Lin Meizhen hurriedly smiled apologetically.

Yu Xiaolong was not having it, unconvinced he said, "Second Aunt, it was clearly you who squeezed my mom, and also, my mom hasn't even complained about her expensive clothes!"

"Hey, Little Dragon, is that any way to talk to your elders? You have no manners," Second Aunt retorted with a sneer.

"That's right!" Yu Lisha was extremely dissatisfied with Yu Xiaolong shouting and hollering and said disdainfully, "Lower your voice, otherwise, people will think you're uncultured, just like someone from the countryside!"

"I'm from the countryside, aren't you too?" Yu Xiaolong said.

"You!"

Yu Lisha's face turned red with anger.

There were so many people here, and she didn't want to argue with him, it would seem unrefined.

The oldest son of the second uncle's family said to Little Dragon, "I really don't know where you get the nerve, talking to Sister Lisa like that. If it weren't for Sister Lisa, do you think you could have ridden in Mr. Gu's car, let alone come here for the New Year's Eve dinner?"

"Just tone it down, will you!"

Even the second cousin joined in with the disdain.

At first, they were surprised how Lin Meizhen's family arrived by car, but after Mr. Gu greeted Yu Lisha, they realized that he must have brought them along for Yu Lisha's sake.

Yu Xiaolong still disagreed.

But he was pulled back by Lin Meizhen, lest he make a scene in front of everyone.

Yu Lisha and the others looked at them with disdain and continued to move further inside.

They arrived at the previously reserved spot.

The oldest uncle called everyone to be seated.

Qin Feng glanced around and saw that their seats were in the worst location, right next to the aisle where servers with food were constantly walking by, risking spills, and he asked, "Why didn't we reserve a private room?"

Upon saying this.

The entire families of the oldest uncle and the second uncle looked at him with disdain.

The oldest uncle's face grew even more displeased.

"I'm telling you, Xiao Lian, this is your boyfriend, right? He really has no clue," said the second uncle's son.

"It's not that he has no clue; in my opinion, he lacks experience," said the second cousin to Qin Feng, "You might not be familiar with this hotel. Emperor Hotel is one of the most luxurious hotels in Lishan City. On regular days, there are already so many patrons, not to mention New Year's Eve dinner. Do you know how difficult it is to even reserve a table for New Year's Eve in the main hall? You haven't experienced this level of dining at all. It was only thanks to the oldest uncle's wide connections that he managed to book one table."

"..." This is part of a series from My Virtual Library Empire (*).

Qin Feng, embarrassed, said, "Is it really that difficult?"

The people bestowed another look of disdain upon him.

The oldest uncle and others stopped paying attention to Qin Feng, this inexperienced person.

"Waitress!"

The oldest uncle called the waitress over, asking her to serve the preset New Year's Eve dinner.

The waitress checked her notebook and asked, "Are you Mr. Zhang?"

"What Mr. Zhang, I am a Yu!" said the oldest uncle.

"Sorry, Mr. Yu, this table was reserved by Mr. Zhang," the waitress explained.

Upon hearing this, the oldest uncle hurriedly said, "Impossible! I just made the reservation with your Manager Gao two days ago, and even paid a thousand yuan deposit!"

The waitress checked again and said, "One moment, please."

She went to contact the manager.

In a short while.

Manager Gao came over, and upon seeing Yu Chunhai, he immediately put on an apologetic face, went forward to shake hands, and said, "I'm really sorry, Boss Yu, look at my memory. When you made the reservation the day before yesterday, I had already booked this table out, I just forgot. You see how busy I've been, I wanted to inform you, but it slipped my mind with all the busyness, sorry, truly sorry..."

While saying this.

But the oldest uncle and the others could hardly see any "apology" from Manager Gao.

The oldest uncle's face turned red with embarrassment.

Although he was a cement factory owner, much wealthier than Manager Gao, Emperor Hotel was owned by Lord Dog, and he didn't dare to mess around. He could only grumble unhappily, "Manager Gao, look, we have brought so many people here, you can't just kick us out!"

"Really sorry," Manager Gao said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "How about this, when someone is finished, I'll call you first?"

"..."

The oldest uncle and the others looked at each other.

Waiting for others to finish before their turn, this was a clear insult!

"Or, you can talk to Director Zhang yourself, perhaps you can take a seat?" Manager Gao proposed with a smile.

As soon as the oldest uncle heard this, a shiver went through him, and he asked, "Which Director Zhang?"

"Which do you think, there's only one Director Zhang in Lishan City."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the oldest uncle's face changed immediately and he said, "Okay, okay, then we'll leave…"

Aunt and the others were very confused and also felt uncomfortable.

It was not easy to come to Emperor Hotel for the New Year's Eve dinner, but to end up in this situation, they were reluctant to leave.

The oldest uncle frustratedly called out, "Let's go quickly! This table is reserved by Director Zhang. If we try to compete with Director Zhang, we'll be in trouble!"

Upon seeing the situation.

Everyone reluctantly stood up and followed him outside.

Qin Feng saw that Yu Xiaolong was looking around at the gourmet food on other tables while walking out, and asked, "Do you want to eat here?"

"Of course," Yu Xiaolong replied.

"Well, then wait for me outside," Qin Feng said.

Following that.

He took out his phone and made a call to Lord Dog...

Outside the hall.

The oldest uncle was dejectedly smoking a cigarette.

He wanted to bring everyone to enjoy themselves, but their seats were taken, and it was quite embarrassing.

The others also felt downhearted.

Having a chance to have New Year's Eve dinner at the Emperor Hotel would have been something to brag about, but instead, it fizzled out.

"How about…"

Second Aunt looked at Yu Lisha and said, "Shasha, try asking Mr. Gu for a favor? Surely Mr. Gu's influence should be enough!"

"This…"

Yu Lisha was a bit troubled.

She was very clear in her mind that her relationship with Mr. Gu wasn't as close as they imagined.

Even whether it would work out in the end was uncertain.

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate…"

She said.

The oldest uncle caught on to something and also said, "Let's forget about it! To trouble Mr. Gu over such a trivial matter would also make Mr. Gu look down on us."

"Sigh, then we'll have to change locations."

Everyone else said.

Just as they were about to leave and find another place.

Lin Meizhen suddenly noticed that Qin Feng was missing and looked around hastily, "Where's Xiao Fengren?"

"I bet, it's his first time coming to such a luxurious hotel, he must have been lured by the aroma and can't make himself leave!" the cousin mocked on the side.

Yu Xiaolong immediately defended, "Nonsense, my brother-in-law is not like that; he's gone to talk to the manager, planning to rebook a table here!"

"Rebook a table?"

When the oldest uncle and the others heard this, they couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Manager Gao wouldn't even give me face, how could he manage to book one?"

"See that car up ahead? If he can get us a table, I'll eat that car," the cousin joked as well.

"Xiao Lian, your boyfriend is such a joker, where did you find such a gem? Hahaha..."

The others also joined in the laughter.

Yu Xiaolong wanted to retort but was held back by Xiao Lian.

At this moment.

Qin Feng came out from the entrance and said to everyone, "I've rebooked a table, let's all go back in!"
