Chapter 251: Aftermath of Becoming Famous (2) (2/2)
Just as he was about to return to bed and continue sleeping, there was a knock on the door of his room. “Manager Qin, Manager Qin! Wake up! Come over to the entrance and take a look! Someone charged into the restaurant!”
What!
Manager Qin was shocked wide awake thanks to the furious knocks on his door and the anxious tone of the server outside. He didn’t bother trying to go back to bed and instead tugged on his outer robe and opened the door.
“What’s going on?!”
The server was carrying a lantern. When he noticed that Manager Qin looked like he had just gotten out of bed, he quickly explained, “The entrance was filled with people. For some reason, Ah-zhong opened the door and those people just charged right in. They’ve been making a ruckus about reserving a table. I was going to call more of our staff to chase them off, but some of the people in the crowd look like the stewards of a noble house… The main hall’s already full, so it’s hard to ask them to leave now.”
The server’s face was creased with worry. He was sweating with tension, having to deal with this situation late at night. Furthermore, one of the manservants had reported that one of the doors had been broken from the crowd squeezing in…
Other people worried about whether they would get enough business. However, their Guilin Restaurant had to worry about how they were going to chase away their customers!
When this thought passed through the server’s head, he had to resist the urge to sigh.
Manager Qin had first thought that some hoodlums were trying to cause trouble for them. Who could have expected that it was actually their customers? He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn’t dare to tarry. He changed into decent clothes and followed the server out to the main hall to deal with the situation.
Although their owner was House Jing’an’s Third Young Madam, there were too many nobles in the capital. A single moment of carelessness could mean accidentally offending some noble family and bringing disaster upon themselves.
In the dark of the night, Manager Qin and a few of his more capable subordinates got to work. It wasn’t until daybreak that they finally appeased this crowd of people and got them settled. However, without even giving him the time to take a short break or even a sip of water, another crowd arrived. There were a few middle-aged men in the lead. Before they got to the entrance of Guilin Restaurant, they pointed out the entrance to the people behind them with smiles on their faces. At this distance, he couldn’t tell what they were saying.
It wasn’t even time for the restaurant to open, but Manager Qin was already sitting by the reception counter with a cup of tea. When he saw that twenty or more people were walking towards them from afar, he felt his head go numb.
Those… those people weren’t here to have a meal or reserve a table, right?
Their tables had been booked all the way up till next next month!
As wise as Manager Qin was, he had never experienced such a situation before. In the end, he sent someone to report this matter to Chu Lian. Fortunately, he was given a solution to deal with this problem- at least temporarily.
