Chapter 136 - 136 Takeout
136 Takeout
“Young Master, where should we send these two big rocks?” Liu Yanran had already started the car and turned to ask Ye Xuan, who was sitting in the back seat.
Ye Xuan sat upright in the back seat and took a nap. He seemed to be a little tired. He didn’t even open his eyes and said directly, “Such a big thing will take up s.p.a.ce. Let’s just send it to Villa Number One.”
Since such heavy physical work was involved, Zheng Jianghao drove back to Villa Number One with the two of them.
Zheng Jianghao arranged the raw stones according to Ye Xuan’s instructions. He brushed his hands very easily. “Young Master, if there’s nothing else you need, I’ll leave first.”
He looked at the time and saw that it was almost lunchtime. He was worried that he would delay the Young Master’s meal if he stayed here.
Ye Xuan said, “It’s already noon, and I’m asking you to leave? Those who don’t know the situation might think that I’m treating you badly. Stay. Let’s have a meal together!”
“Alright!” Zheng Jianghao grinned and agreed.
This made Liu Yanran, who was standing at the side, cover her mouth and laugh. She whispered to Ye Xuan, “Your bodyguard looks silly, but he’s very upright.”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly and didn’t say anything.
After all, Zheng Jianghao was the big brother of dozens of people under him. It was normal for him to be straightforward.
Moreover, Zheng Jianghao was originally from the military, so this personality suited his character.
Ye Xuan raised his wrist and saw that it was already noon. He was too lazy to go out and simply said to Liu Yanran, “Don’t go out to eat at this time. Let’s just eat takeout at home!”
Liu Yanran nodded and took out her phone to open the takeout app. As she scrolled through the app, she asked Ye Xuan, “What do you want to eat? Or is there a restaurant you like?”
Looking at Liu Yanran, who was becoming more and more like a secretary, Ye Xuan thought for a moment and said, “Since we’re eating takeout, let’s make do. There’s a new three-star Michelin restaurant in Jinling and an old three-star Michelin restaurant beside it. Why don’t we try the new one today? I’ve eaten the old ones before.”
After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Liu Yanran and Zheng Jianghao for advice. However, he saw that Zheng Jianghao’s eyes were wide open and he was dumbfounded.
At this moment, Zheng Jianghao’s heart was in turmoil.
As expected of the Young Master. He was really rich!
He clearly said that they would eat a simple meal, but he actually wanted to eat the delicacies of a three-star Michelin restaurant!
Even when Zheng Jianghao wanted to improve his life, he didn’t dare to go to such a restaurant!
This difference! The difference was too great!
Meanwhile, Liu Yanran was the Director of Huaxia Bank. She was not surprised by a meal.
She thought for a moment and asked, “Young Master, does the three-star Michelin restaurant serve takeout?”
The three-star Michelin restaurant was famous. Usually, if they wanted to have a proper meal in the restaurant, they had to make an appointment in advance. It would probably be a little difficult for them to order takeout.
Ye Xuan looked at Liu Yanran strangely and said calmly, “What’s wrong? Is it very complicated to order takeout? Is a three-star Michelin cafeteria so impressive to the point that they don’t even provide takeout?”
Liu Yanran definitely did not dare to argue with the Young Master. She could only try her best to persuade him. “Young Master, listen to me. It’s impossible for a three-star Michelin restaurant to have takeout. After all, they have their own style. I’ve never heard of any takeout platform or event that delivers food from a three-star Michelin restaurant.”
Where was the high-end and cla.s.sy feeling? If they destroyed the n.o.ble feeling experienced by the guests who dined in for the sake of the small profits from takeout, how could the traffic be so high?
“Furthermore, you also know that customers usually don’t order just one dish at three-star Michelin restaurants. Instead, they will order the best set meals by the head chef. A set meal consists of more than ten dishes. It takes a few hours to eat at the restaurant!” Liu Yanran had tried it several times. After having a long meal, she felt that eating was actually a kind of physical work.
After all, if ordinary people had to eat for three hours, they would definitely not be able to sit still.
Ye Xuan blinked and smiled. “I don’t care if it works or not. Let’s give it a try! I think as long as we really want it, we can definitely do it.”
After saying that, Ye Xuan took out his phone and called the newly opened three-star Michelin restaurant.
Zheng Jianghao, who was sitting at the side, looked at Young Master Ye Xuan in admiration.
As expected of a rich person. He was so serious even when eating takeout.
Was this what people often said about life att.i.tudes?
He had to have some requirements for the things he wanted!
The phone rang a few times before it was picked up. A gentle female voice came from the other end. “h.e.l.lo, welcome to the three-star Michelin restaurant. How can I help you?”
Ye Xuan listened to her opening speech seriously before revealing his motive. “Oh, I want to order!”
The waitress who was on the phone was also stunned when she heard this.
He wanted to order?
What the h.e.l.l?
However, she quickly reacted and said sweetly, “Sir, do you want to reserve a table? Please tell me the number of people eating and the time you will arrive at the shop.”
The waitress had just checked and found that there were still empty seats in the restaurant. A customer had just canceled their reservation.
This man, who sounded very young, was quite lucky.
The waitress had already taken out a pen and paper. Just as she was about to record Ye Xuan’s reservation, she heard him say on the other end of the phone, “No, no, no, you’ve misunderstood me! I don’t want to book a table. I want to buy some takeout from your shop.”
Takeout?
The waitress simply felt a sense of absurdity lingering in her heart.
