Chapter 205: 'Honoured Guests'
"...it's better if you stand outside!"
Understanding dawned on Rong Yue and her gaze became sharp as she looked at the receptionist.
At the same time, she sent another message to Qin Yichen.
[Has the meeting being shifted or did Minister Zhang give us a wrong time?]
He was someone that handled matters cleanly so she had patiently waited for the person that was to pick her up.
On the other side, Asst. Manager Yan stood outside The Imperial Restaurant and kept looking around.
Coincidentally, a sleek and expensive car stopped in front of the restaurant and Feng Buyan and her mother got down from the car.
The both of them were dressed in the latest designs of expensive brands.
Upon seeing her, Asst Manager Yan's face lit up and rushed towards them.
"I'm the Assistant Manager of Imperial Hotel and I have been instructed to bring you to the reserved room,"
Feng Yan's pride was stroked and she glanced at her mom and said with a big smile, "Mom, didn't I tell you that Father would eventually let things go?"
Being welcomed by the assistant Manager wasn't a small honor and even Madame Feng couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
The both of them had been a little worried because of her results. Her father was determined to use her in climbing the ladder of the Feng Family.
Because she had focused too much on the Global Competition, her college examination result wasn't anything spectacular.
If a normal student had scored 630, a lot of people might praise them and celebrate. But Feng Buyan and her family had done a lot of image building.
Even when she had come back, they had done a lot of public relations to make everyone know that she had qualified and was part of the team that went over there to bring glory back to the country.
"Are the two deans here already?" Madame Feng asked. Unlike her daughter, she didn't get carried away for long and got to the important things.
"Yes, they arrived about thirty minutes ago," Manager Yan replied.
On hearing this, her mother's eyes flashed with a bit of worry. They had decided to come thirty minutes earlier to give the two Deans respect but they had even come before them.
Thinking of how long they had been waiting made her worried and she tugged on Feng Yan's hands. "Let's hurry."
Thinking of who had instructed him to welcome them, he added with a fawning smile, "they also brought Minister Zhang along and one more Dean."
Upon hearing that Feng Buyan's eyes widened in shock.
Minister Zhang!
They had gone through so much trouble to make these two Deans see her. How did they get so lucky to even meet Minister Zhang here too?
Feng Yan looked at her mom with excitement. "Mom…"
"Minister Zhang already knows me because of the competition, this time, it won't be hard to convince both of them,"
If she could get the recommendation from this two, she would most likely get the admission into the top school in the country!
Her fists clenched tightly at the thought of getting into the Capital University.
"Manager Yan, please lead the way," Madame Feng told him and this time, there was a subtle change in her walking posture.
She was also not in a hurry anymore as she felt that the two Deans most likely came to meet Minister Zhang. They didn't need to rush and disturb their meeting.
As they entered the restaurant, the first thing that Feng Yan noticed was Rong Yue.
She was impossible to miss, even dressed in casual clothes, her beauty was hard to miss.
"What is she doing here?" Feng Yan asked with a bit of anger.
She knew that Rong Yue didn't have an impressive background. Also, with the recent news, she was even more certain that she was from a an insignificant family.
So she didn't expect that she would see her in this type of place.
Madame Feng's brows also furrowed, she was a full time housewife and her daughter was her major occupation. So despite the difference in their generation, she followed the news that was related to Feng Yan's age group with dedication.
It was impossible for her to forget the face of the person that her daughter disliked the most!
"It seems like even the Imperial Restaurant now opens their doors to all kind of people," Madam Feng added and said it loud enough for Manager Yan to hear.
"No… no.. this must be some mismanagement issue. There are several girls like that nowadays," manager Yan hurriedly explained.
Afraid that the 'honored guests' would be dissatisfied with him or the restaurant, Manager Yan rushed forward to settle the matter.
"Don't you know how to manage your role anymore?" He asked with a loud yell at the receptionist.
"If they don't have a reservation, they are to be sent away immediately, why are you keeping people in the lobby?"
"I was just about to send her off, she came before and said she had a reservation, but she has waited for close to twenty minutes now and hasn't given me the reservation details."
"Miss, our restaurant has its rules and regulations. If you didn't make any prior booking or have someone you are here to meet, we cannot entertain you,"
Rong Yue's brows crinkled a little as she stood up, from the corner of her eyes, she saw Feng Yan and could already tell that some drama was going to start soon.
Although the meeting with the Deans and Minister Zhang was considered important, she didn't think it was worth this amount of trouble.
Anyways, she already came here and waited a considerable amount of time.
She wasn't anxious about her admission. On the contrary, she felt that even if there was no school available here, at most, she would go outside the country for her education.
Seeing that she was about to leave, the reception sneered and rolled her eyes in disdain.
"You are looking for a man that you can use your body to entice and still put up such an arrogant attitude?"
Although she meant it to be a whisper, Manager Yan and Rong Yue heard her very clearly.
Rong Yue stopped in her tracks.
"Would you mind repeating what you just said now?" Even without looking at her screen, her fingers moved accurately behind her back to turn on the voice recorder.
The receptionist was also fearless and puffed her chest out.
"What? Do you want to beat me up for saying the truth?"
"You clearly came here to entice rich men so you can sell your body, but unlike others, you didn't even put any effort for your appearance. Now that you are being chased out, you still act so arrogantly??"
Rong Yue's eyes narrowed. At first, she didn't mind leaving peacefully, after all, she had waited here for a while and even sent Qin Yichen another message.
But seeing how the girl talked, she couldn't help but want to teach her a lesson.
"I hope you have this same confidence when accepting your punishment."
The receptionist didn't take her words seriously and even rolled her eyes.
"What punishment? As long as you leave and don't become a nuisance here, that's more than enough!"
Manager Yan also turned to Rong Yue clearly about to add some words. It was at this moment that Feng Yan decided to join in the fun.
"Rong Yue, what are you doing here?" Feng Yan said in a sickly sweet voice.
Madame Feng also followed over.
Since they had some free time, it was not a big deal to watch some drama.
"Miss Feng," Rong Yue greeted casually like she was only managing to acknowledge her existence.
Manager Yan's frowned as he saw her dismissive attitude towards their honored guests.
"Young girl, having good looks is not enough for you to act recklessly," he cautioned with a self righteous look on his face.
Feng Yan gloated in her heart but her face showed a gentle and amiable smile.
"Manager Yan, you don't have to say things like that. Rong Yue is someone I know and have worked with,"
Manager Yan also smiled, "You are indeed a young Miss of a rich family, your courtesy and manners is really unlike what we see these days,"
Seeing the drama unfolding in front of her, Rong Yue brought her phone forward and started to check for something within the Fox Alliance's database.
As their major force was networking, having the original and valid contact of every important person was a necessity.
After finding Minister Zhang's contact, she copied the number and dialed it.
She remembered that they had exchanged numbers the first time they met, however, she hadn't saved his number and couldn't find it before, she had also gotten carried away with what she was doing and didn't notice time pass until the receptionist came.
While she was doing that, Manager Yan gave the receptionist a signal to call the security over.
It would be better to have them take her away directly!
On the other hand, just as the call to Minister Zhang connected, rushed footsteps resounded in the large and empty lobby.
"Miss Rong!"
