The shopkeeper’s attitude was kind as he said to the middle-aged man, “Sir, I’m really sorry. There are indeed no more private rooms in the restaurant. This lady reserved it long ago and even paid a deposit.”

The middle-aged man snorted coldly. “Are you kidding me? She just asked if you had a private room. If she had reserved it earlier, would she have asked this?”

The shopkeeper continued to smile obsequiously. “I’m really not lying to you about this. Miss Gu had already reserved it half a month ago. Look, she was worried that we didn’t keep the room for her, so she asked. Otherwise, how would I know her? It’s all recorded in our notebook.”

As he spoke, he took the ledger from the counter and flipped to a certain page. He pointed and said, “Look, it’s here, right?”

He only gave him a glance and closed it without letting him see the details clearly.

Then, he called out to the waiter, “Come, bring Miss to the Tranquil Water Pavilion on the second floor.”

The waiter was stunned. Tranquil Water Pavilion? Wasn’t that the private room reserved by the owner of Jinxiu Restaurant?

He could not help but look at Gu Yundong and the rest. They were unfamiliar and he had never seen them before.

However, he knew that the shopkeeper’s instructions definitely meant that this group of people had extraordinary identities.

The waiter did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly led Gu Yundong and the others to the private room upstairs with a smile.

Gu Yundong glanced at the middle-aged man before he left. The latter seemed to be angry.

However, he roughly knew that he could not offend this Jinxiu Restaurant. In the end, he glared fiercely at the shopkeeper and left angrily. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The shopkeeper still had a smile on his face as he sent him out. As he apologized, he invited the man to come again next time. He was not affected by the other party’s dark expression at all.

As Gu Yundong went upstairs, she asked the waiter who led the way, “Do you know that man?”

“Oh, that person is a steward of the Zhou family.” The waiter seemed to know him. “Last time, he accompanied his master to our restaurant and liked our canned fruits very much. Tonight, he came over to eat by himself. It seems that he wanted to invite a junior steward of the Nie family to a banquet, but he came a little too late. Our restaurant’s business is very good, especially that canned food. There are a lot of people eating it, but unfortunately, there’s not much. Miss, do you want to try it? I’ll send it to you later.”

Gu Yundong had seen it just now. Although Liu Wei had told her that her family’s canned food was in short supply in the prefectural city, she was still a little surprised to see it with her own eyes. Indeed, the market in the prefectural city was huge.

And the Nie family’s housekeeper? Was it Nie Cong’s family? She glanced at Aunt Ke, who pretended not to know anything.

Gu Yundong smiled. As she walked, she asked the waiter, “You remember the steward even though he only came once?”

“Hehe, Miss, you don’t say. I don’t have any skills, but my memory is not bad.” As they spoke, the group of people had already gone upstairs and arrived at the entrance of Tranquil Water Pavilion.

This Tranquil Water Pavilion was the largest private room in the entire Jinxiu Restaurant. Furthermore, the location was extremely good. It was quiet in the midst of the commotion and had a wide view.

Not long after Gu Yundong sat down, the shopkeeper came up.

“Miss Gu, what do you want to eat? Just tell me. Young Master said that he will pay for you. There’s no need to stand on ceremony.”

Gu Yundong really did not hold back. Liu Wei had gone to her house to freeload on food and classes.

Therefore, she ordered the restaurant’s signature dish. As for the canned food, she didn’t want it.

There was a lot of canned food at home and they ate too much. Now, even Yunke was not very hungry.

The shopkeeper immediately brought the waiter downstairs to prepare the dishes. As soon as they left, the waiter could not help but ask, “Shopkeeper, who is this Miss Gu?”
