“Boss, where are we going?” Lin Wu, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, looked at Zhou Chao and asked. Fortunately, Lin Wu was driving an Alpha today, so there was plenty of space for everyone to sit comfortably.
Zhou Chao checked the location sent by Qian Jin and the name of the private room, then promptly said, “We’re going to the Hilton Hotel in Peng City.” “Well, Xiao Chao, there’s no need to go to such a fancy place. Let’s just find a restaurant to eat,” Ye Zhengfeng, sitting in the back seat, immediately suggested upon hearing this.
“Uncle Ye, don’t worry about the cost. The hotel is under my name!”
“Just this one in Peng City?” Ye Zhengfeng asked in confusion.
“No, all the Hilton hotels in the entire Greater China region are under my ownership,” Lin Wu and Wang Yi were both shocked, and Ye Zhengfeng was slightly surprised as well.
It’s worth noting that Hilton had 200 hotels in the Greater China region at that time, and the main point was that the hotel locations were not leased but constructed by the company itself, which made the value even more substantial. Moreover, Hilton hotels were located in prime areas of each city, and the land alone was quite valuable.
“Well, today we’ll take advantage of your generosity,” Ye Zhengfeng said calmly.
“Uncle Ye, we’re all family!”
“You, young man, how interesting!” Ye Zhengfeng and Zhou Chao both laughed.
“Daddy, what are you laughing at?” Little Mango looked puzzled.
“We’re laughing because we’re wondering if you’ll eat two bowls of rice tonight!” Ye Zhengfeng lovingly patted Little Mango’s head.
“Haha, tonight, Little Mango will definitely eat two bowls of rice!” Listening to Little Mango’s earnest and adorable voice in the car, everyone burst into laughter.
“Hmph, just wait and see, I’ll show you!” Little Mango stood with her hands on her hips, determined and pouting.
The group arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Futian District in this cheerful atmosphere.
“Big brother, carry me!” As soon as she got out of the car, Little Mango clung to Zhou Chao. Zhou Chao looked at Ye Zhengfeng and Aunt Wang, both of whom were teasing him. Zhou Chao helplessly picked up Little Mango.
“Let’s go, we’re having a big meal!” Zhou Chao took the lead and walked into the hotel.
As soon as Zhou Chao entered the hotel lobby, a lobby greeter approached.
“Hello, sir, are you here for a meal or to stay at the hotel?”
“We’re here for a meal, and we’ve reserved a private room at the Spring Breeze Pavilion.” The lobby greeter was momentarily taken aback upon hearing that it was the Spring Breeze Pavilion.
“Sir, please wait for a moment!” The greeter quickly rushed to the front desk and, in no time, a beautiful woman came over.
“Mr. Zhou, hello, I’m the lobby manager of Hilton Hotel. Please follow me!” Zhou Chao was satisfied with the service attitude and nodded in approval.
“Uncle Ye, let’s go!” Ye Zhengfeng nodded in response, and the group took the elevator to the 16th floor of the Spring Breeze Pavilion.
“Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment, we’ll serve the dishes shortly!” Zhou Chao nodded, and the lobby manager left the private room!
“Not bad, the hospitality service here is quite good!” Ye Zhengfeng watched the departing lobby manager and nodded in satisfaction.
“It’s hard to say; when there’s an opportunity, we should arrange surprise inspections to see how these services really perform.”
“Your idea is a good one. With the increasing number of businesses under your umbrella, it’s inevitable that some bad apples might appear. Keeping a close eye on inspections is important. Don’t wait until something goes wrong before giving it attention!”
“Thank you, Uncle Ye, for your guidance!” Zhou Chao’s words were appreciated by Ye Zhengfeng. Being able to listen to feedback or suggestions was a sign of self-awareness.
Before long, the door to the private room opened, and waiters entered with trays of exquisite food. In no time, the table was filled with more than a dozen dishes. Zhou Chao, who was initially delighted, regained his composure.
“Xiao Chao, don’t overthink it! This is your first time here, and the management doesn’t know what your preferences are. If they prepare too little food, it might seem like a slight, but if they prepare too much, it might seem like a waste. At least, they’re showing you some respect!”
After hearing Ye Zhengfeng’s words, Zhou Chao immediately understood. He wasn’t dumb, and with a little guidance from Ye Zhengfeng, he quickly grasped the situation.
“Uncle Ye, I understand! Let’s eat!” Ye Zhengfeng saw that Zhou Chao had figured it out and nodded in approval.
The five of them began to eat, occasionally discussing the dishes and, in the case of Little Mango, trying her best to eat. Although she didn’t eat much, she managed to finish two bowls, luckily they were small bowls. Still, it made Little Mango feel pleasantly full.
“How many days are you planning to stay in Peng City?” Ye Zhengfeng, now well-fed, asked Zhou Chao who was sitting next to him.
“Well, once Li Wei has things under control, I’ll be heading back to Modu. I’ll arrange for others to quickly start construction on the factory buildings here and get the sterile plant built as soon as possible!”
Ye Zhengfeng nodded in response and said, “I’ll keep an eye on things here. If you need anything, you can contact me at any time.”
“Thank you for your help, Uncle Ye!” Ye Zhengfeng waved his hand, not saying much.
“Alright, it’s about time, let’s go!” Ye Zhengfeng had rested enough and was ready to go home.
As soon as they opened the door, a middle-aged man in his forties stood at the entrance, looking somewhat anxious.
“Xiao Chao, it seems he’s looking for you! I’ll leave first!” Ye Zhengfeng could tell that he was one of the hotel’s higher-ups and decided to leave first.
“Uncle Ye, please wait for me!” He then turned to the middle-aged man and gestured towards the private room before walking inside. The middle-aged man followed him hurriedly.
“Boss, I’m Yang Jia, the person in charge of the Hilton Hotel in Peng City.”
“Do you have your membership card with you?” Zhou Chao’s question momentarily surprised Yang Jia, but he quickly took out two diamond membership cards from his bag!
“Impressive. You’ve handled the preparations excellently. Stay put; we’ll have a conversation later.” Zhou Chao accepted the two membership cards and exited, leaving Yang Jia wiping sweat from his forehead in relief.
“Little Mango, did you enjoy the food tonight?” Zhou Chao approached Little Mango as soon as he left the private room.
“It was delicious!”
“Do you want to come here to eat again in the future?”
“Yes!” Little Mango replied with her childlike voice, and Zhou Chao playfully pinched her cheek.
“Brother is giving you this card. You can use it to come here to eat in the future!” Zhou Chao handed the card to Little Mango, who then glanced at Ye Zhengfeng beside her.
“You’re quite crafty, little guy! I won’t take this thing. You’re trying to set me up, do you realize that?” It only occurred to Zhou Chao that his actions could potentially be exploited by someone with ulterior motives, and that wouldn’t be a good thing.
“Well, I didn’t think it through. In the future, if you want to eat here, just call Brother!”
“Sure,” Little Mango nodded seriously.
“We’ll be leaving now; you have your own matters to attend to.”
“Lin Wu, take Uncle Ye and the others back!” Lin Wu nodded and escorted Ye Zhengfeng and the other two away.
Zhou Chao watched them get on the elevator and then turned back to the private room.
“Please have a seat. Today was good overall! The service was quite satisfactory. I hope you’ll continue to maintain this level. However, I don’t want to see this kind of extravagance and waste again next time.”
“Don’t worry, boss! There won’t be a next time!” Yang Jia breathed a sigh of relief in his mind.
“Alright, book a room for me. I’ll be staying here for a few days.”
“Boss, please follow me!” Yang Jia led Zhou Chao upstairs..
