Chapter 48: Luo Da Shao was treated as a poor man
When they arrived at the door of the Yunshui Xiangge private room on the third floor, Luolin suddenly said: "Lanlan, you go in first, I'll go to the restroom and come back soon." After that, he had already turned around and left.
Luo Lin went downstairs and didn't go to the restroom, but instead came directly to the front desk. He said to the tall, cheongsam-clad female service staff: "Is your lobby manager in? Ask him to come see me for a moment, just say Luo Lin is looking for him with something to entrust."
The waitress in the cheongsam dress had a good impression of Luo Lin's handsome face, but when she heard his words, she couldn't help but laugh. She was new and didn't know that Luo Lin was the young master of the Luo family. Working at the Haijin Hotel every day, just from tips alone, she could earn several thousand yuan a month. Unconsciously, she had developed the habit of looking down on others, and since Luo Lin was dressed very plainly today, she didn't take him seriously.
At this moment, the little guy opened his mouth and wanted to see the general manager of the restaurant. The cheongsam-clad woman found it amusing in her heart, as she had seen many so-called "general managers" before. When ordering food, she thought about finding the general manager to chat for a bit and create an atmosphere, just to get some discounts. However, the general manager was not a fool, and if every acquaintance wanted to find him for discounts, how many would he have to deal with? So, he specifically instructed the service staff at the Haijin Restaurant that except for high-level figures from the Luo Corporation who came to see him, everyone else was not to be seen. As for those officials, they wouldn't look for a general manager to get some discounts; no matter how much money it was, after eating, they would just pay and then reimburse their unit.
For those who refuse to pay, the waiters are familiar with it. However, Loring, a little guy, actually claimed that he wanted to see the manager of the lobby. The cheongsam beauty smiled and said: "Little handsome, sorry, our lobby manager is out on business and may not be able to come to see you."
Lorraine yawned: "Going out on business? Leaving at will during working hours, aren't you afraid of being blamed by your superiors?"
As soon as Luo Lin said this, the surrounding waiters burst out laughing and covered their mouths, thinking that this little guy was really good at pretending to be a big shot, speaking in an official tone.
Normally, Lorraine wouldn't have minded the gaze of these waitresses, but now he was in a hurry to get back and didn't have time to bother with these haughty gold-digging waitresses. He promptly pulled out his phone and dialed the number of the Grand Hall Manager of Haijin Hotel.
Soon, a chuckling voice came from that side: "Hey, Young Master Luo, what are your orders?"
"I'm currently at the lobby of Haijin Hotel, I heard you went out on a business trip during work hours? Is it official or personal business? How long will you be back?"
"Oh! I'll be right there, I'll be right there!" The lobby manager hung up the phone in a hurry and rushed over.
Actually, the lobby manager didn't go anywhere and was hiding in his office flirting with the female waitresses. As soon as he heard Luo Lin's tone of voice, he knew that those new female waitresses at the front desk were incompetent and hadn't done their homework properly, and they even didn't recognize the young master of the Luo family. In less than half a minute, the slightly fat body of the lobby manager appeared in the front hall.
"Mr. Luo, you're so free today, personally coming to support us?" The manager of the hall smiled and welcomed him.
Those cheongsam-clad waitresses who were laughing and chatting just a moment ago suddenly froze, their eyes wide with surprise. What did the manager just call this young man? Luo...Luo Da Shao? It was only then that these gold-digging women remembered that the Haijin Restaurant was actually an enterprise under the Luo Group, and even the general manager addressed him respectfully as "Luo Da Shao". The young man in front of them could only be one person - the young master of the Luo Group!
Realizing this, the waitresses in their cheongsam dresses couldn't help but feel regretful. They weren't actually afraid of being fired, but rather regretted letting a great opportunity to get close to Young Master Luo slip away. For most men, having a successful career is always their goal, while for most women, finding a man with a successful career is their top priority, especially if he's a rich second-generation heir with a bright future ahead of him and looks handsome to boot.
The Lorraine in front of her, except for being a bit younger, fully meets the standards of these gold-diggers, and even far exceeds them.
They abandon their steady and decent jobs to work as waitresses here, isn't it all for the hope of one day meeting a rich man? In fact, they have long fantasized about the young master of the Luo Corporation visiting the Haijin Hotel, and if he gets drunk while eating, they might consider sleeping with him. Isn't there a saying that goes "I'd rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle"? This phrase is so domineering, who knows which genius came up with this theory, but it's definitely popular among some of the new generation's brainless gold-digging girls. And this young master Luo, he's actually such a handsome and elegant young man, it's unknown how many waitresses have secretly drooled over him.
"Mr. Luo, who was it that kept you waiting just now? Speak up, and I'll give her a good scolding!" The manager patted his own soft and plump chest.
Lorraine didn't have time to bother with him, and she waved her hand: "Forget it. I called you over mainly to give you a message. A friend of mine is having dinner in the Cloud Water Immortal Pavilion on the third floor. You should know how to take care of things without me telling you, right?"
