Chapter 1963 1964: That Tipsy Feeling
Sun Wei said, "Of course we're daring enough; Liu Feiyang just agreed because he feared Duan Xianren. If people like him were to stick to agreements, that would be a surprise."
The three of them talked as they walked back, and by now the sky had slowly turned dark.
Sun Wei said, "Let's hurry back and keep drinking; we won't stop until we're drunk."
Zhang Zhenlin said, "What if you drink too much?"
Sun Wei replied, "I just love that tipsy feeling. Anyway, Brother Ling has already arranged a place for us to stay."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Just enjoy your drinks; if we end up collaborating, you'll stay in the dormitory above our Xi Shan Restaurant and won't be disappointed."
The four of them walked back together, and by the time they got there, the previous dishes had already been cleared away. Once they returned, they ordered and served new dishes.
By that time, it was already peak dining time, so the Xi Shan Restaurant had no available seats left. But who was Ling Zhenfei? He easily found a rather spacious area and added a table.
This spot was outside the private rooms, between the windows of two private rooms. It was quite spacious here, and adding a table wouldn't affect anything.
Previously, the place was decorated with some greenery for aesthetics; now, the plants had been moved aside, creating a private area for the four of them.
Seeing so many people suddenly inside the restaurant with a long queue outside, Murong Liuqing showed a surprised expression on her face.
Sun Wei sighed, "It's too difficult to get a meal at Xi Shan Restaurant during dining hours."
Zhang Zhenlin said, "Luckily, we know Brother Ling; it's one of the luckiest things in my life."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Stop talking nonsense and eat up. Order whatever you want; once in Foreign Land Space, I won't be able to serve you this meal anymore."
The group ordered dishes and resumed their meal.
The rooms on both sides were private rooms, transformed into business suites under Luo Juan's creative idea.
Dining at Xi Shan Restaurant is already quite a task, so spending a lot of time talking business there is an even greater luxury.
However, the demand for luxury often comes with a unique market need.
Negotiating business at a place like Xi Shan Restaurant significantly increases the chances of success, where the food and everything used reflect mutual sincerity.
Although the price of holding a private room is expensive, they are fully booked daily. Other seats are not available for reservation, but these business suites are.
Yet, there's a standard — business suites are solely for business-related activities; ordinary people cannot dine there.
Only those with financial proof or business credentials meeting the standard can do so. Actually, when Luo Juan first proposed this plan to Ling Zhenfei, he declined, as Xi Shan Restaurant originally had no concept of reservations.
But Ling Zhenfei also knew Luo Juan was incredibly creative, so he decided to trust her and let her handle everything.
Currently, with Luo Juan's efforts, the restaurant has become more upscale, and people from the East have developed a sense of admiration towards Luo Juan.
The four of them ate their meals. Murong Liuqing asked, "When can we go to Xianling Mountain?"
Ling Zhenfei contemplated and said, "Tomorrow, we'll head to Binyang, where you can view Xianling Mountain. But your folks from Wuliang Mountain should still be traveling, so there's no rush; you won't see anyone at Xianling Mountain."
After hearing this, Murong Liuqing showed no expression, seemingly lost in thought.
Ever since leaving Wuliang Mountain, Murong Liuqing hasn't been as cold as before but occasionally reverts to her former icy demeanor, possibly due to thoughts stirring in her mind.
At this moment, the doors of the adjacent business suites opened, and two people stepped out.
They had intended to stand beside the window for a moment but paused in surprise upon stepping out, noticing an extra table there.
The two were a man and a woman. The man frowned upon seeing Ling Zhenfei's table.
"What does Xi Shan Restaurant mean by this? This is a business suite; why is there a guard at the door?"
Ling Zhenfei and the others momentarily paused and looked towards the two. Ling Zhenfei also froze because he recognized the woman—it was Qin Lan.
Qin Lan was equally surprised to see Ling Zhenfei here.
Qin Lan was formally dressed today, and a beautiful woman in formal attire is always dazzling, especially one like Qin Lan, who has the figure and the charisma.
As soon as Qin Lan appeared, she caught the attention of Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin.
Being modern men, Zhang Zhenlin and Sun Wei naturally favored contemporary women like Qin Lan, whose figure and fashion matched their aesthetic preferences.
The man was about to speak more but was stopped by Qin Lan with a small gesture.
The man paused, bewildered by Qin Lan's intentions.
Having stepped forward, Qin Lan approached Ling Zhenfei and quietly asked, "Mr. Ling, why are you here?"
The relationship between Ling Zhenfei and Qin Lan was rather complex, starting from competitors to enemies and now evolving into a more complicated connection.
During their last trip to the Island Nation, the two unexpectedly met on a plane. Originally, Ling Zhenfei had planned to let bygones be bygones regarding Qin Lan, but Qin Lan disagreed.
Upon seeing Ling Zhenfei, Qin Lan was supposed to call him "brother," but given the crowd, she refrained.
Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm here with a few friends in the Provincial City. They all love the dishes at Chishan Restaurant but unfortunately couldn't get a table, so we added one here."
Qin Lan said, "I was discussing business inside; I didn't expect you to be here."
Ling Zhenfei nodded and asked, "How's the business going?"
Qin Lan replied, "Not too promising; I got a bit anxious and stepped out for some air."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry; here's an idea. Let me take a look inside later; maybe I can help you."
Qin Lan was thrilled, "Really? If you step in, that would be fantastic. You're extremely well-known in the Provincial City and even throughout Huaxia now; your involvement would certainly make a difference."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, go back in for now."
Qin Lan flashed a slight smile, stood up, and returned to the business suite with the man.
Sun Wei instantly moved closer, "Brother Ling, who is she? She's stunning."
Ling Zhenfei said, "She's a friend of mine, a strong woman in business here in the Provincial City."
Sun Wei chuckled, "You sure know many beautiful women; someday, you must introduce some to me."
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Of course, that's no problem."
At this moment, Murong Liuqing let out a snort and said, "Men are indeed all the same."
Sun Wei was taken aback and said to Murong Liuqing, "Miss Murong, what do you mean by that? As the saying goes, everyone appreciates beauty. Besides, I'm not interested in all women; I certainly have no interest in you."
Murong Liuqing's expression changed angrily, "What did you say?"
Sun Wei laughed, "What, do I have to say I am interested in you?"
