Chapter 925: No Arrival
Those three ministers were all working at the imperial court, yet they were still inferior to the Imperial Master. So when the Imperial Master invited them to come and have dinner at his restaurant, they should definitely accept the invitation. It was just a dinner, and they shouldn’t have a reason to turn him down.
If the three of them were present, then the other ministers and officers in the court would be present too. And if those n.o.ble people showed up at the restaurant, the rich people from the capital would come and join them as well. In this way, he could at least guarantee that Fortune Restaurant would earn enough money within half a month.
During this period, he would go and investigate the manager of the Luo’s. He was going to see whether the manager had received authorization from the King or more importantly, from a prince. Then he would think about a proper solution.
That should be the best arrangement so far.
When the Imperial Master sorted out the whole thing, Changyi let out a sigh of relief.
The Imperial Master was not a businessman, and he had never had any ideas regarding how to run a restaurant, but he had contacts.
So when the restaurant was in trouble, he was able to make use of his contacts to gain some conveniences. Also, the Imperial Master was a man with strategies, and he knew what he should do. Therefore, he did not think that he had found the wrong leader.
He believed that he would be able to have a wonderful career by following the Imperial Master.
So confidence returned to his face, as he replied firmly. “Okay, I will do that now!”
The Imperial Master nodded in satisfaction and waved him away.
When Changyi left, he got his own men to investigate the whole thing. Whilst he was taking a break in the elegant room, thinking about how to find out the King’s ideas the following day.
Everything seemed to be going forward.
Only now did the Imperial Master feel slightly happier.
It was never a good feeling to get ridden over by someone else.
The Imperial Master had not had a good time in the Saint Divine Land, and after a few smooth months in the Feather Mulberry Land, the Imperial Master again ran into such trouble.
He took a break after having his eyes closed for a while.
Four hours later, Changyi returned, but the confidence on his face was gone. Instead, he looked extremely gloomy as he came to the Imperial Master.
The Imperial Master glanced at him and found that something was wrong. He should not have such a look on his face, if everything had gone smoothly.
“What happened?” The Imperial Master asked seriously, almost scolding him.
“Mr. Imperial Master, the three officers all turned down your offer. They would have come to Fortune Restaurant, even if they had to pay, but…”
“…”
“But they said that they are eating the same thing as those ordinary commoners, who are not paying the same as they are. They are people with n.o.bility, and they have to pay so much for just one meal at Fortune Restaurant whilst eating the same thing as the commoners! The thing is, they don’t care about the cla.s.s differences, it is just that they look so stupid when they have to pay so much money for something that is worth so little. They can’t come to Fortune Restaurant for food, but they can give you the money, if you want it.”
