A boss from Shanghai who's on good terms with General Manager Yan? Shen Guofu thought. So, does that mean the restaurant can expect an influx of high-end clients from Shanghai? This would be really beneficial for my son-in-law's establishment... He hurriedly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, General Manager Yan, for promoting my son-in-law's business. I'll cover all expenses tonight."
Yan Lin immediately waved her hand and said, "No need. Even though we are partners, inviting friends to dine is entirely personal. It wouldn't be right to let you pay, Shen. Besides, Lin Xu's culinary skills are indeed fantastic, and they're worth sharing with good friends."
She paused momentarily and then instructed her secretary, "Go downstairs and get a card charged up... put three million on it. Then, get seven more cards, each charged with one million. I left Beijing in a rush last time and got complaints from a few old friends. I'll charge these cards for them as an apology."
