Chapter 144

Along the way.

Zhao Xiaogu introduced many of the Chinese Restaurant boathouse's features and the surrounding tourist attractions to Qin Mu and the other.

It looked like she had done her homework well.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance.

They happened to run into Huang Xiaoming and Li Haofei, who were returning.

"Sister Xiaogu, you've recruited customers!"

Li Haofei was immediately envious when she saw two people following behind Zhao Xiaogu.

She had failed directly in her first attempt.

She hadn't recruited a single customer.

"I was very lucky to run into these two gentlemen."

"Otherwise, I would have had to return disappointed."

Zhao Xiaogu said with a bitter smile.

"It's okay, having a start is already very good."

Li Haofei said, "Brother Xiaoming is still the best, he recruited four or five tables of customers; we still have a lot to learn."

"Brother Xiaoming, share your experience in soliciting customers with us."

Both of them looked at Huang Xiaoming.

Only to find that the latter was looking at the two guests with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Xiaogu was puzzled.

"This..."

Huang Xiaoming stared blankly at Zhao Xiaogu, then looked at Qin Mu and the other, just about to say something.

But he saw Chen Dao holding up a finger and making a gesture at his lips.

Understood!

Huang Xiaoming was a shrewd person.

Chen Dao's action, combined with Zhao Xiaogu's attitude.

He understood instantly!

Xiaogu hadn't recognized these two distinguished guests!

Especially that Little Brother Qin whom he had wanted to meet for a long time.

Tsk tsk!

Even more handsome than in the photos on Mengchen's phone!

"Um..."

"It's nothing."

"Let's take the two guests inside."

Seeing Xiaogu and the other looking at him increasingly strangely, Huang Xiaoming hurriedly straightened his expression.

"Two gentlemen, this way please!"

He walked in the very front, enthusiastically inviting Qin Mu and the other inside.

Zhao Xiaogu and Li Haofei were both puzzled.

Why is Brother Xiaoming so enthusiastic and polite!

However, they didn't think too much about it, assuming the store manager was setting an example for welcoming guests.

Chinese Restaurant boathouse.

It was indeed beautiful in environment and scenery.

Surrounded by the lake on three sides, dining here, one could fully feel the breeze gently rippling.

Not only that, below the restaurant was a water amusement park.

After eating and drinking one's fill, one could go and play.

It was undoubtedly a good attraction to spend half a day.

"Two gentlemen, how should I address you?"

If you're going to act, you have to do it completely; Huang Xiaoming asked with a smile.

"Surname Qin."

Qin Mu said softly.

"Just call me Old Chen."

Chen Dao said casually.

"You're older than me, I'd better call you Brother Chen."

Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Can I call you Old Chen?

Others might not know your identity, but do I not know?

A low-key big director in the country!

Calling you Old Chen isn't appropriate.

"Xiaogu, you take Mr. Qin and Brother Chen to sit over there first."

"I'm going to give instructions to the back."

After greeting them, he leaned over to Chen Dao's side and asked in a low voice, "Director Chen, didn't Director Zhang come with you?"

"He's behind, he'll be here in a moment."

Chen Dao replied.

Immediately after, Zhao Xiaogu led Qin Mu toward the open-air dining area.

At this time, there were only a few tables of guests inside.

There were still many seats available.

The two chose a seat by the side and sat down.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Chen."

"This is the restaurant's menu, you two can take a look first, and I can also recommend some specialty dishes to you."

She handed over a menu.

After Qin Mu took it and looked, he couldn't help but click his tongue.

The dishes were all home-style, but most of the prices were over a hundred yuan.

In other words, the per-person consumption was around two or three hundred.

It was indeed not cheap.

However, thinking about it, it felt normal; after all, it was a restaurant opened by celebrities, and the geographical location and equipment facilities were excellent.

Plus, with celebrities cooking and celebrity servers, these factors combined made it worth the price.

Chen Dao also glanced at it and said, "Wait a moment, we have another friend who hasn't arrived yet."

"Okay."

"Then just call me if you need anything."

After Zhao Xiaogu said this with a smile, she left silently.

"Director Chen, if you didn't go into acting, it would be a waste of talent."

After she left, Qin Mu joked with a smile.

It was the same last time.

In Manyuan Village, they ran into Huang Lei and the others, and then put on a show.

And they were acting again this time.

He was simply a drama queen!

"Hahaha, Little Brother Qin, I'm not acting; we were originally going to come here to eat."

Chen Dao laughed heartily.

Just as they were chatting, Huang Xiaoming walked over with joyful steps.

He first glanced around, and seeing that his colleagues weren't paying attention here, he stretched out his hands and said excitedly, "Little Brother Qin, I've been looking forward to this for a long time, today I finally get to meet you in person!"

Yes!

He had indeed been looking forward to it for a long time.

Ever since he watched the sisters' vlog, he had been quite curious about Qin Mu, who had such talent.

Later, whether it was the heated discussion on the internet or the praise from friends in the circle around him.

He was even more interested.

It was a pity that he only met him until now.

"Brother Xiaoming, hello."

Qin Mu smiled and politely shook his hand.

"Xiaoming!"

"You don't have me in your eyes anymore."

Beside them, Chen Dao said gloomily.

"How could that be!"

Huang Xiaoming was immediately embarrassed and said, "Director Chen, we're so familiar, I'm just excited to see Little Brother Qin in person, please forgive me."

"Fine."

"Then this meal..."

Chen Dao laughed.

"My treat!"

"Just order whatever you want to eat."

"However, I have a request."

Having said that, Huang Xiaoming paused and looked at Qin Mu.

"What is it?"

"Want Little Brother Qin to take a few photos for you?"

How could Chen Dao not know what he was thinking, he squinted and said.

"Yes."

"Little Brother Qin, could you please take a few photos for our restaurant later, just a few will do."

"I'll put them on the internet to attract some popularity."

Huang Xiaoming scratched his head and pleaded.

"Sure, no problem."

Qin Mu shrugged his shoulders and didn't refuse.

It was just taking a few photos, a matter of convenience.

"Then thank you so much!"

Huang Xiaoming thanked him excitedly.

After the three chatted for a while, the guests in the restaurant became more and more numerous, and he had to go arrange work, so he apologized and left.

After another while, a figure walked in.

He was wearing a mask and a hat, and holding a few bottles of high-end red wine in his hands.

It was none other than Zhang Yimou.

"Hello, may I ask..."

Zhao Xiaogu greeted him, and just as she said half a sentence, she covered her mouth in surprise.

Director Zhang is here!

She had worked with Zhang Yimou several times, so naturally, she recognized him at a glance.

"Xiaogu, hello."

"My friends should have arrived, right?"

Zhang Yimou greeted with a smile, poked his head to look inside, and immediately saw the two people on the side, saying, "Oh, they've already sat down, then I'll go over."

Zhao Xiaogu came back to her senses and looked in the direction of his gaze.

Immediately, she was stunned!
