Chen Nan walked to the side with his father and said, "Dad, when I was little, you always taught me to be polite. Now that Luo Guangyao is here, he's a guest, can we really just kick him out?"
"It's the first day of opening, this is very bad luck!"
Chen Shan puffed on his cigarette, looking unhappy.
"Don't worry, by the time Luo Guangyao finishes his meal, he'll probably be very angry!" Chen Nan's face showed a knowing smile.
He hadn't eaten dishes from Luo's Catering before.
But the taste of all their chain restaurants was mediocre, nothing to brag about.
Shannan Catering was destined to be different from other restaurants, and Luo Guangyao would definitely know the difference after tasting their food.
------
"Mr. Luo, here are our restaurant's six signature dishes, please enjoy!"
The waiter brought six dishes, four meat and two vegetarian, to Luo Guangyao.
Looking at the color and arrangement of the six dishes, Luo Guangyao didn't show much emotion. They were no different from ordinary dishes.
There was nothing particularly outstanding!
It was just that...
there was a unique aroma to the taste!
With an attitude of tasting and learning, Luo Guangyao picked up a braised sea cucumber with scallions and took a bite.
The next moment!
A unique aroma instantly activated his taste buds, making his heart unable to calm down.
"How can this sea cucumber have such a unique flavor?"
Luo Guangyao's expression was solemn.
As a person in the catering industry, the quality of his braised sea cucumber with scallions was very high.
Even though their restaurant also had this dish, there was a huge gap compared to Shannan Catering.
Afterward, he tasted the other five dishes!
Without exception, every dish had a unique flavor that whetted the appetite, making one want to eat more rice.
Finally!
Luo Guangyao finished all six dishes and two bowls of rice by himself!
He genuinely enjoyed the six dishes as a hungry diner!
"Uncle Luo, how are our restaurant's dishes?" Chen Nan walked over with a smile, "Do you think, with this taste, we can defeat your Luo's Catering?"
Luo Guangyao sneered, "Your restaurant's taste is passable, but it's still a long way from our Luo's Catering, let alone defeating us!"
"This is wishful thinking, an impossible feat!"
Luo Guangyao knew.
While the taste of a restaurant was important, operations were even more crucial!
The reason Luo's Catering had become one of the top ten catering institutions in the country was ultimately due to its operations!
After all, he knew that even good wine needs no bush.
Chen Nan's smile remained unchanged, "Alright then, we'll take it as it comes and see! Let's see which of us can establish a foothold in Jizhou!"
Luo Guangyao said, "Let's settle the bill!"
Chen Nan replied, "It's on us!"
"Do you think I lack this little money? If people knew that Luo Guangyao ate without paying, where would I put my face?" Luo Guangyao snorted heavily.
Pfft!
Chen Nan burst out laughing, "You were running naked in the Half-Mountain Villa area, so what face do you have left? I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh, but I really can't help it!"
"You've got guts!"
Luo Guangyao's eyes were filled with rage. This was the greatest humiliation he had suffered since coming to Jizhou, and it was Chen Nan who had inflicted it on him!
"I swear, I'll have Shannan Catering closed within a week!" he said, and left the restaurant in a huff.
Chen Nan chased after him and shouted loudly, "Mr. Luo, you haven't paid yet..."
"Damn it!"
Luo Guangyao almost cursed.
Didn't you just say this meal was free? Now that I'm leaving, you're shouting in public that I haven't paid?
Are you doing this on purpose?
"You won't lack your money!"
Luo Guangyao roared and then had his secretary send over the payment.
------
As soon as Luo Guangyao left.
Three familiar figures arrived uninvited.
They were the Guardians Chen Nan had met yesterday.
Qin Hongyu, wearing a qipao, black stockings, and high heels, holding a fan, said with a smile, "Little Nan Nan, we heard your restaurant opened, so we came to support you!"
"Welcome, a warm welcome!" Guests are guests, Chen Nan personally invited the three to be seated.
Although he didn't really like Li Mu!
But Qin Hongyu and Meng Kuo had left a deep impression on him!
These two were worth befriending!
Meng Kuo grinned and said, "Brother Chen, does your restaurant have pork knuckles? Bring me ten portions to fill my stomach first!"
Chen Nan said to the waiter, "Go prepare ten portions of tiger skin pork knuckles!"
"Yes!"
Chen Nan looked at Li Mu and couldn't help but say, "Brother Li, why are you sulking? Are you still not convinced? If so, how about we fight again after the meal?"
Li Mu's lips twitched, "Is that necessary?"
Qin Hongyu and Meng Kuo managed to suppress their laughter.
Their boss was already depressed enough from your beatings.
Chen Nan said, "Then cheer up! After all, it's my restaurant's opening day. You sulking will be quite a mood killer. Anyone who doesn't know might think I owe you money!"
Seeing the atmosphere becoming a little awkward, Qin Hongyu smoothed things over for Li Mu, "Boss is usually this serious and not prone to smiling."
Chen Nan pouted.
Qin Hongyu continued, "Chen Nan, we came here first to support you, and second, to invite you to join the Guardians."
Chen Nan replied, "Not interested at all!"
Qin Hongyu had expected Chen Nan to say this and continued, "There are many benefits to joining the Guardians!"
Chen Nan knew their intentions, "If I'm not mistaken, you want to use the Guardians to restrain me because you're afraid I'll harm society. Actually, there's no need for that!"
"From a personal perspective, you should know that the people I've killed deserved it."
"Don't they?"
Li Mu said, "If you become a Guardian, we can give you a lot of information about the Jiang family, which will help you kill Daoist Ku He!"
Chen Nan replied, "Even without you, I can still kill Ku He!"
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You can order your food. Today's meal is on me!"
He had no good feelings towards the so-called Guardians and wouldn't join them.
Cultivators emphasize freedom, so how could they be bound by any faction?
As for Ku He.
He didn't have time to go to the capital for now. Once the restaurant was successfully running and Luo Guangyao was driven out of Jizhou, he would definitely go to the capital to find Ku He.
Qin Hongyu sighed, "Boss, this guy's cultivation is more profound than ours. Let alone him not wanting to join the Guardians, even if he became a Guardian, if he lost control, who could resist him?"
"Oh, the pork knuckles are here. Let's eat first. We need to be full before we can think about other things!" Meng Kuo's eyes were fixed on the tiger skin and braised pork knuckles that were served.
Slap!
As he reached out to grab a pork knuckle, Qin Hongyu hit the back of his hand with her fan, her eyes full of resentment, "Are you really comfortable eating and drinking for free?"
Meng Kuo cautiously asked, "What else?"
Qin Hongyu rolled her eyes, "Can't you see that Shannan Catering and Luo's Catering are competitors?"
Meng Kuo said with a sly smile, "Sister Yu, you want me to take down Luo's Catering? Isn't that an easy task?"
