Erhu knew Zheng Shaochen. As soon as he walked into the restaurant, Erhu saw him and hurriedly approached, "Young Master, you’re here..."
It wasn’t hard to see that when facing Zheng Shaochen, he was a bit uneasy inside.
Even though they no longer supplied goods to Qinglin Restaurant, having been at the bottom of society for so long, he instinctively thought that someone like Zheng Shaochen was born more noble than he was.
And indeed, that was the truth.
"I heard my cousin is here too, where is he?" Zheng Shaochen, having grown up being praised and fawned over, naturally maintained his superior attitude when facing Erhu.
Even when speaking to him, his gaze never fell upon him.
Erhu didn’t get angry, as if this was the most natural thing in the world, he pointed to the back and said, "Young Master Nan is in a private room at the back, would you like to go over together?" Updates are released by N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Wasn’t that a redundant question?
Was he not here to find his cousin? Did they really think he came just to eat?
The door to the private room was opened by Erhu, and when Zheng Shaochen saw Nan Jin Yu elegantly dining inside, his expression changed, instantly taking on a fawning look, "Cousin, why didn’t you tell me you were coming to town? Fortunately, I had someone keep an eye on the restaurant here, otherwise, I wouldn’t have known you came!"
Zheng Shaochen walked in, nonchalantly sat down in an empty seat, and naturally instructed Erhu, "Go, bring me another set of dishes and chopsticks!"
Gu Nian looked at him unpleasantly, "Mr. Zheng, why are you so focused on my family’s restaurant? Could it be you’re afraid my Hundred Flavors Inn will steal your business, so you’re worried and have someone gather information?"
This guy, always showing up with such a superior attitude, even though Nan Jin Yu’s status is higher than his, he never acted like he was the king of the world.
Of course, Zheng Shaochen wouldn’t admit his true intentions, "You think your little Hundred Flavors Inn can steal my Qinglin Restaurant’s business? Are you dreaming?"
He just wanted to see what trick this girl could play, which is why he had someone keep an eye on her.
"Oh? If you’re not watching the business here, could it be you’re intentionally having someone spy on me?" Nan Jin Yu put down the chopsticks he was holding and looked up at him.
Zheng Shaochen’s heart skipped a beat, "No, cousin, don’t misunderstand, how could I dare have someone spy on you! I... I was just curious about what the girl has been up to, so I had someone come take a look, and happened to see you."
If he offended his cousin because of this annoying girl, it would be a great loss.
"Now that you’ve seen it, what do you think?" Nan Jin Yu said.
"No..." Zheng Shaochen was about to say not much, but then he noticed Nan Jin Yu staring closely at him, and quickly changed his tune, "Very good, I never thought, Gu Nian would have such talent, managing the Hundred Flavors Inn better than my Qinglin Restaurant!"
Honestly, when he first entered, Zheng Shaochen was taken aback.
Compared to Qinglin Restaurant’s bleakness today, Hundred Flavors Inn was bustling with people, and those who arrived late were queuing outside because they couldn’t find a seat.
However, if Nan Jin Yu wasn’t around, Zheng Shaochen would definitely never admit that Gu Nian was indeed better than him.
"Since you say it’s good, then I’m relieved. After all, I’ve invested silver into this restaurant, so this way, it shouldn’t be a total loss." Nan Jin Yu chuckled lightly.
Zheng Shaochen finally remembered this matter.
