On the other side, Sumr Monroe was checking this month’s report at Luna Restaurant.
To her surprise, this not-so-large restaurant had a monthly turnover of as much as three hundred thousand.
Three hundred thousand is nothing to her, but it’s quite high for an average restaurant.
"Thank you for your hard work, manager. I reviewed the report and didn’t find any issues." Sumr pushed the report back.
The manager breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Young Master Knight instructed to manage this restaurant well, as long as you’re satisfied."
Sumr paused for two seconds and then asked with a smile, "Manager, have you ever thought about turning our restaurant into a chain?"
"A chain?" The manager shook his head, "Never thought about it."
"Well, now you can start thinking. I want to make Luna Restaurant a nationwide chain, and if it develops well, it might beco a global chain."
The manager’s eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"
Sumr nodded and said, "This restaurant holds a very special aning for , and I want to expand it. But before that, you need to communicate more with the chef and develop a few signature dishes."
The manager patted his chest.
"Don’t worry! I’ll pass it on to our head chef Old Lou later, he’ll definitely be thrilled."
Just then, a waiter ca in and reported, "Boss, manager, a foreigner has co outside, he can’t understand our nu, and we don’t know English, you see..."
"I’ll go out." Sumr Monroe walked out but turned and said to the manager, "Since we want to grow, the nu should be redesigned too. From now on, it should be in both Chinese and English, preferably with pictures."
"Okay, leave it to !"
Sumr nodded, followed the waiter to the front of the restaurant.
"Over there." The waiter pointed in a direction.
As Sumr looked over, she saw the other person excitedly running over to greet her, "San? Is that you?! Oh my god, I can’t believe it’s really you!"
Sumr’s mind went blank for a mont; then she saw Professor Harlan’s wrinkled face and big beard.
"Pro... Professor Harlan."
Professor Harlan grabbed her hand excitedly, as if fearing she would run away, his voice trembling asked, "Honestly, is the person I saw at Crestfall University you?"
"Professor Harlan, please let go of my hand..."
"I won’t let go unless you admit it."
Sumr had experienced Professor Harlan’s stubbornness many tis; he once blocked her for a week over a single problem.
With no choice, Sumr had to admit, "It’s , can you let go now?"
Only then did Professor Harlan release her hand and curiously asked, "How co you were at Crestfall University? When did you return to Cathaysia?"
"A few months ago, to handle so personal matters. Are you here for a al? It’s just so happened I own this restaurant, let treat you to a al. And by the way... I need a favor."
"What favor?"
"Help keep my identity a secret."
"No problem! But you have to tell , what were you doing at Crestfall University? You weren’t lured away to beco a teacher there, right? I told you, I invited you to co to teach at Britton University first, you can’t be snatched by Crestfall University!"
Sumr smiled helplessly, the two sat down to eat and chat; she briefly stated that she went to Crestfall University to find soone but had reasons not to reveal her identity.
Professor Harlan agreed imdiately, "No problem! I’ll just say I t a student from Aurelia whose English is very good. But, Crestfall University really isn’t as good as our Britton University."
Professor Harlan lanted, talking about Willow Grant.
Sumr was quite surprised, not expecting Willow Grant to make such a basic mistake.
Professor Harlan angrily said, "Lack of ability can be improved with learning, but dishonesty is a serious issue. With students like this, we’ll never accept them at Britton University!"
