Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 1374 - 1354: "Chance Encounter" (4)
Because of Sun Yukun’s straightforwardness, Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu exchanged a smile. Although they wouldn’t really let him pay, retreating when facing difficulty was quite necessary.
If he tries to show off... he’ll regret it himself later.
They didn’t go into the exclusive private room; after all, the private rooms are too expensive these days, not daring to enter. They casually booked a big room and ordered their own meals.
Luo Qianqian generously ordered a serving of fried noodles for herself and a three-taste egg custard for An Hao.
He Wenyu went straight ahead and ordered the cheapest noodles, while Deng Ming cooperatively ordered a simple meal.
As for the savvy trio and Elvis, who was dragged along to eat, they also ordered relatively inexpensive items.
In Sun Yukun’s eyes, this was blatant contempt. With a decisive wave of his hand, he ordered all ten signature dishes of the day, because there were no prices on the menu...
People who dine here wouldn’t care about price issues. While the prices are a bit high, the flavors are authentically great, winning people’s hearts.
However, this one clearly didn’t know that.
Luo Qianqian quietly settled the previous tab with the waiter, explaining that everyone pays for their own food here and the previous ones were her treat.
The waiter expressed understanding.
Once the exquisite dishes were served, Sun Yukun was stunned. Why do they look ten times more delicate here than outside under the same name?
Hmm... because the price is also several times higher.
Enjoying the dishes in front of him, he didn’t notice anyone else touching the dishes he ordered. Everyone was very tactfully focused on their own food.
After eating to the full, seeing still plenty of dishes left, Sun Yukun felt a twinge of heartache but still called the waiter to settle the bill.
But upon seeing the bill, he was dumbfounded. The cheapest dish is over four figures in price? The most expensive dish almost seventy thousand?
Luo Qianqian smirked, that’s because they didn’t take the most expensive menu.
She looked somewhat embarrassed on her face: "This place..."
"Hmm, I have a membership card, offering a ninety-nine percent discount, do you want to use it?" Luo Qianqian calmly looked at Sun Yukun, wiped her mouth, and signaled to the waiter: "Bring me a cup of yogurt, what are you having?"
"Tea, I guess." Deng Ming looked at the others staring at him and hesitated to speak.
After all, he truly couldn’t enjoy coffee.
Luo Qianqian chuckled: "Bring a pot of the tea leaves I brought."
The waiter immediately went downstairs, not forgetting to apply the ninety-nine percent discount to Sun Yukun’s bill.
Soon she returned pushing a trolley, placing the tea and yogurt on the table, and handed the bill to Luo Qianqian.
This tea is priced at eighty thousand a pot, but... aside from her and the boss here, Luo Xinyue, no one knows this tea exists here.
The bill was intended for certain naive individuals to see.
Luo Qianqian calmly signed her name.
An Hao sipped the yogurt gracefully and elegantly.
The waiter calmly handed the newly printed bill to Sun Yukun: "Would you like to pay by card or cash?"
Cash? How could it be cash?
Luo Qianqian felt this waiter had great potential.
"Card..." Taking several deep breaths, he struggled to pull out his bank card from his wallet, then looked at the others, slightly gritting his teeth: "I hope everyone enjoyed the meal."
Luo Qianqian calmly looked at him, then at the waiter: "Help this gentleman pack up, no need to waste food."
She calmly glanced at Sun Yukun: "Unfortunately, what we ate has already been paid for; I can’t eat such precious food, it’s a waste of money."
If Sun Yukun hadn’t insisted on showing off, it wouldn’t have cost so much. If he had ordered just like them, it would have been quite affordable since he only needed to pay for his own share; Luo Qianqian wouldn’t dare let him treat, it’s hard to forget favors. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
If he uses it against her in the future, wouldn’t it be hard to argue?
But on her own turf, Luo Qianqian truly wasn’t afraid of him defaulting on the bill.
"Miss Luo, we don’t have takeaway boxes here... someone has gone to buy them, just wait a moment," the waiter said seriously.
Sun Yukun’s face turned green, thinking Luo Qianqian’s request for packing was an insult.
Luo Qianqian truly didn’t mean that, after all, such expensive things, better not to have trouble later.
The Shangqi Club doesn’t offer takeaway service, but they do have delivery service, which includes dinnerware, and doesn’t use plastic containers to hold these foods as it’s seen as insulting to the chefs’ creations.
Sun Yukun wanted to say no need, but a meal costing over twenty thousand is really hard to accept, he didn’t quite understand what he ate.
"Could I have a cup of tea as well?" Sun Yukun didn’t want to wait around, looking as if he minded the food, so he told the waiter.
"Certainly, sir, would you also like this Pear Fallen from the Sky Spirit Tea?" The waiter smiled at Sun Yukun.
Hearing that even tea has a name, Sun Yukun suddenly felt something was amiss, paused hesitantly but still shook his head: "Better..."
"Good tea!" Deng Ming’s eyes widened, feeling his energy surge, slightly incredulous.
Elvis also looked full of surprise, unspeakably amazed.
Yan was calm, the tea wasn’t anything extraordinary. What’s special was the added few stalks of Spirit Grass, which were gentle types. However, for her liking, Luo Qianqian added some pear blossom, giving a sweet fragrance, which was quite nice.
"How much for this tea? I’ll have a pound." Deng Ming’s face was full of delight, as if he found a treasure.
The waiter responded respectfully: "Eighty thousand a pot, tea leaves are not sold externally."
Ridiculous, how much could tea leaves be? Only one pound in total, even the boss cherished it, dreaming of buying it? Impossible.
Though the price was made up on the spot, judging by Luo Qianqian’s expression, she seemed quite pleased.
Sun Yukun was instantly frozen, grateful he didn’t ask for it!
A person with such a light lunch suddenly enjoying such expensive tea? Hard to believe.
Fortunately, at this time, the takeaway box arrived, and the waiter earnestly packed for Sun Yukun, handed him the exquisite bag, still politely saying: "Welcome to visit again."
Sun Yukun nearly stumbled. Come again? Wouldn’t he go bankrupt?
"You did well. I didn’t bring cash, so I’ll reward you with a pot of tea." Luo Qianqian smiled, seeing the waiter reporting back after sending Sun Yukun off, raised her lips and said.
The waiter looked up at Luo Qianqian in surprise, she had brewed tea with used tea leaves but still found the taste unforgettable. Working in such a place, able to drink such a thing already seemed lucky, but never expected Luo Qianqian would give her a pot of tea?
The perfect tea brewed was beyond their reach.
Especially this Pear Fallen from the Sky.
"Thank you, little boss, little boss, can I take it home for my mom to taste? I want..." deeply bowing, her plea was very evident.
"That’s your reward, how you deal with it is up to you, for now, go ahead, if I need anything, I’ll call you." Luo Qianqian said calmly, her face full of a gentle smile.
"Thank you, little boss." The waiter held back her emotion, straightened her back immediately, and retreated from the room.
Huangfu Yihui raised an eyebrow: "Great balance, a suitable subordinate."
"To give you?" Luo Qianqian looked speechless, should he study her father’s people in her father’s territory?
