Chapter 2024: Secret Gifts in Life
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Well, in addition to the dishes you ordered, the other dishes and these two bottles of red wine are gifts from our Ms. Yun,” the male manager said with a smile
“Also, Ms. Yun mentioned that she would come by later to offer a toast.”
“She’s coming to offer a toast?”
Zhou Xinyu’s eyes sparkled with disbelief.
How much respect did that take?
Was Chen Teng really this influential?
“Our Ms. Yun said so, but as for anything else, I’m not sure.” The male manager gestured politely, “Please enjoy your meal. If there’s anything not to your taste, let me know, and I’ll have it adjusted.”
“Alright, thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
With that, the male manager didn’t stay in the private room any longer and turned to leave.
“Auntie, Cousin, all the dishes are here now, so let’s eat before they get cold,” Chen Teng said, feeling very pleased with himself.
“Sure, sure.”
Looking at the table full of dishes and the two bottles of wine, each priced over twenty thousand, Yan Ci was puzzled.
It didn’t seem like Chen Teng had that much influence.
“Mom, try this braised pork; it’s really delicious,” Zhou Xinyu said.
“Braised pork is too greasy. The doctor said I shouldn’t eat anything too oily; you go ahead. I’ll eat something else.”
“Oh, speaking of doctors, that reminds me,” Chen Teng said, putting down his chopsticks.
“I’ve already arranged everything with the hospital. It’s a doctor at Huashan Hospital, so you won’t have to wait in line. You’ll be seen as soon as you arrive; it’s very convenient.”
Huashan Hospital?
Lin Yi murmured to himself, not expecting that Chen Teng would have connections at Huashan Hospital.
Yan Ci’s aunt had heart problems, which would involve the cardiology department, which was his own territory.
Lin Yi wondered who Chen Teng had arranged for the treatment.
“I know Huashan Hospital,” Tang Li said.
“It’s a famous hospital, and its always on TV, but I’ve heard the medical costs are quite high. Maybe we should go to another hospital.”
Hearing Tang Li mention money, Chen Teng chuckled.
“Ms. Yun, nice to meet you. You’re too kind.”
Chen Teng said as he stood up, pouring her a glass of wine.
“Rest assured, I’m a straightforward person. In the future, I’ll handle any business matters related to industry and commerce at your restaurant. You won’t have to worry about a thing.”
Yun Shu smiled and nodded, “Thank you very much, Mr. Chen.”
Then she poured herself a glass of wine and raised it toward Lin Yi.
“Mr. Lin, thank you for dining at Furong Xiang. On behalf of all the staff here, I offer you a toast and hope you have an enjoyable meal.”
Huh?
Chen Teng and Zhou Xinyu were both stunned.
Out of everyone here, Lin Yi had been the most inconspicuous.
Why was the owner of Furong Xiang offering a toast to Yan Ci’s boyfriend?
Lin Yi and Yan Ci were just as surprised.
Lin Yi scrutinized Yun Shu, certain that he didn’t know her.
Why was she offering him a toast?
It didn’t make sense!
But as the saying goes, you don’t hit someone who’s smiling at you. Since she had come to offer a toast, it wouldn’t be appropriate to act too aloof.
Yan Ci, understanding the situation, poured a glass of wine for Lin Yi, who accepted it and gently clinked glasses with Yun Shu.
“Thank you for the hospitality.”
“You’re too kind, Mr. Lin. It’s our honor to have you dine at Furong Xiang,” Yun Shu said with a smile.
“I’ve already informed the staff that you won’t need to make a reservation in the future. We’ll always have a private room reserved for you, and no matter how much you spend, it will all be on the house.”
“Uh...”
Hearing this, Chen Teng and Zhou Xinyu exchanged bewildered looks, unable to speak.
They hadn’t expected that the reason they were given a private room and so many dishes was not because of them!
It was all because of this man!
“That’s very generous of you,” Lin Yi said politely, though he had no intention of returning to dine here.
As the saying goes, every gift in life comes with a hidden price.
Yun Shu’s actions surely had ulterior motives, and Lin Yi understood social interactions all too well.
