Return to 90 and start a career - Chapter 501

c501 501 Luncheon

At ten o’clock in the morning, the opening ceremony officially began.

The host came on stage and made a simple opening statement, and then spent five minutes briefly describing the creation process of Dragon Palace.

“Next, please invite our mayor of Rongcheng City, Ms. Li Manjun, chairman of Greenman, Mr. Fang Yun, general manager of Longgong, Ms. You Xiang, deputy general manager of Longgong, as well as important employees such as the sales department and logistics department to come to the stage to complete the ribbon-cutting ceremony.”

The audience looked at each other in surprise. Unexpectedly, Dragon Palace invited the mayor.

The person had just arrived and was not in the hall just now, so everyone was surprised.

As soon as Li Manjun and the mayor stepped onto the ribbon-cutting stage, they pushed each other and finally stood on each side with the ribbon-cutting ribbon in the middle.

When everyone is in place, the waiter comes up with scissors and hands them to everyone.

Under the attention of everyone, the host shouted: “The ribbon-cutting ceremony has officially begun. Leaders please cut the ribbon!”

With a few clicks of scissors, the long ribbons were cut short by everyone. At the same time, gun salutes sounded outside the hotel, colorful ribbons fell from the sky, and the opening ceremony of the Dragon Palace started smoothly.

In the banquet hall, there was thunderous applause, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

The mayor left in a hurry after cutting the ribbon. Mr. Qiu and others who wanted to come up to talk could not get to him at all.

The host was still on the stage, and there would be a show to perform in a while. Now he took advantage of the opportunity to announce the surprise event of Xiao Longnu Conch.

A little girl sitting in the front row stood up excitedly, “I have a conch!”

Her mother also stood up, her posture dignified and elegant, and her temperament was particularly unique among the guests.

“Who is this?” someone asked curiously, as if they had never seen it before.

On the other hand, Lu Shengming and Zhong Shirley looked over in surprise, as if they knew each other, and explained to Zhao Yong and others in a low voice: “They are the lover and daughter of our mayor of Rongcheng City.”

Sherry Chung added: “We are loyal fans of Sherry’s magazine of the same name, and the first copy of every issue is bought by her.”

However, I have not ordered any dresses from their store.

No, what the mayor’s wife is wearing today is not the high-end limited summer suit she just released last issue?

Shirley Zhong will never admit mistakes in the clothes she designs.

But she also remembered that the customer’s name was not on the order.

Moreover, she only gave this version to one person – Li Manjun.

Anyone can come if they want. As soon as Zhong Shirley suspected that it was a gift from Li Manjun, she walked off the stage in a glamorous manner.

First, he picked up his daughter and gave her a kiss. Then he stood with Zhao Yong and his parents and younger brothers so that the employees could take photos. After doing this, he beckoned their friends to come over and take a group photo together.

Everyone cooperated and finished taking photos, and waited for everyone to finish greeting Li Manjun. Then Shirley Zhong had time to squeeze in beside her, lowered his head and asked in her ear:

“The high-end dress I gave you actually changed hands and gave it to someone else. It was a pattern I made specifically for you, and you actually quoted someone else’s size.”

At that time, her assistant came over with the new measurements and asked her if Mr. Li’s size was a few centimeters different from the previous size. Did she fill it in incorrectly?

For those who make clothing, their eyes are like rulers. They can know the approximate size of the customer with just one scan.

The assistant had seen Li Manjun, and it was unreasonable that he had gained weight not long ago, so he suspected that the measurement was wrong.

Unexpectedly, Li Manjun came to measure the size herself. After working with Shirley Zhong for so many years, she still knows how to measure.

After that, I directly quoted someone else’s size and got a custom-made dress.

Seeing that Shirley Zhong didn’t look angry, Li Manjun smiled flatteringly at her, “Isn’t this a special situation? As you know, it’s not easy for my Dragon Palace Hotel to open.”

Therefore, she can’t afford to be aloof. She must bring in some heavyweights to deter the bad guys who want to make small moves behind her.

Shirley Zhong was indeed not angry with her. She heard the explanation and knew that it was not easy for Li Manjun. She patted her on the shoulder and asked funnyly:

“Don’t tell me, that custom-made mini baby clothes will happen to be a prize for the mayor’s daughter.”

Li Manjun grinned, “You guessed it right.”

Shirley Zhong glared at her angrily, “Fortunately I made a few more, otherwise my family would have been wronged every year.”

Li Manjun thought she was wishful thinking, and pointed to the child Zhao Jianing who had already led the two sisters of the Lin family to receive the prize and took a notebook, “My daughter is not interested in dolls.”

People only like stuffed toys.

Shirley Zhong couldn’t hear this, “How could she like it if you didn’t even give her a good-looking doll? My goddaughter will definitely like the baby I chose and the baby clothes I made!”

Li Manjun glanced at the router following the sisters and joked: “How about you have another daughter?”

Shirley Zhong had a cold face, and Li Manjun was also scared, “Okay, okay, let’s raise our daughter together.”

“Godmother makes more baby clothes.” Nian Nian doesn’t like it, but Nian Nian’s mother likes it very much!

Shirley Zhong was too lazy to talk to her, and became more and more thick-skinned.

As noon approached, people who were visiting gathered back in the banquet hall. You Xiangchong said on the intercom: “Is the kitchen ready? In the last two minutes, we are preparing to start the banquet and serve the dishes.”

Soon, a reply came from inside: “Mr. You, we are ready.”

“Okay.” You Xiang found Li Manjun, Li Manjun nodded, and You Xiang immediately went down to prepare.

“Sit down first. I’ll go take a look over there. I’ll come over and eat with you later. Help me take care of my daughter.” Li Manjun pushed Shirley Zhong back to her seat and handed her daughter to her.

Zhao Yong had to greet the guests together with her, after all, most of them were their mutual friends.

Li Manjun is not worried because his parents have Li Jianjun. His younger brother is not good at doing big things, but he is solid and reliable.

The food in the hotel is also very important. It can be regarded as the most important part today besides the ribbon cutting.

All kinds of cuisines were cooked and fully prepared, and the serving speed was very suitable. Within half an hour, all the drinks, dishes, and desserts were served.

Everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating. The heat of the dishes served before them was still there, which did not affect the taste.

Li Manjun secretly observed everyone’s expressions. He held a bowl of custard and didn’t move for a long time.

Zhao Yong is as nervous as his wife. Although he thinks these dishes are delicious, everyone has different tastes and needs to take into account the feelings of most people.

Fortunately, with a table full of twenty-two dishes, there was always something that everyone liked. This lunch was a very enjoyable one.

One of the dishes, steamed king crab, had ingredients freshly transported from Dongshi. It arrived last night and was cooked this morning. It retained the original umami flavor to the greatest extent and was well received.

Li Manjun and You Xiang, who was standing by the door and observing, quickly exchanged glances. This dish was this month’s signature dish.

The hotel opened today with a 20% discount on the entire hotel. After dinner, everyone who had time stayed behind to see what the Dragon Palace’s chess and card room and entertainment hall were like.

Fang Yun, You Xiang and others were responsible for these matters. Li Manjun breathed a sigh of relief after seeing off the guests who were leaving.
