After they finished their meal, they walked out with Hannah.
At this time, a staff in the restaurant was unloading the goods. The truck looked a bit familiar. It seemed to be the one at the entrance of the San Diego Restaurant last time. The precious ingredients such as lobster, sea cucumber, and abalone were unloaded from the truck. Julie, Aviana and Diana couldn't help but stare at it.
"Where did these goods come from? It seems that the quality is not bad." The person from the restaurant checked the goods and said to the delivery person.
"The lobster is from Canada, the sea cucumber is from Australia, and the abalone is from Germany... Don't worry, all of them are the best in the world," the delivery person said.
"Show me the receipts of the goods. Let me see when they arrived at the port." The delivery person hurriedly gave a record book to the person from the restaurant. This is official data and records of the details of the goods.
"Hey, believe me. The goods given to you must be the best in JM City. These goods were inspected by the customs one hour ago, and they are definitely the freshest," the delivery person said with a smile.
"Yeah," The people in the restaurant nodded in satisfaction after reading the receipts. At this time, the staff in the restaurant had already selected the ingredients they needed, "Where do you send the rest?"
"We will send it to the San Diego Restaurant. Although they pick the goods after you, these are still the top-quality ingredients. I must say in JM City, your restaurant is the only one better than San Diego Restaurant." The delivery person said while moving the ingredients to the car.
Julie got stunned hearing their conversation. She couldn’t believe that San Diego Restaurant would pick the ingredients after this restaurant! Did it mean that the food here was even better San Diego Restaurant? Moreover, the goods would be delivered here within one hour after arriving at the port. How was this possible?
At this time, Julie tried to recall the taste of the food here. She was surer that the taste was even better than San Diego Restaurant.
Suddenly, Julie, Aviana and Diana couldn't help but feel great loss and great pain in their heart.
It would cost tens of thousands to eat a meal in San Diego Restaurant. And they got so embarrassed about the meal there today.
They didn’t expect that in Nepenthe Guesthouse, they could eat a meal for free that could be worth tens of thousands of yuan in San Diego Restaurant. And the ingredients here were even fresher than the ones in San Diego Restaurant.
They stayed in Nepenthe Guesthouse for a week, and they didn't even eat a meal here.
Even if the price was one-third of what was in San Diego Restaurant, they already wasted seven meals, which meant that they wasted 500 or 600 thousands yuan.
Thinking of losing so much money all at once, Julie, Aviana and Diana felt bitter and painful in their heart.
"Are you okay?" Hannah asked with concern. Why did three of them look pale suddenly?
"Not your business." Julie glared at Hannah. Thinking that Hannah was eating here the whole week, the more Julie talked to Hannah, the more uncomfortable Julie was as if Hannah took advantage of her.
After walking along the garden road in the courtyard, Julie,Aviana and Diana finally felt better. But there was one thing they didn’t understand, how could Nepenthe Guesthouse be better than San Diego Restaurant? After all, Nepenthe Guesthousewas just a hotel that was about to close down.
At this time, when they just walked to the door of the hotel, someone stopped them.
"I'm sorry. Please go around from that side" A worker in a suit and leather shoes reached out and stopped them.
"Oh, okay." Julie glanced at the man. He looked so handsome. Julie,Avianaand Diana didn’t leave. They stood at the side, checking on the handsome man.
There were several staff members here, and all of them looked tall and handsome. They were all wearing headsets and looking serious. They all said something to the headsets from time to time.
A few minutes later, several staff members suddenly became nervous and looked in the direction of the door.
A Hongqi car drove slowly to the door. A foreigner got out of the car. Immediately a Chinese man who looked like a leader walked forward with a smile to greet and shook hands with the foreigner. Then the Chinese leader invited the foreigner to walk to the door of Nepenthe Guesthouse.
There were a few reporters who followed, holding a camera to shoot pictures for two of them. And many staffs in suits and leather shoes guarded them to walk forward.
While walking, the Chinese leader introduced the Nepenthe Guesthouse to the foreigner through an interpreter. The foreigner nodded while looking at the decorations.
When they were passing by, Julie,Aviana and Diana heard the Chinese leader saying,
"Nepenthe Guesthouse is the best in JM City. It’s the hotel especially to entertain our most distinguished guests. It has hosted Mr. Sivir, the Secretary of the Finance department of the United States, Professor Prinz, the President of Oxford University, and Mr. Simon, the Director-General of UNESCO..."
Hearing that, the foreigner nodded and answered. The translator hurriedly translated.
"Mr. Touré said that he is honored to be able to stay in the place where so many distinguished people have stayed in. He also hopes that this trip to JM City will attract more investment from JM City to the Republic of El Salvador... "
While talking, they walked to a large conference hall in the courtyard.
Hearing what they said, Julie, Aviana and Diana were shocked.
"Okay." Hannah didn’t mind. She agreed immediately.
Hannah called Quincy immediately and asked him to renew the room for Julie, Aviana and Diana.
Hannah couldn’t help thinking that Jane told her before that Quincy was from a rich family. She didn’t believe Jane before. Now she believed her. But she needed to talk to Jane later about it.
"Thank you, dear Hannah. Have a good rest." Julie and the others strolled around in the courtyard after sending Hannah back to her room respectfully. After knowing that this was a state guesthouse, they felt that even the bathroom in the hotel smelt better.
The three women took tons of pictures, which would be the evidence in the future when they bragged that they had been to the State Guesthouse.
After shooting for two hours, they finally returned to the room contentedly.
"I can’t believe that Quincy could book a room at the State Guesthouse. He also looks very handsome," Diana said while sitting on the bed, looking at the photos on the phone.
"He never wears fancy clothes or any fancy watch. Moreover, his girlfriend Jane is so poor. I thought he was also a pauper. Now it seems that he is not what I thought."
"He is rich for sure. I just asked the staff. It costs more than 8,000 yuan to stay here for a night. How can he afford so much money if he is not rich?" Julie thought about it and said, "Don't forget that this is the State Guesthouse. He wouldn’t be able to book a room if he is nobody in JM City.”
"Yeah, I find it strange now. Think about it, when we went to the San Diego Restaurant for dinner, why was Manager Miller so polite to us? I thought it must be because of Yair. But after what happened at noon today, it turns out that it can’t be because of Yair. So who else it could be?" Aviana also calmly analyzed now.
"Quincy! It must be because of Quincy!" Julie continued, "I didn't expect that Quincy could be so complicated like this at such a young age."
"Yeah, normally young men from rich families are all arrogant and domineering. But look how calm and polite Quincy is! Quincy is obviously not a normal man. He must be very successful in the future."
Hearing what Diana said, two of them nodded in agreement.
"It would be great if Anne could be Quincy’s girlfriend. It seems that Hannah and her daughter Jane don't know that Quincy is that rich yet. What a great opportunity."
"Yes, compared to Quincy, Yair is nothing."
"Well, I will talk to Anne. Although the possibility is very low, she still needs to try. Or else if she lose such a great opportunity, she would regret for the rest of her life." Julie said with a deep voice.
