After the breakup, I joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

Chapter 239 You Pay for the Whole Event

In the lobby of Jianghuai Hotel, the hotel manager was ordering food, a nightmare he never wanted to recall in his life.

"We've made our selection. First, give me one portion of all the dishes on this menu!"

"Then I'll have squirrel mandarin fish, Dongpo pork, Bagongshan tofu, and three more servings of these..."

The hotel manager couldn't bear to interrupt Lu An's generosity any longer.

He first gently reminded Lu An whether he had ordered too much: "The portions of dishes in our restaurant are very rich."

Lu An waved his hand and said, "Of course the richer the better. Manager, you must know what kind of guests I am inviting today. Since the private room can't satisfy them, do we have to treat our guests badly in terms of dishes?"

Good man, love doesn’t require you to pay, right?

The hotel manager's cheeks twitched.

If he could, he really wanted to slap this greedy guy to death.

But he had no choice. After all, he was in the wrong first and was kicked out of the box. Now he had to find a way to make amends.

Moreover, he did know that the person Lu An invited today was not a simple person, otherwise he would have wanted to cheat and go back on his word.

However, as a restaurant manager, Lu An really couldn't accept his way of ordering dishes.

After much deliberation, the hotel manager decided to change his persuasion: "Of course, we must treat our distinguished guests well, and our Jianghuai Hotel will certainly support us fully."

"It's just that the dishes should be properly matched, not just stacked together. Only when the dishes are well matched can they highlight your status and make your meal more upscale!"

The hotel manager then brought a pile of dishes and told Lu An what a pile of dishes would look like. It was not only unsightly, but also not in line with Lu An's status as a cadre and would also make him lose face in front of the distinguished guests.

As expected of a hotel manager, his remarks were quite sophisticated.

An ordinary person would have been convinced by him at this time, but unfortunately he met Lu An, who was at a different level.

Lu An nodded in approval. Just when the manager thought his words had worked, he heard Lu An say, "Then serve some first. Save the rest for me and I'll order it next time."

???

The hotel manager was shocked at the time.

Good fellow, it’s ok that you just eat and take it, but what’s the point of saving this dish to order next time?

He has been working as a restaurant manager for so many years, and he has only heard of storing wine. When has he ever heard of storing food?

He had no choice but to continue to persuade Lu An that Jianghuai Hotel did not have the rule of storing food, and all orders must be eaten in the restaurant, and at most take-out meals could be provided.

Lu An looked up: "Manager, are you sure we can only finish eating in the restaurant?"

Lu An had a kind smile on his face, but in the eyes of the hotel manager he looked like a devil, which made him shudder.

The restaurant manager gritted his teeth and replied that it could only be eaten in the restaurant.

In fact, at this time the hotel manager already regretted getting involved in such a shitty thing, but since things had come to this point, there was no turning back.

Therefore, he took the risk. He didn't believe that this young cadre from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection would really risk his own future by wasting money in the Jianghuai Hotel.

Then Lu An slammed the table and said, "That's great. I, Lu An, will pay for all the food today!"

Lu An excitedly said to Mu Qinghong: "Sister Hong, you don't know, I see those rich people in TV dramas always pay for the whole place, I have always wanted to pretend to be this cool, today I finally have the chance!"

The hotel manager was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard this: What are you kidding? If you want to pretend, don't take our Jianghuai Hotel's money!

No!

The hotel manager angrily and unreasonably rejected Lu An’s reasonable request!

Then Lu An suddenly exploded: "Enough! This is not okay, and that is not okay. I think you are just deliberately making things difficult for us!"

"I came here because of the sign of Jianghuai Hotel, but now look at how you provide service?"

Mu Chenggang was also a man who was not afraid of trouble. He slammed the table and angrily scolded the hotel manager for being so arrogant.

Mu Qinghong didn't say anything, but stood up, held Lu An's hand, and stood firmly behind Lu An.

Lu An pointed at the hotel manager's nose and said, "Don't think I don't know what happened today. I'm just nagging you because I'm giving you face. If you can't do this or that, I'll leave now and you can figure out a way to get through on your own!"

After saying this harshly, Lu An took Mu Qinghong and turned to leave in a swift and decisive manner.

"Damn it! If it were my temper, I would have lost interest in serving you from the moment you kicked us out of the box!"

Pooh!

Nothing!

Mu Chenggang spat fiercely before following Lu An's footsteps.

The hotel manager was now anxious.

Because his task was only to make things difficult for Lu An and prevent him from using the box, not to really drive him away.

If Lu An really left, he wouldn't be able to report back.

And more importantly, if what happened today gets to the boss' ears, I, as the restaurant manager, will be in big trouble.

So the hotel manager had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow Lu An's footsteps, urging Lu An to stay and say that anything could be discussed.

"How do you think this will work? We don't have a rule of storing food, but I can make the decision to waive your bill five times. As long as it's not a large banquet with dozens or hundreds of people, I can help you waive the bill!"

Lu An raised the corner of his mouth and clapped his hands, saying, "I knew that the manager is a straightforward person. From now on, when we go to Jianghuai Hotel to eat out, we will rely on you, the manager, for ten times."

The hotel manager nodded subconsciously, but suddenly became alert: "Not five times..."

Lu An deliberately opened his mouth and said, "I, Mr. Lu, will pay for all the expenses..."

The hotel manager immediately gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay! Ten times!"

When the hotel manager agreed to this condition, his heart was bleeding, because the hotel would certainly not recognize this money, and he, as the manager, could only find a way to fill the hole himself.

But at this moment he did not have time to think so much, and hurriedly asked Lu An and the others to go back and sit down, and then said that he would definitely take care of the menu and arrange the combinations, so Lu An would not have to worry about it.

He was really afraid that if he delayed any longer, Lu An might do something weird again.

But he is just judging others by his own standards. Lu Anke is very focused on sustainable fishing and will not push things too far.

As for what dishes to pair with them, it's no problem to leave it to him. After all, he has experience. Compared to what the person he is meeting today is going to talk about, what to eat is really not important.

Just as the hotel manager left, a waiter led a few middle-aged men over.

Lu An recognized that the man dressed in gold and silver and looking very rich was Hu Chengsheng.

Then the two middle-aged men who were carefully serving him should be the leaders who were there to support him.

The ones following closely with their heads down should be the legendary runaway boss Shen Fengwen and the backstabbing manager Deng Weichen.

Today's main course is finally on the table...
