Chapter 248: Chapter 247: 247: Unwise Friendship_1

They had only intended to take a look and casually taste the food at Dreamscape Garden, but as soon as they entered, they were utterly astonished.

They had not expected that the so-called Dreamscape Garden would be so vast.

Not only did it have extensive lawns and a pond, but there was even a small hill behind it.

Moreover, the pond, corridors, and even the houses within had all been renovated. While many modern facilities and elements had been added, these additions were quite discreet.

So, overall, Dreamscape Garden still retained its traditional charm, providing an unimaginable immersive experience.

After admiring the scenery, they were led by the waiter into a private room that had already been prepared.

Each private room essentially allowed guests to view a corner of Dreamscape Garden, enabling them to dine while continuing to enjoy the scenery.

For these first-time customers at Dreamscape Garden, the dining experience felt extremely comfortable, from entering the doors to sitting in the private rooms, to ordering and serving the food.

Everything seemed as if it had been rehearsed countless times, as if there was some kind of understanding between the customers and the waiters.

The waiters at Dreamscape Garden were different from those elsewhere; although they also had gentle smiles on their faces, it wasn’t the fake, professional smile one is used to.

That kind of smile was like a warm ray of spring sunshine in the cold winter, warming the heart.

What pleased them the most was Dreamscape Garden’s special medicinal cuisine. The scent of the medicinal herbs was strong but not at all uncomfortable, and the effects were very good.

After eating, they felt rejuvenated with energy throughout their bodies.

“It’s been a worthwhile trip!”

Director Wang, accompanied by everyone, slowly walked out of Dreamscape Garden. “Greg is really a genius. Not only is his medical skill profound, but he’s also capable of running a restaurant so exceptionally well; it’s truly enviable!”

“Director Wang, you flatter me. If it weren’t for all of your support, my humble restaurant probably wouldn’t have had a single customer.”

Greg subtly complimented in response, immediately invoking good-natured laughter from the crowd.

With a beaming smile, Director Wang pointed at Greg and told everyone, “You see, what did I tell you? Even the way Greg speaks is so appropriate. Isn’t he a rare talent among us?”

Zhao Guiqin hurriedly said, “Haha, Director Wang is right; Boss Greg is indeed no ordinary person.”

“Exactly, the first time I saw Boss Greg, I felt that he handled things appropriately, and he is bound to achieve great things.”

Richard Lampe had received Greg’s kindness, so he genuinely thought highly of Greg, finding him very reliable in handling affairs.

Craig Burley felt the same, especially considering how Greg had used his name to deliver medicine to Richard Lampe—an idea not many young people would have come up with.

“Alright, let’s not keep Greg from his business any longer.”

Director Wang patted Greg’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Keep up the work, and call me if you run into any issues.”

“Sure, thank you in advance, Director Wang,” Greg replied with a smile.

“Alright then, we’ll be off first.”

“Director Wang, take care.”

Greg stood at the entrance, watching as the guests departed. He couldn’t help but smile.

Aside from the irritating fly that was Cindy Harrison, Dreamscape Garden’s opening day had gone quite smoothly.

As for sales, judging by the lunchtime crowd, it was certainly higher than at Reverie Inn.

Greg returned to Dreamscape Garden and called over Kingsley Harrison to inquire about the status of the various private rooms. Seeing that there were no issues, he then headed toward the hill behind.

As he drew closer to the small house midway up the hill, Greg deliberately slowed down, his expression growing more vigilant.

However, the tense confrontation he had anticipated didn’t occur. As he reached the doorstep, he heard a burst of tinkling laughter coming from inside the room.

Are they really having such a good time?

Greg Jensen was somewhat perplexed, and he gently pushed open the room door, to find that the laughter inside abruptly ceased, as everyone’s gaze converged upon him.

The happiest laughter in the room belonged to Louisa Burley and Liliana Grey, while the others were smiling too, their expressions were so stiff they almost rivaled ice sculptures.

With forced bravado, Greg Jensen said with a smile, “So, how is it? Is the dish to your liking?”

Liliana Grey asked, “Is that beauty and wellness cuisine you serve here actually effective?”

“Of course, the formulas are all personally blended by me, and my ancestors tested it countless times to create a dietary meal that is both delicious and medicinally effective.”

Greg casually bragged a bit, and then noticed that all the women’s eyes were shining with anticipation.

Whether it tasted good or not wasn’t important; what mattered was its beauty and wellness properties.

“There was only one serving just now, which was hardly enough. When we tried to order more from the server, we were told that your inn only makes eight servings of that meal a day and that the remaining portions have already been reserved.”

Before Liliana Grey finished speaking, the other women all looked his way, their eyes filled with hopeful anticipation.

Seeing this, Greg couldn’t help but laugh and said, “That’s easy to fix. Wait here, and I’ll have them make a few more servings right now.”

“Yay, Big Brother Greg is the best!” Louisa Burley laughed joyfully.

Vivian Shimpson beside her frowned slightly, seemingly wanting to scold her, but then, thinking of the delicious and beautifying cuisine, she held back her words.

“I’ll make a phone call.”

Greg took out his phone and called Joel Edwards, requesting him to immediately make eight servings of Nourishing Congee.

After hanging up, he saw Adrian Wright and Spencer Burley with sour faces, staring at him despondently.

He couldn’t resist asking curiously, “What are you two looking at me like that for?”

Neither man spoke, but their gaze shifted briefly towards Liliana Grey.

Greg’s mouth spread into a very mischievous grin.

In his presence, Liliana Grey was such a sweet and manageable woman, but in front of others, she was incredibly dominant.

These two poor guys, presumably they’d misspoken and been scolded by Liliana Grey.

“Bad company!”

“End of friendship!”

The two of them scoffed coldly, too lazy to bother with Greg anymore.

Undeterred, Greg made another call, urging for the Nourishing Congee to be served quickly.

Before long, several waiters came in, carrying the Nourishing Congee, and placed it in front of the ladies one by one.

None of the women began eating. Instead, they all turned to look at Liliana Grey.

Liliana Grey said indifferently, “Eat.”

No sooner had her words fallen than Louisa and the others lifted the lids of their dishes and began eating with delight.

Watching this scene, Greg was astounded; Liliana Grey was too formidable—it hadn’t taken her long to tame the other women so thoroughly.

Especially Taylor Ware, who was usually fearless, had also become so obedient.

Greg was entirely caught off guard and could not quite comprehend what method Liliana Grey had used.

The women chatted while they ate, with Liliana Grey taking on the role of the leader, speaking very little.

But when she did speak, everyone else would subconsciously quiet down.

While they were busy with their congee, Greg signaled Adrian and Spencer with a glance. Then, giving an excuse, he stepped outside.
