Chapter 181: A Huge Conspiracy

Fortunately, the entrance of the restaurant was in sight. He changed to a smiling face right away, saying, “Here we are. Yanyi, let’s go inside now. I have prepared everything.”

“Humm,” this time, the middle-aged man acted even more straightforwardly. He just answered with a single word and walked forward by himself.

“This old fellow really has a bad temper,” the boss grounded his teeth privately but revealed a mild look on his face and led the way enthusiastically ahead of them

“Hello, Boss. Hello, Mr. Lee. I have got everything ready. Please follow me,” Manager Gou walked up for two steps and started to greet them before leading the three of them into the restaurant.

They passed through the main hall into the VIP area. Eventually, they arrived at a room with Green Bamboo Room written on the door.

After a sound of “Zhi Ya”, Manager Gou pushed open the door and retreated to one side, making way for them to get in.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Lee. Everything in the room has no smell. The dishes are to be served very soon. Please wait a moment,” Manager Gou said politely while standing aside.

“Ok. Go and tell Head Chef Zheng to hurry up,” the middle-aged man didn’t intend to speak while the young man beside him was also just watched with a smile, without saying anything. It was the boss himself who had to speak first.

However, he specifically pointed out whom the head chef was.

“Ok. Boss, Mr. Lee, please wait for a little while,” after that, Manager Gou immediately shut the door and left in quick steps, going to the kitchen to inform serving dishes.

“According to your rules, I have instructed my people to serve all the dishes available. Please do savor as many as you can,” seated at the side, the boss said with a smile.

“Humm,” the middle-aged man still said little and was reluctant to speak more.

Fortunately, a constant stream of attendants started to serve the dishes in no time. The big round table was soon stacked with various cuisines.

As a feast for eyes, these diversified and exquisite dishes were waiting for people to savor them.

The middle-aged man didn’t speak. He just picked up the chopsticks and began to taste them.

This person was called Lee Yanyi. He was a quite well-known gourmet reviewer. Different from others, he was famous for his severity and harsh words. The fact that he never received money to give false comments provided him with extraordinary fame in the gourmets circle.

He had also decent prestige in the hearts of the public. Everyone knew that reviewer was not his full-time occupation and he didn’t make money out of that. Therefore, he gained even more trust as a result. Besides, his remarks were extremely accurate.

Consequently, a great number of restaurants or hotels would invite him to savor their dishes for free.

Every time, they would serve him all the dishes they had, just like this time, wishing that one of the dishes could be rated by him as the delicacy.

That further brought about his more picky character, for example, now.

“Ok, I’m full now,” Lee Yanyi savored about half of the dishes before setting down the chopsticks and saying that.

“Ok. Sorry to bother you, Yanyi. Let me see you off,” standing at the side, the boss didn’t ask about the result and still said enthusiastically.

The boss wasn’t really good at enduring. It was just because this was also one of the rules of Lee Yanyi.

“You are welcome,” Lee Yanyi didn’t become politer after eating the free dishes, but just said a few more words.

Without making any more small talk, the boss stood up and began to see Lee Yanyi off.

On the big round table behind them, exquisite dishes gradually lost the heat and became cool.

After sending Lee Yanyi away, Manager Gou asked, “Boss, how did it go? Is he satisfied?”

“There should be no problems,” the boss first carefully thought back for a while and then answered with certainty.

“There are definitely no problems. I didn’t see any discontented expression on Mr. Lee’s face,” Manager Gou nevertheless said confidently.
