"Sir, may I ask which attendant booked this private room for you? Could you tell me?"
To ascertain the truth, the lobby manager deliberately fabricated an excuse and began to inquire.
If the person in front of him truly knew Qiu Hanying, then he would definitely know who booked this private room.
If he couldn't say, then it would only mean that the other party was indeed causing trouble.
"My name is Lin Chen. Who did you say booked it?"
Seeing that the lobby manager was playing mind games here, Lin Chen was a little helpless and could only introduce himself.
"I apologize, Mr. Lin. We… Huh? You are Lin Chen?"
The lobby manager, seeing that Lin Chen didn't mention Qiu Hanying's name and instead introduced himself, was about to refuse. But suddenly, he remembered that this name sounded familiar!
Lin Chen, Lin Chen, wasn't he the largest shareholder of their Ru Shuang Group?
"That's right. Arrange it quickly. We have an honored guest paying today. Are you afraid we can't afford it?"
Lin Chen revealed a slight smile and gave the lobby manager a wink.
"Oh, oh, oh, yes, yes, yes. Esteemed guests, and Director Qiao, Miss Yang, there is an available private room on the third floor. Please follow me."
The lobby manager was sharp and immediately understood the meaning behind Lin Chen's eyes.
She had been present when Yang Lijuan and Zhou Qing were arguing earlier and naturally knew how aggressive the woman named Yang Lijuan was.
Now that Lin Chen had arrived and was deliberately pretending to be poor, he was clearly here to stand up for Zhou Qing!
He was so envious. Zhou Qing actually had such a brother!
"Hehehe, let's go."
Seeing the lobby manager personally lead the way, Director Qiao also felt a sense of prestige and followed the lobby manager to the third floor.
Private Room 918 was a unique existence within the entire Ru Shuang Hotel.
This private room was rarely opened to the public. It was only used when Qiu Hanying personally invited guests or for particularly distinguished VIPs.
Since the Ru Shuang Hotel officially opened for business, Private Room 918 had only hosted three groups of guests.
And these three groups were the leaders of the top families in the entire Zhejiang Province.
As Lin Chen and the others entered the private room, they were completely astonished by its luxuriousness.
The tableware was made of crystal, the ceiling featured a genuine crystal chandelier, and even the chairs were crafted from precious wood.
"I've never heard of this Private Room 918 before when I've been here?"
Seeing such extravagance, Director Qiao was immediately surprised.
The Ru Shuang Hotel's chefs were indeed skilled, so this wasn't his first time here.
He had even been to the hotel's most luxurious Private Room 888, but its splendor seemed to pale in comparison to this place, didn't it?
"What is the usage fee for this private room?"
Director Qiao, full of curiosity, asked the lobby manager.
"Director Qiao, this private room is an internal room of our hotel and is rarely opened to the public, so there is no usage fee."
The lobby manager smiled faintly and replied.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Your hotel actually has such a nice place?"
Upon hearing the lobby manager's answer, Director Qiao couldn't help but sigh.
"Mr. Lin, the ingredients in the kitchen are all prepared. Shall we serve the dishes now, or wait a little longer?"
After everyone had taken their seats, the lobby manager came to Lin Chen's side and proactively inquired.
"Hahaha, don't ask me. Director Qiao is treating today, so everything is up to him."
Hearing the lobby manager's question, Lin Chen chuckled.
"Alright, then Director Qiao, what do you think..."
After receiving Lin Chen's reply, the lobby manager was completely relieved.
She knew what Lin Chen was thinking now and had asked out of professional courtesy.
Now that she had received a positive confirmation again, she could proceed without reservation.
Today, she was determined to make a good impression on Lin Chen, this major shareholder. If she could satisfy him, her future development would be limitless!
"Good, since everything is ready, let's serve the dishes."
Director Qiao relished being the center of attention and immediately nodded.
"Alright, please wait a moment, everyone."
Upon receiving the answer, the lobby manager immediately went down to make arrangements.
Before long, a group of beautiful waitresses in cheongsams entered the private room, carrying exquisite dishes and placing them on the crystal table in front of them.
Seeing these waitresses, Director Qiao was stunned. Weren't these the exclusive waitresses from Private Room 888? How did they end up here?
"Miss Zhou, today is your birthday. All hotel staff wish you a happy birthday."
After placing the dishes, the waitresses even performed a classical dance. The scene surprised Zhou Qing and the others.
"Director Qiao, I feel like something isn't quite right. This looks like the finest caviar..."
"This red wine, didn't we see it at the auction last time? It looks like it costs over three million per bottle?"
Looking at the table full of dishes, Yang Lijuan subconsciously swallowed.
Now, there were crystal tableware, waitresses performing dances, and even two bottles of red wine costing over three million each.
"What? Over three million per bottle? Are you sure?"
Upon hearing Yang Lijuan's words, Director Qiao was completely dumbfounded.
Good heavens, if this red wine was over three million per bottle, then the red wine alone on the table tonight would cost over six million!
He wasn't very knowledgeable about caviar, but he knew it was definitely very expensive.
If red wine worth three million a bottle was used as an ingredient, how expensive would the caviar be?
"I say, Lin Chen, right? Did you order these dishes yesterday?"
Director Qiao swallowed and looked at Lin Chen, speaking to him proactively.
In his opinion, Lin Chen, dressed in street clothes, wouldn't possibly order such expensive dishes if he were ordering.
After all, if he and Yang Lijuan hadn't shown up today, Zhou Qing would have had to bear the cost of this entire meal!
How could the red wine served now be so expensive?
Although he was a director of Li Shui Group, he was actually just a minor director. His annual dividend was only around seven to eight million yuan.
He certainly wasn't so extravagant that a single bottle of wine would cost millions, was he?
"Yes, I ordered it yesterday. Otherwise, the hotel wouldn't have prepared it in advance."
Hearing Director Qiao's inquiry, Lin Chen nodded, his expression resolute.
He wasn't lying at all. These dishes were arranged yesterday with Qiu Hanying.
When he was young, Aunt Zhou and Zhou Qing's family had always taken care of him. Now that he had become an immortal cultivator and had endless wealth,
when facing the people he cherished, how could he be stingy?
According to Qiu Hanying yesterday, this meal would cost around ten million yuan. Others definitely couldn't afford it.
But for him now, everyone in the room, except for Director Qiao and Yang Lijuan, were people he cherished dearly. He had finally made a name for himself, and he wanted to give them the best!
Not to mention, it was Zhou Qing's birthday today. What was wrong with being extravagant?