Even the rich people who she had served in the past would not ask such a strange question!
Someone actually came to the three-star Michelin restaurant to order takeout. Was this a joke?!
“Sir, are you joking? You’re really a humorous person! However, our three-star Michelin restaurant doesn’t provide takeout services. You might not understand our eating methods, but a chef will specially serve you and design the entire meal for you.” Although the waitress felt that the other party was playing a prank, as a professional service staff, the first thing she had to do was not lose her temper with customers.
The customer was always right.
Therefore, she could only use this gentler method to remind the other party.
The waitress felt that she had already done very well. The hint was already so obvious. Even if the person on the other end of the phone was like a block of wood, he should understand, right?
After all, this was the first time she had met such a customer. After answering Ye Xuan, the waitress immediately muted the phone and called the manager over in time.
The manager was overwrought, but he still asked patiently, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
The waitress summarized the situation and told him about Ye Xuan wanting to order takeout.
“I think this person did it on purpose. He might be playing a prank.” The waitress voiced her guess.
Meanwhile, the manager fell into deep thought.
Their shop had just opened. It was time to build up their reputation. Nothing could go wrong at this time.
Although the other party might be deliberately looking for trouble, if they handled it well, it could also show the ability of their three-star Michelin restaurant!
At the thought of this, the manager reached out to the waitress and said, “Give me the phone. I’ll handle the rest.”
The manager took the phone and cleared his throat. Then, he turned off the mute b.u.t.ton and said to Ye Xuan, “h.e.l.lo, Sir. I’m the manager of this three-star Michelin restaurant. First of all, on behalf of the restaurant, I thank you for choosing us.
“However, I also believe that you must have chosen us because of our reputation and the quality of our service. Our three-star Michelin restaurant is a top-notch restaurant. We pay great attention to the taste of every dish. If you order takeout, the taste will be greatly reduced. I think this must be a situation that neither you nor we want to see.”
After saying this, the manager also mentioned the high-end decorations in their cafeteria. “Sir, there are times when your mood during the meal is more important when eating a meal. If you can come to our restaurant personally, you can feel the various atmospheres we create here. Your trip will not be in vain. I guarantee that you will have a pleasant meal.”
It was naturally impossible for the manager to lose his temper with customers. He told Ye Xuan all the reasons he could think of.
Ye Xuan waited for him to finish very politely before saying, “So the manager is worried that the delivery will affect the taste. It’s fine. I can send a helicopter to pick it up.”
Did he say that he would send a helicopter?
When the manager heard Ye Xuan’s words, he was so angry that he laughed.
Why didn’t he say that his name was Shuke1, the Shuke who flew a plane?!
The manager immediately confirmed that Ye Xuan was playing a prank!
This was simply ridiculous.
Their three-star Michelin restaurant was indeed good, but it didn’t mean that they didn’t have a temper.
If the other party was a customer, they would definitely be a G.o.d-like figure. Whatever they said was right.
However, if they came to cause trouble, the restaurant would not let them off!
At the thought of this, the manager’s tone turned cold. He said seriously, “Sir, please stop joking! I don’t know what your motive is, but please put away your current att.i.tude. If you continue like this, our Michelin three-star restaurant has the right to hold you responsible!
“Alright, I hope you can remember my advice and stop calling us!”
After the manager finished speaking, he hung up.
He seemed to still be angry. He called the waitress who had just picked up the call and reprimanded her. “In the future, just hang up if you encounter such troublesome calls. Look at this time. Our restaurant is the busiest at this time. It’s too infuriating to waste time on such things!”
The waitress did not expect such an outcome. She nodded submissively and returned to her seat to continue working.
Not long after she started working, she heard a rumbling noise coming from outside the restaurant.
The sound was very loud and could be heard clearly in the restaurant.
The waitress was a little annoyed by the noise, so she walked out of the restaurant angrily, wanting to see who the culprit was.
One had to know that the requirements of their three-star Michelin restaurant were very high. The guests who came were all the most respected guests. If they were disturbed, could these people bear the responsibility?!
Unexpectedly, the moment she pushed open the door of the restaurant, the noise suddenly increased.
It was the sound of propellers!
The waitress was at a loss. She looked up at the sky.
A military helicopter slowly stopped in front of another Michelin restaurant. It was as if the huge propellers were creating tornadoes.
Was this a helicopter?
Could it be?
The waitress’ head twitched as if she had thought of something. She immediately turned around and ran back to the restaurant to look for the manager.
“Not good, Manager, something happened!” The manager was talking to the guests in a foreign language. When he heard the waitress’ anxious voice, he was a little angry. He turned around and reprimanded her. “Look at yourself. Have you forgotten your previous vocational training? Do you need me to contact the Human Resources Department and let you learn again?”
Her fl.u.s.tered appearance was too embarra.s.sing for their restaurant!
Their three-star Michelin restaurant should be equipped with the best attendants in the world. Elegance was a necessary quality for every attendant.
It was improper to shout.
However, the manager was also worried that something had happened. After reprimanding her, he asked, “Tell me, what happened?”
The waitress’ face was pale as she stammered, “You should go outside and take a look yourself!”
The manager widened his eyes in anger and glared at her.
He had clearly said just now that it was the peak period for meals. If she always asked him to take a look personally, what was she doing at work?
Was she here for free food?
“Manager, don’t be angry. I saw a helicopter in front of the restaurant beside us. I think… it’s here to pick up takeout.” The waitress’ voice became softer and softer, but to the manager, it was like a thunderclap.
