Chapter 131 The Wild Quail Soup is Here
He ran to the serving area in two quick steps and intercepted the pot of fragrant wild quail soup.
The waiter carrying the soup was completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.
Cao Jiawang glared at the waiter and said, "You don't need to worry about it. Go do something else. I'll handle this."
Then, he straightened his suit, personally carried the pot of soup, and jogged over to Li Menghan's table.
He placed the soup steadily on the table, then very respectfully apologized to Li Menghan and Dai Chong:
"Sir, Madam, I'm so sorry I'm late. Let me tell you, we still have wild quail soup. The waiter just now didn't understand the situation and made things up. He's a temporary worker who just started yesterday and doesn't know many of the rules. This soup was specially reserved for you, and it's ready now."
When Li Menghan heard Manager Cao say that, she sneered inwardly.
He thought to himself: Sure enough, no matter where he went, if a problem arose, the boss would always shift the blame to the new temporary worker. He'd seen this trick far too many times.
However, he was in a good mood today and didn't care about these little things.
He simply said to Cao Jiawang:
"Since you have the food, please bring us the rest quickly. We're all hungry."
When Cao Jiawang heard that Li Menghan had not pursued the matter, he felt as if he had been granted a pardon.
He nodded repeatedly, bowing deeply, indicating:
"Okay, okay, I'll tell the kitchen right now to bring the other dishes to you as quickly as possible."
After Manager Cao left, Dai Chong sat opposite Li Menghan, still complaining to her.
She frowned and said:
"Brother Menghan, this restaurant is really something. I called and ordered the food this afternoon, but when we arrived, the waiter told us they were sold out. Although it might be that the waiter was new and didn't know any better, it's really unacceptable for such a high-end restaurant to make such a basic mistake."
Li Menghan smiled and said to Dai Chong:
"Alright, don't be angry. This kind of situation is inevitable, after all, some new waiters really don't know anything. The soup has already been served, as long as it's edible."
Dai Chong was still a little angry, but after listening to Li Menghan's comforting words, she picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip of water, and indicated that she was a little calmer.
Then she looked at Li Menghan, a very gentle smile on her face, and told him:
"Brother Menghan, thank you so much for coming to the store to buy a car this morning. You're so supportive of my work."
Li Menghan waved her hand and said:
"There's no question of supporting or opposing it; I'm thinking of buying a car anyway. However, something rather awkward happened today."
Dai Chong asked curiously, "What embarrassing thing happened?"
Li Menghan took a sip of water and slowly said:
"That's when I drove the convoy back to my neighborhood and discovered that I had an entire underground garage full of top-of-the-line luxury cars. Of course, it wasn't in my Beichen Garden neighborhood, but in a resort estate in another suburb."
Dai Chong was shocked when he heard this.
Her mouth dropped open, and she asked, "My God, Brother Menghan, your family even owns a private resort?"
Li Menghan nodded and said:
"Yes, I only found out this morning. If my sister hadn't told me on WeChat, I would have had no idea there was such a place in my house."
Dai Chong covered his mouth, his eyes filled with disbelief: "My God, just how much money does your family have?"
Li Menghan answered very honestly:
"I don't know exactly how much money my family has. Of course, most of it belongs to my father. He just returned from overseas recently. You know, he disappeared for a full eighteen years."
Upon hearing this, Dai Chong was even more astonished: "My God, he disappeared for eighteen years?"
Li Menghan said:
"Yeah. But as soon as he returned to China, he transformed into a super boss. To be honest, when he first came back, I really disliked him because he abandoned me and my mom for so long. But, since I asked him for money a couple of days ago, he gave me a billion yuan in cash without saying a word."
"After seeing that billion in pocket money, I realized that having such a super-rich father might not be such a bad thing after all."
Li Menghan continued:
"Besides, it was his fault for abandoning us for those eighteen years. Now he's using this money to make it up to us, so I feel perfectly justified in using his money, and there's nothing to be conflicted about."
Sitting opposite Li Menghan, Dai Chong felt his worldview was greatly shaken after listening to her words.
What does it mean when a dad who returned from overseas suddenly becomes a super-rich person?
And they even gave him a billion dollars in cash as pocket money all at once.
Dai Chong felt his head was being slammed shut by these enormous numbers.
However, there is one thing she can be 100% sure of now.
That means Li Menghan's family is indeed very wealthy.
Otherwise, how could a billion yuan in cash be called pocket money? That's more money than an average person could earn in hundreds of lifetimes!
Just then, the waiter began to bring the remaining dishes to the table one by one.
The dishes Dai Chong ordered this afternoon were indeed very plentiful.
They have everything, from high-end seafood to all kinds of expensive dishes.
Of course, the most important dish of the meal was the wild quail soup placed in the middle.
Dai Chong immediately picked up a spoon and said very considerately to Li Menghan:
"Brother Menghan, I've heard that this wild quail soup is very nutritious and tastes especially good. Here, have a bowl to warm your stomach."
As she spoke, she ladled out a full bowl of soup and handed it to Li Menghan with both hands.
Li Menghan took the soup bowl and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Meanwhile.
In another private room inside the restaurant.
Xu Shiyou and Xiaomei were sitting at the large dining table.
Xu Shiyou looked at the various seafood and stir-fries that had been served on the table, but found that the most important last dish was missing, which was the pot of wild quail soup.
He's currently throwing a tantrum in the private room.
The two waiters in the private room stood in the corner with their heads down, not daring to look Xu Shiyou in the eye or speak.
Xu Shiyou pointed at the table and shouted:
"Go! Call your Manager Cao over here!"
"Didn't you promise to prepare wild quail soup for me outside? Where's the soup? Where did it go?"
Xu Shiyou slammed his fist on the table in anger:
"The soup's gone! You were just telling me at the door that you had it all ready, and now you're telling me it's gone. Are you kidding me?!"
