After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Chen Mo glanced at his watch, unwilling to get entangled with them any longer, and was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, the supervisor raised his hand, signaling in time:

"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment while I double-check."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the family of four beside him and said politely:

"The private rooms at Jizu Mountain are indeed currently empty."

"Furthermore, you two did arrive first, and according to the procedure, you should indeed be given priority."

"However, before using the private room at Jizu Mountain, I first confirmed with my husband that the room is small and elegant, and there is a minimum charge."

Upon hearing that there was a minimum charge for the private rooms, the other party immediately became more wary and tentatively asked:

"This private room is so small, and there's a minimum charge? How much is it?"

The manager said with a smile, "The minimum charge for each private room is different; for Jizu Mountain, it's two thousand."

Upon hearing that the minimum spend was two thousand, the other party seemed to immediately relax, letting out a sigh of relief and saying:

"Wow, I thought it would be much more expensive, but it's only two thousand!"

"No problem, two thousand it is! We'll take Jizu Mountain!"

The other party's tone when booking the room instantly became more boastful.

Amidst his boldness, there was also a hint of unease.

Clearly, this family of four was probably aiming for a little over a thousand yuan, and the two thousand yuan was just a little over budget.

However, with so many people watching, it would be embarrassing for a man to back out just because he heard there was a minimum spend requirement.

Upon seeing this, Chen Mo immediately laughed and said:

"Alright, first come, first served. Let them use Jizu Mountain first!"

"Just lead us to the quiet spot in the lobby."

The waiter who led the way was a little confused and subconsciously looked at the supervisor.

It was obvious that the customer was just a regular individual, and their spending was probably not too high. The waiter did a lot of work, but his commission was not much.

But given Chen Mo's status, his spending couldn't be too low, and he was in a good mood today.

Recommending a few dishes or drinks with high commissions might just earn you several days' wages.

"I'm sorry, I may not have explained it clearly just now."

The manager remained calm and continued with a light smile, "The minimum charge for the private rooms at Jizu Mountain is not two thousand per room, but two thousand per person."

"When four people dine together, the minimum spend isn't two thousand, but eight thousand."

"Sir, if you are sure you want to book a private room at Jizu Mountain, I will arrange it for you now."

After the supervisor finished speaking, he immediately opened his tablet, seemingly ready to place an order at any moment.

"What?! A tiny private room has a minimum charge of eight thousand yuan?"

Upon hearing the price, the other party's voice immediately rose, their face filled with disbelief.

"Are you running a restaurant or robbing people?"

As he spoke, the other person's gaze shifted back and forth between the supervisor and Chen Mo's family of three, and suddenly he maliciously speculated:

"Could it be that you two have a good relationship and deliberately raised the price at the last minute to give the other party preferential treatment?"

Faced with the customer's questions, the supervisor remained calm and composed, maintaining his usual dignified and respectful attitude.

"Sir, you can check for yourself. The minimum spending for each private room is noted in the backend system. It's not a price I just randomly set on the spot."

As the supervisor spoke, he switched the employee tablet to the background notes interface.

The customer was initially skeptical, but after taking the supervisor's tablet and looking at it carefully, his face immediately fell.

The other person curled their lip, handed the tablet back to the supervisor, and muttered under their breath:

"There are four of us in the family, so we can't possibly finish that much food."

"It was the family of six behind me who asked to take this private room."

"There are many of them, so even if there's a lot of food, they can definitely finish it. Let's give the room back to them!"

"We're not in a hurry. We'll play on our phones for a bit; it'll be our turn soon."

After the other party finished speaking, they quickly urged their family members to return to their waiting seats and sit down.

Only the family of six who had originally caused the trouble were left standing awkwardly to the side.

I was originally going to watch a play, but unexpectedly, the script ended up back in my hands.

"Me too, we don't want any either, haha." The other person quickly waved their hand and backed away, even feigning kindness with a forced laugh:

"Look at him, he's still holding the baby, he looks really tired."

"Don't keep them waiting, quickly have a waiter escort them to their seats!"

After saying that, he quickly slipped away, sat back in his original spot, and continued to wait in line.

Seeing that a private room at Jizu Mountain was available, the head waiter immediately turned to signal the waiter to quickly lead them inside and to their seats.

The minimum charge for the private room was not only heard by the two large families, but also by Lan Yujuan, who was standing next to them.

"Chen Mo, how about we eat in the lobby too?"

Lan Yujuan gently squeezed the back of Chen Mo's hand with the hand that was being held, then leaned closer and whispered something.

"We don't have any customers today, just the three of us. We'll just sit in the lobby and have a simple meal."

The minimum spending requirement is 2,000 yuan per person, so for three people it would be 6,000 yuan. Although Lan Yujuan could afford the money, she felt very reluctant to spend it.

She knew all too well how difficult it was to make money.

Therefore, we hope that every penny is spent where it should be spent.

After listening, Chen Mo smiled, winked at her, and whispered:

"It's alright, this hotel is a partner of the Beijing branch."

"We eat and stay here, and there are no minimum charges. We can sign up directly and enjoy internal discounts."

"So, feel free to try any of the delicious dishes on the menu later that interest you; it won't cost much."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yujuan's slightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed.

"Okay!"

The waiter led the family of three straight inside.

Turn the corner and enter the glass sightseeing elevator, which leads directly to another separate small building behind it.

Lan Yujuan had been thinking that the minimum charge for such a small private room must be because the dishes here were expensive, resulting in a high average cost per person.

But when the two waiters simultaneously pushed open the heavy doors of the private room at Jizu Mountain, and the furnishings inside came into view, she instantly understood:

It seems that not only is the food here excellent, but the environment is also top-notch!

Moreover, she knew that the restaurant was located within the first ring road, which was almost the most central area of ​​Beijing.

This price certainly seems to be worth it.

In terms of size alone, this private room could easily accommodate two or three large tables, each seating twelve people.

However, during the interior design, the restaurant incorporated artistic touches into many of the spaces.

The ideal space for two or three people to sit down and eat and chat is indeed the best.

After ordering, while the food was being served, Chen Mo, carrying his daughter and holding Lan Yujuan's hand, slowly strolled to the window.

"Come and take a look, what's that over there?"

"You've lived in Beijing for several years. Can you recognize it from this vantage point?"

Lan Yujuan laughed and said, "I'm not a walking map of Beijing. Beijing is so big, I probably wouldn't recognize it..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lan Yujuan froze.

Even she herself didn't expect that she would actually recognize him at a glance!

"My God, you can actually see the red walls from across the street!"

"The scenery here is truly beautiful!"

Chen Mo held his daughter, gently poked her little cheek, and said with a faint smile:

"If you like the food here, we can come here often in the future."

Lan Yujuan excitedly leaned on the windowsill, turned her head to the side and said:

"Being able to enjoy this view while dining is already worth it!"

"If the food is delicious, that's the icing on the cake!"

Chen Mo slowly leaned closer and whispered gently:

"However, there are only three of us, so even if we eat as much as we want at lunchtime, we won't be able to try too many dishes."

There's an event tonight, and it happens to be at this hotel.

"Would you two like to come with me?"

"I'll do the work, you two are in charge of finding good food..."
