Chapter 317: Chapter 317 Grand Opening_1

Ever since Greg Jensen bought the original Kingsley Harrison’s private kitchen, he had hired the experts from Thunder Decoration Company to help renovate the decoration of the courtyard and the house.

After more than a month of refurbishment, the sign for the Dreamscape Garden Branch was finally up, and today was the opening day.

For the branch’s opening, Greg didn’t take it to heart and only invited Adrian Wright, Spencer Burley, and the like. He didn’t bother to invite any other wealthy residents of Jamae City.

The main reason was that he wasn’t very familiar with them, and there wasn’t a need.

With the reputation of Dreamscape Garden Headquarters already established, as long as those gourmet patrons knew about the branch, they would definitely come to try it out.

However, Kingsley Harrison had sent out a message to those regular customers, telling them that Dreamscape Garden had opened a branch.

As for the potential impact, he didn’t expect much, but he felt that if he didn’t even send a message, it would be a bit unfair to those regulars.

Originally scheduled to start the business with fireworks at 9:30 in the morning, Greg arrived at 9:20.

Adrian and Spencer were busying themselves both inside and outside. Seeing Greg arrive, they couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

Spencer complained fiercely, “Boss, for the opening of the branch, how can you let the guests do the work while you, the big boss, arrive so late?”

“Haha, the capable one works harder,” Greg laughed without taking it seriously.

Adrian gave Spencer a glance and said, “Enough with the complaints. You numbskull, do you see him treating you as a guest?”

“Hahaha, Adrian understands me.”

Greg laughed shamelessly and was about to speak when he saw both Brandon Brent and Theo Carter coming out.

Both of them were carrying a roll of disposable carpet, laying it out from inside.

“Man, do you have to be so stingy? Can’t you hire two people to do this? Where are the waiters?”

Greg was a bit displeased; after all, Brandon and Theo were from prominent families. It was fine to have them work under him, but having them do such rough work seemed a bit disrespectful.

Quickly, Brandon said with a smile, “Boss, don’t worry. Uncle Zhang is too busy to handle everything, and today is the only auspicious day for opening this month.

If we don’t open today, we’d have to wait another two months.”

Theo followed up, “Yeah, with Manager Zhang calling for the opening, many things aren’t ready yet. We both felt anxious and just lent a hand spontaneously.”

“Hmm, hard work.”

“It’s nothing, it’s what we should do.”

Both of them were very happy to see the look of approval in Greg’s eyes, and worked even harder.

Louisa Burley came over, with Vivian Shimpson by her side.

“Congratulations, big brother Greg, on the auspicious opening of the branch.”

“Hmm, thank you.”

Louisa was wearing a white down jacket today, with a high-necked white sweater underneath, paired with a pair of jeans, and white boots, looking young and beautiful.

Greg was so struck by her appearance that he blurted out, “Louisa, you look really beautiful today.”

“Really?”

Louisa’s face turned red as she looked down and said softly, “Thank you for your compliment, big brother Greg.”

Ally Shimpson had initially wanted to say a few congratulatory words, but upon seeing this scene, her expression darkened, and she frowned, saying:

“Louisa, it’s too cold outside, let’s go in.”

After saying that, she glared at Greg and pulled Louisa toward the inside.

“Oh, okay.”

Louisa stumbled a bit as she was pulled along, giving Greg a helpless glance and a sorry smile.

Greg smiled and shook his head, signaling that it was okay, and then continued chatting with Adrian and the others.

It wasn’t long before Kingsley Harrison came out from the inside. Seeing that Greg had arrived, he quickly said:

“Boss, you finally came. Today’s the opening day. You didn’t say to come early to pep-talk the staff.”

Greg curled his lip and said, “Pep-talk my ass; all of them are veteran employees transferred over from the headquarters. Do they still need me to rally their enthusiasm?”

“If you want to take credit, just say it directly, you’re of my uncle’s generation, no need to beat around the bush when talking to me.”

“Haha, old habits die hard.”

Kingsley Harrison chuckled dryly and respectfully said, “Then please, Boss, inspect the new store and see how it’s been set up.”

“Alright!”

Greg Jensen, accompanied by Adrian Wright and others, walked around the yard and found that although the branch’s yard was small, its scenery was elegant.

The green plants complemented the ancient-style architecture, giving off the feeling of being in an ancient pavilion.

Greg Jensen nodded in satisfaction and said, “Hmm, not bad. How is the kitchen coming along?”

“They’ve already started preparing the dishes. Joel Edwards himself is in charge, along with his two most capable apprentices.”

“Hmm, it’s about time. Set off the firecrackers.”

“Okay.”

A moment later, the sound of firecrackers exploded!

In front of everyone, Greg Jensen removed the red cloth covering the plaque.

Dreamscape Garden Branch, officially open for business.

Several eager gourmets who had been waiting, came forward smiling, each presenting a gift.

“You all are old friends, no need for such formality, please come inside.”

Greg Jensen ushered the regular customers in and hadn’t even turned around when another large group of customers arrived.

Before ten in the morning, all the private rooms were full. Even the private room reserved for Spencer Burley and others was given up, and still, more people lined up outside.

“I am really sorry, let’s eat in the office instead.”

“No worries, no outsiders here.”

The others didn’t mind much except Vivian Shimpson couldn’t help but mutter, “What’s this tiny run-down place, and why are there so many people?”

Louisa Burley explained with a smile, “Don’t underestimate Big Brother Greg, Dreamscape Garden is packed every day, and they make a pretty penny each month.”

“Pssh, it’s just a lousy restaurant, how much can it make in a month?”

Vivian Shimpson said disdainfully, with a twist of her lips.

Greg Jensen held back a laugh and said, “Not much, just two or three million from the headquarters alone.”

“That much?”

Vivian Shimpson was astounded.

Greg Jensen casually smiled and said, “Yeah, mainly because the headquarters has limited space and can’t accommodate all the customers.

Now it’s good, the branch is also open, doubling the turnover shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Double? Five or six million?”

Seeing Vivian Shimpson stupefied again, Greg Jensen couldn’t help feeling a bit smug and said with a smile, “It’s not a big deal, after all, it’s just a small restaurant.”

Whoosh!

Upon hearing this, Vivian Shimpson’s face immediately turned red, and she said, with a false bravado, “You’re right, it’s just a small restaurant after all. No matter how much money you make, you’re still just a small-time owner.

I’m warning you, you better stay away from Louisa. You two are not from the same world.”

“Vivian…”

Louisa Burley’s face flushed slightly as she pulled her gently and said in a low voice, “Don’t talk nonsense, there’s nothing between me and Big Brother Greg.”

Vivian Shimpson glanced at Greg Jensen, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

Louisa Burley apologetically said, “Big Brother Greg, I’m sorry, that’s just the way Vivian is, she didn’t mean it.”

“It’s okay, ask the chef to serve the dishes. Let’s eat first.”

Greg Jensen smiled and made a phone call to the kitchen, asking them to bring the food to the office.
