When I arrived at the restaurant, night had fallen, the lights of San Francisco were full of colorful colors, the cold wind raged the streets and alleys were covered with a layer of cold, even if you could occasionally see pedestrians coming and going, they all pulled up their trench coats to cover their faces, and walked quickly in a hurry, as if they were tirelessly looking for an indoor environment where they could stop and stay, greedy for a trace of warmth in the milky yellow halo.

"What time is Jay's appointment? Eight thirty? We shouldn't be late, right? Logan parked his car in front of the restaurant, looking for his phone, trying to confirm the time.

"A quarter of an hour to go." Lu Ke is a very punctual personality, and when he rarely has a friend gathering in the middle of the season, he naturally will not be rashly late, and when he left Candlestick Park, he calculated the time in advance, including the traffic jam time on the road, and finally ensured that he could arrive early.

Logan, on the other hand, was a casual and idle personality, "A quarter of an hour? Then we can have an aperitif and relax a little. Don't drink red wine tonight, just a glass of sherry. Stop, turn off the engine, get out of the car, Logan and Lu Ke chatted casually, "How did Jay make a reservation for a French restaurant and ask us to wear formal clothes, it's really troublesome, I don't even wear formal clothes for the post-game press conference, it feels like stealing my dad's clothes." ”

In the midst of the chatter and complaints, Logan handed the car keys to the parking boy, and then followed Lu Ke's footsteps and walked up the stairs towards the restaurant.

"I heard Aldon say that this French restaurant has only been open for less than a year, and the chef is poached from a three-Michelin three-star restaurant, and during the hot time of opening, you had to make a reservation four months in advance, which is not so exaggerated now, but it is still one of the most difficult restaurants in the city to book, I guess, Jay wants to surprise Emily, right?" Lu Ke doesn't know much about these, and when it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, Aldong is much more professional.

Logan was still unsure, "I don't quite understand, Jay wants us to surprise Emily?" I thought he was just hoping for an old friend to get together and chat, so do we need to prepare a gift or something? Why do I think it's weird, is your guess reliable? ”

"Unreliable." Lu Ke replied neatly, "Anyway, no matter what the accident is, I think as long as I sell you, there will be no problem." ”

Logan has black lines all over his head.

While speaking, Lu Ke and Logan had already arrived at the door of the restaurant, pushed the door and entered the reception, and the receptionist showed a shallow smile, "Welcome to 'Saison', what can I do to help you?" ”

"My friend has made an appointment for eight thirty tonight, Fox." Lu Ke said politely, turned his head to look at Logan, who was awkwardly adjusting his suit, and didn't hold back a smile, "Hey, Taishan, are you still not used to it?" ”

Logan responded with a roll of the eye.

"Sir." The receptionist's sweet and gentle voice intervened, and said to Lu Ke with a smile, "I'm sorry, we don't have a reservation for Mr. Fox in our system, may I ask, do you need to confirm it again?" ”

Lu Ke and Logan were a little surprised, this was obviously an unexpected situation, Logan was even more uncomposed, "How come?" Could it be that Jay was joking on purpose? Would you like to make sure again? Jay Fox. The second half of the sentence was said to the receptionist, but he remained polite in his irritability, and then muttered to Lu Ke, "Then didn't I wear this suit for nothing?" It's a real hassle, why don't you go to the bar and have a beer? ”

Lu Ke didn't know why, but he was more patient, and after getting the receptionist's confirmation again, he didn't panic, "Let's call Jay first to see if we are in the wrong place, or if there is any accident." ”

Before Lu Ke could dial the phone, the door of the restaurant was pushed open again.

"Welcome to 'Seasons.'" The receptionist's voice became the background again, and then Jay's sweaty embarrassed appearance appeared in front of him.

"Jay!" Logan was the first to shout, "What the hell is going on?" Why don't I have an appointment here? What is the purpose of today's mystery? ”

Logan was a little anxious, he didn't like suspense or surprises, he always felt that he was being kept in the dark, desperate to find an answer; At this point, Jay was finally seen, and all the questions could be answered, but Logan became more and more urgent, but now Jay didn't have time to answer.

Jay quickly nodded to Lu Ke and Logan, and then walked forward quickly to talk to the receptionist, "I just called and inquired, and they said that the appointment was indeed completed, can you inquire again?" Jay and the receptionist whispered, obviously something was complicated.

Lu Ke and Logan were left to hang aside for about two minutes and three minutes, and the scene was a little chaotic. However, they are all old friends, so naturally they don't mind such a trivial matter.

After the exchange, Jay still couldn't succeed in the end, and turned around in frustration and showed a bitter smile to the two friends.

