our Bai family. Even the Lord of the Garrison Mansion would have to give way to us."
Xu Chao understood the restaurant manager's dilemma and knew that it might involve some important figures, but no matter how important they were, how could they compare to Liu Ning? Liu Ning was no ordinary person; if things really escalated, Liu Ning could make everyone suffer the consequences.
Wang Fang was not surprised by the current situation. Liu Ning was a respected guest of Zhao Wudi; was it strange for him to know a few other friends? Moreover, at Liu Ning's level, anyone who knew his true abilities would treat him like a god, let alone a small restaurant.
Lei Lie, on the other hand, was completely different. At first, he thought Xu Chao had misjudged, but now it seemed impossible. He had originally intended to embarrass others, but ended up with his own cheek swollen.
He had initially thought he wouldn't get to eat the black fish, but to his surprise, less than 10 minutes later, the restaurant manager personally brought it out. Many people had eaten here numerous times and had never seen the manager personally serve a dish.
"Mr. Liu, please enjoy your meal. This is the black fish you requested, meticulously prepared by our head chef. This is a VIP black card; all your meals here will be complimentary from now on, Mr. Liu. Additionally, this is a private gift from Mr. Xu to you: a 20-year-old Royal No. 1."
After placing the black fish down, the restaurant manager immediately presented two more gifts.
Everyone had heard of discount cards, but never free cards. Restaurants have high profit margins; even a 50% discount would still allow them to recover their costs. But if they gave you a free card, wouldn't this become your personal cafeteria? You could eat whenever you wanted, so how would the restaurant recover its capital?
While others were pondering this question, Xu Chao was considering whether to accept them. As long as Liu Ning accepted these two gifts, it would indicate a basis for cooperation between them. If Liu Ning didn't accept them, then Xu Chao's life might not be safe, and he would have to send a message to Bai Jingye to prepare a super assassination squad.
Liu Ning nodded, then dismissed everyone, indicating that he was there to eat, not for them to cause a commotion.
Seeing Liu Ning start to eat the black fish, Xu Chao breathed a sigh of relief, though his nerves remained highly strung. Eating his meal was one thing; the rest of the negotiation still needed to happen, as a high-level pharmacist was not easily recruited.
Wang Fang didn't find Liu Ning's attitude surprising; after all, those in power were often like this—even if their subordinates did well, they wouldn't show it. Lei Lie, however, felt a bit uncomfortable. "Why are you putting on airs here?"
Actually, Lei Lie's discomfort stemmed from one reason: it should have been his turn to show off, but it ended up being Liu Ning. How could he feel comfortable?
"What did you say? Do you know who I am? My reserved black fish was given to someone else! Does your restaurant not want to operate anymore? If you don't want to, just say so in advance! I'll immediately seal this place up and see if you still dare to do this..."
