Chapter 206: Grave Mistake
Everyone instinctively turned around and saw Minister Zhang and some other man walking over hurriedly.
Rong Yue stood out, dressed in all black, that made her white and clear skin shine even more. Also, she was quite tall and even stood well above Manager Yan, making it easy for them to spot her from afar.
"Yan Bo, I gave you the instruction to welcome Miss Rong Yue upstairs for over thirty minutes now; how are you handling your matters,"
The man that talked was the General Manager of The Imperial Restaurant. Not only was he well in age and experience, he had worked with several big organisations in the past.
To be hired by the Imperial Restaurant was one of the reasons why the owner of the Imperial Restaurant was respected. After all, handling a restaurant was different from managing a company or corporation.
Also, because of his identity, Manager Huo barely interfered with customers or the staff and managed things behind the scenes.
Instinctively, Manager Yan shook his head and replied, "They only just arrived now. I was just welcoming them," as he said this, he looked in the direction of Feng Yan and her mother.
It was only some seconds after he replied that he realised that something was wrong.
His expression was funny as he looked at Rong Yue and then at his boss.
"Boss, do you know this lady?" Even when asking, he still had a skeptical look on his face.
Manager Huo and Minister Zhang were smart people with a lot of experience—they understood what was happening at once.
Manager Huo cursed within his mind.
"I asked you to come down thirty minutes ago; Miss Rong has been waiting patiently for you. Why did you say she only just arrived?" Qin Yichen had called him as soon as he dropped her off that she was downstairs.
After passing the task to his direct subordinate, Manager Huo had long thought that Rong Yue would already be in the private room that Qin Yichen reserved.
He didn't expect that he would get another call about thirty minutes later!
Not only did he have to clean up this mess, his big boss was already angry!
Just thinking of the trouble made his expression go from bad to worse.
"If you can't even manage a simple task like this, you don't need to keep your job."
Just as he finished talking, the receptionist that had gone to bring the security arrived.
Seeing that more people had gathered over, she ran over.
"That's her over there. Quickly grab her and send her out before she annoys our esteemed guests,"
The receptionist made sure that her voice was loud. Like any normal human, she also wanted these esteemed people to notice her and see her in a good light.
Seeing Manager Huo, the two security guards rushed forward. However, one of them stopped as he saw that it was Rong Yue.
He had seen her earlier when Qin Yichen dropped her off.
The security was a car fanatic and would unintentionally notice every special kind of car that came into the restaurant.
Qin Yichen's car was one of such, and other than the value. He knew the vehicle that had dropped Rong Yue off belonged to a very special person.
Not to talk about the making and brand of the car. Just the plate number was more than enough.
So instead of getting into action, he greeted his two bosses first.
"Perhaps there's a misunderstanding…" Before he could finish, Manager Huo interrupted.
"Yes, there's indeed a big misunderstanding. Miss Rong, please forgive me for not handling things properly," Manager Huo gave her a sincere bow as he apologised.
Not just the receptionist but even Feng Yan and her mother had shocked looks on their faces and their mouths hanging open.
What was this situation?
Minister Zhang also joined in.
"Rong Yue, I had no idea that you were running late and even told the Deans that I gave you the wrong time,"
Even though they were all itching to meet her, he didn't want them to think she was shabby, and when he saw that she was running late, he made an excuse for her.
He had no idea that the whole time, she was waiting downstairs.
"I didn't have the room details as someone was supposed to come down. I didn't expect that while I was waiting, so many things would happen."
As she said that, her eyes went to the receptionist.
She had already decided to teach her a lesson. Even if these two hadn't come down, she would have still found a way to punish her!
Even if they were dumb, Assistant Manager Yan and the receptionist quickly understood that they had been mistaken.
Manager Yan had the worst expression on his face. He had been sent down to welcome her. Instead of doing what he was sent, he even wanted to chase her out!
Just thinking about it made his palm sweat, and he glared at Feng Yan and Madame Feng.
"These two, earlier, I welcomed you with such grandeur and even told you about Minister Zhang. Didn't you both know who you came here to see?"
Now that things had gone south, he didn't mind blaming these two.
Feng Yan's face alternated between red and white, and she tightly held the rope to her bag.
"You said the Deans were already upstairs and waiting," she had an aggrieved expression.
If it were a normal situation, Manager Yan wouldn't bear to scold a woman that was already looking wronged like this.
But this time, he was desperate to save his neck.
"Wasn't it the two of you that asked? There's only one room with Deans in the VIP section…."
"…who doesn't know that only VIP customers are welcomed by the restaurant?"
Before he could say anymore, Manager Huo interrupted, "You were the one that did a shabby thing with your work. There's no need to pull another customer into this."
"Madam, please let us know the name used for your reservation?"
Glad that they weren't being scolded anymore, Madame Feng let out a small sigh, "Feng Zhu,"
The receptionist rushed to her duty post to check for the reservation.
"I have found it," however, when she saw the booking status, the receptionist had a funny look on her face.
"This…"
