Brush Up Your Proficiency

Before the dishes were served, the restaurant would normally be filled with noisy chatter, but today it was much quieter. Everyone was trying to minimize unnecessary conversation, quietly listening to the wonderful feeling brought by the erhu music.

People calmed down, and their moods naturally followed suit. The direct beneficiaries of this were the waitstaff.

In the past few days, communicating with customers had taken a lot of their energy. After all, in a big forest, there are all kinds of birds. Some customers would vent their bad moods for no reason.

But today, such things seemed to have vanished instantly, leaving the reception staff, who were fully prepared, somewhat at a loss.

Even He Xiaoqing and the others at the front desk felt the same way. After two busy days, they were already adept at handling customer feedback.

But today, the customers were surprisingly easy to talk to and no longer argued over trivial matters.

This made them exchange glances, their eyes full of surprise. Knowing the truth, they felt even more admiration for Wang Hao's magic. Some of the young girls even stared at the kitchen with shining eyes.

It wasn't until the smiling Cheng Yufei and Li Nan appeared that they finally withdrew their gazes after comparing them.

"Nannan, what do you think? Was my decision brilliant?" Cheng Yufei looked at the peaceful scene below and couldn't help but start praising herself, while also asking Li Nan to agree.

Li Nan was determined not to be a spoilsport friend, nodding repeatedly in agreement and giving Cheng Yufei a thumbs up.

As expected, after receiving her best friend's approval, Cheng Yufei proudly raised her head, pretending to be arrogant, which made Li Nan burst into a clear laugh.

But before the two could be happy for long, an uninvited guest appeared at the entrance of 'Shi Wei Tian', causing both of them to frown.

"Why is this woman so persistent? She's got her eyes on Wang Hao and won't let go. She's like a plaster that can't be shaken off," Cheng Yufei said angrily.

She pulled Li Nan downstairs with her, fearing that she wouldn't be able to control her emotions and would need Li Nan to restrain her at the appropriate time, as impulsiveness can ruin things.

The receptionist at the door was the same as yesterday. Looking at this young lady who was politely greeted by the manager and had a head-on confrontation with the big boss, she quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Please wait a moment, I'll go get..."

Before the receptionist could finish speaking, Cheng Yufei's voice came from behind, "Don't bother calling, I'm here."

With that, she walked in front of the receptionist, looking at the uninvited guest with an angry expression, and said unhappily, "Miss Su, why are you here again? Didn't 'Zhi Zhen Yuan' prepare food for you? You come to our place to eat every day!"

"That's none of your business. Opening a business means I'm a customer when I come, so you have to serve me well. What, do you want to drive me away?"

The visitor was none other than Miss Su, Su Modan, who had come yesterday to directly ask for someone. It could be seen that she was much calmer today. Although her face was still as cold as ever, her words were not as aloof, suggesting that she was ready to have a good talk.

"How could we? How could we drive you away? I'll arrange whatever you want to eat immediately," Chang Lei said hurriedly, taking over the conversation and blocking Cheng Yufei, whose anger was slowly rising.

Chang Lei had also seen the three women confronting each other at the entrance, so he quickly ran over, fearing that something irreversible would happen.

He thought: "Little Cheng is usually a shrewd person. She has matured a lot after so many years in society. Why does she always seem so impatient when facing Su Modan? It's strange."

"Just the same dishes as yesterday. I was impolite yesterday, Manager Chang, please don't take it to heart!" Su Modan greeted Chang Lei while walking inside.

After figuring this out, her mood gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath, stomped her right foot lightly, pouted, and walked inside.

"Boss Su, I already told you yesterday about our chef's attitude. He has no intention of changing jobs. So, you're here today...?" After the few people were seated, Chang Lei directly brought up the topic. He didn't finish his sentence, but Su Modan certainly knew what he meant.

Su Modan leisurely listened to the unique music in the restaurant and said in a faint tone, "Let's not talk about that for now. I'm here today purely to eat. You don't have to worry. Since the chef has already clearly refused, I certainly won't force him. After all, forced melons are not sweet."

Then, before Chang Lei could say anything, she pointed her slender finger upwards and continued, "This music of yours is quite special. Who is the master behind it?"

Su Modan's calmness not only did not relax Chang Lei, but made him nervous. He couldn't help but guess what tricks this young lady was going to play. How could this be the calm before the storm? It's not the thief stealing that's scary, it's the thief coveting, that's Chang Lei's mood at the moment.

"This was specially recorded by an old artist we hired. It's not convenient to reveal his name, I'm sorry, Boss Su," Chang Lei naturally wouldn't tell the truth. For this kind of lie, he didn't even need to draft it, he just said it directly.

Su Modan already coveted Wang Hao. If she knew Wang Hao's skills in erhu, he really couldn't imagine what actions the Su family would take.

The two women on the side were a little confused by the conversation between the two, but they didn't choose to interrupt, leaving it all to Chang Lei to handle.

Li Nan was watching it as a play, while Cheng Yufei knew that Chang Lei was one of her own and a capable subordinate of her father. With Chang Lei handling things, she felt confident, so she also chose not to speak.

"It doesn't matter. It's normal for talented people to be mysterious. It's okay if it's not convenient to reveal it, but it's okay if I buy some broadcasting rights for these songs, right?" Su Modan said softly.

Su Modan's words gave people the feeling that she had already taken a step back. If Chang Lei refused again, it would seem a bit unreasonable, but the original intention was a bit of a shift in concept.

Although Chang Lei heard the implication in Su Modan's words, he quickly nodded and said, "I naturally have no problem. Being able to do business with Boss Su is the best thing, but it also depends on what our big boss means. After all, I'm just an employee."

As Chang Lei spoke, he looked at Cheng Yufei, who was eating Wang Hao's special snacks on the side, and said, "Big boss, what do you think?"

Cheng Yufei, who was asked, ate while saying vaguely, "Not selling, I don't lack that little money." Her tone was somewhat similar to Su Modan's yesterday. After saying it, her smiling eyes turned into crescent shapes, and her whole person felt much more comfortable.

Although Cheng Yufei didn't know why Chang Lei was unwilling to do this business, she still followed suit, after all, if Chang Lei thought it was appropriate, he wouldn't ask her opinion again, but would directly make the decision.

"Then forget it, we'll find a chance to cooperate in the future," Su Modan said calmly without the slightest anger at being rejected, still with a calm face, eating snacks in small bites, her eyes slightly closed, listening to the erhu sound that filled the entire restaurant.

The scene once fell into a silent and awkward situation, but no one took the initiative to break the silence.
