[Rustic Charm by the Pond, Inviting You to Enjoy Together]

Viral influencer [Little Picky Eater] looked at the dark red invitation with gold foil in his hand, along with the golden writing on it, and repeatedly felt reluctant to part:

"Guys, after this meal, I’ll have spent a total of a hundred thousand in this restaurant!"

The admission fee for the All-Fish Feast ranged from ordinary access at 1999 to the highest at 19999. As soon as Boss Chang released the news, members like Little Picky Eater immediately responded.

The only dilemma was choosing which price range.

But, how should I put it?

He’s now a viral influencer with one million followers. He spent two years building up 300,000 followers, and after live-streaming at Changleju, he broke through a million in less than a year.

For this alone—

19999!

He has to check out what level this really is!

Though he’s not paying entirely himself. Being an influencer, you have connections.

sounds expensive, and it is, but the benefit is you can bring three guests.

He’s single and not from Shan City, so he found three other bloggers to split the cost.

This way, 5000 for a meal sounds...

Sounds still quite painful!

One million followers are not all the same; he’s not a dedicated product promoter, and he doesn’t get as many deals as some others. This expense is really heart-wrenching.

Thinking back to the days before Changleju opened, when individual set meals were 198, 288...

Sigh!

The prices have gone up. Now, a limited number of special-priced seats are sold online daily, and with his skills, he basically can’t grab any.

Regret not acting sooner!

He handed in the invitation to enter, and the receptionist at the door greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Lü hasn’t been here for a while. Are these your friends?"

"Yes." In fact, they were meeting for the first time, but Little Picky Eater was fearless.

Everyone was teaming up, so later they’d do the filming, eating, and wrap up in one go.

Seeing the equipment the others were carrying, the receptionist’s smile deepened:

"For clients like you who do live-streaming, we really appreciate the online popularity you bring us. However, live streaming inevitably involves privacy concerns, so would it be fine to arrange the other six seats at the ten-person table for customers who also need live broadcasting?"

This All-Fish Feast involved ten guests per table, and Changleju strictly controlled customer privacy. Previously, when he live-streamed in the hall, there were hanging blinds with a subtle, calming fragrance, also isolating the surrounding environment.

As long as you don’t deliberately extend your phone into someone else’s space, it basically wouldn’t be affected.

Now in a private room, it wouldn’t matter if he was live-streaming his meal in usual circumstances, but there were regulations for this banquet, and guests were informed beforehand.

Little Picky Eater nodded: "I know about the limitations on live streaming, we’re all aware, we can do it, just arrange something more secluded, otherwise, I’m afraid the noise will be too loud."

"Alright."

The receptionist smiled and picked up a headset.

The location of the private room was indeed very quiet.

The group set up their equipment, and before the dishes arrived, they wandered around the corridor.

Changleju was meticulously crafted and heavily invested in by Boss Chang. Despite being private rooms, each room had a different theme and scenery, even the corridors were designed with winding paths, both serene and peaceful.

To be honest, it didn’t quite resemble a bustling Chinese restaurant; it was more akin to those exclusive private home cooking places like Wang Residence.

But, nowadays, everyone craves this kind of setting, right?

Moreover...

Boss Chang wasn’t entirely without pride: their standards now far exceeded private home cooking places.

Walking through the tranquil hallway, the carpet silent and soft, the waiting staff along the corridor offered them a gentle smile.

The group took a few more steps, only to feel the unique fragrance of herbs and plants permeating the air, subtly faint, sniff carefully, yet nothing seemed to be there.

Another accompanying influencer sighed: "No wonder it’s a high-end restaurant; even the aroma they use is so exquisite. Do they sell it at their own store?"

"Huh?"

Little Picky Eater was stunned.

But the question didn’t need to be asked of the staff.

He was the one who had dined here the most in this group. Otherwise, how could he have amassed such a high consumption so quickly in less than a year? So he really did know!

He pointed to the half-rolled blinds in various passages, pale green and yellowish, looking both rustic and natural, seamlessly blending with the decor:

"I also asked about the fragrance, felt particularly calming, wanted to buy some for home. Turns out they told me, the scent comes from these blinds."
