Chapter 92: I've Got This Field
Zeng Le heard from Li Zekai that Michelin restaurants all need to be booked and have star ratings, and Zeng Le didn't know how many stars this Michelin restaurant near the school was. Because it was a dinner invitation, he couldn't wait to go in and say that there was no seat, it would be too embarrassing, so Zeng Lexian went in alone and asked.
Sure enough, this is a reservation system, and even if there are still vacant seats, you can't dine without a reservation, unless you are a VIP member. Zeng Le inquired about how to become a VIP member, and the waiter at the front desk told him that he needed to spend a total of one million yuan.
"Uh......"
Zeng Le scratched his head in embarrassment, a total of one hundred thousand yuan? Where to go by yourself! He's the first time he's here!
Because he went to the company for a meeting all day today, he wore a suit, and such a formal suit could get into the eyes of others, otherwise people would not pay attention to him.
"Can you apply for a stored value card?"
Hearing Zeng Le's words, the waiter at the front desk burst out laughing.
"No, sir, we don't have a prepaid card system here."
"Uh...... All right. ”
At this moment, a man and a woman came from behind, and the woman sneered:
"Where did this come from, I actually came to a Michelin restaurant to ask if I could get a stored value card, and I laughed to death."
The man straightened his chest, glanced at Zeng Le very arrogantly, and asked him to dodge, because he was a guest who had booked a seat, and let the dirt bun flash aside.
"Darling, our seat is in window six on the first floor, let's go over."
"Okay, husband, you're so nice, it's good that I have you, otherwise I would go out to eat with some people, and I wouldn't know how to book a table, and after I came, I found that I couldn't eat, how embarrassing."
It's quite embarrassing, Zeng Le also feels embarrassed, if he can't eat it after Xin Zhilei comes, it will be embarrassing for the girls.
So, Zeng Le asked again:
"I see that there is no one on the second floor, isn't it okay on the second floor?"
"I'm sorry sir, but you have to book a seat on the second floor in advance. Our restaurant has strict standards, and the reason why we have a reservation system is to prepare the tableware and possible ingredients for you to ensure that you get the best results from your service in our restaurant. ”
The waiter was also kind-hearted and explained to Zeng Le, who came for the first time, and Zeng Le understood, so he didn't blame others.
"Is there any way I can become a member? I'm going to invite someone to dinner, and they're almost there. ”
"I'm sorry sir, but if you book now, it will take three hours to be seated."
In fact, this restaurant has a way to become a member immediately, but the waiter felt that this young man must not be able to do it, so he didn't say anything, but politely persuaded him to quit.
Zeng Le suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, and pretended to invite someone to eat at a Michelin restaurant, but he forgot to make a reservation, and it took three hours before he could sit down to eat.
The change at the front desk was noticed by the restaurant manager, who walked over from a distance and asked softly what Zeng Le needed:
"Sir, are you in trouble? How can I help? ”
"How many stars is your restaurant?"
The manager paused for a moment, thinking that no one had asked such a question yet, but he still replied politely:
"Sir, our restaurant has a two-star Michelin rating."
"Oh, no wonder."
Zeng Le thought to himself, no wonder he didn't get to Samsung, this rule is too rigid, he deserves less than Samsung, this doesn't let him eat, how can he pretend to compare, do you want your buddy to change the location temporarily? He doesn't have that face.
Zeng Le didn't notice that after he said this, the restaurant manager restrained his anger, took a deep breath, and then explained in a cold voice:
"Sir, do you have any misunderstanding about our restaurant?"
"Yes, of course, I'm going to eat at your place now, but I said that those who don't have a reservation can't be seated, isn't this stopping new customers outside, I'm here for the first time, and I don't know the rules, what do you want me to do now?"
"Uh......"
The manager didn't expect Zeng Le to stay here because he didn't know the reservation system, obviously causing trouble to other guests, but there was no way, she also gave advice to the boss, and the boss insisted on the reservation system, saying that this would have a high-end feeling.
