Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 654: 181: When did you become so close with her? _7

In just a short time, two membership cards were successfully sold.

When the ordered dishes were served, everyone was too preoccupied with eating to even discuss business matters.

Because the taste was simply too incredible!

Furthermore, the dishes were a feast for the eyes, nose, and tongue!

Mr. Wang remarked, “The food I had at the state banquet in Q Country doesn’t even compare to this!”

Initially, they thought that this restaurant with its great service and beautiful decor would probably only have mediocre food. To their surprise, the dishes were astonishingly delicious!

Even a simple dish like Vegetable Tofu Soup had a unique taste!

The flavors lingered on their tongues.

The foreign guests almost wished they could swallow their tongues along with the food.

After the meal, there were exquisite desserts.

Normally, men did not care much for desserts. However, today, a small piece of tiramisu had them bending over backward.

It was simply too delicious, wasn’t it?!

The group had arrived at eleven in the morning. After dining and discussing business, they didn’t leave until four in the afternoon.

“Mr. Wang, we’ll consider the cooperation matter settled then.”

“Yes.” Mr. Wang handshake with Shangguan Xu.

They continued their conversation as they headed downstairs.

While descending the stairs, Shangguan Xu suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

“Brother!” Ni Yang approached to greet him.

Since the relationship between Shangguan Dehui and Ni Cuihua had been confirmed, Ni Yang had also started calling him brother.

Seeing Shangguan Xu here, of course, she would take the initiative to say hello.

“Yangyang.” Shangguan Xu nodded, turned to Mr. Wang, and introduced, “This is my sister Ni Yang. Yangyang, this is Mr. Wang.”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Wang.” In the catering business, etiquette is paramount, so Ni Yang extended her right hand first.

“Hello.” Mr. Wang looked at Shangguan Xu in surprise, “I didn’t expect you to have such a beautiful sister!”

Mr. Wang knew that Shangguan Xu had a twin sister named Shangguan Xi, whom he had met before.

Although Shangguan Xi was also pretty, she was not as stunning as the girl in front of him now.

Since Ni Yang’s surname was Ni, she certainly wasn’t his biological sister.

Shangguan Xu modestly replied: “Mr. Wang, you flatter her.”

Ni Yang added, “Brother, I have some things to do, so I won’t disturb you.”

“Alright.” Shangguan Xu nodded.

Ni Yang politely nodded to the group and continued to the third floor.

The third floor was designated for VIP customers. Could it be that Ni Yang was also a VIP customer here?

Shangguan Xu contemplated.

Ni Yang ran four milk tea shops and noodle restaurants, totaling eight stores and their monthly profits were unimaginable. Being a VIP client of this restaurant was perfectly normal.

Actually, Ni Yang was here to check the accounts.

The office was conveniently located at the far end of the third floor.

Mr. Wang was a highly influential person in their circle. The people accompanying him today were also not ordinary. After their glowing recommendations, the restaurant became quickly popular in their circle.

The remaining membership cards were all sold within a day, and the second floor private rooms even had to be booked two days in advance.

In a short time, the restaurant made quite a stir in the industry.

Many people were itching to try, wishing to emulate their success.

Since she injured her face, Shangguan Furong had not left the house for three days.

Only after the marks on her face had completely disappeared, she arranged to meet Jia Zhenzhen and other wealthy housewives for a game of mahjong and afternoon tea.

Just as Shangguan Furong left in her carriage, Lin Fang arrived.

It was the butler who received Lin Fang as usual.

“Comrade Lin Fang, your timing is quite unlucky. The lady of the house just left,” he said.

Lin Fang replied, regret written all over her face, “Ah? Really? When will Mrs. Zhao be back?”

The butler shook his head, “I’m not entirely sure.”

“Who is it?” Madame Zhao emerged from inside the house.

The butler answered, “Madam, this is the lady of the house’s friend, Comrade Lin Fang.”

Lin Fang said with a smile, “Hello, Madam.”

“Oh, Xiaolin. Do come in and have a seat,” Madam Zhao invited Lin Fang inside warmly.

“Alright,” Lin Fang nodded, following Madam Zhao into the house.

The butler was puzzled, since when did Lin Fang and Madam Zhao become so familiar?

Meanwhile, Shangguan Furong was busy playing mahjong with a few wealthy ladies. She had lost several rounds consecutively. On top of that, one was boasting about her newly purchased anti-aging cream with skin rejuvenating properties, and another was showing off her new acquisitions. Shangguan Furong was so irritated that she nearly overturned the mahjong table!

“What’s going on with you today, Furong? Your luck is so bad! Are you bothered by something?” Jia Zhenzhen asked.

Shangguan Furong drew a mahjong tile, “I have been dealing with a troublesome matter recently.”

“What is it? Do tell,” Jia Zhenzhen was extremely curious.

It was well known that Shangguan Furong held a high status in her home; neither her mother-in-law at the top nor her husband at the bottom dared to upset her. And now she was having troubles? It was unheard of!

Just unbelievable!

“East wind.” Another wealthy lady tossed a mahjong tile into the river and added, “Exactly, do tell us. Perhaps we might be able to help.”

These people, they’re not really interested in helping her.

All they’re waiting for is a good laugh.

Shangguan Furong calmly eyed each person and continued, “Actually, it’s not my problem. This issue involves my friend’s daughter. She’s quite rebellious. At the tender age of eighteen or nineteen, she’s already dating and looking to settle down. What’s more, the guy she’s with has a notorious reputation…”

Shangguan Furong cleverly turned Ni Yang into her friend’s daughter.

Jia Zhenzhen commented, “Having a clueless daughter is really unfortunate for your friend.”

The others agreed, “When stuck with such a clueless daughter, there’s nothing to do but accept your fate.”

“Actually, I have a solution.” The wealthy lady with curled hair spread her mahjong tiles on the table, “I made a flower upon a kong, I’ve won! Pay up! Pay up!”

The other three tossed their money into the river.

Shangguan Furong said, “Manlin, you say you have a solution, what is it?”

The wealthy lady with curled hair continued, “Why not introduce her to someone better? With parents’ orders and matchmaker’s words, she can’t possibly refuse, right?”

Shangguan Furong laughed immediately, “You’re right. I’ll discuss this with my friend.”

Indeed!

Why hadn’t she thought of this solution herself?

She could introduce Ni Yang to someone far superior!

A man from a background that matches the Shangguan family’s status.

At that time, Ni Yang would undoubtedly be grateful to her.

Shangguan Furong’s mood immediately improved. Her improved mood brought better luck, and she won several rounds in a row. The ladies once again badgered Shangguan Furong for a treat.

“So it’s the end of the month, and money is tight. Furong, you’ve won so much today, you must treat us to a good meal!”

Shangguan Furong laughed, “Look at you guys, casting your ambitions so low. I’ve always said that a woman should control the household finances. How can you let a man be in charge!”

Among these wealthy women, including Jia Zhenzhen, who wasn’t reliant on her husband for pocket money!

Shangguan Furong was the only one distributing money to her husband.

Everyone was green with envy!
