Chapter 33 Zhao Menghua? What a coincidence!
Black Prince Hotel.

Only after hearing the "beep" sound from the other end of the phone did Lily put down the receiver, walk through the dark employee passage, and go straight to an elevator.

She took out a black magnetic card from her pocket and swiped it lightly on the gate. With a "beep", the metal door opened fiercely.

The elevator is not big, but it looks very empty because there are no floor buttons in the elevator. This elevator was originally designed for internal use only and only stops on the top floor of the Black Prince Hotel.

Lily entered the elevator and a brief feeling of weightlessness came over her from all directions.

There was another "beep" sound, and as the elevator door opened, the first thing that came into view was an extremely large living room. A projection screen was hung in the center of the living room, playing the Korean drama "Stairway to Heaven" which was released only last year.

The curtain was facing a set of Minotti fabric sofas. A woman sat sideways on the sofa with her long hair tied up, watching the movie "Stairway to Heaven" playing on the curtain and blowing her nose.

A pair of slender legs extended from under the nightgown, swaying and gracefully, and the two jade feet painted with blue nail polish rubbed against each other like two restless little white fish.

“Wuwuwu…Shengjun…Wuwuwu…Jingshu…”

Many employees of the Black Prince Hotel knew about the existence of the 29th floor. They knew it was the residence of the chairman of the hotel, but no one had ever actually seen it. This was because only the boss himself and his cronies had the authority to use the elevator that went directly to the 29th floor.

But if they could see the decoration of the 29th floor with their own eyes, they would be shocked. Because the 29th floor... was actually opened up to form a huge flat.

"Manager, I'm sorry to bother you." Lily stopped several meters away from the woman and bowed.

"Is there anything wrong?" The woman crumpled up the tissue she had used to blow her nose into a ball and threw it into the trash can beside her, asking in a crying voice.

"I just received a call from Lu Mingfei, saying that he wanted to book a table at Judequan."

"Then book it for him." The woman said without turning her head. "Use my phone to call. It must have fallen in the bathroom. Go and look for it. You don't need to book it in the name of the Black Prince Hotel. Just book it in my name."

"Okay." Lily nodded and was about to walk towards the bathroom, but she couldn't help but turn back and ask, "Excuse me, Manager... I'm still curious about the background of that little guy named Lu Mingfei. Why do you take such good care of him?"

"The reason why I agreed to Mai's recommendation and made you my secretary is not because of your skills. The most important reason is because Mai said that you Togakushi ninjas are very tight-lipped and never ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

Although the woman's voice still had a tearful tone, her tone was as cold as ice, causing Lily to shudder subconsciously. She bowed her head and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, I was rude."

"I hope you can understand that I have no problem with you." The woman's voice suddenly softened, and she continued, "It's just that some things are better not known than known."

"……I see."

"By the way, when you get your phone, go to the kitchen cabinet and bring me a few bags of potato chips."

……

After hanging up the phone, Lu Mingfei returned the phone to Liu Miaomiao and became very excited.

He knew that the Little Devil was always reliable, so he said he would make a phone call himself and there was a high chance that the boss of the Black Prince Group would agree to help him make a reservation.

"Who did you call just now?" Liu Miaomiao asked. She had just heard Lu Mingfei talking about the reservation at Judequan on the phone.

"A... friend of mine. She's very familiar with the owner of Judequan. I asked her to try to reserve a table for us."

"Friend?" Zhao Menghua came over and patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, sighing, "It's not that I'm trying to discourage you, but I'm afraid your friend is of no use.

This is the imperial capital, a place where a brick falling can knock down a billionaire. But in such a place, there are only a few people who can make Judequan give face.

My dad and the boss of Judequan are old acquaintances, so I had to book a table in advance. Listen to me, let's share a table. Don't worry, I will pay for the three of you."

“No need.” Lu Mingfei calmly took Zhao Menghua’s hand off his shoulder. “I think my friend should be quite reliable.”

"Okay. Then you just wait here for news from your friend." Zhao Menghua turned around, stretched out his hand and shouted, "Let's go in first." The classmates around him followed suit and surrounded Zhao Menghua into Judequan, leaving Lu Mingfei and others to continue waiting there.

Qiao Yiran patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder: "Is your friend really reliable?"

Lu Mingfei shrugged, "We'll know in a while. We've been waiting for so long anyway."

In fact, Lu Mingfei trusted Lu Mingze very much, but he was unsure about the owner of this Black Prince Hotel and didn't know where this person came from.

Although the other party has agreed, what if he/she is not capable enough?

You have to pretend to be good in front of the girl. If you fail to complete it, it will be a tragedy.

Fortunately, not long after, just a few minutes later, Lu Mingfei saw a tall man hurriedly coming down the stairs, rubbing his hands and looking around.
The man looked around the crowd for a while, then his eyes locked onto Lu Mingfei, and he trotted over.

"Hello, are you Mr. Lu Mingfei?" The manager bowed and smiled apologetically. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, but he bent so much that he was shorter than Lu Mingfei.

"It's me." Lu Mingfei scratched his head. "Straighten your back first when you speak. I'm not used to you speaking like this."

Lu Mingfei couldn't stand seeing others being so humble. They all came out to work to make a living. It's not easy for anyone. Why be so timid?

It's the 21st century now, why are we still using the old ways of the serfdom era?
“Okay, okay.” The other person straightened up obediently and instantly became half a head taller than Lu Mingfei.

"Let me introduce myself first. My last name is Wang, and I'm the manager of the main branch of Judequan. I just received a call from Miss Su, saying that there is a young master named Lu Mingfei who wants to reserve a seat at the entrance of Judequan, so I rushed out to find you."

Miss Su? Lu Mingfei wondered, was it the owner of the Black Prince Hotel whose surname was Su, or was it Lily's surname?

"It's like this. Although Miss Su asked us to clear a private room for you, there are too many people here recently and our private room is full. We can't vacate it. We can only clear a table for you in the hall. Is that okay with you?
"Okay, okay, the hall is enough." Lu Mingfei said, but then asked with some concern: "But if I do this... am I cutting in line with others?"

The manager was stunned. He had never expected Lu Mingfei to care about this, but he immediately explained:

"Don't worry, that table is added for you. It was originally a big stand. If you didn't come, this table would not have been added."

"That's good, that's good." Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Liu Miaomiao and the others, "Then shall we go in?"

……

Zhao Menghua couldn't eat any more of the roast duck before it was served.

He originally booked a seat near the Judequan Grand Stand. From his seat, he could take in the scenery of Qianmen Street and the 180 alleys in Zhushikou.

But just as they sat down, ordered their food, and were about to admire the vast scenery of the old imperial capital outside the stands, several staff members suddenly carried a reunion table and placed it next to the stands.

Then ten pear wood carved chairs were arranged in a circle with the main and secondary seats, like ten screens, completely blocking Zhao Menghua's field of vision.

Zhao Menghua's face turned pale and he was extremely angry.

What is this like? It's like you spent a lot of money to buy a river view apartment by the Huangpu River.

But when you moved in, you found out that the developer had built another building directly opposite your balcony, blocking your beautiful river view.

Zhao Menghua was about to call the waiters to ask them what this meant when he saw Lu Mingfei coming from behind him and sitting down at the table that had taken his view seat.

What’s even more infuriating is that when Lu Mingfei saw him sitting next to him, he greeted him in surprise.

"Hey, Zhao Menghua? What a coincidence!"