"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't help you, the system of our store is like this, unless you take the entire second floor and spend one million at a time to become a member of our store."
The manager also said casually, not thinking that Zeng Le could do it, but Zeng Le's eyes lit up as if he had heard some cure.
"What did you just say? Chartered? ”
"That's right...... There is no one to book tonight on the second floor, as long as one million is reserved for twenty seats, and the one-time consumption reaches the membership threshold, you can dine directly. ”
"Then we have to charter the venue."
"That's right, you can only charter the venue."
“……”
“……”
The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and the manager was stunned, and found that Zeng Le was still looking at her, could it be that she had flowers on her face? No, what did this guest mean just now, he wants to charter the venue? Isn't it a complaint?
"Sir, do you want to charter the venue?"
"yes, do you want to swipe your card now?"
"Of course...... But you're going to pay a million to charter a venue? ”
"You're a strange person, don't you have to book a room to eat without a reservation? You told me. ”
"Alright sir, please swipe your card."
The manager took out a POS machine from the front desk, Zeng Le took out his card and swiped it, and the payment of one million was successful, Didi twice, and the manager's brain was blank.
"Can I go upstairs?"
"Sir, please, I'll lead the way!"
The manager also just reacted, this young man is a young man! A million charters are coming! Only then did he realize that he had just made a mistake and looked down on others, so he hurriedly put on the most respectful posture to remedy it and guided Zeng Le to the second floor.
"Sir, the second floor is yours, how many people do you want to dine later?"
"Two people, that person will come to the front desk and ask in a while, you will bring her, her surname is Xin."
"Miss Xin, I see, do you need a band solo?"
"And this kind of operation?"
"That's right, one of the items that our restaurant specifically serves members, violin playing, will definitely move Miss Xin."
"Uh......"
Zeng Le actually thought to himself, he didn't need to move Xin Zhilei, but he had done it here, it seemed that it was not good to refuse, he spent so much money to become a member, even if he wanted to listen to this performance, he had not enjoyed the edification of this kind of elegant art.
"Come on, then."
"Do you need to order food now?"
"Let's wait until we get there to order food."
"Okay, sir, what's your last name? We need to register your membership information. ”
After registering his name and phone number with the manager, the manager went downstairs, Zeng Le stayed alone on the quiet and dark second floor, only his seat was lit by candlelight on the entire floor, this was the window seat, looking at the dim yellow street lamps outside, Zeng Le fell into deep thought.
Maybe that's what life is like for the upper class?
Alone on the dark second floor, Zeng Le was still a little scared.
The manager went downstairs, and by the way, he also set up a sign at the stairs that "the second floor has been chartered, it is forbidden to go upstairs", a woman came over and said that she wanted to go to the toilet on the second floor, and the manager politely stopped her, asked her to use the toilet on the first floor, and informed her that the second floor had been chartered.
The woman awkwardly returned to her seat and told her male companion about it, she had wanted to go to the second floor to have a look, but she didn't.
These two people are the two people who ridiculed Zeng Le at the front desk, and the male partner sighed and told the woman that this is the rule of high society, and some people are rich and can occupy these resources to show their status.
At this time, Xin Zhilei arrived, she came by taxi, because she was afraid that Zeng Le would wait for a long time, she trotted from the school dormitory to the door, wore a pair of high heels, and was carefully dressed from head to toe, as if she twisted her foot when she came, and she couldn't remember it clearly.
Pushing open the door of the restaurant and seeing the environment inside, she immediately calmed down, tidied up her appearance, returned her hair to normal, and walked to the front desk to ask if there was a Mr. Zeng here.
The waiter at the front desk didn't know Zeng Le's name, but fortunately, the manager was next to him and asked her if she was Miss Xin, Xin Zhilei nodded, and the manager took her to the second floor in a daze.
