To ease the awkwardness, Fatty took out his wallet and asked Xiao Chen,""Boss, how much is it?"
"Three hundred." Xiao Chen stretched out three fingers, then took the plate in front of Fatty and put it in the kitchen.
Fatty took out three red cards from his wallet and placed them on the table. He waited for Xiao Chen to come out and looked at him seriously. At the same time, he handed over a golden business card and said,""Boss, do you know each other?"
"Forget about the business card. I don't think I'll need it. If you want to eat, just bring the money. But next time, if you bring so many people, you don't have to enter by yourself.”Xiao Chen glanced at the name card and ignored it.
"Alright, my name is Huang Guolin. I'm a few years older than you. You can just call me Fatty Huang.”The fat man smiled. He wasn't angry that Xiao Chen didn't accept his name card. After all, in his eyes, Xiao Chen was already one of those hidden 'masters.'
"It's okay to be a few years older." Xiao Chen's mouth twitched as he looked at Huang Guolin's face.
"I know what you mean by that look in your eyes. Tell me the truth. I'm only twenty-nine this year, not even thirty yet.”Huang Guolin touched his chubby cheeks and explained to Xiao Chen.
"Understood." Xiao Chen replied perfunctorily. Huang Guolin's age had nothing to do with him. In his eyes, this guy was just a customer.
"Uh, Boss, you haven't told me your name yet.”Huang Guolin saw that Xiao Chen had no intention of chatting with him, so he quickly asked.
"Just call me Xiao Chen. Also, leave quickly after you're done eating. How am I supposed to do business with you here?”Xiao Chen glanced at Guo Lin's bodyguards who were still standing in the restaurant.
Huang Guolin scratched his head in embarrassment and replied,"Well, I'll see you next time, boss Xiao.”
"Take care." Xiao Chen waved his hand and stared at Huang Guolin from the restaurant. Huang Guolin felt a little embarrassed as he watched Xiao Chen leave. He cleared his throat at the bodyguards and then filed out. In an instant, he disappeared into the street without a trace.
"Hmm? The name card was still here? Isn't this creating trash for me?”Xiao Chen looked at the eye-catching golden business card on the floor and frowned. He was about to throw it into the trash can, but when he saw Guo Lin's name and occupation on the business card, he was stunned.
" General Manager of Universal Pictures Asia Pacific Region, Executive Director of Huaxia New Vision Film and Television Company, Huang Guolin.”
"F * ck, the landlord is really rich. Is it really because of the geographical location?”Xiao Chen threw the name card into the trash can unhappily and muttered to himself.
Xiao Chen went back to the kitchen and cleaned the stove and kitchen. He walked out of the kitchen and glanced at the clock on the wall, feeling a little strange.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening. Logically speaking, it should be time for dinner. However, for some reason, ever since Guo Da arrived, no other customers had come to visit.
"F * ck, there's a signboard. Could it be that the price is too expensive?”Looking at the pedestrians on the road through the glass door, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He had thought that business would be booming with the signboard, but he suddenly realized that he was overthinking.
Although there were indeed a few new customers today, it was completely inadequate for Xiao Chen. After all, Xiao Chen hadn't even used the vegetables he bought in the morning, and he hadn't touched the ones he bought in the afternoon. It didn't meet his expectations at all.
"Oh, Boss Xiao is waiting for me.”
Just as Xiao Chen was racking his brain to figure out why his shop couldn't attract new customers, Zhang Lingyan's seductive voice suddenly rang in his ears.
Xiao Chen raised his head and saw Zhang Lingyan sneaking in without a sound. She was sitting opposite him, looking at him with a smile.
"Are you counting cats? They don't even make any sound when they walk? Do you know how scary people are?”Xiao Chen complained to Zhang Lingyan.
"Are you blaming me for considering it so seriously?”Zhang Lingyan shrugged her shoulders and lazily yawned at the dining table.""What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering why there aren't any new customers in my shop.”Xiao Chen answered honestly. After all, it wasn't something he was embarrassed to ask. Furthermore, Zhang Lingyan was probably a successful person, so Xiao Chen wanted to ask for her opinion.
"Perhaps the price of the dish is too expensive. If I didn't know that your cooking skills are worth this price, I wouldn't have ordered the potato shreds that cost 100 yuan per serving.”Zhang Lingyan replied casually.
"Isn't this the business district? Those white-collar workers couldn't afford the dishes at this price? Didn't they like this kind of high-priced dishes that reflected their status as tycoons?”Xiao Chen asked in confusion.
Zhang Lingyan looked at Xiao Chen and sighed.""Boss Xiao, is this your first time doing business?"
"Yes." Xiao Chen nodded. To be honest, there was nothing to be ashamed of.
"Let me ask you first. Why did you open the shop here?”Zhang Lingyan asked Xiao Chen.
"Earning money." Xiao Chen answered without hesitation.
"Then whose money do you earn?" Zhang Lingyan asked again.
"The white-collar workers here.”Xiao Chen replied seriously.
Zhang Lingyan smiled and waved a finger at Xiao Chen.""Then you're wrong. The companies that work here basically have their own independent canteens, and it's not that simple canteen. It's a high-class cafeteria with a self-service model. As for those who come out to eat, they will also choose those specialty restaurants, such as Japanese food, noodle restaurants, Western restaurants, and so on.”
"Worship foreign things." Xiao Chen frowned and said in a displeased tone.
"No, it's just because of the service and the quality. Just like you said, white-collar workers really don't do it for the food, but for the style. Do you think you'll spend the same price to show that you're different from ordinary restaurants? Do you want to go to an ordinary Chinese restaurant or eat Western Japanese food?”Zhang Lingyan analyzed Xiao Chen carefully.
Xiao Chen sighed helplessly.""Sigh, it's just that the moon in foreign countries is rounder.”
---------------------
To be honest, I'm on a business trip. Due to my work, the place is relatively remote. It's not easy to find an internet cafe. It's a bit too much to say that I'm a eunuch. Although I'm slower, I'm still quite dedicated. Do you know how awkward it is for me to open a word and write here when a young man is playing games in an internet cafe?
