Lin Xiao Tian was unaware of the camera installed in the examination room. After finishing the acupuncture for Guo Lin Qing, he prepared to leave.
"Xiao Tian, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Let me treat you!" Guo Lin Qing said enthusiastically.
For some reason, she now particularly wished for Lin Xiao Tian to be by her side.
"How can I let you do that? I should be treating you!"
"Haha, you said it yourself. Don't be stingy with your money later," Guo Lin Qing said playfully.
"Then where should we eat?" Lin Xiao Tian asked.
"I don't know, wherever."
"Wherever?" Lin Xiao Tian fell into thought.
He had only been to one or two places to eat in Jiang City, and if he had to choose, he could only think of those one or two places.
"Then let's go!" Lin Xiao Tian said, and led Guo Lin Qing out.
Ten minutes later, a taxi stopped in front of a building.
Before them stood an incredibly magnificent hotel, with several large characters shining brightly on its facade. As a local of Jiang City, Guo Lin Qing was no stranger to it.
"Jinyuan Grand Hotel?"
"Xiao Tian, why are we here?"
"To eat!" Lin Xiao Tian replied.
"Are you sure about eating here?" Guo Lin Qing was astonished.
"Of course!" Lin Xiao Tian nodded.
He was serious about eating here.
But it was clear that Guo Lin Qing didn't think so.
As a five-star hotel, Jinyuan Grand Hotel's consumption level had nearly doubled recently due to the whole fish banquet. It was now arguably the biggest hotel in Jiang City.
People who dined here were either for business meals or very important meetings, yet Lin Xiao Tian was bringing her here for lunch?
If not for Lin Xiao Tian's serious expression, Guo Lin Qing would have thought he was joking.
"Xiao Tian, this is Jinyuan Grand Hotel. Do you know how expensive it is here?" Guo Lin Qing reminded him.
"Don't worry, I have a membership card, and the hotel owner is my friend. I get a discount here, so it won't cost much."
"How about we don't? It's too expensive here. Even with a discount, it's still very expensive. Let's go somewhere else?" Guo Lin Qing suggested.
"If we change now, it will take a lot of time. Let's just eat here! Besides, my discount is much greater than that of ordinary people, up to fifty percent. It won't cost much," Lin Xiao Tian replied calmly.
Hearing Lin Xiao Tian's words, Guo Lin Qing was stunned.
Fifty percent off?
This meant that Lin Xiao Tian only had to pay half price to eat here?
Such treatment was something even the hotel's highest-level members couldn't achieve, right?
With a feeling of apprehension, Guo Lin Qing followed Lin Xiao Tian into the hotel.
As soon as they entered, the receptionist recognized Lin Xiao Tian and immediately came to greet him.
"Two people, please arrange a private room for me," Lin Xiao Tian said politely.
"No problem, Mr. Lin, this way please." The lobby manager personally led Lin Xiao Tian.
"Mr. Lin, shall I call Mr. Xue?"
"I'm just here for a meal, no need to trouble Mr. Xue."
The lobby manager nodded discreetly and then led Lin Xiao Tian upstairs.
Finally, they stopped in front of a high-class private room on the fifth floor.
The lobby manager opened the private room door for Lin Xiao Tian and then arranged for a dedicated server to attend to him.
"Mr. Lin, I won't disturb you any further." The lobby manager bowed slightly.
"It's alright, you can go about your business!" Lin Xiao Tian replied politely.
The lobby manager smiled slightly and then closed the door for Lin Xiao Tian.
Just before leaving, her gaze inadvertently swept over Guo Lin Qing. Both women, upon seeing Guo Lin Qing, were captivated by her figure and beauty.
As expected of the woman Lin Xiao Tian brought, her looks were only comparable to the manager herself.
Inside the private room, Lin Xiao Tian ordered a few dishes and then handed the menu to Guo Lin Qing.