"I'm sorry." Jay scratched his head vigorously, "I obviously made an appointment in advance, through an intermediary agency, but I don't know why I didn't make an appointment in the end." ”

"Huh? Why? Logan couldn't understand, "Is it so cumbersome to make an appointment now?" ”

"No, no, it's just here." Jay waved his hand again and again to explain, "It's still hot now, it needs to be at least a month in advance, I only made an appointment last week, and I couldn't get a place at all, so I found a special intermediary agency...... Yes! What the hell is going on? What a disaster! ”

Logan still didn't quite understand, "Why would other people need to make an appointment a month in advance, but this intermediary agency was able to cut the line?" Can he squeeze the others out? Also, why do you have to eat here? Just find a casual restaurant, do we mind so much? Wait, or ......"

Logan wanted to continue to say something, but Lu Ke saw that the discussion had gone off track, so he hurriedly interrupted, "Jay, what Logan said makes sense, do we have to eat here?" If so, we ask if there are other solutions, and once we have determined the results, we can think of alternatives as soon as possible. ”

After leaving the university environment, things often change a lot unexpectedly.

One possibility, Lu Ke guessed correctly, the matter is indeed related to Emily, and Jay hopes to fulfill his long-cherished wish in a high-end restaurant; There is also a possibility that Lu Ke guessed wrong, it has nothing to do with Emily at all, Jay made a reservation for this restaurant just for Lu Ke and Logan This should be the first time the three of them have met seriously for dinner after graduation, just like a class reunion, Lu Ke and Logan have already achieved fame, and Jay doesn't want to be too shabby.

Of course, these are just two speculations, and there are countless other possibilities Maybe Jay just thinks this restaurant is very delicious, and hopes to introduce it to Lu Ke and Logan, which is also possible; But no matter what, solving the problem now is the top priority, so Lu Ke made a simple summary.

Jay was obviously a little surprised now, and the thoughts in his mind didn't turn a corner, and nodded assummatically, "If you can be here......"

Lu Ke nodded in understanding, and took the initiative to walk towards the receptionist, "Sorry we caused some small chaos here." If we don't have a reservation and eat here tonight, is there any other way? ”

"Sir......" The receptionist's expression was slightly embarrassed, but he didn't say anything, first looked at Lu Ke, then turned his head to look at Logan and Jay, and finally his eyes fell on Lu Ke again, "Mr. Lu, please allow me to ask our duty manager to see if we have a solution." ”

The receptionist quickly turned around and left, Logan leaned over and bumped Lu Ke's shoulder, "Mr. Lu?" It seems that things may turn around. ”

Lu Ke did not introduce himself, but the other party still recognized Lu Ke, which is obviously a positive signal.

After only a few moments of waiting, the receptionist, accompanied by another gentleman in a suit and leather shoes, reappeared, the man with a bright and polite smile, "Welcome to 'Seasons', Mr. Lu, Mr. Newman, and Mr. Fox." I'm the restaurant manager, Jean-Pierre. His footsteps stopped in front of Lu Ke and shook hands amicably, "Sorry for the little commotion just now, this is our faux pas, Mr. Lu is able to come to our restaurant, this is our honor." Excuse me, how many of you are? ”

Jay noticed Lu Ke's gaze and immediately replied, "Four." ”

Hearing this, Logan stood behind Lu Ke and bumped Lu Ke's back with his elbow, as if to say: There is really a fourth person!

Jean-Pierre nodded his head lightly and then introduced, "We now have a table for four people by the window, with a view of the mountains not far away, but if you want privacy, there is also a table for four people in the back garden, I wonder which place you need to arrange?" ”

Not only the location, but also the options!

Logan's thoughts were more straightforward, and he blurted out, "But didn't you just say that there is no place?" ”

Jean-Pierre is not panicked, "We are always willing to reserve seats for our distinguished guests, otherwise it would be rude for guests like Mr. Lu to come to the restaurant and return disappointed." We sincerely hope that we can provide you with the best service, and Mr. Lu led us to the Nations League finals again, and that regional match was really wonderful. ”

In an instant, all eyes fell on Lu Ke, so that Lu Ke was a little nervous.

I have heard a lot that "face is a business card", those Hollywood superstars and celebrities can enjoy VIP treatment without making an appointment at all; Unexpectedly, Lu Ke actually had a day to enjoy privileges, which made Lu Ke, who had always been immersed in the training ground, slightly restrained.

Lu Ke looked around and made a small joke, "Now, I finally know what our hard work on the field is for. ”

Everyone chuckled, and Jean-Pierre stepped aside and made an inviting gesture with a smile on his face, "This way, please!" 2k reading network
