Chapter 346: Chapter 342: Sir, you wouldn’t be unable to afford a meal, would you? (First update, requesting monthly tickets)
Zhang Shuai wore a smug face: "In his eyes, the so-called most distinguished guest would definitely be himself."
"Manager, let’s order."
Seeing Zhang Shuai’s pretentious appearance, Qin Yao felt increasingly disgusted.
However, Zhang Shuai mistook Qin Yao’s disdainful look as admiration, becoming even more pleased with himself.
Zhang Shuai deliberately handed the menu to Qin Yao, pretending to be generous.
"Yaoyao, I’m treating today, order whatever you want."
Qin Yao and Tian Ling were also dumbfounded when they saw the menu.
This is too expensive.
A plate of fried potato strips is over one thousand two hundred. Are they frying gold potatoes?
Sour and spicy cabbage is one thousand two hundred, and spicy chicken strips are two thousand two hundred.
...
This is too expensive, even ordinary vegetarian dishes are priced over a thousand, let alone those with meat.
Song Wen enthusiastically introduced: "Our signature dish is chopped pepper fish head, made with carp from Tianchi, very delicious, and it’s just twenty-eight thousand eight hundred."
"Hiss!"
Qin Yao and Tian Ling gasped.
This is too expensive.
Beside them, Ye Chen smiled and said, "This fish seems nice, let’s have one."
Zhang Shuai gritted his teeth in anger beside them.
This twenty-eight thousand eight hundred fish, you dare actually order it.
Song Wen continued to introduce: "This honey salmon is also selected from quality salmon from Japan, prepared by a master chef from Japan, just thirty-one thousand eight hundred for a dish."
"And this turkey leg, selected from Australian turkey, crafted through eighteen processes, forty-two thousand."
...
Listening to Song Wen’s pricing, Zhang Shuai felt dizzy.
But, if this money can win over two beauties, it’s worth it.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Yaoyao, you and Little Ling don’t need to hold back. Just order whatever you like."
In his mind, the more expensive the dish, the better to show off.
Ye Chen, on the side, watched Song Wen show off with a smile.
Zhang Shuai said coldly, "You’ve never seen such expensive dishes before, huh? Are you scared?"
"Oh right, what do you do?" Zhang Shuai asked disdainfully.
"I’m a DiDi Brother," Ye Chen replied proudly.
"Wow, a DiDi Brother? No wonder. Hey, you should cherish this opportunity. This kind of restaurant, you probably will only come once in your lifetime."
The people around also cast disdainful glances when they heard Ye Chen was a DiDi Brother.
Ye Chen cooperatively said, "Hey, the dishes here are too pricey, over a thousand for a plate of potato strips, it’s a rip-off."
Hearing Ye Chen’s complaint, the surrounding guests also became more disdainful.
Ye Chen’s performance was exactly like a country bumpkin.
Among them, Song Wen was the only one who dared not mock Ye Chen.
However, he also looked rather helpless.
The boss complaining about his own hotel being a rip-off, only Ye Chen would do that.
But he also heard that Ye Chen was giving him a hint, urging him to continue tricking Zhang Shuai.
Zhang Shuai indeed took the bait, smugly: "Hey, what do you think, never seen this before? This is how rich people live. This is a three-star Michelin restaurant, of course, the dishes are more expensive than those in small eateries outside. People are lining up to eat here, isn’t it eye-opening?"
Seeing Zhang Shuai ridiculing Ye Chen, Qin Yao was displeased.
"Zhang Shuai, enough is enough."
"Haha, it’s true, it’s true, DiDi Brother, sorry, I’m not making fun of you, it’s just we’re not from the same world, seeing things differently, and a dish like this is probably what you earn after a week of driving DiDi, right?"
Ye Chen frankly nodded, "Yeah, indeed, I earn just one or two thousand a week."
Zhang Shuai, with a mentor’s tone, said, "Yaoyao, let me tell you, as a white-collar worker, being with a DiDi Brother isn’t quite suitable."
Ye Chen smiled faintly, "Buddy, you don’t understand love. Although I’m a DiDi Brother, Yaoyao just likes me. Even though your annual salary is in the millions, Yaoyao just doesn’t feel for you, you can’t envy this."
Zhang Shuai: "..."
Normally, anyone hearing his words would feel ashamed and embarrassed.
But Ye Chen was boasting with a proud face.
Zhang Shuai was speechless towards Ye Chen.
Ye Chen, having brewed his emotions enough, gave Song Wen a look.
Song Wen got the message: "Mr. Zhang is right, our dishes might be pricey, but they are worth it. And these are the regular dishes. We even have a super VIP menu for our esteemed guests, but it’s so expensive that we usually don’t offer it to regular customers."
The diners at the side felt a bit hurt upon hearing this.
So we’re eating dishes worth tens of thousands, yet are still considered regular customers?
Song Wen continued, "These dishes are prepared for social elites like Mr. Zhang. It’s all world-class cuisine, and I’m sure Mr. Zhang’s exquisite taste will find it interesting."
The trap was set deeply for Zhang Shuai.
Zhang Shuai was so flattered by Song Wen that he almost floated to the sky, feeling light even with his own pretense.
As a social elite, with world-class gourmet, yes, yes, that’s the exact feeling I want.
"Of course, manager, bring me the menu."
Song Wen smiled faintly and brought out another exquisite menu.
"This menu is a notch higher than the last one, a bit pricier; I wonder if Mr. Zhang can accept it."
Ye Chen secretly gave Song Wen a thumbs-up.
First, lift you high to make you fall into the trap, now start burying it.
Sure enough, Zhang Shuai fell for it, beaming, "Haha, with an annual salary of several million, I can afford any menu, Yaoyao, you and Little Ling go ahead and order."
Ye Chen winked at the two girls.
The two girls immediately started ordering.
Including Ye Chen, they ordered a total of twenty dishes.
Zhang Shuai took the menu and was instantly stunned upon seeing the dishes.
Every dish was priced at no less than twenty to thirty thousand.
Holy crap? This is insanely expensive.
Seeming to notice Zhang Shuai’s expression, Song Wen said, "Sir, can’t afford it? If so, we can replace it with the regular menu."
Zhang Shuai hated being looked down on the most, and instantly exploded.
"Can’t afford it, who says I can’t afford it, serve them all."
Ye Chen’s lips curled up; keep pretending, you’ll cry soon.
Song Wen smiled slightly, "Sorry, sir, my eyes must be dull, how could someone like you, a gold-collar, not afford it."
Soon a table full of dishes was served.
Every dish was made with the world’s finest ingredients like caviar, the highest quality caviar from Japan.
The abalones were also the best from Australia.
Counting them, the meal cost over three hundred thousand.
That’s a big drain.
No matter what, today he must win these two beauties, otherwise, it’s not worth the money spent.
At this time, Ye Chen and Qin Yao, Tian Ling were already eating.
Only Zhang Shuai had no appetite, eating with his hard-earned money.
"You eat up and watch how I’ll deal with you tonight!" Zhang Shuai gritted his teeth and said.
