Chapter 394 Apology
Chapter 394 Apology
Zhou Lan raised his hand slightly to signal the waiter behind him to come forward and gently place the bottle of exquisitely packaged red wine, a plate of fresh fruit platter and special pastries on the dining table.
Then, Zhou Lan walked up to Shang Qing respectfully with light steps and handed her the VIP card shining with golden light with both hands.
You know, Zhou Lan is an extremely shrewd person. If she didn't have enough wisdom and ability, how could she win the full trust of the young master and successfully serve as the manager of this top hotel?
From the moment she stepped into the private room, she could take in the expressions and behaviors of everyone present with just a casual glance.
Shang Qing's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the girl the young master treated with special care. After all, a quick glance at the people in the room would easily reveal who was the most eye-catching.
Shang Qing barely thought before quickly responding, "Hello, sorry, we're still students, so drinking isn't for us."
Hearing this, Zhou Lan couldn't help but smile softly. Her eyes fell on the group of young people. After a careful look, she said, "It looks like you should all be in college. It's okay to drink a little."
After she finished speaking, her eyes were filled with smiles as they lingered on the beautiful and exquisite girl in front of her, and she secretly felt a bit fond of her.
Shang Qing was stunned at first by Zhou Lan's words, then turned to look at her friends. It dawned on her that she was already a university student, and aside from Ji Xun, who was still underage, the rest of her friends were indeed allowed to drink in moderation. A faint blush crept across her cheeks at the thought.
However, Shang Qing quickly came to his senses, shook his head firmly again, and extended his hand to Zhou Lan, indicating that he refused to accept the VIP card.
She explained seriously, "Actually, what happened today has nothing to do with your eldest young master. It was just a misunderstanding. Therefore, I really cannot accept this kindness."
Faced with Shang Qing's resolute attitude, Zhou Lan's once-beautiful face revealed a perfectly balanced expression of embarrassment and disappointment. She sighed softly, "I'm truly sorry. I hope you can understand my difficulties. This is a task assigned by the Young Master himself. If I don't complete it well, I'm afraid my salary will be deducted... I'm just an employee. I hope you... Besides, as a customer, there's nothing wrong with you accepting this card."
Shang Qing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and she subconsciously cast her eyes towards Ji Xun beside her. Ji Xun was staring at her with a smile, and his eyes seemed to tell her that everything was up to her.
In fact, the last time I ate here, even with help from someone, I still had to wait in line for an hour. It would be so convenient if I had this card.
After hesitating for a moment, Shang Qing reached out and gently picked up the VIP card.
She carefully examined the card in her hand, fiddling with it for a few moments, then raised her large, curious eyes and looked at Zhou Lan and asked, "Can I get a 50% discount with this card?"
Hearing this, Zhou Lan felt like countless little bubbles were popping up in her heart. She felt that the girl in front of her was so cute and lovable!
However, Zhou Lan didn't let her affection show on her face. She just made her smile more sincere. "That's right. With this card, you can enjoy the best service and corresponding discounts in any of our stores."
Shang Qing's face immediately lit up with a bright smile upon hearing this, and she said excitedly, "That's fantastic! In that case, we don't need to get a free meal today. We can just pay for it ourselves, and this VIP card is a great way to settle the bill."
After saying that, she happily handed the card in her hand to Ji Xun. Her cute and lovely look made people laugh.
Ji Xun standing beside him also had a beautiful smile, and his sunny smile made people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
He took the VIP card that Shang Qing handed over, nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, okay."
At this moment, Zhou Lan, who was standing aside, really did not expect Shang Qing to make such a decision, but she also understood that it would be redundant to say anything more at this moment.
Zhou Lan responded even more respectfully, "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely convey this matter to the young master. But this fruit plate and red wine are specially prepared for you two, so please accept them. I hope you will accept them. Otherwise, I will be very embarrassed."
"OK, thanks."
The corners of Ji Xun's mouth rose slightly, outlining a smile as warm and gentle as the spring breeze.
He gently took Shang Qing's hand, which was as soft as white jade, and said in a low and charming voice, "Please help convey that we accept this kindness."
"Okay. I won't bother you any more with your delicious food. I hope everyone can have a pleasant and relaxing meal."
Zhou Lan smiled, nodded gracefully, and turned to leave the private room with several well-trained staff members behind him.
The door was gently closed with a slight "click" sound.
The atmosphere in the private room disappeared instantly, and tranquility returned once again.
At this moment, everyone sitting around the dining table was still immersed in the shocking events that had just happened and could not recover for a long time.
Especially towards the few people behind this mysterious VIP card, they cast their envy unconcealedly.
You know, this is not just an ordinary card.
The discounts and exemption from waiting in line that card holders enjoy are just superficial.
In fact, it is the special identity and status that symbolizes Kyoto's nobility that attracts so many people.
Only those who hold a certain status and influence in Kyoto are eligible to possess it.
Shang Qing naturally didn't know.
Her clear eyes were filled with the surprise of being able to eat delicious food, but she had no idea what the small card in her hand meant.
And what about Ji Xun?
He casually stuffed the precious VIP card into his wallet.
Ji Xun focused all his attention on Shang Qing beside him.
At this moment, Shang Qing was staring at one place intently.
It was the bottle of red wine on the table that had been opened and decanted.
Her two big eyes sparkled with curiosity and desire, like two shining gems.
"Sister, no." Ji Xun looked at Shang Qing's cute appearance and couldn't help but chuckle.