"Oh! So it's this matter! Alright, alright, no problem, Mr. Luo, you can rest assured, I guarantee it'll be done properly!"
Lorraine nodded and turned to go upstairs.
Although Lorraine is young, his every move exudes a subtle yet unstoppable aura of dominance. The cheongsam-clad women can't help but reveal their infatuated expressions, thinking to themselves: "At such a young age, he's already so captivating to women... it's hopeless for the future..." No way, my Lorraine, sister can't take it anymore! Tonight, I must get drunk and open a room to have dinner delivered to you. I want to pounce on you and devour you~~~
The hall manager was about to arrange work, but suddenly frowned and looked at the row of cheongsam-clad waitresses in front of him, whose eyes had been stuck on the stairs for a long time. It seemed that he had caught a whiff of something fishy...
"Sorry, I just received a call and came late." Luolin pushed open the door of Yunshui Xian Pavilion and saw that there were about ten people sitting around the table, not counting herself and Lanlan. None of them were alone, and it was clear that half of them were brought along as friends of the opposite sex. Luolin thought to herself that she was lucky to have accompanied Lanlan today, otherwise, if Lanlan had come alone, it would have been very embarrassing.
"Ah, this is..." One of the girls with an ordinary appearance but a kind face stood up, "Lanlan, isn't this the opposite-sex friend you brought along? He's quite handsome."
Lorin was being praised by others, and Lanlan was also genuinely happy. She immediately stood up to introduce: "This is my friend, named Lorin. We're classmates in the same class. Lorin, this is the old classmate I mentioned to you who's having a birthday today." As she spoke, she pointed to the girl standing beside her.
Lorraine took a look at the girl and thought to herself, "Although she seems a bit sly at first glance, she's not a bad girl." She immediately walked up to her with a smile and said, "Hello, happy birthday."
"Alright, alright, stop nagging. You've waited for so long, your stomachs must be growling. Lanlan, this boyfriend of yours is really clueless. Not only did he not bring a gift on someone's birthday, but he also doesn't know to penalize himself with a drink for being late. Sigh, what can I say?" A stylish-looking young man with a pompadour hairstyle said with a smirk.
Although others called Lorraine her own boyfriend, Blue Lan couldn't help but feel unhappy at this time. This person's words were too unpleasant to hear.
Lanlan's friend who was celebrating her birthday, being quite considerate, hastily mediated: "Xiaohui, how can your boyfriend talk like that? He didn't arrive late for long, he just answered a phone call."
The girl known as Xiao Hui also knew that her boyfriend had gone a bit too far, so she immediately nudged Zhe's arm: "Zhe, say less, today is Li Min's birthday, everyone being happy is what matters most."
Yanhuatou A Zhe let out a cold snort and looked at Luolin and Lanlan with disdain, then fell silent.
Lorraine was still smiling on the surface, but in her heart, she found Ah Zhe's non-mainstream appearance at this age to be a bit ridiculous. People of his age usually judge by appearances, and today he was indeed dressed more plainly, not looking like any rich young master. Plus, Lanlan's usual simple attire made it natural for the punk with the Nike suit and spiky hair to mistake him for an ordinary poor kid from a normal family.
Looking around at the other people present, although they don't appear to be from wealthy families or rich young masters and ladies, they should also be from relatively well-off families or even have some capital. Everyone is wearing Levi's, Etonic, and on their feet are Adidas, Nike, or Camel brand shoes and boots, and on their hands are Omega watches. Although they may not be top international brands, in a country like Huaxia with a large wealth gap, this is already enough to show off one's capital. It's no wonder that Ah Zhe looked down on Luo Lin, the white T-shirt he was wearing was brought back by his mother from Western Europe, it's a local brand, expensive and limited edition, enough to buy ten sets of clothes like what Ah Zhe is currently wearing, the logo on the chest side, nobody in the room recognizes it, probably thinking it's just some cheap street stall goods that cost 10 yuan.
In a slightly awkward atmosphere, Loring smiled generously and walked forward with an unused cup, filled it with wine, and humbly said: "I'm late today, I really made everyone wait for a long time. I understand the rules of being late, so this cup is my self-punishment. Also, happy birthday to you again, your name is Li Min, right? It's a nice name, people like their names, one look and it's clear that you're a talented young woman, I don't know how to say auspicious words, just simple words: wishing you success in everything you do, may all your wishes come true. Cheers!" With that, Loring raised his neck and drank the cup of wine in one gulp.
Luo Lin's words and actions won over the good feelings of most people present, including Li Min, Lan's friend, who all had friendly smiles on their faces as they looked at this big boy who was a bit rustic but handsome. After Luo Lin downed a cup of wine, everyone applauded in unison, except for Yan Hua Tuo A Zhe, who snorted coldly and muttered under his breath: "Hmph, poor kid, pretending to be a big shot, not afraid of being laughed at!"
