241: Chapter 241 Unreasonable Argument

Director Lian curled her lips and said, "What's the point of sending a car? You can just follow ours, right?"

After speaking, she arrogantly led her husband toward their vehicle.

Five minutes later.

Looking at the mercedes-benz not far ahead, Liu Hui couldn't help but turn to Shen Yan, who was in the driver's seat, and ask, "Didn't you promise to take me on a date today? Why did you agree to their invitation?"

Shen Yan replied while driving, "Originally, I thought this was your hospital's business, and your private matter, so it wasn't convenient for me to interfere. But seeing her constantly use my situation to suppress you, I felt annoyed."

Xiao Ting chimed in appropriately from the back seat.

"I think Brother-in-law just wanted to find an opportunity to stand up for you!"

Hearing this, Liu Hui couldn't help but laugh.

"What's there to stand up for?"

"Compared to standing up for that, I'd rather have a date with you alone today."

Xiao Ting sat in the back, rubbing her hands.

"Oh my, I can't take it anymore. If I had known, I wouldn't have come with you guys. Just eating dog food is enough to fill me up..."

Liu Hui called out "Xiao Ting" shyly.

But Xiao Ting had no intention of stopping her teasing of Liu Hui.

"I mean it. When you two are together, there's an inexplicable glow, the glow of a young couple!"

Liu Hui really couldn't stand it. She flipped over from the passenger seat and crawled toward the back, trying to cover Xiao Ting's mouth as she crawled.

Amidst their playful banter, the car quickly stopped at the entrance of a high-end restaurant.

Upon arriving at the entrance, the two immediately resumed serious expressions.

"I bet they're going to start showing off again soon."

Xiao Ting muttered softly before getting out of the car.

The five of them soon met up.

They entered the restaurant together, and a Waitress quickly came forward to greet them.

"Hello, how many people are there in total?"

When she heard the question, Director Lian replied impatiently, "Can't you count for yourself?!"

The Waitress was startled by her, then quickly bent down and replied apologetically, "I apologize, Madam. It was my mistake. Please follow me, all five of you."

Saying that, the Waitress led them to a window seat.

Since it was still afternoon and not yet dining time, there weren't many people in the restaurant; besides them, there was only one family of three eating.

"Your seats aren't very good. Do you have any private rooms? I want a private room!"

The Waitress looked down at the tablet in her hand while replying to Director Lian, "I'm sorry, our private rooms are not yet open for business hours."

Director Lian looked very displeased.

"Aren't you open for business? Why aren't the private rooms open? I don't care, prepare a private room for me immediately!"

The Waitress looked apologetic.

"I truly apologize, but this is the restaurant's regulation."

Director Lian glared, shouting directly at the Waitress, "What is your name? What is your employee ID? Get your manager over here, I want to file a complaint against you!"

The Waitress did not defend herself, merely sighed heavily and said, "Alright, I will go find the manager for you now."

After saying that, she turned and ran to find the manager.

Soon, a relatively muscular man about 1.8 meters tall hurried toward them.

"Esteemed sirs and madams, is there something about our Waitress's service that was unsatisfactory?"

Director Lian, with a fierce look, said to the manager in front of her, "She won't let us use a private room! I want to complain about her!"

As soon as these words came out, the manager's expression immediately changed.

He slightly bent down and replied to Director Lian, "I sincerely apologize, Madam. Our private rooms cannot be opened casually before their designated operating hours."

Hearing this, Director Lian became even angrier.

"Aren't your private rooms made for guests to use? Why won't you let us go?!"

Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, Shen Yan could only step in to speak.

"Actually, this window seat is quite nice too. You can enjoy the view while eating."

Before his words had even settled, Director Lian glared fiercely at him.

"As expected of a country bumpkin who has never seen the world! How can a table in the main hall compare to a private room!"

Just as Director Lian was about to continue scolding Shen Yan, the manager suddenly asked him, "May I ask if you are Mr. Shen, CEO Shen?"

Shen Yan paused, then nodded at the manager.

"I am."

The next second, the manager broke into a warm, spring-like smile.

"Oh my, it's my fault. I didn't recognize CEO Shen in time. You wanted a private room just now, right? I'll have the Waitress prepare one immediately!"

With that, he trotted over to the Waitress who had just been scolded and said, "Hurry up! Go prepare a private room for CEO Shen!"

The manager's drastic change in attitude left everyone stunned.

It wasn't until the Waitress was about to usher all of them into the private room that Director Lian barely managed to process what had just happened.

She frowned, turned to Shen Yan, who was still deep in thought behind her, and asked, "Do you know the manager of this place?"

Shen Yan honestly shook his head.

He had only been to this restaurant once, and that was with Lü Yan; he had never interacted with the manager.

Just as he was wondering why the manager recognized him, Director Lian let out a huge sigh of relief.

She thought, how could someone who couldn't even afford a car have enough pull to make the manager specially open a private room for them?

It must be that the manager felt they were too troublesome to provoke, so he specifically opened the room for them!

Thinking this, she held her head high and entered the private room.

Whether it was coincidence or intentional, the private room they entered this time was the same one with the 'Sinking Fish and Falling Swans' decor.

The decoration and arrangement inside the room were exactly the same as when they had entered last time.

The only minor difference was that the carp in the lotus pond had been replaced with koi.

Seeing Shen Yan constantly looking at the koi in the lotus pond, Director Lian let out a light laugh and said to Shen Yan in a condescending tone, "You haven't been to such a high-class place before, have you?"

"Let me tell you, today you are only here because my husband and I are doing you a favor. If it weren't for us, you wouldn't even be able to step foot in this place!"

Liu Hui: "..."

Xiao Ting: "..."

Shen Yan: "..."

With such an arrogant tone, anyone who didn't know better would think this restaurant was owned by her family.

After silently grumbling for a while, Shen Yan walked away from the lotus pond and said to them, "I'm going to the restroom. You guys order first."

With that, he directly opened the private room door and headed to the main hall.

When he reached the main hall, the manager was on the phone with someone.

As he walked over, he heard the manager saying, "Don't worry, Boss. I will definitely take good care of CEO Shen. Okay, okay, no problem..."
