The Secret to Picking Up Girls

"Sir, I am the manager of this hotel. The thing is, we..." Perhaps because it was difficult to say, the man seemed hesitant.

"Just say what you need to say, or get out," Zhang Yuze said, growing impatient when the man didn't speak.

"Sir, the thing is, I was wondering if you could change rooms..." the middle-aged man, who identified himself as the lobby manager, said to Zhang Yuze.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuze's expression darkened. He stared coldly at the lobby manager and asked, "Why?"

"Well... it's because there's another guest outside who insists on having this private room, so..."

"So, he's a guest, but I'm not your guest?" Zhang Yuze said, staring coldly at the lobby manager.

"Of course not, sir. We're just..." The manager's face paled as Zhang Yuze cut him off, clearly embarrassed.

"Let me tell you, no matter who's outside, I'm not leaving unless you can find a reason to convince us," Zhang Yuze said coldly to the so-called manager.

"Sir, please reconsider. We can give you a discount on all your expenses today. All you have to do is change rooms, which won't affect your meal at all..." the manager continued to persuade Zhang Yuze.

Zhang Yuze was growing impatient. He turned to the manager and said, "This isn't about money. It's about credibility. If you make me change places every time you encounter a more important guest, even if you waive the entire bill, do you think I'd be comfortable with that?"

Seeing that the manager wanted to say something more, Zhang Yuze turned his gaze to the manager's face and said calmly, "Besides, do you think people who can afford to eat here care about a little bit of money?"

Zhang Yuze's words made the manager's face turn pale, and he retreated in embarrassment.

"What's wrong, Yuze?" Guo Xiaolu had heard Zhang Yuze's conversation with the manager and looked at him with concern.

"Humph! It's nothing. Let's continue eating! Don't let them spoil our mood," Zhang Yuze said, shaking his head as if nothing had happened.

"Yuze, why don't we just change places?" Guo Xiaolu hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhang Yuze.

Zhang Yuze's face darkened, and he said uncomfortably to Guo Xiaolu, "You don't need to worry about this. I have my own plans."

The girls exchanged glances, seeing Zhang Yuze's insistence, but didn't say anything more.

However, the subsequent developments made Zhang Yuze even more annoyed.

Zhang Yuze pressed the service bell. Soon, a hotel waitress walked in from outside and approached Zhang Yuze.

"Sir, what do you need?" The waitress asked cautiously, seeing that Zhang Yuze's expression was extremely unpleasant.

"Hmph, there are only twelve dishes now. What about the rest? Are you saying that I spent tens of thousands of yuan just to eat this? So this is the so-called Manchu Han Imperial Feast of your esteemed hotel?" Zhang Yuze said with a hint of sarcasm.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'll go ask right away. Perhaps there's been a mistake in our restaurant," the waitress nodded to Zhang Yuze and immediately turned to leave.
