At this time, in the private room opposite Wen Xinya, Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian ordered a table of delicious food and wine, with all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. The directors sat around the huge round table in a circle. There were also gorgeously dressed waiters serving in the private room, and the atmosphere was quite warm.
Wen Haowen introduced the directors present to Ning Shuqian with praise and compliments. Ning Shuqian was also relaxed and toasted each director one by one. She lowered her posture and used her humble attitude to win a lot of recognition.
The directors were also quite satisfied with Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian's attempts to win them over, and they all smiled happily.
For them, it doesn't matter how much money others bribe them. The most important thing is to behave well in front of them.
Ning Shuqian and Wen Haowen were obviously very good at dealing with people. Such a table of delicious food and good wine would cost at least hundreds of thousands. The two bottles of red wine given to them were worth about 100,000 in total. They could eat with peace of mind, take with ease, and have fun. They didn't need to guarantee anything, or even pay anything, and they didn't have to worry about their reputation, so why wouldn't they be happy
At this time, the door of the private room was opened, and several waiters wearing small cheongsams came in carrying dishes.
The big silver pot is engraved with the pattern of nine dragons grabbing a pearl. It looks very grand. You can tell at a glance that this dish is of great value.
Today's dishes were all arranged by Ning Shuqian. The waiter had just told her that today's dishes had been served, so where did this dish come from? Was it served by mistake
Just as Ning Shuqian was wondering, one of the directors looked at the table full of dishes and laughed on the spot: "The president is so polite. We have been eating for so long and the dishes are not even served yet."
“Yes, yes… You’re so polite…” Voices came one after another in the private room.
Ning Shuqian asked with a smile: "This dish looks very unique, but I don't know what it's called?"
She said this on purpose, implicitly reminding the waiter that he might have served the wrong dish. However, it was just one dish, so it wasn't a big deal. But if a misunderstanding arose because of one dish, that would not be good.
The waiter smiled and said, "This is our signature dish in the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Pavilion, called Braised Dragon Meat."
Then the waiter explained to everyone the origin of the stewed dragon meat. The stewed dragon meat is actually a kind of golden python from America. Not many people eat this kind of snake because its meat is sour and hard, and it does not have much value. However, Jinfeng Yulu Pavilion's unique processing method not only eliminates the sour taste of the snake meat, but also softens the fibers of the snake meat, making this stewed dragon meat melt in the mouth and extremely delicious. It can be called the best delicacy in Beijing.
This braised dragon meat is also quite expensive, costing one hundred thousand yuan for one dish.
From the waiter's expression, it didn't seem like the wrong dish was served. Ning Shuqian was wondering what was going on when the waiter came over to serve the dish.
"This dish is called Braised Phoenix Wings! It's also one of our Golden Wind Jade Dew Pavilion's signature dishes!"
If the stewed dragon meat was a coincidence, then how do we explain the braised phoenix wings? If they made a mistake once, how could they make the same mistake twice in a row
All service personnel in Jinfeng Yulu Pavilion have undergone very professional and rigorous training and will not make such low-level mistakes.
Ning Shuqian felt something was amiss, so she quietly tugged at Wen Haowen's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Did you order these dishes?"
Wen Haowen was a little surprised, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You didn't order it?"
This time, even Ning Shuqian was stunned.
It wasn't ordered by her, and Wen Haowen didn't order it either. What's going on
Five expensive signature dishes were served one after another, and finally five bottles of 1985 Lafite red wine were served.
The waiter finally smiled and said, "What a coincidence. Miss Wen is also having dinner here today. She learned that Mr. Wen held a celebration banquet for Madam Ning, so she specially ordered these five dishes to show her appreciation. She has already paid the bill. Miss Wen wishes Madam Ning a smooth joining of the board of directors, and also wishes all the directors a pleasant meal."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room instantly became quiet.
“It turns out to be Miss Wen…” The directors suddenly felt a bitter taste in their lips and tongues, and the food in their mouths also tasted bland.
The five signature dishes totaled three or four hundred thousand yuan, and the five bottles of 1985 Lafite red wine also totaled one or two hundred thousand yuan. Spending so much money seemed to overshadow the main event.
Who was the host of this dinner? They had benefited from both Wen Haowen's favor and Miss Wen's kindness. What should the directors do
"My little girl..." Wen Haowen's face darkened on the spot. He had arranged this dinner party in a very secretive manner, deliberately avoiding the old man and Wen Xinya. Unexpectedly, she still found out about it. He was certain that Wen Xinya had deliberately used this dinner party to cause trouble.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect Xinya to be eating here too." Ning Shuqian forced her smile. She reached out and quietly tugged at Wen Haowen's sleeve to stop him from speaking, then looked at the waiter with a gentle smile.
Wen Xinya's move was truly brilliant. Without wasting a single move, she had defeated both her and Wen Haowen. At this very moment, these directors must be sitting on pins and needles, unable to eat or drink!
Wen Xinya is a little bitch who only knows how to use these little tricks that are not worthy of being shown on the stage.
The waiter smiled and replied, "It's indeed a coincidence. Miss Wen made a reservation two days ago."
The waiter's answer was flawless.
Ning Shuqian said with a smile on her face: "That's really thoughtful. I wonder which private room Miss Wen is eating in. Since we are all family, it's a rare coincidence that we should eat together."
As a stepmother and a company director, she knew that Wen Xinya was eating at the same restaurant, so there was no reason not to invite her to join them, otherwise she would not be able to get along with these directors.
Wen Xinya was really powerful. If she came uninvited, she would have ways to make her lose face. But now, after making such a fuss, she had the upper hand and held the initiative in her hands, waiting for her to come and invite her.
But she, due to face, had to go and invite her.
The waiter said, "Miss Wen has just finished her meal and left the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Pavilion."
After hearing this, the directors' eyes began to flicker.
Ning Shuqian was startled, as if a little surprised, and revealed a regretful look: "I was originally planning to invite Xinya to have dinner together, but now it seems that there is no such opportunity."
Although she seemed to be talking to the waiter, she was actually speaking to all the directors. At least on the surface, she wanted to maintain her relationship with Wen Xinya.
However, Wen Xinya's leaving without saying goodbye was a blatant slap in the face of her and Wen Haowen.
In today's battle, it seemed that she and Wen Haowen had the upper hand, but the outcome was not worth mentioning at all, and they were completely at a disadvantage.
