Chapter 783: 202: Direct confrontation, what is her name? _6
Upon hearing this, a mocking expression appeared on Zheng Xianjing and the others’ faces.
Zheng Xianjing walked over to Ni Yang, intending to teach her a few lessons as the elder sister, to not brag and to be down-to-earth. Just as she was about to start, two other receptionists in traditional Han clothing walked out, “Sorry for the wait, Miss Ni. The new hires didn’t know about your identity. Please follow me.”
“No problem,” Ni Yang smiled slightly.
This left Zheng Xianjing stunned!
Liu Kexin was also stunned!
Liu Kexin quickly grabbed one of the receptionists by the sleeve, “Eh, you’re mistaken right? She can enter without a membership card?”
The receptionist smiled and replied, “As Ms. Ni is our esteemed VIP guest, she can indeed enter without a card.”
Zheng Xianjing clenched her fist. She had hoped to seize this opportunity to show off, but instead, Ni Yang stole the limelight.
How infuriating!
Since Liu Kexin was paying, Ni Yang didn’t hold back and ordered the most expensive dishes.
The total cost of the meal would amount to no less than seven to eight thousand yuan.
Seeing the prices on the menu made Liu Kexin wince.
If she had anticipated this, she wouldn’t have pretended to be generous!
While she wasn’t short on money, still, eight thousand yuan was enough for her to travel abroad two to three times!
The theme of the restaurant, National Beauty was traditional Chinese.
With wall murals depicting scenes from the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival, hand-carved lamps, and even redwood handmade chairs, the classical decor stood out as a breath of fresh air in an era that idolizes modern design and Western culture.
Old Master Zheng looked around and commented, “The owner is no ordinary person, they have a rich cultural background!”
Madam Zheng nodded in agreement, “I reckon they must be of considerable age. The younger generation these days are not fond of old-style things.”
Weddings in ancient times were grand affairs complete with phoenix crowns and red wedding gowns.
Now, they wore white wedding dresses instead.
Madam Zheng, having lived through those days, had a hard time accepting white in a festive celebration such as marriage.
The most crucial thing about National Beauty wasn’t just the service or the environment but the taste of their dishes which was simply unparalleled.
Whenever someone dines here, they would immediately think of National Beauty whenever they thought about dining out in the future.
Halfway through the meal, Ni Yang excused herself to conduct some business with Gu Lanzhi, as she considered this a good opportunity to discuss the restaurant’s revenue.
The third floor was a VIP area and thus was quiet, but the second floor was quite bustling with food carriers and customers.
As Ni Yang was descending the stairs, a food carrier crossed paths with her.
The food carrier was a tall girl who didn’t notice a banana peel on the stairs as her hands were full.
She stepped on it, losing her balance and was about to tumble over—
Just then, two people, one on each side, reached out and steadied her arm while two other hands prevented the tray and food from tipping over.
“Be careful.” Two voices echoed out at the same time.
One voice was gentle and calm, like an April breeze.
The other voice was warm and soothing, reminiscent of the sound emanating from an ancient bronze bell.
The girl was visibly scared and quickly said, “Thank you, sir, thank you, ma’am,” before hurrying off to deliver her dishes.
Only then did Ni Yang realize that she and a man dressed in a scholar’s robe had saved the food carrier.
Unlike modern men, he was dressed in an ancient robe with a pair of simple fabric shoes on his feet, his hair neatly combed back into a ponytail, and a string of Buddha Beads in his hand. His fair skin contrasted with the brown beads, his hands well-defined. Strangely, his hands appeared more beautiful than a lady’s by threefold.
His manner was gentle and courteous, making it hard to guess his actual profession.
While she was observing him, he was also observing her.
She was beautiful, probably the first impression of most people.
His gaze reminded him of a line of poetry: ‘Only Mudan truly represents the national beauty, when it blooms, it stirs Beijing.’
“The young lady possesses remarkable agility,” said the man, none other than Mr. Du.
Ni Yang gave a faint smile, “Likewise.”
This man’s quick reaction indicated that he was well-trained in martial arts.
His skill was not in line with his outward appearance and personality.
Ni Yang didn’t say much more. She picked up the banana peel from the stairs and continued down.
Mr. Du was slightly taken aback. He turned to watch Ni Yang’s figure leaving a furrow in his brows.

Her voice seemed familiar.
Where did he hear it?
A beautiful lady like her would have left a deep impression if they had met before.
But he couldn’t recall where he had seen her.
Ni Yang found Gu Lanzhi downstairs, discussed the business matters and emphasized on the restaurant’s sanitation. Had she and that man not responded promptly, the consequences would have been disastrous and it would have negatively impacted the customers on the stairway.
Upon hearing this, Gu Lanzhi felt a chill. If the food carrier had fallen, she, as the manager, would also have to bear the blame!
Luckily, it didn’t happen!
“Sure Yangyang, I understood. I’ll discuss with the cleaning department to increase their frequency of work to ensure such an accident doesn’t repeat.”
Ni Yang nodded.
“By the way, which private room is the man dressed in scholar’s attire a guest of?” Ni Yang enquired.
Gu Lanzhi thought for a moment and replied, “I believe he’s from Private Room 9.”
Ni Yang instructed, “Once you confirm he’s from Private Room 9, take the food carrier girl with you, apologize properly, and waive off his bill. Also, the mishap occurred due to poor sanitation, don’t blame it on the food carrier girl.”
“Understood.”
Once the discussions were over, Ni Yang left the office and returned to the third floor.
Gu Lanzhi was an efficient individual. Upon confirming that the guest Ni Yang referred to was from Private Room 9, she immediately took the food carrier girl with her to apologize.
Interestingly, only two people occupied the spacious Private Room 9.
One was sitting while the other was standing, possibly a master and his servant.
After explaining their purpose of visit, Mr. Du put down his teacup and absentmindedly fiddled with his Buddha Beads, “No need for waiving the bill, just answer a question for me.”
Gu Lanzhi bowed slightly, “Please ask, sir.”
Mr. Du raised his eyes slightly, his voice as gentle as ever, “What is the name of the young lady with excellent agility?”
