Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 951: Chapter 926: I’m Willful Because I’m Rich

Ye Chen said he has a solution, but Su Wanyi was a bit incredulous.

The waitress just mentioned that all the reservations for today are full, and if we want to book, we have to change the date.

”Trust me, it’s no problem. Hand me the phone,” Ye Chen said with a smile.

”No problem?” Su Wanyi asked hesitantly.

Not just today, even tomorrow is impossible, yet Ye Chen still said there’s no problem.

Su Wanyi handed him the phone, curious to see what method Ye Chen would use.

Since getting to know Ye Chen, he’s given her quite a few surprises, so if he says it’s no problem, he must be able to manage it.

However, Su Wanyi still looked at him with curious eyes.

Ye Chen took the phone and asked, ”Is it true that all reservations are fully booked today?”

”Yes sir, I’ve already checked for you just now, everything is full for the next half month,” the waitress responded politely.

Ye Chen had thought it was just a newly opened small restaurant; is it really so hard to book?

Ye Chen understood that Lijing Pavilion had this policy purely as a marketing strategy.

As the saying goes, rare items are precious; the harder it is to obtain something, the more people want it.

But after hearing what the waitress said, he realized this restaurant must have a reason for its popularity; the prices are high, yet people are willing to wait such a long time just to dine here.

Originally, Ye Chen thought it’s just a meal, wherever you eat should be the same, why insist on choosing this place?

But listening to the waitress has piqued his curiosity, so today he’s not only fulfilling Su Wanyi’s wishes but also his own curiosity to eat at Lijing Pavilion.

”Is that so? What a pity. Your restaurant is missing out on a million-dollar meal,” Ye Chen said regretfully.

”Well, then... should I ask the owner?” the waitress hurriedly replied.

At Lijing Pavilion, a meal costs at least tens of thousands; although wealthy individuals dine here, spending hundreds of thousands is already impressive, yet this gentleman says he wants to spend a million.

After all, this isn’t a small sum, and she can’t make the decision; if refused and the boss finds out, she might get blamed.

And hearing Ye Chen’s tone, it seems a million-dollar meal is quite ordinary. The waitress couldn’t help but gasp.

”Alright, you go ahead and ask.”

The waitress hurriedly handed the phone to the owner, saying, ”Mr. Rosen, there’s a guest who wants to speak with you on the phone.”

Rosen waved his hand, a bit impatiently, ”I hate being disturbed when I’m researching recipes; reservation guests can be handled by you.”

”But this guest is special; he wants to book a table for today,” the waitress said.

”Isn’t today already fully booked?” Rosen frowned.

”Yes, but he’s saying he wants to spend a million on a meal,” the waitress continued.

Even as she spoke, she felt tense.

The ”hunger marketing” strategy of Lijing Pavilion earns about a million a month.

But this gentleman on the phone wants to spend a million on a meal.

Rosen’s heart stirred upon hearing this; such a meal equals his monthly profit.

While the waitress was speaking with Ye Chen, Su Wanyi was looking at Ye Chen incredulously.

”Ye Chen, is your solution really just to throw money at it?”

Though Su Wanyi runs a company and is quite wealthy, she never spends money frivolously.

Starting a business was tough, teaching her the difficulty of earning money.

But now Ye Chen wants to spend a million just for a meal, which Su Wanyi finds hard to understand and accept.

”Yes, this money is well spent to fulfill your desire,” Ye Chen said indulgently, stroking Su Wanyi’s hair.

”But Ye Chen, I still think it’s a bit wasteful. Why don’t we eat somewhere else?” Su Wanyi suggested.

”No need, we’ll eat there. Ye Chen feels the million-dollar temptation is strong enough that the boss will surely agree to let us dine,” Ye Chen replied.

Actually, Rosen was initially tempted when he heard about the million-dollar offer, but on second thought, he couldn’t break his rules for one million.

If word got out, his previous efforts would be wasted, making people think anyone with money can dine at Lijing Pavilion.

This million is only a small profit; he wants longevity in business.

Rosen knows the harder the reservation, the more people will want to come.

If news breaks that Lijing Pavilion rejected a million-dollar offer without breaking its rules, it would cast a mystique over his restaurant, attracting even more diners.

Thinking of this, Rosen felt his decision was absolutely right.

”Huaxia has a saying: ’You can’t catch the wolf without sacrificing the child.’

Although it’s painful to refuse the million, the potential future profits will be substantial.”

”Sir, what you’re doing is insulting my restaurant, and you’re insulting me personally. All the dishes here are made by me,” Rosen said sternly.

”Even for a million, I won’t cook for you, as I’m a person who sticks to principles,” Rosen declared.

Upon hearing the boss’s firm stance, even the waitress inwardly admired him; not even a million could sway him, which was truly impressive.

Ye Chen did not expect this restaurant owner to be so principled and unique.

Millions are not a small sum; ordinary people would tremble upon hearing it, yet the restaurant owner said something completely unexpected.

”Ye Chen, let’s forget about it and eat somewhere else,” Su Wanyi seized the opportunity to say.

She felt it was fortunate Ye Chen was rejected; if they really spent a million on a meal, she’d certainly be heartbroken.

”Wanyi, today we’re eating at Lijing Pavilion; your husband won’t let you down.”

She had overheard the restaurant owner refusing Ye Chen too, and if throwing money around didn’t work, what else could?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Su Wanyi’s mind, could Ye Chen be intending to...?

She stared at Ye Chen with clear, doe-like eyes full of disbelief.

Ye Chen looked at her and nodded, ”Wanyi, what do you think?”

Rosen may be principled, but facing money, will he truly uphold his principles? Ye Chen was a bit skeptical.

After all, no one can resist money’s temptation; in the face of wealth, many things change.

Ye Chen felt Rosen’s refusal was temporary, believing that when he unleashes his ultimate move, even the most principled person will yield.

”Ye Chen, let’s just forget it; Modu has many renowned restaurants,” Su Wanyi said, tugging on Ye Chen’s arm.
