Reborn As Lucky Star

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: First Encounter

Yue Jiandong, following the waiter’s directions, led his daughter through the hall to the washroom.

It must be said that the restrooms in the Four Seas Restaurant were decorated with utmost elegance, making even a visit to the toilet a pleasant experience.

However, Yue Qingqing didn’t feel any pleasure, as she suddenly experienced a stomachache…

Despite practicing daily, she hadn’t reached the state of Fasting, so eating grains sometimes led to physical reactions.

“Dad, you can go back first, I know the way.”

Yue Qingqing felt uneasy about making Yue Jiandong wait too long, but there was no way he would be at ease.

“No worries, Dad will wait right by the door.”

Only then did Yue Qingqing enter with her face flushed red.

Yue Jiandong waited by the door, his eyes scanning the restaurant.

Everything about the Four Seas Restaurant, from the decor to the quality of food, was first-rate. If they could supply their fish here…

It was at that moment he spotted a lean man walking by, the manager previously mentioned by the waiter.

The man, noticing Yue Jiandong’s persistent gaze, seemed puzzled.

As the manager of a large restaurant, Zheng Tianbo naturally had the basic hospitality skills and soon approached Yue Jiandong.

“Hello sir, I’m the manager of this restaurant. Is there something troubling you, or do you have any suggestions for us?”

Yue Jiandong’s Adam’s apple moved, but in an instant, he made up his mind.

“Hello, manager, my name is Yue Jiandong.”

“Alright, Mr. Yue, you were saying?”

Yue Jiandong quickly organized his thoughts and shared his ideas with Zheng Tianbo.

Zheng Tianbo remembered the batch of fish, since it was not easy to get a sufficient quantity of good-quality fish from the surrounding villages.

“You mean you want to partner directly with us?” Zheng Tianbo was somewhat tempted.

His partnership with Wang Pengfei wasn’t very pleasant, either.

The Four Seas Restaurant had high standards for quality, but Wang Pengfei occasionally engaged in subpar substitutions and last-minute price hikes, which greatly dissatisfied Zheng Tianbo.

However, there were few in the surrounding villages who had the courage to do business, and even fewer who could completely replace Wang Pengfei.

This man standing before him named Yue Jiandong seemed decent and well-educated, which somewhat moved Zheng Tianbo.

“Okay, please come up with me to discuss this in detail.”

Faced with this great opportunity, Yue Jiandong shook his head, “Sorry, my daughter is still inside, I need to wait for her to come out.”

Zheng Tianbo glanced at the Seagull watch on his wrist, “But I have something to attend to later, I only have time now.”

However, he could understand Yue Jiandong’s parental concerns and, to some extent, he admired Yue Jiandong even more for it.

If a person could leave their child behind to follow him so hastily, displaying such a lack of responsibility, Zheng Tianbo wouldn’t dare to cooperate with them.

After a moment’s thought, Zheng Tianbo called an idle waitress over.

“Mr. Yue, tell me your table number and what your daughter looks like, and I’ll have Xiao Zhang escort her over later. Is that okay with you?”

Yue Jiandong, knowing Yue Qingqing’s intelligence and now having this additional assurance, felt relieved.

“No problem, my daughter’s name is Yue Qingqing, and she’s very beautiful with big eyes…”

Yue Jiandong described her to the waitress until she repeatedly assured him, and only then did he finally follow Zheng Tianbo upstairs to discuss further.

When Yue Qingqing came out of the washroom, she found her father really was gone, replaced by a young server.

The server’s eyes turned to hearts upon seeing her.

“You must be Mr. Yue’s daughter, right?”

While Yue Jiandong boasted of his daughter’s beauty, she inwardly thought, which parent doesn’t find their child beautiful? They should have mentioned more distinctive features.

But now, seeing her in person, she was indeed overly, excessively beautiful.

Beauty was certainly this child’s most defining feature!

“Ah, yes,” Yue Qingqing was startled for a moment but noticed the server harbored no malice.

“Your father has gone upstairs with our manager. Would you like to go back to your seat with Auntie and eat something?”

The server crouched down, eyeing Yue Qingqing’s small face, with a real urge to pinch it.

Yue Qingqing seemed to catch the server’s intent, taking a wary step back before she obediently nodded, “Thank you, Auntie.”

The server was smitten to the core by this adorable little dumpling.

Just as she reached out to hold the little girl’s hand, a loud noise came from behind them.

Both turned around.

Not far from the washroom, a boy suddenly fell over, and for some unknown reason, he tumbled a couple of times, rolling right up to Yue Qingqing’s feet.
