Seeing Sophie coming back, Zhao Dong asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you? Your face doesn't look good?"
Sophie didn't want Zhao Dong to worry, so she explained vaguely, "It's okay, let's go back first, I'll think about the wedding later."
Zhao Dong was confused, "Didn't we agree to go to the hotel? It's rare that I have time today."
Sophie forced a smile and said, "Oh, let's go then."
Zhao Dong felt strange. Before getting in the car, he called Sophie aside and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you hiding something from me?"
Sophie's expression returned to normal, "It's okay, I just felt a little uncomfortable just now, but I'm much better now."
Zhao Dong was doubtful, "Really?"
Sophie smiled, "Really, why did I lie to you? Let's go quickly, my sister-in-law is still waiting in the car."
A group of people got on the bus.
After visiting several hotels, the group finally arrived at Huangmen International near Jiangbei, which is also a famous five-star hotel in Tianzhou.
He expressed his intention to come at the bar, and soon the manager in charge of banquet sales came over to warmly welcome him.
It's strange to say that my sister-in-law can meet acquaintances wherever she goes today.
From a distance, I saw that they were classmates in high school.
The two met and chatted for a while, and then the manager looked at Zhao Dong and said, "This must be Xiaodong. Oh, I saw you once last time when you were getting married, and I don't dare to recognize you now."
Zhao Dong greeted her, "Sister Ma."
Sister Ma looked at Sophie again with surprise on her face, "Oh, the bride is so beautiful. Xiaodong, you are so lucky."
"Then you really need to choose a better hotel to be worthy of such a beautiful bride like us!"
As she said that, she pulled her sister-in-law aside and said in a low voice: "We are all old classmates, so I won't be polite to you."
"The prices for our meals here are not low. They are used by wealthy families to show off their appearance. The minimum order for the smallest restaurant is 30 tables. The minimum price for meals is 2,000, and there is no discount."
"If there are less than 30 tables, there will be an additional service fee for each table. I don't think we normal people need to come here. It's not worthwhile."
"I'm only telling you this because of my relationship with my old classmates."
"If you trust me, I will recommend a friend to you. She is also responsible for banquet sales there."
"With my reputation, you can get a meal with a price tag of more than one thousand. The environment is also good, and parking is convenient. Please consider it."
Just as I was talking, there was another customer consulting over there.
Zhao Dong said politely: "It's okay, Sister Ma, you go and do your work first, we can just walk around casually."
Sister Ma nodded, "Okay, Xiaodong, then I won't be polite to you anymore. Wait for me here with your sister-in-law, and you are not allowed to leave!"
"It's up to me to book the hotel!"
After Sister Ma left, Zhao Dong was not polite and went straight to the Donghai Hall that Liang Xiao had introduced, which was considered the largest banquet hall here.
After looking around, Zhao Dong was quite satisfied. The stage, lighting, equipment and sound in the banquet hall were all complete.
Most importantly, the place is spacious and can accommodate nearly two hundred tables.
Exactly as expected.
Zhao Dong turned around and said: "I think this place is good, this is it, I'm too lazy to bother with it anymore."
Sophie was a little distracted.
The sister-in-law was stunned, "Ah? Such a big hall?"
"Xiaodong, Sister Ma told me just now that the food here is not cheap, costing more than two thousand."
Zhao Dong explained, "Sister-in-law, before I have time to tell you, not counting our relatives, the Su family wants a hundred tables."
"The ones I just looked at are either too far away or too small."
The sister-in-law was dumbfounded. If we really wanted to book a table here for 100 tables, how much would it cost?
Just as I was thinking about it, a group of people walked in outside.
Sister Ma walked in front and introduced.
Entering the banquet hall, I heard a woman say sweetly: "I like it here, Dacheng, let's settle here."
The man was slightly chubby. He rubbed the ring on his hand and said, "Okay, since my dear likes it, let's settle on this."
As he said that, he looked at Sister Ma and said, "Manager Ma, please place the order. We will make the reservation here."
"When the time comes, you have to provide us with better services."
Sister Ma laughed and said, "Mr. Qi, don't worry!"
When she turned around, she saw Zhao Dong and his group, "Xiaodong, why are you wandering here? I was looking for you just now!"
Zhao Dong explained, "Sister Ma, it's okay. You are busy with your business. I am not in a hurry."
"By the way, our wedding venue has been chosen here."
Sister Ma was slightly stunned, "Xiaodong, are you sure? The minimum reservation here is eighty tables."
As she said that, she also looked at her sister-in-law.
Zhao Dong nodded, "What's so uncertain about this?"
Sister Ma stopped trying to persuade her, "Okay, Xiaodong, I didn't see that you actually care about your wife so much."
"This wedding will cost the family a lot of money, right?"
It's not surprising that she thinks so. How many people at Zhao Dong's age can afford such a large sum of money to hold a wedding, most of which will be spent on family money.
Zhao Dong didn't explain either.
Sister Ma asked, "By the way, when is your wedding date?"
Zhao Dong replied, "The eighth day of next month."
Sister Ma was stunned. Before she could open her mouth, there was a woman over there who was ahead of her. "On the eighth day of the lunar month, why are you on the same day as us?"
The fat man stepped forward and said forcefully: "Manager Ma, we just agreed that we have reserved this banquet hall."
Sister Ma was in a dilemma. She just thought that Zhao Dong would not decide and just came to watch the excitement, so she didn't even ask about the wedding date.
Besides, she knew the situation of the Zhao family. It was a small family, so even if it was decided, it would definitely not be the largest Donghai Hall.
What to do now?
Both groups of people fell in love with this banquet hall, and it happened that they bumped into each other on the wedding day!
Seeing that Sister Ma was silent, the fat man stepped forward and glared at Zhao Dong, "Boy, we reserved this banquet hall first, you go find another place!"
Zhao Dong smiled. If the other party spoke politely and he was in a good mood, he might let him out.
Anyway, I have had a few hotels with good impressions before, and it will be the same no matter where I stay.
But the other party's aggressive attitude made him a little unhappy.
Zhao Dong asked, "What do you mean by making a reservation first?"
"Do you understand that it's a first-come, first-served basis? We'll go to the store first to inquire. We also saw this banquet hall first, so why should we give it to you?"
The fat man pointed at Zhao Dong, "Boy, don't talk so wildly!"
"Do you know how much the food prices here cost? It's just a marriage. Whatever you can do, you can do as much as you can."
As he said that, he looked at Sophie, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, "My wife is quite beautiful, but are you embarrassed to spend such money?"
"To be honest, I can't stand you young people trying to make a fool of yourself!"
"In order to show off, I emptied my parents' savings over the years and borrowed a lot of debt."
"Tell me, what are you planning?"
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "Can you help me make my wife happy?"
"Also, I earned my own money, so I'm happy to spend it however I want. It's not your turn to dictate here!"
The fat man clenched his fists and was about to take action.
Zhao Dong glanced at him and said, "Want to take action? You try?"
