Chapter Ninety-Eight - When the Blind Date Goes On
After Xia Mingming dropped Alice, he teleported directly to the restaurant he had booked tonight-Olympus.
Olympus sits atop Fifth Avenue, New York's busiest and most extravagant street.
New York's Fifth Avenue is one of the world's top five luxury pilgrimage destinations, topping the Champs-Élysées in Paris, Oxford Street in London, Pitt Street in Sydney and Causeway Bay in Hong Kong.
And Olympus is one of the most upscale restaurants on Fifth Avenue.
Olympus is a three-Michelin-rated restaurant, and the customers who come here are not rich or expensive, or rich or celebrity, and they are not eligible to make reservations. Yes, you read that right, even if you are already rich or celebrity, it only means that you are eligible to make a reservation at Olympus, and if you want to book a seat, you will have to wait at least half a year to talk. So as long as you book a place to dine at Olympus, it means that you are already a person with status, and it can be said that this is also an ID card in disguise. It is said that some scammers in New York used this trick to catch countless gold worshippers, so that they could have a spring snack all night long.
However, even so, the number of reservations is endless, and the reason for this is not only because the food is delicious. The restaurant's many secrets are probably one of the factors in its success.
First of all, no one knows who its owner is. Although all the dishes were handed over to the chefs in the restaurant by hand, these chefs actually forgot what the boss looked like afterwards, and I have to say that this is also one of the favorite gossip of all the guests who patronize here, even the first.
The second point is that the food at Olympus is very distinctive. There are a total of 12 main dishes at Olympus, but the interesting thing is that these 12 dishes are different every day, and the chef inside will go to the market every day to source fresh ingredients and then pair them according to the main dishes set by the guests.
Thirdly, there are only eleven dishes on the à la carte menu every day, and one of them cannot be ordered, and this dish is only delivered but not sold, as for who is it for? It depends on the mood of the chef.
With these three points as a gimmick, coupled with excellent service and good environment, their business is of course endless.
However, there is no one in such a good restaurant today, and all the waiters and chefs are waiting for the arrival of the guests who have chartered the restaurant tonight.
Yes, the famous Olympus was chartered tonight, which has never happened before, and it is estimated that it will be published in the entertainment section tomorrow, otherwise why are there so many reporters shooting with cameras outside the store.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the nightlife of New York has just begun, and the neon lights on the various buildings have just been turned on, and Olympus has already lowered all the curtains to prevent others from snooping in and disturbing the distinguished guests tonight.
It was actually quite strange for a horse-drawn carriage to suddenly appear on the streets of New York, but it made the reporters guarding the gate of Olympus smell the news, and they all seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and they held up their cameras with long guns and short guns, ready to give a close-up of the people who got off the bus.
But what they didn't expect was that as soon as the carriage stopped, they smelled a strange fragrance, and then they all fainted.
Seeing that all the reporters at the door of the restaurant had fainted, Gu Mochou turned around and said to a lady in front of her, "Okay, now we can go down, these reporters won't come to disturb us," After speaking, he took the lead in opening the car door and got out of the car.
"Gwen, let's get out of the car too," said one of the women who spoke to Gumochou, who was Gwenstessie's mother, Helen Stacy.
"Got it," Gwen replied weakly, if it was usual, she would have been excited to hear that she could dine in Olympus, but today she was not excited at all, she was only fifteen years old and was going to go on a blind date with someone else, and if the other party liked her, she would be engaged directly, Gwen felt that she must be crazy, if she was not crazy, then the world must be crazy, otherwise how could such an outrageous thing happen.
No matter what, no matter how bad the mood is, the food always has to be eaten, since she can't resist, it is better to take this opportunity to go to the famous Olympus to taste the food, hoping that the food can change her own bad mood.
So the two ladies, dressed in gorgeous evening dresses, followed Gu Mochou, who was even more gorgeous than them, into Olympus.
As soon as they entered, the bright lights made them see the whole restaurant at once.
The bricks and tiles in the restaurant, the tables and chairs, including the wall decorations, have been designed by famous artists, which can be said to be low-key luxury and connotation.
The only thing that puzzled Gwen and her mother was how it was that there were no customers in such a large restaurant.
"Sit down, I'll pack this place tonight," Gu Mochou saw the doubts of their mother and daughter, and directly said the answer.
"Olympus doesn't seem to have anyone who can charter the venue, Ms. Gu is really amazing," Helen felt dizzy after hearing the answer, and then began to compliment Gu Mochou coming, Gwen saw her mother like this, but her mouth was flattened, and she looked unhappy.
"It's not powerful, in fact, I'm the boss behind Olympus, and to the outside world, I mean I'm closed for a day off," Gu Mochou directly revealed her identity, making Helen dizzy again.
"It turns out that you are the legendary boss, I really didn't think about it," Helen usually discussed with her girlfriends such as the third aunt and six mothers-in-law when she had nothing to do, who is the boss behind Olympus, some say that it is French, because the French are romantic, some say that it is Chinese, because Chinese is famous for cooking, and another says that it is British, because it is ······ This has been kicked out of the girlfriend group by Helen and her best friend, and no one in the world knows that there is only dark cuisine in the UK. In short, no matter what they said, they never thought that the boss behind the scenes would be a woman, plus she was the owner of a large company herself, which surprised Helen even more, where did she get the time to visit.
But it's not without surprises, at least the gossip topic in the usual chat has increased, isn't it?
"This is something I made when I didn't take over the institute before, it's just for fun, and I haven't been here for a long time," he said, handing his coat to the waiter in the restaurant, and then sat down in her reserved seat.
