Senior sister, stop working and go home for dinner.

As he spoke, Fatty Li gave Xiao Zhou a wink, and Xiao Zhou understood, immediately leaving the room to go to the kitchen to make arrangements.

Suddenly, Su Wan seemed to remember something and asked, "Why haven't we seen any guests?"

"This..." Upon hearing this, Fatty Li kept glancing at Chen Anran, looking hesitant and stammering.

It turns out that Chen Anran did not tell Su Wan about the specific business model of "Yunyin Xiaozhu".

At this moment, Chen Anran stepped forward to explain, "Senior Sister, our Yunyin Sect is located in a remote area. There's only a small village at the foot of the mountain, and there aren't many tourist attractions around, so it's even less likely that there will be any tourists." After a slight pause, she added, "More importantly, our Yunyin Xiaozhu is positioned as a high-end establishment, so the prices are a little bit expensive."

Su Wan was taken aback. "A little expensive?"

Chen Anran didn't explain further, but instead called out to Fatty Li, "Old Li, go and get the menu for our sect leader."

Fatty Li said "okay," and then quickly took a beautifully bound booklet from the drawer next to him, held it with both hands, and respectfully handed it to Su Wan.

Su Wan took the menu and immediately noticed its exceptional quality. The cover was made of fine linen, embroidered with the "Yunyin Xiaozhu" emblem and several delicate orchids in silk thread.

Su Wan curiously flipped through the book, and when her gaze fell on the names of the dishes and their prices, a clear look of surprise appeared on her usually calm face for the first time.

"Stir-fried mountain vegetables... 188,888?"

"Lingjun Soup... 288,888?"

"Fruit platter...168,888?"

"Even a bowl of rice costs 88,888?"

"The cheapest one is actually this sticky rice chicken... 8,888?"

"This... Layman Li, Anran, isn't this price... isn't it too outrageous?" Su Wan raised her head, looking at Fatty Li, then at Chen Anran, her eyes full of confusion. Although she didn't concern herself with worldly affairs, she wasn't completely ignorant of the world's situation.

Are you sure this price won't attract some trouble?

Fatty Li broke out in a sweat after being questioned by Su Wan, and looked to Chen Anran for help.

Chen Anran cleared her throat and explained, "Senior Sister, please don't be anxious, let me explain. This price is actually not expensive at all."

"Not expensive?" Su Wan raised her voice slightly, a rare occurrence, and pointed to the menu. "A bowl of rice costs nearly 90,000, and a plate of vegetables costs nearly 190,000... If word gets out, what will outsiders think of my Cloud Hidden Sect? Won't they say we're plundering by trickery, and how are we any different from heretics?"

"Senior Sister, think about it, are the rice and vegetables we sell ordinary rice and vegetables?" Chen Anran said calmly. "The rice contains a trace of spiritual energy, the vegetables contain spiritual energy, and even the fruits contain spiritual energy. As long as you eat them regularly, it will definitely strengthen your body, prolong your life, and cure old ailments. For the truly wealthy people down the mountain, health and freedom from illness are things that money can't buy."

Fatty Li quickly chimed in, spitting as he spoke: "Yes, yes, Fairy Su! You have no idea what those rich people down the mountain are thinking! They spend hundreds of thousands on a bottle of wine, millions on a handbag, without even blinking! Our spiritual food, the effects are real!"

Upon hearing this, Su Wan's expression softened slightly. After all, she was a cultivator and understood the allure of spiritual energy to mortals; however, her lifelong habit of solitary cultivation made it difficult for her to accept such "mercenary" behavior.

Seeing this, Chen Anran continued to reassure her: "Senior sister, we are not forcing you to buy or sell. The price is clearly stated, and it's up to you to take the bait."

Although Little Ling'er couldn't understand the specific numbers, she shook Su Wan's hand and said in her childish voice, "Master, Junior Uncle is right!"

Su Wan looked at Chen Anran, who was looking serious, and then at Li Pangzi, who was full of expectation, and Xiao Ling'er, who was innocent and naive. Finally, she sighed softly, "Alright, since it's up to you to manage, you can handle it yourselves. Just remember, you must not bully others or abuse your power."

Fatty Li, overjoyed, patted his chest repeatedly and assured her, "Don't worry, Fairy Su! I, Old Li, have always been honest and trustworthy in business, and reputation is the most important thing! This is absolutely great value for money!"

Just then, Chen Anran's phone rang. Chen Anran took out her phone and saw that it was Zhao Yangmao, no, it was Chairman Zhao calling.

Chen Anran pressed the answer button, and Zhao Qiming's familiar, somewhat ingratiating voice immediately came through:

"Master Chen! My friends and I are almost there. The navigation says it's about half an hour away."

"Okay, I understand." Chen Anran replied briefly and then hung up the phone. He then said to Su Wan and Fatty Li, "Chairman Zhao of Tianhe Group and his friends will be here soon."

Upon hearing this, Fatty Li became even more energetic. Having worked in Guangzhou for so many years, he was very familiar with the name Zhao Qiming of Tianhe Group.

"Chairman Zhao is a big client! I'll go to the kitchen right now and have them add a few more dishes! Make sure all our distinguished guests are satisfied!" With that, he rushed out again.

Su Wan hadn't heard of this wealthy man's name before. She frowned slightly. "This Mr. Zhao is certainly enthusiastic. But Anran, given our pricing, why did he bring a friend..."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. Chairman Zhao is a discerning person, and the friends he brings must be either rich or powerful. We will treat them with sincerity and show them the 'real stuff,' and in the end they will definitely feel that it is worth more than their money."

Hearing Chen Anran say this, Su Wan still felt that the price was outrageous, but she no longer insisted. She turned her gaze back to the babbling stream outside the window, lost in thought.

About half an hour later, the low rumble of car engines could be heard outside the courtyard; there was more than one car.

Fatty Li sprang out of the kitchen like a spring, his face beaming with a professional, enthusiastic smile, and quickly went to greet them. Xiao Zhou immediately perked up, straightened his clothes, and followed closely behind.

Xiao Zhou and his group had been quite anxious lately. Since opening, they hadn't had any business, and the prices of the dishes were outrageously high. They were genuinely worried that Yunyin Xiaozhu would go bankrupt one day, and their high-paying jobs would soon be gone.

But now, upon hearing their General Manager Li say that guests would be arriving soon, and that it would be Chairman Zhao from Tianhe Group, the weight that had been hanging over everyone's hearts not only lifted, but was also instantly replaced by a tremendous sense of excitement.

Xiao Zhou took a deep breath, suppressing her excitement, and quickly put on the most appropriate and professional smile. She walked briskly to a spot a step behind Fatty Li, her eyes shining as she looked towards the courtyard gate.

The other waiters quickly exchanged glances and sprang into action. Some swiftly inspected the already spotless corridor and the plants; others subconsciously straightened their already neat clothes and hair accessories; the tea server had already quietly retreated to the preparation room, ready to serve hot tea to guests at any time.

The entire team instantly shifted from a state of confusion to an efficient and professional customer service mode.

Fatty Li sensed the change in the aura of the team behind him, and a hint of smugness appeared on his chubby face. He straightened his back considerably. He whispered to Xiao Zhou, "Pay attention. Chairman Zhao and his friends are the most important guests since the opening of Yunyin Xiaozhu. We can't afford any mishaps."

"Understood, Mr. Li," Xiao Zhou replied.
