Chapter 434: Curiosity Killed the Cat
Jun Yexuan took out his cell to call Qiao Qing. As expected, nobody picked up. He asked, “Tell someone to GPS her cell.”
....
On the other side, Luo Chen and Qiao Qing came to Jing Li Xuan.
Luo Chen shot a look at the waiting area and saw that it was full of people. He gasped, “How long will we need to wait?”
Qiao Qing grabbed his arm and brought him to the hostess.
The hostess, Chen Lan, saw Qiao Qing, and her eyes lit up. Energy returned to her body, “You’re here. Please come upstairs. I reserved room 20 for you as usual!”
Chen Lan’s voice confused Luo Chen. They received special treatment again?
He eyed Qiao Qing.
Dai Yixin and Su Yan, who were in front of them and in line, also turned their heads.
Dai Yixin saw Qiao Qing and froze.
She then looked over at Luo Chen but didn’t think much of him.
She turned to Chen Lan and asked rather nicely, “Didn’t you say there were no more seats?”
Chen Lan’s gaze circled around, “They are our restaurant’s special customers.”
Dai Yixin responded with an, “Oh?”
She faked a smile and asked, “What do you have to do to become a special customer? I heard this place doesn’t even treat third young master Jun or first young master Qi differently.”
Chen Lan heard this and stopped smiling, “That is our restaurant’s business. Miss, if there’s nothing else I can help you with, please wait inside the waiting area. You’re blocking other customers.”
Su Yan raised an eyebrow, “What are you saying? Your restaurant advertises yourself as treating everyone equally. Yet without reasons, you are allowing others to budge. Why can’t customers who came before ask?”
Chen Lan grinned, “You asked, and I answered. This is a private restaurant matter. I have no responses to your other questions.”
“You...”
“Yanyan...” Dai Yixin interrupted. Without much emotion, she glanced at Qiao Qing, then smiled, “Let’s go wait over there.”
“Yixin!” Su Yan stomped her feet and chased after her, “This restaurant is bullying us! You’re a member of the World Class IQ Club and a director at Sky Entertainment! You’d be treated as a VIP at any restaurant! Why are we staying here and getting mistreated?!”
Dai Yixin ignored her question and walked to the waiting area.
Luo Chen rolled his eyes, “She only has two identities yet she continues to gloat. Though she’s capable, her arrogance makes her unpleasant.”
After he vented, Luo Chen scratched his head and looked at Qiao Qing, “But, Qingqing, I’m honestly also curious. How come you have so much power here at Jing Li Xuan?”
Qiao Qing headed for the stairs with her hands in her pocket, “Have you never heard the phrase, curiosity killed the cat?”
Luo Chen rubbed his neck and didn’t dare to ask more.
After the two went upstairs, Dai Yixin poured herself a cup of tea in a plastic cup provided in the waiting room. She blew at it and asked, “Are you sure even third young master Jun and first young master Qi don’t get special treatments here?”
“I’m sure!” Su Yan said, “I’ve personally witnessed those two getting rejected for trying to get a private room.”
Dai Yixin drank some tea. Her perfectly painted nails tapped against her cup, “I heard the owner of Jing Li Xuan is very mysterious. Has anyone ever dug up any information on him?”
Su Yan nodded, “You’re right. Jing Li Xuan has been open for so many years yet the owner never showed himself. But Yixin, why do you ask?”