"Is the young master here?" After Gu Mochou sat down, she looked around, and she didn't even see Xia Mingming's shadow, so she wondered if she had gone to the toilet, so she called the person in charge of the restaurant over and asked.
"Young master, he hasn't arrived here yet, probably because of a delay on the way," the person in charge of the restaurant is also a big beauty, tall and long-legged, convex and backward, and very eye-catching, but there is still a gap compared to Gu Mochou, but she can speak, and she is very serious and responsible, so Gu Mochou asked her to be the person in charge of this restaurant, judging from her answer, this woman is really a talking person, even if she doesn't know the cause and effect of the matter, she directly explained to Xia Mingming first, When you meet your boss in the future, you will unconsciously hint at what you have done, and wait for the rhythm of promotion and salary increase.
"I know, you go down first," but what kind of person Gu Mochou is, using her doesn't mean that she will fully believe her, this pouting ass Gu Mochou already knows what she wants to say, and in the end, as she expected, what she said is equivalent to not saying it, it is better to call directly.
So Gu Mochou took out the phone directly from her handbag, dialed her son Xia Mingming's number on the spot, and waited for Xia Mingming to answer the phone.
Finally, the phone was connected, and the first sentence after Gu Mochou spoke, "You won't forget about today's blind date, where are you?" ”
"Traffic jam, that's really no way to do it, by the way, what kind of car are you driving today, I'll call the manager of the restaurant to pick you up at the door, right?" Gu Mochou heard the explanation on the other end of the phone and said slowly.
"Blue Lamborghini, but I asked the butler to arrange a carriage for you today, and the restaurant is not far from our building, even if it is a traffic jam, you can go, if you don't appear in front of me in a minute, when you go back, you know," Gu Mochou's voice suddenly raised several notes, and everyone standing next to her was startled by her, who would have thought that a noble lady would speak so loudly in public.
Perhaps realizing that his behavior was a bit rude, after hanging up the phone, Gu Mochou smiled at Helen and Gwen, apologized, and then looked at the watch on his wrist and began to time.
"Sixty, fifty-nine, fifty-eight······ Nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, "Before he counted to ten, Gu Mochou saw his son push open the door of the restaurant and walked in, looking very calm, Gu Mochou suddenly felt that he was still giving too much time, it is estimated that Xia Mingming used teleportation to rush over, and he knew that it would be enough to give him only three seconds, and I have to say that there is no one who will be a mother who will be like this with his son.
"Old ······ Mother, I'm late, please forgive me," Xia Mingming, who originally wanted to call his mother, saw that her face changed suddenly, and he instantly realized that this was not home, and he had to give his mother face, otherwise his mother would not even leave him after he went back, so he changed his words in an instant.
"Well, it's good to come," after finishing speaking, Gu Mochou said to the manager beside him, "The people have arrived, let's serve the food." ”
"I know the boss, I'll give you the order," the manager said in a very low voice, and then went to the back kitchen.
Seeing that the irrelevant people had already walked away, Gu Mochou glanced at his son and reminded him that he could go and talk to Gwen.
Of course, Xia Mingming saw his mother's hint, but he found that the atmosphere was really a little embarrassing, which made him a little embarrassed, but under Gu Mochou's repeated urging, he could only reluctantly sit next to Gwen.
"What is the name of the young lady," Xia Mingming, in order to cover up the fact that he was weak, he picked up the red wine on the table, and after asking, he began to pretend to drink.
"My name is Gwen Stacey, it's a pleasure to meet you," Plaid was very generous, and directly stretched out her right hand, wanting to shake hands with Xia Mingming, although she was unhappy with today's blind date, but she still gave her mother face in front of outsiders.
Xia Mingming hurriedly put down the red wine glass, and also shook Gwen with his right hand twice, then smiled casually, and then stopped talking, Gwen was confused for a while, she didn't know this man who was going to go on a blind date with him tonight, no, it was a boy, he didn't know what was wrong with the boy who was going to go on a blind date with her tonight, it looked like an otaku who had never been in love.
What Plaid didn't know was that she was inadvertently like a handful.
Xia Mingming, the Hades King of the Ninth Dimension, he is actually a deep otaku.
As a deep otaku, of course, it's normal that you haven't been in love.
He has been cultivating since he was a child, and before he became the king of Hades, he didn't relax for a day, where did he get the time to fall in love, the only women he knew were still souls left, or they were simply corpses, anyway, they were all emotionless existences, how did you tell him to fall in love with them.
At that time, after the king of Hades······ Inside that time. He is fighting with all forces to maintain the status of the underworld, during this time period he has seen a lot of excellent women, but they are generally sent by his opponents, either to assassinate him or to spy on the military, anyway, he did not let go of any of them, and killed them all, so that in the future, he simply bought women and dared to appear in front of him, even after the status of the underworld has been stabilized, in fact, he also has a title of female public enemy on his head for a long, long time, So long that he couldn't even remember.
That's why he finally resurrected a group of outstanding women in the underworld to help him, because he couldn't recruit normal women at all.
In other words, whether it is a normal woman or not, no one wants to go to the underworld to apply for a job, after all, the first condition for wanting to go to the underworld is that you must be a dead person, and do you still want to go? If you want to go, stand up and see if I can't kill you, wait, don't go, you misunderstood, I mean you can only go to the underworld when you die, ah, no misunderstanding, that's good, that's good.
Hey, it's all tears when you talk about this kind of thing too much!
Therefore, don't look at the Hades King He is full of beauties under his hands, and they are all famous beauties in ancient and modern times, in fact, only he knows how miserable the Hades is.
It can be seen from the fact that he still blushes after he looks at Gwen, this otaku is still a single dog.
Wretched.
Lamentable.
Alas.