But Guo Lin Qing stared at the prices on the menu, hesitating to make a decision.
Lin Xiao Tian noticed Guo Lin Qing's concerns and asked the nearby server for recommendations, then ordered the dishes based on the recommendations.
Soon, the dishes were served one after another.
Looking at the dazzling array of dishes before her, Guo Lin Qing didn't know what to say.
"Come, try this perch soup," Lin Xiao Tian pointed to the perch soup on the table.
Guo Lin Qing took a sip, and the next moment, her eyes lit up.
"How... how is it so delicious?"
Guo Lin Qing took several more sips and found that the perch soup was incredibly fresh and delicious.
She considered herself a picky eater, but she couldn't find any fault with this perch soup.
"Haha, this is soup made from the fish I sold, so of course it tastes good," Lin Xiao Tian said with a hint of pride.
"The fish you sold?" Guo Lin Qing was surprised.
No wonder Lin Xiao Tian had the fifty percent discount privilege at Jinyuan Grand Hotel and was personally attended to by the lobby manager.
So, Lin Xiao Tian actually had a collaboration with Jinyuan Grand Hotel.
Recalling a recent rumor that Jinyuan Grand Hotel had found a mysterious supplier, and it was said that it was thanks to this supplier that the hotel could create such a popular whole fish banquet.
Could Lin Xiao Tian be that mysterious supplier?
Thinking of this, Guo Lin Qing couldn't help but ask:
"Xiao Tian, the fish for the whole fish banquet at Jinyuan Grand Hotel, wasn't it supplied by you?"
Lin Xiao Tian nodded.
"You're that mysterious supplier?"
"Mysterious supplier? What's that?" Lin Xiao Tian was a little confused.
Then, Guo Lin Qing told him what she knew.
It turned out that ever since Lin Xiao Tian started supplying fish to Jinyuan Grand Hotel, other restaurants had been trying to find him, but Jinyuan Grand Hotel's confidentiality was so good that no one could find out about Lin Xiao Tian.
Furthermore, Lin Xiao Tian's occasional departures from the village were either by Manager Xu or Liang Xu, both of whom were very vigilant. Ordinary people could not track Lin Xiao Tian's whereabouts at all.
It was precisely because of these reasons that Lin Xiao Tian was labeled as mysterious.
Guo Lin Qing's family was in the aquatic products business, so she understood quite a bit about this matter.
She had initially thought such things were far from her, but now this person appeared right before her.
Upon hearing Guo Lin Qing's explanation, Lin Xiao Tian finally realized that he was so famous?
After the meal, Lin Xiao Tian saw that the time was about right and prepared to call for a car to take Guo Lin Qing back.
But just as he reached the door, Lin Xiao Tian received a phone call.
"Hello, Uncle Xu, what's wrong?"
"Xiao Tian, where are you?"
"I'm at Jinyuan Grand Hotel."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
"Uncle Xu, is something wrong with Nannan?" Hearing the urgency in his voice, Lin Xiao Tian thought something had happened to Nannan.
"Nannan is fine. I just felt I couldn't help much by staying here, so I'm coming over to continue working."
"Oh, there's no need." Lin Xiao Tian wanted to persuade Liang Xu to stay.
But Liang Xu clearly had his own plans.
Ten minutes later, a red sports car appeared at the entrance of Jinyuan Grand Hotel.
Lin Xiao Tian glanced at the sports car and shook his head helplessly.
"Let's go, Lin Qing, I'll take you back to the clinic," Lin Xiao Tian said.
"No need to trouble you, I can take a taxi myself." Guo Lin Qing really didn't want to bother Lin Xiao Tian any further.
"You taking a taxi will cost money, I have a ride," Lin Xiao Tian said, pointing to the red sports car in front of them.
Looking at the fiery red sports car, Guo Lin Qing was stunned.
She had noticed the car just now, but she hadn't expected it to be Lin Xiao Tian's.
