Chapter 1663 The Owner Finally Returned
Soon, the news spread that criminals were eating in the private room number 8 at the roast duck restaurant.
Several guests ran to the front desk requesting to leave. The receptionist patiently explained to them:
"There are no criminals dining in our restaurant. Otherwise, we would have called the police long ago."
"The issue with room number 8 was our mistake. Someone had booked the room, but then someone else came to dine and requested that room, not realizing it was already reserved, so the two groups ended up clashing.
The first group closed the door to eat, and when the original bookers arrived, they tried to evict them, but they refused, so our staff is currently addressing the issue."
"In short, there will be no criminals inside, so please eat at ease."
"..."
The front desk staff were extremely frustrated. Although it wasn’t their fault, they had to take responsibility for the error that allowed diners into a reserved private room.
While most guests were persuaded to stay, a few insisted on leaving, claiming the restaurant was bullying customers due to its prominence.
"We don’t want someone else coming halfway through our meal saying they had booked the room first."
"Don’t tell me the issue with room number 8 was an oversight. It’s a special room; how can anyone mistake it for being unbooked? You must’ve judged the later guests’ special status and made the original bookers leave."
"Exactly, being evicted halfway through a meal would be a real letdown. We need to leave and go somewhere else to eat."
The person’s comments made those who were initially persuaded by the front desk reconsider.
Indeed, dining out is tied to hosting, which often relates to either needing favors, expressing gratitude, or simply networking to strengthen relationships.
If your guests are happily eating, and suddenly someone comes to evict you, it’s better not to invite them at all.
It’s no wonder people wanted to switch venues.
Even after repeated assurances from the reception staff that no one would be evicted halfway, several groups still insisted on leaving.
Normally, seats at this restaurant, excluding special rooms, had to be booked three days in advance. Yet now, around ten tables were requesting to leave.
How could the reception staff not be anxious?
They had no choice but to call the manager.
The person behind all this was naturally Mengyu. ℴℴ𝗺
While she set a restriction at the door to prevent outside noise from coming in, her Divine Sense extended outward, "watching" the actions of the restaurant staff.
Seeing everyone in the restaurant determinedly claiming Cheng Jiuyi was the first to book the room and insisting on evicting them, she deliberately signaled to those ready to dine to leave.
In truth, Mengyu could have revealed her status as the Eldest Miss Nan, at least ensuring the staff wouldn’t dare look down on her, but she didn’t want to rely on the Nan Family name just to have a meal. What could she achieve in the future?
What’s more, if she did so, rumors might quickly spread that the Eldest Miss Nan bullied with her family’s influence. The Nan Family’s low-key reputation would be tarnished by her actions.
For matters that could be solved with reason and strength, why resort to using the name of the Nan Family? She didn’t plan on befriending the owner of this roast duck restaurant.
A roast duck restaurant wasn’t worthy of such actions.
Amidst the bustling crowd at the counter requesting to leave, the owner finally returned.
To Mengyu’s surprise, the owner wasn’t the individual listed as the legal representative on the license, but was instead someone she knew.
