Chapter 108

Just as they were speaking, they arrived in front of their own restaurant.

First Class Pavilion was the original name of the restaurant, and they had not changed it.

It was almost mealtime now, and customers were trickling in one after another. The business seemed quite good.

The waiter Er Zhu was outside soliciting customers. He looked rather surprised when he saw Luo Ge and the others getting down from the carriage.

"Master, Madam, you're here."

Recovering from his surprise, he quickly smiled and welcomed them into the restaurant.

"Business has been brisk today."

Luo Ge nodded and glanced at the manager Lu at the counter, nonchalantly remarking.

The manager at the counter stiffened upon hearing her voice. He looked up, and seeing that Luo Ge and the others had not noticed him yet, he quickly hid whatever he was holding in his sleeves.

"Yes, today's business has been better than usual. By this time yesterday, we didn't have so many customers yet. Perhaps it's because you've brought good fortune by visiting, Master."

Hearing the waiter's words, Luo Ge turned her head, smiled at Gu Jinchen, and said, "I didn't notice this waiter was such a slick talker before."

Indeed, his words were quite pleasing to hear.

"Quite clever," she remarked.

Er Zhu chuckled upon hearing her words.

Seeing Manager Lu's embarrassed state, Gu Jinchen raised an eyebrow slightly.

For some reason, hearing his wife's words and seeing Manager Lu's humiliation, he felt quite pleased, even a sense of dark satisfaction.

Indeed, his wife was much better at handling such situations.

His wife was truly formidable!

Seeing Manager Lu's state, Luo Ge smiled and headed towards the back courtyard.

"Bring all the account books from the restaurant for this period," she instructed before leaving.

"Have Er Zhu fetch them. Manager Lu, you come with us."

"Ah?"

Manager Lu was clearly unprepared for Luo Ge's words. He had thought she wanted him to fetch the books since he was the one who had been keeping them.

Moreover, if he went with Luo Ge and the others now, he would not have a chance to accomplish the task assigned by the owners.

"Perhaps I should go and get them. I'm the one who has been keeping the accounts," Manager Lu said with a smile.

"Just give him the keys and tell him where they are kept. There shouldn't be anything objectionable in the manager's room, right?"

Although Luo Ge spoke with a smile, Manager Lu could not help but feel a chill.

Hearing Luo Ge's reasoning, Manager Lu could only smile awkwardly and hand the keys to Er Zhu. "The Madam makes a fair point."
