24 Wasn’t that Little Grey Wolf? (2/2)
Their compliments got sweeter and sweeter. Unlike waiters portrayed on television shows, waiters in such places did not dare look down on the guests.
God knew who went to dine at that place—even the boss did not dare offend the guests. If they ridiculed a guest, they would be laid off that very moment.
In the basement of Shencheng Hotel, numerous high-end seafood restaurants served dishes like seafood birdsnest and shark fins. As they walked, Shen Xiaoling became overwhelmed.
As they walked past a seafood tank, she saw the huge lobsters, bonito fish, sea cucumbers, abalones, and Pippi prawns. It was an eye-opening experience. As she looked up at the price board… Lobster - 998 each. Shen Xiaolong gasped as she quickly calculated the price in her head. This cost of the lobster was equivalent to 499 Dove chocolate bars!
How long would it take her to finish all those chocolates?!
”Come, come in and take a seat!” Zhao Ming led the group to a medium-sized table. He said to Su Kuang, ”Sir, now that you have visited me today, I will take care of everything!”
Su Kuang was a little embarrassed, ”I already told Xiaofu that I will be treating him today. How can I let you pay for the meal? I am the elder here, how can I let you, the younger one, treat us? Let me take the bill today!”
”Don't mind me,” Zhao Ming shook his head. ”Sir, you don't know, but I am here being lively for a reason! I have to pay for this meal today. If you don't let me, I will be distraught!”
Hearing Zhao Ming's words, Su Kuang brightened up and said with a smile, ”Really?”
Zhao Ming nodded his head, furiously, ”Really.” It wasn't that Su Kuang could not afford to pay for the meal, but at times like these, he had to let others do it. Didn't Zhao Ming say he had his reasons?
According to his logic, his daughter, Su Ying, and Hong Xiaofu had Awakened. It was likely that Zhao Ming would be asking questions about it, and it would be difficult to evade them. Therefore, Su Kuang agreed, ”Alright, it's your treat then!”
”This is great!” Zhao Mong immediately snapped up and gave orders to the waiters, ”Alright, ask the kitchen to start serving the dishes I've planned. Tell them to hurry up. Do you know who these are? My classmates! That's Su Ying, the Class President! She is an Awakener, she can control ice!” Then, Zhao Mong introduced Hong Xiaofu solemnly, ”That is Brother Fu—I am worried that after I introduce him you guys will be shocked. My Brother Fu is also an Awakener. Do you know what his ability is? He can make others kneel! Tell me, are you not afraid of him?”
Those waiters had seen all sorts of people. Many guests had come to celebrate the Awakeners in their families at the restaurant, but that was the first time they had heard of such an incredible power. The ability to make others kneel—one couldn't afford to mess with it.
Immediately, the group of waiters replied, ”Yes, young master!”
They had prepared everything on their side. As it was the weekend, Zhao Ming had prepared two bottles of Maotai for Su Kuang, and beer for the best of the group.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Shencheng Hotel, a Volkswagen Phaeton followed an Audi A6L into the parking lot. Four people subsequently alighted from the vehicles, including Zhang Yang and his father, Zhang Minghui, and another pair of father and son. The father was a man with a square face and big ears; he was dressed in a suit and tie. Beside him was his son, who wore a casual outfit that gave off a relaxed vibe.
If Hong Xiaofu were there, he would definitely recognize the guy. Wasn't that Little Grey Wolf?
