Retired After Winning Merit, Honourable Although Defeated (24)

"Call your manager over."

"Okay, Sir, please wait a moment."

After about a minute, the restaurant's manager came out. He was a man in his 40s, wearing a pair of golden-framed glasses. He was a bit chubby but very cheerful-looking.

Before Su Yu said anything, the manager walked over and said respectfully, "Welcome, Young Master Su. How come you didn't say anything so we could prepare?" 

"It's fine. My friend and I were just shopping nearby so it was a last-minute decision."

"Please come in…"

"Are there still openings? I'd like a quiet room…" Su Yu asserted.

"Yes, yes, yes… Even if other people don't have seats, there will still be a room specially reserved for you. Young Master Shen had given us this order."

The people in line looked at them with envy as the manager led Su Yu and Huo Mian up the stairs.

Only then did Huo Mian come to a realization. "Does this restaurant belong to Shen Mingxi?"
