Protagonist:
Lu Feng
The woman named Wang Yan had neat short hair, a pretty face, and a striking figure.
Her small suit jacket set off her fair skin, and her demeanor was gentle yet capable.
To be a Manager at such a luxurious Fan Dian in Jingcheng, she definitely wasn't a simple woman.
An Liang shook her hand, his gaze sweeping over Wang Yan's exquisite face without lingering in the slightest.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Wang Yan was no different from looking at an ordinary person.
He showed no unusual expression just because the other party was beautiful, still maintaining a serious expression.
"Teacher An Liang, I'll take you to the Private Room. You go up first and have some tea; the dishes will be served shortly."
The smile on Wang Yan's face was very enthusiastic as she gestured toward the Fan Dian.
"Alright."
An Liang nodded and followed Wang Yan toward the Fan Dian.
At the Door of the Fan Dian, she called two others to lead An Liang inside, while she herself turned around to look at the Assistant Xiao Yue following behind.
Wang Yan's gaze fell on the folder in her hand, and she reached out proactively: "You are Mr. An Liang's Assistant Xiao Yue, right? Mr. An Liang being able to come today is all thanks to your introduction; let me help you carry the folder."
Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, quickly waving her hand, looking somewhat flattered on her face: "No need, no need, I can do it myself."
She felt somewhat surprised in her heart.
In the past, when following An Liang to taste dishes, the people arranged by the Fan Dian mostly only revolved around An Liang alone.
This time, even she, a small Assistant, was taken care of, which was the first time.
It seemed this Fan Dian attached great importance to An Liang's trip this time.
"Alright then, on behalf of Yun Jian Ge, I also welcome Miss Xiao Yue's arrival."
Wang Yan said to Xiao Yue with a smile, looking extremely sincere.
Xiao Yue smiled somewhat embarrassedly, then said: "Let's go in too, don't let Teacher An Liang wait."
"Rest assured, everything is prepared."
Wang Yan nodded with a smile, leading Xiao Yue into the Fan Dian, quickening her pace to catch up with An Liang's group ahead.
The corridor on the second floor was covered with a deep red carpet, making not a single Footstep sound when stepped on.
After going upstairs, Wang Yan quickly walked to the door of the Private Room, holding the doorknob and pushing it open a crack.
After confirming that the temperature and Fragrance inside the Private Room were both very suitable, she then pushed open the door of the Private Room.
"Mr. An Liang, please enter."
Wang Yan stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation, speaking in a gentle voice.
The lighting inside the Private Room was soft, making the whole room look bright without being glaring.
The tables and chairs in the room were wiped until they shone brightly, emitting a warm luster under the lights.
In the exact center of the Table sat an exquisite white porcelain vase, with a bunch of Fresh flowers inserted in it, and small water droplets still hung on the petals.
A faint floral fragrance permeated the Private Room, adding a touch of elegance to it.
The arrangement inside this Private Room had a unique flavor, looking quite tasteful.
An Liang's gaze swept around the Private Room once, without lingering for too long.
He walked straight to the main seat at the dining Table, pulled out a chair, and sat down directly.
"Mr. An Liang, the flowers in this Private Room were just transported from outside; we specifically chose varieties with not-so-strong Fragrance. If you are Dissatisfied with the Taste, we will go replace them immediately."
Wang Yan followed An Liang into the Private Room, carefully observing An Liang's expression.
Regarding An Liang's preferences, she had done her homework in advance, knowing that An Liang was very sensitive to Taste.
Last year, there was a Fan Dian where, because the incense scent in the Private Room was too Heavy, An Liang left in a hurry before the dishes were even fully served.
"No need, this is fine."
An Liang acted very casual, waving his hand as he spoke.
"Others all say Mr. An Liang is very picky, but I don't think so; you seem quite easygoing."
Wang Yan subtly flattered him, then handed over tonight's Cai Dan Shang.
"These are the dishes to be served later; take a look to see if anything needs adjusting, or if you have any dietary restrictions, I will go instruct the Kitchen."
An Liang reached out to take the Cai Dan Shang and casually flipped through a few pages.
The Cai Dan Shang was made very exquisitely; once opened, the dish pictures and text were rich, with simple introductions beside them.
The dishes were basically the same as the email Xiao Yue sent him this Afternoon.
It was just that the dish names above were still full of ancient style, which An Liang Disliked.
He skipped those flowery dish names and finally settled on a few dishes with simple names.
"One broccoli stewed beef, one steamed sea bass, and for Dessert, one Osmanthus sugar lotus root; don't serve anything else."
An Liang pointed at three dishes on the Cai Dan Shang, speaking with a serious expression.
The smile on Wang Yan's face froze for a moment.
She knew An Liang's habit of tasting dishes very well; presumably, he required tasting all the specialty dishes in the Fan Dian.
For this, before An Liang came to the Fan Dian, she had specially arranged for purchasers to re-purchase a batch of the Freshest Ingredients.
But today he actually only ordered three dishes, which completely exceeded her expectations.
She subconsciously wondered if somewhere they had failed to Entertain properly, making An Liang Dissatisfied.
But after carefully recalling everything, he confirmed that there were no oversights in any step.
"This... Mr. An Liang, wouldn't three dishes be a bit too few?"
Wang Yan asked softly, her tone carrying a hint of probing: "All the ingredients in the kitchen have been prepared in advance; everything can be served within ten minutes. Why don't we just follow the menu and bring you one portion of each?"
"No need, just these."
An Liang closed the menu, looked up at Wang Yan, his tone carrying a trace of persistence that brooked no refusal.
Seeing him say this, Wang Yan nodded and agreed.
Then, facing the waiter beside her, she instructed solemnly: "You go tell the back kitchen about the three dishes Mr. An Liang just ordered, tell them to make them well, absolutely no mistakes allowed, and bring them over immediately once done."
The waiter hurriedly nodded in agreement, turned around, and left with quick steps.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Wang Yan picked up the teapot and poured tea into the cups in front of An Liang and Xiao Yue.
"Mr. An Liang, Miss Xiao Yue, you two taste this tea; it was just transported from the production area last week."
An Liang picked up the teacup and took a light sip; the tea was authentic pre-rain Longjing Tea Tea Tea, and the quality was also top-grade.
Compared to what he usually drank, the texture had more layers, and the flavor was very clear and sweet.
He put down the teacup, nodded slightly, his tone more gentle than before: "This tea is good; Manager Wang looks like someone who understands tea."
"As long as you like it."
Wang Yan's eyes lit up, and she followed up: "If Mr. An Liang likes it, I still have a few cans in my office, you..."
Hearing this, An Liang's expression, which had just relaxed a bit, tensed up again.
Wang Yan reacted quickly; she remembered that what An Liang could least accept was others giving him gifts.
She immediately changed her words, smiling at An Liang: "I'm usually someone who really likes drinking tea, and I also hope to make friends with people who understand tea. If Mr. An Liang doesn't mind the disturbance, we can arrange to meet a few more times in the future when free; I'll invite you and Xiao Yue to my home to taste tea."
