These people may have co for their own benefit, but they didn’t expect to end up giving money to Jiulan Hall.
Even Qiu Qianghai and the others were quite surprised.
Qiu Qianghai glanced at the account book in Gu Jin’s hand and squinted his eyes with a smile: "Gu Jin, I think you’ve been counting money so much lately that your hands are getting tired. Should we add two more tables for today’s booking at Haijiang Hotel?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jin looked at the crowd in the lobby on the first floor, who hadn’t yet left.
Most of the unfamiliar faces weren’t here for her, but these people ended up giving her quite a bit of money.
Others were generous, so she couldn’t be stingy.
Gu Jin nodded: "Then let’s book two more tables. If there’s nothing else, should we head over now?"
It was already noon, ti for lunch.
She glanced at the young man beside her, thinking skipping one al wouldn’t kill him, but it might help shed a pound. It’s better to eat on ti.
"Alright, I’ll make a call."
Qiu Qianghai made a phone call to Li Qingfeng, asking him to free up two more rooms, and the kitchen got moving as they would head over soon.
Gu Jin went upstairs to find Liang Xia, asking him to stay with the two newly hired clerks to watch the shop, and lunch would be sent over shortly.
"No problem, leave the shop to and rest assured."
Liang Xia was full of excitent, his eyes slightly glowing. With the shop doing well, he was also happy.
Initially, Gu Jin promised him that as long as anything was sold in the shop, he would receive a one percent commission with no salary, only commission.
With today’s business being so good, he couldn’t even imagine how much he could earn. It might be an amount he wouldn’t make in years.
Gu Jin, Qiu Qianghai, and others brought so talk, along with quite a few uninvited custors at the shop, to Haijiang Hotel.
...
On the ninth floor of Haijiang Hotel, there was a large banquet hall of a hundred square ters, and Qiu Qianghai decided to hold the gathering here.
Although the guests invited today weren’t people of great importance, they were more or less reputable figures.
Gu Jin had just stepped into the edge of power in Wanhai, and it was important for people to know that she was under the Yu Family’s protection.
This was a fitting opportunity.
Once inside the banquet hall, Gu Jin was arranged to sit at the main seat of the central dining table. To her right was the well-behaved and quiet An Mingji, her left was the sunny and handso Yu Shuo, and Qiu Qianghai.
Below were Jiang Hanyi, Yuan Shangwei, Feng Hui, Hu Yue, Ma Qiaolan, Teacher Tong, Liu Quan, Dali, and others accompanying her.
At the other two tables were people who were either familiar or strangers.
However, sitting here today, they were all considered acquaintances.
Once the food was served, Qiu Qianghai had soone bring out so bottles of imported red wine.
Gu Jin stood up with her wine glass in front of her and addressed everyone: "Today is the opening of Jiulan Hall, and I, Gu Jin, sincerely thank everyone for coming to support us. I toast to everyone; enjoy your food and drink!"
With that, she drank the wine in her glass in one go.
"Miss Gu, you’re too kind—"
"Miss Gu is so generous, co on, everyone, raise your glasses."
"Cheers!"
The surrounding people were making a ruckus, and although they didn’t know Gu Jin’s background, seeing the people sitting at her table, everyone was flattering her.
After everyone had their drink, they sat down and started eating, not wanting to waste the famous cuisine of Haijiang Hotel.
People were eating while talking quietly, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
However, there were always so people who were arrogant, looked down on everyone, and harbored jealousy and pettiness.
"Xiao An, eat so more, you must be exhausted today; I noticed you haven’t even had a sip of water."
Gu Jin picked up a piece of rice lotus root and placed it on An Mingji’s plate.
