Chapter 239 - Luckily, My Assistant Remembered the Location (1/2)
Pei Qian, “???”
Zhang Zuting, I had treated you so well; this is how you repay me! Pei Qian hurriedly took a look at the comments on Zhang Zuting’s Weibo account and ascertained the seriousness of the situation.
If the response was good, there was going to be trouble.
Zhang Zuting had already revealed the keywords ‘Jingzhou’ and ‘private kitchen’. If someone really was interested and started to ask around, what was Pei Qian going to do?
Although Zhang Zuting was no longer that popular, he still had his die-hard fans. If a few of them were coincidentally in Jingzhou and wanted to try a ‘Zhang Zuting dinner’, wouldn’t Pei Qian’s restaurant be exposed?
While Zhang Zuting’s popularity had tankedsince he posted this message a few days ago, more than five hundred comments had been left on it.
Pei Qian hurriedly took a look.
“Sponsored partnership? This is good, this is good.”
“Hahaha, why didn’t you say earlier?! If I knew you were in Jingzhou, I would have gone to meet you!”
“What a pity; I missed an opportunity to meet my idol.”
“With a game company? Which game company has such great foresight and has found a treasure like Uncle Zhang?”
“Uncle Zhang, are you helping this restaurant to publicize? No worries; please send us the location so that we can go and support it!”
“So, where can we find this private kitchen?”
“This restaurant is a little unprofessional. Since it had enlisted Uncle Zhang’s help to publicize it, it should at least provide a few nice photos. There isn’t even a single one now; who would go and try it?”
Everything else was similar to the above.
Pei Qian was a little more relaxed now.
Evidently, most fans had caught the gist of the message, that Zhang Zuting was ‘collaborating with a game company’ and were all trying to guess which company it was, what type of collaboration this entailed.
Only a minority was fixated on the second half of the Weibo message.
The crux was that there weren’t any pictures attached.
For gourmet food and delicacies, pictures were the most persuasive; they were after all worth a thousand words and could instantly catch everyone’s eye.
Of course, if someone was a writer and could use words to describe mouth-watering food, that was a different case.
Zhang Zuting evidently wasn’t such a skilled writer.
Hence, although a few were asking for the private kitchen’s address, most did not pay much attention to it.
Zhang Zuting had also selected a few more popular comments to reply to.
“The partnership collaboration is currently still confidential; I will update everyone shortly.” “As it was a hasty trip to Jingzhou this time, I will definitely find a chance in the future to meet my friends in Jingzhou!”
“It isn’t publicity; the food is really, really
good.”
“I am actually not sure of the exact location as well; my partners had sent a car to bring me there. I can only recall that it was in a rather secluded villa district. It was rather quaint, and the scenery was beautiful.”
“I don’t have any pictures. This private kitchen forbids any photo-taking as they feel that photo-taking would rob the whole gourmet food experience and details would be missed out. I strongly recommend locals in Jingzhou to go and try it! Also, it might be extremely pricey.”
If Zhang Zuting didn’t reply, things might have died down. However, after he did, his fans were even more confused.
He didn’t know the location. He didn’t have any pictures. He didn’t even know the price of the food items there.
The only clue given was that it was in a secluded villa district that was very quaint.
However, there were so many such districts in Jingzhou!
Jingzhou City had seven or eight scenic districts; each of them had at least six to seven villa sections. Besides these districts, there were some scattered villas around as well. Even after filtering ‘secluded’, ‘rather quaint’, and ‘the scenery was beautiful’; there were at least twenty to thirty places that fit this description. Furthermore, each of these places had so many villas; how would the fans know where exactly this private kitchen was hidden?
Without any leads or any pictures, how were they supposed to look for this restaurant?
