73: Chapter 073: Top Private Room!
After sitting down, Claire Weil took a look at Lionel Yeager.
Seeing Lionel’s ordinary clothing, slim figure, and average appearance, a trace of disdain flickered in her eyes.
However, she didn’t show it on her face, and instead asked Julia Stewart, “Julia, what exactly is going on?
Last year when we talked, you said you wouldn’t find a boyfriend so quickly.
How come you now even have a fiancé?”
Julia didn’t explain much, saying, “Plans can’t keep up with changes.”
“I really didn’t expect it.
The number one school beauty from Kyoto University is now taken.
If those guys who pursued you before find out, their hearts will probably break.”
Claire joked then looked at Lionel Yeager and asked, “Mr.
Yeager, since you’ve managed to win the beauty, there must be something extraordinary about you, right?
Yeager, what do you do for a living?”
Pollard Lee also looked at Lionel Yeager.
Lionel nonchalantly replied, “I’m a doctor.”
Claire curiously looked at Lionel and asked, “Mr.
Yeager, are you by any chance a attending physician at a tier-3 hospital in River City?
People’s Hospital or Harmony Hospital, it couldn’t be Central Hospital, right?”
Lionel shook his head, saying, “I don’t work at any of these hospitals.”
Although he had agreed to become an honorary vice-president at Central Hospital, he hadn’t signed a contract yet, so he wasn’t considered a doctor at Central Hospital.
Claire nodded, “That’s true.
It’s really hard to get into a tier-3 hospital.
However, getting a job at an average hospital is pretty good too.”
“I didn’t get a job at any average hospital either.”
Lionel shook his head, then added, “More accurately, I haven’t worked at any hospital.
Only occasionally help people treat illnesses.”
Instantly, the enthusiasm on Claire’s face vanished, and she mockingly said, “In other words, you’re just a barefoot doctor?”
“You could say that.”
“May I ask which medical university Mr.
Yeager graduated from?”
At that moment, Pollard Lee asked with a smile.
Lionel shook his head and replied, “I haven’t attended any medical university.”
Pollard Lee forced a laugh, “Mr.
Yeager is indeed quite unique.”
Claire looked at Julia, and solemnly said, “Julia, we’re all adults now.
We can’t just choose our other half based on feelings alone; we have to consider practicality in the future as well.
Take our Jonathan Harper, for example.
Although he’s not exceptionally outstanding, he graduated from a prestigious overseas university—Harvard University—and studied Clinical Medicine, earning his Ph.D.
Over these past few years, Jonathan has published several papers in international medical forums and received high recognition in the world medical field.
Nowadays, River City Central Hospital has extended an invitation to Jonathan to become an attending physician with an annual salary of 2 million.”
Jonathan Harper coughed lightly, “Selina, this matter has not been thoroughly finalized.
We still need to talk with Central Hospital.”
Claire waved her hand, “Jonathan, don’t be humble.
With your qualifications, this is definitely a done deal.”
Jonathan just smiled and didn’t say much, then looked at Julia and Lionel.
He originally thought Julia and Lionel would be astonished and admire him when they found out he graduated from Harvard University and was a returned overseas postdoctoral scholar.
However, to his confusion, there was no change in Julia and Lionel’s expressions.
They remained calm and composed.
This made him somewhat displeased.
Nevertheless, he thought Julia and Lionel must be pretending, and that they must be feeling extremely shocked inside.
Claire asked Julia with a smile, “Julia, what do you think of our Jonathan?”
Julia nodded and said, “Mr.
Lee is very outstanding.”
“Right, I also think our Jonathan is very outstanding.”
Claire said with a proud face, then continued, “That’s why I say, Julia, you must be extremely cautious in choosing your other half.
With your qualifications, even if you can’t find someone as outstanding as our Jonathan, you should at least find someone similar, right?”
Julia furrowed her eyebrows slightly.
Of course, she heard Claire implying that Julia had poor taste and belittling Lionel secretly.
She initially thought Lionel would be uncomfortable, but found that Lionel seemed indifferent, as if he didn’t care at all.
Julia didn’t explain much either, but instead said, “I think Lionel is quite good.”
“What’s so good about him?”
Claire’s voice suddenly raised, “This guy is just a barefoot doctor.
He has no education, looks, money, or power.
How is he worthy of you?”
Julia said solemnly, “Selina, you can brag about your boyfriend, but you can’t belittle my fiancé.”
Claire sighed, “Julia, don’t be angry.
I’m only saying those things for your own good.
I just don’t want you to suffer with this guy in the future.”
Julia replied, “Selina, you don’t need to worry about that.
Let’s just call the waitress to bring out the dishes.”
She felt that Claire had changed from before, becoming too snobbish.
So, she just wanted to hurry up and have dinner, then leave.
“Alright, let’s get the dishes.”
Claire was about to press the call button.
Just at this moment, the door was pushed open.
Sawyer Lewis walked in smiling, “I’m the lobby manager here, and I wanted to personally invite you all to dine in the River Watching Pavilion Private Room.”
Go to the River Watching Pavilion Private Room?!”
Claire was suddenly taken aback, “Isn’t the River Watching Pavilion one of the top private rooms in the hotel?
We didn’t book the River Watching Pavilion!”
Sawyer Lewis laughed, “Since you are our most distinguished guests, naturally we’ll arrange for you to dine in the River Watching Pavilion.”
“Does that cost money?”
Claire swallowed hard and asked.
Sawyer Lewis shook his head.
He did this solely to show off in front of Julia.
Claire was even more surprised, “I heard that you have to book the top private rooms at the Cloud Cauldron Hotel in advance, and just booking one costs two hundred thousand!
I didn’t expect we’d be dining in the Cloud Cauldron Hotel’s top private room today.
Sawyer Lewis said, “If everyone has no objections, I’ll take you to the River Watching Pavilion Private Room now.”
“Great, great, great!”
Claire was suddenly ecstatic and hurried out.
Pollard Lee followed as well.
Julia just glanced at Sawyer Lewis and didn’t say much, then walked out of the private room with Lionel.
Seeing that Julia didn’t say anything, Sawyer Lewis felt extremely pleased inside.
It seemed that the young mistress approved of his approach, so he had to show off even more.
Soon, led by Sawyer Lewis, Lionel, Julia, and the other two arrived at the River Watching Pavilion Private Room.
The moment the door opened, Claire Weil and Pollard Lee were both dumbfounded.
