Chapter 188 - 188 The Boss Is My Best Friend; Hello, Boss!
188 The Boss Is My Best Friend; Hello, Boss!
Just as the doctor with glasses said, it was time to get off work, and there were many cars on the way.
Lin Fan was stuck in a traffic jam for a while, and he was not familiar with the route. It took him nearly half an hour to reach the entrance of the Palace Hotel.
This was a tall and majestic building with green bricks and tiles.
There were two ferocious lions standing on both sides. Looking through the red door, one could see a spacious courtyard, green pine trees, and a bridge. It was filled with a classical aura.
If it weren’t for the words ‘Palace Hotel’ hanging on the door, perhaps everyone would have thought that this was a historical site similar to a prince’s residence.
Many men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes walked inside.
Ah Mei stood at the door and raised her head in admiration. “Wow! It’s so beautiful!”
“Why don’t we change places to eat?” Su Ningjing hesitated.
She had always been thrifty and did not want to waste money eating in such a good place.
Lin Fan knew what she was thinking and smiled. “Why change places? Wouldn’t it be more economical to eat at my own restaurant?”
Su Ningjing could not help but blink her big eyes, and a hint of doubt appeared on her pretty face.
At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly sounded behind them.
“Huh? Su Ningjing! Are you guys here to eat too?”
The doctor with glasses did not expect to meet Su Ningjing again as soon as he separated from her.
This was simply… It was the heavens who had created an opportunity for him!
As expected, his luck had improved!
Su Ningjing turned around and said in surprise, “Yes.”
“What a coincidence!” the doctor said happily. “You must have been attracted by the Palace Hotel’s reputation, right? The restaurant here is indeed very good!
“The environment is elegant and filled with a classical aura… It’s simply like a royal residence!
“More importantly, I heard that the restaurant’s menu was passed down from the royal chefs in the past. The taste of the food is simply superb!”
When the doctor said this, it was as if he had already smelled the delicious food. He could not help but swallow his saliva.
“It’s also because of this that the Palace Hotel is very popular! It’s time to eat now, so there shouldn’t be any tables left.
“But it doesn’t matter! I’m good friends with the owner of this restaurant. It won’t be a problem if I go in and tell him!” The bespectacled doctor could not help but pat his chest, extremely pleased with himself.
In fact, how could he have such a close relationship with the boss?
He only knew the foreman of the Palace Hotel.
However, in order to show off his abilities in front of Su Ningjing, the doctor began to brag.
The bespectacled doctor looked at Lin Fan arrogantly.
It was as if he was saying, ‘Although you drive a Cayenne, I know the owner of the Palace Hotel! My status is higher than yours!’
Lin Fan could not help but laugh. “Am I really close to you?”
“Huh?”
The doctor was stunned. “I don’t even know your name. What do you mean by that?”
Lin Fan nodded his head in agreement.
Then, the bespectacled doctor took the lead and walked in front.
“Welcome to the Palace Hotel.” The two attendants standing at the door smiled.
“Are there any vacant tables?” the doctor asked. “It’s best if it’s a private room.”
“I’m sorry, Sir,” a waiter said. “Our restaurant is fully booked. If you don’t mind, you can sit at the side and wait for a while.”
Initially, the doctor with glasses thought that there would be an empty table.
However, it was really fully booked.
He straightened his neck and said, “Your boss and I are brothers! Tell your foreman, Zhang Chengjie, to help us arrange a table.”
The attendants had seen all kinds of people before. They were smart people. How could they not understand that the bespectacled doctor did not know their boss at all?
Otherwise, how could it be possible for Zhang Chengjie, that little foreman, to give them a table?
It was likely that the head foreman, or even the manager, or the general manager, would come out.
The attendants despised the doctor, but they still smiled. “I’m sorry. Foreman Zhang Chengjie is on leave today, so I’m afraid he can’t arrange a table for you.
“Why don’t you wait by the side?”
When the doctor with glasses heard this, he could only cough awkwardly and continue to brag, “The foreman who knows my identity is not here today… Su Ningjing, why don’t we wait for a table? Or should we go to another restaurant?”
At this moment, hurried footsteps could be heard from afar.
A man in a suit jogged over.
The two attendants standing at the door hurriedly said, “Hello, General Manager.”
The general manager, Zheng Cong, did not pay attention to the two of them. He walked in front of Lin Fan and bowed. He said in an extremely respectful and excited tone, “Hello, Boss!”
There were two reasons why the Palace Hotel was so popular.
Firstly, the Palace Restaurant’s dishes and environment were indeed not bad.
Secondly, Zheng Cong took great care of it and put almost all his energy into the Palace Hotel.
There was no subordinate who did not want their boss to know what they had done.
Zheng Cong was no exception.
He wanted to meet his boss and perform well.
Unfortunately, he never had the chance.
However, he did not expect that when he went downstairs to check on the situation of the restaurant today, his wish would actually come true.
“General manager? Are you the general manager of the Palace Hotel?”
“Yes, my name is Zheng Cong. Boss, you can just call me Lil Zheng,” Zheng Cong hurriedly said.
Lin Fan nodded. “I’ll call you Zheng Cong.”
After all, Zheng Cong was about 40 years old. It was a little strange to call him Lil Zheng.
Lin Fan continued, “The restaurant is well taken care of!”
“Thank you for your compliment, Boss,” Zheng Cong said excitedly.
Although it was just a short sentence, Zheng Cong was ecstatic. It was as if he had heard the most beautiful sound in the world.
Lin Fan asked, “Are there any available tables? My friends and I are here for dinner.”
“Yes, yes! Our restaurant has reserved the most luxurious private room for you! This way, please,” Zheng Cong said respectfully.
The bespectacled doctor standing at the side could not help but ask, “He… What kind of boss is he?”
Zheng Cong thought that the doctor with glasses was also one of Lin Fan’s friends.
“Of course, he’s the owner of our Palace Hotel!”
Boom!
His words were like a clap of thunder in the doctor’s ears.
When Zheng Cong addressed Lin Fan as Boss, he already had a guess.
However, at this moment, he could not help but be shocked to the extreme.
Lin Fan was the owner of the Palace Hotel?
He had just said that he was good friends with the owner of the Palace Hotel.
No wonder Lin Fan asked if their relationship was good.
This…
This…
He was bragging, but he was bragging to the main character?
At this moment, the doctor with glasses wished he could find a place to hide.
Therefore, he did not follow Lin Fan and the rest to the luxury room. Instead, he lowered his head and left the Palace Hotel quickly.
Embarrassing!
It was too embarrassing!
